1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring and developing undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact. Through its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, the Company owns and/or operates data centers at which it mines Bitcoin and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence (“AI”) ecosystems and other industries, and provides products and services that support a diverse range of industries, including crane rental services, hotel operations, defense, industrial, an AI software platform and a social gaming platform. In addition, the Company extends credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through a licensed lending subsidiary.
The Company has the following reportable segments:
• | Energy and Infrastructure (“Energy”) – crane operations; |
• | Technology and Finance (“Fintech”) – commercial lending, activist investing, and stock trading; |
• | Sentinum, Inc. (“Sentinum”) – crypto assets mining operations and colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial intelligence ecosystems and other industries; |
• | TurnOnGreen – commercial electronics solutions; |
• | ROI – AI software platform and a social gaming platform; and |
• | Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“AGREE”) – hotel operations and other commercial real estate holdings. |
2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As
of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and that contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
In making this assessment management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow and cash usage forecasts, as well as obligations and debts. Although management has a long history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability as a going concern does not include cash sources beyond the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.
Management expects that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and marketable securities as of March 31, 2025, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Management anticipates raising additional capital through the private and public sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities and selling its crypto assets, or a combination thereof. Although management believes that such capital sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not raise sufficient capital in a timely manner, among other things, the Company may be forced to curtail or cease its operations altogether.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited 2024 financial statements contained in the above referenced 2024 Annual Report. Results of the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
Prior Period Revision - Statement of Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company disclosed the borrowings of lines of credit and repayments of lines of credit as separate line items within notes payable activity of the financing activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has corrected these line items for the three months ended March 31, 2024 for comparability purposes.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation, including the discontinued operations presentation of Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“GIGA”) and AGREE financial results. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement may affect the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes an analysis to determine any required changes to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
On December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separated by federal and individual jurisdiction, and the amount of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-09 as required for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new requirement for its income tax disclosure.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures of certain expenses in the notes of the financial statements, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.

4. DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARIES AND GIGA DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Deconsolidation of Avalanche International Corp. (“AVLP”)
On
March 28, 2025, AVLP, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, AVLP became subject to the control of the bankruptcy court, and the Company no longer maintained
a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated AVLP effective as of the petition date. In connection with the
deconsolidation, the Company recognized a gain of $
Presentation of GIGA as Discontinued Operations
On August 14, 2024, GIGA filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws. The filing placed GIGA under the control of the bankruptcy court, which oversees its reorganization and restructuring process. The Company assessed the inherent uncertainties associated with the outcome of the Chapter 11 reorganization process and the anticipated duration thereof, and concluded that it was appropriate to deconsolidate GIGA and its subsidiaries effective on the petition date.
In connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization process, the Company concluded that the operations of GIGA met the criteria for discontinued operations as this strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities and liquidity risks.
The changes in Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Embedded Derivatives
The Company identified embedded derivative features within certain convertible promissory notes issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that required bifurcation and separate accounting as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. Specifically, the embedded conversion options associated with the Orchid convertible promissory notes and the SJC convertible promissory note were determined to meet the criteria for derivative classification.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model incorporates key assumptions including the Company’s stock price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, credit-risk adjusted discount rate, and the specific terms of each conversion feature (including floor price, cap, and VWAP-based pricing). Due to the significant use of unobservable inputs, these derivative liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the key inputs used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives at inception:
Assumption | Orchid Note (March 14, 2025) | SJC Note (March 21, 2025) | ||
Valuation technique | Monte Carlo Simulation | Monte Carlo Simulation | ||
Risk-free interest rate | ||||
Expected volatility | ||||
Credit-risk adjusted rate | ||||
Time to maturity (years) | ||||
Stock price at valuation date | $ | $ | ||
Dividend yield |
The Monte Carlo simulation utilized 100,000 iterations and incorporated conversion mechanics, including the floor price and the VWAP-based conversion price as defined in each agreement. The incremental value attributable to the conversion feature was isolated to determine its impact on the overall fair value of the embedded option.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities at inception and as of March 31, 2025 was as follows:
· | Orchid Note: $1.0 million; and |
· | SJC Note: $1.3 million. |
Loss on Extinguishment of Convertible Notes
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a total net loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $4.6 million. This amount includes:
· | A gain of $0.3 million resulting from the conversion of $0.7 million of convertible notes into 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock, which had a fair value of $0.4 million at the time of conversion; |
· | A loss of $2.6 million related to the issuance of the A&R Forbearance Note. The A&R Forbearance Note, with a principal amount of $3.5 million, was determined to be substantially different from the original note due to significant changes in terms, including the addition of a conversion feature and increased principal amount. As such, extinguishment accounting was applied, and a loss was recognized based on the difference between the value of the A&R Forbearance Note and the net carrying amount of the original note; |
F-19 |
· | A loss of $1.0 million related to the Orchid convertible promissory note issued on March 14, 2025. Although the principal amount of the new note equaled the aggregate principal and accrued interest of the notes exchanged, the fair value of the new note, including the embedded derivative liability, exceeded the carrying amount of the original notes. As a result, a loss on extinguishment of $1.0 million was recognized; and |
· | A loss of $1.3 million related to the SJC convertible promissory note issued on March 21, 2025. Although the principal of the new note matched the principal and accrued interest of the exchanged notes, the combined fair value of the new note and its embedded derivative exceeded the carrying amount of the original instruments. Accordingly, a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment was recognized. |

Contingencies
Litigation Matters
The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.
Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.
Arena Litigation

In connection with this cause of action, Arena seeks, among other things, costs and expenses from the Company and ROI.
On July 31, 2024, the Company and ROI filed a motion to dismiss seeking to partially dismiss the ROI Complaint, as against the Company, and to dismiss the ROI Compliant, in its entirety, as against ROI.
On or about January 21, 2025, the Court entered an order denying the part of the motion which sought partial dismissal of the ROI Complaint, as against Company, and granting the part of the motion which sought dismissal of the ROI Complaint, in its entirety, as against ROI.
On February 18, 2025, the Company filed an Answer to the ROI Complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.
F-20 |
Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action. Notwithstanding, the Company has recorded the unpaid portion of the notes. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Other Litigation Matters
With respect to the Company’s other outstanding matters, based on the Company’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

Presentation of GIGA as Discontinued Operations
On August 14, 2024, our majority owned subsidiary, Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“GIGA”), filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws. The filing placed GIGA under the control of the bankruptcy court, which oversees its reorganization and restructuring process. We assessed the inherent uncertainties associated with the outcome of the Chapter 11 reorganization process and the anticipated duration thereof, and concluded that it was appropriate to deconsolidate GIGA and its subsidiaries effective on the petition date. We recognized a gain on deconsolidation of GIGA of $2.0 million included in net gain (loss) from discontinued operations.
In connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization process, we concluded that the operations of GIGA met the criteria for discontinued operations as this strategic shift that will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results. As a result, we have presented the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of GIGA as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes for all periods presented.

Change in Plan of Sales of AGREE Hotel Properties
On April 30, 2024, we had a change in plan of sale for our four hotels owned and operated by AGREE.

For presentation purposes, the assets and liabilities previously held for sale as of December 31, 2023, were reclassified in the December 31, 2023 balance sheet in the accompanying financial statements back to their original asset and liability groups at their previous carrying values. In connection with this change in plan of sale, we recorded a loss on impairment of property and equipment related to the real estate assets of AGREE of $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On March 28, 2025, AVLP, a majority-owned subsidiary of our, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, AVLP became subject to the control of the bankruptcy court, and we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, we deconsolidated AVLP effective as of the petition date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recognized a gain of $10.0 million, which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We evaluated the criteria for discontinued operations and determined that the operations of AVLP did not meet the requirements for such classification.
General
As a holding company, our business objective is to increase stockholder value through developing and growing our subsidiaries. Under the strategy we have adopted, we are focused on managing and financially supporting our existing subsidiaries and partner companies, with the goal of pursuing monetization opportunities and maximizing the value returned to stockholders. We have, are and will consider initiatives including, among others: public offerings, the sale of individual partner companies, the sale of certain or all partner company interests in secondary market transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize stockholder value. We anticipate returning value to stockholders after satisfying our debt obligations and working capital needs.
From time to time, we engage in discussions with other companies interested in our subsidiaries or partner companies, either in response to inquiries or as part of a process we initiate. To the extent we believe that a subsidiary or partner company’s further growth and development can best be supported by a different ownership structure or if we otherwise believe it is in our stockholders’ best interests, we will seek to sell all or a portion of our position in the subsidiary or partner company. These sales may take the form of privately negotiated sales of stock or assets, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings of the subsidiary or partner company’s securities and, in the case of publicly traded partner companies, sales of their securities in the open market. Our plans may include taking subsidiaries or partner companies public through rights offerings and directed share subscription programs. We will continue to consider these (or similar) initiatives and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in secondary market transactions to maximize value for our stockholders.
In recent years, we have provided capital and relevant expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense, industrial and hotel operations. We have provided capital to subsidiaries as well as partner companies in which we have an equity interest or may be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support.

Sentinum
Revenues from Sentinum’s crypto assets mining operations decreased $6.2 million to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to a $3.7 million decline in revenue from mined crypto assets at Sentinum owned and operated facilities coupled with a $2.6 million decline in revenue from Sentinum crypto mining equipment hosted at third-party facilities. The $5.2 million decrease in revenue from mined crypto assets at Sentinum owned and operated facilities was due to the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event that occurred on the Bitcoin network and a 42% increase in the average Bitcoin mining difficulty level, partially offset by a 74% increase in the average Bitcoin price for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
Energy
Energy revenues from Circle 8’s crane operations increased by $0.9 million, or 7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by reduced pricing pressure and improved utilization of the crane fleet relative to the prior-year period.
Fintech
Revenues from our lending and trading activities decreased $9.1 million to approximately $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. On February 14, 2024, RiskOn International, Inc. (“ROI”) transferred 2.5 million shares of White River Energy Corp. (“White River”) common stock with a recorded value of $0.5 million and a fair value of $7.5 million at the date of transfer to Ault Lending, LLC (“Ault Lending”). As of March 31, 2024, the 2.5 million shares of White River common stock held by Ault Lending had a fair value of $9.4 million and Ault Lending recorded an unrealized gain of $8.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included in revenue from lending and trading activities.
Revenues from our trading activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included net gains on equity securities, including unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in our periodic earnings.
TurnOnGreen
TurnOnGreen’s revenues increased by $0.4 million, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.2 million in the corresponding period in 2024. This rise was primarily due to higher sales from a single customer in the defense industry during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
5 |
Other
Other revenues increased by $0.5 million, to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.3 million in the corresponding period in 2024. This rise was primarily due to higher corporate aircraft charter revenue from third parties.
Gross Margins
Gross margins declined to 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 47% for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the performance of our lending and trading activities, which negatively impacted gross margins in the current period but contributed favorably in the prior-year period. In both periods, gross margins were further pressured by low or negative gross margin contributions from our crypto asset mining operations. Excluding the impact of lending and trading activities as well as crypto asset mining, adjusted gross margins were 36% and 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses remained consistent at $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 42%. The decrease was primarily the result of a $1.6 million decrease in sales and marketing expenses at ROI from lower advertising and promotion costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 11% primarily due to lower professional fees, lower stock compensation and lower salaries and benefits expense.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other expense, net of $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Interest and other income totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest expense was $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included contractual interest of $3.8 million, amortization of debt discount of $0.1 million and forbearance and extension fees of $12,000. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included amortization of debt discount of $2.1 million, contractual interest of $2.0 million and forbearance and extension fees of $1.5 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a noncash gain of $17.9 million related to the conversion of White River common stock by ROI into marketable equity securities. During the period, ROI transferred 6.7 million shares of White River common stock with a fair value of $19.2 million at the date of transfer. In connection with these transfers, ROI converted a portion of its White River Series A convertible preferred stock into common stock. No such gains were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a total net loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $4.6 million. This amount includes:
· | A gain of $0.3 million resulting from the conversion of $0.7 million of convertible notes into 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock, which had a fair value of $0.4 million at the time of conversion; |
· | A loss of $2.6 million related to the issuance of the A&R Forbearance Note. The A&R Forbearance Note, with a principal amount of $3.5 million, was determined to be substantially different from the original note due to significant changes in terms, including the addition of a conversion feature and increased principal amount. As such, extinguishment accounting was applied, and a loss was recognized based on the difference between the value of the A&R Forbearance Note and the net carrying amount of the original note; |
6 |
· | A loss of $1.0 million related to the Orchid convertible promissory note issued on March 14, 2025. Although the principal amount of the new note equaled the aggregate principal and accrued interest of the notes exchanged, the fair value of the new note, including the embedded derivative liability, exceeded the carrying amount of the original notes. As a result, a loss on extinguishment of $1.0 million was recognized; and |
· | A loss of $1.3 million related to the SJC convertible promissory note issued on March 21, 2025. Although the principal of the new note matched the principal and accrued interest of the exchanged notes, the combined fair value of the new note and its embedded derivative exceeded the carrying amount of the original instruments. Accordingly, a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment was recognized. |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, ROI investors converted $2.3 million of ROI senior secured convertible notes with a fair value of $0.9 million at the time of conversion. As a result, ROI recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt.
Loss from investment in unconsolidated entity was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing our share of losses from our equity method investment in Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.
On March 28, 2025, AVLP, a majority-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the filing, AVLP became subject to the control of the bankruptcy court, and we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, we deconsolidated AVLP effective as of the petition date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recognized a gain of $10.0 million, which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $3.1 million loan loss reserve related to the promissory note from Ault & Company, Inc. (“Ault & Company”), due to uncertainties surrounding collection. The reserve was recorded within provision for loan losses – related party.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 1.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 0.0% for the same period in 2024. We recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and recognized an income tax benefit of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million, excluding restricted cash of $20.4 million, compared to $4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $20.5 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by cash used in operating activities, debt repayments, and purchases of property and equipment. These outflows were partially offset by cash inflows from financing activities, including the sale of preferred stock and proceeds from notes payable and convertible notes.
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $5.2 million proceeds from the sale of crypto assets from our Sentinum crypto assets mining operations, offset by operating losses and changes in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $0.6 million cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash used investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included capital expenditures of $2.8 million partially offset by proceeds from collections on notes receivable, related party of $1.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $1.4 million cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and primarily reflects the following transactions:
· | $17.9 million gross proceeds from notes payable, offset by $13.8 million payments on notes payable; |
· | $1.9 million gross proceeds from sales of Series D preferred stock; |
7 |
· | $1.9 million payments of preferred dividends; |
· | $0.9 million gross proceeds from sales of Series G preferred stock, related party; and |
· | $0.3 million payments on convertible notes payable. |
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $0.5 million cash used in financing activities from discontinued operations.
Financing Transactions Subsequent to March 31, 2025

The April 2025 Note will mature on September 30, 2025. The April 2025 Note is convertible into shares of our class A common stock at any time after NYSE approval of the SLAP at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.40 per share, which shall not be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) the lesser of 75% of the VWAP (as defined in the April 2025 Note) of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the closing date or the date of conversion.

April 15, 2025 Convertible Promissory Notes
On April 15, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Agreements”) with institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we issued to the Investors convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal face amount of $5.0 million (the “Notes”) in aggregate gross consideration of $4.0 million in cash paid by the Investors to us, prior to placement agent fees and expenses of approximately $0.5 million (the “Transaction”).
The Notes have an aggregate principal face amount of $5.0 million and were issued with an original issue discount of 20%, or $1.0 million. The Notes do not accrue interest unless an event of default at which time the Notes would accrue interest at 20% per annum. The Notes will mature on September 30, 2025. The Notes are convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s class A common stock at any time after NYSE American approval of the supplemental listing application at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.40 per share (the “Floor Price”), which Floor Price shall not be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) 80% of the lowest closing price of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion into shares of Class A common stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon our evaluation, each of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report because the Company has not yet completed its remediation of the material weakness previously identified and disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the end of its most recent fiscal year.
Management has identified the following material weaknesses:
1. | We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting department, which restricts our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting, including applying complex accounting principles relating to consolidation accounting, related party transactions, fair value estimates, accounting contingencies and analysis of financial instruments for proper classification in the consolidated financial statements, in a timely manner; |
2. | Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties during our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness; |
3. | Our primary user access controls (i.e., provisioning, de-provisioning, privileged access and user access reviews) to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented effectively. We did not design and/or implement sufficient controls for program change management to certain financially relevant systems affecting our processes; and |
4. | The Company did not design and/or implement user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties or program change management controls for certain financially relevant systems impacting the Company’s processes around revenue recognition and crypto assets to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s (i) financial IT applications, (ii) crypto assets mining equipment, and (iii) underlying accounting records, are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) were complete and accurate. Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency. In addition, the Company has not effectively designed a manual key control to detect material misstatements in revenue. |
9 |
Planned Remediation
Management continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses, specifically relating to user access and change management surrounding our IT systems and applications. Management will continue to implement measures to remediate material weaknesses, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) enhancing design and documentation related to both user access and change management processes and control activities; and (ii) developing and communicating additional policies and procedures to govern the area of IT change management. In order to achieve the timely implementation of the above, management has commenced the following actions and will continue to assess additional opportunities for remediation on an ongoing basis:
· | Engaging a third-party specialist to assist management with improving the Company’s overall control environment, focusing on change management and access controls; |
· | Implementing new applications and systems that are aligned with management’s focus on creating strong internal controls; and |
· | Continuing to increase headcount across the Company, with a particular focus on hiring individuals with strong Sarbanes Oxley and internal control backgrounds. |
We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the period covered by this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Except as detailed above, during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Litigation Matters
The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. We are regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.
Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the reasonably possible loss. We evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.
Arena Litigation
Arena Investors, LP (ROI Litigation)
On May 30, 2024, Arena Investors, LP (“Arena”), in its capacity as collateral agent for five noteholders, filed a Complaint (the “ROI Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against the Company and ROI, in action captioned Arena Investors, LP v. Ault Alliance, Inc. and RiskOn International, Inc., Index No. 652792/2024.
The ROI Complaint asserts a cause of action for breach of contract against the Company based on a Guaranty, dated April 27, 2023, and entered into, amongst others, the Company and Arena, and seeks damages in the amount of in excess of $3.75 million, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements.
The ROI Complaint also asserts a cause of action for breach of contract against ROI based on an alleged breach of that certain Security Agreement, dated April 27, 2023, and entered into among ROI and Arena. In connection with this cause of action, Arena seeks, among other things, costs and expenses from the Company and ROI.
On July 31, 2024, the Company and ROI filed a motion to dismiss seeking to partially dismiss the ROI Complaint, as against the Company, and to dismiss the ROI Compliant, in its entirety, as against ROI.
On or about January 21, 2025, the Court entered an order denying the part of the motion which sought partial dismissal of the ROI Complaint, as against Company, and granting the part of the motion which sought dismissal of the ROI Complaint, in its entirety, as against ROI.
On February 18, 2025, the Company filed an Answer to the ROI Complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.
Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action. Notwithstanding, the Company has recorded the unpaid portion of the notes. An unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Other Litigation Matters
With respect to our other outstanding matters, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
