Notes
to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE
- SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reliance Global Group, Inc., formerly known as Ethos Media Network, Inc. (“RELI”, “Reliance”, or the “Company”), was incorporated in Florida on August 2, 2013.
Basisof Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), as the same may be amended from time to time. Capitalized terms not defined in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to capitalized terms as defined in the Form 10-K. Certain prior period accounts and balances in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto may have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
As
of March 31, 2025, the Company’s reported cash and restricted cash aggregated balance was approximately $1,812,000, current assets were approximately $3,850,000 and current liabilities were approximately $3,928,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $77,000 and stockholders’ equity of approximately $2,617,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $1,407,000 and net loss of approximately $1,737,000.
Although there can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company believes its financial position and its ability to raise capital to be reasonable and sufficient. Based on our assessment, we do not believe there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of filing these unaudited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Useof Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cashand Restricted Cash
Cash and restricted cash (restricted for debt service coverage) reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled to the total shown on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as follows:
SCHEDULE
OF RESTRICTED CASH IN STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $ | 388,379 | $ | 680,138 |

| Total cash and restricted cash | $ | 1,811,507 | $ | 2,112,985 |
RevenueRecognition
The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by line of business, showing commissions earned:
SCHEDULE

| March 31, 2025 | $ | 3,282,938 | $ | 36,947 | $ | 916,335 | $ | 4,236,220 |

| Disaggregates revenue | $ | 3,273,979 | $ | 56,217 | $ | 752,242 | $ | 4,082,438 |
The following are customers representing 10% or more of total revenue:
SCHEDULE OF CONCENTRATIONS OF REVENUES
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insurance Carrier | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Priority Health | 42 | % | 45 | % | ||
| BlueCross BlueShield | 16 | % | 13 | % |
No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s commission revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
IncomeTaxes
The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 because the estimated annual effective tax rate was zero. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company defers specific
incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual equity offering of securities and charges them against the gross equity proceeds of the offering once consummated. Such costs may include fees charged by underwriters, attorneys, regulators, printers and transfer agents. If the share offering is later aborted or withdrawn, these deferred costs are expensed at that time. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred financing costs amounted to $84,904 and $10,060 respectively, presented in the prepaids and other current assets account on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
RecentlyIssued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements not already disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

On July 1, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1-for-17 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split-2024”). The par value remained unchanged following the Reverse Split-2024. All share and per share information as well as common stock and additional paid-in capital have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split-2024 for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. The Reverse Split-2024 resulted in a rounding addition of approximately 110,350 shares valued at par, totaling $9,490 for which shares were issued in July 2024.
During
the first quarter of 2025 certain directors, executives, and employees were granted 999,995 shares of common stock in equity awards with a value of $2,049,675, vesting during the first and third quarters of 2025.

The Compensation Committee is also authorized to prescribe, amend, and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any shares and options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

NOTE
- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
If there is a loss from operations, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Similarly, if the Company has net income but its preferred dividend adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS.
The following calculates basic and diluted EPS from operations:

Item2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Reliance Global Group, Inc. (the “Company”) operates as a diversified company engaging in business in the insurance market, as well as other related sectors. Our focus is to grow the Company by pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy, initially and primarily focused upon wholesale and retail insurance agencies.
In the insurance sector, our management has extensive experience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. Our primary strategy is to identify specific risk to reward arbitrage opportunities and develop these on a national platform, thereby increasing revenues and returns, and then identify and acquire undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments, expand and optimize their operations, and achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows.
As part of our growth and acquisition strategy, we continue to survey the current insurance market for value-add acquisition opportunities. As of March 31, 2025, we had acquired nine insurance agencies.
Over the next 12 months, we plan to focus on the expansion and growth of our business through continued asset acquisitions in insurance markets and organic growth of our current insurance operations through geographic expansion and market share growth. To that end, on May 14, 2024, and as further amended on September 6, 2024, October 29, 2024 and February 20, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”) to acquire Spetner Associates (“Spetner”), a well-established benefits enrollment company that, through its BenManage benefits enrollment company, is a leading provider of voluntary benefits to over 75,000 employees throughout the United States. Pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to: (i) acquire 80% of Spetner’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Spetner Common Stock”) for $16,050,000 (which amount was to be paid as $6,500,000 in cash, the issuance of certain shares of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s issuance of a promissory notes to the sellers); and (ii) have the sole option to acquire the remaining 20% of the Spetner Common Stock for a predetermined amount based on a multiple of EBITDA
Further, we launched our 5MinuteInsure.com (“5MI”) Insurtech platform during 2021, which expanded our national footprint. 5MI is a high-tech proprietary tool developed by us as a business to consumer portal which enables consumers to instantly compare quotes from multiple carriers and purchase their car and home insurance in a time efficient and effective manner. 5MI taps into the growing number of online shoppers and utilizes advanced artificial intelligence and data mining techniques, to provide competitive insurance quotes in around 5 minutes with minimal data input needed from the consumer. The platform currently operates in 46 states offering coverage with up to 30 highly rated insurance carriers.
With the acquisition of Barra, we launched RELI Exchange, our business-to-business (“B2B”) InsurTech platform and agency partner network that builds on the artificial intelligence and data mining backbone of 5MinuteInsure.com. Through RELI Exchange we on-board agency partners and provide them with an InsurTech platform white labeled, designed and branded specifically for their business. This combines the best of digital and human capabilities by providing our agency partners and their customers quotes from multiple carriers within minutes. Since its inception, RELI Exchange has increased its agent roster by more than 300%.
BusinessOperations
We’ve adopted a “OneFirm” strategy, pursuant to which Company owned and operated agencies come together to operate as one cohesive unit, which allows for efficient and effective cross-selling, cross-collaboration, and the effective deployment of the Company’s human capital. This strategy also aims to enhance the Company’s overall market presence across the U.S., with all business lines operating under the RELI Exchange brand. It’s expected to benefit agents and clients by improving relationships with carriers, leading to better commission and bonus contracts due to higher business volumes. The approach also strengthens the capability of RELI Exchange agency partners in securing diverse insurance policies and fosters increased cross-selling opportunities. This unified strategy positions the Company for rapid scaling and integration of accretive acquisitions, expanding its industry reach.
BusinessTrends and Uncertainties
The insurance intermediary business is highly competitive, and we actively compete with numerous firms for customers and insurance companies, many of which have relationships with insurance companies, or have a significant presence in niche insurance markets that may give them an advantage over us. Other competitive concerns may include the quality of our products and services, our pricing and the ability of some of our customers to self-insure and the entrance of technology companies into the insurance intermediary business. Several insurance companies are engaged in the direct sale of insurance, primarily to individuals, and do not pay commissions to agents and brokers.
FinancialInstruments
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of derivative warrants. These were accounted for at fair value as of inception/issuance date, and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, (non-cash) gain or loss. As of June 18, 2024, the majority of the derivative warrants were exercised and as of March 31, 2025 only a nominal and immaterial amount remained outstanding.
InsuranceOperations
Our insurance operations focus on the acquisition and management of insurance agencies throughout the U.S. Our primary focus is to pinpoint undervalued wholesale and retail insurance agencies with operations in growing or underserved segments (including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines). We then focus on expanding their operations on a national platform and improving operational efficiencies to achieve asset value appreciation while generating interim cash flows. In the insurance sector, our management team has over 100 years of experience acquiring and managing insurance portfolios in several states, as well as developing specialized programs targeting niche markets. We plan to accomplish these objectives by acquiring wholesale and retail insurance agencies it deems to represent a good buying opportunity (as opposed to insurance carriers) as insurance agencies bear no insurance risk. Once acquired, we plan to develop them on a national platform to increase revenues and profits through a synergetic structure. The Company is initially focused on segments that are underserved or growing, including healthcare and Medicare, as well as personal and commercial insurance lines.

InsuranceAcquisitions and Strategic Activities
As of March 31, 2025, we have acquired multiple insurance brokerages (see table below). As our acquisition strategy continues, our reach within the insurance arena can provide us with the ability to offer lower rates, which could boost our competitive position within the industry. In furtherance of this strategy, as discussed above, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement to acquire Spetner Associates (“Spetner”) for cash, stock and issuance of certain promissory notes to the sellers. Spetner is a well-established benefits enrollment company that, through its BenManage benefits enrollment company, is a leading provider of voluntary benefits to over 75,000 employees throughout the United States. Completion of the transaction is subject to standard and stipulated closing.

RecentDevelopments
ReverseStock Split
On July 1, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1-for-17 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split-2024”). The par value remained unchanged. All share and per share information, as well as common stock and additional paid-in capital, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split-2024 for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. The Reverse Split-2024 resulted in a rounding addition of approximately 110,350 shares valued at par, totaling $9,490 for which shares were issued in July 2024.
Non-GAAPFinancial Measure
The Company believes certain financial measures which meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G of the SEC rules, provide important supplemental information. Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”), our key financial performance metric, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). “AEBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) with additional adjustments as further outlined below. The Company considers AEBITDA an important financial metric because it provides a meaningful financial measure of the quality of the Company’s operational, cash impacted and recurring earnings and operating performance across reporting periods. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, which might limit its usefulness as a comparative measure to other companies in the industry. AEBITDA is used by management in addition to and in conjunction (and not as a substitute) with the results presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses AEBITDA to evaluate the Company’s operational performance, including earnings across reporting periods and the merits for implementing cost-cutting measures. We have presented AEBITDA solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of results of operations and assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Consistent with Regulation G, a description of such information is provided below herein and tabular reconciliations of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information to our most comparable GAAP information are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Results of Operations”.

| --- |
We exclude the following items when calculating AEBITDA, and the following items define our non-GAAP financial measure AEBITDA:
| ● | Interest<br> and related party interest expense: Unrelated to core Company operations and excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental information<br> regarding the Company’s core operational performance. |
|---|---|
| ● | Depreciation<br> and amortization: Non-cash charge, excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s core<br> operational performance. |
| ● | Goodwill<br> and/or asset impairments: Non-cash charge, excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s<br> core operational performance. |
| ● | Equity-based<br> compensation: Non-cash compensation provided to employees and service providers, excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental<br> information regarding the Company’s core cash impacted operational performance. |
| ● | Change<br> in estimated acquisition earn-out payables: An earn-out liability is a liability to the seller upon an acquisition which is contingent<br> on future earnings. These liabilities are valued at each reporting period and the changes are reported as either a gain or loss in<br> the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables account in the consolidated statements of operations. The gain or loss is non-cash,<br> can be highly volatile and overall is not deemed relevant to ongoing operations, thus, it’s excluded to provide more meaningful<br> supplemental information regarding the Company’s core operational performance. |
| ● | Recognition<br> and change in fair value of warrant liabilities: This account includes changes to derivative warrant liabilities which are valued<br> at each reporting period and could result in either a gain or loss. The period changes do not impact cash, can be highly volatile,<br> and are unrelated to ongoing operations, and thus are excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental information regarding the<br> Company’s core operational performance. |
| ● | Other<br> income (expense), net: Includes certain non-routine income or expenses and other individually de minimis items and is thus excluded<br> as unrelated to core operations of the company. |
| ● | Transactional<br> costs: This includes expenses related to mergers, acquisitions, financings and refinancings, and amendments or modification to indebtedness.<br> These costs are unrelated to primary Company operations and are excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental information regarding<br> the Company’s core operational performance. |
| ● | Non-recuring<br> costs: This account includes non-recurring non-operational items, related to costs incurred for a legal suit the Company has filed<br> against one of the third parties involved in the discontinued operations and was excluded to provide more meaningful supplemental<br> information regarding the Company’s core operational performance. |

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, and determined them to be effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, and accordingly, no legal contingencies are accrued as of March 31, 2025. Litigation relating to the insurance brokerage industry is not uncommon. As such we, from time to time have been, subject to such litigation. No assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as the same may be updated from time to time. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to disclose material changes to the risk factors that were contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated from time to time.
