The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management intends to finance operations with future debt or equity financings, however, if and when such financings may occur are uncertain.
In making this assessment management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances including: its financial position, cash flow and cash usage forecasts, and obligations and debts. Although management has a recent history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability as a going concern does not include cash sources outside the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and condensed financial statements information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited whereas the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed on the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates its business relationships with related parties to identify potential Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. The Company will consolidate any VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both characteristics are met, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into its consolidated financial statements.
As prescribed by ASC 810, if the Company holds a variable interest in a VIE but is not the entity’s primary beneficiary, it shall disclose its methodology for determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, e.g., significant judgments and assumptions made. Additional information required includes information about the types of involvement considered significant, and those considered in the determination of whether the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary.
Furthermore, if the Company provides or intends to provide financial or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE, when not contractually required to, the Company shall disclose the type and amount of the support, along with the primary reasons for providing the support. Both qualitative and quantitative information about the Company’s involvement with the VIE, shall include the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the VIE, including how the VIE is financed.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its carried value.
Intangible Assets
The Company acquired amortizable intangibles assets as part of asset purchase agreements consisting of customer relationships, trade names and proprietary technology. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives on a straight-line basis.
The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in the Company’s valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model. |

Derivative Action
On December 21, 2023, Ault Lending, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ault Alliance, Inc. (“Ault”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders, filed a derivative shareholder action in Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its Directors, and other Company shareholders (The Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures) (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in approving a recent above-market private placement equity transaction. The complaint alleges the Company, and its directors followed an inadequate process in evaluating the private placement transaction which occurred back in November 2023 and entered into the transaction with an intent to dilute Ault’s ownership stake in the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of the litigation and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action.
The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is subject to claims, suits and other proceedings that could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreased to approximately $10,622,000 from approximately $15,931,000 representing a decrease of approximately $5,309,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sell-through results during the prior year holiday season, mostly with our largest customer, Walmart, which in turn reduced their forecast for the upcoming holiday season resulting in decreased stock purchases.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to approximately $2,375,000 from approximately $3,734,000 representing a decrease of approximately $1,359,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in net sales as described above.
| 25 |
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, total operating expenses decreased to approximately $1,118,000, compared to approximately $3,628,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This represents a decrease in total operating expenses of approximately $2,510,000 from the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company wrote off the remaining operating lease liability on the hospitality Lease Agreement due to a termination Settlement Agreement and recognized a gain on early termination of the operating lease of approximately $3,874,000 as the related right of use asset had already been written off as impaired in the previous quarter. Selling expenses decreased by approximately $516,000 of variable and discretionary selling expenses commensurate with the decrease in net sales as described above. These decreases in operating expenses were offset by increases in stock-based consulting expenses of approximately $426,000 and increased third-party logistics costs of approximately $213,000 associated with the closing of the Company’s logistics warehouse in the prior year. In addition, there was an increase in operating expenses of approximately $816,000 related to the asset acquisition agreement of SemiCab.
Other Expenses (Income)
Other expenses consisted of interest expense of approximately $283,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to interest expense of approximately $53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense of approximately $230,000 was primarily due to interest incurred on debt from the recently acquired asset purchase of SemiCab. There was a gain on the disposal of warehouse equipment of approximately $44,000 associated with the closing of the logistics facility in California during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not recognize any income tax provision. The Company is not recognizing any tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as the Company is not forecasting any taxable income for the current year and had a loss before income tax benefit in the previous year. The Company’s income tax expense differs for the expected tax benefit based on statutory rates primarily due history of losses and forecasts that suggest the Company will not be able to utilize any deferred tax assets in the future.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Net Sales
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, decreased to approximately $15,488,000 from approximately $21,939,000 representing a decrease of approximately $6,451,000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sell-through results during the prior year holiday season, mostly with our largest customer, Walmart, which in turn reduced their forecast for the upcoming holiday season resulting in decreased stock purchases.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased to approximately $3,201,000 from approximately $5,357,000 representing a decrease of approximately $2,156,000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in net sales as described above. Gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 20.7%, as compared to 24.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease in gross profit margin was due to a product mix of excess inventory that was sold at margins significantly lower than current active products.
| 26 |
Operating Expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total operating expenses increased to approximately $10,386,000 compared to approximately $9,829,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This represents an increase in total operating expenses of approximately $557,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in stock-based consulting expenses of approximately $426,000 and an increase in operating expenses of approximately $816,000 related to the asset acquisition agreement of SemiCab. These increases were offset by a decrease in variable and discretionary selling expenses of approximately $596,000 commensurate with the decrease in net sales as described above.
Other (Expenses) Income, net
Other expenses, net increased to approximately $328,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to other income, net of approximately $626,000.
There was interest expense of approximately $328,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to interest expense of approximately $122,000. The increase in interest expense of approximately $206,000 was primarily due to interest incurred on debt from the recently acquired asset purchase of SemiCab. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was a refund of approximately $704,000 from the Employee Retention Credit program and a gain on the disposal of warehouse equipment of approximately $44,000 associated with the closing of the logistics facility in California.
Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize any income tax provision as the Company is not forecasting any taxable income for the current year. The Company’s income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was approximately $1,502,000 as the Company recognized a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets based on the recent history of losses and forecasts that suggested the Company would not be able to utilize the deferred tax assets in the future. The Company’s income tax expense differs for the expected tax benefit/expense based on statutory rates primarily due to full valuation allowance for all of its subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $7,247,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and has a history of recurring losses.
On September 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of approximately $621,000 as compared to approximately $6,703,000 on December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash on hand of approximately $6,082,000 from December 31, 2023, was primarily due to approximately $7,069,000 used in operations. We advanced approximately $776,000 to SMCB for prepaid services under a service agreement (See Note 5). There was a decrease in refunds due to customers of approximately $1,968,000 which included payment of approximately $768,000 to one major customer for refunds due for overstock returned by the customer in the prior year. There was a seasonal increase in reserves for sales returns of approximately $1,180,000. These uses of cash were offset by proceeds of approximately $1,489,000 for the sale of its common stock and a decrease in trade and related party accounts receivable of approximately $3,158,000. As of September 30, 2024, we had deficit working capital of approximately $2,082,000.
On September 30, 2023, we had cash on hand of approximately $3,213,000 as compared to $2,795,000 as of December 31, 2022. The increase in cash on hand of approximately $418,000 was primarily due to approximately $760,000 provided by operating activities primarily due to peak seasonal increases of accounts payable of approximately $10,442,000 primarily due to factory vendors offset by seasonal increases in accounts receivable of approximately $3,982,000, inventories or approximately $3,424,000 accrued expenses related to seasonal accruals for estimated returned goods and co-op incentive program expenses, approximately $1,132,000. Net cash used investing activities for the purchase of molds and tooling was approximately $163,000. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $234,000. While the Company received proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants and issuance of common stock (net of offering costs) of approximately $1,640,000, this increase in financing activities was offset by repayment of revolving credit lines of credit and other debt of approximately $1,874,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As previously reported on Form 8-K filed on August 30, 2024, on August 26, 2024, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that its stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 did not meet the minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”) for continued listing, or the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. Pursuant to the Equity Rule, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.
On November 13, 2024, the Company filed a Form 8-K stating that it believed it regained compliance with the Equity Rule. As disclosed herein, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.7 million.
NASDAQ has advised the Company that it will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.
Based on cash flow projections from operating and financing activities and the existing balance of cash, management is of the opinion that the Company has insufficient funds to sustain operations for at least one year after the date of this report, and it may not be able to meet its payment obligations from operations and related commitments, if the Company is not able to obtain outside financing to allow the Company to continue as a going concern. Based on these factors, the Company has substantial doubt that it will continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance date of the financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
The Company’s plan to alleviate the going concern issue is to increase revenue while controlling operating costs and expenses and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. While management is optimistic about its ability to raise funds to fund operations for at least one year after the date of this report, there can be no assurance that any such measures will be successful.
The Company’s ability to raise additional funds will depend, in part, on the success of our product development activities, and other events or conditions that may affect the share value or prospects, as well as factors related to financial, economic and market conditions, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurances that sufficient funds will be available to us when required or on acceptable terms, if at all. Accordingly, management has concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgement increases such judgements become even more subjective. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions have not materially changed from those identified in our Transition Report for the period ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for small reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During our transition period ended December 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.
| 1. | We lack sufficient resources in our accounting department restricting our ability to review and approve certain material journal entries which increases the likelihood that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements might not be prevented. Management evaluated our current process of review and approval of certain material journal entries and concluded this deficiency represented a material weakness. |
| 2. | We lack sufficient resources in our accounting department, which restricts our ability to review certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have proper segregation between the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations and concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. |
| 3. | Due to resource restrictions, we have not established a three-way match of documents or other controls precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue. Management evaluated our current process of determining the occurrence of revenue and concluded this deficiency represented a material weakness. |
Planned Remediation
We continue to work on improving and simplifying our internal processes and implement enhanced controls to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed above and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. We are addressing our accounting resource requirements to help remediate the segregation of duties and plan to implement a concise “three-way” document matching procedure. These material weaknesses will not be considered as remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Despite the material weaknesses identified above, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material aspects, our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Blue Yonder, Inc. Lawsuit
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement with SemiCab, the Company assumed a judgement against SemiCab regarding damages resulting from contract breach for IT subscription-based services. On March 28, 2020, SemiCab entered into a service contract and agreement with Blue Yonder, Inc. (“Blue Yonder”) for certain IT subscription-based services.

The suit was found in favor of Blue Yonder in the amount of $509,119, subject to two separate milestone payments that would otherwise deem the entire balance due satisfied if either milestone payment is made by the Company. The first milestone payment for $175,000 and was due on July 1, 2024 and was not made. In the event this payment is made, the remaining settlement shall be deemed satisfied. If this payment is not made, the Company shall owe a total of $225,000 by October 1, 2024. In the event this payment is made, the remaining settlement shall be deemed satisfied. If neither payment is made, Blue Yonder shall be entitled to execute the full $509,119 beginning January 1, 2025. As of the date of this filing, none of the scheduled payments have been made. A liability of $509,119 has been recorded as a component of accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Action
On December 21, 2023, Ault Lending, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ault Alliance, Inc. (“Ault”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders, filed a derivative shareholder action in Delaware Chancery Court against the Company, its Directors, and other Company shareholders (The Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures) (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of fiduciary duty in approving a recent above-market private placement equity transaction. The complaint alleges the Company, and its directors followed an inadequate process in evaluating the private placement transaction which occurred back in November 2023 and entered into the transaction with an intent to dilute Ault’s ownership stake in the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts underlying the claims, the uncertainty of the litigation and the preliminary stage of the case, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that may result from this action.
