NOTE 2 — PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Envela and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities within the recommerce sector. These activities include being one of the nation’s premier authenticated recommerce retailers of luxury hard assets; providing end-of-life asset recycling and resale to businesses, organization and retail consumers; offering data destruction and IT asset management; and providing products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial companies. Envela operates primarily via two operating and reportable segments. Our consumer segment, formerly known as the DGSE segment, operates DGSE, LLC (“DGSE”), Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, Charleston Gold & Diamond Exchange, and Bullion Express brands. Our commercial segment, formerly known as the ECHG segment, operates ECHG, LLC (“ECHG”), Echo Environmental Holdings, LLC (“Echo”), ITAD USA Holdings, LLC (“ITAD USA”), Teladvance, LLC (“Teladvance”), CEX Holdings, LLC (“CEX”) and Avail Recovery Solutions, LLC (“Avail”). Envela is a Nevada corporation, headquartered in Irving, Texas.

 

Our consumer segment primarily buys and resells or recycles luxury hard assets like jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, fine watches, rare coins and related collectibles, precious-metal bullion products, gold, silver and other precious-metals. We operate seven jewelry stores at both the retail and wholesale levels throughout the United States via its facilities in Texas, South Carolina and Arizona. The Company purchased a new retail building in Arizona, but has yet to open. The consumer segment is continuing to promote and build the Bullion Express brand into a leading on-line seller of bullion. Buying and selling items for their precious-metals content is a major method by which we are marketed. The consumer segment also offers jewelry repair services, custom-made jewelry and consignment items, and maintains relationships with refiners for precious-metal items that are not retained for resale. We also maintain a presence in retail markets through websites, www.dgse.com, www.cgdeinc.com and www.bullionexpress.com.

Our commercial segment primarily buys electronic components from business and other organizations, such as school districts, for end-of-life recycling and resell, or to add life to electronic devices by data destruction and refurbishment for reuse. We also recycle and resale electronics at the retail level. We focus on end-of-life electronics recycling and sustainability and ITAD USA provides IT equipment disposition, including compliance and data sanitization services. Teladvance, CEX and Avail operate as value-added resellers by providing offerings and services to companies looking either to upgrade capabilities or dispose of equipment. Like the consumer segment, the commercial segment also maintains relationships with refiners or recyclers to which it sells valuable materials it extracts from electronics and IT equipment that are not appropriate for resale or reuse. The commercial segment’s customers are companies and organizations that are based domestically and internationally.

 

For additional information on the businesses of both the consumer and commercial segments, see “Item 1. Business – Operating Segments” in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.
