Overview
We provide a comprehensive range of IT-related
services, including dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, data storage, managed security, backup and disaster recovery, and other related
services including consulting and implementing technology solutions for large enterprise and commercial clients across the United States
as well as small-and-medium sized businesses. We continue to sell our ManyCam software, which is a live streaming software and virtual
camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing apps and distance learning tools.
We have an over 20-year history of technology
innovation and hold eight patents.
Our IT and Cloud-Based Solutions
We sell and provide a range of services across
five core areas, each as further described below: managed IT security services, professional services, procurement services, secure private
cloud hosting, managed backup and disaster recovery and web hosting.
Managed IT Security Services
Our managed IT security services provide clients
with ongoing management and support of their IT systems and services under a subscription or contract-based model. Our managed IT security
services include proactive monitoring, regular system maintenance, comprehensive cybersecurity management, data backup, and disaster recovery,
as well as help desk support for users.
Professional Services
Our professional services include the design and
implementation of a wide range of IT products and services, such as cybersecurity, software planning, IT infrastructure, data center design
and configuration, designing and implementing on-premise, hybrid or cloud computing solutions, website development, developing or integrating
systems and software and IT cost management.
26
Procurement Services
We offer two types of procurement services to
our customers. We can either: (i) obtain software and hardware products on behalf of our customers, in which case our vendors drop ship
the products to our end customer, or (ii) obtain hardware or software on behalf of our end customers and perform additional configuration
and/or add additional inputs to the products before the products are shipped to our customer. In the instance where we sell hardware and
software products as a solution bundled with services, we typically obtain the products or software from our vendors, add the additional
inputs/configuration as detailed in the customer contract, and then ship the products to the end customer.
Secure Private Cloud Hosting
Our secure private cloud hosting offerings include
a digital infrastructure which consists of dedicated and fully isolated cloud environments designed to deliver security, control and compliance
for the business-critical applications and client data. We operate a secure private cloud from private suites in completely isolated areas
that are leased within two Tier 3 data center facilities located in Phoenix, Arizona, and Edison, New Jersey (the “Data Centers”),
pursuant to license agreements that extend until 2027 and 2026, respectively. Although we do not own or operate the Data Centers, we aim
to use the high-level operations and standards provided by the Data Centers through our license agreements to provide our customers with
secure and flexible cloud services.
We leverage state-of-the-art security measures,
including data encryption, network segmentation, advanced firewalls, multi-factor authentication and continuous monitoring to safeguard
against unauthorized access and cyber threats. We believe our secure private cloud hosting provides our clients with strong availability,
data integrity and reliable performance, while meeting stringent compliance requirements. Our secure private cloud hosting solutions are
backed by 24/7 support from our expert team, with the goal of delivering secure, flexible and resilient infrastructure tailored to each
client’s unique business needs. In the future, we plan to make arrangements with third parties to incorporate AI features into our
secure private cloud offerings.
Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery
Our managed backup and disaster recovery solutions
provide comprehensive protection for customers’ critical data and IT infrastructure, which is intended to ensure business continuity
and rapid recovery in the event of data loss, cyberattacks or system failures. We utilize advanced backup technologies with automated,
regular data backups, off-site replication and secure storage to prevent data corruption or loss.
Web Hosting
Our web hosting services consist of several advanced
security measures, including Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security (“SSL/TLS”) encryption, firewalls, distributed
denial-of-service (“DDoS”) protection, malware scanning, and secure server configurations. Our web hosting services include
features such as regular data backups, web application firewalls, strict access control policies and continuous monitoring and expert
support, all of which are intended to ensure our customers’ compliance with industry standards and provide a reliable and secure
environment for our customers’ online presence. Revenue from web hosting is included with managed information technology revenue
in the statement of operations.
Our ManyCam Software Product
We also support our ManyCam software, which is
a live streaming software and virtual camera that allows users to deliver professional live videos on streaming platforms, video conferencing
apps and distance learning tools. The ManyCam software provides multiple camera feeds, backgrounds and effects while also enabling users
to share presentations, spreadsheets and documents. We are integrating ManyCam as an offering for our new customers and seek to optimize
our cross-selling efforts of ManyCam with our other technology solutions.

Recent Developments
The Acquisition
On January 2, 2025 (the “Closing Date”),
we completed the acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc., a New York corporation (“NTS”), pursuant to that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among us, PALT Merger Sub 1, Inc., a New York corporation
and our direct and wholly owned subsidiary (“First Merger Sub”), PALT Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and our direct and wholly owned subsidiary (“Second Merger Sub”), NTS and NewtekOne, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the
sole stockholder of NTS (“Newtek”). Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date: (i) NTS merged
with and into First Merger Sub, with NTS continuing as the surviving entity (the “Interim Surviving Entity” and such merger,
the “First Step Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Step Merger, the Interim Surviving
Entity merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Step Merger” and, together with the First Step Merger, the “Acquisition”),
with the Second Merger Sub surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (in such capacity, the “Surviving Entity”). Following
the closing of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”), we changed our name from “Paltalk, Inc.” to “Intelligent
Protection Management Corp.”
The aggregate consideration we delivered to Newtek
at the Acquisition Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash (as adjusted pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the “Acquisition
Closing Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of our Series A Non-Voting Common Equivalent Stock (the “Series A Preferred
Stock” and such shares issued at the Acquisition Closing, the “Acquisition Closing Stock Consideration” and together
with the Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration, the “Acquisition Closing Consideration”). The Series A Preferred Stock will
automatically convert into one share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments),
upon the occurrence of certain qualifying transfers by Newtek to third parties. In addition to the Acquisition Closing Consideration,
Newtek is entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ”
section below.
The Divestiture
On the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition
Closing, we completed the sale to Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Meteor Mobile”), of our telecommunications
services provider, “Vumber”, as well as our “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications and certain assets
and liabilities related to such services provider and applications (the “Transferred Assets” and such sale, the “Divestiture”
and, together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Divestiture
Agreement”), by and among the us, our wholly owned subsidiaries Paltalk Holdings, Inc. (“Paltalk Holdings”), Paltalk
Software, Inc., Camshare, Inc., A.V.M. Software, Inc., and Vumber, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Meteor Mobile. As
a result of the Divestiture, we are no longer engaged in the business of providing video-based, live streaming, virtual camera and telecommunications
software to consumers, as and to the extent such businesses were previously conducted by us pursuant to the “Vumber,” “Paltalk”
and “Camfrog” applications (the “Business”). In addition, prior to the Acquisition Closing, we ceased all operations
of our “Tinychat” service and application.
The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to
us at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers
arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities (the “Divestiture
Closing Consideration”). In connection with the Divestiture, we are entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For
more information, see the “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ” section below.
Business Loan Agreement and Credit Agreement
and Revolving Promissory Note
On April 10, 2025, we, Intelligent Protection
LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“IPM LLC”), and Newtek Bank, National Association (“Newtek Bank”), a subsidiary
of Newtek, entered into that certain business loan agreement and that certain credit agreement and revolving promissory note (together,
the “Loan Agreements”), which provide for a secured revolving line of credit to us and IPM LLC in the maximum amount of $1,000,000
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreements (the “Facility”). The Loan Agreements are secured by substantially
all of our assets and the assets of IMP LLC. The Facility will mature on April 10, 2026. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility.
28
Stock Repurchase Plan
On May 8, 2025, our Board of Directors (the “Board”)
approved a stock repurchase plan for up to $400,000 of our outstanding common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Plan”), which expires
on the one-year anniversary of such date. Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in open market transactions at prevailing market
prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs,
and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased
will be determined by a committee of the Board at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of
our common stock, general market and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations.

Sources of Revenue
Our main sources of revenue are described below.
As a result of the variability of contract and service type, some of the revenue we report in each period is deferred revenue from contracts
we entered into during previous periods. This may make it difficult for us to quickly increase revenue through the entry into new contracts
in any period, and a decline in new or renewed contracts in any one quarter will negatively affect our revenue in future quarters. As
a result, revenue generated in prior quarters may not provide a reliable indication of future results.
Managed IT Security Services
Customers pay for our managed IT security services
on a subscription or contract-based model. Customers typically pay a recurring fee, which is generally based on service level agreements
that define the specific services and performance metrics. The unearned portion of managed IT security services revenue is presented
as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets.
Professional Services
Customers are invoiced for our professional services
either based on a time and materials basis or on a straight-line basis for all fixed fee arrangements. The unearned portion of professional
services revenue is presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. We are the principal in these transactions, as we
control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Additionally, we are primarily responsible for fulfillment
of the order and have pricing discretion. As a result, we recognize revenue from our professional services revenue on a gross basis.
30
Procurement Services
Our procurement services include either (i) obtaining
software and hardware products on behalf of our customers, in which case our vendors drop ship the products to our end customer, or (ii)
obtaining hardware or software on behalf of our customers and performing additional configuration and/or add additional inputs to the
products before the products are shipped to our customer. For both types of procurement services, each customer has their own negotiated
contract and payment terms. If a customer orders both hardware and additional configurations to those laptops, typically these will both
be covered under separate contracts. The services provided are considered distinct, as the additional configurations are not required
for the hardware purchased to operate effectively. Customers are invoiced, and revenue is recognized, when the purchased hardware is shipped,
as control transfers to the customer free on board (“FOB”) shipping point. We are an agent in these transactions because we
(i) do not obtain control over the product as products are drop shipped from their vendors directly to the customer; (ii) have no inventory
risk and (iii) have general pricing discretion in our transactions with customers. Our pricing discretion is limited by the going market
rate of our services offered by other providers. Based on this assessment, we recognize revenue from procurement services on a net basis.
Additionally, certain procurement contracts with
customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered
distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.
Secure Private Cloud Hosting
Our secure private cloud offerings include a
digital infrastructure which consists of servers that are dedicated to a single customer. We offer secure private cloud offerings
on-premise through our Data Centers as well as off-premise. Our secure private cloud offerings typically are one performance
obligation where we are providing the cloud storage to the customer and customers pay a monthly fixed fee for the service.
When a cloud-based service includes both on-premise
software licenses and cloud services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and, therefore,
accounted for separately, or not distinct and, therefore, accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Certain
cloud services depend on a significant level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the desktop applications and cloud
services, and are accounted for together as one performance obligation. Revenue from such cloud services is recognized ratably over the
period in which the cloud services are provided. The unearned portion of revenue from cloud services is presented as deferred revenue
in our consolidated balance sheets.
Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery
Pricing for our managed backup and disaster recovery
solutions is based upon the customer contract and depends on the amount of backup storage needed. Customers are typically charged set
rates per the contract and are charged monthly based on usage. There are typically no upfront fees for these contracts. Customers are
invoiced and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.
Web Hosting
Each customer of our web hosting solutions has
their own contract and payment terms. Contract duration is typically between 1-4 years, although the term may vary based on the customer’s
needs. Web hosting services customers pay a monthly fee and there are typically no upfront costs associated with web hosting services.
Customers are invoiced and revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.
31
Subscription Revenue
We also generate subscription revenue from monthly
premium subscription services for our ManyCam software. Subscription revenues are presented net of refunds, credits, and known and estimated
credit card chargebacks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, subscriptions were offered in durations of twelve-month
and twenty four-month terms. All subscription fees, however, are paid by credit card at the origination of the subscription regardless
of the term of the subscription. Revenues from multi-month subscriptions are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period where
the service is offered to the customer, indicated by length of the subscription term purchased. The unearned portion of subscription revenue
is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Strategy
Our strategic vision is to be the premier provider
of secure, reliable, and customer-focused IT solutions. We are committed to delivering scalable and compliant infrastructure through advanced
cloud hosting, managed services, cybersecurity, and disaster recovery offerings. By prioritizing security at every layer of our technology
stack, we safeguard our clients’ data and operations against evolving threats. Our emphasis on reliability ensures consistent performance
and uptime, enabling businesses to operate with confidence and continuity. Above all, we strive to exceed expectations through exceptional
customer service, building lasting partnerships and delivering strategic value that empowers our clients to thrive in a dynamic digital
landscape.
Customer acquisition remains a key focus to growth,
and we are actively investing in sales and marketing to expand our footprint across strategic verticals. In addition, we are exploring
targeted M&A opportunities that complement our core capabilities and accelerate our market reach. As part of our innovation roadmap,
we are also evaluating ways to integrate artificial intelligence into our service offerings to help clients improve operational efficiency,
enhance security, and unlock new value from their data.
Our strategy is to approach these opportunities
in a measured way, being mindful of our resources and evaluating factors such as potential revenue, time to market and amount of capital
needed to invest in the opportunity.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of compensation
and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in data center and customer care functions, credit card processing fees, hosting
fees, data center rent, bandwidth costs and, in the case of procurement, revenue the cost of the hardware and/or subscriptions. Cost of
revenue also includes compensation and other employee-related costs for technical personnel, consultants and subcontracting costs relating
to technology service revenue.
Sales marketing and product development
expense
Sales marketing and product development expense
consists primarily of (i) advertising expenditures and compensation (including stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs
for personnel and consultants engaged in sales and sales support marketing and development functions and (ii) development of the technology
of our applications, and consultant-related costs that are not capitalized for personnel engaged in the design, testing and enhancement
of service offerings. Advertising and promotional spend includes online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, and offline
marketing, which primarily consists of partner-related payments to those who direct traffic to our brands.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily
of compensation (including non-cash stock-based compensation) and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in executive management,
finance, legal, tax and human resources and facilities costs and fees for other professional services and cost of insurance.
32
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses consists
primarily of amortization of intangible assets as well as depreciation on property and equipment.
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As described above in the “ Recent Developments ”
section, we completed the Transactions in January 2025. As a result, our historical financial condition and results of operations for
the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward. For more information on the Transactions,
see Note 3, Acquisition and Note 6, Discontinued Operations , in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Form 10-Q.
Key Metrics
Our management relies on certain non-GAAP financial
measures to manage and evaluate our business. The non-GAAP financial measures set forth below help us evaluate growth trends, establish
budgets, measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies. Adjusted EBITDA is discussed
below. We also discuss net cash provided by operating activities under the “ Liquidity and Capital Resources ” section
below.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income
tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and net loss from discontinued operations.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key
measure used by our management and Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to develop short- and long-term
operational plans and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted
EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the cash operating income generated by our business. We believe
that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results, and it allows for a more meaningful
comparison between our performance and that of competitors.
33
Limitations of Adjusted EBITDA
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as
an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results
as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures
for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income,
net; other expense, net; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; and net loss from
discontinued operations. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces
its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider
Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP
results. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 2024
Revenue
Total revenue increased by 2008.5% to $5,722,599
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $271,409 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was driven by new revenue
streams acquired in connection with the Acquisition and the fact that revenue for the prior year period did not include revenue from discontinued

in sales marketing and product development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in salary-related

foreign and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective

of $72,007 consisting primarily of federal, foreign, state and local taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed H.R. 1,
the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, into law. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we will account for the tax effects of changes
in tax law in the period of enactment which is in the third quarter of 2025. We are currently in the process of analyzing the tax impacts
of the law change but we do not expect a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Currently, our primary source of liquidity is

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents
balance, our cash available through the Facility and our expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet all of our financial
obligations for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2025, we had $8,301,692 of cash and cash
equivalents, which included $1,014,714 of restricted cash.
Our primary use of working capital is related
to investment in marketing initiatives to grow the business in order to maintain and create new services and features in applications
for our clients and users. In the future, we may seek to grow our business by expending our capital resources to fund strategic acquisitions,
investments and partnership opportunities.
Stock Repurchase Plan
On May 8, 2025, the Board approved the Stock Repurchase
Plan for up to $400,000 of our outstanding common stock, which expires on the one-year anniversary of such date. We intend to utilize
the Stock Repurchase Plan to minimize the dilutive impact of awards granted under our equity incentive plans and to repurchase shares
opportunistically. Shares of common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices,
in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Stock
Repurchase Plan does not obligate us to repurchase any shares of common stock, and the Stock Repurchase Plan may be modified, suspended,
extended or terminated at any time by our Board. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by a committee
of the Board at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market
and economic conditions, alternative investment opportunities and other corporate considerations. As of June 30, 2025, 104,600 shares of common stock had been repurchased pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan.
NTS Acquisition
On January 2, 2025, we closed the Acquisition,
pursuant to which we acquired NTS through a two-step merger process. The aggregate consideration we delivered to Newtek at the Acquisition
Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. In addition to the Acquisition
Closing Consideration, the Acquisition Agreement provides that Newtek is entitled to receive an amount up to $5,000,000 (the “Acquisition
Earn-Out Amount”) based on our achievement of certain cumulative average adjusted EBITDA thresholds for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal
years. The Acquisition Earn-Out Amount may be paid, in our sole discretion, in cash (the “Acquisition Earn-Out Cash Consideration”),
in shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration”) or in a combination thereof. Pursuant
to the Acquisition Agreement, to the extent that all or a portion of the Acquisition Earn-Out Amount is paid in shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to Newtek will be calculated based on the average of the daily volume
weighted average prices of our common stock during each trading day during a 60 calendar-day period ending on December 31, 2026; provided,
that in no event shall such price be less than $1.00.
39
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, if the
issuance of the Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration would cause Newtek’s “total equity” (as calculated under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and as implemented and interpreted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System)
in us to exceed one-third of our total equity (the “Total Equity Cap”), then the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
issuable as Acquisition Earn-Out Stock Consideration will be adjusted so that we will issue to Newtek the maximum number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock that would not cause Newtek’s total equity to exceed the Total Equity Cap, with a corresponding increase
to the Acquisition Earn-Out Cash Consideration.
The Divestiture
On January 2, 2025, we completed the sale to Meteor
Mobile of the Transferred Assets. The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to us at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i)
$1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the
Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities. In addition to the Divestiture Closing Consideration, we are entitled to
receive, with respect to each Earn-Out Period, as defined and described below, certain payments in cash based on the cash revenue, net
of any refunds, received by Meteor Mobile that is attributable to the Business (such cash revenue, the “Legacy Business Revenue”),
as follows:
●
from the six-month period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025 (“Earn-Out Period 1”), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $3,500,000 and less than $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $4,250,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $4,250,000 multiplied by 0.40; and
●
from each of the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026 (“Earn-Out Period 2”), the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2027 (“Earn-Out Period 3”), and the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2028 and ending on December 31, 2028 (“Earn-Out Period 4” and collectively with Earn-Out Period 1, Earn-Out Period 2 and Earn-Out Period 3, the “Earn-Out Periods”), an amount equal to (i) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $7,000,000 and less than $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Legacy Business Revenue greater than or equal to $8,500,000, the amount of such Legacy Business Revenue in excess of $8,500,000 multiplied by 0.40 (the aggregate amount, if any, earned during the Earn-Out Periods, the “Divestiture Earn-Out Amount”).
In the event of a change of control (as defined
in the Divestiture Agreement) of Meteor Mobile during any of the Earn-Out Periods, we are entitled to receive an acceleration payment
in cash, net of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts previously paid to us (the “Acceleration Payment”). If any of the Transferred
Assets are sold independently from the other assets of Meteor Mobile, we will be entitled to (i) 50% of the aggregate consideration paid
to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers
by the date of the change of control, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date.
If any of the Transferred Assets are sold contemporaneously with other assets of Meteor Mobile, we are entitled to (x) the aggregate consideration
paid to Meteor Mobile for the Transferred Assets multiplied by the ratio of the trailing 12-month EBITDA of the Transferred Assets sold
and the EBITDA of all assets sold minus (y) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date
of the change of control, minus (z) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. The minimum Acceleration
Payment for the sale of “Paltalk,” “Camfrog” and “Vumber” is $1,650,000, $450,000 and $300,000, respectively,
and the Acceleration Payments payable to us are capped at $5,000,000 in the aggregate.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$856,105 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $103,210 for the six months ended
June 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributed
to the change in the business activities of the Company following the Transactions compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, specifically,
the collection of accounts receivable (favorable by $0.3 million), and the timing of payment of payables (favorable by $1.5 million),
netted against amounts collected by the Company during the second quarter following the Divestiture due to Meteor Mobile and paid subsequent
to quarter end of $0.4 million.
40
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4,280,149 and related to the cash consideration paid by the Company to Newtek in connection with the
Acquisition as well as the acquisition of fixed assets. There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$1,137,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was attributed to the $1,350,000 received in connection with the Divestiture
netted against the $212,798 used in connection with the Stock Repurchase Plan. There was no cash used in or provided by financing activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no other material changes to our
contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the contractual obligations and commitments section of Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination
of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be
material to the financial statements.
We believe the following critical accounting policies
affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Business Combinations
We apply the acquisition method of accounting
for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity recognizes all of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at their acquisition date fair values. We use our best estimates and assumptions to estimate the fair values of these tangible
and intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to the assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The acquired
intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Goodwill is reviewed
for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill
may be impaired.
