Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Ault Alliance” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued
businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact. Through its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments,
the Company owns and operates a data center at which it mines Bitcoin and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging artificial
intelligence ecosystems and other industries, and provides mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including

hotel operations and textiles. In addition, the Company extends credit to select entrepreneurial businesses through a licensed lending
subsidiary.
Ault Alliance was founded
by Milton “Todd” Ault, III, its Executive Chairman and is led by Milton “Todd” Ault, III, William B. Horne, its
Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman and Henry Nisser, its President and General Counsel. Together, they constitute the Executive
Committee, which manages the day-to-day operations of the Company. All major investment and capital allocation decisions are made for
the Company by the Executive Committee. The Company has the following nine reportable segments:
· Energy and Infrastructure (“Energy”) – crane operations, advanced textiles processing
and oil exploration;
· Technology and Finance (“Fintech”) –commercial lending, activist investing, stock trading, media, and
digital learning;
· The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“SMC”) – consumer electronics;

services for the emerging artificial intelligence ecosystems and other industries;
· Giga-tronics Incorporated (“GIGA”) – defense industry;
· Imperalis Holding Corp., d/b/a TurnOnGreen, Inc. (“TurnOnGreen”) – commercial electronics

· Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“AGREE”) – hotel operations and other commercial
real estate holdings; and
· Ault Disruptive Technologies Corporation (“Ault Disruptive”) – a special purpose acquisition
company.
Reverse Stock Split
On
May 15, 2023, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders, the Company’s
board of directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s
issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of one-for-three hundred (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split did not affect
the number of authorized shares of common stock, preferred stock or their respective par value per share. As a result of the Reverse Split,
each three hundred shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Reverse Split were converted into one share of common stock.
The Reverse Split became effective in the State of Delaware on May 17, 2023. All share amounts in these financial statements have been
updated to reflect the Reverse Split.
2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
As
of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 19.7
million, negative working capital of $ 70.0 million
and a history of net operating losses. The Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes
and equity securities. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for at least one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
F- 10
The condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly,
the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern
and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
In making this assessment
management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow
and cash usage forecasts, as well as obligations and debts. Although management has a long history of successful capital raises, the analysis
used to determine the Company’s ability as a going concern does not include cash sources beyond the Company’s direct control
that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.
Management expects that the
Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and marketable securities as of June 30, 2023, will not be sufficient
to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are issued.
Management anticipates raising additional capital through the private and public sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities
and selling its marketable securities and digital currencies, or a combination thereof. Although management believes that such capital
sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed in order to allow the
Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not raise sufficient capital
in a timely manner, among other things, the Company may be forced to scale back its operations or cease operations altogether.
3. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially
from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s
amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 22, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was
derived from the Company’s audited 2022 financial statements contained in the above referenced 2022 Annual Report. Results of the
three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December
31, 2023.
Significant Accounting
Policies
Other
than as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in
the 2022 Annual Report.
Revenue Recognition
– Bitcoin Mining
The
Company recognizes revenue from Bitcon Mining under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle
of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps
are applied to achieve that core principle:
· Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer,
· Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract,
· Step 3: Determine the transaction price,
· Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
· Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.
The
Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract with a mining pool operator to provide computing power to
the mining pool. The Company’s customer, as defined in ASC 606-10-20, is with the mining pool operator with whom the Company has
agreed to the terms of service and user service agreement. The Company supplies computing power, in exchange for consideration, to the
pool operator who in turn provides transaction verification services to third parties via a mining pool that includes other participants.
F- 11
The
Company’s enforceable right to compensation begins only when, and lasts as long as, the Company provides computing power to the
mining pool operator and is created as power is provided over time. The only consideration due to the Company relates to the provision
of computing power. The contracts are terminable at any time by and at no cost to the Company, and by the pool operator. Providing computing
power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. Providing such computing
power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators.
The
transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin. Changes in the fair value of
the non-cash consideration due to form of the consideration (changes in the market price of Bitcoin) are not included in the transaction
price and therefore, are not included in revenue. The mining pool operator charges fees to cover the costs of maintaining the pool and
are deducted from amounts the Company may otherwise earn and are treated as a reduction to the consideration received. Fees fluctuate
and historically have been approximately 0.3% per reward earned, on average.
In
exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula,
which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by the Company to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other
inputs. The Company is entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator. The contract
is in effect until terminated by either party.
All
consideration pursuant to this arrangement is variable. It is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will occur
and the Company is able to calculate the payout based on the contractual formula, non-cash revenue is estimated and recognized based on
the spot price of the Company’s principal market for Bitcoin at the inception of each contract, which is determined to be daily.
Non-cash consideration is measured at fair value at contract inception. Fair value of the crypto asset consideration is determined using
the spot price of the Company’s principal market for Bitcoin at the beginning of the contract period. This amount is estimated and
recognized in revenue upon inception, which is when hash rate is provided.
There
is no significant financing component in these transactions.
Expenses
associated with running the cryptocurrency mining business, such as equipment depreciation and electricity costs, are recorded as a component
of cost of revenues.
Preferred Stock
Liabilities
The Company follows Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” in its evaluation of the accounting
for the Preferred Shares (as defined in Note 16). ASC 480-10-25-14 requires liability accounting for certain financial instruments, including
shares that embody an unconditional obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, provided that the monetary value of the obligation
is based solely or predominantly on one of the following three characteristics:
· A fixed monetary amount known at inception;
· Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or
· Variations in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, but the monetary value to the counterparty
moves in the opposite direction as the value of the issuer’s shares.
The number of shares delivered
is determined on the basis of (1) the fixed monetary amount determined as the stated value and (2) the current stock price at settlement,
so that the aggregate fair value of the shares delivered equals the monetary value of the obligation, which is fixed or predominantly
fixed. Accordingly, the holder is not significantly exposed to gains and losses attributable to changes in the fair value of the Company’s
equity shares. Instead, the Company is using its own equity shares as currency to settle a monetary obligation.
F- 12
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation.
These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments
- Credit Losses,” (“ASU No. 2016-13”) to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment
in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology
with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB
issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with
Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured
by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance
will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance
should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact
on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
4. REVENUE DISAGGREGATION
The following tables summarize
disaggregated customer contract revenues and the source of the revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Revenues
from lending and trading activities included in consolidated revenues were primarily interest, dividend and other investment income, which

The Company assesses the inputs
used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable
in the market. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the
best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking
into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities
and liquidity risks.
The
following table summarizes the changes in investments in other equity securities measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis
with the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Impairment of AVLP Intangible Assets
Due to indicators of impairment, AVLP intangible
assets were tested for impairment as of June 30, 2023. Based on internally developed forecasts of undiscounted expected future cash flows,
it was determined that the carrying amount of the assets were not recoverable and, based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets,
impairment of $17.0 million was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
The tradenames and patents/developed
technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under
the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate
the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates of
18% for patents and developed technology and 0.25% for trademarks. The resulting net annual royalty payments are then discounted to present
value using a discount factor of 25.7%.

The following table summarizes
the changes in the Company’s goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Impairment of AVLP Goodwill
The Company tests the recorded
amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount
of the goodwill exceeds its carried value. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2023 related to AVLP as there
were indicators of impairment related to certain unforeseen business developments and changes in financial projections.
The valuation of the AVLP
reporting unit was determined using a market and income approach methodology of valuation.
The income approach was based
on the projected cash flows discounted to their present value using discount rates, that in the Company’s judgment, consider the
timing and risk of the forecasted cash flows using internally developed forecasts and assumptions. Under the income approach, the discount
rate used is the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics.
The analysis included assumptions regarding AVLP’s revenue forecast and discount rates of 26.7 % using a weighted average cost of
capital analysis. The market approach utilized the guideline public company method.
The
results of the quantitative test indicated the fair value of the AVLP reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amounts, including
goodwill, in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill. As a result, the entire $ 18.6
million carrying amount of AVLP’s goodwill was recognized as a non-cash impairment charge during the six months ended June
30, 2023.

BMI Acquisition
On March 6, 2023, the Company
closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BMI and sold to BMI all of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Company’s subsidiary, BitNile.com, Inc. (“BitNile.com”) as well as Ault Iconic, Inc. (formerly Ault Media Group,
Inc.) and the securities of Earnity, Inc. (“Earnity”) beneficially owned by BitNile.com as of the date of the Agreement (the
“Transaction”). As consideration for the acquisition, BMI issued shares of preferred stock convertible into common stock of
BMI representing approximately 73.2% of BMI’s outstanding common stock. Pending approval of the transaction by the Nasdaq Stock
Market and BMI’s shareholders, the preferred stock combined are subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership limitation. The Transaction

to fund the expected growth of the BMI metaverse platform. In addition, there are certain synergies between the Company’s Bitcoin
mining operations and BMI’s Agora Digital mining business.
The holders of preferred
stock will be entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 5% of the stated value of the preferred stock.
The Company is entitled to
appoint three members to the board of directors of BMI and, following shareholder approval, a majority of the board, in each case subject
to the approval of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company consolidates
BMI as a VIE due to its significant level of influence and control of BMI, the size of its investment, and its ability to participate
in policy making decisions. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

The total purchase price
to acquire BMI has been allocated to the assets acquired and assumed liabilities based upon preliminary estimated fair values, with any
excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is not tax deductible. The fair value of the

to be completed no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Although the completion of the valuation activities may result in

stock, with each such share having a stated value of $ 100.00 and consisting of (i) 83,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
(the “Series E Preferred Stock”), (ii) 1,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred
Stock”) and (iii) 16,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock” and collectively,
the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option
of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by the Company.
The purchase price of
the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock was paid for by the Investors’ canceling outstanding secured
promissory notes in the principal amount of $8.4 million, whereas the purchase price of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock
consisted primarily of accrued but unpaid interest on these notes. The Company
recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.1
million related to the transaction. The Preferred Shares have been classified as a liability as they embody an unconditional
obligation to transfer a variable number of shares, based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. The Company elected the
fair value option to record the Preferred Shares with changes in fair value recorded through earnings.
In June 2023, the Investors
converted 1,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 1,792 shares of Series G Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 37,493 shares of

BMI Senior Secured Convertible Notes
On April 27, 2023, BMI sold
$ 6.9
million of principal face amount senior secured convertible notes with an original issue discount to sophisticated investors for
net proceeds to BMI of $ 5.5
million. The notes mature on April 27, 2024
and are secured by all of the assets of BMI and certain of its subsidiaries. There is no stated interest rate on the convertible note
unless there is an event of default. The notes are convertible into shares of BMI common stock at $ 3.28 ;
however there are provision in the convertible note that enables the holders of the notes to receive a lower conversion rate upon future
common stock issuances by BMI that fall below the $3.28 price.
As BMI does not have sufficient
authorized shares to fulfill the conversion option, the conversion option meets the criteria of a derivative instrument, and the convertible
note has been discounted $ 4.1 million for the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and $ 1.4 million for the fair value of the
embedded conversion option derivative liability at inception. The fair value of the warrant derivative liability is updated quarterly
and is recorded within financial instrument liabilities, a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the fair value of
the embedded conversion option derivative liability is updated quarterly and is recorded within convertible notes. In addition, BMI has
recorded $1.4 million in original issue discount, which is being amortized over the interest method for the term of the BMI senior
secured convertible notes. Amortization of discount related to the senior secured convertible notes was $ 0.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2023.
Activity related to the embedded
conversion option derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows:

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
Litigation Matters
The Company is involved in
litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory
and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims,
suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.
Certain of these outstanding
matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is
probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably
possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments
in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably
possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there
being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.
With respect to the Company’s
other outstanding matters, based on the Company’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably
possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject
to significant uncertainties.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company
had accrued $ 5.3 million as a loss contingency related to litigation matters.
SEC Investigation
The Company and certain affiliates
and related parties received several subpoenas from the SEC for the production of documents and testimony in the non-public fact-finding
investigation referred to as In re DPW Holdings, Inc. The Company and those parties have reached a settlement with the SEC to fully
resolve the SEC’s previously disclosed investigation into certain of the Company’s public disclosures and its accounting for
certain transactions, among other matters.
F- 28
Under terms of the settlement,
announced on August 15, 2023, the Company, Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, and Chief Executive Officer William
B. Horne neither admit nor deny the SEC’s findings, which do not entail intentional misconduct. The Company will pay a civil penalty
of $0.7 million that was fully accrued in the fourth quarter of 2022; Mr. Ault will pay disgorgement of $85,504 and a civil penalty of
$150,000; and Mr. Horne will pay a civil penalty of $20,720. In addition, the Company has undertaken to retain an independent consultant
to conduct a comprehensive review of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures,
and to issue a report providing recommendations for improvements.

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 3.0 % and 0.8 % for the three months ended June
30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.2 % and 0.4 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded
income tax provision of $ 1.4 million and $ 0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $ 1.1 million
and $ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the ETR and federal statutory rate
of 21 % is primarily attributable to items recorded for GAAP but permanently disallowed for U.S. federal income tax purposes and changes
in valuation allowance.
