DOMINARI HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
and Recent Developments
Organization and Description of Business
Dominari Holdings Inc. (the “Company”),
formerly AIkido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company has operated as a biotechnology company
with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. In an effort to
enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari
Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and
financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”), an introducing
broker-dealer, registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an investment adviser registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities provides investment advisory services and annuity
and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated brokers.
Additionally, AIkido Labs, LLC (“Aikido
Labs”), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is in the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology
assets consisting of patented technologies from leading universities and researchers, including prospective treatments for pancreatic
cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Aikido Labs has historically explored opportunities in high growth industries
and has equity holdings including Anduril Industries, Inc, Databricks, Inc., Discord, Inc., Epic Games, Inc., Payward, Inc. dba Kraken,
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. dba SpaceX, Tevva Motors Ltd., Thrasio, LLC, and Yanka Industries, Inc. dba Masterclass.
Note 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative
and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue. While the Company continues
to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities through managing current cash on hand from the Company’s
past equity offerings.
Based upon projected cash flow requirements, the
Company has adequate cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s
significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report other than those discussed below.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and
in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed
balance sheet at December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures
from the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company’s policy is to consolidate all
entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the membership interest or outstanding voting stock. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aikido Labs, Dominari
Financial, and Dominari Securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for a full year or any future period.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant
estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation of investments, the valuation of notes receivable and the valuation
allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions,
including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have
an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Deposits with clearing broker
Deposits with Dominari Securities’ clearing
broker consisted of approximately $7.1 million held in money market funds and liquid insured deposits maintained by the Company with its
clearing broker as of June 30, 2023.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC
842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified
as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and
lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s
incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset
is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset
result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of
the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred (see Note
10 - Leases).
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenues under ASC
606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control
of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
The
following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company’s revenues from contracts with customers:
| ● | Underwriting
services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital
markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings,
and underwriting and distributing public and private debt. Underwriting and placement agent
revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control
and benefit of the underwriting offering at that point. Costs associated with underwriting
transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise
concluded and are recorded on a gross basis within the general and administrative line item
in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as the Company is acting
as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by the Company’s clients
are recognized as other income. |
| ● | Commissions
are earned by executing, transactions for clients primarily in equity,
equity-related, and debt products. Commission revenues associated with trade execution are recognized
at a point in time on trade-date. Commissions revenues are generally paid on settlement date
and the Company records receivables to account for timing between trade-date and payment
on settlement date. |
Recently adopted accounting standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08,
Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU
2021-08”). This update amends Topic 805 to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the
recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure
contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023.
There was no material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the implementation of ASU
2021-08.
Effect of new accounting pronouncements not
yet adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair
Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, to clarify that a contractual restriction on the
sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring
the fair value of the equity security. ASU 2022-03 also clarifies that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual
sale restriction as a separate unit of account. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 may be early adopted and are effective on
a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and whether it will early adopt
the amendments in ASU 2022-03.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01,
Leases, to require entities to classify and account for leases with related parties on the basis of legally enforceable terms
and conditions of the arrangement. The amendments are effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated
financial statements and whether it will early adopt the amendments in ASU 2023-01.
Effect of new accounting pronouncements to
be adopted in future periods
The Company reviewed all other recently issued
accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. FPS Acquisition
On September 9, 2022, Dominari Financial entered
into a membership interest purchase agreement, as amended and restated on March 27, 2023 (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”) with
Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Seller”), a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fieldpoint
Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“FPS”), that is a broker-dealer registered with FINRA and
an investment adviser registered with the SEC (the “FPS Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement,
Dominari Financial purchased from the Seller 100% of the membership interests in FPS (the “FPS Membership Interests”).
FPS’s registered broker-dealer and investment adviser businesses were renamed and will operate as Dominari Securities, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial. The FPS Purchase Agreement provides for Dominari Financial’s acquisition of FPS’s
Membership Interests in two closings, the first of which occurred on October 4, 2022 (the “Initial Closing”), at which
Dominari Financial paid to the Seller $2.0 million in consideration for a transfer by the Seller to Dominari Financial of 20%
of the FPS Membership Interests. Following the Initial Closing, FPS filed a continuing membership application requesting approval
for a change of ownership, control, or business operations with FINRA in accordance with FINRA Rule 1017 (the “Rule 1017 Application”).
The Rule 1017 Application was approved by FINRA on March 20, 2023. The second closing (the “Second Closing”) occurred on March
27, 2023. Dominari Financial paid to the Seller an additional approximate $1.6 million consideration for a transfer by the Seller
to Dominari Financial of the remaining 80% of the FPS Membership Interests.
Consideration Transferred
The FPS Acquisition was accounted for as a business
combination under ASC 805.
Under the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement
and subsequent Amendments and Side Letters, 100% of the FPS Membership Interests were acquired for cash consideration of approximately
$3.4 million, which reflected the fair value of net assets acquired, plus a $1 purchase price. At March 31, 2023, Dominari Financial had
not finalized the purchase accounting related to the fair value of assets acquired in the FPS Acquisition. Pursuant to the Initial Closing
and Second Closing, Dominari Financial had wired a total of approximately $3.6 million in cash to the Seller. The purchase price allocation
identified net assets of approximately $3.4 million, resulting in a receivable due from the Seller for approximately $0.2 million. The
receivable is not included within the consideration transferred as part of the FPS Acquisition but is included within prepaid expenses
and other assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the
assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of FPS were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values, and consolidated
with those of the Company. Acquisition-related costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed in
the periods in which costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of transaction costs associated with the FPS
Acquisition. The transaction costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement
of operations.

Dominari Securities reported a net loss of approximately
$7.7 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for the period ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $0.07 million. The
net loss was primarily a result of approximately $5.4 million of bonus and employee compensation expense and professional services of
approximately $0.9 million. The bonus and compensation expense and professional service fees related to establishing the operations of
the broker-dealer and are included in the general and administrative expenses line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement
of operations.

Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Liabilities
Financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market
for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use
of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses three levels of inputs that may
be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable
(for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant
management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the
fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that
is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
The following table presents the Company’s
assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In the past, in the ordinary course of business,
the Company actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of the Company’s
technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company is not aware of any material, active or pending
legal proceedings brought against it.
Note 15. Regulatory
Dominari Securities, the Company’s broker-dealer
subsidiary, is registered with the SEC as an introducing broker-dealer and is a member of FINRA. The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary
is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio
of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. As such, the subsidiary is subject to the minimum
net capital requirements promulgated by the SEC and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the basic method permitted
by Rule 15c3-1. As of June 30, 2023, Dominari Securities had net capital of approximately $7.3 million, which was approximately $7.2 million
in excess of required minimum net capital of $0.1 million.
Note 16. Related Party Transaction
In 2021, the Company engaged the services of Revere
Securities, LLC (“Revere”) to strategically manage and build the Company’s investment processes. Kyle Wool, Board Member,
is also a member of the board of directors of Revere. The Company incurred fees of approximately $0.08 million and $0.6 million during
the six months ending June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These fees were included in general and administrative expense in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 17. Segment Reporting
The Company operates in two reportable
business segments: (1) Dominari Securities and (2) Legacy AIkido Pharma. The Dominari Securities reportable business segment represents
the Company’s broker-dealer business, which is composed of underwriting and transactional service activities. The Legacy AIkido
Pharma reportable business segment includes Aikido Labs, which manages the investments holdings of the legacy entity. Prior to the FPS Acquisition, the Company operated as a single operating segment comprised of Legacy AIkido Pharma.
The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”)
has access to and regularly reviews internal financial reporting for each business and uses that information to make operational decisions
and allocate resources. Accounting policies applied by the reportable segments are the same as those used by the Company and described
in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” While assets are primarily held within the Legacy AIkido Pharma
reportable business segment, total assets by segment is not disclosed as the CODM does not assess performance, make strategic decisions,
or allocate resources based on assets.
The measures of segment profitability that are most
relied upon by the CODM are gross revenues and net loss, as presented within the table below and reconciled to the statement of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
You should read this discussion together with
the Financial Statements, related Notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following discussion
contains assumptions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All references to “we,”
“us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Dominari Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
Overview
Dominari
Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), formerly AIkido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the
Company has operated as a biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their
related patent technology. In an effort to enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services
subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating
focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari
Securities LLC (Dominari Securities), an introducing broker-dealer, registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities provides investment
advisory services and annuity and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated
brokers.
Additionally,
AIkido Labs, LLC (“Aikido Labs”), another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is in the process of winding down its historical

Reverse Stock Split
On June 7, 2022, the
Company effected a seventeen-for-one (17-for-1) reverse stock split of its class of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by stockholders at an annual stockholder meeting on May 20, 2022, was consummated pursuant
to a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on June 2, 2022. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on
June 7, 2022. All references to common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common
stock, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, share data, per share data and related information contained in the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all
periods presented. Payment for fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split amounted to $26,000.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We have identified the accounting policies
that we believe require application of management’s most subjective judgments, often requiring the need to make estimates about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our actual results may differ substantially
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies
and estimates since December 31, 2022. The following represent those critical accounting policies that we believe most significantly impact
the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Long-term investments
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01 and related ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2019-04 concerning recognition and measurement
of financial assets and financial liabilities. In adopting this guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election to adopt
an adjusted cost method measurement alternative for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
For equity investments that are accounted for
using the measurement alternative, the Company initially records equity investments at cost but is required to adjust the carrying value
of such equity investments through earnings when there is an observable transaction involving the same or a similar investment with the
same issuer or upon an impairment.
Refer to Note 3 of the Annual Report for a discussion
of all accounting policies.

financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting standards.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023, compared
to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we
recognized approximately $0.07 million in revenue from operations, primarily driven by the underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of approximately $9.0 million and $2.3 million,
respectively. The consistent loss in operations year over year was primarily attributable to the following:
|
i. |
An approximate $6.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses – driven by approximately $0.02 million and $0.8 million of professional fees (legal, consulting, accounting, etc.) incurred to establish and operate Dominari Financial and Dominari Securities, respectively. In addition, the Company also incurred increased compensation expenses of approximately $6.3 million due to growing operations. |
|
ii. |
An approximate $0.03 million decrease in research and development expenses – attributable to the Company’s strategic business decision to transition away from the biotechnology industry and into financial services. The result is a decrease in research and development related expenses by almost 100%. |
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and
2022, other income (expenses) was approximately $0.3 million and $(2.8) million, respectively. The activity for the three months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, is primarily a result of overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty (i.e. inflation,
global tensions in the Ukraine, etc.) impacting marketable securities and the change in fair value of short and long-term investments.
Specifically:
|
i. |
Marketable securities – we recognized a gain of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of approximately $2.6 million in losses over prior year is a direct result of a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $2.6 million and increase in dividend income of approximately $0.1 million, offset by an increase in realized loss of approximately $0.08 million. The decreases were driven by both market improvement and decrease in sale activity resulting in fewer realized losses. |
|
ii. |
Short-term and long-term
investments –The changes over the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are a function of observable market transactions
which resulted in a decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million on the adjusted fair value of the investments during
the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023, compared to
the Six months ended June 30, 2022
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we
recognized approximately $0.07 million in revenue from operations, primarily driven by the underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, we incurred a loss from operations of approximately $12.8 million and $6.1 million,
respectively. The consistent loss in operations year over year was primarily attributable to the following:
|
i. |
An approximate $8.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses – driven by approximately $0.1 million and $0.9 million of professional fees (legal, consulting, accounting, etc.) incurred to establish and operate Dominari Financial and Dominari Securities, respectively. In addition, the Company also incurred increased compensation expenses of approximately $6.3 million due to growing operations. |
|
ii. |
An approximate $2.0 million decrease in research and development expenses – attributable to the Company’s strategic business decision to transition away from the biotechnology industry and into financial services. The result is a decrease in research and development related expenses by almost 100%. |
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and
2022, other income (expenses) was approximately $0.4 million and $(2.5) million, respectively. The activity for the six months ended June
30, 2023 and 2022, is primarily a result of overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty (i.e. inflation,
global tensions in the Ukraine, etc.) impacting marketable securities and the change in fair value of short and long-term investments.
Specifically:
|
i. |
Marketable securities – we recognized a gain of approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of approximately $3.1 million in losses over prior year is a direct result of a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $2.8 million and increase in dividend income of approximately $0.2 million, offset by an increase in realized loss of approximately $0.08 million. The decreases were driven by both market improvement and decrease in sale activity resulting in fewer realized losses. |
|
ii. |
Short-term and long-term investments –The changes over the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are a function of observable market transactions which resulted in a decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million on the adjusted fair value of the investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to incur ongoing administrative and
other expenses, including public company expenses. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities
through:
|
● |
managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from our past debt and equity offerings; |
|
● |
seeking additional funds raised through the sale of additional securities in the future; and |
|
● |
seeking additional liquidity through credit facilities or other debt arrangements. |
Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability
to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our business may require significant amounts of capital to
sustain operations that we need to execute our longer-term business plan to support our transition into the financial services industry.
Our working capital amounted to approximately $35.7 million as of June 30, 2023. We believe our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with
the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, and capital expenditure requirements for at
least the next 12 months. In the event that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund our operations, as expected, or if our
plans or assumptions change, including if inflation begins to have a greater impact on our business or if we decide to move forward with
any activities that require more outlays of cash than originally planned, we may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected.
We may raise this additional capital by obtaining additional debt or equity financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business
that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded
company or from continuing operations.
Our
ability to obtain capital to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial
condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions
in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Specifically,
as a result of recent volatility and weakness in the public markets, due to, among other factors, uncertainty in the global economy and
financial markets, it may be much more difficult to raise additional capital, if and when it is needed, unless the public markets become
less volatile and stronger at such time that we seek to raise additional capital. In addition, any additional debt service requirements
we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations
and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For
the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash used in operations was approximately $13.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively.
The cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to a net loss of approximately
$11.7 million, approximately $0.5 million of realized gain
on marketable securities and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.6 million, partially offset by $2.7 million stock-based
compensation expense and approximately $0.5 million in unrealized losses on marketable securities. The cash used in operating activities
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily resulted from a net loss of $8.6 million and change in fair value of long-term investment
of $1.4 million and is partially offset by change in fair value of short-term investment of $1.6 million and unrealized loss on marketable
securities of $2.3 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022,
net cash used in investing activities was approximately $14.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The cash used in investing activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily resulted from our purchase of marketable securities of approximately $34.0 million and
the acquisition of FPS of approximately $1.1 million, partially offset by our sale of marketable securities of approximately $20.5 million.
The Company also collected approximately $0.5 million in principal related to its short-term notes. The cash used in investing activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily resulted from our purchase of marketable securities of $27.5 million, purchase of promissory
notes of $1.6 million and purchase of investments of $14.6 million, partially offset by our sale of marketable securities of $28.3 million
since we invest excess cash into marketable securities until additional cash is needed.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used
in financing activities was approximately $0.9 million, which reflects the cost for purchase of treasury stock of approximately $0.9 million.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $5.6 million, which reflects the cost for redemption of Series
O and Series P Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of $22.0 million and cost for purchase of treasury stock of $1.5 million, partially
offset by net proceeds of $17.9 million from investors in exchange of issuance of issuance of Series O and Series P Redeemable Convertible
Preferred Stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
During the quarter ended
June 30, 2023, 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 the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
We have not made any
changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness
of Controls
Our management does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls
must be considered relative to their costs. 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, within our company have been detected.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the past, in the ordinary course of business,
we actively pursued legal remedies to enforce our intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of our technology. Other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together
with all of the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the other periodic and current reports and other
documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks materialize, our business,
financial condition, results of operation and future prospects will likely be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market
price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. This list is not exhaustive and the order of
presentation does not reflect management’s determination of priority or likelihood.
