Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), the “Company,” “Hyperscale Data,” “we,” “us”
and “our” refer to Hyperscale Data, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Hyperscale Data operates as an artificial intelligence (“AI”)
data center company anchored by Bitcoin. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinum, Inc., the Company owns and operates a large-scale
data center platform that integrates AI compute infrastructure with Bitcoin mining operations under a unified, parallel compute model.
This hybrid architecture enables Hyperscale Data to generate compute power for enterprise AI workloads through NVIDIA graphic processing
unit clusters, while also operating high-efficiency Bitcoin mining systems that contribute to the Bitcoin network and the Company’s
growing digital asset treasury.
Through its other wholly owned
subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), the Company currently holds a portfolio of diversified businesses and strategic
investments spanning commercial lending and trading, hotel operations, crane rental, AI-driven software and gaming platforms, and commercial
electronics. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in extending private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary.
Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2026, though
there can be no assurance that the Divestiture will be completed during such quarter. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company
would operate as a focused AI data center and Bitcoin infrastructure company.
Recent Events and Developments
On February 5, 2025, we entered
into an exchange agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which we issued to the investor a convertible promissory note in
the principal face amount of $1.9 million (the “February 2025 Convertible Note”), in exchange for the cancellation of an outstanding
term note we issued to the investor in April 2024. That note had an outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest of $1.9
million. The February 2025 Convertible Note accrued interest at the rate of 15% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the
February 2025 Convertible Note) occurs, at which time the February 2025 Convertible Note would accrue interest at 18% per annum. The February
2025 Convertible Note was to mature on May 5, 2025. The February 2025 Convertible Note was convertible into shares of Class A common stock
at a fixed conversion price of $4.00 per share.
In
February 2025, we and an institutional investor (the “Investor”) entered into an amended and restated forbearance agreement
pursuant to which the Investor agreed to forebear through the close of business on May 15, 2025, from exercising the rights and remedies
it is entitled in consideration for our agreement to issue to the Investor an amended and restated convertible promissory note in the
amount of $3.5 million (the “A&R Forbearance Note”), consisting of (i) the amount then due under the original forbearance
agreement of $0.9 million, (ii) a forbearance extension fee of $0.3 million and (iii) a true-up amount of $2.3 million. Subject to the
approval by the NYSE and our stockholders, the A&R Forbearance Note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion
price equal to $2.00, subject to adjustment. The A&R Forbearance Note accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum with a maturity
date of May 15, 2025. On June 3, 2025, we and the investor entered into an amendment to the A&R Forbearance Note, pursuant to which
the maturity date of the A&R Forbearance Note was extended until June 30, 2025.
On March 14, 2025, we entered
into an exchange agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we issued to the investor a convertible promissory note in
the principal face amount of $4.2 million in exchange for the cancellation of (i) a term note issued by us on May 16, 2024, with outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $0.7 million, (ii) a term note issued by us on May 20, 2024, with outstanding principal and
accrued but unpaid interest of $1.5 million, and (iii) the February 2025 Convertible Note issued by us on February 5, 2025, with outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $2.0 million. The note accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum, unless an event of
default (as defined in the note) occurs, at which time the note would accrue interest at 18% per annum. The note will mature on June 30,
2025. The note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.40 per share (the
“Floor Price”) and (ii) the lesser of 75% of the VWAP (as defined in the note) of the Class A common stock during the five
trading days immediately prior to (A) the date of issuance of the note or (B) the date of conversion into shares of Class A common stock.
On March 21, 2025, we entered
into an exchange agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which we issued to the investor a convertible promissory note in
the principal face amount of $4.9 million (the “Exchange Note”) in exchange for the cancellation of (i) a term note issued
by us on January 14, 2025, with outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $2.6 million, (ii) a promissory note issued by
us on March 7, 2025, with outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $0.5 million, (iii) a promissory note issued by us
on March 12, 2025, with outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $1.5 million, and (iv) a promissory note issued by us
on March 13, 2025, with outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of $0.3 million. The Exchange Note accrues interest at the
rate of 15% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the Exchange Note) occurs, at which time the note would accrue interest
at 18% per annum. The Exchange Note will mature on December 31, 2025. The note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a
conversion price equal to the greater of (i) the Floor Price and (ii) the lesser of 75% of the VWAP (as defined in the Exchange Note)
of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to (A) the date of issuance of the Exchange Note or (B) the
date of conversion into shares of Class A common stock, but not greater than $10.00 per share.

On March 31, 2025, we entered
into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we agreed to sell up to 50,000 shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for a total purchase price of up to $50.0 million. The securities
purchase agreement provides that the transaction shall be conducted through 49 separate tranche closings, provided, however, that the
investor has the ability, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase any number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock prior to the
dates of the tranche closings provided for in the securities purchase agreement. The initial tranche closing, which is expected to close
promptly after the investor has converted out of the Exchange Note, will consist of the sale and issuance to the investor of 2,000 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate of $2.0 million. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, provided certain closing
conditions have been met, the investor shall purchase up to 4,800 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on a monthly basis, with the investor
being required to purchase 1,000 shares per month.
Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock has a stated value of $1,000.00 and is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a at a conversion price equal to the greater
of (i) $0.40 (the “Floor Price”) and (ii) 75% of our lowest VWAP during the five trading days immediately preceding conversion,
subject to a maximum price of $10.00 per share, as adjusted for certain corporate actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the Series B Preferred Stock be convertible at less than the Floor Price. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to
cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 15%, or $150.00 per share, based on the stated value per share. Dividends shall accrue
for as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding and are payable monthly in arrears. For the first
two years, we may elect to pay the dividend amount in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock rather than cash. The holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the Class A common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis.
On April 1,
2025, we issued to an institutional investor a convertible promissory note in the principal face amount of $1.7 million in consideration
for an advance we received of $1.5 million. The note accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum. The note will mature on September
30, 2025. The note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) the Floor Price
and (ii) the lesser of 75% of the VWAP (as defined in the note) of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior
to (A) the date of issuance of the note or (B) the date of conversion into shares of Class A common stock.
On April 8, 2025, we issued
to an accredited investor a convertible promissory note in the principal face amount of $110,000 in consideration for $100,000. The note
accrues interest at the rate of 15% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the note) occurs, at which time the note would
accrue interest at 18% per annum. The note will mature on September 30, 2025. The note is convertible into shares of Class A common stock
at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.45 and (ii) the lesser of (A) 75% of the VWAP (as defined in the note) of the Class
A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance of the note or (B) 75% of the lowest VWAP of the
Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion into shares of Class A common stock.
On April 15, 2025, we issued
to two accredited investors convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal face amount of $5 million in aggregate gross consideration
of $4 million in cash paid by the investors, prior to placement agent fees and expenses of approximately $460,000. The notes were issued
with an original issue discount of twenty percent (20%), or $1 million. The notes do not accrue interest unless an event of default (as
defined in the notes) occurs, at which time the notes would accrue interest at 20% per annum. The notes will mature on September 30, 2025.
The notes are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.40 and (ii) 80% of
the lowest closing price of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion into shares
of Class A common stock.
On May 13, 2025, we entered
into an OID-only term note agreement with an institutional investor with a principal amount of $1.4 million and an OID of $0.1 million.
The maturity date of the promissory note is May 27, 2025. Mr. Ault entered into a personal guaranty agreement for the benefit of the investor.

On June 6, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Agreement”)
with our defense affiliate Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“GIGA”) and GIGA’s senior secured lenders pursuant in its Chapter
11 bankruptcy proceedings. On August 29, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona confirmed GIGA’s bankruptcy
plan. Under that plan, GIGA’s senior lenders released GIGA and us in exchange for a settlement payment. That payment
was made on September 30, 2025, and it is anticipated that the plan will be effective, and GIGA will emerge from bankruptcy, on November
28, 2025.
On June 9, 2025, Sentinum
entered into a Hosting Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a data center hosting company (the “Service Provider”).
Under the Agreement, the Service Provider will provide Sentinum with operations and asset management services and access to approximately
20 megawatts of energy capacity and other critical infrastructure to be used for Sentinum’s Bitcoin mining operations. The Agreement
has an initial term of one year with automatic one-year renewals unless either Sentinum or the Service Provider elects to terminate the
Agreement 90 days prior to the end of the current term. Sentinum anticipates deploying approximately 6,800 S19j miners (the “Miners”)
at the Service Provider’s data center.
Sentinum will pay the Service
Provider a non-refundable fee of $10 per Miner for the setup, installation and configuration of the Miners (the “Initial Setup Fee”)
as well as an initial deposit of $800,000 (the “Initial Deposit” and together with the Initial Setup Fee, the “Initial
Fees”). The Initial Fees shall be paid out of Bitcoin rewards and Bitcoin transaction fee awards (the “Earned BTC”)
that would otherwise be due to Customer until such time as 100% of the Initial Fees have been paid. Thereafter, Sentinum is entitled to
70% of the Earned BTC and the Service Provider is entitled to 30%. The Agreement provides that, during periods of high demand on the utility
grid, the Service Provider has the option to curtail the electrical load to the facility and redirect the electrical load to the utility
grid. Upon any curtailment, the net profits from such energy sales shall be equally split between Sentinum and the Service Provider.
On July 31, 2025, we entered
into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2025 SPA”) with Ault & Company, Inc. (“Ault & Company”),
pursuant to which we agreed to sell, in one or more closings, to Ault & Company up to 100,000 shares of Series H convertible preferred
stock (“Series H Preferred Stock”) for a total purchase price of up to $100.0 million. The July 2025 SPA provides that the
financing may be conducted through one or more closings. As of the date of this filing, we have sold 4,000 shares of Series H Preferred
Stock to Ault & Company.
Each share of Series H Preferred
Stock has a stated value of $1,000.00 and is convertible into shares of Class A common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater
of (i) $0.10 per share and (ii) the lesser of (A) $0.79645 or (B) 105% of the volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock
during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of
an issuance of Class A common stock at a price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect, as well as upon customary stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The holders of Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative cash dividends
at an annual rate of 9.5%, or $95.00 per share, based on the stated value per share. Dividends shall accrue for 10 years from the date
of issuance of such shares of Series H Preferred Stock and are payable monthly in arrears. For the first two years, we may elect to pay
the dividend amount in shares of Class A common stock rather than cash. The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to vote
with the Class A common stock as a single class on an as-converted basis.
On August 29, 2025, we entered
into a sales agreement with Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc. to sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price
of up to $125 million from time to time, through an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering program. Between August 29,
2025 and November 4, 2025, we received gross proceeds of $125 million through the sale of 255.4 million shares of our Class A common stock
through the ATM offering.
On September 26, 2025, Ault Lending entered into a
loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with GIGA, pursuant to which Ault Lending agreed to loan GIGA up to $10.0
million (the “Loan”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The Loan, which is evidenced by the issuance
by GIGA of a15% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Note (the “GIGA Note”) in the original principal
amount of $11.0 million, was to be funded in three tranches. The first tranche, in an amount of $6.5 million, was funded on September
30, 2025, and the remaining tranches, totaling $3.5 million, are expected to be funded pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. The
GIGA Note, which matures on November 15, 2028, was issued as part of GIGA’s confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and is secured
by substantially all of GIGA’s assets. The GIGA Note is convertible into shares of GIGA common stock at a conversion price equal
to the greater of (i) $0.10 per share (the “GIGA Floor Price”), which GIGA Floor Price shall not be adjusted for stock dividends,
stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions and (ii) the lesser of a 5% premium to the volume weighted average price
during the five trading days immediately prior to the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion into shares of common stock
or $1.00.
3
On November 7, 2025, we entered
into an amendment to the July SPA to provide for an extension of the date on which the final closing (the “Termination Date”)
may occur to the later of (i) December 31, 2027, and (ii) the date that shall be one year following the date upon which the Company has
completed taking the requisite action(s) to enable it to issue shares of Class A common stock to each person holding instruments entitling
such person to convert all of such convertible instrument, including but not limited to the Series H Preferred Stock, into shares of Class
A common stock provided, however, that Ault & Company may extend the Termination Date for an additional ninety (90) days, by notice
to the Company.
Presentation of GIGA as Discontinued Operations
On
August 14, 2024, GIGA filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy
laws. The filing placed GIGA under the control of the bankruptcy court, which oversees its reorganization and restructuring process.
We assessed the inherent uncertainties associated with the outcome of the Chapter 11 reorganization process and the anticipated duration
thereof, and concluded that it was appropriate to deconsolidate GIGA and its subsidiaries effective on the petition date. We recognized
a gain on deconsolidation of GIGA of $2.0 million included in net gain (loss) from discontinued operations.
In connection with the Chapter
11 reorganization process , we concluded that the operations of GIGA met the criteria for discontinued operations as this strategic
shift that will have a significant effect on our operations and financial results. As a result, we have presented the results of operations,
cash flows and financial position of GIGA as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes for
all periods presented.
On June 6, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement with GIGA and
GIGA’s senior secured lenders pursuant. On August 29, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona
confirmed GIGA’s bankruptcy plan. Under that plan, GIGA’s senior lenders released GIGA and us in exchange for a settlement
payment. That payment was made on September 30, 2025, and it is anticipated that the plan will be effective, and GIGA will emerge from
bankruptcy, on November 28, 2025.
Change in Plan of Sales of AGREE Hotel Properties
On April 30, 2024, we had
a change in plan of sale for our four hotels owned and operated by Ault Global Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“AGREE”). As a
result, as of April 30, 2024, the assets no longer met the held for sale criteria and were required to be reclassified as held and used
at the lower of adjusted carrying value or the fair value at the date of the determination not to sell.
For presentation purposes,
the assets and liabilities previously held for sale as of December 31, 2023, were reclassified in the December 31, 2023 balance sheet
in the accompanying financial statements back to their original asset and liability groups at their previous carrying values. In connection
with this change in plan of sale, we recorded a loss on impairment of property and equipment related to the real estate assets of AGREE
of $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Deconsolidation of Avalanche International
Corp. (“AVLP”)
On
March 28, 2025, AVLP, a majority-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. As a result of the filing, AVLP became subject to the control of the bankruptcy court, and we no longer maintained a controlling
financial interest. Accordingly, we deconsolidated AVLP effective as of the petition date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we
recognized a gain of $10.0 million, which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025. We evaluated the criteria for discontinued operations and determined that the operations of AVLP did not meet the
requirements for such classification.
Deconsolidation of Eco Pack Technologies Limited
(“Eco Pack”)
On
April 16, 2025, Eco Pack, a majority-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a voluntary liquidation under the insolvency regulations in the UK.
As a result of the filing, we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, we deconsolidated Eco Pack effective
as of the filing date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recognized a loss of $0.4 million, which is included in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We evaluated the criteria for discontinued operations
and determined that the operations of Eco Pack did not meet the requirements for such classification.
4
Deconsolidation of a Subsidiary of RiskOn International,
Inc. (“ROI”)
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain of $2.7 million in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings for a subsidiary
of ROI. We deconsolidated the subsidiary as we determined that we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.
The gain recognized reflects the derecognition of the subsidiary’s remaining assets, liabilities, and equity balances. We evaluated
the criteria for discontinued operations and determined that the operations of the subsidiary did not meet the requirements for such classification.
General
As a holding company, our
business objective is to increase stockholder value through developing and growing our subsidiaries. Under the strategy we have adopted,
we are focused on managing and financially supporting our existing subsidiaries and partner companies, with the goal of pursuing monetization
opportunities and maximizing the value returned to stockholders. We have, are and will consider initiatives including, among others:
public offerings, the sale of individual partner companies, the sale of certain or all partner company interests in secondary market
transactions, or a combination thereof, as well as other opportunities to maximize stockholder value. We anticipate returning value to
stockholders after satisfying our debt obligations and working capital needs.
From time to time, we engage
in discussions with other companies interested in our subsidiaries or partner companies, either in response to inquiries or as part of
a process we initiate. To the extent we believe that a subsidiary or partner company’s further growth and development can best be
supported by a different ownership structure or if we otherwise believe it is in our stockholders’ best interests, we will seek
to sell all or a portion of our position in the subsidiary or partner company. These sales may take the form of privately negotiated sales
of stock or assets, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings of the subsidiary or partner company’s securities and, in the case
of publicly traded partner companies, sales of their securities in the open market. Our plans may include taking subsidiaries or partner
companies public through rights offerings and directed share subscription programs. We will continue to consider these (or similar) initiatives
and the sale of certain subsidiary or partner company interests in secondary market transactions to maximize value for our stockholders.
In recent years, we have provided
capital and relevant expertise to fuel the growth of businesses in AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services,
defense, industrial and hotel operations. We have provided capital to subsidiaries as well as partner companies in which we have an equity
interest or may be actively involved, influencing development through board representation and management support.
We
are a Delaware corporation with our corporate office located at 11411 Southern Highlands Pkwy, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141. Our phone

Sentinum
Revenues from Sentinum’s
crypto assets mining operations increased by $0.4 million, to $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to
$5.3 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million, or 30%, increase in revenue from self-mined
Bitcoin operations at Sentinum-owned and operated facilities. This increase was partially offset by the cessation of third-party hosted
mining operations, which generated $0.9 million of revenue in the prior-year period but none in 2025. The increase in self-mining revenue
was driven by an 88% increase in the average Bitcoin price during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period
in 2024, partially offset by a 51% increase in the average Bitcoin network difficulty level.

Energy revenues from Circle
8’s crane operations declined by $2.6 million, or 21%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period
in 2024. The decrease reflects a slowdown in demand from oil and gas customers, as many exploration projects were delayed or scaled back
amid continued market uncertainty. Key contributing factors included fluctuations in crude oil prices, softer global demand and trade-related
concerns, all of which impacted the pace of new project starts and the need for crane services.
AGREE
Revenues from AGREE’s
hotel operations increased by $0.4 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
The increase reflects incremental improvements in both occupancy and average daily rates, indicating continued progress in hotel performance
year-over-year.
Fintech
Revenues
from our lending and trading activities decreased $5.4 million to approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to $5.6 million the same period in 2024. Revenues from our lending and trading activities were $5.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, driven primarily by $2.6 million in realized gains from trading activities, $2.6 million in fee income,
and $0.6 million in unrealized gains on investment positions.
Revenues
from our trading activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 included net gains on equity securities, including
unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility
in our periodic earnings.
7
TurnOnGreen
TurnOnGreen’s revenues
increased by $0.5 million, to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million in the corresponding
period in 2024. This rise was primarily due to sales from two new customers during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Other
Other revenues were relatively
consistent year-over-year, totaling $0.9 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Gross Margins
Gross margins decreased to 26% for the three months ended September
30, 2025, compared to 28% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decline was primarily driven by unfavorable margins from
our crypto asset mining activities, partially offset by favorable contributions from our lending and trading activities. Excluding the
effects of margin from our mining, lending, and trading activities adjusted gross margins for each of the three months ended September
30, 2025 and 2024 would have been 38%.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses
decreased by $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to decreased expenditures related to development work on
ROI’s Bitnile social gaming platform.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses
were $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024,
an increase of $2.6 million, or 55%. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in sales and marketing expenses at ROI from
higher advertising and promotion costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expenses were $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 2024,
representing a decrease of $0.6 million, or 5%. The decrease was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of AVLP and Eco Pack, the completion
and wind-down of Ault Disruptive Technologies Corporation (“Ault Disruptive”) following the full redemption of its public
shares.
Impairment of Property and Equipment
During the three months ended
September 30, 2024, due to increases in the Bitcoin mining difficulty level, which compounded the impact of the Bitcoin halving event
that occurred earlier in 2024, we concluded that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Testing performed indicated the estimated
fair value of our miners to be less than their net carrying value as of September 30, 2024, and an impairment charge of $10.5 million
was recognized, decreasing the net carrying value of our crypto assets mining equipment to their estimated fair value.
In addition, we recorded $1.2
million in impairment charges related to real estate assets of AGREE during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income, net was $0.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to other expense, net of $7.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
Interest and other income
totaled $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
8
Interest expense totaled $3.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2024. Interest expense is lower
due to lower debt balances as well as lower forbearance fees and amortization of debt discount.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain of $2.7 million in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings for a subsidiary
of ROI. We deconsolidated the subsidiary as we determined that we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.
The gain recognized reflects the derecognition of the subsidiary’s remaining assets, liabilities, and equity balances.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million related to the pay-off of an
ROI note payable.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a loss on the sale of fixed assets of $0.7 million in connection with the sale
of equipment at Circle 8.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective tax rate from
continuing operations was a provision of 1.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 0.2% for the same period in 2024.
We recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Sentinum
Revenues from Sentinum’s
crypto assets mining operations decreased $9.6 million to $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to a $4.0 million decline in revenue from mined
crypto assets at Sentinum owned and operated facilities coupled with a $5.6 million decline in revenue from Sentinum crypto mining equipment
hosted at third-party facilities. The $4.0 million decrease in revenue from mined crypto assets at Sentinum owned and operated facilities
was due to the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event that occurred on the Bitcoin network and a 45% increase in the average Bitcoin mining
difficulty level, partially offset by a 70% increase in the average Bitcoin price for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to the corresponding period in 2024. No revenue was generated from third-party hosted mining operations in 2025.
Energy
Energy revenues from Circle
8’s crane operations declined by $1.9 million, or 5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period
in 2024. The decrease reflects a slowdown in demand from oil and gas customers, as many exploration projects were delayed or scaled back
amid continued market uncertainty. Key contributing factors included fluctuations in crude oil prices, softer global demand and trade-related
concerns, all of which impacted the pace of new project starts and the need for crane services.
AGREE
Revenues from AGREE’s
hotel operations increased by $0.8 million, or 6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
The increase reflects incremental improvements in both occupancy and average daily rates, indicating continued progress in hotel performance
year-over-year.
Fintech
Revenues
from our lending and trading activities decreased $3.0 million to approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower realized gains from trading activities and a reduction
in fee-generating transactions during the current period. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, included a $1.5 million
realized gain from the sale of an investment in other equity securities and $0.3 million in fee income, compared to $2.5 million in realized
gains from trading activities and $2.3 million in fee income during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
11
Revenues
from our trading activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 included net gains on equity securities, including unrealized
gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in
our periodic earnings.
TurnOnGreen
TurnOnGreen’s revenues
increased by $1.3 million, to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.8 million in the corresponding
period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher sales from two new customers during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Other
Other revenues increased by
$0.2 million, to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.9 million in the corresponding period
in 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher corporate aircraft charter revenue from third parties.
Gross Margins
Gross margins decreased to 24% for the nine months ended September
30, 2025, compared to 26% for the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by unfavorable margins from our crypto asset mining
operations, partially offset by favorable contributions from our lending and trading activities. Excluding the impact of lending and trading
activities and crypto asset mining, adjusted gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 would have been 36% for
both periods.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses
decreased by $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to decreased expenditures related to development work on ROI’s
Bitnile social gaming platform.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses
were $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
an increase of $3.5 million, or 28%. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in sales and marketing expenses at ROI from
higher advertising and promotion costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expenses were $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $33.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, a decrease of $3.3 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of AVLP and Eco Pack, the completion and
wind-down of Ault Disruptive following the full redemption of its public shares, lower salaries and benefits, lower performance-based
bonuses at Ault Lending and a reduction in stock-based compensation expense.
Impairment of Property and Equipment
During the three months ended
September 30, 2024, due to increases in the Bitcoin mining difficulty level, which compounded the impact of the Bitcoin halving event
that occurred earlier in 2024, we concluded that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Testing performed indicated the estimated
fair value of our miners to be less than their net carrying value as of September 30, 2024, and an impairment charge of $10.5 million
was recognized, decreasing the net carrying value of our crypto assets mining equipment to their estimated fair value.
On April 30, 2024, we had
a change in plan of sale for our four hotels owned and operated by AGREE. As a result, as of April 30, 2024, the assets no longer
met the held for sale criteria and were required to be reclassified as held and used at the lower of adjusted carrying value or the fair
value at the date of the determination not to sell. In connection with this change in plan of sale, we recorded a loss on impairment of
property and equipment related to the real estate assets of AGREE of $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The
fair values of property and equipment related to the real estate assets of AGREE were based on a discounted cash flow income approach
for the hotel properties and a comparable sales market approach for the vacant land assets.
12
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $4.9
million and $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest and other income
totaled $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest expense totaled $14.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2024. Interest expense is lower
due to lower debt balances as well as lower forbearance fees and amortization of debt discount.
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, we recognized a noncash gain of $17.9 million related to the conversion of White River common stock by ROI into marketable
equity securities. During the period, ROI transferred 6.7 million shares of White River common stock with a fair value of $19.2 million
at the date of transfer. In connection with these transfers, ROI converted a portion of its White River Series A convertible preferred
stock into common stock. No such gains were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a total net loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $3.4 million.
This amount includes:
· A loss of $2.6 million was recognized in connection with the February 25, 2025 issuance of an amended
and restated forbearance agreement with an institutional investor. As part of this agreement, we issued an amended and restated convertible
promissory note (the “A&R Forbearance Note”) with a principal amount of $3.5 million. The A&R Forbearance Note was
determined to be substantially different from the original note due to significant modifications, including an increased principal balance
and the addition of a conversion feature. Accordingly, the original note was derecognized, and extinguishment accounting was applied.
The $2.6 million loss reflects the excess of the value of the A&R Forbearance Note over the net carrying amount of the original note;
· A loss of $1.3 million related to a convertible promissory note issued on March 21, 2025. Although the
principal of the new note matched the principal and accrued interest of the exchanged notes, the combined fair value of the new note and
its embedded derivative exceeded the carrying amount of the original instruments. Accordingly, a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment was
recognized;
· A loss of $1.0 million related to a convertible promissory note issued on March 14, 2025. Although the
principal amount of the new note equaled the aggregate principal and accrued interest of the notes exchanged, the fair value of the new
note, including the embedded derivative liability, exceeded the carrying amount of the original notes. As a result, a loss on extinguishment
of $1.0 million was recognized; and
· A gain of $0.3 million resulting from the conversion of $0.7 million of convertible notes into 0.2 million
shares of Class A common stock, which had a fair value of $0.4 million at the time of conversion.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, the holder of ROI convertible notes converted $2.3 million of their senior secured convertible notes that had a fair
value of $0.9 million at the time of conversion and recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt. During the three months
ended September 30, 2024, holders of our convertible notes converted $2.0 million of convertible notes that had a fair value of $2.7 million
at the time of conversion and recognized a $0.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million related to the pay-off of an
ROI note payable.
Loss from investment in unconsolidated
entity was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing our share of losses from our equity method investment
in Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.
13
On March 28, 2025, AVLP, formerly
a majority-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a voluntary petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result
of the filing, AVLP became subject to the control of the bankruptcy court, and we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest.
Accordingly, we deconsolidated AVLP effective as of the petition date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recognized a gain of
$10.0 million, which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
On
April 16, 2025, Eco Pack, formerly a majority-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a voluntary liquidation under the insolvency regulations
in the UK. As a result of the filing, we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest. Accordingly, we deconsolidated Eco Pack
effective as of the filing date. In connection with the deconsolidation, we recognized a loss of $0.4 million, which is included in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain of $2.7 million in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings for a subsidiary
of ROI. We deconsolidated the subsidiary as we determined that we no longer maintained a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.
The gain recognized reflects the derecognition of the subsidiary’s remaining assets, liabilities, and equity balances.
Cumulative downward adjustments
for impairments for our equity securities without readily determinable fair values held at were $6.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, we recorded a $3.1 million loan loss reserve related to the promissory note from Ault & Company due to uncertainties
surrounding collection. The reserve was recorded within provision for loan losses – related party.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective tax rate from
continuing operations was a provision of 0.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 0.1% for the same period in 2024.
We recorded an income tax provision of $0.2 million and $47,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025,
we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.8 million, excluding restricted cash of $22.8 million, compared to $4.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents, excluding $20.5 million in restricted cash, as of December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily
driven by cash inflows from financing activities, including the sale of common stock, preferred stock and proceeds from notes payable
and convertible notes. These inflows were partially offset by cash used in operating activities, debt repayments and purchases of property
and equipment.
Net cash used in operating
activities totaled $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $10.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included $13.1 million proceeds
from the sale of crypto assets from our Sentinum crypto assets mining operations and $4.0 million proceeds from the sale of an investment
in equity securities, offset by operating losses and changes in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 included $6.4 million cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations.
Net cash used in investing
activities was $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025
included:
· $7.6 million investments in notes receivable, related party, offset by $2.5 million collections of notes
receivable, related party;

14
· $1.5 million investments in loans receivable;

· $1.3 million proceeds from the sale of investments in common stock, related party.
Net cash used in investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $3.8 million cash provided by investing activities from discontinued
operations.
Net cash provided by financing
activities was $60.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $22.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, and primarily reflects the following transactions:
· $37.6 million net proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock;
