Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words
such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “goals,” “plans,”
“believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “may,” “will,”
“would,” “should,” “could,” and variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections
of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and
trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and
other characterizations of future events or circumstances are
forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on
management’s expectations as of the date of this filing and involve
many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied in our
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include
those described throughout this report and our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, particularly the
“Risk Factors” sections of such reports. Given these risks and
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements. Readers are urged to carefully
review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q
and in other documents we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that disclose risks and
uncertainties that may affect our business. The forward-looking
statements in this Form 10-Q do not reflect the potential impact of
any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business
combinations that had not been completed as of the date of
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the
forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the
date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly
disclaim any duty to update such statements, whether as a result of
new information, new developments or otherwise, except to the
extent that disclosure may be required by law.

1. DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
BitNile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BitNile” or the
“Company”) was incorporated in September 2017. BitNile is a
diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring
undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global
impact. Through its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries and
strategic investments, the Company owns and operates a data center
at which it mines Bitcoin, and provides mission-critical products
that support a diverse range of industries, including
defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, telecommunications,
medical/biopharma, hotel operations and textiles. In addition, the
Company extends credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through
a licensed lending subsidiary. BitNile was founded by Milton “Todd”
Ault, III, its Executive Chairman and is led by Mr. Ault, William
B. Horne, its Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman and Henry
Nisser, its President and General Counsel. Together, they
constitute the Executive Committee, which manages the day-to-day
operations of the Company. All major investment and capital
allocation decisions are made for the Company by Mr. Ault and the
Executive Committee. The Company has six reportable segments:
|
· |
BitNile, Inc. (“BNI”) –
cryptocurrency mining operations, |
|
· |
Ault Alliance, Inc. (“Ault
Alliance”) – commercial lending, activist investing, media, and
digital learning, |
|
· |
Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“GWW”) –
defense solutions, |
|
· |
TurnOnGreen, Inc. (“TurnOnGreen”) –
commercial electronics solutions, |
|
· |
Real Estate – hotel operations and
other commercial real estate holdings, and |
|
· |
Ault Disruptive Technologies
Corporation (“Ault Disruptive”) – a special purpose acquisition
company (“SPAC”). |
2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
As of March 31, 2022, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39.4 million and
working capital of $55.6 million. The Company has
primarily financed its operations principally through issuances of
convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. The
Company believes its current cash on hand is sufficient to meet its
operating and capital requirements for at least the next twelve
months from the date these financial statements are
issued.
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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) on April 15, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited 2021
financial statements contained in the above referenced Form 10-K.
Results of the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year ending December 31, 2022.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant
accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2021
Annual Report.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative
purposes to conform to the current-period financial statement
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously
reported results of operations.
Recent Accounting
Standards
In May 2021, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, “Earnings Per
Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic
470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and
Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or
Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options.”
The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2022.
The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2022, and has
concluded the adoption did not have a material impact on its
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”) to improve
information on credit losses for financial assets and net
investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value
through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss
impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected
credit losses. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning
on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does
not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a
significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion
and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40)-Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an
Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”). The ASU simplifies accounting
for convertible instruments by removing major separation models
required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt
instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with
no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU
2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for
equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception,
which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. ASU
2020-06 also simplifies the diluted net income per share
calculation in certain areas. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are
effective for smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Effective January 1, 2022, the
Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective
approach, which resulted in no impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business
Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and
Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires
contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business
combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the
acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers.” The guidance will result in the acquirer
recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same
amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance should be applied
prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective
date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods,
for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The
Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the
impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government
Assistance (Topic 832),” which requires annual disclosures that
increase the transparency of transactions involving government
grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting
for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on
an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update are
effective for financial statements issued for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company expects that this
guidance will not have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
4. REVENUE
DISAGGREGATION

considered to be revenues from contracts with customers under
GAAP.

10. CONSOLIDATED
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY - ALPHA FUND
Alpha Fund – Consolidated Variable Interest
Entity
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company invested in Ault Alpha LP (the
“Alpha Fund”). The Alpha Fund operates as a private investment
fund. The general partner of the Alpha Fund, Ault Alpha GP LLC
(“Alpha GP”) is owned by Ault Capital Management LLC (the
“Investment Manager”), which also acts as the investment manager to
the Alpha Fund. The Investment Manager is owned by Ault &
Company. Messrs. Ault, Horne, Nisser and Cragun, who serve as
executive officers and/or directors of the Company, are executive
officers of the Investment Manager, and Messrs. Ault, Horne and
Nisser are executive officers and directors of Ault &
Company.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company subscribed for $18 million or
100% of the
limited partnership interests in the Alpha Fund, the full amount of
which was funded, an increase of $1 million from the $17 million subscribed and
funded as of December 31, 2021. These investments are subject to a
rolling five-year lock-up period, provided that after three years,
Alpha GP will waive the last twenty-four (24) months of the lock-up
period upon receipt of written notice from an executive officer of
the Company that a withdrawal of capital is required to prevent a
going concern opinion from the Company’s auditors, under the terms
of the Alpha Fund’s partnership agreement and side letter entered
into between the Company and the Alpha Fund.
The Company consolidates Alpha Fund as a variable interest entity
(a “VIE”) due to its significant level of influence and control of
Alpha Fund, the size of its investment, and its ability to
participate in policy making decisions, the Company is considered
the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
Investments by Alpha Fund – Treasury Stock
As of March 31, 2022, the Alpha Fund owned 7,100,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, accounted for as treasury stock as of March 31,
2022.

Financial Instruments
Under authoritative guidance used by the FASB on determining
whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an
entity’s own stock, instruments that do not have fixed settlement
provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. In prior years,
the Company granted certain warrants that resulted in these
warrants accounted for as a financial instrument and being
re-measured every reporting period with the change in value
reported in the statement of operations.
The financial
instruments were valued using a variety of pricing models with the
following valuation assumptions:

Per the terms of the warrant agreements underlying the financial
instruments, the value to the warrant holders is defined within the
agreement based on a stock price, contractual term, volatility
factor and dividend rate as defined in the warrant agreement, and
not indexed to the company’s stock, resulting in the financial
instrument accounting. The risk-free interest rate was based on
rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank.

the financial instruments during the three months ended March 31,

12. AMORTIZATION OF DEBT DISCOUNT
OF SECURED PROMISSORY NOTES
On December 30, 2021, the Company entered into a securities
purchase agreement with certain sophisticated investors providing
for the issuance of:
|
· |
secured promissory notes (the
“Secured Promissory Notes”) that bear interest at 8% per annum with an aggregate
principal face amount of approximately $66 million including a
10% original
issue discount; |
|
· |
five-year warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 14,095,350 shares of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50, subject to adjustment;
and |
|
· |
five-year warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 1,942,508 shares of Common
Stock (the “Class B Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of
$2.50 per share, subject to
adjustment. The Class B Warrant Shares are deemed to be a
derivative instrument. |
As of December 31, 2021, unamortized debt discount on the Secured
Promissory Notes related to the original issue discount and
estimated fair value of the warrants totaled $26.3
million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Secured
Promissory Notes were repaid and the Company fully amortized the
related debt discount of $26.3 million, which is
included within interest expense on the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.
13. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd.
On November 28, 2018, Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd.
(“Blockchain Mining”) a vendor who sold computers to one of the
Company’s subsidiaries, filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Digital Farms,
Inc. (f/k/a Super Crypto Mining, Inc.), in an action captioned
Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd. v. Super Crypto
Mining, Inc. and DPW Holdings, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-11099.
The Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and promissory
estoppel against the Company and its subsidiary arising from the
subsidiary’s alleged failure to honor its obligations under the
purchase agreement. The Complaint seeks monetary damages in excess
of $1,388,495, plus attorneys’ fees and
costs.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims
asserted against it in this action.
On April 13, 2020, the Company and its subsidiary, jointly filed a
motion to dismiss the Complaint in its entirety as against the
Company, and the promissory estoppel claim as against its
subsidiary. On the same day, the Company’s subsidiary also filed a
partial Answer to the Complaint in connection with the breach of
contract claim.
On April 29, 2020, Blockchain Mining filed an amended complaint
(the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint asserts the same
causes of action and seeks the same damages as the initial
Complaint.
On May 13, 2020, the Company and its subsidiary, jointly filed a
motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety as against
the Company, and the promissory estoppel claim as against of its
subsidiary. On the same day, the Company’s subsidiary also filed a
partial Answer to the Amended Complaint in connection with the
breach of contract claim.
In its partial Answer, the Company’s subsidiary admitted to the
validity of the contract at issue and also asserted numerous
affirmative defenses concerning the proper calculation of
damages.
On December 4, 2020, the Court issued an Order directing the
parties to engage in limited discovery (the “Limited Discovery”) to
be completed by March 4, 2021. In connection therewith, the Court
also denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss without
prejudice.
On June 2, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary filed a motion to
dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety as against the
Company, and the promissory estoppel claim as against the
subsidiary.
The motion to dismiss has been fully briefed and is currently
pending before the Court.
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 established a reserve in the amount of the unpaid
portion of the purchase agreement, which is included in accounts
payable and accrued expenses. An unfavorable outcome may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang
Litigation
On January 17, 2020, Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) (“Gu”) and Xiaodan
Wang (“Wang” and with “Gu” collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed a
Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York against the Company and the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Milton C. Ault, III, in an action
captioned Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang v. DPW
Holdings, Inc. and Milton C. Ault III (a/k/a Milton Todd Ault III
a/k/a Todd Ault), Index No. 650438/2020.
The Complaint asserts causes of action for declaratory judgment,
specific performance, breach of contract, conversion, attorneys’
fees, permanent injunction, enforcement of Guaranty, unjust
enrichment, money had and received, and fraud arising from: (i) a
series of transactions entered into between Gu and the Company, as
well as Gu and Ault, in or about May 2019; and (ii) a term sheet
entered into between Plaintiffs and the Company, in or about July
2019. The Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages in
excess of $1.1 million, plus a decree of specific performance
directing the Company to deliver unrestricted shares of common
stock to Gu, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims
asserted against it in this action.
On May 4, 2020, the Company and Ault jointly filed a motion to
dismiss the Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice.
On July 28, 2021, the Court conducted oral argument in connection
with the motion to dismiss. During the oral argument, the Court
informed the parties that the Court was dismissing the fraud claim,
in its entirety, and provided Plaintiffs an opportunity to amend
their fraud claim within sixty days of the date of the oral
argument. The Court reserved decision on the other causes of
action.
On December 14, 2021, the Court entered a decision and order in
connection with the motion to dismiss whereby the Court dismissed
Plaintiff’s causes of action for specific performance, conversion,
permanent injunction, and reiterated its prior determination that
the fraud claim was also dismissed. The Court denied the motion to
dismiss in connection with the other causes of action asserted in
the complaint.
On January 26, 2022, the Company and Mr. Ault filed an answer to
the complaint and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.
Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the above
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. An unfavorable
outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Subpoena
The Company and certain affiliates and related parties have
received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of
documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with this
non-public, fact-finding inquiry and management believes that the
Company has operated its business in compliance with all applicable
laws. The subpoenas expressly provide that the inquiry is not to be
construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any
violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should
they be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or
security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of
this matter.
Other 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 and the estimated amount of a loss related to such
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.
14. STOCKHOLDERS’
EQUITY
2022 Issuances
2022 ATM
Offering
On February 25, 2022, the Company entered into an At-The-Market
issuance sales agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets to sell
shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to
$200
million from time to time, through an “at the market offering”
program (the “2022 ATM Offering”). As of March 31, 2022, the
Company had sold an aggregate of 140.0 million shares of common stock
pursuant to the 2022 ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $110.1
million.
15. INCOME
TAXES
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in
accordance with ASC 270 and ASC 740. The Company’s effective tax
rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 0.0%
and 0.2% for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had
no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
2022 and recorded an income tax provision of $6,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. The difference between the ETR and federal
statutory rate of 21%
is primarily attributable to items recorded for GAAP but
permanently disallowed for U.S. federal income tax purposes and
changes in valuation allowance.
16. NET INCOME
(LOSS) PER SHARE
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The
calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same
for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as the effect of the
potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the
Company’s net loss position for the period. Anti-dilutive
securities, which are convertible into or exercisable for the
Company’s common stock, consist of the following at March 31,
2022:

EVENTS
2022 ATM Offering
During the period between April 1, 2022 through May 20, 2022, the
Company sold an aggregate of 88.2
million shares of common stock pursuant to the 2022 ATM
Offering for gross proceeds of $49.4
million.
Investments in Alpha Fund
During the period between April 1, 2022 through May 16, 2022, the
Company purchased an additional $3.0
million of limited partnership interests in the Alpha Fund.
As of May 16, 2022, the Company had subscribed for $21.0 million of
limited partnership interests.
Investments in Alzamend
On April 26, 2022, DP Lending funded the remaining $4 million due to
Alzamend upon its achievement of the final milestone.
EYP Acquisition
On April 25, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Ault
Alliance has agreed to lend approximately $12 million (inclusive of
existing loans) through a super-priority debtor-in-possession
(“DIP”) loan to, and entered into an asset purchase agreement with,
EYP, Inc. and its affiliates (“EYP”) providing for the acquisition
of all of EYP’s assets for an aggregate consideration of
approximately $68 million (the “Asset Purchase”). Ault
Alliance will also make an offer of employment to all current
employees of EYP. EYP is an integrated architecture, engineering,
and design services company specializing in higher education,
healthcare, government and science & technology with offices in
11 cities across the United States.
The asset purchase agreement constitutes a “stalking horse” bid in
a sale process being conducted under Section 363 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. As such, Ault Alliance’s acquisition of EYP’s
assets remains subject to approval by the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware, following court-approved
bidding procedures, including the potential receipt of competing
offers for EYP’s assets at auction. It is expected that the sale
process will be completed by June 2022, and that throughout the
sale process, the business will continue to operate in the ordinary
course providing services to its customers. As part of the
purchase, Ault Alliance will be able to include the value of its
DIP loan as part of its bid at closing. Consummation of the Asset Purchase is
subject to Bankruptcy Court approved bidding
procedures, higher and better offers made in the auction by
other potential bidders, approval of the highest bidder by the
Bankruptcy Court and customary closing conditions.
Increase in Ownership of Alliance Cloud Services,
LLC
On May 12, 2022, BNI closed a $1.8 million membership
interest purchase agreement whereby BNI acquired the 30% minority interest of Alliance
Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”) which BNI did not previously own,
resulting in ACS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNI. ACS
owns and operates the Company’s Michigan data center, where BNI
conducts the Company’s Bitcoin mining operations.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In this quarterly report, the “Company,” “BitNile,” “we,” “us” and
“our” refer to BitNile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
BitNile is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by
acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a
global impact. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries and strategic
investments, the Company owns and operates a data center at which
it mines Bitcoin, and provides mission-critical products that
support a diverse range of industries, including defense/aerospace,
industrial, automotive, telecommunications, medical/biopharma, and
textiles. In addition, the Company owns and operates hotels and
extends credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through a
licensed lending subsidiary.
Recent Events and Developments
On February 4, 2022, we and our wholly owned subsidiary Ault
Alliance, Inc. (“Ault Alliance”) entered into a securities purchase
agreement providing for our purchase of BitNile, Inc. (“BNI”) from
Ault Alliance. As a result of this transaction, both BNI and Ault
Alliance are each stand-alone wholly owned subsidiaries of
ours.
On February 10, 2022, consistent with our objective to have BNI
operate the entirety of our business that relates to
cryptocurrencies, Ault Alliance assigned the entirety of its
interest in Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”) to BNI.
On February 25, 2022, we entered into an At-The-Market issuance
sales agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC to sell shares
of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200
million from time to time, through an “at the market offering”
program (the “2022 ATM Offering”). As of March 31, 2022, we had
sold an aggregate of 140.0 million shares of common stock pursuant
to the 2022 ATM Offering for gross proceeds of $110.1 million.
On March 20, 2022, we and our majority owned subsidiary Imperalis
Holding Corp. (“IMHC”) entered into a securities purchase agreement
(the “Agreement”) with TurnOnGreen, Inc. (“TOGI”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of ours. According to the Agreement, we will (i) deliver
to IMHC all of the outstanding shares of common stock of TOGI that
we own, and (ii) forgive and eliminate the intracompany accounts
between us and TOGI evidencing historical equity investments made
by us in TOGI, in the approximate amount of $25,000,000, in
consideration for the issuance by IMHC to us (the “Transaction”) of
an aggregate of 25,000 newly designated shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (the “IMHC Preferred Stock”), with each such share
having a stated value of $1,000. The closing of the Transaction is
subject to our delivery to IMHC of audited financial statements of
TOGI and other customary closing conditions. Immediately following
the completion of the Transaction, TOGI will be a wholly-owned
subsidiary of IMHC. The parties to the Agreement have agreed that,
upon completion of the Transaction, IMHC will change its name to
TurnOnGreen, Inc., and, through an upstream merger whereby the
current TOGI shall cease to exist, IMHC shall have TOGI’s two
operating subsidiaries, TOG Technologies Inc. and Digital Power
Corporation. Promptly following the closing of the Transaction,
IMHC will dissolve its three dormant subsidiaries.
On March 30, 2022, we fully paid our $66 million senior secured
notes (the “Senior Notes”) and accrued interest. The 10% original
issuance discount promissory notes were sold in December 2021 and
were due and payable on March 31, 2022.
On April 22, 2022, Ault Alliance entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with EYP Group Holdings,
Inc. and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates listed on the
signature page to the Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively,
“EYP”), pursuant to which Ault Alliance agreed to purchase
substantially all of the assets of EYP (such assets, the “Assets,”
and such transaction, the “Asset Purchase”). On April 24, 2022, EYP
filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
“Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court has permitted joint
administration of the Chapter 11 cases under the caption “In re EYP
Group Holdings, Inc., et al.”, Case No. 22-10367 (MFW) (the
“Chapter 11 Cases”).
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Ault Alliance or its
designee(s), upon the closing of the transactions contemplated
thereby, will purchase the Assets and assume certain of EYP’s
obligations associated with the purchased Assets through a
supervised sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Ault
Alliance’s stalking horse bid is based on an enterprise value of
approximately Sixty-Seven Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars
($67,700,000), which includes the purchase price for the Assets
under the Asset Purchase Agreement of Sixty-Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($62,500,000), as adjusted by a closing
working capital adjustment (the “Purchase Price”), plus Ault
Alliance’s assumption of certain liabilities. The Purchase Price
would be paid in cash, less the outstanding amount of the DIP Loans
and the senior secured loans previously issued by Ault Alliance to
EYP, in an approximate aggregate amount of Eleven Million Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($11,750,000), and less the amount
of certain liabilities assumed by Ault Alliance. The Asset Purchase
Agreement requires the Asset Purchase to close by June 30, 2022.
Consummation of the Asset Purchase is subject to Bankruptcy Court
approved bidding procedures, higher and better offers made in the
auction by other potential bidders, approval of the highest bidder
by the Bankruptcy Court and customary closing conditions.
In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, EYP filed a motion seeking
Bankruptcy Court approval of debtor-in-possession financing on the
terms set forth in that certain Senior Secured Superpriority
Debtor-in-Possession Financing Term Sheet, dated April 22, 2022
(the “DIP Financing Agreement”), by and among Ault Alliance and
EYP. The DIP Financing Agreement provides for senior secured
superpriority debtor-in-possession financing facilities (the “DIP
Financing”) in a $5 million commitment, with up to $2.5 million of
such commitment available upon entry of an interim order (the
“Interim DIP Order”) approving the DIP Financing (the “Initial
Draw”). The DIP Financing will become available upon the
satisfaction of customary conditions precedent thereto, including
the entry of the Interim DIP Order. The remaining portion of the
commitment, minus the Initial Draw, shall become available upon
entry of the final order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP
Financing (collectively, any borrowings under the DIP Financing the
“DIP Loans”). On April 26, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered the
Interim DIP Order. On or about April 29, 2022, EYP made an Initial
Draw in the amount of $1.5 million pursuant to the Interim DIP
Order. A hearing on approval of the DIP Financing on a final basis
is scheduled for May 25, 2022.
The DIP Financing matures on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2022, (ii)
the closing date following entry of one or more final orders
approving the sale of the Assets in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) the
acceleration of any outstanding DIP Loans following the occurrence
of an uncured event of default (as defined in the DIP Financing
Agreement), or (iv) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court in
the Chapter 11 Cases either (a) dismissing such case or converting
such Chapter 11 Case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code, or (b) appointing a Chapter 11 trustee or an examiner with
enlarged powers relating to the operation of the business of EYP
(i.e., powers beyond those set forth in sections 1106(a)(3) and (4)
of the Bankruptcy Code), in each case without the consent of Ault
Alliance.
On April 26, 2022, Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”) made
an additional $4 million investment in Alzamend Neuro, Inc.
(“Alzamend”), a related party and early clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for
the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric
disorders. During 2021, DP Lending entered into a securities
purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Alzamend to invest $10 million
in Alzamend common stock and warrants, subject to the achievement
of certain milestones. DP Lending had previously funded $6 million
pursuant to the terms of the SPA and the achievement of certain
milestones related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
approval of Alzamend’s Investigational New Drug application and
Phase 1a human clinical trials for AL001. On April 26, 2022, DP
Lending funded the remaining amount due to achievement of the final
milestone, the receipt of the full data set from Alzamend’s Phase 1
clinical trial for AL001.
On May 12, 2022, BNI closed a $1.8 million membership interest
purchase agreement whereby BNI acquired the 30% minority interest
of ACS which BNI did not previously own, resulting in ACS becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNI. ACS owns and operates our
Michigan data center, where BNI conducts our Bitcoin mining
operations.
General
As a holding company, our business strategy is designed to increase
stockholder value. Under this strategy, 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 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 some or all 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) programs
and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in
secondary market transactions to maximize value for our
stockholders.
Over the recent past we have provided capital and relevant
expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in defense/aerospace,
industrial, telecommunications, medical, crypto-mining, textiles
and a select portfolio of commercial hospitality properties. 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.
We are a Delaware corporation with our corporate office located at
11411 Southern Highlands Pkwy, Suite 240, Las Vegas, NV 89141. Our
phone number is 949-444-5464 and our website address is

Our revenues increased by $19.6 million, or 148%, to $32.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $13.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
GWW
GWW revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 14%, to $7.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $6.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in revenue from
our GWW segment for customized solutions for the military markets
reflects higher revenue from Enertec, which largely consists of
revenue recognized over time, grew to $3.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $0.8 million, or 33.4%,
from $2.4 million in the prior-year period.
TOGI
TOGI revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of
$1.1 million declined $0.3 million, or 18%, from
$1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to
supply chain challenges.
Cryptocurrency
Revenues from our cryptocurrency mining operations were $3.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.1
million for three months ended March 31, 2021. During 2021, we
purchased Bitcoin mining equipment and increased our cryptocurrency
mining activities. Our decision to increase our cryptocurrency
mining operations in 2021 was based on several factors, which
positively affected the number of active miners we operated,
including the market prices of digital currencies, and favorable
power costs available at our Michigan data center.
Real Estate
Real estate segment revenues were $2.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to nil for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. On December
22, 2021, the real estate segment acquired four hotel properties
for $71.3 million, consisting of a 136-room Courtyard by Marriott,
a 133-room Hilton Garden Inn and a 122-room Residence Inn by
Marriott in Middleton, WI, as well as a 135-room Hilton Garden Inn
in Rockford, IL. Other than the cryptocurrency segment Michigan
data center, we did not have any income-producing real estate prior
to the hotel acquisitions.
Ault Alliance
Revenues from our lending and trading activities increased to $17.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $5.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which is
attributable to a significant allocation of capital from our equity
financing transactions to our loan and investment portfolio. During
the three months ended March 31, 2022, DP Lending generated
significant income from appreciation of investments in marketable
securities as well as shares of common stock underlying convertible
notes and warrants issued to DP Lending in certain financing
transactions. Under its business model, DP Lending also generates
revenue through origination fees charged to borrowers and interest
generated from each loan.
Revenues from our trading activities during the three months ended
March 31, 2022 included significant 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.
Gross Margins
Gross margins increased to 68.0% for the three months ended March
31, 2022, compared to 61.4% for the three months ended March 31,
2021. Our gross margins have typically ranged between 33% and 37%,
with slight variations depending on the overall composition of our
revenue.
Our gross margins of 68.0% recognized during the three months ended
March 31, 2022 were impacted by the favorable margins from our
lending and trading activities. Excluding the effects of margin
from our lending and trading activities, our adjusted gross margins
for the three months ended March 31, 2022, would have been 30%,
slightly lower than our historical range, due in part to lower
margins at TOGI related to higher freight costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2022.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased by $0.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, from $0.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in research and
development expenses is due to product development efforts at
GWW.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $6.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $5.2 million, or 422%.
The increase was the result of $5.0 million higher marketing costs
at Ault Alliance, including $3.5 million related to an advertising
sponsorship agreement as well as increases in sales and marketing
personnel and consultants. The increase is also attributable to a
$0.2 million increase in costs incurred at TOGI to grow our selling
and marketing infrastructure related to our EV charger
products.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $13.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $8.6
million, or 169%. General and administrative expenses increased
from the comparative prior period, mainly due to:
|
· |
non-cash stock compensation costs
of $2.6 million; |
|
· |
general and administrative costs of
$1.8 million from our hotel operations, which were acquired in
December 2021; |
|
· |
increased costs of $0.9 million
related to the Michigan data center, operated by ACS; and |
|
· |
higher legal expense of
$1.3 million, salaries of $0.5 million and audit fees of $0.3
million.
|
Income From Operations
We recorded income from operations of $1.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in operating income is
attributable to the increase in operating expenses partially offset
by the increase in revenue and gross margins.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income was $0.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to $37,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. Other income for the three months ended March 31,
2022 included $0.3 million other income from Alpha Fund, which was
formed in July 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $29.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2022, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2021. The increase in interest expense relates to the $66.0
million of Senior Notes issued in December 2021, which were fully
paid in March 2022. Interest expense from these Senior Notes
included the amortization of debt discount of $26.3 million from
the issuance of warrants, a non-cash charge, and original issue
discount, in connection with these Senior Notes.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the fair value of the
warrants that were issued during 2021 in a series of debt
financings increased by $18,000. The fair value of these warrants
is re-measured at each financial reporting period and immediately
before exercise, with any changes in fair value recorded as change
in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Change in Fair Value of Marketable Equity Securities
Change in fair value of marketable equity securities was nil for
the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a gain of $2.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The change
relates to an investment in marketable securities held by
Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”), a majority owned subsidiary
of GWW, that was fully sold in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Realized Gain on Marketable Securities
Realized gain on marketable securities was $0.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2021. The change relates to realized
gains from an investment in marketable securities held by
Microphase, a portion of which was sold during the three months
ended March 31, 2021.
Loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
Loss from investment in unconsolidated entity was $0.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to nil for the
three months ended March 31, 2021, representing our share of losses
from our equity method investment in Avalanche International Corp.
(“AVLP”).
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
Gain on extinguishment of debt was nil for the three months ended
March 31, 2022, compared to a gain of $0.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March
31, 2021, principal and accrued interest of $200,000 and $16,000,
respectively, on our debt was satisfied through the issuance of
183,214 shares of our common stock. We recognized a loss on
extinguishment of $0.2 million as a result of this issuance of
common stock based on the fair value of our common stock at the
date of the exchange. The loss on extinguishment from the issuance
of the 183,214 shares of our common stock was offset by the
forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program loan in the
principal amount of $0.7 million.
Net (Loss) Income
For the foregoing reasons, our net loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 was $28.8 million, compared to net income of $2.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Other comprehensive loss was $0.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to other comprehensive income of $2.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Other
comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was
primarily due to unrealized gains in the warrant derivative
securities that we received as a result of our investment in
AVLP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.4
million (excluding restricted cash of $4.7 million). This compares
with cash and cash equivalents of $15.9 million (excluding
restricted cash of $5.3 million) at December 31, 2021. The increase
in cash and cash equivalents cash was primarily due to cash
provided by financing activities related to our 2022 ATM Offering
and cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by the
payment of debt and purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $25.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net cash used in
operating activities of $14.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2021. Cash provided by operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 included $32.6 million net cash
provided by marketable securities from trading activities related
to the operations of DP Lending.
Net cash used in investing activities was $24.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $16.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used in investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $35.4
million of capital expenditures related to Bitcoin mining
equipment, partially offset by $10.2 million proceeds from the sale
of marketable equity securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $22.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $119.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and reflects the
following transactions:
|
· |
2022 ATM Offering – On
February 25, 2022, we entered into an At-The-Market issuance sales
agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC to sell shares of
common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200
million from time to time, through the 2022 ATM Offering. As of
March 31, 2022, we had sold an aggregate of 140.0 million shares of
common stock pursuant to the 2022 ATM Offering for gross proceeds
of $110.1 million. |
|
· |
December 2021 Secured Promissory
Notes – On December 30, 2021, we entered into a securities
purchase agreement with certain sophisticated investors providing
for the issuance of Senior Notes that bore interest at 8% per annum
with an aggregate principal face amount of $66.0 million. The
Senior Notes were repaid in March 2022. |
|
· |
Margin Accounts Payable –
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into leverage
agreements on certain brokerage accounts, whereby we borrowed $18.5
million. The margin accounts payable were repaid during the three
months ended March 31, 2022. |
We believe our current cash on hand combined with the proceeds from
the 2022 ATM Offering are sufficient to meet our operating and
capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the
date the financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
2022 are issued.
Critical Accounting Policies
Variable Interest Entities
For a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we assess whether we are
the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on
the consolidation of a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the
party that has the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact the performance of the entity and the
obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive the
benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity.
We evaluate our business relationships with related parties to
identify potential VIEs under Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. We consolidate VIEs in which we
are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Entities are
considered to be the primary beneficiary if they have both of the
following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities
that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s
performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and right to
receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the
VIE. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control
of an entity involves the consideration of various factors
including the form of our ownership interest, our representation in
the entity’s governance, the size of our investment, estimates of
future cash flows, our ability to participate in policy making
decisions and the rights of the other investors to participate in
the decision making process and to replace us as manager and/or
liquidate the joint venture, if applicable.
Variable Interest Entity Considerations – AVLP
We have determined that AVLP is a VIE as it does not have
sufficient equity at risk. We do not consolidate AVLP because we
are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling
financial interest. To be a primary beneficiary, an entity must
have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most
significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, among other
factors. Although we have made a significant investment in AVLP, we
have determined that Philou, which controls AVLP through the voting
power conferred by its equity investment and which is deemed to be
more closely associated with AVLP, is the primary beneficiary. As a
result, AVLP’s financial position and results of operations are not
consolidated in our financial position and results of
operations.
Equity Investment in
Unconsolidated Entity
As of March 31, 2022, our
ownership percentage of AVLP was less than 20%. During the fourth
quarter of 2021, we made additional advances to AVLP under the
existing loan agreement and our consolidated VIE, Ault Alpha,
entered into a loan agreement with AVLP totaling $3.6 million. Due
to our cumulative lending position to AVLP and the facts and
circumstances surrounding the terms of loan agreements, we
reevaluated our level of influence over AVLP and determined that
the equity ownership in AVLP should be accounted for under the
equity method of accounting.
The basis of our previously
held interest in AVLP was remeasured to fair value immediately
before adopting the equity method of accounting. Our interest in
AVLP as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 has been presented
as an equity investment in an unconsolidated entity.
We have invested in AVLP
based on the potential global impact of the novel technology of
AVLP. AVLP has developed a novel cost effective and environmentally
friendly material synthesis technology for textile applications.
AVLP’s Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement is a unique technology
that has the ability to treat both natural and synthetic textiles
for a wide variety of functionalities, including dyeability and
printing enhancements, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, fire
retardancy and anti-microbial properties. The use of water, harmful
chemicals and energy is significantly reduced in comparison to
conventional textile treatment methods.

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 on Form 10-Q 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, 2021,
the end of its most recent fiscal year.
Specifically, management has determined that we do not have
sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts
our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information
related to financial reporting, including applying complex
accounting principles relating to consolidation accounting and fair
value estimates, in a timely manner. 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. 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.
A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of
control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood
that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected.
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 consolidated financial statements included in the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 most recent fiscal quarter
2022 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.

ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd.
On November 28, 2018, Blockchain Mining Supply and Services, Ltd.
(“Blockchain Mining”) a vendor who sold computers to our
subsidiary, filed a Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York against
us and our subsidiary, Digital Farms, Inc. (f/k/a Super Crypto
Mining, Inc.), in an action captioned Blockchain Mining Supply
and Services, Ltd. v. Super Crypto Mining, Inc. and DPW Holdings,
Inc., Case No. 18-cv-11099.
The Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and promissory
estoppel against us and our subsidiary arising from the
subsidiary’s alleged failure to honor its obligations under the
purchase agreement. The Complaint seeks monetary damages in excess
of $1.4 million, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.
We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to
vigorously defend them.
On April 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary, jointly filed a motion to
dismiss the Complaint in its entirety as against us, and the
promissory estoppel claim as against our subsidiary. On the same
day, our subsidiary also filed a partial Answer to the Complaint in
connection with the breach of contract claim.
On April 29, 2020, Blockchain Mining filed an amended complaint
(the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint asserts the same
causes of action and seeks the same damages as the initial
Complaint.
On May 13, 2020, we and our subsidiary, jointly filed a motion to
dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety as against us, and
the promissory estoppel claim as against of our subsidiary. On the
same day, our subsidiary also filed a partial Answer to the Amended
Complaint in connection with the breach of contract claim.
In its partial Answer, the Company’s subsidiary admitted to the
validity of the contract at issue and also asserted numerous
affirmative defenses concerning the proper calculation of
damages.
On December 4, 2020, the Court issued an Order directing the
Parties to engage in limited discovery (the “Limited Discovery”)
which was completed on March 4, 2021. In connection therewith, the
Court also denied the previously filed motion to dismiss without
prejudice.
On June 2, 2021, we and our subsidiary filed a motion to dismiss
(the “Motion to Dismiss”) the Amended Complaint in its entirety as
against us, and the promissory estoppel claim as against the
subsidiary.
The Motion to Dismiss has been fully briefed and is currently
pending before the Court.
Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the
uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the case,
we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss
that may result from this action. Notwithstanding, we have
established a reserve in the amount of the unpaid portion of the
purchase agreement. An unfavorable outcome may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang Litigation
On January 17, 2020, Ding Gu (a/k/a Frank Gu) (“Gu”) and Xiaodan
Wang (“Wang” and with “Gu” collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed a
Complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York against us and our Chief Executive
Officer, Milton C. Ault, III, in an action captioned Ding Gu
(a/k/a Frank Gu) and Xiaodan Wang v. DPW Holdings, Inc. and Milton
C. Ault III (a/k/a Milton Todd Ault III a/k/a Todd Ault), Index
No. 650438/2020.
The Complaint asserts causes of action for declaratory judgment,
specific performance, breach of contract, conversion, attorneys’
fees, permanent injunction, enforcement of Guaranty, unjust
enrichment, money had and received, and fraud arising from: (i) a
series of transactions entered into between Gu and us, as well as
Gu and Ault, in or about May 2019; and (ii) a term sheet entered
into between Plaintiffs and DPW, in or about July 2019. The
Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages in excess of
$1.1 million, plus a decree of specific performance directing DPW
to deliver unrestricted shares of DPW’s common stock to Gu, plus
attorneys’ fees and costs.
We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to
vigorously defend them.
On May 4, 2020, we and Ault jointly filed a motion to dismiss the
Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice (the “Motion to
Dismiss”).
On July 28, 2021, the Court conducted oral argument (the “Oral
Argument”), via Microsoft Teams, in connection with the Motion to
Dismiss. During the Oral Argument, the Court informed the
parties that the Court would be dismissing the fraud claim, in its
entirety, and provided Plaintiffs an opportunity to amend their
fraud claim within sixty days of the date of the Oral
Argument. The Court reserved decision on the other causes of
action.
On December 14, 2021, the Court entered a Decision and Order in
connection with the Motion to Dismiss (the “Order”) whereby the
Court dismissed Plaintiff’s causes of action for specific
performance, conversion, permanent injunction, and reiterated its
prior determination that the fraud claim was also dismissed.
The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss in connection with the other
causes of action asserted in the Complaint.
On January 26, 2022, we and Ault filed an Answer to the Complaint
and asserted numerous affirmative defenses.
Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the above claims,
the uncertainty of litigation, and the preliminary stage of the
case, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of
loss that may result from this action. An unfavorable outcome may
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Subpoena
The Company and certain affiliates and related parties have
received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of
documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with this
non-public, fact-finding inquiry and management believes that the
Company has operated its business in compliance with all applicable
laws. The subpoenas expressly provide that the inquiry is not to be
construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any
violations of the federal securities laws have occurred, nor should
they be considered a reflection upon any person, entity or
security. However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of
this matter.
Other 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 and the estimated amount
of a loss related to such 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.
The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our
2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations,
and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk
factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations
could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to
us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our
operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our
past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future
performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate
results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of
our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in
all material respects.
