3. Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis
The Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, in accordance with ASC 205-40. Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s obligations due within twelve months after the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $166 thousand, an accumulated deficit of $339.2 million, $4,118 thousand of Bitcoin measured at fair value, $5,050 thousand of convertible debenture principal outstanding and $5,049 thousand of convertible notes payable, net, including bifurcated embedded conversion derivative liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a loss from continuing operations of $3,335 thousand and a net loss of $5,792 thousand. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and historically negative cash flows from operations since inception, primarily attributable to Sono Motors GmbH. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, management completed financing transactions and strategic actions related to the Company’s transition to the Treasury Strategy and its exit from legacy solar operations. The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.1 million through the issuance of three secured convertible debentures to Yorkville on January 26, 2026, February 19, 2026 and March 10, 2026, respectively, in the aggregate principal amount of $4.35 million (the “Q1 2026 Debentures”), the issuance to Yorkville on March 10, 2026 of a pre-funded warrant for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million, and the issuance to Yorkville on April 28, 2026 of an additional secured convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $700 thousand (the “April 2026 Debenture”). A substantial portion of these proceeds was used to implement the Treasury Strategy, including the acquisition of Bitcoin and the establishment of the Company’s institutional framework with Blockchain.com under the ISDA Master Agreement and the related Schedule and Credit Support Annex. Management also terminated all current and future funding commitments to Sono Motors GmbH and completed the Company’s exit from the legacy solar operations through the execution and consummation of the SPA pursuant to which Sono Motors GmbH was sold on May 4, 2026, as further described in Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale). These actions are relevant to management’s liquidity plans but did not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management considered the financing transactions, implementation of the Treasury Strategy and exit from legacy solar operations in its liquidity analysis. Although these actions may reduce certain cash outflows and provide additional potential liquidity sources, the Company continues to depend on monetization of digital asset holdings, performance of the Treasury Strategy and availability of external financing, and management did not conclude that substantial doubt was alleviated.
Management’s plans to address these conditions include obtaining additional financing through further issuances of debt and equity securities, including pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement, sales of a portion of the Company’s Bitcoin holdings, and premium income generated from writing covered call options pursuant to the Treasury Strategy. The Company’s Bitcoin holdings serve as collateral for outstanding written covered call options, which are written on a weekly basis, and are available for sale upon expiration of the applicable options. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that sales of digital assets, at then-prevailing prices, together with premium income, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur professional fees and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described in Note 16 (Subsequent Events), the completion of which is not assured.
The Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity remains subject to significant uncertainties, including the price volatility and liquidity characteristics of digital assets, the terms and potential collateral requirements of transactions entered into in connection with the Treasury Strategy pursuant to the Credit Support Annex described in Note 5 (Digital Assets) and Note 6 (Written Covered Bitcoin Call Options), and the maturities of the convertible debentures issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which mature in 2027 and may require refinancing or conversion prior to or at maturity. Based upon this uncertainty, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern.
