UNIVERSAL SAFETY PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
Universal Safety Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) design and market a variety of safety products. Most of our products require minimal installation, are designed for installation by the consumer without professional assistance, and are sold through retail stores. We also market products to the electrical distribution trade which includes electrical and lighting distributors as well as manufactured housing companies through our wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Safety Electric, Inc., formerly USI Electric, Inc. (“Universal Electric”). Products sold by Universal Electric generally require professional installation.
Sale of the Alarm Business
On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Feit Electric Company, Inc. (“Feit”), pursuant to which Feit agreed to acquire the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm portion of the Company’s business, together with certain intangible assets, including the trade names Universal Security Instruments, Inc. and Universal Electric, Inc. The transaction was approved by the Company’s shareholders at a special meeting held on April 15, 2025, and the sale closed on May 22, 2025. The Company intends to continue to import and market its remaining product lines, consisting primarily of ground fault circuit interrupters (“GFCIs”) and ventilation fans, and is exploring other business opportunities intended to drive long-term value for shareholders.
Universal DeFi, LLC
In July 2025, the Company formed Universal DeFi, LLC (“Universal DeFi”), a wholly owned subsidiary, to pursue two lines of business: (i) a tokenization platform, which has not commenced operations, and (ii) the operation of licensed nodes and a validator on the Ault Blockchain network. Through June 30, 2026, Universal DeFi had recognized no revenue and held no significant assets, and its activity consisted principally of legal and organizational start-up costs. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has not regularly reviewed discrete operating results of Universal DeFi, and has not allocated capital or other resources to the Company's activities based on any such review; decisions relating to Universal DeFi have been made as discrete strategic and investment matters rather than through the review of separate operating segment results. Accordingly, Universal DeFi does not meet the definition of a separate operating segment under ASC 280-10-50-1, and the Company has not presented it as a separate reportable segment. The Company will continue to evaluate this determination as Universal DeFi develops, and will reassess separate segment presentation if its discrete operating results become subject to regular CODM review for resource allocation and performance assessment.
On April 6, 2026, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“Ault Capital Group”), acting as authorized agent for Ault DAO, LLC (“Ault DAO”), transferred, assigned and activated 125,000 node licenses (the “Node Licenses”) to Universal DeFi on the Ault Blockchain network and the right to operate one validator, together with the wallet holding all reward tokens earned by the Node Licenses and by operating as a validator. Universal DeFi paid no cash for the Node Licenses.
Universal DeFi earns AULT tokens (“AULT Tokens”), the native digital asset of the Ault Blockchain, through emissions allocated to its Node Licenses in proportion to work performed and through transaction fees, priority tips and staking rewards attributable to its validator. As of June 30, 2026, Universal DeFi held approximately 425 million AULT Tokens. As of June 30, 2026, AULT Tokens were not being traded on any exchange or other market, and no observable market price or other reliable indicator of fair value existed as of June 30, 2026. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any asset or revenue with respect to tokens earned. See Note 3 for additional information on our accounting policies and Note 10 for additional information regarding related party transactions.
On June 30, 2026, Universal DeFi entered into a node revenue sharing agreement (the “Revenue Share”) with Ault Capital Group in exchange for the Node Licenses. Under the Revenue Share, Universal DeFi will pay Ault Capital Group 25 % of net proceeds actually received from the sale of tokens and rewards generated by the Node Licenses and the validator, and will retain the remaining 75 %. Payment is required solely from, and only to the extent of, such net proceeds, and Universal DeFi has no obligation to make payments from any other source. Ault Capital Group’s right to receive, and Universal DeFi’s obligation to pay, the revenue share terminates once cumulative payments total $ 93,750,000 .

Table of Contents
Universal DeFi has generated no revenue to date, has incurred losses since inception, and expects to continue to incur losses as it develops its operations.
2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 3.7 million, working capital of $ 3.4 million and a history of net operating losses for each of the three-month periods during the last year. The Company has financed its operations primarily through issuances of convertible debt and, in the prior fiscal year, through the proceeds of the Feit asset sale.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate cash flows from operations and find additional sources of funding through either equity offerings, debt financings, or a combination of any such transactions.
In June 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement providing for the sale of convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 10,600,000 , of which $ 1,060,000 in principal amount of notes were issued for $ 970,000 in cash proceeds funded during the three months ended June 30, 2026, net of a discount of $ 60,000 and issuance costs of $ 30,000 . The closing of the remaining tranches is subject to various contingencies, some of which are outside our control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that this financing will be available when needed, or that management will be able to obtain other financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our convertible notes.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities, that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the foregoing plans are unsuccessful and we are unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose all or part of your investment in our company.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Universal Electric and Universal DeFi. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2026 (the “2026 Annual Report”). Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future interim periods or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the valuation of the derivative component of the Company’s convertible notes, the provision for credit losses, the allowance for excess and obsolete inventory, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2025 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, the $ 1,681,937 decrease in inventories and intangible assets held for sale has
10
Table of Contents
been reclassified from investing activities to operating activities. The reclassification decreased net cash provided by operating activities from $ 2,752,110 to $ 1,070,173 and increased net cash provided by investing activities from $ 2,820,668 to $ 4,502,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The reclassification had no effect on the net increase in cash for the period, previously reported net income, or any balance sheet amount. This classification is consistent with the presentation in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
Node Licenses, Digital Assets and Related Revenue
The Node Licenses, the validator right and the AULT Tokens received by Universal DeFi are not traded on any active market and do not have a readily determinable or observable fair value. Because the Node Licenses, the validator right and the AULT Tokens received cannot be reliably measured, the Company has recorded no asset, and has recognized no revenue related to token emissions, transaction fees, priority tips or staking rewards.
The Company reassesses this conclusion each reporting period. If an active market for AULT Tokens develops such that the tokens have a measurable fair value, the Company would begin recognizing revenue from tokens earned, and the associated Revenue Share obligation, at that time.
Revenue Share - Ault Capital Group, Inc.
On June 30, 2026, Universal DeFi entered into the Revenue Share with Ault Capital Group, in its capacity as authorized agent for Ault DAO. Ault Capital Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyperscale Data, Inc. (“Hyperscale Data”). The Revenue Sharing Agreement acknowledges the April 6, 2026 transfer to Universal DeFi of the 125,000 Node Licenses, the right to operate one validator, and the wallet holding the related reward tokens.
In consideration of that transfer, Universal DeFi will pay Ault Capital Group a revenue share equal to 25 % of net proceeds, defined as the net cash, cryptocurrency, stablecoin and other proceeds actually received by Universal DeFi from the sale of tokens and rewards generated by the Node Licenses, less applicable transaction fees and will retain the remaining 75 % (the “Revenue Share”). The Revenue Share is payable solely from, and only to the extent of, net proceeds actually received by Universal DeFi. In no event is Universal DeFi required to make any payment to Ault Capital Group other than out of such net proceeds. Ault Capital Group’s right to receive the Revenue Share, and Universal DeFi’s obligation to pay it, terminate once Ault Capital Group has received cumulative Revenue Share payments totaling $ 93,750,000 .
Because the Revenue Share is payable solely out of net proceeds actually received from the sale of tokens and rewards, and no such proceeds were received during the period, no Revenue Share liability was recorded at June 30, 2026 and no Revenue Share expense was recognized for the three months then ended.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company continually assesses any new accounting standards to determine their applicability. When management determines that a new accounting pronouncement may affect the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes an analysis to determine whether any required changes should be made to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2025-01”), to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning April 1, 2027 (the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028) and for interim reporting periods beginning April 1, 2028 (beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2028), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-01; however, because the standard primarily affects disclosure requirements, the Company does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2025. Adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the 2026 Annual Report.
4. REVENUE
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company presents below revenue associated with sales of products acquired from Eyston Company Ltd. (“Eyston”) separately from revenue associated with sales of GFCIs and ventilation fans. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how its various product lines perform and are affected by economic factors. Revenue recognized by these categories for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:
Three months ended

Concentrations
The Company is primarily a distributor of safety products for use in home and business under both its trade names and private labels for other companies. The Company acquired all of the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm safety products that it previously sold from Eyston.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, four customers represented 40.5 %, 18.1 %, 18.0 %, and 13.3 % of the Company’s net sales, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, three customers represented 20.0 %, 18.4 % and 12.3 % of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable.
The Company had four customers in the three months ended June 30, 2025, that represented 16.5 %, 15.4 %, 12.8 %, and 10.1 % of the Company’s net sales, respectively. In addition, the Company had two customers that represented 19.1 %, and 12.5 % of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025.
5. RECEIVABLES AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. We have established a provision for credit losses based upon historical experience and the consideration of current and future economic conditions.
The Company previously assigned the majority of its trade receivables on a pre-approved non-recourse basis to Merchant Factors Corporation (“Merchant” or “Factor”) under a factoring agreement which expired in February 2026. At the time a receivable was assigned to our Factor, the credit risk associated with the credit worthiness of the debtor was assumed by the Factor. The Company continued to bear any credit risk associated with sales to customers that were denied credit by the Factor, disputed delivery, and/or had warranty issues related to the products sold. Management considered amounts due from the Company’s Factor to be “financing receivables”. Trade accounts receivable, foreign receivables, and receivables from our suppliers are not considered to be financing receivables.
Management assesses the credit risk of both its trade accounts receivables and its financing receivables based on the specific identification of accounts. A provision for credit losses is provided based on that assessment. Changes in the provision are charged to operations in the period the change is determined. Amounts ultimately determined to be uncollectible are eliminated from the receivable accounts and from the provision for credit losses in the period that the receivables’ status is determined to be uncollectible. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Our normal collection cycle ranges between thirty and forty days. Estimated uncollectible amounts are charged to earnings and credited to a valuation allowance. Balances which remain outstanding after reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Historically, the level of uncollectible accounts has not been significant. Based on the nature of the factoring agreement and prior experience, no provision for credit losses related to amounts due from Factor had been provided. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, a provision for credit losses of $ 767,000 has been provided for uncollectible trade accounts receivable.

6. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost (first in/first out method) or net realizable value. Included as a component of finished goods inventory are additional non-material costs. These costs include freight, import duty, tariffs, and inspection fees. We evaluate inventories on a quarterly basis and write down inventory that is considered obsolete or unmarketable in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Inventories consisted of the following:
June 30, 2026
March 31, 2026
Finished goods, gross
$
921,369
$
880,852
Less: allowance for excess and obsolete inventory
( 510,000 )
( 510,000 )
Finished goods inventory, net
$
411,369
$
370,852
The Company recorded no additional provision for excess and obsolete inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
7. LEASES
The Company is a lessee in lease agreements for office space. Certain of the Company’s leases contain provisions for one or more options to terminate or extend the lease at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company’s leases are comprised of fixed lease payments, with its real estate leases including lease payments subject to a rate or index which may be variable. Certain real estate leases also include executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component). As a practical expedient permitted under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company utilizes certain practical expedients for short-term leases including the election not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, as well as the election not to separate lease and non-lease components for arrangements where the Company is a lessee. Lease payments, which may include lease components and non-lease components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable lease amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the lease contract.
The Company’s operating lease for a 15,000 square foot office and warehouse located in Baltimore County, Maryland has been extended various times with the latest extension occurring on May 14, 2026, extending the lease on a month-to-month basis through December 2026. No option to continue the lease beyond December 2026 has been provided in the lease extension. Monthly rental expense, with common area maintenance, is approximately $ 15,000 .
The Company previously maintained an operating lease for office space in Naperville, Illinois. This lease consisted of 3,400 square feet, renewed on a month-to-month basis, and expired on June 30, 2025. The monthly rental, with common area maintenance, was approximately $ 4,900 per month during the lease term.
Because the Company’s remaining lease is month-to-month with a term of twelve months or less, no right-of-use asset or lease liability is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026. Rent expense, including common area maintenance, totaled approximately $ 67,371 and $ 43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. None of the Company’s lease agreements contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting standards regarding the fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define financial instruments and require disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
● Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
● Level 3 – Inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities. The Company’s financial instruments are measured at amortized cost when the fair value option is not elected.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026:

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent that the inputs are observable in the market. For instruments for which little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information, which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the Company’s securities, and liquidity risks. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or during the year ended March 31, 2026.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial instrument liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2026. We had no Level 3 financial instrument liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

9. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
2026 Convertible Notes
On June 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2026 SPA”) with SJC Lending, LLC (“SJC”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to SJC 8 % convertible promissory notes in up to eleven ( 11 ) separate closings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 10,600,000 . The first tranche closed on June 12, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and consisted of a convertible note in the principal amount of $ 1,060,000 , reflecting a 6 % original issue discount of $ 60,000 , issued for a purchase price of $ 1,000,000 . The Company paid $ 30,000 from the proceeds for legal fees and expenses related to the 2026 Notes.
The 2026 Notes mature on June 12, 2027, if not previously converted, and are convertible into shares of common stock at a discounted price equal to 80 % of the lowest volume weighted average price occurring during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The 2026 Notes bear interest at 8 % of face amount, compounded daily, and the Company recorded $ 4,240 of interest for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The $ 60,000 original issue discount and the $ 309,000 initial fair value of the bifurcated conversion feature described below were recorded for a total debt discount of $ 369,000 , resulting in an initial carrying value of the 2026 Notes of $ 691,000 . The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method, at an effective rate of approximately 66 % per annum, determined by solving for the rate that equates the initial net carrying value of $ 691,000 to the $ 1,148,274 of principal and compounded interest due at maturity. For the period from issuance through June 30, 2026, the Company recorded approximately $ 14,000 of debt discount amortization as interest expense, representing the excess of the effective-interest charge over the stated 8 % accrual, for total interest expense of $ 18,240 . As of June 30, 2026, the unamortized debt discount was $ 355,000 and the carrying value of the 2026 Notes, net of discount, was $ 709,240 .
The conversion feature of the 2026 Notes is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability. The 2026 Notes are recorded net of the fair value of the derivative component on the date of issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized as a gain or loss in

each reporting period within “Other income (expense)” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The derivative component was measured on the date of issuance using the Monte Carlo simulation model, and an original derivative liability of $ 309,000 was recorded on June 12, 2026. The fair value of the derivative liability was $ 263,000 as of June 30, 2026. Other income of $ 46,000 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2026, reflecting the change in the fair value of the derivative component from the date of issuance of the 2026 Notes through June 30, 2026.
2025 Convertible Notes
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2025 SPA”) with SJC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to SJC 8 % convertible promissory notes in three separate closings in an aggregate principal amount of $ 2,750,000 . In August and September 2025, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “2025 Notes”) to SJC for the full aggregate principal amount of $ 2,750,000 , for total cash proceeds of $ 2,500,000 . The 2025 Notes were scheduled to mature in August and September 2026 and were convertible into common stock at 80 % of the lowest volume weighted average price during the ten business days preceding conversion. Refer to Note B of the 2026 Annual Report for additional details regarding the 2025 Notes and the 2025 SPA.
On May 15, 2026, $ 842,631 of principal and $ 44,241 of accrued interest under the 2025 Notes were converted into 185,576 shares of the Company’s common stock. Interest expense related to the 2025 Notes, including $ 48,820 of amortization of the original issue discount, totaled $ 57,287 for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Following the conversion and as of June 30, 2026, the 2025 Notes had a $ 0 balance outstanding. The Company recognized $ 104,635 of other income during the three months ended June 30, 2026 for the change in fair value of the 2025 Notes derivative.
Embedded Derivatives
Under the provisions of ASC 815-40-15, Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions (“ASC 815-40-15”), we determined that the conversion features embedded in our outstanding notes are not considered indexed to our own common stock, principally because the conversion price varies with the market price of our common stock (a discount to the volume weighted average price) rather than being fixed. As a result, these features do not qualify for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a), and are bifurcated from the host debt and accounted for as derivative instruments, which are recognized as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
The 2026 Notes have been accounted for under the amortized cost method, with the derivative component bifurcated and recorded at fair value pursuant to ASC 815-40-15. The fair value of the derivative liability, measured using the Monte Carlo simulation model (Level 3), was $ 309,000 on June 12, 2026.
At June 12, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the assumptions used to measure the fair value of the derivative embedded in the 2026 Notes, using the Monte Carlo simulation model, included an exercise price of $ 4.88 and $ 3.62 per share, respectively, common share market prices of $ 6.10 and $ 4.59 , respectively, a discount rate of 34.7 %, and volatility rates of 90 % and 95 %, respectively.
We measured the fair value of the derivative portion of the 2025 Notes by using the Binomial Valuation model. As of March 31, 2026, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding notes included an exercise price of $ 3.92 per share, a common share market price of $ 5.16 , a discount rate of 3.53 % and 3.51 %, and a volatility of 85 % and 80 % respectively, for the notes issued in August and September 2025.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Nature of Relationships
Milton C. Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Vice Chairman and a director, is the Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, an issuer listed on the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE”). Henry Nisser, a director of the Company, is the President and General Counsel of Hyperscale Data and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Ault DAO. Ault DAO is a Wyoming limited liability company that serves as the steward for the decentralized autonomous organization, which operates the Ault Blockchain network. Ault DAO is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Hyperscale Data.
15
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2026, Hyperscale Data beneficially owned 1,045,252 shares of the Company’s common stock, held through Ault Lending, LLC (“Ault Lending”) and Alpha Structured Finance LP. Mr. Ault is deemed to beneficially own those shares, together with shares held directly and by Ault & Company, Inc.
Accordingly, Hyperscale Data, Ault DAO, Ault Capital Group, Ault Lending, Alpha Structured Finance LP, Ault & Company, Inc. and their respective affiliates are considered related parties of the Company.
Accounting for the Agreements
The Node Licenses and the AULT Tokens received are not traded on any active market and do not have a readily determinable or observable fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded no asset in respect of the Node Licenses, the validator right or the AULT Tokens received, and recognized no revenue related to token emissions, transaction fees, priority tips or staking rewards during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Because the Revenue Share is payable solely out of net proceeds actually received from the sale of tokens and rewards, and no such proceeds were received during the period, no Revenue Share liability was recorded at June 30, 2026, and no Revenue Share expense was recognized for the three months then ended. The Company will reassess these conclusions in each reporting period. If an active market for AULT Tokens develops such that the tokens have a measurable fair value, the Company would begin recognizing revenue from tokens earned, and the associated Revenue Share obligation, at that time.
Validator Hosting and Managed Services
The day-to-day operation, maintenance and hosting of Universal DeFi’s validator, including the cost of the dedicated server, are currently performed and borne by Ault Capital Group on Universal DeFi’s behalf at no charge to the Company. The Company estimates the value of these services to be immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and has therefore not recorded a corresponding expense and capital contribution. Universal DeFi expects to enter into a managed services agreement with Ault Capital Group or an affiliate of Ault Capital Group to formalize these services, under which the related costs would be charged to Universal DeFi. No such agreement was executed as of June 30, 2026, and the terms on which the services would be provided, including cost and duration, are not fixed.
Officer Credit Card Arrangements
During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, inventory purchases and other company expenses of approximately $ 11,000 and $ 83,000 respectively, were charged to credit card accounts of Harvey B. Grossblatt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and certain of his immediate family members. The Company subsequently reimbursed these charges in full. Mr. Grossblatt receives credit card benefits from these charges and the payment thereof. The maximum amount outstanding and due to Mr. Grossblatt at any point during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 may include amounts submitted for personal expense reimbursement and amounts paid by Mr. Grossblatt for inventory purchases or other company expenses and amounted to approximately $ 3,000 and $ 13,000 , respectively. There were no amounts due to Mr. Grossblatt as of June 30, 2026, and $ 13,298 was due at June 30, 2025.
11. INCOME TAXES
The Company calculates its interim tax provision in accordance with the guidance for accounting for income taxes in interim periods. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly pre-tax income or loss. The tax expense or benefit related to isolated events during the interim period is recognized in the interim period in which those events occur.
The Company recognizes a liability or asset for the deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These temporary differences may result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.
Management reviews net operating loss carryforwards and income tax credit carryforwards to evaluate whether those amounts are recoverable. After a review of projected taxable income, the components of the deferred tax assets, and current economic conditions, management determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits associated with the remaining components of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This determination was based on the Company’s prior history of losses from operations and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to use the deferred tax assets prior to their expiration. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was established to fully offset the value of the remaining deferred tax assets. The Company’s ability to realize the tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets depends primarily upon the timing of future taxable income and the expiration dates of the components of the deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents
The Company follows ASC 740-10, Income Taxes – Overall, which provides guidance for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and requires that the Company recognize in its condensed consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax matters are recorded as income tax expense.
12. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
In October 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2025 Non-Qualified Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which 1,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for the granting of stock options and other stock-based awards. The Plan is the Company's only equity compensation plan. In August 2025, the compensation committee granted 225,000 stock options at an exercise price of $ 3.40 per share, subject to stockholder approval of the Plan, which was obtained on October 20, 2025. These options became fully vested upon stockholder approval. As of June 30, 2026, 225,000 options remained outstanding and exercisable, and 775,000 shares remained available for future issuance under the Plan. Because the outstanding options were fully vested prior to the current period and no additional awards were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2026, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
13. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, potentially dilutive securities consisting of shares issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Notes and outstanding stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2025. As a result, basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are identical for both periods presented.
14. CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and routine litigation matters. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcomes of such matters are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in future years.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. On July 10, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale by SJC of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Notes. The filing of the registration statement obligated SJC to purchase the second tranche of convertible notes, in the principal amount of $ 530,000 for a purchase price of $ 500,000 . Purchases of the remaining tranches are subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement.
During July 2026, Universal DeFi entered into three separate participation agreements with Ault Lending. Under each agreement, Universal DeFi acquired a participation interest in a separate investment made by Ault Lending in the equity or equity-linked securities (the “Participation Securities”) of certain companies (a “Target Company”), entitling the Company to receive its respective participation percentage of the net amounts realized by Ault Lending from its ownership or disposition of the Participation Securities, after deducting related expenses and excluding any origination fee. The participation interests range from 1.7 % to 5.0 % and represent an aggregate commitment of approximately $ 1,466,667 , of which $ 650,000 was paid during July 2026 and approximately $ 816,667 remains payable in additional tranches, each due within one business day after Ault Lending notifies Universal DeFi that the corresponding tranche of its underlying investment in such Target Company. Each investment is speculative and illiquid, has no stated maturity, and the timing of any realization is within the control of Ault Lending.
In July 2026, the Company issued to SJC the second 2026 Note under the 2026 SPA, in the principal amount of $ 530,000 with a 6 % original issue discount, for cash proceeds of $ 500,000 . The 2026 Note bears interest at 8 % per annum (360-day year, compounded daily, increasing to 20 % upon an event of default), matures on July 29, 2027, may be prepaid at any time without penalty, and is convertible into common stock. Consistent with the initial tranche note, management plans to bifurcate the variable-share conversion feature as an embedded derivative measured at fair value under ASC 815.
