Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information provided as of September 30, 2022 in these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. NOTE 2 — PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS Envela and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities within the recommerce sector. These activities include being one of the nation’s premier authenticated recommerce retailers of luxury hard assets; providing end-of-life asset recycling and resale to businesses, organization and retail consumers; offering data destruction and IT asset management; and providing products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial companies. Envela operates primarily via two operating and reportable segments. Through DGSE, LLC (“DGSE”), the Company operates Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange, and Bullion Express brands. Through ECHG, LLC (“ECHG”), the Company operates Echo Environmental Holdings, LLC (“Echo”), ITAD USA Holdings, LLC (“ITAD USA”), CEX Holdings, LLC (“CEX”), Avail Recovery Solutions, LLC (“Avail”) and Teladvance, LLC (“Teladvance”). Envela is a Nevada corporation, headquartered in Irving, Texas. DGSE primarily buys and resells or recycles luxury hard assets like jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, fine watches, rare coins and related collectibles, precious-metal bullion products, gold, silver and other precious-metals. DGSE operates seven jewelry stores at both the retail and wholesale levels in Texas and South Carolina. Buying and selling items for their precious-metals content is a major method by which DGSE markets itself. DGSE also offers jewelry repair services, custom-made jewelry and consignment items, and maintains relationships with refiners for precious-metal items that are not appropriate for resale. The Company also maintains a presence in the retail market through its websites, www.dgse.com and www.cgdeinc.com . ECHG, through its subsidiaries, primarily buys electronic components from business and other organizations, such as school districts, for end-of-life recycling and resale, or to add life to electronic devices by data destruction and refurbishment for reuse. ECHG also conducts such recycling and resale at the retail level. Echo focuses on end-of-life electronics recycling and sustainability and ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition, including compliance and data sanitization services. Teladvance, CEX and Avail operate as value-added resellers by providing offerings and services to companies looking either to upgrade capabilities or dispose of electronic equipment. Like DGSE, ECHG also maintains relationships with refiners or recyclers to which it sells valuable materials it extracts from electronics and IT equipment that are not appropriate for resale or reuse. ECHG’s customers are companies and organizations that are based domestically and internationally. 8 Table of Contents For additional information on the businesses of both DGSE and ECHG, see “Item 1. Business – Operating Segments” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, trade receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer deposits and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. Notes payable and line of credit approximate fair value due to the market interest rate charged. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share of our common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (our “Common Stock”), is computed by dividing net earnings available to holders of the Company’s Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts requiring the Company to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding determined using the treasury stock method. Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or earlier if events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company’s goodwill is related to ECHG only and not the entire Company. ECHG has its own, separate financial information to perform goodwill impairment testing at least annually or if events indicate that those assets may be impaired. As a result of the current market and economic conditions related to the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”), surging inflation and the war between Ukraine and Russia, in accordance with step 1 of the guidelines set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20-35-3A, the Company concluded there were no impairments of goodwill that resulted from those triggering events for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate goodwill for the ECHG segment. For tax purposes, goodwill is amortized and deductible over fifteen years. ECHG goodwill was allocated in connection with three acquisitions of the assets now held by Echo on May 20, 2019 (the “Echo Transaction”), of the assets now held by Teladvance on June 9, 2021 (the “CExchange Transaction”) and of the assets now held by Avail on October 29, 2021 (the “Avail Transaction”). The preliminary goodwill associated with the Avail Transaction was $ 3,491,285 , which was the initial purchase price less the approximate fair value of the net assets purchased. There have been several adjustments made to goodwill concerning the Avail Transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. On May 31, 2022, an additional cash payment was made of $ 216,988 due to certain conditions being met concerning the cash balance upon a certain date. The cash payment increased goodwill for the Avail Transaction to $ 3,708,273 . During the three months ended September 30, 2022, a third party valuation company identified $ 2,736,000 of intangibles that were not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets that reduced the Avail Transaction goodwill to $ 972,272 . There have been no other adjustments or impairment charges to goodwill. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, goodwill was $ 3,621,453 and $ 6,140,465 , respectively. 9 Table of Contents Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard ASU 2016-13. The new accounting standard introduces the current expected credit losses methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses which will be based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss methodology for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments. The standard will be adopted upon the effective date for us beginning January 1, 2023 by using a modified retrospective transition approach to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company is evaluating the financial statement implications of ASU 2016-13. There were no other new accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and there were no other new accounting standards or pronouncements that were issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2022 that the Company expects to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 4 — INVENTORIES A summary of inventories is as follows: September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 DGSE Resale $ 15,311,602 $ 10,422,072 Recycle 8,484 11,995 Subtotal 15,320,086 10,434,067 ECHG Resale 1,637,723 3,350,159 Recycle 1,105,254 264,210 Subtotal 2,742,977 3,614,369 $ 18,063,063 $ 14,048,436 NOTE 5 — ACQUISITION On October 29, 2021, ECHG entered into the Avail Transaction to purchase all of the assets, liabilities and rights and interests of Avail for $ 4,500,000 . The purchase was facilitated by an initial payment of $ 2,500,000 at closing, with the remaining $ 2,000,000 represented by an installment note (the “Avail Installment Note”) made by ECHG to the seller to be paid out by 12 quarterly payments starting April 1, 2022, of $ 166,667 each. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on this loan. The Avail Installment Note for the Avail Transaction does not bear interest but the imputed interest rate was determined to be 3.1 %. As part of the Avail Transaction, goodwill was preliminarily recorded as $ 3,491,284 , which was the purchase price less the approximate fair value of the net assets purchased. On May 31, 2022, an additional cash payment of $ 216,988 was made due to certain conditions being met concerning the cash balance upon a certain date. The additional cash payment was not part of the Avail Installment Note of $ 2,000,000 from the initial closing of the Avail Transaction. The additional cash payment increased goodwill and the purchase price amount by $ 216,988 , thereby increasing goodwill for the Avail Transaction to $ 3,708,273 . On September 30, 2022, a third party valuation company identified $ 2,736,000 of intangibles as part of the Avail Transaction not initially included in the fair value of Avail’s net assets. The intangibles identified of $ 2,736,000 , decreases goodwill by $2,736,000 to $ 972,272 , as shown in the purchase price allocation table below. The Avail Transaction was initially recorded as preliminary, but with the third party valuation complete, the purchase price allocation below is considered final. The Company’s goodwill is related to the ECHG segment. ECHG has its own separate financial information to perform goodwill impairment testing. The Company will evaluate goodwill based on cash flows for the ECHG segment. For tax purposes, goodwill is amortized and deductible over 15 years. 10 Table of Contents The purchase price allocation of the Avail Transaction is listed below: Initial Final Description Allocation Allocation Assets Cash $ 988,870 $ 988,870 Account receivables 395,144 395,144 Inventories 486,736 486,736 Prepaid expenses 93,727 93,727 Intangible assets - Trademarks/Tradenames - 1,272,000 Intangible assets - Customer Relationships - 1,464,000 Fixed assets - net 247,038 247,038 Right-of-use assets 609,511 609,511 Other assets 13,268 13,268 Liabilities Account payables ( 562,778 ) ( 562,778 ) Accrued liabilities ( 653,289 ) ( 653,289 ) Operating lease liabilities ( 609,511 ) ( 609,511 ) Net assets 1,008,716 3,744,716 Goodwill 3,491,284 972,272 Total Purchase Price $ 4,500,000 $ 4,716,988 11 Table of Contents The following table compares the results of Avail as part of Company’s financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and the Company’s results of operations as if they were combined for the three months ended September 30, 2021: Consolidated Statement of Income Proforma Combined For the Three Months Ended For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenue $ 45,197,686 $ 40,057,210 Income from continuing operations $ 3,381,770 $ 3,496,441 Net income $ 3,317,709 $ 3,432,380 Basic net income per common share $ 0.12 $ 0.13 Diluted net income per common share $ 0.12 $ 0.13 The following table compares the results of Avail as part of the Company’s financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the Company’s results of operations as if they were combined for the nine months ended September 30, 2021: Consolidated Statement of Income Proforma Combined For the Nine Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenue $ 135,252,502 $ 102,710,504 Income from continuing operations $ 9,957,397 $ 8,424,665 Net income $ 9,812,792 $ 8,280,060 Basic net income per common share $ 0.36 $ 0.31 Diluted net income per common share $ 0.36 $ 0.31 12 Table of Contents NOTE 6 — GOODWILL The changes in goodwill is as follows: September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Opening balance $ 6,140,465 $ 1,367,109 Additions/(Reductions) (1) ( 2,519,012 ) 4,773,356 Goodwill $ 3,621,453 $ 6,140,465 (1) Additions ending December 31, 2021 totaling $ 4,773,356 is a combination of the CExchange Transaction on June 9, 2021 of $ 1,282,072 and the Avail Transaction’s preliminary purchase price allocation on October 29, 2021, of $ 3,491,284 .

Our financial performance is based on the following two segments: DGSE and ECHG. The DGSE segment includes Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, which has six retail stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange, which has one retail store in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. The DGSE segment also includes the Bullion Express brand and the bullion-trading operation, which operates out of the DGSE stores. The ECHG segment includes Echo, ITAD USA, Teladvance, CEX and Avail. These five companies are involved in recycling and reuse of electronic components. 16 Table of Contents We allocate a portion of certain corporate costs and expenses, including information technology as well as rental income and expenses relating to our corporate headquarters, to our business segments. These income and expenses are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income, interest expense and income tax expense. Our management team evaluates each segment and makes decisions about the allocation of resources according to each segment’s profit. Allocation amounts are generally agreed upon by management and may differ from arms-length allocations.

The initial step is to identify the contract with a customer created with the sales invoice or a repair ticket. Secondly, we identify the performance obligations in the contract, as we promise to deliver the purchased item or promised repairs in return for payment or future payment as a receivable. The third step is determining the transaction price of the contract obligation, as in the full ticket price, negotiated price or a repair price. The next step is to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, as we designate a separate price for each item. The final step in the guidance is to recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The following disaggregation of total revenue is listed by sales category and segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: CONSOLIDATED Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Revenues Gross Profit Margin Revenues Gross Profit Margin DGSE Resale $ 28,172,732 $ 3,251,153 11.5 % $ 23,407,095 $ 2,645,445 11.3 % Recycled 2,254,522 498,210 22.1 % 2,075,284 414,053 20.0 % Subtotal 30,427,254 3,749,363 12.3 % 25,482,379 3,059,498 12.0 % ECHG Resale 11,518,168 6,465,386 56.1 % 8,288,951 3,450,652 41.6 % Recycled 3,252,264 1,640,908 50.5 % 3,909,439 1,599,966 40.9 % Subtotal 14,770,432 8,106,294 54.9 % 12,198,390 5,050,618 41.4 % $ 45,197,686 $ 11,855,657 26.2 % $ 37,680,769 $ 8,110,116 21.5 % The following disaggregation of total revenue is listed by sales category and segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: CONSOLIDATED Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Revenues Gross Profit Margin Revenues Gross Profit Margin DGSE Resale $ 90,014,891 $ 10,713,959 11.9 % $ 61,621,574 $ 7,781,229 12.6 % Recycled 6,534,362 1,447,450 22.2 % 5,787,630 1,182,900 20.4 % Subtotal 96,549,253 12,161,409 12.6 % 67,409,204 8,964,129 13.3 % ECHG Resale 30,200,026 16,606,161 55.0 % 21,625,853 9,082,521 42.0 % Recycled 8,503,223 4,277,121 50.3 % 7,860,159 3,495,620 44.5 % Subtotal 38,703,249 20,883,282 54.0 % 29,486,012 12,578,141 42.7 % $ 135,252,502 $ 33,044,691 24.4 % $ 96,895,216 $ 21,542,270 22.2 % 18 Table of Contents DGSE’s over-the-counter sales with the retail public and wholesale dealers are recognized when merchandise is delivered, and payment has been made either by immediate payment or through a receivable obligation at one of our retail locations. We also recognize revenue upon the shipment of goods when retail and wholesale customers have fulfilled their obligation to pay, or promise to pay through e-commerce or phone sales. We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods. Crafted-precious-metal items at the end of their useful lives are sold to a refiner. Since the local refiner is located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we deliver the metal to the refiner. The metal is melted and assayed, price is determined from the assay and payment is made usually in a day or two. Revenue is recognized from the sale once payment is received. DGSE also offers a structured layaway plan. When a retail customer utilizes the layaway plan, we collect a minimum payment of 25% of the sales price , establish a payment schedule for the remaining balance and hold the merchandise as collateral as security against the customer’s deposit until all amounts due are paid in full. Revenue for layaway sales is recognized when the merchandise is paid in full and delivered to the retail customer. Layaway revenue is also recognized when a customer fails to pay in accordance with the sales contract and the sales item is returned to inventory with the forfeit of deposited funds, typically after 90 days. In limited circumstances, we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and/or monetary consideration with both dealers and retail customers, for which we recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. When we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and there is no monetary component to the exchange, we do not recognize any revenue. Instead, the basis of the merchandise relinquished becomes the basis of the merchandise received, less any indicated impairment of value of the merchandise relinquished. When we exchange merchandise for similar merchandise and there is a monetary component to the exchange, we recognize revenue to the extent of the monetary assets received and determines the cost of sale based on the ratio of monetary assets received to monetary and non-monetary assets received multiplied by the cost of the assets surrendered. The Company offers the option of third-party financing to customers wishing to borrow money for the purchase. The customer applies on-line with the financing company and upon going through the credit check will be approved or denied. If accepted, the customer is allowed to purchase according to the limits set by the financing company. Once the customer does purchase merchandise, based on their financing agreement, we record and recognize the sale at that point, based on the promise to pay by the finance company up to the customer’s approved limit. We have a return policy (money-back guarantee). The policy covers retail transactions involving jewelry, graded rare coins and currency only. Customers may return jewelry, graded rare coins and currency purchased within 30 days of the receipt of the items for a full refund as long as the items are returned in exactly the same condition as they were delivered. In the case of jewelry, graded rare coins and currency sales on account, customers may cancel the sale within 30 days of making a commitment to purchase the items. The receipt of a deposit and a signed purchase order evidences the commitment. Any customer may return a jewelry item or graded rare coins and currency if they can demonstrate that the item is not authentic, or there was an error in the description of a graded coin or currency piece. Returns are accounted for as a reversal of the original transaction, with the effect of reducing revenues and cost of sales, and returning the merchandise to inventory. We have established an allowance for estimated returns related to sales based on historical returns and reduced our reported revenues and cost of sales accordingly. Our return allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 remained the same for both periods, at approximately $ 28,000 . ECHG has several revenue streams and recognize revenue according to ASC 606 at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entities expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The revenue streams are as follows. · Outright sales are recorded when product is shipped. Once the price is established and the terms are agreed to and the product is shipped, the revenue is recognized. Echo and ITAD USA (collectively, the “Echo Entities”) have fulfilled their performance obligation with an agreed upon transaction price, payment terms and shipping the product. 19 Table of Contents · Echo recognizes refining revenue when our inventory arrives at the destination port and the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised goods that are identified in the customer contract. Ninety percent (90%) of our refining revenue is generated from one refining partner that has an international refining facility. This refining partner pays us sixty percent (60%) of our Invoice within five working days upon the receipt of the Ocean Bill of Lading issued by the Ocean Carrier. Refining revenue from an invoice is recognized in full when our performance obligation is satisfied when the inventory arrives at the destination. Under the guidance of ASC 606, an estimate of the variable consideration that we expect to be entitled is included in the transaction price stated at the current precious metal spot price and weight of the precious metal. An adjustment to revenue is made in the period once the underlying weight and any precious metal spot price movement is resolved, which is usually around six weeks. Any adjustment from the resolution of the underlying uncertainty is netted with the remaining forty percent (40%) due from the original contract. · Hard drive sales by the Echo Entities are limited to customers who are required to prepay shipments. Once the commodity price is established and agreed upon by both parties, customers send payment in advance. The Company releases the shipment on the same day when payment receipt is confirmed, and revenue is recognized on day of shipment. If payment is received on the last day of the month and shipment goes out the following day the payment received is deferred revenue and recognized the following month when the shipment is made. · Echolso provides recycling services according to a Scope of Work where services are recognized when promised services are rendered. We conduct recycling services at our Echo facility or at a client’s facility. The Scope of Work will determine the charges and whether it is completed on campus or off campus. Payment terms are also dictated in the Scope of Work. Accounts Receivable : We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. When appropriate, we will record an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is primarily determined by an analysis of our trade receivables aging. The allowance is determined based on historical experience of collecting past due amounts, based on the degree of their aging. In addition, specific accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. DGSE had no allowance for doubtful accounts balance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Some of ECHG’s customers are on payment terms, and although low risk, occasionally the need arises to record an allowance for receivables that are deemed high risk to collect. We established an allowance for estimated uncollectable receivables related to sales based on historical collections. Our allowance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 75,000 and $ 1,582 , respectively. Income Taxes : Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized. We account for our position in tax uncertainties in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance establishes standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance provides several clarifications related to uncertain tax positions. Most notably, a “more likely-than-not” standard for initial recognition of tax positions, a presumption of audit detection and a measurement of recognized tax benefits based on the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of realization. The guidance applies a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. First, we must determine whether any amount of the tax benefit may be recognized. Second, we determine how much of the tax benefit should be recognized (this would only apply to tax positions that qualify for recognition.) No additional liabilities have been recognized as a result of the implementation. We do not believe we have not taken a tax position that, if successfully challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 20 Table of Contents NOTE 12 — LEASES In determining our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we apply a discount rate to the minimum lease payments within each lease agreement. ASC 842 requires us to use the interest rate that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment at the time of the lease signing. If we cannot readily determine the discount rate implicit in lease agreements, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. The Company has seven operating leases as of September 30, 2022—five in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, one in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina and one in Chandler, Arizona.

NOTE 17 — CONTINGENCIES COVID-19 continues to adversely affect global economic business conditions, including but not limited to contributing to surging inflation and supply chain interruptions, which also continue to adversely affect global economic business conditions. Future sales on products like ours could decline or fluctuate due to increased or fluctuating commodities prices, particularly gold. The Federal Reserve has recently stated raising interest rates to combat inflation and restore price stability and it is expected that rates will continue to rise throughout the remainder of 2022. Although we are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation levels and supply chain interruptions, as well as the economic effects of the foregoing, the ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change. In addition, the economic effects of the foregoing are subject to, among other things, the effect of government responses on our operations. The global tension caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has upset the stability within the region of the former Soviet era block. This could lead to further volatility in global energy and other industries that could negatively impact our operations. The U.S. government has imposed sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests and threatened additional sanctions and controls, which have impacted global supply chains. The impact of these measures, as well as other measures taken, as it concerns our operations is currently unknown. 27 Table of Contents
