REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Agrify Corporation and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Agrify
Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, before the retrospective adjustments described in Notes 1 and 6, were audited by other
auditors whose report, dated April 15, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We have audited those retrospective
adjustments to the 2023 consolidated financial statements, as reported in the financial statements as of and for the year ended December
31, 2024, related to discontinued operations and the reverse stock split on October 8, 2024, as described in Notes 1 and 6. In our opinion,
such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures related
to the Company’s 2023 consolidated financial statements other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not
express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2023 consolidated financial statements as a whole .
Basis
for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Agrify Corporation and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have audited, before the effects of
the discontinued operations discussed in Note 1 and Note 6 and a reverse stock split discussed in Note 1, the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet of Agrify Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and the
related consolidated statements of operations , stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
before the effects of the discontinued operations discussed in Note 1 and Note 6 and a reverse stock split discussed in Note 1,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply
any procedures to the effects of the discontinued operations discussed in Note 1 and Note 6 or the reverse stock split discussed in Note
1 to the consolidated financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited
by other auditors.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency,
has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We
are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note
1 — Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Description
of Business
Agrify is a developer of branded innovative solutions for the cannabis
and hemp industries. Our Señorita brand offers consumers hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) beverages that mirror
well-known cocktails like a margarita – in three flavors – classic Lime Jalapeño Margarita, Mango Margarita, and Paloma.
Known for its clean, fresh taste and commitment to high-quality, natural ingredients, Señorita offers a low-sugar, low-calorie
alternative to alcoholic beverages and is available at top retailers including Total Wine, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and Binny’s
in nine U.S. states and Canada, with plans for expansion and future availability in premier on-premises destinations.
In
addition to beverages, Agrify has also historically been a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the
cannabis industry. The Company’s comprehensive extraction product line, which includes hydrocarbon, alcohol, solventless, post-processing,
and lab equipment, empowers producers to maximize the quantity and quality of extract required for premium concentrates. Additionally,
prior to its sale on December 31, 2024, our proprietary micro-environment-controlled Agrify Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”)
enabled cultivators to produce high quality products for the cannabis industry.
The
Company was formed in the State of Nevada on June 6, 2016 as Agrinamics, Inc., and subsequently changed its name to Agrify Corporation.
The Company is sometimes referred to herein by the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terminology.
The
Company has ten wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiaries” and the
Company also has ownership interests in certain companies.
On December 12, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets from Double
or Nothing, LLC (“Double or Nothing”), the owner and creator of the Señorita brand of hemp-derived drinks as part of
the Company’s strategic plan to reposition itself as a distributor of hemp-derived beverages (and similar products).
On
December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CP Acquisitions,
LLC (“CP”), an entity affiliated with Raymond Chang, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under
the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets from the Company relating to the Company’s Vertical Farming Units (“VFUs”),
including the related Agrify total-turnkey (“TTK”) solution assets and Agrify Insights TM software solutions (collectively
the “Cultivation Business”). The sale of the Cultivation Business occurred following signing on December 31, 2024. The results
of the Cultivation Business is presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been
excluded from continuing operations. Further, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Cultivation Business to discontinued
operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023. For further discussion on the discontinued operations, refer to
Note 6.
Reverse
Stock Splits
On
July 5, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively
adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
On
October 8, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share and per share information has been
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock splits for all periods presented unless otherwise indicated.
No
fractional shares of Common Stock were issued as a result of these reverse stock splits. Any fractional shares in connection with these
reverse stock splits were rounded up to the nearest whole share and no stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares. The reverse
stock splits had no impact on the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to its articles of
incorporation or on the par value per share of the Common Stock. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, the exercise price or conversion
price (as applicable) of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, and the number of shares reserved for issuance under
the Company’s equity incentive plan. All share and per share information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the impact of these reverse stock splits.

Nasdaq
Deficiency Notice
On
January 19, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department
(the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the previous
30 consecutive business days, the bid price for its Common Stock had closed below $ 1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price
required to maintain a continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the Minimum Bid Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) , the Company had 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must
be at least $ 1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days during this 180-day compliance period, unless the Staff exercises
its discretion to extend the minimum trading day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(G). On July 19, 2023, the Company
received a notice from Nasdaq confirming its compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2023,
the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) concluded
that, as a result of inadvertent errors in the accounting for warrants previously issued by the Company, it was appropriate to restate
the Company’s previously issued unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March
31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods in amended
quarterly reports for the affected periods. As a result of such restatements, the Company was unable to timely file the 2022 Form 10-K,
the First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q and the Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense.
On
April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq (the “April Nasdaq Notice”) that it was noncompliant with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) with the SEC
by the required due date.
On
May 17, 2023, the Company received
a second notice from Nasdaq (the “May Nasdaq Notice”) that it remained noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as
a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “First Quarter Form
10-Q”) with the SEC by the required due date.
On
August 16, 2023, the Company received a third notice from Nasdaq that it remain noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a
result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Second Quarter
Form 10-Q”) with the SEC by the required filing date (the “August Nasdaq Notice” and, together with the April Nasdaq
Notice and the May Nasdaq Notice, the “Nasdaq Notices”).
The
Nasdaq granted the Company an exception until October 16, 2023, to file its 2022 Form 10-K and First and Second Quarter 2023 Forms 10-Q.
The Nasdaq Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
On
October 17, 2023, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications
Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under the
Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the Second Quarter Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K for 2023
(collectively, the “Delinquent Reports”) in a timely manner.
On
November 16, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Listing Rule as a result
of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 with the SEC by the required
filing date (the “November Nasdaq Notice” and, together with the April Nasdaq Notice, the May Nasdaq Notice, and the August
Nasdaq Notice, the “Nasdaq Notices”).
On
December 1, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $( 17.17 )
million in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2023, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
(the “Primary Equity Listing Rule”), which requires that listed companies maintain a minimum of $ 2.5 million in stockholders’
equity. In response, the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which stayed any
further action by the Listing Qualifications Staff. The hearing was held on January 11, 2024. The Company arrived at the hearing having
previously cured any additional grounds for delisting as a result of delinquent periodic filings during 2023 that were filed prior to
the hearing.
On January 30, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Panel
had granted the Company’s request for an exception through April 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule. The compliance
date of April 15, 2024 represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion to grant continued listing while the Company is non-compliant
with Nasdaq Listing Rules. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing
rules or maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company’s Common Stock is delisted, it could be more difficult
to buy or sell the Company’s Common Stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s Common Stock could
suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
March 5, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business
days, the bid price for the Company’s Common Stock had closed below $ 1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required
to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).
The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The compliance period for the
Company expired on September 3, 2024. On September 4, 2024, the Staff notified the company in writing that it was eligible for an additional
180-day compliance period, or until March 3, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On October 8, 2024, the Company
completed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our Common Stock, in which each fifteen shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was
combined and converted into one share of Common Stock to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On October 22, 2024, the
Staff notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Accounting
for Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Agrify Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described above,
in accordance with the provisions required by the Consolidation Topic 810 (“ASC 810”) of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company includes results of operations of acquired
companies from the date of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Accounting
for Less Than Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
For
the Company’s less than wholly-owned subsidiary, Agrify Brands, LLC (“Agrify Brands”), the Company first analyzes whether
this entity is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) in accordance with ASC 810, and if so, whether the Company is the primary
beneficiary requiring consolidation. The Company continuously re-assesses (i) whether the joint-venture is a VIE, and (ii) if the Company
is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it is determined that Agrify Brands qualifies as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary,
the Company’s financial interest in the VIE is consolidated.
Based
on the Company’s analysis of this entity, the Company has determined that Agrify Brands is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary
beneficiary. While the Company owns 75 % of Agrify Brand’s equity interests, the remaining equity interests in Agrify Brands are
owned by unrelated third parties, and the agreement with these third parties provides the Company with greater voting power as the majority
owner. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interest in the financial statements of Agrify Brands under the VIE rules and reflects
the third parties’ interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a non-controlling interest. The Company records
this non-controlling interest at its initial fair value, adjusting the basis prospectively for the third parties’ share of the
respective consolidated investments’ net income or loss or equity contributions and distributions. These non-controlling interests
are not redeemable by the equity holders and are presented as part of permanent equity. Income and losses are allocated to the non-controlling
interest holders based on its economic ownership percentage.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the
Company evaluates estimates, which include estimates related to accruals, stock-based compensation expense, reported amounts of revenues
during the reported period, fair value of warrant liabilities, sales tax liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets, net realizable
value of inventory and collectability of trade accounts, intangible assets, goodwill, and litigation. The Company bases their estimates
on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ materially from those estimates or assumptions.
The
Company regularly evaluates its assets, including asset groups or reporting units, for impairment in accordance with GAAP. The Company
is aware of the impact that prolonged net losses can have on the fair value of underlying assets and the overall company. The Company
is committed to ensuring that the carrying amounts of its assets are appropriately assessed and adjusted for any impairment, reflecting
a true and fair view of its financial position.
Reclassifications
The Company effected a 1-for-20
reverse stock split of its Common Stock on July 5, 2023 and a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its Common Stock on October 8, 2024. All
share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented unless
otherwise indicated. The shares of Common Stock retained a par value of $ 0.001 per share. Accordingly, the Stockholders’ equity
(deficit) section of the consolidated balance sheets reflects the reverse stock split by reclassifying from “Common Stock”
to “Additional paid-in capital” an amount equal to the par value of the decreased shares resulting from the reverse stock
split.
Certain
amounts in the consolidated financial statements related to the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s
presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Discontinued
Operations
On
December 31, 2024, the Company entered into and closed a Purchase Agreement with CP. Under the Purchase Agreement, CP acquired assets
from the Company relating to the Cultivation Business.
As the sale of the Cultivation
Business represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, they have
been presented in discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, separate from continuing operations
for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as applicable. For further discussion, refer to Note 6.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist principally of cash and deposits with maturities of three months or less as of December 31, 2024 and December
31, 2023. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company’s marketable security investments primarily include investments held in mutual funds, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds.
The mutual funds are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as part of cash and cash equivalents. The
municipal and corporate bonds are considered to be held-to-maturity securities and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these investments was estimated using recently executed transactions and market price
quotations. The Company considers current assets to be those investments that will mature within the next 12 months, including interest
receivable on long-term bonds.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts
receivable, net, primarily consists of amounts for goods and services that are billed and currently due from customers. In accordance
with the current expect credited loss (“CECL”) impairment model under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326), accounts receivable balances are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which are an estimate of billed or borrowed amounts
that may not be collectible. In determining the amount of the allowance at each reporting date, management makes judgments about general
economic conditions, historical write-off experience, and any specific risks identified in customer or borrower collection matters, including
the aging of unpaid accounts receivable and changes in customer or borrower financial conditions. Accounts receivable balances are written
off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance
for credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration
of Credit Risk and Significant Customer
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities, and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds with original maturities of three months
or less, which are invested primarily with U.S. financial institutions. Cash deposits with financial institutions generally exceed federally
insured limits. Management believes minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial institutions and the Company has not experienced
any losses on such amounts.
The
tables below show customers who account for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues and 10% or more of the Company’s
accounts receivable for the periods presented.
For
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company did not have any customers that accounted
for 10% or more of total revenue.
As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s customers that accounted for 10% or more of the total accounts receivable, net, were

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Inventories
The
Company values all its inventories, which consist primarily of significant raw material hardware components, at the lower of cost or
net realizable value, with cost principally determined by the weighted-average cost method on a first-in, first-out basis. Write-offs
of potentially slow-moving or damaged inventory are recorded through specific identification of obsolete or damaged material.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are recognized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows:
Estimated Useful Life
(Years)
Computer and office equipment 2 to 3
Furniture and fixtures 2
Software 3
Vehicles 5
Research and development of laboratory equipment 5
Machinery and equipment 3 to 5
Trade show assets 3 to 5
Leasehold improvements Lower of estimated useful life or remaining lease term
The
estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate.
The Company charges maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred. When the Company retires or disposes of assets, the carrying cost
of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting
gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of retirement or disposal.
Costs
for capital assets not yet placed into service are capitalized as construction-in-progress and depreciated once placed into service.
During construction, costs are accumulated in a construction-in-progress account, with no depreciation. Upon completion, costs are transferred
to the appropriate asset account, and depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is defined as the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is
tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. A goodwill
impairment charge is recorded if the amount by which the Company’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying
amount of goodwill. Factors that could lead to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in
projected revenues, a deterioration of projected financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and/or a decline in the Company’s
market value as a result of a significant sustained decline in the Company’s stock price.
Goodwill
is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
there might be an impairment. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative
analysis for its goodwill impairment test. The Company applies the guidance in ASU 2011-08 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Testing Goodwill
for Impairment , which provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “Step Zero”)
to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. A goodwill impairment charge is recorded if
the amount by which our carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Factors that could lead
to a future impairment include material uncertainties such as a significant reduction in projected revenues, a deterioration of projected
financial performance, future acquisitions and/or mergers, and a decline in our market value as a result of a significant sustained decline
in our stock price. As a result of the Company’s Step Zero analysis, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary.
Warrant
Liabilities
The
Company evaluates all its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments
are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants
as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable
authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. Management’s assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial
instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all
of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common
Stock among other conditions for equity classification.
F- 13
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in
capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that are precluded from equity classification, they are recorded as
a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and subject to remeasurement on each balance sheet date with changes
in the estimated fair value of the warrants to be recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
Convertible
Notes Payable
The
Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative
financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments
requires that the Company identify and record certain embedded conversion options (“ECOs”), certain variable-share settlement
features, and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as
of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as an unrealized non-operating, non-cash income or expense
for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each
balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date
of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded conversion options, variable-share settlement features, and any related
freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument which is amortized to interest expense over the life of the
respective note using the effective interest method.
Debt
Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
The
Company may record debt issuance costs and/or debt discounts in connection with the issuance of debt. The Company may cover these costs
by paying cash or issuing warrants. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the debt. If a conversion
of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original
Issue Discount
Certain
convertible debt issued by the Company, may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The Company would record the original
issue discount to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the
debt.
Leases
The
Company determines at the inception of an asset contract if such arrangement is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease
if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company
classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
on its consolidated balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. A lease with an initial term of
12 months or less is not recorded on the balance sheet, but related payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
The
Company’s asset contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components may include maintenance, utilities,
and other operating costs. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components of fixed costs in its lease arrangements as a single
lease component. Variable costs, such as utilities or maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and
lease liabilities, but rather are expensed when the event determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid occurs.
Lease
liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected
lease term. The Company determines the present value of future lease payments by using its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate
for that lease term as the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The Company estimates its secured incremental
borrowing rate for each lease based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease
payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term.
Certain
of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The amounts determined for the Company’s right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities generally do not assume that renewal options or early-termination provisions, if any, are exercised unless
it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Contract
Liabilities
Contract
Liabilities includes amounts collected, billed in excess of revenue or customer deposits that the Company can recognize. The Company
recognizes contract liabilities and non-current contract liabilities as revenue as the related performance obligation is satisfied. The
Company records contract liabilities that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period as a current liability on the
consolidated balance sheets.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, contingent considerations,
long-term debt, related party debt, and warrant liabilities. Refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measures, included elsewhere in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements for details of the Company’s financial instruments.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company measures all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and consultants based on the fair value
on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the
vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Historically, the Company has issued stock options to
employees, directors and consultants with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line
method.
The
Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award
recipient’s payroll costs are classified.
The
Company estimates the fair value of each stock option grant on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that
qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve
in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend
yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Business
Combinations
The
Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the consideration paid is assigned to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The
Company’s management exercises significant judgments in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
as well as intangibles and their estimated useful lives. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors,
estimates of future expected cash flows, royalty cost savings and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These
judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in
adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination
of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities made after the end
of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.
Revenue
Recognition
Overview
We
generate revenue from equipment sales and hemp-derived beverage sales.
In
accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 606”), we recognize revenue from contracts with customers using a
five-step model, which is described below:
● identify
the customer contract;
● identify
performance obligations that are distinct;
● determine
the transaction price;
● allocate
the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
● recognize
revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue
is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer.
The Company satisfies its performance obligation upon transferring goods or services to a customer and transfers control upon the customer
taking possession.
F- 15
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Significant
Judgments
The
Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of equipment and, services which are generally capable of being distinct
and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Contracts with customers often 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. Once the Company determines the performance obligations, it
determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price,
if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on the standalone selling
price (“SSP”). The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
Judgment
is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the
performance obligation is sold separately and the methods of estimating SSP under the guidance of ASC 606. If the SSP is not observable
through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP, taking into account available information such as market conditions, expected
margins, and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. The Company typically satisfies its performance
obligations for equipment sales when equipment is made available for shipment to the customer; for services sales as services are rendered
to the customer.
The
Company utilizes the cost-plus margin method to determine the SSP for equipment and services. This method is based on the cost of the
services from third parties, plus a reasonable markup that the Company believes is reflective of a market-based reseller margin.
The
Company determines the SSP for services in time and materials contracts by observable prices in standalone services arrangements.
Payment
terms with customers typically require payment 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s agreements with its customers do not
provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained. In the infrequent instances
where customers raise concern over delivered products or services, the Company has endeavored to remedy the concern and all costs related
to such matters have been insignificant in all periods presented.
The
Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control of the goods as a fulfillment cost and
not as a promised good or service. Accordingly, the Company will accrue all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of
consumer goods at the time of shipment. The Company has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical
expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects
concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The
Company receives payment from customers based on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from the satisfaction of performance
obligations. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. The difference in the opening and closing balances
of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and
the customer’s payment. The Company fulfills obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services
in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration
is unconditional. The Company recognizes a contract liability when consideration has been received and the Company has a future obligation
to transfer certain proprietary products.
In
accordance with ASC 606, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the
current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority
of the Company’s remaining contracts meet certain exemptions as defined in ASC 606, including (i) performance obligation is part
of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less and (ii) the right to invoice practical expedient.
The
Company generally provides a one-year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple-year warranties
as negotiated, and generally transfers to its customers the warranties it receives from its vendors, if any, which generally cover this
one-year period. In accordance with ASC Topic 450, Accounting for Contingencies, (“ASC 450”) the Company accrues for product
warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company maintained a reserve for warranty returns of $ 47,000
and $ 0.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s reserve for warranty returns is included
in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. Additional information regarding the Company’s
warranty reserve may be found in Note 3 – Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet Information, included elsewhere in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
Research
and Development Costs
The
Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits and
other expenses associated with product development. The Company incurs research and development costs associated with the development
and enhancement of both hardware and software products associated with its extraction equipment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires, among
other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management
believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
When
tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities,
while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements
in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be
sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount
of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion
of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability
for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable
to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination.
As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The
Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position when it is effectively settled. ASC 740, provides guidance on how an entity should determine
whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. ASC 740 clarifies
that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority. For tax positions considered
effectively settled, the Company recognizes the full amount of the tax benefit.
The
Company’s provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period
presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the
full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ
from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income
(loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.
The
provision for income taxes represents Federal, state and local income taxes. The effective rate differs from statutory rates due to the
effect of certain nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate will change from quarter to quarter based on recurring and non-recurring
factors including, but not limited to, the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, and state and local income taxes. In
addition, changes in judgment from the evaluation of new information resulting in the recognition, derecognition or re-measurement of
a tax position taken in a prior annual period is recognized separately in the quarter of the change.
Tax
contingencies are recorded, if needed, to address potential exposure involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged
by tax authorities. These potential exposures could result from applications of various statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations.
Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions. Any interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s conclusions regarding
uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analysis of or changes in tax laws,
regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Net
Loss Per Share
The
Company presents basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to holders of the Company’s Common Stock in conformity with the one-class
method. The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number
of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted loss/income per share adjusts basic loss per share for the potentially dilutive impact of convertible
notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. As the Company has reported losses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and
2023, all potentially dilutive securities including convertible notes, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, are anti-dilutive,
and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share for those periods.
Net
loss per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock splits effected on July 5, 2023 and October
8, 2024.

expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively. Depreciation expense is recorded
within selling, general and administrative, and research and development depending on the nature of the related property and equipment.
Construction
in Progress (“CIP”) includes all direct and indirect costs related to the construction, development, or acquisition of tangible
property and equipment that is not yet ready for use. All costs incurred during the construction phase are accumulated in the CIP account.
Costs remain in the CIP account until the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Once the asset is ready for
use, the total accumulated costs are transferred from the CIP account to the appropriate property and equipment account. The asset is
then depreciated over its estimated useful life from the date it is placed into service. CIP is reviewed regularly to ensure that all
costs are accurate and that the project is progressing as planned. Any indication of impairment is assessed, and if the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold property and equipment with a cost basis of $ 0.02 million in exchange for proceeds
of $ 0.02 million, resulting in a loss of $ 0.003 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company disposed certain property
and equipment for a loss of $ 0.02 million, including $ 0.01 million of research and development laboratory equipment recorded as research
and development expense on the statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company retired certain fully depreciated

Resulting
from the 2021 acquisitions of Precision and Cascade from Sinclair (“Precision and Cascade”), the Company withheld from the
transaction shares issuable to Precision and Cascade for the purpose of securing any post-closing adjustment owed to the Company and
any claim for indemnification or payment of damages to which the Company may be entitled under the purchase agreement. The accrued acquisition
liabilities as of December 31, 2023 represent the value of this held back Common Stock at the price per share at the time of the transaction.
On
June 15, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Precision, filed an Amended Verified Complaint in the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware against Sinclair and certain individual defendants (the “Delaware Action”). The claims filed in the
Delaware Action concern various breaches of the plan of merger and equity purchase agreement dated September 29, 2021, by and between
the Company, Sinclair, Mass2Media, LLC, and certain of their members (the “Merger Agreement”). In response to the Delaware
Action, certain of the defendants filed counterclaims for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against the Company and Precision
alleging breach of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated December 14, 2023, the Company and Sinclair
dismissed all legal claims and entered into a settlement for an undisclosed amount. As a result of this settlement, the Company derecognized
the accrued acquisition liability and issued the held back Common Stock in the first quarter of 2024 at Agrify’s price per share
at the time of issuance. The difference between the value of the shares at issuance and the derecognized liabilities was recorded as
a gain within change in contingent consideration within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December

Fair
Values of Assets and Liabilities
In
accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company measures fair value at the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair
value, the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (the inputs) are based on a tiered fair value
hierarchy consisting of three levels, as follows:
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
F- 21
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level
2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or for similar
markets that are not active.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how
market participants would price the asset or liability.
Valuation
techniques for assets and liabilities include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and
may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable
inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.
At
December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were

and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, contingent consideration, operating lease liabilities,
long-term debt, related party debt, and warrant liabilities. Fair value information for each of these instruments as well as other balances
of the Company are as follows:
● Cash
and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value
based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
● Accounts
receivable are presented net of an allowance for estimated credit losses, which approximates
fair value.
● The
carrying value of lease liabilities approximates fair value due to the implicit discount
rates used in the determination of the lease liabilities being consistent with the Company’s
incremental borrowing rates at the time of lease inception and accounting for the duration
of the leases.
● Long-term
debt and related party debt, including the debt that has undergone troubled debt restructuring,
is carried at amortized cost, dictated by the prevailing market interest rates at the time
of each transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”).
● The
Company’s warrant liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period with the changes
in fair value of warrant liabilities recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised. The fair value of
the warrant liabilities are estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
● As
detailed in Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), during the year ended December
31, 2024, the Company amended Pre-Funded Warrants that had been issued to a related party
such that they again became liability classified. These warrants were marked to fair value
upon the execution of this amendment in August 2024. Through an additional amendment executed
as of December 31, 2024, the warrants again met the requirements for equity classification
and were marked to fair value at the moment of the amendment and then reclassified from liability
to equity. The warrants will not be marked to fair value on a recurring basis.

Warrant
Liabilities
The
estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes
option-pricing model are assumptions used in calculating the estimated fair values that represent the Company’s best estimate.
The volatility rate is determined utilizing the Company’s own share price and the share price of competitors over time.
However,
inherent uncertainties are involved. If factors or assumptions change, the estimated fair values could be materially different.

6 — Discontinued Operations
Cultivation
Business Discontinued Operations
On
December 31, 2024, the Company executed and closed the Purchase Agreement with CP for the sale of assets relating to the Company’s
Cultivation Business. The consideration for the sale of the Cultivation Business consisted of the assumption by CP of all the Company’s
secured indebtedness currently held by CP with an aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest of approximately $ 7 million, as
well as certain other liabilities related to the Cultivation Business. The sale represents efforts to strategically shift the Company’s
direction to focus on its hemp-related business operations. As a result, the Cultivation Business has been presented as discontinued
operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
The disposition resulted in a loss on sale of $ 11.9 million along with
a loss from discontinued operations of $ 1.5 million for a total loss of $ 13.4 million, which was recorded in net loss from discontinued
operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2024. The operating results of the Cultivation
Business were reported as a net loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations through December 31, 2024,
the date of disposition, and were considered material. The net loss from discontinued operations for the period ended December 31, 2023
represents the Cultivation Business’ operating results from the prior year. The assets and liabilities related to the Cultivation
Business have been separately classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

7 — Business Combinations
The
Company has determined that the below acquisition is a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations . It is accounted
for by applying the acquisition method, whereby the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair values with
any excess of the aggregate consideration over the fair values of the identifiable net assets allocated to goodwill. Operating results
have been included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition, December 12, 2024. The resulting goodwill
recorded primarily includes the expected synergies resulting from combining the operations of the acquired entity with those of the Company.
Supplemental pro forma financial information has not been presented as the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Acquisition of Señorita
On December 12, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets from Double
or Nothing, the owner and creator of the Señorita brand of hemp-derived THC drinks as part of the Company’s strategic plan
to reposition itself as a distributor of hemp-derived THC beverages and similar products. The aggregate consideration exchanged for those
assets consisted of 97,300 in Common Stock of Agrify as well as 432,700 pre-funded warrants (collectively the “Shares”) for
total non-cash consideration of approximately $ 18.8 million. In addition, Agrify forgave $ 0.4 million of debt as part of the consideration
exchanged. The fair value of the Shares was based upon the closing price of Agrify’s Common Stock as traded on Nasdaq on the date
of the transaction.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company prepared a preliminary purchase price allocation for the business combination. The preliminary valuation was based on management’s
estimates and assumptions which are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period (generally not more than one year from
the acquisition date). The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of the intangible
assets acquired and the residual goodwill. Due to the acquisition occurring within close proximity to year-end, access to GAAP financial
data and future forecasts were not able to be obtained to complete a final valuation analysis. As such, the intangible and goodwill values
are subject to change once additional data becomes available as the values were based on preliminary financial information. The following

intangibles are 7 years for Tradenames and 10 years for Customer Relationships with a weighted average useful life of 7.94 years.
The
Company recorded $ 18,000 of revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period December 12, 2024,
the date of acquisition, through December 31, 2024.
Transaction
and related costs, consisting primarily of professional fees, related to the acquisition, totaled approximately $ 0.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2024. All transaction and related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative
expense.

Exchange
Note
On August 18, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note with an original
principal amount of $ 35.0 million (the “Exchange Note”) to High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Original Lender”).
The Exchange Note was a senior secured obligation of the Company and ranked senior to all indebtedness of the Company. The Exchange Note
had an original maturity date of August 18, 2025 (the “Original Maturity Date”) and contained a 9.0 % annualized interest rate,
with interest to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning September 1, 2022. The principal amount of the Exchange Note would be payable on
the Original Maturity Date, provided that the Original Lender was entitled to a cash sweep of 20 % of the proceeds received by the Company
in connection with any equity financing, which will reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note.
F- 28
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
March 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Original Lender.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, at closing the Company prepaid approximately $ 10.3 million in principal amount under the Exchange
Note and exchanged $ 10.0 million of the remaining principal balance of the Exchange Note for a new senior secured convertible note (the
“Convertible Note”) with an original principal amount of $ 10.0 million. After the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the
August 18, 2022 Exchange Note had a remaining balance of $ 11.7 million. Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note” below
for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note. The following amendments have all been included in the sale
of the Cultivation Business. Refer to Note 6 - Discontinued Operations below for subsequent activity related to these amendments.
Convertible
Note
In
connection with the Exchange Agreement the Company issued the Convertible Note, which bore a 9.0 % annualized interest rate, with interest
to be paid monthly, in cash, beginning April 1, 2023. The principal amount of the Convertible Note would be payable on the Original Maturity
Date, provided that the Original Lender was entitled to a cash sweep of 30 % of the proceeds of any at-the-market equity offering and
20 % of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with any other equity financing, which would reduce the outstanding principal
amount under the Exchange Note or the Convertible Note.
At
any time, the Company would prepay all of the Convertible Note by redemption at a price equal to 102.5 % of the then-outstanding principal
amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued but unpaid interest. The Original Lender had the option of requiring the Company to redeem
the Convertible Note (i) on August 19, 2023 or August 19, 2024 at a price equal to the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible
Note plus accrued but unpaid interest, provided that the redemption right on August 19, 2023 would not be exercisable if the Company
raised at least $ 8.0 million in gross proceeds from equity offerings prior to such date, or (ii) if the Company undergoes a fundamental
change (as defined below) at a price equal to 102.5 % of the then-outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest.
The
Convertible Note imposed certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that would (i) restrict
the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions,
(ii) restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, and (iii)
restrict the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under the Convertible
Note occurred, the Original Lender can elect to redeem the Convertible Note for cash equal to (A) 115 % of the then-outstanding principal
amount of the Convertible Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the Original Lender), plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 15 % from the date of a default or event of default, or, only in
connection with certain events of default, (B) the greater of the amount under clause (A) or the sum of (i) 115 % of the product of (a)
the conversion rate in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date that the Original Lender delivers a notice of acceleration;
(b) the total then outstanding principal amount under the Convertible Note (in thousands); and (c) the greater of (1) the highest daily
volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending
on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Original Lender delivers such notice and (2) the highest daily VWAP
per share of Common Stock occurring during the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading immediately before
the date the applicable event of default occurred and (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Note.
Until
the date the Convertible Note was fully repaid, the Original Lender had, subject to certain exceptions, the right to participate for
up to 30 % of any offering of debt, equity (other than an offering of solely Common Stock), or equity-linked securities, including without
limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security, of the Company or its subsidiaries.
If
the Original Lender elected to convert the Convertible Note, the conversion price per share would be $ 114.60 , subject to customary adjustments
for certain corporate events. The conversion of the Convertible Note would be subject to certain customary conditions. The Convertible
Note could not be converted into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in the Original Lender and its affiliates owning
an aggregate of in excess of 4.99 % of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that upon 61 days’ notice, such ownership
limitation may be adjusted by the Original Lender, but in any case, no greater than 9.99 %.
The
Company evaluated the embedded features in accordance with ASC 815 and determined that the embedded features are not required to be bifurcated
and separately measured at fair value.
On
April 26, 2023, the Original Lender elected to convert $ 1.6 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount on the Convertible
Note for 10,241 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
F- 29
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
May 1, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Original Lender, pursuant to which the Company and the Original Lender
agreed to exchange or redeem $ 2.0 million of the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Exchange Note for a total of 29,679
shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99 % of the Company’s Common Stock. Due
to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99 %, a total of 4,638 shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued to the Original Lender,
with the remaining 25,042 shares held in abeyance until the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations.
As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the redemption of approximately $ 12 thousand. Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions
Note” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.
CP
Acquisitions Junior Secured Note
On October 27, 2023, CP, an entity affiliated with and controlled by
the Company’s former chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the Company’s Board, purchased the Exchange
Note and the Convertible Note from the Original Lender (the “Note Purchase”). In connection with the Note Purchase, CP agreed
to waive any events of default under the acquired notes through December 31, 2023. As part of the same transaction, the Company issued
a junior secured promissory note (the “Junior Secured Note”) to CP. Pursuant to the Junior Secured Note, CP would lend up
to $ 3.0 million to the Company. The Junior Secured Note bore interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, would mature in full on December 31,
2023 , and could be prepaid without any fee or penalty. On December 4, 2023, CP and the Company amended and restated the Junior Secured
Note agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the maximum principal amount that may be loaned by CP to the Company was increased
to $ 4.0 million and extended the maturity date thereon to December 31, 2024 . Refer to “Consolidated CP Acquisitions Note”
below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.
Convertible
Note Forgiveness
On
November 30, 2023, CP agreed to forgive $ 1.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the Convertible Note (the “Principal
Forgiveness”). The Principal Forgiveness was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470, as 1) the Company was
determined to be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and 2) the Principal Forgiveness was deemed a concession
by CP. Per ASC 470, a debtor in a troubled debt restructuring involving only modification of terms of a payable (i.e., not involving
a transfer of assets or grant of an equity interest) shall account for the effects of the restructuring prospectively from the time of
restructuring and shall not change the carrying amount of the payable at the time of the restructuring unless the carrying amount exceeds
the total future cash payments specified by the new terms. As the future undiscounted cash flows were greater than or equal to the net
carrying value of the original debt, the carrying amount of the debt at the time of the restructuring was not changed.
Consolidated
CP Acquisitions Note
On January 25, 2024, the Company and CP consolidated the outstanding
principal and interest due under the Junior Secured Note and the Exchange Note as well as the interest due under the Convertible Note
into the Convertible Note (collectively, with the Junior Secured Note and the Exchange Note, the “Consolidated Notes”), and
amended and restated the Convertible Note under a Senior Secured Amended, Restated, and Consolidated Convertible Note agreement (the “Restated
Note”) having a total outstanding principal of $ 18.3 million (the “New Lender Debt Consolidation”). The Restated Note
bore interest at a rate of 10 % per annum and would mature in full on December 31, 2025 . The Company could redeem all or a portion not
less than $ 5.0 million of principal at any time at a price equal to 102.5 % of the redeemed principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest.
The
Restated Note imposed certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, as well as covenants that (i) restricted
the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring any additional indebtedness or suffering any liens, subject to specified exceptions,
(ii) restricted the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries from making certain investments, subject to specified exceptions, and
(iii) restricted the declaration of any dividends or other distributions, subject to specified exceptions. If an event of default under
the Restricted Note had occurred, then the then outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Restated Note would
immediately become due and payable.
If
CP elected to convert the Restated Note, the conversion price per share would be $ 21.90 , subject to customary adjustments for certain
corporate events. The conversion of the Restated Note would be subject to certain customary conditions. The Restated Note could not be
converted into shares of Common Stock if such conversion would result in CP and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 49.99 %
of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Immediately
following the execution of the Restated Note, CP elected to convert approximately $ 3.9 million of outstanding principal into an aggregate
of 178,108 shares of Common Stock (the “January Conversion”) having a fair value of approximately $ 1.7 million. As the January
Conversion was exercised by the CP in conjunction and in connection with the New Lender Debt Consolidation, the two transactions combined
were considered a modification of the total debt outstanding with CP (the “CP Debt Restructuring”).
F- 30
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The CP Debt Restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring
under ASC 470, as 1) the Company was determined to be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and 2) the CP Debt Restructuring
was deemed to result in a concession by CP. The Company performed a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows associated with the Restated
Note subsequent to the CP Debt Restructuring to the carrying value of the Consolidated Notes as of the CP Debt Restructuring date. The
net carrying value of the Consolidated Notes was determined to exceed the undiscounted future cash flows of the Restated Note after consideration
of the January Conversion by approximately $ 0.7 million (the “CP Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value”). The Restated
Note was thus written down to the amount of the undiscounted future cash flows on the Restated Note from the CP Restructuring date to
maturity. Further, as CP was a related party of the Company, the CP Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value was accounted for as a capital
transaction and no gain or loss was recognized related to the restructuring.
Aggregate interest expense related to the CP Acquisitions Note described
above was $ .1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 6 - Discontinued Operations below for subsequent activity as
this Note relates to the sale of the Cultivation Business.
GIC
Acquisition Note
On
July 12, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “GIC Note”,
and, collectively with the Consolidated Note, the “Related Party Notes”) to GIC Acquisition, LLC (“GIC”), an
entity that is owned and managed by the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the GIC Note, GIC was
obligated to lend up to $ 0.5 million to the Company, $ 0.3 million of which was delivered at issuance and the remaining $ 0.2 million delivered
on July 31, 2023. The GIC Note bore interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, would mature in full on August 6, 2023, and could be prepaid
without any fee or penalty. The GIC Note ranked junior to all existing secured indebtedness of the Company. On October 27, 2023, the
maturity date of the GIC Note was subsequently amended to December 31, 2024 at which point principal and accrued interest will be repaid
in full. Interest expense incurred on the GIC Note amounted to $ 47.7 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. Refer to “Amendment
of Related Party Notes” below for subsequent activity related to the balance originating from this note.
Amendment
of Related Party Notes
On
May 21, 2024, the Company and CP entered into an amendment to the Restated Note (the “Consolidated Note Amendment”), pursuant
to which CP Acquisitions could elect, in lieu of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Restated Note, to instead receive
Pre-Funded Warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”). The conversion price applicable to the Pre-Funded Warrants remained unchanged
at $ 21.90 .
Immediately
following the execution of the Consolidated Note Amendment, CP elected to convert $ 11.5 million of outstanding principal into a Pre-Funded
Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 525,114 shares of Common Stock having a fair value of approximately $ 2.9 million (the “CP
Warrant Conversion”).
On May 21, 2024, GIC and the
Company amended and restated the GIC Note (the “Restated GIC Note”, and, collectively with the Consolidated Note Amendment,
the “Related Party Debt Amendments”) to increase the aggregate principal amount to approximately $ 2.3 million, extend the
maturity date to December 31, 2025, and provide that the Restated Junior Note could be converted into Common Stock of the Company or,
at GIC’s election, Pre-Funded Warrants, in each case at a conversion price of $ 4.65 .
Immediately
following the execution of the Restated GIC Note, GIC elected to convert all of the outstanding principal under the Restated GIC Note
into a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 492,204 shares of Common Stock having a fair value of approximately $ 2.7
million (the “GIC Warrant Conversion”, and, collectively with the CP Warrant Conversion, the “Related Party Warrant
Conversions”).
As
the Related Party Warrant Conversions were exercised in connection with the Related Party Debt Amendments by CP and GIC, related party
lenders under common control (the “Related Party Lenders”), the transactions combined were considered a modification of the
total debt outstanding with the related parties (the “Related Party Debt Restructuring”).
The
Related Party Debt Restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470, as i) the Company was determined to
be experiencing financial difficulties as defined by the ASC, and ii) the Related Party Debt Restructuring was deemed to result in a
concession by the Related Party Lenders. The Company performed a comparison of the aggregated undiscounted cash flows associated with
the Related Party Notes subsequent to the Related Party Debt Restructuring to the aggregate carrying value of the Related Party Notes
as of the Related Party Debt Restructuring date. The net carrying value of the Related Party Notes of $ 10 million was determined to exceed
the undiscounted future cash flows of the Related Party Notes as modified by the Related Party Debt Restructuring by approximately $ 10
million (the “Related Party Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value”). The aggregate carrying value of the Related Party
Notes was thus written down to the amount of the undiscounted future cash flows on the Related Party Notes from the Related Party Debt
Restructuring date to maturity (the “Restructured Related Party Debt”). Further, as the Related Party Lenders are related
parties of the Company, the Related Party Debt Restructuring Excess Carrying Value was accounted for as a capital transaction and no
gain or loss was recognized related to the restructuring.

The 2024 CP Note bore interest at a rate of 10 % per annum, would mature in full on July 1, 2025, and could be prepaid without any fee
or penalty. The note was subsequently amended to lend up to $ 3.0 million to the Company. The 2024 CP Note was secured by the Company’s
assets and ranked junior to existing secured indebtedness of the Company. The 2024 CP Note could be converted into Common Stock of the
Company or, at CP Acquisitions’ election, Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, in each case at a conversion
price of $ 3.9495 .

Green Thumb Convertible Note
On
November 5, 2024, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Note (the “Green Thumb Note”) to RSLGH, LLC (the “Investor”),
a subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb”). The Green Thumb Note is a secured obligation of the Company
and ranks senior to all indebtedness of the Company except for indebtedness held by CP Acquisitions and Mack. The Green Thumb Note will
mature on November 5, 2025 and has a 10.0 % annualized interest rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September
and March while the Green Thumb Note is outstanding, in cash, beginning January 1, 2025. The principal amount of the Green Thumb Note
will be payable on the maturity date. The Green Thumb Note provides for advances of up to $ 20 million in the aggregate, of which $ 10
million was advanced upon issuance.
The
Green Thumb Note imposes certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, including covenants relating to corporate
existence, indebtedness, liens, distributions, affiliate transactions, and issuance of other notes. If an event of default under the
Green Thumb Note occurs, the Investor can elect to redeem the Green Thumb Note for cash equal to the then-outstanding principal amount
of the Green Thumb Note (or such lesser principal amount accelerated by the Investor), plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default
interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 14 % from the date of a default or event of default, or, only in connection with
certain events of default.
If
the Investor elects to convert the Green Thumb Note, the conversion price per share will be $ 3.158 , subject to customary adjustments
for certain corporate events. The conversion of the Green Thumb Note will be subject to certain customary conditions and the receipt
of stockholder approval to the extent necessary under Nasdaq listing rules.
Borrowings
under the Green Thumb Note during the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $ 10 million which are recorded on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets in related party debt. Interest expense incurred on the Green Thumb Note amounted to approximately $ 156 thousand for the
year ended December 31, 2024.

11 — Leases
The
determination if any arrangement contained a lease at its inception was done based on whether or not the Company has the right to control
the asset during the contract period. The lease term was determined assuming the exercise of options that were reasonably certain to
occur. Leases with an original lease term of 12 months or less at inception were not reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet and those lease costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective term. Leases with a term greater than 12 months
were reflected as non-current right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance
sheets.
F- 32
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As
the implicit interest rate in its leases was generally not known, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate
for purposes of determining the present value of its lease liabilities. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate was determined
using the interest rate on a long-term debt position entered into at approximately the same time and for the same duration as the lease.
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company’s weighted-average discount rate utilized for its leases was 9.67 % and 7.51 %,
respectively.
The
Company had several non-cancelable finance leases for machinery and equipment, all of which ended or were terminated during 2023. As
of December 31, 2024, the Company had no active finance leases.
When
a contract contained lease and non-lease elements, both were accounted for as a single lease component.
The Company has several non-cancellable
operating leases for corporate offices, warehouses, showrooms, research and development facilities and vehicles. The Company’s leases
have remaining lease terms of one year to four years , some of which include options to extend. Some leases include payment for communal
area maintenance associated with the property. Cash paid for operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $ 0.5
million and $ 1.0 million, respectively.
During the year ended December
31, 2024, one of the Company’s leased assets was sold by the lessor to another counterparty, effectively cancelling the remainder
of the lease with the Company. There were no penalties arising from the cancellation. The Company recognized a gain on early termination
in the amount of $ 50 thousand in the period, calculated as the difference between the remaining right-of-use asset and lease liability
at the time of termination.

Public
Offerings
On February 27, 2024, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement
(the “Agency Agreement”) with Alexander Capital, LP (“Alexander Capital”) as placement agent (the “Placement
Agent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 184,000 shares of its Common Stock, and, in lieu
of Common Stock to certain investors that so chose, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 264,246 shares of its Common Stock (the “S-1
Offering”). The public offering price for each share of Common Stock was $ 5.70 , and the offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant
is $ 5.685 , which equals the public offering price per share of the Common Stock, less the $ 0.015 per share exercise price of each Pre-Funded
Warrant.
F- 33
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company issued 4,482 warrants to purchase Common Stock to Alexander Capital (the “Placement Agents Warrants”). The Placement
Agents Warrants were classified as equity and recorded under additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. The Placement
Agents Warrants have a five-year term and exercise price of 100 % of the offering price, and are subject to adjustment for stock splits,
reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Placement Agents Warrants will be exercisable on a cash basis, unless
there is not an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agents Warrants
or if shareholder approval for the full exercise of the Placement Agents Warrants are not received, in which case the Placement Agents
Warrants will also be exercisable on a cashless exercise basis at Alexander Capital’s election.
The
measurement of fair value of the Placement Agents Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions
as of the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $ 7.80 , exercise price of $ 5.70 , term of five years , volatility of 128 %, risk-free rate
of 4.32 %, and expected dividend rate of 0 %). The grant date fair value of these Placement Agents Warrants was estimated to be $ 31 thousand
on February 27, 2024, and is reflected within additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2024.
Equity
Line of Credit Facility
On
August 28, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Ionic Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement
with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”), pursuant to which Ionic committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $ 15.0 million of
the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time and at our sole discretion over the 36-month term
of the Ionic Agreement.
From
and after the date the registration statement relating to the resale of the shares sold to Ionic was declared effective, November 5,
2024, the Company may from time to time on any business day, by written notice delivered by the Company to Ionic, direct Ionic to purchase
between $ 250,000 and $ 750,000 of shares of Common Stock on such business day, at a purchase price per share that will be equal to 93 %
(or 80 % if the Common Stock is not then trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market) of the lowest daily VWAP over a specified measurement period
beginning after the delivery of the purchase notice, as described further in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Regular Purchase”).
The Ionic Agreement also permitted the Company to deliver an exemption purchase notice for $ 400,000 on the date of signing, with the
shares so purchased to be delivered following the Commencement Date, and the Company delivered an exemption purchase notice for $ 400,000
for the purchase by Ionic of 189,645 shares of Common Stock. On November 5, 2024, the Company issued 189,645 shares of Common Stock to
Ionic. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Common Stock to Ionic pursuant to the Ionic Agreement. Ionic has
no right to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Ionic, but Ionic is obligated to make purchases as the Company
directs, subject to certain conditions.
Related
Party Warrant Issuance
On
May 21, 2024, in connection with the Consolidated Note Amendment, the Company issued 492,204 and 525,114 Pre-Funded Warrants to GIC Acquisitions
and CP (the “Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants”), respectively, in exchange of notes payable amounting approximately to $ 2.29
million and $ 11.5 million, respectively. The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants can be used to purchase Company’s Common Stock with
par value of $ 0.001 at an exercise price of $ 0.015 . The Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants have been identified as freestanding financial
instruments and were determined not to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Warrants are precluded from being
classified within equity and classified as a liability with subsequent changes in fair value recognized each reporting period in earnings.
The fair value of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants on the issuance date was $ 5,600,334 determined as the intrinsic value.
On
June 30, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to which the Company revised certain
provisions of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to (i) remove the adjustment to the exercise price of the Related Party Pre-Funded
Warrants when there is a bona fide equity financing with the primary purpose of raising capital (the “Adjustment Provisions”)
and (ii) increase the threshold for a change of control from 50 % to greater than 50 %. The classification of the Related Party Pre-Funded
Warrants was reassessed upon the modification and the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants were determined to meet all of the additional
requirements for equity classification. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the Company remeasured the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants
to its fair value immediately prior to the modification and recognized the change in fair value of approximately $ 1.2 million in earnings.
The Company then reclassified the Pre-Funded Warrant liability to stockholders’ equity at its post-modification fair value of $ 6.8
million.
F- 34
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
August 12, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to add the Adjustment
Provisions at a future date. Pursuant to that approval, on August 28, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Related Party
Pre-Funded Warrants to insert the Adjustment Provisions. This resulted in a reassessment of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants such
that they no longer met the requirements for equity classification and became classified as liabilities. They were remeasured to their
fair value upon modification, resulting in a reduction in value of approximately $ 3.1 million. The fair value, as of August 28, 2024,
of $ 3,723,383 was reclassified to a warrant liability. As a result of the warrant amendments and the subsequent issuance of 189,645 shares
of Common Stock to Ionic at an effective purchase price of $ 2.109 per share of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying
the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrant held by CP was adjusted to 5,452,288 and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Related
Party Pre-Funded Warrant held by GIC Acquisition was adjusted to 1,085,122 . On August 30, 2024, CP partially exercised its Pre-Funded
Warrant and entities affiliated with Raymond Chang and I-Tseng Jenny Chan received an aggregate of 383,127 shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise.
On
September 27, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants to remove the Adjustment Provisions. Accordingly,
the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants met the requirements for equity classification. The amendment also included a provision preventing
the holders from any additional exercise of either of the Related Party Pre-Funded Warrants at any time between September 27, 2024 and
October 9, 2024. They were remeasured to their fair value upon modification resulting in an increase to the fair value of $ 18,392,143 .
The fair value as of September 27, 2024 of $ 20,770,707 was reclassified to equity.
PIPE
On November 20, 2024, the Company
entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with institutional investors and other accredited investors for the sale by the Company of
203,988 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, and pre-funded warrants (the “November 2024 Warrants”) to purchase
up to an aggregate of 949,515 shares of Common Stock, in a private placement offering. The purchase price for one share of Common Stock
is $ 22.30 and the purchase price for one November 2024 Warrant is $ 22.2999 .
Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable
into one share of Common Stock at a price per share of $ 0.0001 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and
will expire when such November 2024 Warrant is fully exercised.
Benjamin Kovler, Chairman and
Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, participated in the private placement to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the
same terms as other investors except for a purchase price of $ 38.76 .
The
gross proceeds to the Company from the private placement were approximately $ 25.9 million, before deducting the placement agent’s
fees and other offering expenses of approximately $ 0.1 million.
The November 2024 Warrants were classified as a component of stockholders’
equity. They are immediately exercisable and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise. In
addition, such warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return.
Mack
Warrants
In
October 2023, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to Mack Molding Co. in conjunction with the Modification and Settlement Agreement (the
“Mack Warrants”). The warrants have a three-year term and an exercise price of $ 60.00 per share, and are subject to adjustment
for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Mack Warrants will be exercisable on a cash basis,
unless there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants or if
shareholder approval for the full exercise of the warrants are not received, in which case the Mack Warrant will also be exercisable
on a cashless exercise basis at the Investor’s election.
The
measurement of fair value of the Mack Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current
at the date of issuance. The grant date fair value of these Investor Warrants was estimated to be $ 1.6 million on October 18, 2023 and
is reflected within additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2023. These warrants were terminated a part of the December 16, 2024
settlement.

with a weighted average exercise price of $ 18,610.56 and $ 23,938.80 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were 210 options

As
of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $ 6,302 , which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 0.27 years.
Stock
options granted under the Company’s 2022 Plan are generally non-qualified and are granted with an exercise price equal to the market
price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market
interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying Common Stock, expected option life, and expected volatility in the market value
of the underlying Common Stock. No stock options were granted during the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023.
The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with
a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s history of having never issued a dividend
and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. The Company calculates the expected volatility of
the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price for a period consistent with the
underlying instrument’s expected term. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and
directors. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur.

The
Company continually evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred
tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not. The Company
considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative
earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectation of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company
for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.
As
of December 31, 2024, based on the Company’s history of earnings and its assessment of future earnings, management believes that
it is more likely than not that future taxable income will not be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. Therefore full valuation
allowance has been applied to deferred tax assets.
Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, taxpayers are required to capitalize
any expenses incurred that are considered incidental to research and experimentation (“R&E”) activities under U.S. Internal
Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 174. While taxpayers historically had the option of deducting these expenses under IRC Section
174, the December 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act mandates capitalization and amortization of R&E expenses for tax years beginning after
December 31, 2021. Expenses incurred in connection with R&E activities in the U.S. must be amortized over a 5-year period if incurred,
and R&E expenses incurred outside the U.S. must be amortized over a 15-year period. R&E activities are broader in scope than qualified
research activities that are considered under IRC Section 41 (relating to the research tax credit).
As of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $ 197.6 million and $ 128.7 million respectively. Federal net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $ 0.7 million begin
expiring in 2036 and approximately $ 196.9 million have an indefinite life. Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards
generated after tax year 2021 are subject to an 80 % limitation on taxable income, do not expire and will carryforward indefinitely. State
net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $ 115.8 million begin expiring in 2039 and approximately $ 12.8 million have an indefinite
life.
F- 40
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
utilization of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to a U.S. federal limitation due to the “change in ownership provisions”
under Section 382 of the IRC and other similar limitations in various state jurisdictions. Such limitations may result in a reduction
of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards in future years and possibly the expiration of certain net operating loss carryforwards
before their utilization.

The
Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business,
the Company is subject to examinations by federal, foreign, and state and local jurisdictions, where applicable. There are currently
no pending tax examinations. The Company’s tax years are still open under statute from 2019 to the present in the U.S. and from
2019 to present in the Company’s foreign operations. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which
the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities
to the extent utilized in a future period.
As
required by the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Tax the Company recognizes the financial
statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position
following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company applied the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740, Accounting for Income to all tax positions for which the statute
of limitations remained open. Any estimates of tax contingencies contain assumptions and judgments about potential actions by taxing
jurisdictions. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be included as part of the income tax provision.
The
Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing
analysis of or changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.
Uncertain
Tax Positions
Our
unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 relate entirely to research and development tax credits. The total amount of unrecognized
tax benefits at December 31, 2024 is $ 1.2 million. If recognized, none of the unrecognized tax benefits would impact our effective tax
rate. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

Note 16 — Net
Loss Per Share
Net
loss per share calculations for all periods have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s reverse stock splits. Net loss per share
was calculated based on the weighted-average number of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.
Basic
net loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted
net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including convertible notes, outstanding
stock options, stock related to unvested restricted stock units, and outstanding warrants to the extent dilutive. Net loss per
share, assuming dilution, is equal to basic net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of
dilutive securities outstanding during the periods, including convertible notes, options, restricted stock units and warrants
computed using the treasury stock method, is anti-dilutive.
The
components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows:

The
Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, have been excluded
from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to holders of the
Company’s Common Stock is the same. The Company excluded the following potential Common Stock equivalents presented based on amounts
outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders for the periods

Bud
& Mary’s Litigation
On September 15, 2022, the Company
provided a notice of default to Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. (“Bud & Mary’s) and certain related parties notifying
such parties that Bud & Mary’s was in default of its obligations under the TTK solution between the Company and Bud & Mary
(the “Bud & Mary TTK Agreement”). On October 5, 2022, Bud & Mary’s filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
Massachusetts in Suffolk County, naming the Company as the defendant (the “Bud & Mary Complaint”). Bud & Mary’s
is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in connection with alleged unfair or deceptive trade practices, breach of contract and
conversion arising from the Bud & Mary TTK Agreement. While the Company believes the claim is without merit and will continue to vigorously
defend itself against Bud & Mary’s allegations, litigation is inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that the
Company will prevail in this matter. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company deemed it necessary to fully reserve for the outstanding
$ 14.7 million note receivable balance due to the current litigation and the uncertainty of the customer’s ability to repay the balance.
As of December 31, 2024, the allowance related to Bud & Mary’s was reduced to $ 14.4 million, reflecting a recovery of allowance
for credit losses resulting from a loan repayment of $ 330 thousand that was previously included in the allowance. The $ 14.4 million represents
the amount of the contingent loss that the Company has determined to be reasonably possible and estimable. The actual cost of resolving
this matter may be higher or lower than the amount the Company has reserved. If the Company is unable to realize revenue from its TTK
Solution offerings on a timely basis or at all, or if it incurs an additional loss as a result of the Bud & Mary’s claim, the
Company’s business and financial performance will be adversely affected. On November 14, 2022, the Company filed its answers and
affirmative defenses to the Bud & Mary Complaint and counterclaims. The Company is seeking, among other relief, monetary damages in
connection with the breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and enforcement
of the guarantees. This matter is still actively ongoing. The parties are required to report on status to the court on March 21, 2025.
This matter is subject to the Cultivation sale escrow litigation reserve agreement where the Company was required to fund $ 1.5 million
in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.
Bowdoin
Construction Corp. Litigation
On
February 22, 2023, Bowdoin Construction Corp. (“Bowdoin”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Massachusetts in
Norfolk County, Massachusetts, naming the Company (the “Bowdoin Complaint”), Bud & Mary’s and certain related
parties as defendants, captioned Bowdoin Construction Corp. v. Agrify Corporation, Bud & Mary’s Cultivation, Inc. and
BMLC2, LLC, case no. 2382CV00173. The Bowdoin Complaint relates to a construction contract between Bowdoin and the Company relating
to the property that is the subject of the Bud & Mary’s Complaint, and alleges breach of contract by Bud &
Mary’s and by the Company due to nonpayment of approximately $ 7.0 million due under the contract and related indemnification
claims and mechanics’ liens. $ 6.3 million is included in accounts payable and $ 700 thousand is included in accrued expenses
and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Two of Bowdoin’s subcontractors, Hannon Electric, Inc. and
Electric Supply Center Corp, have filed separate suits against Agrify in the amount of $ 1.498 million and $ 93 thousand,
respectively. These amounts are part of the $ 7.0 million claimed in Bowdoin’s Complaint. The Bowdoin suit and the
subcontractor suits have been consolidated. The Company has denied liability in all such suits. Bowdoin and Agrify are attempting to
work cooperatively to settle the subcontractor disputes. The parties are otherwise in the discovery phase which concludes in June
2025. This matter is subject to the sale of the Cultivation Business escrow litigation reserve agreement where the Company was
required to fund $ 1.5 million in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.
Mack
Molding Co.
In
December 2020, the Company entered into a five-year supply agreement with Mack Molding Co. (“Mack”) pursuant to which Mack
became a key supplier of VFUs. In February 2021, the Company placed a purchase order with Mack amounting to approximately $ 5.2 million
towards the initial production of VFUs during 2021. Since February 2021, the Company increased the purchase order with Mack to approximately
$ 26.5 million towards production of VFUs during 2021 and 2022. The Company believed the supply agreement with Mack would provide the
Company with increased scaling capabilities and the ability to meet the potential future demand of its customers more efficiently. The
supply agreement contemplated that, following an introductory period, the Company negotiated a minimum percentage of the VFU requirements
that the Company purchase from Mack each year based on the agreed-upon pricing formula. The introductory period was not time-based but
rather referred to the production of an initial number of units after which the parties have rights to adjust pricing and negotiate a
certain minimum requirements percentage. The Company believed this approach would result in both parties making a more informed decision
with respect to the pricing and other terms of the supply agreement with Mack. On October 11, 2022, the Company received a $ 9.4 million
invoice from Mack for inventory purchased on the Company’s behalf to build VFUs. As part of the terms of the contract manufacturing
agreement, Mack had the contractual right to bill the Company for any inventory that had aged greater than nine months. Due to a slowdown
in the demand for the VFUs and the lack of a demand forecast that the Company could provide to the vendor, Mack exercised the right to
invoice the Company for the slow-moving inventory. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a contingent liability in the amount
of $ 8.4 million, representing an estimate of the amount payable to Mack with respect to the original Mack purchase agreement, and which
was included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet. On March 2, 2023, Mack filed an arbitration action seeking the amounts
owed to Mack for purchased inventory. On October 27, 2023, and effective as of October 18, 2023, Mack and the Company entered into a
Modification and Settlement Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with respect to the dispute rather than engaging in
litigation through the courts.
F- 43
AGRIFY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
February 29, 2024, the Company met its contractual obligations under the terms of the Modification Agreement. In settlement of the dispute,
the Company made cash payments of $ 500,000 and $ 250,000 to Mack and issued to Mack a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock. In the first quarter of 2024, management derecognized the previously recognized contingent liability, resulting in a credit
of approximately $ 5.9 million, recorded within gain on settlement of contingent liabilities, on the consolidated statement of operations.
On
August 30, 2024, the Company and Mack entered into an amendment to the Modification Agreement, which modified the payment terms and VFU
purchase requirements under the Modification Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed to make payments of $ 1.0 million
prior to October 31, 2024 (the “October Payment”) and an additional $ 1.0 million prior to December 31, 2024. The Company
has not made the October Payment as of the date hereof, however the Company is working with Mack to extend the date of the October Payment.
The Company also agreed to purchase at least 25 VFUs prior to October 31, 2024 and a further 25 VFUs between November 1, 2024 and December
31, 2024. Upon payment in accordance with the terms of the amendment, the Company will be entitled to certain residual inventory in the
possession of Mack, and the warrant issued to Mack will be terminated. This matter was settled on December 16, 2024 as a precursor to
the Cultivation sale agreement and the corresponding warrants were terminated.
TRC
Electronics Litigation
The Company was named as
a defendant in a complaint filed by TRC Electronics, Inc. (“TRC”) on April 13, 2023 in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In the complaint, TRC asserts two causes of action against the Company: (1) breach of contract,
and (2) promissory estoppel. TRC’s claims are based on allegations that the Company failed to make payments due under three purchase
orders for commercial electronics parts. TRC was seeking damages in the amount of $ 0.5 million, plus attorneys’ fees, costs, and
post-judgment interest. This matter was settled in January 2025 for no cost to the Company.
McCutchan,
Inc.
In
December 2021, the Company entered into a standard form of agreement between Owner and Contractor whereby Valiant Group LLC (“Valiant”)
is the general contractor for tenant improvements on certain real property located in Bellevue, Washington (the “Project”).
McCutchan, Inc. (“McCutchan”) agreed to be a subcontractor on the Project and engaged various other subcontractors (the “Valiant
Agreement”). The Company terminated Valiant as the general contractor for, among other allegations, breach of contract and unjust
enrichment. Following the termination of Valiant, in October 2022, the Valiant Agreement was assigned and accepted (the “Assignment”)
to Agxion, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Assignment contemplates that, as a subcontractor to the Valiant Agreement,
McCutchan is still bound to the subcontract agreement and will continue construction operations on the Project. The Company is pursuing
Valiant in a separate litigation to collect no less than approximately $ 1.4 million alleging overbilling, breach of the Valiant Agreement,
and violation of Chapter 18.27 and 19.86 of the Revised Code of Washington. On March 5, 2024, McCutchan filed a complaint in the Superior
Court of Washington for King County naming the Company, Valiant, and certain related parties as defendants. In the complaint, McCutchan
asserts two causes of action against the Company: (1) breach of contract, (2) voidable contract, (3) interference with business or economic
expectancy, (4) unjust enrichment, and (5) defamation. McCutchan’s claims are based on allegations of misrepresentations made by
the Company to pay McCutchan for work completed on the Project as well as a failure to pay under the Valiant Agreement. In the alternative,
McCutchan is alleging the Assignment is void and not a valid contract. McCutchan is seeking to collect no less than $ 3 million against
the Company and all other named defendants. The parties are currently in the discovery process, initial discovery responses were due
on November 7, 2024. This matter is subject to the Cultivation sale escrow litigation reserve agreement
where the Company was required to fund $ 1.5 million in January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.
Valiant
Group LLC
The
Company filed two separate complaints against Valiant for overbilling, misrepresentation, and breach of contract for the Treehouse project
in Nevada and Hannah Project in Washington. Agrify obtained judgments against Valiant in Nevada for $ 4.5 million for the Treehouse project
and $ 10.0 million in Washington for the Hannah Project. Agrify has domesticated those judgments in Massachusetts and is seeking to enforce
them against Valiant, its successor in interest, Intrepid Investments LLC, and the principals of Valiant. Agrify filed an action for
supplementary proceedings to collect on the judgments. The action is in the early stages and there is no guarantee that the court would
award the full amount and no guarantee that Agrify would be able to successfully collect the full amount. This
matter is subject to the Cultivation sale escrow litigation reserve agreement where the Company was required to fund $ 1.5 million in
January 2025 into escrow for the benefit of settling this and other claims.

purchase but is now having problems with this equipment resulting in the claims against Precision, now owned by the Company. This case
was dismissed without prejudice by opposing counsel on August 1, 2024.
The Company is also a defendant
or plaintiff in a variety of other litigation matters that are individually insignificant. The timing and amount of any settlements, including
potential payments made or received, is uncertain. Nonetheless, management currently estimates that the Company’s aggregate net
loss exposure with respect to these cases is within the range of approximately $ 150 thousand to $ 300 thousand. Given the Company has determined
these losses are probable of occurring and reasonably estimable, an accrual was recorded in the amount of $ 150 thousand within general
and administrative expenses within the consolidated statement of operations.
On February 9, 2022, a former sales Vice President of the Company filed
suit against the Company claiming he is owed back wages, commission and is entitled to equity in the company, under theories of liability
under Massachusetts labor laws including retaliation, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraudulent
inducement, tortious interference and unjust enrichment. The Company filed its answer to the initial complaint in January 2023. The Company
believes this is a meritless claim and has responded to various discovery requests. Discovery is ongoing and a final pretrial conference
is presently scheduled for April 10, 2025.
