LIVE VENTURES INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE  three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 

(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)

 

Note 1:  Background and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Live Ventures Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Live Ventures” or the “Company”). Live Ventures is a diversified holding company with a strategic focus on value-oriented acquisitions of domestic middle-market companies. The Company has five operating segments: Retail-Entertainment, Retail-Flooring, Flooring Manufacturing, Steel Manufacturing, and Corporate and Other. The Retail-Entertainment segment includes Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage Stock”), which is engaged in the retail sale of new and used movies, music, collectibles, comics, books, games, game systems, and components. The Retail-Flooring segment includes Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (“Flooring Liquidators”), which is engaged in the retail sale and installation of floors, carpets, and countertops. The Flooring Manufacturing segment includes Marquis Industries, Inc. (“Marquis”), which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet and the sale of vinyl and wood floor coverings. The Steel Manufacturing Segment includes Precision Industries, Inc. (“Precision Marshall”), which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of alloy and steel plates, ground flat stock and drill rods, The Kinetic Co., Inc. (“Kinetic”), which is engaged in the production of industrial knives and hardened wear products for the tissue and metals industries, Precision Metal Works, Inc. (“PMW”), which is engaged in metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions across diverse industries, including appliance, automotive, hardware, electrical, electronic, medical products, and devices, and Central Steel Fabricators, LLC ("Central Steel"), a Chicago-based manufacturer of specialized fabricated metal products primarily for data centers and the communications industry. PMW reports on a 13-week quarter, as opposed to the Company's calendar quarter reporting. However, the Company has determined that the difference in reporting periods has no material effect on its reported financial results.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending  September 30, 2026. The financial information included in these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of  September 30, 2025 and for the fiscal year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 17, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).

 

Note 2:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.

 

7


 

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, and valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

General

 

The Company accounts for its sales revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 provides a five-step revenue recognition model that is applied to the Company’s customer contracts. Under this model we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify our performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price for the contract, (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations.

 

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised goods or the performance of the services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

 

Retail - Entertainment Segment

 

The Retail-Entertainment Segment derives revenue primarily from direct sales of entertainment products. Sales are generally of a cash-and-carry nature and contain a single performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recorded at the point in time in which the sale is made. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes collected from customers. The Company recognizes the portion of the dollar value of prepaid stored-value products that ultimately is unredeemed (“breakage”) in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-11 through 32-13 Measurement-Constraining Estimates of Variable Consideration.

 

Retail - Flooring Segment

 

The Retail-Flooring Segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of flooring products and installation services, which are recognized at the point-of-sale and over time, respectively. Retail sales are generally of a cash-and-carry nature and contain a single performance obligation. Consequently, revenue is recorded at the point in time in which the sale is made. Installation services generally contain multiple performance obligations requiring revenue to be recognized over a period of time based on percentage of completion. For sales that include installation, revenue is recognized upon completion of the installation of the material in accordance with the contract, as this method is the best depiction of when the transfer of goods or services takes place. All direct costs are either paid and/or accrued for in the period in which the sale is recorded. Revenue is recorded net of sales taxes collected from customers.

 

Flooring and Steel Manufacturing Segments

 

The Flooring Manufacturing Segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of carpet and hard surface flooring products, including shipping and handling amounts. The Steel Manufacturing Segment generates revenue, including shipping and handling, from four primary sources: the manufacture and sale of De‑Carb Free Tool and Alloy Steel in the form of Plate, Precision Ground Flat Stock, and Drill Rod; the manufacture and sale of Industrial Knives used in the Tissue and Steel Processing industries; the stamping of Appliance and Automotive Parts; and the production and sale of Cable Racking and Fixtures for Data and Communication Centers. Revenue for these segments generally contains a single performance obligation and is recognized at the point title passes to the customer. At the time revenue is recognized, the Company records a provision for the estimated amount of future returns based primarily on historical experience and any known trends or conditions that exist at the time revenue is recognized. Revenue is recorded net of taxes collected from customers. All direct costs are either paid and/or accrued for in the period in which the sale is recorded.

 

8


 

Spare Parts

 

For spare parts sales, the Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when it ships the product to the customer or when the customer receives the product based upon agreed shipping terms. Each unit sold is considered an independent, unbundled performance obligation. The Company has no additional performance obligations other than spare parts sales that are material in the context of the contract. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized varies due to sales incentives and returns offered to customers. When customers retain the right to return eligible products, the Company reduces revenue for the estimate of the expected returns, which is primarily based on an analysis of historical experience.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023‑09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023‑09”). ASU 2023‑09 requires enhanced annual disclosures regarding the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments affect disclosure requirements only and are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. ASU 2023‑09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and will therefore be adopted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires entities to (i) disclose amounts of (a) purchase of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and, (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosures as other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not necessarily disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expense. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5:  Leases

 

The Company leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various future dates with many agreements containing renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as either operating or finance leases, generally provide for minimum rent and, in some cases, percentage rent, and require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes, and other maintenance costs. As a result, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s blended incremental borrowing rate based on information available associated with each subsidiary’s debt outstanding at lease commencement. In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The following table details the Company's right of use assets and lease liabilities as of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025 (in $000's):

PMW Impairment

 

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of July 1 and evaluates goodwill for potential impairment indicators on an ongoing basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company identified indicators of impairment for PMW, primarily due to sustained operating losses and revenue and gross margin performance below internal projections. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the carrying amount of PMW’s goodwill exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

The quantitative impairment assessment utilized an income approach, based on a discounted cash flow methodology, and a market approach. Significant assumptions included projected revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and market multiples, which were based on historical results, management‑approved operating plans, and market participant assumptions. Discount rates reflected a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for reporting unit‑specific risks.

 

The Company also reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. The undiscounted cash flows for PMW’s long-lived asset group were above the carrying value and the Company determined that the long-lived asset group was recoverable, and, as such, no impairment existed as of  June 30, 2026.

*Approximately $31.3 million of the $57.3 million presented above as maturing in the twelve months ended June 30, 2027 relates to revolving credit facilities that are classified as current under GAAP due to certain provisions in those agreements, despite contractual maturities extending beyond one year, as discussed further below. This amount consists of approximately $26.0 million and $5.3 million outstanding under the revolving credit facilities of Precision Marshall and Flooring Liquidators, respectively, which are contractually due in December 2028 and May 2029.

 

Bank of America Revolver Loan

 

On July 22, 2026, Marquis entered into the Twenty-Third Amendment to its $28.0 million revolving credit agreement ("BofA Revolver") with Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), which extended the maturity date of the BofA Revolver to October 29, 2026. The BofA Revolver is an asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of Marquis' assets. Availability under the BofA Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. Marquis' ability to borrow under the BofA Revolver is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including meeting all loan covenants under the credit agreement with BofA. The BofA Revolver has a variable interest rate and matures on October 29, 2026. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance was approximately $6.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

 

The BofA Revolver requires a lockbox arrangement, under which all receipts are swept daily to reduce outstanding borrowings. This arrangement, combined with a subjective acceleration clause in the credit agreement, would require the BofA Revolver to be classified as a current liability on the balance sheet. However, because the BofA Revolver matures on October 29, 2026, it is already classified as a current liability based on its maturity date, irrespective of the lockbox arrangement and subjective acceleration clause. The acceleration clause permits the lender to forgo additional advances if it determines there has been a material adverse change in the Company's financial position or prospects reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, condition, operations, performance, or properties. Management believes no such material adverse change has occurred, and as of June 30, 2026, the lender had not notified the Company of any such determination. Management believes it will continue to borrow under the BofA Revolver to fund operations through its maturity date.

 

Legacy Corporate Lending (Precision Marshall)

 

On December 30, 2025, Precision Marshall, Kinetic, and Central Steel refinanced their Fifth Third Bank loans (see below) with a new credit facility with Legacy Corporate Lending. The refinanced facility totals $47.0 million and consists of $31.2 million in revolving credit (the “Legacy Revolver”), $9.8 million in term lending (the “Legacy Term”), and $6.0 million in Capex lending (the “Legacy Capex”). Borrowings under the Legacy Revolver bear interest at 4.25% per annum over the one‑month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), while the Legacy Term and Legacy Capex loans bear interest at 4.5% per annum over the one‑month SOFR. In connection with the refinancing, Precision Marshall incurred approximately $0.9 million in debt acquisition costs, which will be capitalized as a contra-liability and amortized over the three-year term of the facility. The refinancing provides additional lending capacity to support future growth. The facility matures on December 30, 2028. As of  June 30, 2026, the outstanding balances on the Legacy Revolver, Legacy Term, and Legacy Capex were $26.0 million, $8.9 million, and $0, respectively.

 

The Legacy Revolver requires a lockbox arrangement, under which all receipts are swept daily to reduce outstanding borrowings. This arrangement, combined with a subjective acceleration clause in the credit agreement, requires the Legacy Revolver to be classified as a current liability on the balance sheet, notwithstanding its December 30, 2028 maturity. The acceleration clause permits the lender to forgo additional advances if it determines there has been a material adverse change in the Company's financial position or prospects reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, condition, operations, performance, or properties. Management believes no such material adverse change has occurred, and as of June 30, 2026, the lender had not notified the Company of any such determination. Management believes it will continue to borrow under the Legacy Revolver to fund operations over the term of the facility.

 

Loan with Fifth Third Bank (Precision Marshall)

 

Prior to its refinancing on December 30, 2025 (see above), Precision Marshall maintained a credit facility with Fifth Third Bank. As of  June 30, 2026, all borrowings under the facility had been fully repaid in connection with the refinancing, and Precision Marshall wrote off approximately $58,000 of unamortized debt acquisition costs. Accordingly, the outstanding balances at  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025 were approximately $0 and $23.0 million, respectively, for the revolving loan; $0 and $1.3 million, respectively, for the original M&E term note; $0 and $2.1 million, respectively, for Kinetic Term Loan #1; and $0 and $1.7 million, respectively, for the Capex loan.

 

Eclipse Business Capital Loans

 

On January 8, 2026, Flooring Liquidators amended its credit facility with Eclipse Business Capital, LLC (“Eclipse”), extending the maturity date of the credit facility to February 18, 2026. On February 18, 2026, Flooring Liquidators entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, further extending the maturity date of the credit facility to May 18, 2029 and reducing the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount from $25.0 million to $15.0 million. An amendment fee of $112,500 was paid in connection with the Fifth Amendment, which has been capitalized as a contra-liability and will be amortized over the term of the facility. The credit facility, as amended, provides $15.0 million in revolving credit (“Eclipse Revolver”) and $3.5 million in M&E lending (“Eclipse M&E Loan”), and is secured by substantially all of Flooring Liquidator’s assets. Availability under the Eclipse Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing‑base calculation. The Eclipse Revolver bears interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.5%, and the Eclipse M&E Loan bears interest at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.0%. 

 

15


 

As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Eclipse Revolver was approximately $5.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the Eclipse M&E loan was approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

The Eclipse Revolver requires a lockbox arrangement, under which all receipts are swept daily to reduce outstanding borrowings. This arrangement, combined with a subjective acceleration clause in the credit agreement, requires the Eclipse Revolver to be classified as a current liability on the balance sheet, notwithstanding its May 18, 2029 maturity. The acceleration clause permits Eclipse to forgo additional advances if it determines there has been a material adverse change in Flooring Liquidators' financial position or prospects reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, condition, operations, performance, or properties. Management believes no such material adverse change has occurred, and as of June 30, 2026, Eclipse had not notified Flooring Liquidators of any such determination. Management believes it will continue to borrow under the Eclipse Revolver to fund operations over the term of the facility.

 

Loan with Fifth Third Bank (PMW)

 

In connection with the acquisition of PMW, on July 20, 2023, PMW entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Fifth Third Bank. The facility consists of $15.0 million in revolving credit (the “Fifth Third Revolver”) and approximately $5.0 million in M&E lending (the “Fifth Third M&E Loan”). The Fifth Third Revolver is a three-year, asset-based facility that is secured by substantially all of PMW's assets. Availability under the Fifth Third Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. PMW's ability to borrow under the Fifth Third Revolver is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including meeting all loan covenants under the credit agreement with Fifth Third. Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility are considered Reference Rate Loans, and bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Reference Rate means the greater of (a) 3.0% or (b) the Lender’s publicly announced prime rate (which is not intended to be Lender’s lowest or most favorable rate in effect at any time) in effect from time to time. The Applicable Margin for revolving loans is zero, while for the Fifth Third M&E Loan or any capital expenditure term loan, it is 50 basis points (0.5%). The credit facility matures in July 2026. 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that PMW was in default of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) covenant under the Credit Agreement, and the parties entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Fifth Amendment dated March 24, 2026 (“Fifth Amendment”), pursuant to which Fifth Third agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies through June 15, 2026, and reduced the maximum availability under the Fifth Third Revolver from $15.0 million to $10.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Fifth Amendment expired without renewal. As a result, as of June 30, 2026, PMW was in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan with Fifth Third Bank, and the lender had the right to accelerate all obligations, foreclose on collateral (including substantially all of PMW’s assets), and pursue other available remedies. Fifth Third’s potentially available rights and remedies are limited solely to PMW and its assets.  Fifth Third has no contractual recourse to the assets of Live Ventures or any of its other subsidiaries. Acceleration or enforcement could impair the Company’s investment in PMW, eliminate PMW’s contribution to consolidated results, or require financial support that could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity. As of June 30, 2026, all of PMW’s outstanding long‑term debt, totaling approximately $10.5 million, was classified as current. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Fifth Third Revolver was approximately $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and the balance on the Fifth Third M&E Loan was approximately $3.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, on July 19, 2026, PMW and Fifth Third entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, Fifth Third agreed to forbear on the indebtedness through August 19, 2026. The Sixth Amendment waives Fixed Charge Coverage testing for June 30, 2026 and for any month‑end during the forbearance period, prohibits payments to the Company or its affiliates, and subjects PMW to certain deliverables established by Fifth Third during the forbearance period. There can be no assurance PMW will meet these conditions or otherwise repay or refinance the obligations by August 19, 2026 (see Note 18).

 

Bank Midwest Revolver Loan

 

On October 17, 2025, Vintage entered into an amended $8.0 million credit agreement with Bank Midwest (“Bank Midwest Revolver”). The amended Bank Midwest Revolver carries the same interest rate as the prior amendment and matures on October 17, 2026. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Bank Midwest Revolver was $0.

 

Note payable to JCM Holdings

 

During October 2020, Marquis purchased a manufacturing facility, which it had previously leased, for approximately $2.5 million. Marquis entered into a $2.0 million loan agreement, secured by the facility, with the seller of the facility, in order to complete the purchase of the facility. The loan bears interest at 6.0%, due monthly, and matures January 2030. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance was approximately $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Note Payable to Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC

 

On June 14, 2016, Marquis entered into a transaction with Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC. The transaction included a sale-leaseback of land owned by Marquis and a loan secured by the improvements on such land. The total aggregate proceeds received from the sale of the land and the loan was $10.0 million, which consisted of approximately $0.6 million from the sale of the land and a note payable of approximately $9.4 million. In connection with the transaction, Marquis entered into a lease with a 15-year term commencing on the closing of the transaction, which provides Marquis with an option to extend the lease upon the expiration of its term. The initial annual lease rate is $60,000. The proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the BofA Revolver and Term loans, and related party loan, as well as to purchase a building from the previous owners of Marquis that was not purchased in the July 2015 transaction. The note payable bears interest at 9.3% per annum, with principal and interest due monthly. The note payable matures June 13, 2056. For the first five years of the note payable, there is a pre-payment penalty of 5.0%, which declines by 1.0% for each year the loan remains unpaid for the next five years. At the end of ten years, there is no pre-payment penalty. In connection with the note payable, Marquis incurred approximately $458,000 in transaction costs that are being recognized as a debt issuance cost and are being amortized and recorded as interest expense over the term of the note payable. The remaining principal balance was approximately $9.0 million as of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, respectively.

 

Equipment Loans

Note Payable to the Sellers of Kinetic

 

In connection with the purchase of Kinetic, on June 28, 2022, Kinetic entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Kinetic to serve as its Head of Equipment Operations. The employment agreement is for an initial term of five years and shall be automatically extended in 90-day increments unless either party provides notice as required under the agreement. Additionally, Precision Marshall entered into a seller financed loan in the amount of $3.0 million with the previous owner of Kinetic. Such seller financed loan bears interest at 7.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears, and has a maturity date of September 27, 2027. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the remaining principal balance was $3.0 million.

 

Note Payable to the Seller of Flooring Liquidators

 

In connection with the purchase of Flooring Liquidators during January 2023, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Flooring Liquidators to serve as its Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement is for an initial term of five years and shall be automatically extended in 90-day increments unless either party provides notice as required under the agreement. Additionally, the Company entered into a seller financed mezzanine loan, which was fully guaranteed by the Company, in the amount of $34.0 million with the previous owners of Flooring Liquidators. The Seller Subordinated Acquisition Note (“Seller Note”) bore interest at 8.24% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears beginning on January 18, 2024. The Seller Note had a maturity date of January 18, 2028. As of the acquisition date, an independent third-party valuation assigned the Seller Note a fair value of $31.7 million, reflecting a $2.3 million discount.

 

On February 25, 2025, Flooring Liquidators, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, and the Company entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the previous owner of Flooring Liquidators under which the principal amount of the Seller Note was reduced from $34.0 million to $15.0 million. The relevant portion of the MOU was later superseded by a Second Amendment to Seller Note (the “Amended Seller Note”). The Amended Seller Note bears interest at 8.24% per annum effective January 1, 2025, and matures in February 2028, with interest payments due monthly beginning February 2025. The Company determined that the fair value of the Amended Seller Note was approximately $14.0 million, reflecting a $1.0 million discount. In an event of default under the Amended Seller Note, or if the Company defaults in making any payment it is required to make pursuant to the Amended Seller Note, the note holders may revoke the principal reduction, in which case the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Amended Seller Note will increase by $19.0 million to $34.0 million. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Amended Seller Note was approximately $15.0 million.

In connection with the purchase of Central Steel, on May 15, 2024, Precision Marshall entered into an employment agreement with the previous owner of Central Steel to serve as its President. The employment agreement is for an initial term of two years and shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for a period of one year, unless either party provides written notice of its or his intention not to extend the term at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial term. Additionally, Precision Marshall entered into a seller financed loan in the amount of $1.1 million with the previous owner of Central Steel (the "Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note"). The Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note bears interest at 8.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The Sellers Subordinated Promissory Note has a maturity date of May 15, 2029. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the remaining principal balance was $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Note 13:  Stock-Based Compensation

 

Our 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, performance stock, performance units, restricted ordinary shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, tandem stock appreciation rights and unrestricted ordinary shares to our directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors. The Company has reserved up to 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan.

 

From time to time, the Company grants stock options to directors, officers, and employees. These awards are valued at the grant date by determining the fair value of the instruments. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

 

The Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $50,000 during each of the three months ended  June 30, 2026 and 2025, and approximately $150,000 during each of the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, related to stock option awards and restricted stock awards granted to certain employees and officers based on the grant date fair value of the awards, and the revaluation for existing options whereby the expiration date was extended.

Note 14:  Earnings Per Share

 

Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options, and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net earnings to determine the amount available to common stockholders.

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the effect of dilutive securities. No diluted EPS computation was made for the three or nine months ended  June 30, 2026, as the Company recorded a net loss. Had the Company calculated diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended  June 30, 2026, the total assumed weighted average common shares outstanding would have been 4,626,636, and included 29,116 restricted stock units and approximately 1.5 million shares issuable upon the conversion of debt.

Note 15:  Related Party Transactions

 

Transactions with Isaac Capital Group, LLC

 

Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is the President and sole member of ICG and therefore has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of the Company held by ICG. Jon Isaac, in his personal capacity, owns 217,177 shares of common stock, ICG owns 1,399,523 shares of common stock, and if ICG were to convert all of its outstanding convertible debt (see below), it would have the contractual right to acquire up to 1,525,612 shares of common stock; as a result, ICG beneficially controls approximately 68.4% of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

 

ICG Revolving Promissory Note

 

On April 9, 2020, the Company, as borrower, entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit promissory note whereby ICG agreed to provide the Company with a $1.0 million revolving credit facility (the “ICG Revolver”). On June 23, 2022, the amount of available revolving credit under the facility was increased to $6.0 million. No other terms of the Note were changed. On April 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment of the ICG Revolver that extended the maturity date to April 8, 2024, increased the interest rate from 10% to 12% per annum, and decreased the amount of available revolving credit under the facility to $1.0 million. On January 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment of the ICG Revolver that extended the maturity date to April 8, 2025 and increased the amount of available revolving credit under the facility to $5.0 million. 

 

On April 8, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the ICG Revolver, which (i) extended the maturity date to April 8, 2030, (ii) increased the amount of available revolving credit under the facility to $12.0 million, and (iii) established a Fixed Conversion Price of $7.85 per share for obligations outstanding under the ICG Revolver, exercisable at the discretion of Mr. Isaac. The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50 and concluded that the transaction represented an extinguishment of the existing debt given that the amendment introduced a substantive conversion feature. Management assessed the fair value of the amended instrument as of the amendment date. That assessment indicated that the fair value of the amended note, inclusive of the conversion feature, exceeded the fair value of the note without the conversion feature by approximately $6.0 million, which was treated as a non-cash capital contribution from the lender for accounting purposes because the lender was the majority shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the Company recorded the excess as a distribution from Retained Earnings, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital, which is presented on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as an “In-Substance Distribution”.

 

As of  June 30, 2026, Jon Isaac, through ICG, had the contractual right to acquire up to 1,525,612 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the outstanding balance of the debt as of that date. As of  June 30, 2026, no obligations under the ICG Revolver have been converted into the Company’s common stock. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the ICG Revolver was $12.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively. 

 

ICG Flooring Liquidators Note

 

On January 18, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Flooring Liquidators, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, entered into a promissory note for the benefit of ICG in the amount of $5.0 million (“ICG Flooring Liquidators Loan”). The ICG Flooring Liquidators Loan matures on January 18, 2028, and bears interest at 12% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month. The note is fully guaranteed by the Company. 

 

On February 17, 2026, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, LLC entered into a First Amendment to the ICG Flooring Liquidators Loan. The amendment (i) capitalized all accrued and unpaid interest, including default‑rate interest, resulting in an acknowledged outstanding principal balance of approximately $6.6 million as of the amendment date; (ii) added a 1.0% amendment fee of approximately $66,000, which was fully earned and capitalized into principal, increasing the total outstanding principal to approximately $6.7 million; and (iii) extended the loan’s maturity date from January 18, 2028 to August 18, 2029. The Company, as guarantor, consented to the amendment and reaffirmed its unconditional guaranty of the note. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on this loan was $7.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

 

22


 

ICG PMW Note

 

On December 14, 2024, in connection with the Settlement Agreement of the PMW Seller Financed Loans, the Company, as borrower, entered into a promissory note for the benefit of ICG in the amount of approximately $2.6 million (“ICG PMW Note”). The Company received proceeds of approximately $1.9 million from ICG, which was used to settle the loans plus accrued interest. The $0.7 million discount is being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest rate method, as required by GAAP, over the term of the note. The ICG PMW Note matures on December 17, 2029, and bears interest at the contractual rate of 12.0% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears on the first business day of each month commencing on January 2, 2025. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the balance on this note was approximately $2.6 million.

 

Transactions with Vintage Stock CEO

 

Rodney Spriggs, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vintage Stock, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole member of Spriggs Investments, LLC (“Spriggs Investments”).

 

Spriggs Promissory Note II

 

On January 19, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Flooring Liquidators, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Spriggs Investments in the initial principal amount of $1.0 million (the "Spriggs Loan II"). The loan was originally scheduled to mature on July 31, 2024, and bore interest at 12% per annum. On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement that required principal payments of not less than $300,000 per 90‑day period following full repayment of the Spriggs Promissory Note I, and extended the maturity date to July 31, 2025. Subsequent amendments further extended the maturity date to July 31, 2026, and maintained the monthly payment provisions in effect at that time. On July 6, 2026, the Company executed an additional loan modification agreement that superseded the prior payment terms, extended the maturity date to March 31, 2028, and provided that all monthly payments through maturity consist solely of interest, with the outstanding principal due in full at maturity. As of  June 30, 2026 and  September 30, 2025, the principal amount owed was $0.8 million.

Litigation

 

SEC Investigation

 

The Company and certain of its executive officers are defendants in a civil enforcement action filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 2, 2021, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. The SEC’s Amended Complaint alleges various violations of the federal securities laws related to the Company’s financial reporting, disclosures, and executive compensation during the period from 2016 through 2018. The SEC seeks remedies including permanent injunctions, officer‑and‑director bars, disgorgement, and civil penalties. The Company and the executive officers deny the allegations.

 

On October 1, 2021, the Company Defendants and third-party defendants moved to dismiss the SEC complaint. On September 7, 2022, the court denied the Company Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss but granted one of the third-party defendant’s Motions to Dismiss, granting the SEC leave to file an Amended Complaint. On September 21, 2022, the SEC filed an Amended Complaint to which the Company Defendants filed an Answer on October 11, 2022, denying liability. The court subsequently entered a discovery scheduling order, and the parties exchanged initial disclosures. The parties participated in a mediation in June 2023. The mediation was not successful. Fact discovery was completed on May 20, 2024. The parties completed expert discovery in September 2024 and filed cross Motions for Summary Judgment in October 2024. On February 10, 2026, the Court entered an order denying the parties’ cross motions for summary judgment. The Court has not yet set a trial date for this matter.

Sieggreen Class Action

 

On August 13, 2021, Daniel E. Sieggreen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated claimants (the "Plaintiff"), filed a class action Complaint for violation of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, naming the Company, Jon Isaac, the Company's current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the "Company Defendants"). The allegations asserted are similar to those in the SEC Complaint. Among other sought relief, the complaint seeks damages in connection with the purchases and sales of the Company’s securities between December 28, 2016 and August 3, 2021. As of December 17, 2021, the judge granted a stipulation to stay proceedings pending the resolutions of the Motions to Dismiss in the SEC Complaint. On February 1, 2023, the final Motion to Dismiss relating to the SEC Complaint was denied, which was subsequently noticed in the Sieggreen action on February 2, 2023. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss was heard and granted with Leave to Amend on September 30, 2024. The Second Amended Complaint was filed on October 31, 2024. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on December 16, 2024 and the briefing is complete. On September 30, 2025, the Court denied the motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The Company filed its response on December 1, 2025, and the parties are currently engaged in discovery. On July 27, 2026, the Court continued the class certification deadline to November 13, 2026, while discovery remains ongoing.

 

Wage and Hour Matter

 

On July 27, 2022, Irma Sanchez, a former employee of Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“Elite Builders”), filed a class action Complaint against Elite Builders in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, which case was transferred to Stanislaus Count. The Complaint alleges that Elite Builders failed to pay all minimum and overtime wages, failed to provide lawful meal periods and rest breaks, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, and failed to pay all wages due upon separation as required by California law. The Complaint was later amended as a matter of right on October 4, 2022. Further, Ms. Sanchez has put the Labor & Workforce Development Agency on notice of her intention to exhaust administrative remedies and enable her to bring an additional claim under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, which permits an employee to assert a claim for violations of certain California Labor Code provisions on behalf of all aggrieved employees to recover statutory penalties. The parties agreed to participate in mediation and exchanged materials in preparation. Counsel for the plaintiff has requested multiple extensions of the mediation timeline and did not meet a previously scheduled discovery‑related deadline. The case management conference, which had been scheduled for August 3, 2026, was continued to December 7, 2026, with mediation anticipated to occur in October 2026.

 

General

 

The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As applicable, liabilities pertaining to these matters, that are probable and estimable, have been accrued.

 

Note 17:  Segment Reporting

 

Live Ventures Incorporated is a diversified holding company that acquires and operates businesses across industries with a demonstrated history of earnings power. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has identified four reportable segments: Retail-Entertainment, Retail-Flooring, Flooring Manufacturing, and Steel Manufacturing. This segmentation reflects how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), consisting of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluates financial performance and allocates resources across the Company’s operations. The Corporate and Other segment does not meet the criteria to be presented as a reportable segment under ASC 280.

 

The CODM regularly evaluates segment performance using revenue, gross profit, gross profit margin, income (loss) before income taxes, and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). These measures are used to allocate the Company’s resources and assess operating effectiveness.

 

25


 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. The CODM considers Adjusted EBITDA a key indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance, including its ability to fund acquisitions, support capital expenditures, and service debt. It is used to evaluate operating results, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve performance.

 

To preserve the integrity of each operating segment’s standalone financial results, all intercompany eliminations, including sales, cost of goods sold, inventory profit, and intercompany management fees are reported under Intercompany Eliminations. Total assets are not utilized by the CODM in evaluating segment performance or allocating resources. Accordingly, asset information is excluded from the Company’s segment reporting disclosures. Discrete financial information is provided for each reportable segment, including comparisons of actual results to the prior period and current period forecast.

 

The following is a description of each of the Company’s reportable segments:

 

 

•

The Retail–Entertainment segment, which includes Vintage Stock, offers a wide range of entertainment products, both new and pre-owned, including movies, video games, and music. It also sells ancillary items such as books, comics, toys, and collectibles, all within a single retail footprint.

 

 

•

The Retail–Flooring segment, which includes Flooring Liquidators, operates 29 warehouse-format stores and a design center across four states. It serves as a leading retailer and installer of flooring, carpeting, and countertops for consumers, builders, and contractors in California and Nevada.

 

 

•

The Flooring Manufacturing segment, which includes Marquis, is a vertically integrated manufacturer and distributor of carpet and hard surface flooring products, serving residential, niche commercial, and hospitality end markets.

 

 

•

The Steel Manufacturing segment includes:

 

 

•

Precision Marshall, which supplies over 500 steel distributors with Deluxe Alloy Plate, Deluxe Tool Steel Plate, Precision Ground Flat Stock, and Drill Rod.

 

 

•

Kinetic, a recognized brand in industrial knives and hardened wear products for the tissue, metals, and wood industries, offering in-house grinding, machining, and heat-treating capabilities.

 

 

•

PMW, which provides metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions across industries such as appliance, automotive, hardware, electrical, electronics, and medical devices.

 

 

•

Central Steel, which manufactures specialized fabricated metal products primarily for data centers, including cable racks, auxiliary framing, hardware, insulation products, and network bays.

 

26


 

This segmentation aligns with the internal reporting structure used by the CODM to evaluate performance and guide strategic decision-making. The CODM does not review any measures of significant segment expenses beyond those reflected in the tables below (in $000’s):

Note 18:  Subsequent Events 

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these unaudited condensed financial statements were issued and determined that the following material events occurred after  June 30, 2026:

 

Sixth Amendment to Credit Facility - PMW

 

As discussed in Note 9, PMW was in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan with Fifth Third Bank as of June 30, 2026. On July 19, 2026, PMW and Fifth Third entered into the Sixth Amendment, which extended forbearance through August 19, 2026, subject to PMW satisfying certain deliverables established by Fifth Third during the forbearance period. PMW’s ability to meet these deliverables or otherwise repay or refinance the obligations by August 19, 2026 remains uncertain.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

For a description of our significant accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (hereafter referred to as “MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).

 

Note about Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms “may,” “believes,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “expects,” or “anticipates,” and do not reflect historical facts.

 

Specific forward-looking statements contained in this portion of the Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to: (i) statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, (ii) statements about current projections and expectations of general economic conditions, (iii) statements about specific industry projections and expectations of economic activity, (iv) statements relating to our future operations, prospects, results, and performance, (v) statements that the cash on hand and additional cash generated from operations together with potential sources of cash through issuance of debt or equity will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months, and (vi) statements that the outcome of pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on business, financial position and results of operations, cash flow or liquidity.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results, future performance and capital requirements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in our 2025 Form 10-K under Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" below, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.

 

In addition, the foregoing factors may generally affect our business, results of operations, and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements were made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by federal securities laws. Any information contained on our website www.liveventures.com or any other websites referenced in this Quarterly Report are not incorporated into and should not be deemed a part of this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Preparation of these statements requires us to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant and material impact on amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are based on management's experience and other information available prior to the issuance of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our actual realized results may differ materially from management’s initial estimates as reported. Our critical and significant accounting policies include Trade Receivables, Inventories, Goodwill, Revenue Recognition, Fair Value Measurements, and Income Taxes. For a summary of our significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statement and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2025 Form 10-K.

 

Adjusted EBITDA 

 

We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’ ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures, and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company's financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP, and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flows available to fund all our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased approximately $3.6 million, or 3.2%, to $108.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $112.5 million in the prior-year period. Revenue decreased primarily due to a decline of approximately $9.0 million in the Retail-Flooring segment, partially offset by increases of approximately $2.4 million in the Retail-Entertainment segment, $1.8 million in the Steel Manufacturing segment, and $1.1 million in the Flooring Manufacturing segment.

Gross profit decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 3.1%, to $37.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $38.3 million in the prior-year period. The decline was driven primarily by lower revenue in the Retail-Flooring segment. Gross margin increased approximately 10 basis points to 34.1%, compared to 34.0% in the prior-year period, reflecting improved margins in the Retail-Flooring and Steel Manufacturing segments.

 

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately 5.0% to $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation in our Retail-Entertainment and Flooring Manufacturing segments and by higher compensation and professional fees at the corporate level. These increases were partially offset by lower G&A expense in our Retail-Flooring segment, primarily due to reduced compensation, as well as lower G&A expense in our Steel Manufacturing segment due mainly to reduced depreciation and other costs.

 

Sales and Marketing Expense

 

Sales and marketing expense increased 5.4% to approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting higher sales and marketing activity in the Retail-Flooring and Retail-Entertainment segments.

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Interest expense, net, was approximately $3.8 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026, and the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased approximately $10.7 million, or 3.2%, to $320.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $331.1 million in the prior-year period. Revenue decreased primarily due to a decline of approximately $22.6 million in the Retail-Flooring segment, partially offset by increases of approximately $7.5 million in the Retail-Entertainment segment, $2.3 million in the Flooring Manufacturing segment, and $2.1 million in the Steel Manufacturing segment.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased by approximately $1.8 million, or 1.6%, to approximately $107.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $108.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to lower revenue in the Retail-Flooring segment. Gross margin increased 50 basis points to 33.4%, compared to 32.9% in the prior-year period, reflecting improved operating efficiencies in the Flooring Manufacturing and Steel Manufacturing segments, as well as a more favorable revenue mix, as the higher-margin Retail-Entertainment segment represented a larger share of consolidated revenue.

 

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and Administrative expenses decreased by 1.8% to approximately $83.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was driven primarily by targeted cost-reduction initiatives in our Retail-Flooring segment, including lower compensation expense and reduced bank and credit card fees, partially offset by increased compensation, depreciation, and occupancy costs in our Retail-Entertainment segment, as well as higher professional fees in our Retail-Flooring segment.

 

Sales and Marketing Expense

 

Sales and marketing expense was essentially unchanged for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior-year period.

 

Impairment of Goodwill

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, PMW recognized a $4.0 million goodwill impairment charge due to sustained operating losses and revenue and gross margin performance below internal projections (see Note 7). No goodwill impairment charges were recognized during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Interest expense, net, decreased by approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower average debt balances.

Retail-Entertainment Segment

 

Retail-Entertainment segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $21.4 million, an increase of approximately $2.4 million, or 12.7%, compared to $19.0 million in the prior-year period. Revenue growth was driven by strong consumer demand across all product lines. Gross margin was unchanged at 57.4%. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $3.1 million compared to $2.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by the segment's revenue growth.

 

 

Retail-Flooring Segment

 

Retail-Flooring segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $21.4 million, a decrease of approximately $9.0 million, or 29.4%, compared to $30.4 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by lower retail and contractor sales due to the continued headwinds in the new-home construction and home-refurbishment markets. Gross margin increased to 37.1%, compared to 35.5% in the prior-year period, reflecting a more favorable sales mix. Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $3.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating loss was driven primarily by lower revenue, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses resulting from cost-reduction initiatives.

 

Flooring Manufacturing Segment

 

Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $31.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.8 million, or 2.8%, compared to $31.0 million in the prior-year period. Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, increased approximately $1.1 million compared to the prior-year period. Gross margin decreased to 25.8%, compared to 27.6% in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased raw material and other input costs. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $2.5 million, compared to $2.7 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced gross margins, partially offset by lower operating expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives.

 

Steel Manufacturing Segment

 

Steel Manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $36.3 million, an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or 7.3%, compared to $33.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in the fabricated, hardened wear, and tool and die businesses, partially offset by lower revenue in the metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions business. Steel Manufacturing segment revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, increased approximately $1.8 million compared to the prior-year period. Gross margin was 24.6%, compared to 23.0% in the prior-year period, reflecting a more favorable sales mix. Operating income was $3.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to operating income of $2.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by improved gross profit and lower operating expenses resulting from cost reduction initiatives.

 

 

Corporate and Other Segment

 

Corporate and Other segment operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $0.9 million compared to operating income of $8,000 in the prior-year period.  The change in operating loss is due to the reallocation of certain costs in the prior-year period.

Retail-Entertainment Segment

 

Retail-Entertainment segment revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $66.3 million, an increase of approximately $7.5 million, or 12.8%, compared to $58.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven by strong consumer demand across all product lines. Gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was 57.6%, essentially flat compared to 57.7% in the prior-year period. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $11.1 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by the segment's revenue growth.

 

Retail-Flooring Segment

 

Retail-Flooring segment revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $67.0 million, a decrease of approximately $22.6 million, or 25.2%, compared to $89.5 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily driven by lower retail and contractor sales due to the continued headwinds in the new-home construction and home-refurbishment markets. Gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was 34.4%, compared to 35.7% in the prior-year period. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to a less favorable overall product mix. Operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $11.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating loss was driven primarily by lower revenue, partially offset by reduced operating expenses resulting from cost-reduction initiatives.

 

 

Flooring Manufacturing Segment

 

Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $91.0 million, a decrease of approximately $0.6 million, or 0.7%, compared to $91.6 million in the prior-year period. The decline reflected lower intercompany sales to the Retail-Flooring segment as demand in the new-home construction and home-refurbishment markets remained soft. Flooring Manufacturing segment revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, increased approximately $2.3 million compared to the prior‑year period. Gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 increased to 25.9% from 25.2% in the prior‑year period, primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiency. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, was $6.8 million, an increase of 38.7%, compared to $4.9 million for the prior-year period. The improvement in operating income reflects the combined impact of higher gross margins and the ongoing benefits of cost‑reduction actions.

 

Steel Manufacturing Segment

 

Steel Manufacturing segment revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $100.7 million, an increase of approximately $2.1 million, or 2.1%, compared to $98.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in the fabricated, hardened wear, and tool and die businesses, partially offset by lower revenue in the metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions business. Gross margin increased to 22.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 20.7% for the prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a more favorable sales mix. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was $3.8 million, compared to $5.7 million in the prior-year period, a decrease of approximately $1.9 million primarily attributable to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million related to PMW, partially offset by higher gross profit.

 

Corporate and Other Segment

 

Corporate and Other segment operating loss was $3.0 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $9.3 million, a decrease of approximately $3.9 million, or 29.5%, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue, as discussed above.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $23.0 million, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million, or 9.5%, compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in revenue, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2026, we had total cash on hand of approximately $10.9 million and approximately $28.9 million of available borrowing under our revolving credit facilities. As we continue to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature, and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

 

As discussed in Note 9, PMW was in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan with Fifth Third Bank as of June 30, 2026. On July 19, 2026, PMW and Fifth Third entered into the Sixth Amendment, which extended forbearance through August 19, 2026, subject to PMW satisfying certain deliverables established by Fifth Third during the forbearance period (see Note 18). PMW’s ability to meet these deliverables or otherwise repay or refinance the obligations by August 19, 2026 remains uncertain. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Fifth Third Revolver was approximately $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and the balance on the Fifth Third M&E Loan was approximately $3.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Given the Company’s consolidated cash position and available borrowing capacity under its other revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2026, the Company does not believe that any acceleration or enforcement action by Fifth Third with respect to the PMW Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan, including a potential sale or loss of PMW, would be material to the Company or the Company’s overall liquidity.

 

Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities, and funds available under our asset-based revolver lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to do the following: fund our operations; pay our scheduled loan payments; ability to repurchase shares under our share buyback program; and, pay dividends on our shares of Series E Preferred Stock as declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months.

 

Working Capital

 

We had working capital of approximately $45.5 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to working capital of approximately $62.1 million as of September 30, 2025; a decrease of approximately $16.6 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by an aggregate increase in current liabilities of approximately $18.0 million, reflecting reductions in income taxes payable, accounts payable, and the current portion of long‑term debt. In addition, current assets increased by approximately $1.4 million, driven by higher cash balances and increases in prepaids and other current assets.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

The Company’s cash, as of June 30, 2026, was approximately $10.9 million compared to approximately $8.8 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of approximately $2.1 million. Net cash provided by operations was approximately $14.7 million and $21.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an unfavorable change in deferred income taxes and lower cash collections on trade receivables compared to the prior period’s unusually strong collections. Operating cash flows were also affected by higher inventory levels during the current period. These impacts were partially offset by favorable changes in accrued liabilities and accounts payable driven by the timing of obligations and vendor payments.

 

Our primary sources of cash inflows are from customer receipts from sales on account and factored accounts receivable proceeds. Our most significant cash outflows include payments for raw materials and general operating expenses, including payroll costs and general and administrative expenses that typically occur within close proximity of expense recognition.

 

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Our cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $5.5 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and consisted of purchases of property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Our cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $7.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of payments on notes payable of approximately $10.0 million, net borrowings under revolver loans of approximately $3.2 million, payments for finance leases of approximately $3.0 million, payments for debt issuance costs of approximately $0.9 million, and payments on related party seller notes of approximately $0.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of approximately $9.8 million and net borrowings under related party revolver loans of approximately $0.4 million.

 

Our cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $13.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of net payments under revolver loans of approximately $9.3 million, payments on notes payable of approximately $5.2 million, payments of related party notes payable of $2.9 million, payments for finance leases of approximately $2.7 million, cash paid for the settlement of seller notes of approximately $1.9 million, and purchases of treasury stock of approximately $0.5 million, partially offset by net borrowings under related party revolver loans of approximately $7.1 million, proceeds from the issuance of related party notes payable of approximately $1.9 million, and proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of approximately $0.5 million.

 

Currently, we are not issuing common shares for liquidity purposes. We prefer to use asset-based lending arrangements and mezzanine financing together with Company provided capital to finance acquisitions and have done so historically. Occasionally, as our Company history has demonstrated, we will issue stock and derivative instruments linked to stock for services or debt settlement.

 

Future Sources of Cash; New Products and Services

 

We may require additional debt financing or capital to finance new acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness or other strategic investments in our business. Other sources of financing may include stock issuances and additional loans; or other forms of financing. Any financing obtained by us may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of June 30, 2026, we did not participate in any market risk-sensitive commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. We do not believe we are subject to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases or commodity price risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, as of June 30, 2026, we concluded that the Company's disclosure, controls, and procedures were effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 

Our management assessed the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission of 2013 regarding Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, as of June 30, 2026, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The information in response to this item is included in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q. Please also refer to “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2025 Form 10-K for information regarding material pending legal proceedings. Except as set forth herein and therein, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings previously disclosed.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

 

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K risk factors that materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, and disclosed more recent events relevant to our business under Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the 2025 Form 10-K and the other information set forth under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this quarterly report. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Since the filing of our 2025 Form 10-K, the following additions have been made to the risk factors previously disclosed.

 

Risks Related to Indebtedness of Our Subsidiary, Precision Metal Works

 

Precision Metal Works, Inc. (“PMW”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, is party to a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”), pursuant to which approximately $10.6 million in principal is currently outstanding. The maturity date of the loan was July 19, 2026.  During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that PMW was in default of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) covenant under the Credit Agreement, at which time Fifth Third agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies through June 15, 2026, which forbearance subsequently was extended through August 19, 2026. The FCCR default was not a default on any payment obligations to Fifth Third under the Credit Agreement, as PMW has made, and continues to make, all payments on the Fifth Third Facility.

 

The default does not (and cannot) trigger any cross-default or cross-acceleration provision under any other credit facility of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries.  Accordingly, Fifth Third’s potentially available rights and remedies — including any potential right to declare the outstanding balance immediately due and payable or to foreclose on PMW’s assets — are limited solely to PMW and its assets.  Fifth Third has no contractual recourse to the assets of Live Ventures or any of its other subsidiaries.

 

The forbearance period has been extended through August 19, 2026, and PMW has not refinanced the obligations. PMW and the Company are currently evaluating financing terms with a prospective replacement lender; however, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement on acceptable terms will be entered. During the term of the in-place forbearance agreement, Fifth Third is contractually precluded from exercising any of its potential contractual rights and remedies against PMW, including declaring all of PMW’s outstanding obligations immediately due and payable, foreclosing upon PMW’s collateral securing the Credit Agreement, which includes substantially all of PMW’s assets, or pursuing any other remedies available under the Credit Agreement or applicable law.

 

If Fifth Third elects not to extend the in-place forbearance agreement, it could accelerate the indebtedness or enforce remedies against PMW’s assets. Were that to occur and PMW not to refinance its obligations to Fifth Third under the Credit Agreement, PMW may be unable to continue operations, which could result in a non-cash impairment of our investment in PMW. However, given PMW's current operating losses, the elimination of PMW's operations would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated net earnings. .  Alternatively, we could determine to continue to provide financial support to PMW, which provision of support could adversely affect our liquidity. There can be no assurance that PMW will be able to negotiate a further forbearance (if required), obtain replacement financing on acceptable terms or at all, or otherwise resolve its default status with Fifth Third, and the failure to do so could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations of PMW, but not a material adverse effect on the Company, on a consolidated basis .

 

Our subsidiary, Precision Metal Works, Inc., is currently in default under its credit facility, and the lender’s forbearance period has expired, which could result in acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness or enforcement of remedies against PMW’s assets.

 

Precision Metal Works, Inc. (“PMW”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, is party to a Credit and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”), pursuant to which approximately $10.6 million in principal is outstanding as of June 30, 2026. The maturity date of the loan was July 19, 2026.  During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company determined that PMW was in default of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) covenant under the credit agreement governing its Credit Agreement, at which time Fifth Third agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies through June 15, 2026, which forbearance subsequently was extended through August 19, 2026. The FCCR default was not a default on any payment obligations to Fifth Third under the Credit Agreement, as PMW has made, and continues to make, all payments on the Fifth Third Facility.

 

The default does not (and cannot) trigger any cross-default or cross-acceleration provision under any other credit facility of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries.  Accordingly, Fifth Third’s potentially available rights and remedies — including any potential right to declare the outstanding balance immediately due and payable or to foreclose on PMW’s assets — are limited solely to PMW and its assets.  Fifth Third has no contractual recourse to the assets of Live Ventures or any of its other subsidiaries.

 

The forbearance period has been extended through August 19, 2026, and PMW has not refinanced the obligations. PMW and the Company are currently evaluating financing terms with a prospective replacement lender; however, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement on acceptable terms will be entered. During the term of the in-place forbearance agreement, Fifth Third is contractually precluded from exercising any of its potential contractual rights and remedies against PMW, including declaring all of PMW’s outstanding obligations immediately due and payable, foreclosing upon PMW’s collateral securing the Credit Agreement, which includes substantially all of PMW’s assets, or pursuing any other remedies available under the Credit and Security Agreement or applicable law. 

 

If Fifth Third elects not to extend the in-place forbearance agreement, it could accelerate the indebtedness or enforce remedies against PMW’s assets. Were that to occur and PMW not to refinance its obligations to Fifth Third under the Credit Agreement, PMW may be unable to continue operations, which could result in a non-cash impairment of our investment in PMW. However, given PMW's current operating losses, the elimination of PMW's operations would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated net earnings.  Alternatively, we could determine to continue to provide financial support to PMW, which provision of support could adversely affect our liquidity. There can be no assurance that PMW will be able to negotiate a further forbearance, obtain replacement financing on acceptable terms or at all, or otherwise resolve its default status with Fifth Third, and the failure to do so could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations of PMW, but not a material adverse effect on the Company, on a consolidated basis.


 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On June 4, 2024, the Company announced a $10 million common stock repurchase program, which was amended on June 2, 2025 to extend its term through May 31, 2028, unless extended, canceled, or modified by the Company's Board of Directors. During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company made no repurchases. As of June 30, 2026, the maximum amount that may be purchased by the Company under the announced Plan was approximately $9.5 million.

 

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

As discussed in Note 9, PMW was in default under its Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan with Fifth Third Bank as of June 30, 2026. On July 19, 2026, PMW and Fifth Third entered into the Sixth Amendment, which extended forbearance through August 19, 2026, subject to PMW satisfying certain deliverables established by Fifth Third during the forbearance period (see Note 18). PMW’s ability to meet these deliverables or otherwise repay or refinance the obligations by August 19, 2026 remains uncertain. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance on the Fifth Third Revolver was approximately $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and the balance on the Fifth Third M&E Loan was approximately $3.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Given the Company’s consolidated cash position and available borrowing capacity under its other credit facilities as of June 30, 2026, the Company does not believe that any acceleration or enforcement action by Fifth Third with respect to the PMW Revolving Credit Facility and related M&E Loan would be material to the Company or the Company’s overall liquidity.

THIS LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Modification”), dated as of July 6, 2026 (“Effective Date”), is entered into among LIVE VENTURES INCORPORATED, a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), JON ISAAC, individually (“Isaac”), ISAAC CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ICG” and collectively with Isaac, the “Guarantors” and each, a “Guarantor”), and SPRIGGS INVESTMENTS, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“Lender”). Borrower and Guarantors are herein sometimes referred to individually as a “Borrower Party” and collectively as “Borrower Parties.”

 

RECITALS:

 

A.    On January 19, 2023, Lender made a loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 USD (“Second Loan”), evidenced by the certain promissory note payable to Lender in the amount of the Second Loan (“Second Note”). The obligations of Borrower under the Second Loan are guaranteed by that certain guaranty dated as of January 19, 2023, executed by Isaac in favor of Lender (“Second Isaac Guaranty”) and that certain guaranty dated as of January 19, 2023, executed by ICG in favor of Lender (“Second ICG Guaranty” and together with the Second Isaac Guaranty, collectively, the “Second Guarantees”). The Second Note and the Second Guarantees and all other documents and instruments evidencing, securing, or guarantying the Second Loan, as may be amended or modified, are herein collectively referred to as, the “Second Loan Documents”.

 

B.    On February 29, 2024, the Borrower Parties and Lender entered into a Loan Modification Agreement whereby terms of the Second Loan Documents were modified.

 

C.    On July 30, 2025, the Borrower Parties and Lender entered into a Loan Modification Agreement whereby terms of the Second Loan Documents were modified.

 

 

D.    Borrower has requested that Lender further modify the Second Loan Documents as set forth in this Modification, and in reliance of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties herein, Lender is willing to enter into this Modification on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender hereby mutually agree as follows:

 

1.    Incorporation by Reference. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full in the body of this Modification. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Second Loan Documents.

 

2.    Modification of Second Loan Documents. From and after the Effective Date, the following modifications are made to the Second Loan Documents:

 

(a)

The defined term “Maturity Date” used in the Second Note is amended from July 31, 2026 to March 31, 2028.

 

 

(b)

All monthly payments under the Second Note shall consist solely of interest, with the principal due on the Maturity Date.

 

(c)

The terms and provisions of the Second Loan Documents are hereby amended and modified to give effect to the foregoing amendments and agreements. All references in the Second Loan Documents to the Second Note and Second Guarantees shall hereafter mean and refer to the Second Note and Second Guarantees, as modified by this Modification.

 

3.    Representations and Warranties. In entering into this Modification each Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that Lender has relied on the truth, completeness, and accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Borrower Parties in this Section 3. Each Borrower Party represents and warrants to Lender that, as of the Effective Date:

 

 

(a)

Each Borrower Party has full power, authority, and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform all the

 

obligations under this Modification and has taken all necessary actions to authorize: (i) the execution and delivery of this Modification and all other documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto; and

(ii) the performance of all obligations hereunder. The officer or representative of each Borrower Party signing this Modification on behalf of each such entity has been duly authorized and empowered to do so.

 

(b)

The execution of this Modification does not violate, contravene, breach, or result in a default under any:

(i) agreement or instrument to which any Borrower Party may be bound; or (ii) applicable laws to which any Borrower Party may be subject. The execution and delivery of this Modification does not require any authorization or consent from, or any filing with, any third party or Governmental Authority.

 

 

(c)

Since the date of the Second Note, (i) no change has occurred in the financial condition of any Borrower Party that would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s ability to repay the Second Loan, as modified by this Modification; and (ii) no filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, in any proceed seeking the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, or reorganization of any Borrower Party has occurred.

 

(d)

The Second Loan is in full force and effect and no Event of Default exists, either by Lender or Borrower, under the Second Loan. Borrower has no claims or disputes against Lender, and no offsets or defenses to the repayment of the Second Loan in accordance with its terms.

 

 

(e)

All representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Second Loan Documents are true, accurate, and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date.

 

4.    Reaffirmation; Ratification; No Novation. Borrower hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Second Loan Documents, and all their obligations under the same. Except as expressly modified by this Modification, all the terms, covenants, and conditions in the Second Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Nothing in this Modification, or in any other document executed in connection herewith is, or shall be deemed or construed to be, a novation, cancellation, satisfaction, release, extinguishment, or substitution of the indebtedness evidenced by the Second Note or of any obligation of Borrower under the Second Note or the other Second Loan Documents.

 

5.    Consent of Guarantors. Each Guarantor: (a) has reviewed this Modification and any and all other documents and instruments in connection herewith; (b) hereby consents to the execution and delivery hereof; and

(c) agrees and confirms that Guarantors’ liabilities and obligations under the Second Guarantees shall continue in full force and effect and shall not in any manner be impaired, discharged, or released by the execution and delivery of this Modification or any other documents or instruments in connection herewith. Nothing contained in this Modification, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or a waiver of any breach or default in the performance by Borrower Parties of their respective obligations to Lender, whether evidenced by the Second Note, the Second Guarantees, or otherwise, nor shall Lender be impaired or limited in its ability to fully and completely enforce any and all rights and remedies presently available to Lender under the Second Loan Documents for a breach of Borrower’s obligations as required by the Second Note or the other Second Loan Documents as may exist at the time of the making of this Modification.

 

6.    Miscellaneous. This Modification is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender, Lender’s successors and/or assigns, Borrower, and Guarantors, and no other person, entity, or entities shall have the right of action hereon, the right to claim any right or benefit from the terms contained herein, or be deemed a third-party beneficiary hereunder. The provisions of this Modification shall govern and control in the event of any conflict between this Modification and the provisions of any of the Second Loan Documents. This Modification and the Second Loan Documents, as amended by this Modification, constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters addressed herein, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous contracts, representations, statements, and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters. Borrower Parties acknowledge and represent that they were adequately represented by legal counsel in this transaction and that this Modification is the result of negotiation and compromise between the parties and shall not be construed against Lender. This Modification shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Missouri or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Missouri. If any provision of this Modification shall be determined to be void by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Modification, and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and

 

effect. This Modification may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute the same Modification. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Modification by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Modification. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall take such actions, perform such duties, and execute, acknowledge, and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required by Lender to carry out the intent and purpose of this Modification. The title and the headings of the various sections of this Modification have been inserted only for the purpose of convenience, are not part of this Modification, and should not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand, or restrict any of the provisions of this Modification.

 

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Modification as of the Effective Date.

Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that such Borrower has the right, power and capacity and is duly authorized and empowered to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Sixth Amendment. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Sixth Amendment shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, constitute a violation of any applicable law or breach of any provision contained in such Borrower’s organizational or governance documents, or contained in any agreement, instrument or document to which such Borrower is now or hereafter a party or by which Borrower is or may become

 

bound.

 

XV.    Forbearance Limitation. The forbearance described in this Sixth Amendment shall be limited solely to the Existing Defaults and shall not be deemed (a) a forbearance with respect to any terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, other than the Existing Defaults, (b) a waiver by Lender of any breach, Default or Event of Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or (c) to affect any of Lender’s rights or remedies, whether at law, in equity or otherwise and whether pursuant to the Loan Documents, except as expressly provided herein.

 

 

 

XVI.

Construction.

 

A.    This Sixth Amendment has been delivered and accepted in Chicago, Illinois, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

 

B.    Wherever possible, each provision of this Sixth Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid and enforceable under applicable law, but if any provision of this Sixth Amendment is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed herefrom and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Sixth Amendment, the balance of which shall remain in and have its intended full force and effect; provided, however, if such provision may be reasonably modified so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such provision shall be deemed to be modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

C.    The Paragraph headings contained in this Sixth Amendment are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement among Borrowers and Lender, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Sixth Amendment, any Paragraph or provision thereof.

 

D.    This Sixth Amendment shall be binding on Borrowers and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors, assigns, affiliates, divisions and parent.

 

E.    This Sixth Amendment cannot be assigned by any Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, however, Lender may assign this Sixth Amendment, the Loan Documents and the Loans without notice to or the consent of any Borrower.

 

F.    No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any of any rights, powers or privileges of Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. No extension of time for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for payment or performance of any other Obligations. This Sixth Amendment may not be altered, changed, amended or modified, except by a written agreement signed by Lender and Borrowers. Whenever required by context, the masculine pronouns will include the feminine and neuter genders, and the singular will include the plural, and vice versa.

 

G.    This Sixth Amendment constitutes the entire agreement between Borrowers and Lender with regard to the subject matter hereof.

 

XVIII. Conflict. If, and to the extent, the terms and provisions of this Sixth Amendment contradict or conflict with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Sixth

 

Amendment shall govern and control; provided, however, to the extent the terms and provisions of this Sixth Amendment do not contradict or conflict with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Sixth Amendment, shall remain in and have its intended full force and effect, and Lender and each Borrower hereby affirms, confirms and ratifies the same.

 

XVIII.    Reaffirmation. Each Borrower hereby reaffirms and remakes all of its representations, warranties, covenants, duties, obligations and liabilities contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby (it being understood and agreed that (i) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers set forth in the Credit Agreement), on and as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date and

(ii) any representation or warranty as to the existence, occurrence or continuation of Defaults or Events of Default shall exclude the Existing Defaults).

 

 

XIX.

Fees, Costs and Expenses.

 

A.    Borrowers agree to pay, promptly following demand, all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of Lender, including, but not limited to, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Sixth Amendment and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith or pursuant hereto.

 

B.    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with Borrowers covenants, duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, as amended hereby, and this Sixth Amendment (including, without limitation, all such costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Sale Transaction), shall be paid and satisfied by Borrowers.

 

XX.    Counterpart. This Sixth Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or email transmitted executed counterpart to this Sixth Amendment and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed in connection herewith will be deemed an acceptable original for purposes of consummating this Sixth Amendment and such other agreements, documents and instruments; provided, however, Borrowers shall be required to deliver to Lender original executed signature pages in substitution for said facsimile or email transmitted signature pages upon Lender’s request therefor.

 

XXI.    Reservation of Rights. Other than with respect to the forbearance set forth herein, Lender hereby continues to reserve all of its rights and remedies, including all security interests, assignments and liens, pursuant to this Sixth Amendment, and the Loan Documents, as well as any rights and remedies at law, in equity or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Sixth Amendment shall be or be deemed a waiver of any presently existing or any hereafter arising or occurring breach, default or Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the Existing Defaults.

 

XXII.    Jury Trial Waiver. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN BORROWERS AND LENDER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN THE OTHER AGREEMENTS.

 

XXIII.    WAIVER AND RELEASE. IN CONSIDERATION OF LENDER’S EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES LENDER, ITS PREDECESSORS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, ATTORNEYS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND EACH OF THEM (EACH A “RELEASED PARTY”), OF AND FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COUNTERCLAIMS, SET-OFFS, DEFENSES, DEBTS, OBLIGATIONS, COSTS, EXPENSES, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND, NATURE AND DESCRIPTION WHATSOEVER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, LIQUIDATED OR UNLIQUIDATED, AND INSURED OR UNINSURED, WHICH ANY BORROWER HERETOFORE, NOW OR FROM TIME TO TIME HEREAFTER OWN, HOLD OR HAVE BY REASON OF ANY MATTER, CAUSE OR THING WHATSOEVER, ARISING ON OR BEFORE THE DATE OF THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT FROM, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT, BORROWERS’ BANKING OR CASH MANAGEMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH LENDER OR ANY OTHER RELEASED PARTY OR ANY MATTERS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.
