Empery Digital Inc.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Organization and Nature of Operations

Empery Digital Inc. (“Empery Digital” or the “Company”) was formed on February 21, 2020, as a Delaware corporation, under the name Frog ePowersports, Inc. The Company was renamed Volcon, Inc. on October 1, 2020. The Company was renamed Empery Digital Inc. on July 30, 2025, and changed its Nasdaq ticker symbol from VLCN to EMPD.

Effective as of July 17, 2025, the Company adopted a digital asset treasury strategy with the goal of becoming a leading, low cost, capital efficient, globally trusted aggregator of Bitcoin. Empery Digital Inc. was founded as the first all-electric powersports company sourcing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Going forward the Company intends to operate the powersports brand under the brand name Empery Mobility.

On January 5, 2021, the Company created Volcon ePowersports, LLC (“Volcon LLC”), a Colorado wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to sell the Company’s vehicles and accessories in the United States (“U.S.”). Since 2023 Volcon LLC has not been used for selling vehicles and accessories. The Company intends to rename Volcon LLC in the future.

Going Concern

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has recurring losses and has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception.

In February and March 2024, certain holders of the convertible notes issued by the Company in May 2023 (the “May 2023 Convertible Notes”) converted approximately $7.4 million of principal to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “common stock”). In March 2024, the holders exchanged the remaining $24.7 million outstanding principal amount of May 2023 Convertible Notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a $1,000 per share value and an initial conversation price of $8,512 per share for common stock (see Note 7). All covenants from the May 2023 Convertible Notes were terminated upon this exchange.

As discussed further in Note 8 below, on May 22, 2024, the Company issued Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,942,170 due May 22, 2025 (the “May 2024 Notes”) for net proceeds of $2,255,851. The holders of the May 2024 Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “May 2024 Note Warrants”) to purchase 1,589 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1,856 per share. The May 2024 Note Warrants were exercisable beginning November 23, 2024 and expire November 23, 2029.

On July 12, 2024, the Company sold 12,826 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $233.60 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 38,544 shares of common stock at $233.60 per pre-funded warrant. The Company received net proceeds of $10,789,261. Proceeds from this offering were used to repay the May 2024 Notes.

In October 2024, the Company established an At the Market equity offering program (the “ATM”) whereby the Company can sell up to $100 million of its common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has raised net proceeds of $10,288,062 from sales under the ATM.

On February 6, 2025, the Company sold 53,750 common stock units (each composing of one share of common stock and one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock) and 696,250 pre-funded warrant units (each comprising of one pre funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one common warrant to purchase one share of common stock) at $16 per unit in an underwritten public offering (each as adjusted for the Company’s 1-for-8 reverse stock split). The common warrants issued as part of the units had an exercise price of $16 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $10,703,882 from this offering.

On July 21, 2025 the Company completed private placements with certain institutional and accredited investors (“Private Placements”) for the sale of 44,414,189 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,728,662 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $0.00001, for $9.99999 per share of common stock underlying such warrants. The Company received gross proceeds of over $501 million which included payment by certain purchasers using Bitcoin valued at approximately $28 million and net cash proceeds of approximately $452 million after fees and expenses associated with the Private Placements. The Company has used the net proceeds to purchase Bitcoin under its digital asset treasury strategy.

Management anticipates that our cash on hand as of September 30, 2025, plus cash expected to be generated from operations and premium from derivative trading and the cash received from the Private Placements will be sufficient to fund planned operations beyond one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Nasdaq Compliance

On July 5, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires that it maintain a market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) of at least $35 million. MVLS is calculated by multiplying the Company’s shares outstanding by the closing price of its common stock. On December 19, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

On December 26, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) as the closing bid price of our common stock had been below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days from December 11, 2023 through December 22, 2023 and was subject to delisting on January 2, 2024. On January 4, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it did not meet the MVLS requirement and it was subject to delisting. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for both of these matters, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on March 26, 2024 and on April 2, 2024, they informed the Company that the Company had until June 24, 2024 to regain compliance with the above listing rules.

On June 11, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Company no longer met the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement for Nasdaq and, as such, it no longer complied with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). Furthermore, the notice indicated that this matter would serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, that the Panel would consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq, and that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than June 18, 2024. On June 18, 2024, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq notifying them that the Company was in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) due to the issuance of additional shares of common stock from the conversion of preferred stock to common stock by certain Preferred Stockholders.

On July 17, 2024, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will continue to be monitored for ongoing compliance.

On May 13, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of its common stock had been below $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department for this matter, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Company completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split. The Company participated in a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Department on June 24, 2025.

On July 17, 2025, Nasdaq informed the Company that it had regained compliance with the above listing rules but will need to continue to remain in compliance with the minimum bid price rule through November 10, 2025 in order to avoid delisting. Through November 10, 2025, the Company has remained in compliance with the minimum bid price rule.

Impact of Tariffs on Imported Goods from China and Vietnam

On April 2, 2025, the U.S. imposed reciprocal tariffs on imports from various countries including China and Vietnam starting with a 10% baseline tariff. On April 9, China-specific tariffs increased significantly, while Vietnam’s tariffs were deferred for an initial 90-day period. That pause was later extended to August 1, 2025, and then to August 7, 2025, maintaining Vietnam’s tariff at the baseline 10% during such extension.

Following ongoing negotiations, a tentative trade deal with Vietnam was reached on July 2, 2025. U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese goods would be set at 20%, while goods deemed to be Chinese in origin but routed through Vietnam (transshipments) would be subject to a 40% tariff. This replaces the originally stated 46% rate. The 20% rate became effective August 7, 2025, and as of the date of this report, remains in place while the two countries finalize the broader reciprocal trade framework.

China remains subject to an additional 30% tariff (down from the temporary increase, effective mid-May) under the continued reciprocal framework. That rate is in effect through August 12, 2025, pending further amendment. On August 11, 2025, the U.S. extended the existing tariff truce with China by 90 days to November 10, 2025, maintaining the 30% tariff rate during such extension.

Tariffs imposed by the current U.S. administration continue to impact the Company’s cost for vehicles and parts manufactured in China, Thailand and Vietnam. With the expected Vietnam tariff rate of 20%, the Company can continue sourcing from Vietnam, though it would likely result in a modest reduction in margins and a corresponding increase in retail pricing. The Company remains actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including U.S. assembly or shifting production as well as potentially adjusting selling prices to offset elevated import costs.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2025. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Results for the interim periods in this report are not necessarily indicative of future financial results and have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are consistent with the adjustments recorded to prepare the annual audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On June 11, 2025, the Company completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts previously disclosed have been updated to reflect the impact of this reverse split. See Note 11 for further discussion.

Per the terms of the 1-for-8 reverse stock split on November 8, 2024, the Company agreed that no fractional shares would be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and that it would issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. On November 19, 2024, the Company received notice from DTCC on behalf of the brokerage firms that hold the shares of Company common stock held in “street name” that in connection with the foregoing rounding of shares the Company would need to issue 23,617 shares of common stock. The Company did not believe the number of shares being requested was correct based on the historical number of stockholders of its common stock and is aware of similar occurrences in recent months for other companies completing a reverse stock split. As such, the Company made inquiries into the calculations set forth in the request. The Company concluded that the information requested was not going to be provided and therefore on May 5, 2025, these shares were issued (see Note 13 for further discussion of impact to basic and diluted net loss per share).

**Digital Assets **

The Company accounts for its digital assets, which are composed solely of Bitcoin, including Bitcoin restricted by lenders as collateral for borrowings, as non-current indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other(“ASC 350”) and ASU 2023-08. The Company’s digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are measured at fair value as of each reporting period. The Company determines the fair value of its Bitcoin in accordance with ASC 820,*Fair Value Measurement,*based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the Gemini exchange, the active exchange that the Company has determined is its principal market for Bitcoin (Level 1 inputs). Changes in fair value are recognized as incurred within “Unrealized loss on digital assets”, within operating expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Bitcoin restricted by lenders as collateral for borrowing are separately classified from digital assets due to the restrictions imposed on this Bitcoin until the underlying borrowings are repaid.

Concentration Risk

The Company outsources certain portions of product design and development for its vehicles to third parties. In addition, the Company has outsourced the manufacturing of all of its vehicles to third party manufacturers.

On January 8, 2024, the Company notified the manufacturer of the Volcon Youth motorcycles that it was terminating the co-branding and distribution agreement with them due to lower than anticipated sales of these units. In March 2024, the Company agreed to allow the manufacturer to keep all fully paid for units manufactured and held by the manufacturer, cease selling the Volcon Youth motorcycles as of June 30, 2024, and pay cash of $2,070,000 which included a payment of $370,000 in March 2024 and $100,000 monthly for 17 months starting April 2024. All Volcon Youth inventory was written off as of June 30, 2024.

The settlement was recorded in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. On October 2, 2024, the Company and the manufacturer amended the settlement agreement and the Company agreed to pay the manufacturer $300,000 by October 31, 2024 to fully settle the remaining payments under the March 2024 agreement and to return any remaining spare parts and finished goods held by the Company in its Texas warehouse. The Company recognized a reduction of expense of $700,000 in cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to this amendment.

In June 2024, the Company was notified by the manufacturer of a suspension component for the Stag utility terrain vehicle (“UTV”) that due to the Company’s initial production forecast provided by the third party manufacturer of the Stag, the vendor had acquired raw materials to fulfill several months’ worth of this component needed for the forecast. Although the Company had provided updated forecasts to the third party manufacturer of the Stag, the revised forecasts were not provided timely to this vendor. The Company entered into an agreement to pay for the excess raw materials by making weekly payments of $13,791 through February 2026 and to purchase remaining finished goods. The Company recorded an expense of $1,091,308 in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2024. The remaining liability as of September 30, 2025 is $282,230, which is classified as short-term on the balance sheet.

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”) with the manufacturer of the Stag and Grunt EVO, pursuant to which the Company and the manufacturer agreed to terminate the Supplier Agreement dated March 11, 2022 for the development and engineering of the Volcon Stag vehicle prototypes; the Supplier Agreement dated May 29, 2022 for the manufacturing of the Volcon Grunt EVO motorcycle; and the Supplier Agreement dated August 11, 2022 for the manufacturing of the Volcon Stag vehicle (collectively, the “Supplier Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreement, among other items, the Company and the manufacturer agreed to indemnify each other with respect to certain outstanding vendor payables and the Company agreed to pay the manufacturer a termination fee of $125,000 per month for a period of twenty-two months. The remaining liability as of September 30, 2025 is $1,422,665 which is classified as short-term on the balance sheet.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE 3 –SEGMENT REPORTING

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-7”), requiring public companies to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public companies with a single report segment were required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements of ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Subsequent to the implementation of the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy, the Company continues to operate asone operating segment and the Company’s Co-CEOs are the CODMs. The “Corporate & Other” category presented in the following tables is not considered an operating segment. It consists primarily of costs and expenses related to executing the Company’s Bitcoin strategy and includes the unrealized gain or loss on digital assets, other third party costs associated with the Company’s Bitcoin holdings, and net interest expense primarily related to debt obligations, the net proceeds of which were primarily used to repurchase the Company’s common stock. Beginning in July 2025, the Company has dedicated certain corporate resources to its Bitcoin strategy. These costs, including related share-based compensation expense, are included within the “Corporate resources” and the “Share-based compensation expense” segment expense line items to better align with their activities and utilization. The following tables present (for the operating segment and the corporate & other category, and on a consolidated basis) the Company’s revenues and significant expenses regularly provided to the CODMs, reconciled to net income (loss) for each of the periods presented.

Prior to the implementation of the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy in July 2025, the Company operated as one operating segment, and the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) was the CEO, who used the consolidated statement of operations to assess financial performance. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, see the condensed consolidated statement of operations above.

NOTE 4 –DIGITAL ASSETS

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s investment in digital assets comprises 4,081 Bitcoin, including 2,934 Bitcoin with a carrying value of $334,724,091 and 1,147 Bitcoin with a carrying value of $130,804,221 restricted by lenders as collateral for borrowing arrangements. Bitcoin restricted by lenders as collateral for borrowing arrangements will remain restricted until the underlying borrowings are repaid (see Note 5 for further discussion of the borrowing arrangements, collateral requirements, and repayment provisions).

The following table summarizes the Company’s digital assets held as of September 30, 2025, and related activity for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The majority of the Company’s assets are concentrated in its Bitcoin holdings, including Bitcoin restricted by lenders for borrowing arrangements. Bitcoin is a digital asset, which is a novel asset class that is subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty. Holding Bitcoin does not generate any cash flows and involves custodial fees and other costs. Additionally, the price of Bitcoin has historically experienced significant price volatility, and a significant decrease in the price of Bitcoin would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s strategy of acquiring and holding Bitcoin also exposes it to counterparty risks with respect to the custody of its Bitcoin, cybersecurity risks, and other risks inherent to holding a digital asset. In particular, the Company is subject to the risk that, if its private keys with respect to its digital assets are lost or destroyed or other similar circumstances or events occur, the Company may lose some or all of its digital assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. To mitigate this risk, the Company is evaluating which custodians it should utilize in order to limit the concentration of holding its digital assets within one or a few custodians. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has two custodians including one holding the majority of the Company’s Bitcoin in an account that is not digitally connected to the internet, also known as cold storage.

The Company also enters into short-term put and call contracts for Bitcoin to generate income on its Bitcoin holdings. As of September 30, 2025, there were no such outstanding contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated income of $287,095 from trading these put and call contracts, which is recorded in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 5 –BORROWINGS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

Credit Facility and Term Loan

On August 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement and related commitment letter (together the “MRA”) with a third party pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to $25 million to fund repurchases by the Company of shares of its common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program, as discussed further in Note 11 below. Upon entry into the MRA the Company paid a commitment fee of $150,000 in connection with the MRA, which the Company has recorded as loan issuances costs and will amortize this amount, plus legal fees associated with the MRA, over the 90 day term of the borrowings. Upon the initial borrowing date, the Company was required to place a minimum of $15,625,000 of Bitcoin in a custody account with an affiliate of the third party, which was required to be retained through the term of the agreement. The interest for all borrowings under the MRA was 11.0% per annum, which was payable monthly. The repayment date could have been extended at the option of the Company by three 30-day periods for a fee of 0.20%, 0.50% and 0.60% for the first, second and third 30-day periods, respectively.

The minimum initial borrowing under the MRA was $3 million and additional minimum borrowings were no less than $1 million. Under the MRA, the Company was required to provide the lender additional Bitcoin as collateral for each borrowing of 250% of the amount borrowed. If the value of Bitcoin held by the lender as collateral decreased below 200% of the aggregate borrowings outstanding, the Company was required to provide additional Bitcoin to increase the value back to 250% of the loans outstanding. If the value of Bitcoin increased to over 300% of the total aggregate outstanding borrowings, the lender was required to return Bitcoin or cash to the Company until the collateral equaled 250% of the aggregate outstanding borrowings. Upon repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the MRA, the third party lender was required to return all Bitcoin held as collateral.

On September 18, 2025, the Company and the third party lender amended the MRA and increased the available borrowings by an additional $10 million which also required the Company to increase the amount of Bitcoin in the custody account to a total of $21,875,000. All other provisions of the MRA remained the same. The Company borrowed the full $35 million available under the MRA, as amended, as of September 22, 2025, and used the proceeds to repurchase its common stock, including any brokerage commissions under the Company’s share repurchase program, as discussed further in Note 11 below.

On September 26, 2025, the Company and the third party lender under the MRA entered into a new Master Repurchase Agreement and related transaction confirmation (together the “Repo Facility”) with a maturity date of August 31, 2026 and providing for $50 million in cash advances to the Company in exchange for purchased securities in the form of Bitcoin. Upon entry into the Repo Facility, the Company paid a commitment fee of $125,000, which was recorded as loan issuance costs which, with legal fees incurred for the Repo Facility, will be amortized through August 31, 2026, the due date for any outstanding borrowings. The interest rate for borrowings under the Repo Facility is 8.5% per annum. The first $35 million borrowed under the Repo Facility was required to be, and was, used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the MRA and there was no early prepayment penalty. In addition, borrowings under the Repo Facility were used to pay accrued interest for borrowings outstanding under the MRA of $165,917, and the $125,000 commitment fee. The remaining proceeds of $14.7 million were deposited into one of the Company’s bank accounts and the Company has used the proceeds to repurchase its common stock, including commissions due to the placement agent, under the Company’s share repurchase program, as discussed further in Note 11 below. The Repo Facility has an early prepayment fee of 2% if repaid within six months of the agreement date and 1% if paid after six months but before August 31, 2026.

The Company recognized a loss on the repayment of the MRA totaling $125,377 for the unamortized issuance costs, which includes the commitment fee and legal fees, as of the repayment date.

Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 7, 2025, the Company entered into an uncommitted revolving credit agreement with a different third party pursuant to which the Company may borrow either in U.S. dollars or digital currency in an aggregate notional amount not to exceed $75 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The interest rate for any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be determined at the time of borrowing. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility can be open loans or term loans as determined at the time of borrowing. Open loans are callable by the lender between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm New York time on any business day in any amount, and the Company will have two days from the call date to repay the amount being called. Open loans can also be prepaid by the Company provided the Company provides notice to the lender between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm New York time on any business day. Term loans will have a maturity date at the inception of a term loan and are not callable by the lender. The Company may prepay a term loan subject to an early prepayment fee equal to 30% of the interest that would have been received by the lender over the term of the loan.

In connection with any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company must place Bitcoin totaling 180% of the aggregate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility into a custody account controlled by the lender. If the value of Bitcoin held by this lender as collateral decreases below 170% of the aggregate borrowings outstanding, the Company will be required to provide additional Bitcoin to increase the value to 180% of the loans outstanding. If the value of Bitcoin increases to over 190% of the total aggregate outstanding borrowings, the lender will be required to return Bitcoin or cash to the Company until the collateral equals 180% of the aggregate outstanding borrowings. In addition, collateral must be returned by the lender upon payment of an outstanding loan.

No borrowings were made by the Company on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Company terminated this agreement on October 29, 2025.

See Note 15 for discussion of an additional loan agreement entered into on October 12, 2025.

**NOTE 6 –NOTES PAYABLE **

In March 2023, the Company entered into a financing arrangement to purchase a vehicle with an interest rate of 11.44% and a monthly payment of $908 until February 2029. The vehicle is collateral for this arrangement.

The following table provides the maturities of notes payable as of September 30, 2025:

NOTE 7 -CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On May 24, 2023, the Company issued Senior Convertible Notes (the “New Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $4,934,783 (debt issuance costs of $586,698) due February 24, 2024 to the same investors who were issued convertible notes in August 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”). The New Notes had an initial conversion price of $3,657,600 per share of common stock, which was adjusted to $1,080,000 upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023. The conversion price was also subject to further adjustment if the Company completed an equity or convertible note offering with a price below $1,080,000, or completed a stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization where the lowest day’s volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock price is below $1,080,000 in the five days following the stock split, with a floor price of $0.22 (subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained on August 3, 2023). The conversion price was also subject to further adjustment if the Company completed an equity or convertible note offering with a price below $1,080,000. The New Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 8.8% and did not bear interest unless an event of default had occurred, upon which interest accrued at 10% per annum.

The holders of the New Notes also received fully vested warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase four shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $1,569,600 per share. The New Warrants expire on August 24, 2027.

Concurrent with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company exchanged the Convertible Notes into two new notes, Series A Notes and Series B Notes both due February 24, 2024 (collectively the “Exchange Notes” and collectively with the New Notes the “May 2023 Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes was $3,690,422 and these were convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1,080,000 per share. The aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes was $23,483,491 and were convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1,569,600 which was adjusted to $1,080,000 upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023.

Events of default for the May 2023 Notes were defined in the note agreements and the Company was in compliance with all covenants until the May 2023 Notes were exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) on March 4, 2024 as discussed below.

The Company recognized interest expense of $314,838 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 for the accretion of the discount and amortization offering costs on the May 2023 Notes.

The Company also exchanged theseven Note Warrants with an exercise price of $4,104,000 per share issued with the Convertible Notes in August 2022 for 12 warrants which had an initial exercise price of $1,569,600 per share (the “Exchange Warrants”) and was adjusted to $1,080,000 per share upon stockholder approval received on August 3, 2023. The Exchange Warrants expire on August 24, 2027.

The conversion prices of the Exchange Notes, and the exercise prices of the New Warrants and Exchange Warrants (collectively the “May 2023 Warrants”) were subject to further adjustment in the event that the Company issues additional common stock, stock options, warrants or convertible notes with prices below the exercise price in effect at the time of issuance, or completes a stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization where the lowest day’s VWAP of the Company’s stock price is below the then exercise price in the five days following the stock split with a floor of $0.22 per share.

In September 2023, the Company and the holders of the Exchange Warrants entered into a warrant inducement agreement whereby the Exchange Warrant holders agreed to exercisetwo Exchange Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $504,000 per share. The Company issued the holders two warrants (“Reload Warrants”) with an initial exercise price of $720,000 per share. The Reload Warrants were immediately exercisable for unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock and have the same terms as the May 2023 Warrants and expire August 24, 2027. As discussed in Note 11 below, the holders of the Exchange and Reload Warrants notified the Company that they were forfeiting these warrants.

The Company recognized a loss on the exchange of the Convertible Notes for Preferred Stock of $1,314,065.

The May 2024 Note Warrants were exercisable beginning November 23, 2024 and expire November 23, 2029.

NOTE 9 -WARRANT LIABILITIES

Series A and Series B Warrants

As discussed in Note 11 below, the Company issued Series A and Series B Warrants (the “November 2023 Warrants”) in connection with the sale of common units and pre-funded warrant units. Under the terms of the November 2023 Warrants, the number and exercise price are subject to adjustment if the Company completes certain transactions specified in these warrant agreements. In addition, the Series A Warrants have a cashless exercise provision, if approved by stockholders, which would allow holders to cashless exercise one warrant for three shares of the Company’s common stock. Such adjustments were subject to stockholder approval (which was received on January 12, 2024). The Company initially determined that these warrants should be classified as liabilities and used a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value until stockholder approval of the cashless exercise provision was completed.

Subsequent to the approval by stockholders of the cashless exercise provision of the Series A Warrant, the fair value of each Series A Warrant is the value of three shares of the Company’s common stock. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $12,733,180 for the change in fair value of the Series A Warrants and the Company reclassified the fair value of Series A Warrants exercised on a cashless basis to stockholders equity in the amount of $17,352,653. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2025 of $7.52, the fair value of each Series A Warrant is $22.56 and based on the total number of warrants outstanding of 4,740, the warrant liability for Series A Warrants is $106,934 at September 30, 2025.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $2,174,673 on the change in fair value of the Series B Warrants and a gain of$165,355 from the exercise of the Series B Warrants. As discussed in Note 11 below, on May 17, 2024, certain terms of the Series B Warrants were amended, including a cashless exercise provision, which resulted in the Series B warrants no longer being liabilities. The fair value of each Series B Warrant is the value of the closing stock price of the Company times 0.81, the cashless exercise exchange ratio. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 17, 2024 of $1,849.60, the fair value of each Series B Warrant is $1,498.16. The fair value of the Series B Warrants of $3,405,662 as of May 17, 2024 was reclassified to equity. As of September 30, 2025,24 Series B Warrants remain outstanding.

The following represents the activity associated with the Series A Warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 to the At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Amendment Sales Agreement”) with Aegis which, among other matters, (i) increases the maximum capacity of the program by $1 billion and (ii) adjusts the fee Aegis will be paid as sales agent to 1% of gross proceeds of sales under the At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement for such additional amount. The Company filed a shelf registration statement to register the shares underlying such agreement on July 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $10,288,062 for the sale of 356,568 shares of common stock through the ATM. No shares were sold under the ATM subsequent to September 30, 2025 through November 10, 2025.

Common Stock Buy Back Programs

On March 21, 2025, the Company’s Board approved a stock buyback program whereby the Company could repurchase up to $2 million of common stock subject to a limitation that at least 500,000 shares of common stock must be outstanding to meet Nasdaq compliance rules. Through September 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased 65,348 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $7.82 per share with cash of $510,907, including commissions paid of $17,045, under the March 2025 stock buyback program.

On July 24, 2025, the Board approved a $100 million common stock repurchase program (increased by the Board to $150 million on October 10, 2025) which terminated the March 2025 buyback program. The authorization is effective through July 24, 2027, subject to extension or earlier termination by the Board at any time. The shares of common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices not to exceed $20 per share, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the common stock, general market and economic conditions and applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares of common stock.

Through September 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased 5,168,818 shares of common stock under the new repurchase program at an average purchase price of $7.53 per share with cash of $38,895,551, including commissions paid of $384,607. For the period from October 1, 2025 to November 10, 2025, the Company has repurchased 5,914,016 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $7.21 per share with cash of $42,640,503, including commissions paid of $403,310. These repurchases were funded from the borrowing agreements discussed in Note 5 above.

The shares repurchased under both buyback programs and cash paid are presented as treasury stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 4, 2024, the Company designated 25,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share and exchanged the remaining May 2023 Notes (principal of $24,694,670) for Preferred Stock. For each $1,000 of May 2023 Note principal, one share of Preferred Stock was issued with a stated value of $1,000, and any principal held by an investor below $1,000 was granted one additional share of Preferred Stock. A total of 24,698 shares were issued in connection with the exchange. The Preferred Stock is initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $8,512 per share. Conversion of Preferred Stock to common stock of the Company by the holders of the Preferred Stock is limited based on ownership restrictions of either 4.99% or 9.99%. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution provisions with an initial floor of $6,272 per share, subject to adjustment to $3,200 per share if stockholder approval was received. The stockholders approved this adjustment at the 2024 annual meeting held on May 28, 2024.

The Preferred Stock conversion price per share is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split based on the lowest 5-day daily VWAP in the five days subsequent to the completion of a stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split completed on June 6, 2024, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock was adjusted to $51.59.

As of December 31, 2024, all of the Preferred Stock (24,698 preferred shares) have been converted for 34,881 shares of common stock.

Warrants

November 2023 Common Units and Pre-Funded Warrant Units

On November 17, 2023, the Company sold (i)12 common units (“Common Units”), each consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock, a Series A warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $158,400 per share or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option (described below), which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series A Warrants”) and a Series B warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $241,920 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series B Warrants” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”); and (ii)138 pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units” and together with the Common Units, the “Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Common Unit was $120,960, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $120,957.12. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. All of the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised by January 9, 2024.

In addition, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional 23 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Public Offering, and/or additional three Series A Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series A Warrants sold in the Public Offering, and/or additional three Series B Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series B Warrants sold in the Public Offering solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to three Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. A total of 56 each of Series A and B Warrants were issued in the transaction.

Series A Warrants

Each Series A Warrant had an initial exercise price per share equal to $158,400, was immediately exercisable upon issuance, and expires on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, or November 17, 2028.

Share Combination Event Adjustments

Conditioned upon the receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval at a required special meeting of stockholders (“Special Meeting”), if at any time on or after the date of issuance there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Company’s common stock (collectively a “Share Event”) and the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days prior to the date of such event and the five consecutive trading days after the date of such event is less than the exercise price then in effect, then the exercise price of the Series A Warrant shall be reduced to the lowest daily VWAP during such period and the number of warrant shares issuable shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price on the date of issuance. Approval of this adjustment by the stockholders was made on January 12, 2024.

Cashless Exercise

If at the time a holder exercises its Series A Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Series A Warrants.

Conditioned upon the receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval at a required Special Meeting, a holder of Series A Warrants may also provide notice and elect an “alternative cashless exercise” pursuant to which they would receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise of the Series A Warrant and (y) 3.0. Approval of this adjustment by the stockholders was made on January 12, 2024.

The number of Series A Warrants were adjusted for the closing of the Private Placements on July 21, 2025, reverse stock split completed on June 11, 2025 and as a result of the February 6, 2025 common stock unit and pre-funded warrant unit offering in accordance with the Share Event provision noted above. As of September 30, 2025,4,740 Series A Warrants remain outstanding.

Series B Warrants

Each Series B Warrant offered had an initial exercise price per share equal to $241,920, was immediately exercisable upon issuance, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, or November 17, 2028.

The number of Series B Warrants and exercise prices were adjusted for the reverse stock split completed on February 2, 2024 and when the Company exchanged the May 2023 Notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the Share Event provisions of the Series B Warrants.

On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into separate warrant amendment agreements (collectively, the “Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the Company’s Series B warrants issued November 2023. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, all outstanding Series B Warrants were amended to delete the following sections: (i) a provision providing for the adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants if the Company completed a future offering at a price per share less the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect; and (ii) a provision providing for the adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants if price of the Company’s common stock after the completion of a share split, share dividend, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction is less the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect. In addition, the Warrant Amendment provides that the holders may also exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis and receive an aggregate number of shares equal the product of the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants by means of a cashless exercise rather than a cash exercise, multiplied by 0.81.

On May 17, 2024, after giving effect to the Warrant Amendment, the Company and certain holders of Series B Warrants agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,153 shares of common stock (the “Holders”) entered into separate exchange agreements (the “Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange the Series B Warrants held by the Holders for shares of Company common stock (or, at the option of the Holder, pre-funded warrants) at a ratio of 0.81 shares of Company common stock (or, at the option of the Holder, pre-funded warrants) for each whole Series B Warrant. A total of 1,148 pre-funded warrants with an exercise price of$0.008 and 597 shares of common stock were issued to the Holders.

As of September 30, 2025,24 Series B Warrants remain outstanding and all of the pre-funded warrants were fully exercised in 2024.

Other Warrants

As discussed in Note 10 above, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 901,542 shares of common stock to Gemini or its designees (the “Gemini Warrants”) with an exercise price of $10 per share and a 10-year term. The Gemini Warrants began vesting and become exercisable on July 21, 2025 in accordance with the Applicable Vesting Schedule. Based on the highest VWAP of the Company’s common stock from July 21, 2025,360,618 warrants have vested as of September 30, 2025.

The Company issued 163,929 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to the placement agents of the Private Placements (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) with an exercise price of $10 per share and afive-year term. The Placement Agents Warrants began vesting and become exercisable on July 21, 2025 based on the Applicable Vesting Schedule. Based on the highest VWAP of the Company’s common stock since July 21, 2025,65,573 warrants have vested as of September 30, 2025.

The Company has determined that the Gemini Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants should be classified as equity. Since the first 20% of these warrants vest if the Company’s daily VWAP is $10 and the Private Placements priced at $10, the Company concluded that the first tranche was certain to vest at the time of grant, which was the same day the Purchase Agreements were executed by investors for the Private Placements and used a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Since the daily VWAP beyond $10 was uncertain, the Company used Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the value of the remaining tranches of these warrants.

The following assumptions were used in the Black Scholes option pricing models and Monte Carlo simulations:

Based on the above inputs, the following fair values and derived service periods were calculated:

The Company’s highest VWAP in the period from July 21, 2025 to September 30, 2025 was $18.77. Therefore the first two tranches vested and the Company recognized all of the expense for these tranches as of September 30, 2025. The Company recognized expense on the remaining unvested tranches based on the derived service periods and number of days vesting in the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company recognized total expense of $924,226 for the Placement Agent Warrants and recorded this as offering costs related to the Private Placements. The Company recognized total expense of $5,432,230 in general and administrative expense for the Gemini warrants. Remaining expense to be recognized for the Placement Agent Warrants and Gemini Warrants are $554,413 and $3,406,487, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining derived service periods for each tranche unless the daily VWAP exceeds the vesting price for the tranche, in which case the expense will be recognized immediately.

In addition, concurrent with the closing of the Private Placements, the Company issued fully vested warrants to a consultant to purchase up to 25,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10 per share of common stock and aten-year term. The Company valued these warrants usinga Black-Scholes option pricing model using the same ten-year inputs noted above. The Company recognized expense of $249,413 in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company issued the Note Warrants, which were fully vested, to purchase seven shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $4,104,000. The Note Warrants expire August 24, 2027. Also, the Company issued to the placement agent of the Convertible Notes, fully vested warrants to purchaseone share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5,130,000. The warrants were not exercisable until February 24, 2023 and expire on February 24, 2028. The Company valued all of these warrants using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 24, 2022 of $3,513,600, volatility of 79.81% based on peer companies, risk free interest rate of 3.03%, no dividends and an estimated life of 2.5 years.

In May 2023, all of the Note Warrants to purchase seven shares of the Company’s common stock were exchanged for Exchange Warrants to purchase 12 shares of the Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price of $1,569,600 per share (which was adjusted to $1,080,000 per share upon stockholder approval which was received on August 3, 2023). The Exchange Warrants expire August 24, 2027. In 2023 and 2024 certain holders of the Exchange Warrants exercised warrants to purchase four shares of the Company’s common stock. On November 8, 2024, holders of the remaining warrants to purchase eight shares of the Company’s common stock notified the Company that they were forfeiting these warrants.

Also in May 2023, in connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the Company also issued New Warrants (together with the Exchange Warrants the “May 2023 Warrants”) to purchase four shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1,569,600 (which was adjusted to $1,080,000 per share upon stockholder approval which was received on August 3, 2023). Subsequent to the adjustment of the exercise price for the reverse splits and issuance of Preferred Stock discussed above, on November 8, 2024 the holder of these warrants notified the Company that it was forfeiting these warrants.

As noted below, two of the Exchange Warrants were exercised at a price of $504,000 per share and two Reload Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $720,000 per share. In October 2023, the Reload warrant exercise price was reduced to $394,272. The Reload warrants expire August 24, 2027. Subsequent to the adjustment of the exercise price for the reverse splits and issuance of Preferred Stock discussed above, on November 8, 2024 the holder of these warrants notified the Company that it was forfeiting these warrants.

Warrant Inducements

As discussed in Note 7, the Company issued the May 2024 Note Warrants on May 22, 2024, which are fully vested, to purchase 1,589 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1,856. The Note Warrants were initially exercisable on November 23, 2024 and expire on November 23, 2029. The Company valued these warrants using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 22, 2024 of $1,408, volatility of 155% the Company’s historical volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.47%, no dividends and a life of 5.5 years.

The following is the activity related to pre-funded common stock warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

The following is the activity related to all common stock warrants, excluding pre-funded warrants, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

NOTE 12 –STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2025 Stock Plan

As discussed in Note 10, in conjunction with the digital asset treasury strategy and Private Placements, on July 16, 2025, the Company’s Board adopted the 2025 Stock Plan (the”2025 Plan”) and granted stock options to certain employees, Board members and a consultant. A total of 5,681,381 stock options were granted to purchase the Company’s common stock at $10 per share with aten-year term, regardless of service being provided and only forfeitable in the event employment is terminated for cause as defined in the stock option agreement. These stock options vest based on the Applicable Vesting Schedule. The Company’s highest VWAP in the period from July 17, 2025 to September 30, 2025 was $29.86,and accordingly the first four tranches vested. Since these stock options are not exercisable until the 2025 Stock Plan and shares to be issued under the 2025 Stock Plan are approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company has not recorded any share-based compensation expense for these stock options as there is no measurement date since stockholder approval is uncertain. Once stockholder approval is obtained, the Company will value these options and recognize share-based compensation for any vested awards and any unvested awards based on the derived service period.

Inducement Stock Options

Also in connection with the Private Placements, the Board approved 1,045,807 inducement stock option grants to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $10 to two executives (see Note 10 above) and one employee. These stock options have aten-year term regardless of continued employment with the Company, provided that the employee is not terminated for cause. These stock options vest based on the Applicable Vesting Schedule. The Company used a Black Scholes option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulation to value these stock options consistent with the Placement Agent Warrants (see Note 11) since the Company determined the expected life of these options is approximately 5 years. Based on the highest VWAP of the Company’s common stock since the Private Placements,836,648 stock options have vested as of September 30, 2025. The Company recognized total expense of $8,072,716 in general and administrative expense for these inducement stock options and the remaining expense to be recognized is $1,362,555 which will be recognized over the remaining derived service period of approximately six months.

In August 2024, as part of the compensation package for the Company’s Chief Sales Officer (“CSO”), the Company granted 782 stock options outside of the 2021 Plan with an exercise price of $104.32. In June 2025, the Company cancelled these stock options and paid $4,252 to the CSO. The Company recognized a net benefit of $30,932 for the share-based compensation expense previously recognized on the unvested stock options less the cash paid.

2021 Stock Plan

In January 2021, the Company’s Board adopted the Volcon, Inc. 2021 Stock Plan, (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan is a stock-based compensation plan that provides for discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards, and restricted stock unit awards to employees, members of the Board and consultants (including restricted stock units issued prior to the adoption of the plan as further discussed below). The Company has reserved five shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 2021 Plan. To the extent that an award, if forfeitable, expires, terminates or lapses, or an award is otherwise settled in cash without the delivery of shares of common stock to the participant, then any unpaid shares subject to the award will be available for future grant or issuance under the 2021 Plan. There areno shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan as of September 30, 2025. Awards vest according to each agreement and as long as the employee remains employed with the Company or the consultant continues to provide services in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Other

As discussed in Note 10 above, fully vested stock options were granted to one of the Company’s Co-CEOs and CFO to purchase a total of 252,525 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.56 per share. The Company recognized share-based compensation of $1,125,802 related to these stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On July 17, 2025, the Co-CEO and CFO amended these stock options to reset the exercise price to $10 per share. There was no impact to share-based compensation for this modification as the fair value immediately after the modification was less than the fair value immediately before the modification.

The following summarizes activity relating to common stock options to employees and consultants, which excludes the options granted under the 2025 Stock Plan noted above, for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Total stock-based compensation recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 for all stock-based compensation awards, has been recorded as follows:

NOTE 13 –LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of common shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted net loss per common share is equal to basic net loss per share due to the Company’s net loss and any potentially issuable shares are anti-dilutive.

As discussed in Note 2 above, the Company received notice from DTCC on behalf of the brokerage firms that hold the shares of Company common stock held in “street name” that in connection with the foregoing rounding of shares the Company would need to issue 23,617 shares of common stock which were issued on May 5, 2025. If these shares had been issued as of November 19, 2024 when notice from DTCC was received, the amounts for basic and diluted netloss per common share for nine months ended September 30, 2025 would be as follows:

Common shares consisting of shares potentially dilutive as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

NOTE 14 –INCOME TAXES

Due to losses since inception and for all periods presented, no income tax benefit or expense has been recognized as a full valuation allowance has been established for any tax benefit that would have been recognized for the loss in any period presented.

The Company has recorded no liability for income taxes associated with unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption and has not recorded any liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any interest or penalty in regard to any unrecognized benefit.

NOTE 15-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “MLA”) with a lender toobtain additional capital in the form of delayed draw term loans, the proceeds of which shall be applied towards share repurchases by the Company. Under the MLA, the Company may borrow, in one or more draws of minimum increments of $5 million, an aggregate principal amount ofup to $100 million, through October 9, 2026 (subject to the extension referenced below), at which date, all such loans, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and related obligations, shall become due and payable in their entirety. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to extend thedue date of all such loans for one additional year, to October 9, 2027 and the Company exercised this option on October 29, 2025. Further, the MLA was not subject to any commitment fees and borrowings can be repaid early without any prepayment penalty or premium. The interest rate applicable to all outstanding loans will be 6.50% per annum payable monthly. The Company must initially provide the Lender with BTC equal to 250% of any amount borrowed as collateral, which is subject to addi tional margin calls or return of collateral based on the change in BTC’s price over the term of the outstanding loans. As of November 10, 2025, the Company has taken draw term loans totaling $30 million.

On October 15, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Venom EV, LLC (“Venom”), to divest the Volcon brand in exchange for a non-dilutable 10% equity position in Venom’s reorganized Delaware corporation on a fully-diluted basis. The Company transferred all Volcon intellectual property, brand assets, trademarks, sales and distribution networks and engineering documentation associated with the Volcon brand (the “IP”) other than its E-Bike, the Brat. The Company will have the right to appoint one director to Venom’s board and may continue to finance Venom’s inventory purchases. In the event that Venom does not complete its corporate reorganization within six months, the Company will have the option to repurchase the IP for a nominal amount.

The Company expects that this agreement will reduce Empery Digital’s future product liability exposure by transferring ownership of Volcon’s four-wheel vehicle business to Venom. Following this divestiture, the Company will concentrate on its two-wheel business, including the launch of new products in European markets and homologation of the Brat in Japan. The Company also plans to expand its vehicle financing operations to generate positive cash flow by leveraging the spread between the Company’s cost of capital and interest income from vehicle financing.
