1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

DPWAult Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DPW”Ault Global” or the “Company”), formerly known as Digital Power Corporation,DPW Holdings, was incorporated in September 2017. The Company is a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries engaged in the following operating businesses: commercial and defense solutions, commercial lending and advanced textile technology. The Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiaries are Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“GWW”), Coolisys Technologies Corp. (“Coolisys”), Gresham Power Electronics Ltd. (f/k/a Digital Power Limited) (“Gresham Power”), Enertec Systems 2001 LtdRelec Electronics Ltd. (“EnertecRelec”), Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”), Ault Alliance, Inc. (“Ault Alliance”), Ault Disruptive Technologies Company, LLC and Digital Farms, Inc.Tansocial LLC (“Digital Farms”Tansocial”). The Company also has a controlling interest in Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd (“Enertec”), Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”) and Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“Alliance Cloud Services”). The Company has three reportable segments – defense solutions through GWW with operations conducted by Microphase, Enertec and Gresham Power, commercial solutions through Coolisys and commercial lending through DP Lending.segments:

 

·GWW – defense solutions with operations conducted by Microphase, Enertec, Gresham Power and Relec,

·Coolisys – commercial electronics solutions, and

·Ault Alliance – commercial lending and digital learning through DP Lending, Alliance Cloud Services and Tansocial.

During March 2020, the Company ceased restaurant operations at Digital Farms, the Company’s blockchain mining subsidiary, and I. AM,I.AM, Inc. (“I. AM”I.AM”). Management determined that the permanent closing of the restaurant operations at I. AM,I.AM, which owned and operated the Prep Kitchen brand restaurants located in the San Diego area, met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the restaurant operations segment are presented as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented.

On March 14, 2019, pursuant toNovember 2, 2020, I.AM filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in the authorization provided byUnited States Bankruptcy Court in the Company’s stockholders at a Special MeetingCentral District of Stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “COI Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Common Stock of the Company’s issued and outstandingCalifornia, Santa Ana Division, case number of such shares by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “First Stock Split”). At the Company’s 2019 reconvened Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal permitting the Board to effectuate a second reverse stock split (the “Second Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. Thereafter, on July 23, 2019, the Board approved the Second Stock Split with a ratio of one-for-forty. The Second Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or their par value per share.8:20-bk-13076. As a result of I.AM’s bankruptcy filing on November 2, 2020, Ault Global ceded authority for managing the Second Stock Split, each forty sharesbusiness to the Bankruptcy Court. For this reason, the Company concluded that Ault Global had lost control of I.AM, and no longer had significant influence over I.AM. Therefore, the Company deconsolidated I.AM effective with the filing of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2020.

In March 2021, the Company resumed cryptocurrency mining operations due to several factors, which had positively affected the number of active miners the Company operated, including the market prices of digital currencies, and favorable power costs available at the Michigan cloud data center purchased on January 29, 2021.

On January 19, 2021, the Company changed its corporate name from DPW Holdings, Inc., to Ault Global Holdings, Inc. The name change was effected through a parent/subsidiary short merger pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger dated January 7, 2021. The merger and resulting name change do not affect the rights of security holders of the Company. The Company’s common stock issued and outstanding priorcontinues to be quoted on the Second Stock Split were converted into one share of common stock. The Second Stock Split became effective inNYSE American under the State of Delaware on August 5, 2019. All share amounts in these financial statements have been updated to reflect these reverse stock splits.symbol “DPW”.

 

2. LIQUIDITY GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANSFINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,691,289, an accumulated deficit of $96,564,940 and negative$107.8 million, working capital of $20,818,885. The Company has incurred recurring losses$119.5 million and reported losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, totaling $7,907,081 and $10,769,923, respectively.total stockholders’ equity of $176.5 million. In the past, the Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2020,the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company continued to successfully obtain additional equity and debt financing and restructured existing debt.financing.

 

The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continuebelieves its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements. During February 2020, the Company entered into a Master Exchange Agreement with an entity that has agreed to purchase up to approximately $7.7 million in certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential public or private issuances of debt or equity securities. However, if the Companycurrent cash on hand is unable to raise additional capital, which ability could be adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, it may be required to curtail operations and take additional measures to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce and eliminating outside consultants to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These matters raise substantial doubt aboutoperating and capital requirements for at least the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanyingnext twelve months from the date these financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.are issued.

Coronavirus disease 2019 and 2020 pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and the world.  The Company is monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, customer purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. 

However, the Company’s business has been disrupted and materially adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The Company is still assessing its business operations and system supports and the impact COVID-19 may have on its results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable the Company to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in its sectors in particular.

The Company’s operations are located in Alameda County, CA, Orange County, CA, Fairfield County, CT, the United Kingdom, Israel and members of senior management work in Seattle, WA and New York, NY. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closures of its offices and having employees work remotely to the extent possible, which has to an extent adversely affected their efficiency.

Updates by business unit are as follows:

·DPW Holdings’ corporate headquarters, located in Newport Beach, CA, continues to work remotely, based on the occupancy and social distancing order from the Orange County Health Officer (http://www.ochealthinfo.com/phs/about/epidasmt/epi/dip/prevention/novel_coronavirus). The headquarters staff has tested the secure remote access systems and technology infrastructure to adjust working arrangements for its employees and believes it has adequate internal communications system and can remain operational with a remote staff. The Company is reviewing the reopening guidance by the Orange County Health Agency and the State of California along with COVID-19 General Checklist for Office Workspaces published by the California Department of Public Health. The corporate headquarters will reopen when the Company can provide a safe workspace for its employees.

·Coolisys Technologies Corp., located in Fremont, CA, had temporarily suspended operations as a result of the Alameda County Public Health Department’s order to cease all activities at facilities located within the County. Currently, manufacturing and logistics personnel operate on site whereas administrative personnel work remotely.

·Microphase Corporation, located in Shelton, CT, has developed an emergency plan to ensure that its mission critical manufacturing and logistical functions are up and running. Microphase has implemented additional steps to ensure a higher level of cleanliness in its facility. Employees at greater risk of major health issues from COVID-19, which include key members of its finance department, are not required to work on site. The crisis management team meets regularly to monitor the situation, and modifies and communicates the plan as the need arises. Once the COVID-19 crisis has passed, the team will work on transitioning Microphase back to normal operations.

·Gresham Power Electronics Limited, located in Salisbury, UK, continues to follow UK Government and Public Health England COVID-19 safety guidelines, which includes a combination of working remotely and adhering to social distancing and health and safety procedures on site. Essential staff are on site for specific work as required.

·Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd., located in Karmiel, Israel, has been granted a waiver by the Israeli government to remain open to complete key projects that impact national security. Approximately 50% of the Enertec workforce is working remotely.

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/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2020.April 15, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20192020 was derived from the Company’s audited 20192020 financial statements contained in the above referenced Form 10-K/A.10-K.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactionsThere have been eliminatedno material changes in consolidation.the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report other than disclosed below.

 

Accounting EstimatesFair value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

The preparationguidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgmentsobservable inputs and assumptions. The Company's management believesminimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the estimates, judgmentsmost observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and assumptions used are reasonabledeveloped based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dateson market data obtained from sources independent of the financial statements,Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:      Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:     Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model.

Level 3:      Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include acquisition accounting, fair value of certain financial instruments, reserve for trade receivables and inventories,the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts and other receivable – related party, investments, carrying amountsnotes receivable, trade payables and trade payables – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of digital currencies, accruals of certain liabilities including product warranties, useful lives and the recoverability of long-lived assets, impairment analysis of intangibles and goodwill, and deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.such instruments. 

 

Impairment of long-lived assets:

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted expected future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets to their fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, management determined that its operating right-of-use assets attributed to the discontinued operations of I.AM were impaired by $1,020,514.

Revenue RecognitionRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, has completed its evaluation process and the January 1, 2021 adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Disaggregation

The core principlefollowing tables summarize disaggregated customer contract revenues and the source of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depictfor the transfer of promised goods or services to customersthree months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Revenues from lending and trading activities included in an amount that reflects the consideration toconsolidated revenues were primarily interest, dividend and other investment income, which the company expectsare not considered to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

·Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer,
·Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
·Step 3: Determine the transaction price,
·Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
·Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

Sales of Products

 

The Company generates revenues from the sale of its products through a direct and indirect sales force. The Company’s performance obligations to deliver products are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains control over the goods. The Company provides standard assurance warranties, which are not separately priced, that the products function as intended. The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Some of the Company’s contracts with distributors include stock rotation rights after six months for slow moving inventory, which represents variable consideration. The Company uses an expected value method to estimate variable consideration and constrains revenue for estimated stock rotations until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. To date, returns have been insignificant. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 days from the receipt of an invoice.

 

Because the Company’s product sales agreements have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected to adopt the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) of not disclosing information about its remaining performance obligations.

 

Manufacturing Services

 

The Company provides manufacturing services in exchange primarily for fixed fees; however, the initial two MLSE units are subject to variable pricing under the $50 million purchase order from MTIX. Under the terms of the MLSE purchase order, the Company is entitled to cost plus $100,000 for the manufacture of the first two MLSE units. The Company has determined that the costs of manufacturing the MLSE units will decline over time because of a learning curve which will result in a greater amount of revenue being recognized for these initial two MLSE units.

For manufacturing services, which include revenues generated by Enertec and in certain instances revenues generated by Gresham Power, the Company’s performance obligation for manufacturing services is satisfied over time as the Company creates or enhances an asset based on criteria that are unique to the customer and that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue based upon proportional performance over time using a cost to cost method which measures progress based on the costs incurred to total expected costs in satisfying its performance obligation. This method provides a depiction of the progress in providing the manufacturing service because there is a direct relationship between the costs incurred by the Company and the transfer of the manufacturing service to the customer. Manufacturing services that are recognized based upon the proportional performance method are included in the above table as services transferred over time and to the extent the customer has not been invoiced for these revenues, as accrued revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revisions to the Company’s estimates may result in increases or decreases to revenues and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component to the extent that the period between when the Company transfers its promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays in one year or less.

 

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation that is partially unsatisfied as of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, for the MLSE units was approximately $48$48.0 million, representing 24 MLSE units. Based on our expectations regarding funding of the production process and our experience building the first machines, the Company expects to recognize the remaining revenue related to the partially unsatisfied performance obligation over an estimated three year period. The Company will be paid in installments for this performance obligation over the estimated period that the remaining revenue is recognized.

 

Lending Activities and Trading Activities

 

Ault Alliance, through DP Lending, generates revenue from lending activities primarily through interest, origination fees and late/other fees. Interest income on these products is calculated based on the contractual interest rate and recorded as interest income as earned. The origination fees or original issue discounts are recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

 

Financial instruments utilized in trading activities are carried at fair value. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices for the same or similar assets and liabilities. If these market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on dealer quotes, pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques where the determination of Financial Instrumentsfair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Realized gains and losses are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in revenue from lending activities.

 

In accordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and DisclosuresBlockchain Mining, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

 

The guidance also establishesCompany has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a hierarchyfractional share of the fixed digital currency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizessuccessfully adding a block to the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developedblockchain. The Company’s factional share is based on market data obtained from sources independentthe proportion of computing power the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflectCompany contributed to the Company’s assumptions aboutmining pool operator to the factors that markettotal computing power contributed by all mining pool participants would use in valuingsolving the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:current algorithm.

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in our valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant toProviding computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the assets or liabilities.consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

The carrying amountsFair value of the digital currency award received is determined using the market rate of the related digital currency at the time of receipt.

There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for digital currencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining business, such as equipment deprecation and electricity cost are recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

We assess 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.

F-16

We measure equity investments without readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. Our other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values.

DPW

We assess 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.

Investments

We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.

Debt investments are classified as available-for-sale and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. The Company made an irrevocable election to record available-for-sale debt investments at fair value utilizing the fair value option available under U.S. GAAP. The Company believed that carrying these investments at fair value better portrayed the economic substance of the investments. Under the fair value option, gains and losses on the debt investments are included in unrealized gains/(losses) on investments within net earnings each reporting period. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. To determine credit losses, we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence. In addition, we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee. If we have plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in other income (expense), net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, we may incur future impairments .

Net Loss per ShareEquity investments

 

The following discusses our marketable equity securities, non-marketable equity securities, gains and losses on marketable and non-marketable equity securities.

Our marketable equity securities are publicly traded stocks or funds measured at fair value and classified within Level 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

Our non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values. The carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities is adjusted to fair value upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). Non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured during the period based on observable transactions are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because we estimate the value based on valuation methods which may include a combination of the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs including volatility, rights, and obligations of the securities we hold. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3.

We perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis and recognize an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than carrying value. Changes in value are recorded in other income (expense), net.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains and losses from changes in fair values are primarily recognized in other income (expense), net.

The following table summarizes the changes in investments in debt and equity securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company has not early adopted ASU 2019-12 and is currently evaluating its impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

4.7. Discontinued Operations

 

On March 16, 2020, to try and mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”),COVID-19, San Diego County health officials issued orders mandating that all restaurants must end dine-in services. As a result of these temporary closures and the deteriorating business conditions at both the Company’s cryptocurrency mining and restaurant businesses, the Company concluded that discontinuing the operations of Digital Farms and I. AMI.AM was ultimately in its best interest.

 

Digital Farms was established to pursue a variety of digital currencies and mined the top three cryptocurrencies for its own account. Although the Company has ceased operations at Digital Farms, since the assets and operations have not yet been abandoned, sold or distributed, these assets do not yet meet the requirement for presentation as discontinued operations. In the first quarter of 2020, management determined that the permanent closing of the restaurant operations met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the restaurant operations are presented as discontinued operations in ourthe Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive lossincome (loss) and are excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition,On November 2, 2020, I.AM filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in the assetsUnited States Bankruptcy Court in the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, case number 8:20-bk-13076. As a result of I.AM’s bankruptcy filing on November 2, 2020, Ault Global ceded authority for managing the business to the Bankruptcy Court. For this reason, the Company concluded that Ault Global had lost control of I.AM, and liabilitiesno longer had significant influence over I.AM. Therefore, the Company deconsolidated I.AM effective with the filing of the restaurant operations are classified as held for saleChapter 11 bankruptcy in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.November 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not grant any options under the Plans. Generally, options granted under the Plans become fully vested after four years. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company also issued 65,000 and 9,375, respectively, shares of common stock to its consultants and service providers. The grant date fair value of these shares amounted to $73,450 and $253,019 respectively, which was determined from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

The Company has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the options’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate estimated over the expected term and estimated volatility of our stock over the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options as calculated using the simplified method. The estimated volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of our common stock.

Pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement, the Creditor has the unilateral right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for the Notes.

The first exchange occurred on the date of the Master Exchange Agreement upon which the Creditor may exchange, in whole or in part, the Esousa Purchased Notes for the Exchange Shares (the “Initial Exchange”) and the second exchange (the “Second Exchange” and together with the Initial Exchange, the “Exchange”) shall occur if the Company receives stockholder approval at a special meeting thereof for the Exchange of the Additional Notes for the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, authorization from the NYSE American (together, the “Required Approvals”).

The Exchange Agreement provides for two pricing periods, the first of which shall commence after the date on which the Creditor receives the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Initial Exchange and ending on the date that is 90 days after receipt thereof, subject to extension as provided for in the Exchange Agreement, and the second of which shall commence on the date on which the Creditor receives the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Second Exchange and ending on the date that is 90 days after receipt thereof, in either case, unless earlier terminated by the Creditor by written notice.

The number of shares to be issued upon each Exchange will be equal to (x) the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Notes being exchanged multiplied by 1.35, divided by (y) the closing bid price effective on each date of an exchange notice, provided, however, that the Company shall theretofore have obtained the Required Approvals (the “Exchange Price”). The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to Creditor in connection with the applicable Exchange shall be adjusted on the Business Day immediately following the Pricing Period based upon the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock over the applicable Pricing Period (the “VWAP Shares”). VWAP Shares means the number of shares determined by dividing (x) the Exchange Amount of the applicable Exchange, multiplied by 1.1, by (y) the greater of (I) seventy-five percent (75.0%) of the VWAP of the Company’s common stock over the applicable Pricing Period, or (II) $0.30 per share.

Pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,832,597 shares of common stock at an average exercise price equal to $1.43 per share of common stock. The warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the date upon which the Company receives the Required Approvals therefor. In connection therewith, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the exercise of the warrants by the Creditor pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement. In the event that the Creditor does not purchase all of the Additional Notes, the Company shall have the option to acquire a portion of the warrants from the Creditor for an aggregate price of $1.00. Consequently, at June 30, 2020, since the Creditor had not purchased all of the Additional Notes, the option represented the right to acquire 1,562,399 of the warrants from the Creditor. Therefore, only 270,198 options are deemed outstanding at June 30, 2020.

The Company computed the fair value of the 270,198 warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, as a result of this calculation, recorded a loss on extinguishment in the amount of $232,177 based on the estimated fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The risk-free rate of 1.38% was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve, matching the term of the warrants, in effect at the measurement dates. The volatility factor of 86.31% was determined based on historical stock prices of similar technology companies. The Company, however, is prohibited from issuing the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants unless stockholder approval of such issuance of securities is obtained as required by applicable NYSE American listing rules. On July 8, 2020, the Company received stockholder approval of such share issuances.

Other Litigation Matters

 

Several non-trade creditors of the Company commenced litigation against the Company for payment of approximately $4.2 million of debt obligations not paid according to contractual terms. The Company has since repaid approximately $3.6 million of such debt obligations and entered into settlement agreements for the remaining amount of approximately $600,000 which are included within future receipts obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020. The Company also recorded approximately $400,000 of trade liabilities for a judgment settled in favor of a trade creditor as of June 30, 2020 and is currently a defendant in several other claims made by trade creditors in which the maximum loss exposure is currently estimated to be approximately $800,000.  The outcome of any matters relating to unresolved trade credit obligations cannot be predicted at this time.

Net Loss from Discontinued Operations

 

DuringAs a result of temporary closures of restaurants in San Diego County and the deteriorating business conditions at the Company’s restaurant businesses, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that discontinuing the operations of I.AM was ultimately in its best interest. Management determined that the permanent closing of the restaurant operations at I. AM, which owned and operated the Prep Kitchen brand restaurants located in the San Diego area, met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the restaurant operations are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. Additionally, on November 2, 2020, I.AM filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, case number 8:20-bk-13076. As a result of I.AM’s bankruptcy filing on November 2, 2020, Ault Global ceded authority for managing the permanent closingbusiness to the Bankruptcy Court. For this reason, we concluded that Ault Global had lost control of I.AM, and no longer had significant influence over I.AM.

Revenues

Our revenues increased by $253,935, or 2.4%, to $11,006,414 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $10,752,479 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase from the six months ended June 30, 2019, was caused by an increase in revenue from customized solutions for the military markets as we continue to experience the benefit of capital that was allocated to our defense business during the second half of 2019. The increase in revenue from the military markets was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our commercial lending segment, attributed to a reduction in our loan portfolio and our decision to cease operations at our cryptocurrency mining operations.

Revenues, cryptocurrency mining

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we ceased operations at Digital Farms. As a result, we did not generate any revenues from our cryptocurrency operations during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Gross Margins

Gross margins increased to 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 15.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our gross margins during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were affected by the negative margins on no revenues at Digital Farms. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms, then our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2020 would have been 34.1%, within our historical range of 33% and 37%.

Our gross margins of 15.4% recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019, was also impacted by the negative margins at Digital Farms. Excluding the effects of Digital Farms, our adjusted gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2019, would have been 28.9%, slightly less than our historical average as a result of lower revenues in our defense business to allocate manufacturing overhead during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Engineering and Product Development

Engineering and product development expenses decreased by $24,161 to $902,785 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $926,649 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in engineering and product development expenses is due to various costs, none of which are significant individually.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $633,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $799,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $166,669. This decrease was the result of decreases in personnel costs directly attributed to a reduction in sales and marketing personnel primarily at Coolisys.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $5,820,901 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $8,013,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $2,192,256. General and administrative expenses decreased from the comparative prior period, mainly due to lower stock compensation expense, other third party fees and travel related costs, which represented a significant decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2020 because of travel restrictions from COVID-19.

Loss from Continuing Operations

The Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of $3,699,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to an operating loss of $8,074,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in operating loss is mostly attributable to an increase in our gross margins and the decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Interest Income

Interest income was $36,256 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,748,464 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is related to a decrease in interest income pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement entered into on September 6, 2017, with AVLP, a related party. Due to the impaired status of the loan, no interest was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $2,048,877 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,631,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily related to a reduction of amortization of debt discount resulting from original issue discount from the issuance of warrants in conjunction with the sale of debt instruments. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as a result of these issuances, non-cash interest expense of $1,129,711 and $1,676,609, respectively, was recorded from the amortization of debt discount and debt financing costs.

Loss on issuance of warrants

We recognized a loss on issuance of warrants of $1,763,481 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, based upon the fair value of the warrants issued in our Offering in excess of the proceeds received from the Offering.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the fair value of the warrants that were issued in our Offering decreased by $946,825. 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.

Net Loss from Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2020, the permanent closing of the restaurant operations at I. AM met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. We determined that the assets of I. AM, primarily consisting of restaurant equipment and right-of-use assets related to I. AM’s operating leases, were impaired in the amount of $1,525,316. These impairment charges represented the majority of our net loss from discontinued operations of $1,697,744 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The remaining increase in our net loss from discontinued operations is attributed to an overall decline in revenues at the restaurants and general inefficiencies during the final months of operations.

Net Loss

For the foregoing reasons, our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $7,907,081 compared to a net loss of $10,769,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. After taking into consideration the loss attributable to the non-controlling interest of the minority shareholders of Microphase during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, of nil and $32,416, respectively, and preferred dividends of $7,394 and $7,153, respectively, the net loss available to common shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $7,914,475 and $10,744,660, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our reported net loss included non-cash charges of $3,023,387 and $4,060,412, respectively. A summary of these non-cash charges is as follows:

Other comprehensive income (loss)

Other comprehensive loss was $532,620 and $168,676, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which decreased our equity, was primarily due to unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities that we received as a result of our investment in Avalanche International, Corp., or AVLP, a related party, and from fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Israeli Shekel. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, unrealized losses in the warrant derivative securities of AVLP was the primary component of other comprehensive loss.

The decrease ofMarch 31, 2020 and reflects the net usage of cash from investing activities was primarily attributed to a decrease in related party investments.following transactions:

 

·Acquisition of Michigan Cloud Data Center - On January 29, 2021, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ault Alliance, closed on the acquisition of a 617,000 square foot energy-efficient facility located on a 34.5 acre site in southern Michigan for a purchase price of $3.9 million.

We agreed to fund $4 million upon execution of the securities purchase agreement and to fund the balance upon Alzamend achieving 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 Alzamend’s lithium based ionic cocrystal therapy, known as AL001.

The transaction was approved by our independent directors after receiving a third-party valuation report of Alzamend.

·Investment in Ault & Company, Inc. - On February 25, 2021, Ault & Company, a related party, sold and issued an 8% Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $2.5 million to us. The principal amount of the Secured Promissory Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest at a rate of 8% per annum, is due and payable on February 25, 2022.

·Executive Chairman relocation benefit - On February 23, 2021, as part of a relocation benefit for our Executive Chairman, Milton C. Ault, III, related to the moving of our corporate headquarters from Newport Beach, CA to Las Vegas, NV, we agreed to purchase Mr. Ault’s California residence for the appraised market value of the property of $2.7 million. The house was subsequently sold during April 2021 and no gain or loss was recognized from sale of the property.

 

Historically, we have financed our operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. During 2020, as reflected below,2021, we continued to successfully obtain additional equity financing. Net cash provided by financing activities was $119.9 million and debt financing$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and in restructuring existing debt.2020, respectively. Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily related to proceeds from the 2021 ATM offering. On January 22, 2021, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement, as amended on February 17, 2021 and thereafter on March 5, 2021 (the “2021 Sales Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, or the sales agent, relating to the sale of shares of Common Stock offered by a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as amended by the amendments to the sales agreement dated February 16, 2021 and March 5, 2021. In accordance with the terms of the 2021 Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million from time to time through the sales agent.

Esousa also agreed to purchase additional notes up to an additional principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest, of $3.5 million (collectively, the “Notes”). Pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement, Esousa has the unilateral right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the Notes. We anticipate that Esousa will in the second exchange acquire an additional $3.5 million of certain promissory notes and that this will be completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and will be required to raise additional capital to continue to support our working capital requirements. We have been successful over the last 12 months in raising capital to support our working capital requirements. We anticipate that we will continue to raise capital through public and private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtailbelieve our current operationscash on hand is sufficient to meet its operating and take additional measures to reduce costs expenses, including reducing our workforce, eliminating outside consultants, ceasing or reducing our due diligence of potential future acquisitions, includingcapital requirements for at least the associated legal fees, in order to conserve cash in order to sustain operations and meet our obligations.

Based onnext twelve months from the above, these matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and amounts reported in ourdate the financial statements do not reflect the effects of any adjustments to the carrying amounts of our assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 are issued.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments

In our Annual Report on Form 10-Kaccordance with ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the year endedsale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

The guidance also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

We assess 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.

The Company’s investments in AVLP, a related party controlled by Philou, an affiliate of the Company, consist of convertible promissory notes, derivative instruments and shares of AVLP common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we identified2020, the critical accounting policiesCompany has provided loans to AVLP in the principal amount $13,924,136 and, in addition to the 12% convertible promissory notes, AVLP has issued to the Company warrants to purchase 27,858,272 shares of AVLP common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years. Management used both a market and income approach to quantify the carrying amount of the convertible notes, including credit risk. The market approach considered the fair value of AVLP’s common stock adjusted for a lack of marketability discount and the time value of money based on expectation as to the timing of a potential liquidity event which could affect our more significant estimatesthe timing of a settlement of the convertible notes. The income approach was primarily based on a discounted cash flow analysis with assumptions regarding forecasted revenues, operating margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate to compute the net present value of such cash flows.

In determining the revenue and expense assumptions that were used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.  The basisthe discounted cash flow analysis, the Company considered the disruptive nature of AVLP’s Multiplex Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE”) plasma-laser system, the size of the market for developing the estimatestreatment of textiles, customer demand, existing treatment methods, the performance capabilities of the MLSE system and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical informationthe risk of business execution and known current trends and factors.  The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within our expectations.  We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.the adoption of AVLP’s disruptive technology.

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, 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, 2019,2020, the end of its most recent fiscal year.

 

Specifically, management has determined that we do not have sufficient resources to ensure an appropriate level of segregation of duties in our accounting function, we have inadequate controlswhich restricts our ability to ensure thatgather, analyze and properly review information necessaryrelated to properly record transactions is adequately communicatedfinancial reporting, including applying complex accounting principles relating to consolidation accounting and we didfair value estimates, in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not design or maintain effective general information technology controls over certain information systems that are relevant to the mitigation of the risk pertaining to the misappropriation of assets.always be possible and may not be economically feasible.

 

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, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Audit Committee, has identified the measures below to strengthen our control environment and internal control over financial reporting.

 

On August 19, 2020, Mr. Horne resigned as our Chief Financial Officer and was appointed our President, and later became our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Cragun, who had served as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer since October 1, 2018, succeeded Mr. Horne as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. In January 2018, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer and engaged the services of a financial accounting advisory firm. In September 2018, we hired a Chief Accounting Officer and in January 2019, we hired a Senior Vice President of Finance. Finally, inIn May 2019, we hired an Executive Vice President and General Counsel, who later became our President and General Counsel. We haveFinally, in January 2021, we hired a Director of Reporting. These individuals were tasked these individuals with expanding and monitoring the Company’s internal controls, to provide an additional level of review of complex financial issues and to assist with financial reporting. On October 7, 2019, we created an Executive Committee which is currently comprised of our Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and General Counsel.President. The Executive Committee meets on a daily basis to address the Company’s critical needs and provides a forum to approve transactions.transactions which are communicated to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance on a bi-weekly basis by our Chief Executive Officer, who also reviews all of the Company’s material transactions and reviews the financial performance of each of our subsidiaries. On December 16, 2020, in consultation with the Chairman of the Audit Committee, we engaged a professional services firm to review management’s assessment of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to identify internal control process improvement opportunities. These changes have improved and simplified our internal processes and resulted in enhanced controls. While these changes have improved and simplified our internal processes and resulted in enhanced controls, these enhancements have not been operating for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Further, as we continue to expand our internal accounting department, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall perform the following:

 

·assistsassist with documentation and implementation of policies and procedures and monitoring of controls, and

 

·reviewsreview all anticipated transactions that are not considered in the ordinary course of business to assist in the early identification of accounting issues and ensure that appropriate disclosures are made in the Company’s financial statements

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, the Company believeswe 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, the Company'sour 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 20202021 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.

The Complaint alleged violations of state law and breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and gross mismanagement by the individual defendants, in connection with various transactions entered into by us.

We moved to dismiss the Complaint, and on February 25, 2019, the Court granted our motion to dismiss, in its entirety, without prejudice, and also granted Plaintiffs leave to amend their Complaint. 

On March 11, 2019, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting violations of breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment claims based on the previously pled transactions (the “Amended Complaint”).

On March 25, 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss (the “Motion”) the Amended Complaint. On May 21, 2019, the Court granted in part, and denied in part, our Motion. On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Plaintiffs to settle the claims asserted in the Amended Complaint.

On April 15, 2020, the Court issued an Order (the “Order”) approving a Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement in the Derivative Action. On July 16, 2020, the Court issued an Order (the “Final Order”) approving a Motion for Final Approval of Settlement in the Derivative Action filed against DPW as a Nominal Defendant and its directors who served on its board of directors on July 31, 2018 who were not dismissed from the action as a result of the Court’s partial grant of the Motion.

On July 16, 2020, the Court entered a Judgment based upon the Final Order.

Under the terms of the Final Order, the Board shall adopt and/or maintain certain resolutions and amendments to the Company’s committee charters and/or bylaws, to ensure adherence to certain corporate governance policies (collectively, the “Reforms”). The Final Order further provides that such Reforms shall remain in effect for a period of no less than five (5) years and shall be subject to any of the following: (a) a determination by a majority of the independent directors that the Reforms are no longer in the best interest of the Company, including, but not limited to, due to circumstances making the Reforms no longer applicable, feasible, or available on commercially reasonable terms, or (b) modifications which the Company reasonably believes are required by applicable law or regulation.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed upon a payment of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $600,000, which sum shall be payable by our Director & Officer liability insurance. The Settlement Agreement contains no admission of wrongdoing.

We have always maintained and continue to believe that neither we nor our current or former directors engaged in any wrongdoing or otherwise committed any violation of federal or state securities laws or any other laws or regulations.ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Subpoena

 

The Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the voluntary production of documents. The Company is fully cooperating with this non-public, fact-finding inquiry and Managementmanagements believe that the Company has operated ourits business in compliance with all applicable laws. The subpoena expressly provides 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 it 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

 

Several non-trade creditors of the Company commenced litigation against the Company for payment of approximately $4.2 million of debt obligations not paid according to contractual terms. The Company has since repaid approximately $3.6 million of such debt obligations and entered into settlement agreements for the remaining amount of approximately $600,000 which are included within future receipts obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020. The Company also recorded approximately $400,000 of trade liabilities for a judgment settled in favor of a trade creditor as of June 30, 2020 and is currently a defendant in several other claims made by trade creditors in which the maximum loss exposure is currently estimated to be approximately $800,000.  The outcome of any matters relating to unresolved trade credit obligations cannot be predicted at this time.

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. 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

ITEM 1A.         RISK FACTORS

 

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 20192020 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 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in all material respects.
