DOMINARI
HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments
Organization and Description of Business
Dominari Holdings Inc. (the “Company”),
formerly Aikido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company operated as a biotechnology company
with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. The Company is in
the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology assets held by Dominari Labs, LLC (formerly Aikido Labs, LLC). In
an effort to enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial
Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology
to the fintech and financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari
Securities”), an introducing broker- dealer, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an
investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities is also licensed to
provide investment advisory services and annuity and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent
and affiliated brokers.
On September 9, 2022, Dominari Financial entered
into a membership interest purchase agreement, as amended and restated on March 27, 2023 (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”) with
Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Seller”), a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fieldpoint
Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“FPS”), that is a broker-dealer, a member of FINRA and an
investment adviser registered with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement, Dominari Financial purchased from the
Seller 100 % of the membership interests in FPS (the “Membership Interests”). The registered broker-dealer and investment adviser
businesses will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial. The FPS Purchase Agreement provided for Dominari Financials’
acquisition of FPS’ Membership Interests in two closings, the first of which occurred on October 4, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”),
at which Dominari Financial paid to the Seller $ 2.0 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial 20 % of
the FPS Membership Interests. Following the Initial Closing, FPS filed a continuing membership application requesting approval for a change
of ownership, control, or business operations with FINRA in accordance with FINRA Rule 1017 (the “Rule 1017 Application”).
The Rule 1017 Application was approved by FINRA on March 20, 2023. The second closing occurred on March 27, 2023. Dominari Financial paid
to the Seller an additional $ 1.4 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial of the remaining 80 % of the
Membership Interests. As a result of the ownership change, FPS was renamed Dominari Securities LLC.
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into
two separate Limited Liability Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IM LLC (“Investment Manager”),
which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Dominari Holdings Inc. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited liability
company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager was named
the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master SPV. Beginning
in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose of making
investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such Series
by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside
third-party investors.
On May 21, 2024, Dominari Financial and Heritage
Strategies LLC (“HS”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of Dominari
Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The JV Agreement governs the operation of DFHS, including the distributions to
the members of DFHS upon the offer, sale and renewal of various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement
insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. Pursuant to the
terms of the JV Agreement, Dominari Financial and HS are the co-managing members (the “Co-Managing Members”), each with fifty
percent ( 50 %) ownership interests in DFHS. Revenues from the sale of the various insurance products and services after deducting general
and administrative costs are distributed to the Co-Managing Members as set forth in the JV Agreement.
6
On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into two
Limited Liability Agreements with American Ventures Management LLC (“AV Manager”) and American Ventures IM LLC (“AV
Investment Manager”). The Company holds a ninety percent ( 90 %) Membership Interest in each, and their operations are included within
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dominari Holdings Inc. AV Manager was named as the manager of American Ventures
LLC (the “AV Master SPV”), a series limited liability company formed by AV Manager and owned by the investors of each fund
series, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the AV Master SPV. AV Investment Manager was named the investment manager
of the AV Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the AV Master SPV. AV Manager and AV
Investment Manager are the managing members of AV Master SPV and may not be removed without their respective consent. The other members
of AV Master SPV are the passive investing members of each series of funds (the “AV Series”) established under the AV Master
SPV. The AV Manager established various AV Series of the AV Master SPV for the purpose of making investments in companies identified by
the AV Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such AV Series by the AV Master SPV to investors,
in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside third-party investors.
Note 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company monitors its liquidity position on
a regular basis. The Company continues to incur significant ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses,
while the Company continues to implement its business strategy. The Company intends to fund its activities through cash flows from investments
and financing activities along with managing current cash on hand and other liquid assets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has approximately
$ 5.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $ 170.8 million of marketable securities. Included in marketable securities is $ 156.4 million
related to American Bitcoin shares that is subject to a lock-up period until March 1, 2026 ( See Note 5) along with approximately $ 1.2
million of marketable securities that are subject to lock-up periods that will end in November 2025 and another $ 4.0 million of marketable
securities with lock-up periods that will end by March 1, 2026 as well. Additionally, the Company had approximately $ 28.9 million in receivable
from clearing brokers. Unless otherwise noted, all such funds are available to fund the Company’s operations. Additionally, the
Company’s working capital balance at September 30, 2025, totaled $ 198.8 million. Based upon projected cash flow requirements, the
Company has adequate cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations to fund
its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant
accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and
in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2025 and 2024, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited,
but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim
period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited financial statements; however,
it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s policy is to consolidate
all entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the membership interest or outstanding voting stock. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dominari Labs LLC
(formerly, Aikido Labs LLC), Dominari Financial Inc., Dominari IM LLC, Dominari Manager LLC and Dominari Securities along with American
Ventures IM LLC and American Ventures Manager LLC, both of which are owned 90 % by the Company. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
7
Joint Ventures
On May 21, 2024, the Company entered into a limited
liability company operating agreement to form Dominari Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The Company has a 50 % interest
in DFHS. The purpose of DFHS is to sell various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement insurance,
group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. The Company has determined it
is not the primary beneficiary of DFH and thus will not consolidate the activities in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company will account for its interest in DFHS under the equity method accounting in accordance with ASC 323. As of September 30, 2025,
there has been no material activity in DFHS.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant
estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation of investments, the valuation of notes receivable, valuation
of non-cash consideration received, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s
estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably
possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from
those estimates and assumptions.
Receivable from Clearing Brokers
Receivable from Dominari Securities’ clearing
brokers totaling $ 28.9 million consisted of approximately $ 23.9 million of liquid insured deposits, $ 4.5 million of commissions receivable,
and $ 0.5 million in good faith deposits maintained by the Company with its clearing brokers as of September 30, 2025. Receivable from
Dominari Securities’ clearing brokers consisted of approximately $ 15.4 million of liquid insured deposits, $ 1.3 million of commissions
receivable and $ 0.6 million of good faith deposits maintained by the Company with its clearing brokers as of December 31, 2024. Such amount
is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of its clearing brokers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the
collectability of specific accounts: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry
trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely
affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company
provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024 an allowance for credit losses was not deemed necessary.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC
842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating
or financing leases and are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability,
calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized
over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line
rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset
results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred (see Note 8 - Leases ).
8
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 -
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) . Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods
or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the
Company’s revenue from contracts with customers:
● Underwriting services include
underwriting and private placement agent services in both the public and private equity and debt capital markets, including private equity
placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, and underwriting and distributing public and private debt. Underwriting and
placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the underwriting
offering at that point. The Company expenses any costs associated with underwriting transactions and they are recorded on a gross basis
within the general and administrative line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as the Company is acting
as a principal in the arrangement. The Company applies the practical expedient under ASC 606 and expenses these costs immediately, as
any such costs would by amortized in one year or less. The Company also provides investment banking services. Investment banking services
typically include fees earned for acting as a financial advisor for mergers and acquisitions or similar transactions. These services
provided by the Company are not distinct from the potential transaction that may occur. Due to this, the Company believes the performance
obligation for providing investment banking services is satisfied when the earliest occurs (i) termination of the engagement letter,
(ii) expiration of engagement letter or (iii) successful transaction has occurred.
Any non-cash consideration earned by the Company
in providing the aforementioned services is recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, on the date that revenue is recognized.
Similarly, any commissions or compensation expense from providing non-cash consideration provided to employees as is recognized at fair
value in accordance with ASC 820 on the same date.
● Commissions are earned by executing
transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related, and debt products. Commission revenue associated with trade execution are
recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commissions revenue are generally paid on settlement date and the Company records receivables
to account for timing between trade-date and payment on settlement date and are included in receivable from clearing brokers on the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
● Account advisory and management
fees are two revenue streams which are both recognized over time. Please see further description below:
● The Company earns revenue for
performing account advisory and investment advisory services for customers based on contractually fixed rates applied, as a percentage,
to the market value of assets in a customer’s account. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration
only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur, or
when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The performance obligation for investment advisory services
is considered a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and are satisfied each day of the contract and are recognized
as revenue over time. Investment advisory fees are payable in arrears on a quarterly basis.
● Management fees represent asset-based
fees received in exchange for providing management services to certain related party pooled investment vehicles (funds). These fees are
charged based upon contractually fixed rates applied, as a percentage, to the total assets of those pooled investment vehicles managed
by the Company at the date upon which an investor subscribes into the fund, and subsequently deferred. The Company recognizes these revenues
over time as the Company has determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the management services
as they are provided. Revenues are typically recognized over a period of five years, which the Company has estimated to be a reasonable
estimate of the period during which the Company shall provide management services.
9
● Contract liabilities relate
to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are the result of remaining performance obligations for management
services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenues when the Company provides ongoing investment management services. As of September
30, 2025, the Company recognized $ 4.0 million of contract liabilities of which $ 0.8 million is expected to be recognized within a year.
The remaining balance is expected to be recognized through 2030. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $ 1.1 million of contract
liabilities of which $ 0.2 million was expected to be recognized within a year. The remaining balance is expected to be recognized through
2030. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $ 0.3 million that was included in contract liabilities
as of December 31, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $ 0.2 million that was included
in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024. There was no revenue associated with contract liabilities recognized during the period
ended September 30, 2024.
● Carried interest fees are earned
based on performance of the vehicle during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels, or high-water marks, in accordance
with the respective terms set out in each vehicle’s governing agreements. Carried interest is a form of variable consideration
in the Company’s contracts with investment management customers and is fully constrained at contract inception. Carried interest
fees are not recognized as revenue until (a) it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized
will not occur, or (b) the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Carried Interest
Fees are typically recognized as revenue when realized at the end of the measurement period. Once realized, such fees are not subject
to claw back or reversal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized carried interest of $ 19.2 million.
● Other revenue includes amounts
recognized over time and at a point in time. Amounts recognized over time are recognized ratably over the period that such services are
provided which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. Types of other revenue include trailing fees for mutual funds
12b-1, variable annuity, fixed annuities, and insurance products. These trailing fees are paid by product partners for ongoing services
and/or advice provided to underlying investor accounts. Trailing fees are recognized as income when earned, usually monthly or quarterly
as net asset value is determined. As the value of the eligible assets in an advisory account is susceptible to changes due to customer
activity, this revenue includes variable consideration and is constrained until the date that the fees are determinable.
Long-term equity investments
The Company accounts for long-term equity investments
under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments-Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”). In
accordance with ASC 321, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market
prices. Any equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are included within marketable securities on the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheet. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at net asset
value or using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investments are measured at cost, less any impairment,
if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment
of the same issuer.
Warrant Investments
Warrant fair values are primarily determined using
a Black Scholes option pricing model, which include the underlying stock price, warrant strike price, expected remaining term, volatility,
and risk-free rate as the primary inputs to the model. Increases or decreases in any of these inputs could result in a material change
in fair value. Additionally, for warrants that have periods of contractual trading restrictions, marketability discounts were considered
in determining fair value.
● The underlying stock price is equal to the closing price
of the underlying stock as of the measurement date.
● The expected remaining term is equal to the time to expiration
of the warrant investment.
● Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the
size of the changes in the warrant investment price.
● The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury
yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond
closest to the expected remaining term of the warrant investment.
● Marketability discounts are applied for warrants that have
sales restrictions (or lock up periods). These discounts are calculated using a combination of the Finnerty Model and the Asian Put Model
using a term equal to the period of such restriction.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard requires all entities subject to income
taxes to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information
on income taxes paid. The new requirement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied
on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating
the effects this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,
“Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” This ASU requires that each interim
and annual reporting period, an entity discloses more information about the components of certain expense captions that is currently disclosed
in the financial statements. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is
permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effect of new accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future
periods
The Company reviewed all other recently issued
accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investment in American Bitcoin Corp.
On February 18, 2025, the Company announced the
creation of American Data Centers Inc. (“ADC”), a strategic venture focused on acquiring, building out and transforming data
center campuses across the United States to meet the accelerated demand for advanced computing.
On March 31, 2025, ADC completed a series of transactions (“Transactions”),
wherein ADC, Hut 8 Corp., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries (“Hut 8”), contributed to ADC substantially
all of Hut 8’s wholly owned ASIC bitcoin miners in exchange for newly issued stock representing 80 % of the issued and outstanding
equity interests of ADC. At the closing of the Transactions, ADC changed its name to American Bitcoin Corp. (“American Bitcoin”).
In connection with the Transactions, American Bitcoin and Hut 8 entered into definitive agreements for Hut 8 to provide exclusive management
back-office operational and ASIC colocation services to American Bitcoin. As a result of the Transactions, American Bitcoin became a subsidiary
of Hut 8 in which the Company held a 3.17 % minority interest in American Bitcoin represented by 23,199,205 shares of common stock. The
Company also entered into a lock-up agreement (“Lock-Up Agreement) restricting the Company’s sale of any shares owned, until
a pre-determined amount of time after any merger or other go-public events of American Bitcoin.
On June 27, 2025, American Bitcoin consummated a private placement
pursuant to which it raised gross proceeds of approximately $ 220 million from the sale of American Bitcoin’s Class A common stock
at a per share purchase price of $ 20 (the “Private Placement”) for which Dominari Securities acted as placement agent. The
Class A and Class B common stock had the same rights, powers and privileges and were identical in all respects as to all matters. As a
result of the Private Placement, the Company held an approximate 2.6 % minority interest in American Bitcoin and adjusted the carrying
value of its 1.6 million shares of American Bitcoin’s Class B common stock, which was exchangeable with the Class A common stock
on a one for one basis, to $ 32.0 million at June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of the American Bitcoin investment
was recorded within the long-term equity investments caption of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inc. (NASDAQ:GRYP), a bitcoin mining company that offers carbon-neutral bitcoin mining and digital mining operations, entered into a definitive
merger agreement with American Bitcoin Corp. to form a combined company that would operate under the brand American Bitcoin and be led
by the board of directors of American Bitcoin and would be listed for trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “ABTC”. As
part of the Merger, a 14.4995-for-1 stock split was completed, resulting in the Company receiving 23,199,205 shares of ABTC common stock.
ABTC began trading on NASDAQ for $ 8.00 per share, on September 3, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company valued its investment in ABTC
using the quoted market price of $ 6.74 per share resulting in a fair value of approximately $ 156.4 million, recorded within the marketable
securities caption of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the entire associated unrealized gain of $ 156.4 million

of September 30, 2025, the Company maintained the note as uncollectible and fully written off.
13
Note 7. Fair Value of Financial
Assets and Liabilities
Financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market
for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use
of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses three levels of inputs that may
be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable
(for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant
management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the
fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that
is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
Warrants
Included in the September 30, 2025 warrants in
level 2 financial assets that were acquired in connection with fees related to the Company’s underwriting services is approximately
$ 1.2 million of warrants for purchasing shares in publicly traded that are subject to lock-up periods that will end in November 2025 and
another $ 4.0 million of warrants for purchasing shares in publicly traded companies with lock-up periods that will end by March 1, 2026.
The fair value of these warrants was measured considering the lock-up periods and applying a discount for lack of marketability (DLOM).
The DLOM calculation incorporated observable inputs including each company’s historical volatility, applicable treasury rates, and
the remaining duration of the lock-up period.
Notes Receivable at fair value
As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the
notes receivable was measured taking into consideration cost basis, market participant inputs, market conditions, liquidity, operating
results and other qualitative and quantitative factors.
The following table presents the Company’s
assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per share of common stock
is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that
it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock as of the first day of the period.
The calculation of the Company’s diluted number of shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is as follows:

Warrants to purchase 357,198 shares of common
stock were outstanding during the three- and nine-months period ended September 30, 2025 that were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. As of September 30, 2025, 253,670
warrants expire in February 2026 and 103,528 warrants expire in February 2027. All such warrants were still outstanding at the end of
September 30, 2025.
Options to purchase 10,036,333 shares
of common stock that were outstanding during the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2025 were not included in the computation
of diluted EPS because either the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares or those where the exercise
price was below the average market price of the common shares were antidilutive. These options, which expire between August 2026 in February
2035, were still outstanding at the end of September 30, 2025.
Securities that could potentially dilute loss
per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30,
2024 included 34 shares of convertible preferred stock, 444,796 warrants to purchase common stock, 40,000 shares of restricted stock awards,
and 419,988 stock options totaling to 904,818 shares.
Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity and Convertible
Preferred Stock
Common Stock
As of September 30, 2025, 15,817,323 shares of
common stock were issued and outstanding.
On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into
securities purchase agreements with certain accredited investors for the sale by the Company of 1,439,467 registered shares of its common
stock, and the same amount of unregistered Series A warrants and unregistered Series B warrants were issued at a combined purchase price
of $ 3.47 per share and accompanying warrants in a direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company entered into securities
purchase agreements with certain accredited investors for the sale of 2,436,587 unregistered shares of common stock, and the same amount
of unregistered Series A warrants and unregistered Series B warrants were issued at a combined purchase price of $ 3.47 per share and accompanying
warrants (the “February 2025 Financings”). The Series A warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise
price of $ 3.72 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Series B warrants are exercisable immediately upon
issuance at an exercise price of $ 4.22 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The net proceeds to the Company
from the February 2025 Financings were approximately $ 13.5 million.
On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into
advisory agreements with various individuals who were issued shares of common stock. The agreements are for a term of two years but are
cancellable by either party. As part of these agreements, 2,550,000 shares of common stock were issued on February 18, 2025. An additional
850,000 shares may be issued under the terms of the agreements when certain provisions are met, which as of the date of grant is probable.
These shares are nonforfeitable and thus were fully expensed by the Company at the time of grant. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation
to calculate the grant date fair value of the common stock. The fair value of issued shares amounted to $ 20.9 million and is presented
in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The securities
in the concurrent private placement were offered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and,
along with the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws. Accordingly, the unregistered shares, the warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

of the Company’s advisory board participated in the February 2025 Financings on the same terms as the other investors.
During the period April 1, 2025 to September 30,
2025 warrants were exercised by various individuals resulting in additional common stock issuance of 1,173,429 shares generating cash

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to certain legal and
other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries may be named in and subject
to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration
claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims may seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages.
The Company and its subsidiaries may also be subject to other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory
organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions,
and other relief. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims the Company cannot state with
certainty what the eventual outcome of potential litigation or other claims will be.
In March 2024, the Company received a notice of
petition of a filed action seeking relief related to the hiring in March 2024 of new registered representatives from the representatives’
former employer. This notice was filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Dominari Securities. The Company does not agree with the
plaintiff’s claims. While the Company intends to defend itself vigorously from this claim, it is unable to predict the outcome of
such legal proceeding. Any potential loss as a result of this legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company
has not recorded a loss contingency for the aforementioned claim.
In the past, in the ordinary course of business,
the Company actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of the Company’s
technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company is not aware of any material, active or pending
legal proceedings brought against it.
Note 13. Regulatory
Dominari Securities, the Company’s broker-dealer
subsidiary, is registered with the SEC as an introducing broker-dealer and is a member of FINRA. The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary
is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio
of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. As such, the subsidiary is subject to the minimum
net capital requirements promulgated by the SEC and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the basic method permitted
by Rule 15c3-1. As of September 30, 2025, Dominari Securities had net capital of approximately $ 15.8 million in excess of net capital
requirement of $ 0.7 million.

Note 15. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of
an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”),
who is the Chief Executive Officer , in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The CODM
reviews financial information for the purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance
of the business of the reportable operating segments, based on discrete financial information. The measures of segment profitability that
are most relied upon by the CODM are gross revenues and net loss.
The Company operates in two reportable business
segments: (1) Dominari Financial and (2) Legacy AIkido. The Dominari Financial reportable business segment represents the Company’s
broker-dealer business, which is composed of mostly underwriting and transactional service activities. The Legacy AIkido reportable business
segment includes Dominari Labs (formerly Aikido Labs), which manages the investments holdings of the legacy entity. Prior to the FPS Acquisition,
the Company operated as a single operating segment comprised of Legacy AIkido.
The CODM has access to and regularly reviews
internal financial reporting for each business and uses that information to make operational decisions and allocate resources. Accounting
policies applied by the reportable segments are the same as those used by the Company and described in the “ Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies. ”

Note 16. Income Taxes
The Company recorded no income tax expense for
the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero . In determining the estimated
annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings and
taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits
and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024,
the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than
not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted
on July 4, 2025. The Company has evaluated whether OBBBA has a material impact on its 2025 unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. The only provision of OBBBA that impacts the Company’s income tax accounting under ASC740 is the new IRC. Sec. 174A,
which permanently allows taxpayers to fully expense domestic research or experimental (R&E) expenditures paid or incurred in taxable
years beginning after December 31, 2024. The requirement to capitalize foreign Sec. 174 expenses over 15 years has not changed. On August
28, 2025, the IRS released procedural guidance (Rev. Proc. 2025-28) for implementing Section 174A and related elections for domestic
research or experimental expenditures. Transition rules provide taxpayers with options to account for any remaining unamortized domestic
R&E expenditures paid or incurred in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, and before January 1, 2025. Taxpayers may continue
to amortize such unamortized amounts over the remaining five-year period; alternatively, they may elect to deduct any remaining unamortized
domestic R&E expenditures either entirely in the first tax year beginning after December 31, 2024, or ratably over two taxable years
(e.g., 2025 or ratably in 2025 and 2026). The Company plans to elect to deduct the remaining unamortized costs entirely in 2025. As of
December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $ 415,000 of remaining unamortized domestic R&D expenditures eligible for immediate
deduction, representing approximately $ 119,000 of its December 31, 2024 gross Deferred Tax Assets. The impact of deducting these costs
is reclassifying approximately $ 119,000 from Capitalized Sec. 174 to Net Operating Loss Carryforward, with zero net impact on the Company’s
gross deferred tax assets or effective tax rate.

and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read this discussion together with
the Financial Statements, related Notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. All references to “we,”
“us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Dominari Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly
Report”) contains statements that the Company believes are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to expectations
for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for the Company’s business. These statements are based on
the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations
reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot provide assurance that it will achieve or realize
these plans, intentions or expectations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not
guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.
When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,”
“could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,”
“plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,”
“should,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may
identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All subsequent
written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this
paragraph. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except
as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of a number of known and
unknown risks and uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results or performance
may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Overview
Dominari Holdings Inc. (“Dominari”)
is a holding company that, through its various subsidiaries, is engaged in wealth management, investment banking, sales and trading, asset
management and insurance. In addition to capital investment, Dominari provides management support to the executive teams of its subsidiaries,
helping them to operate efficiently and reduce cost under a streamlined infrastructure. Dominari and its subsidiaries are collectively
referred to herein as “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us.”
Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Holdings Inc., executes the Company’s growth strategy in the financial services industry.
In addition to organic growth, Dominari Financial seeks partnership opportunities and acquisitions of third-party financial assets such
as registered investment advisors and businesses, broker dealers, asset management and fintech firms, and insurance brokers. Our first
transaction in furtherance of our growth in the financial services industry, the acquisition of 100% of a dually registered broker dealer
and investment advisor from Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Fieldpoint”), was consummated on March 27, 2023. The newly
acquired dually registered broker-dealer and investment adviser was renamed Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”)
and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial.
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into
two separate Limited Liability Company Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IMLLC (“Investment
Manager”) which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Dominari. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited
liability company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager
was named the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master
SPV. Beginning in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose
of making investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in
such Series by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series
alongside third-party investors.
On May 21, 2024, Dominari Financial and Heritage
Strategies LLC (“HS”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of Dominari
Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The JV Agreement governs the operation of DFHS, including the distributions to
the members of DFHS upon the offer, sale and renewal of various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement
insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. Pursuant to the
terms of the JV Agreement, Dominari Financial and HS are the co-managing members (the “Co-Managing Members”), each with fifty
percent (50%) ownership interests in DFHS. Revenues from the sale of the various insurance products and services after deducting general
and administrative costs are distributed to the Co-Managing Members as set forth in the JV Agreement.
26
On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into two
Limited Liability Agreements with American Ventures Management LLC (“AV Manager”) and American Ventures IM LLC (“AV
Investment Manager”) and was assigned ninety percent (90%) Membership Interest in each, which are both ninety percent (90%) majority
owned subsidiaries of the Company and whose operations are included within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Dominari Holdings Inc. AV Manager was named as the manager of American Ventures LLC (the “AV Master SPV”), a series limited
liability company formed by AV Manager and owned by the investors of each fund series, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations
of the AV Master SPV. AV Investment Manager was named the investment manager of the AV Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment
advice and decisions on behalf of the AV Master SPV. AV Manager and AV Investment Manager are the managing members of AV Master SPV and
may not be removed without their respective consent. The other members of AV Master SPV are the passive investing members of each series
of funds (the “AV Series”) established under the AV Master SPV. The AV Manager established various AV Series of the AV Master
SPV for the purpose of making investments in companies identified by the AV Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of
non-voting interests in such AV Series by the AV Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate,
also invest in such series alongside third-party investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
In addition to our critical accounting estimates
as compared to the critical accounting estimates discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10- K, the Company considers the
valuation of its warrants as a critical accounting estimate included in the September 30,
2025 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as follows:
Warrant Investments
Warrant fair values are primarily determined using
a Black Scholes option pricing model, which include the underlying stock price, warrant strike price, expected remaining term, volatility,
and risk-free rate as the primary inputs to the model. Increases or decreases in any of these inputs could result in a material change
in fair value. Additionally, for warrants that have periods of contractual trading restrictions, marketability discounts were considered
in determining fair value.
● The underlying stock price is equal to the closing price
of the underlying stock as of the measurement date.
● The expected remaining term is equal to the time to expiration
of the warrant investment.
● Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the
size of the changes in the warrant investment price.
● The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury
yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond
closest to the expected remaining term of the warrant investment.
● Marketability discounts are applied for warrants that have
sales restrictions (or lock up periods). These discounts are calculated using a combination of the Finnerty Model and the Asian Put Model
using a term equal to the period of such restriction.
Refer to Note 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
a discussion of our significant accounting policies.

for a discussion of recent accounting standards.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2024
During the three months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024, we recognized approximately $50.8 million and $4.0 million in revenue from operations, respectively. The increase in 2025 was
primarily driven by the increase in commissions of $7.7 million and underwriting revenue of $30.8 million earned by Dominari Securities
and Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) along with $8.7 million earned in carried interest for the three months ended September
30, 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded net income of approximately $126.1 million and during the three
months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of approximately $4.2 million. The change in net income from operations was primarily
driven by increases in revenue and other income (see discussion below on marketable securities and long-term equity investments), and
was offset by increases in general and administrative costs and expenses, specifically increases in commissions expense and stock-based
compensation expense.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025,
other income was approximately $127.7 million and the Company recorded an other expense of $1.0 million, for the comparable period in
2024.
The activity described above for the three months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, is primarily a result of the Company’s continued increase in activities related to the financial
services industry, overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty impacting marketable securities and the
change in carrying value of long-term equity investments. Specifically:
i.
Marketable securities - We recognized net gains of approximately $159.1 on marketable securities during the quarter primarily driven by an unrealized gain of $156.4 million from the investment in American Bitcoin Corp. (“ABTC”) along with gains recorded on investments in Skyline Builders Group Holdings Ltd. and JFB Construction Holdings. In September 2025, ABTC became publicly listed on the Nasdaq (Ticker: ABTC) and accordingly, the ABTC investment was reclassified from long term equity investments to marketable securities.
ii.
Long-term equity investments – During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a reduction of $32.0 million in our long-term equity investments reflecting the reclassification of the American Bitcoin Corp investment to marketable securities which was valued at $32.0 million at June 30, 2025.
Nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 2024
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
and 2024, we recognized approximately $93.0 million and $ 11.6 million in revenue from operations, respectively. The increase was primarily
driven by the increase in commission revenues of $11.3 million and underwriting revenue of $51.5 million earned by Dominari Securities
and Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) along with $19.2 million earned in carried interest for the nine months ended September
30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, we recorded net income of $111.2 million and a net loss of approximately
$15.8 million respectively. The change in net income was primarily driven by increases in revenues of $81.4 million and other income of
$164.8 million offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $53.7 million, and commission expenses of $60.4 million as
compared to the comparable period in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other income (expenses) were approximately
$164.8 million and ($7.0 million), respectively (see discussion below on marketable securities and long-term equity investments).
28
The activity described above for the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, is primarily a result of the Company’s continued increase in activities related to the financial
services industry, along with macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility impacting marketable securities. Specifically:
i.
Marketable securities - We recognized gains of approximately $163.1 million on marketable securities, which includes $156.4 million gain from the Company’s investment in ABTC (see discussion above) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This represents an increase of approximately $162.3 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
ii.
Notes receivable - We recognized $0.2 million unrealized gain over the nine months ended September 30, 2025, versus $2.0 million loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, on notes receivable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to incur ongoing administrative and
other expenses, including public company expenses. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities
through:
● managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from our
past debt and equity offerings;
● managing current marketable securities and other investments
on hand ;
● seeking additional funds raised
through the sale of additional securities in the future; and
● seeking additional liquidity
through credit facilities or other debt arrangements.
Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability
to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our business may require significant amounts of capital to
sustain operations that we need to execute our longer-term business plan to support our transition into the financial services industry.
Our working capital amounted to approximately $198.8 million as of September 30, 2025. Included in working capital is $156.4 million
related to American Bitcoin shares that is subject to a lock-up period until March 1, 2026. as well as another $1.2 million of warrants
for purchasing shares in publicly traded that are subject to lock-up periods that will end in November 2025 and an additional $4.0 million
of warrants for purchasing shares in publicly traded companies with lock-up periods that will end by March 1, 2026. We believe our cash
and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In the event that cash flow from operations is
not sufficient to fund our operations, as expected, or if our plans or assumptions change, including if inflation begins to have a greater
impact on our business or if we decide to move forward with any activities that require more outlays of cash than originally planned,
we may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected. We may raise this additional capital by obtaining additional debt or equity
financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience
significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly traded company or from continuing operations.
29
Our ability to obtain capital to implement our
growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability
of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the
global financial markets, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Specifically, as a result of recent volatility and
weakness in the public markets, due to, among other factors, uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, it may be much more
difficult to raise additional capital, if and when it is needed, unless the public markets become less volatile and stronger at such time
that we seek to raise additional capital. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest
rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance
of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
The following table summarizes our net cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025
we used $4.0 million in operations as compared to cash flow use of $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is primarily attributable to increases in receivable from
clearing brokers of $11.6 million, increase in accrued commissions of $2.7 million , increase in stock based comp of $53.7 million, changes
in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $6.2 million, net realized and unrealized gain on marketable securities of approximately
$4.8 million, offset by a change in prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $0.2 million, and net income of approximately
$111.2 million. The cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily attributable to a net
loss of approximately $15.7 million, approximately $3.4 million of unrealized gain on marketable securities, increase in clearing broker
deposits of $6.5 million, partially offset by approximately $3.8 million of realized gain on marketable securities, the change in carrying
value of long term investments of approximately $6.4 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $5.7 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively. The cash provided
by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, sales of marketable securities of $15.9 million, collection of
principal on notes receivable of $1.1 million, sales of long term investments $0.5 million and collection of principal from employee
loans of $0.3 million, and was partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of approximately $16.8 million. The cash provided
by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily resulted from our sale of marketable securities of approximately
$14.8 million and long term investments of approximately $ 3.5 million and collections of principal on notes receivable of $0.8 million,
and was partially offset by funds loaned to employees of $2.4 million and purchases of marketable securities of approximately $4.0 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30,
2025, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.4 million, primarily driven by fund raising related to issuance of common
stock of $13.5 million and issuance of common stock for warrants exercised of $4.6 million, partially offset by payment of dividends
of $11.9 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company distributed approximately $1.8 million to holders of
non-controlling interests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there are no cash flows from financing activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act. Based upon that evaluation, as of September 30, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal controls.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
As of December 31, 2024, due to staffing and resource
constraints, the Company required significant additional time to close the books and records. Management, after year end, continued to
perform its account reconciliations which required further adjustments to be recorded. As such, information technology, business processes
and financial reporting controls were deemed to be ineffective due to (a) the lack of personnel to ensure the books and records are closed
accurately and on a timely basis, (b) lack of proper review over the accounting for certain notes receivable accounted for at fair value,
(c) the lack of appropriate segregation of duties, (d) certain general information technology control deficiencies regarding user access
provisioning and administrative access review, and (e) insufficient documentation to support and evidence the design and implementation
of controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On October 1, 2025, the Company hired an Interim Chief Financial Officer
to assist the Company’s finance department. Otherwise, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for
the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure
controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to certain legal and
other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries may be named in and subject
to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration
claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims may seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages.
The Company and its subsidiaries may also be subject to other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory
organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions,
and other relief. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims the Company cannot state with
certainty what the eventual outcome of potential litigation or other claims will be.
In March 2024, the Company received a notice of
petition of a filed action seeking relief related to the hiring in March 2024 of new registered representatives from the representatives’
former employer. This notice was filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Dominari Securities. The Company does not agree with the
plaintiff’s claims. While the Company intends to defend itself vigorously from this claim, it is unable to predict the outcome of
such legal proceeding. Any potential loss as a result of this legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company
has not recorded a loss contingency for the aforementioned claim.
In the past, in the ordinary course of business,
the Company actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of the Company’s
technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company is not aware of any material, active or pending
legal proceedings brought against it.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a “smaller reporting company” as
defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. Our current risk factors are set
forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. Any of our previously disclosed risk factors
could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors
not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose
changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
