Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.

Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Algorhythm,” the “registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is offering 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 51,682,352 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), together with Series A warrants to purchase up to 55,882,352 shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series B warrants to purchase up to 55,882,352 shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each share of our common stock, or a Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof, is being sold together with a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock and a Series B Warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. The shares of common stock (or pre-funded Warrants, as applicable) and Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering but must be purchased together in this offering.

The public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying Warrants is $0.17. The Series A Warrants will have an initial exercise price of $0.17 per share and will be exercisable beginning on the date of the approval by the stockholders of the Company (the “Initial Exercise Date” or “Effective Shareholder Approval Date” or Initial Exercise Date) of the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrants, among other things (the “Shareholder Approval”). The Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Series B Warrants will have an initial exercise price of $0.34 per share and will be exercisable beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date. The Series B Warrants will expire on the two and one-half year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.

Under the alternate cashless exercise option of the Series B Warrants, a holder of the Series B Warrant has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise of the Series B Warrant and (y) 1. The Series A Warrants will provide for an adjustment to the exercise price and number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants upon our issuance of our common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share that is less than the exercise price of the Series A Warrant, subject to certain exceptions.

On the 4th trading day after the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the Warrants’ exercise price will be reset to a price equal to the lower of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (a) the lowest daily VWAP during the period commencing on the first trading day prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date and ending following the close of trading on the fourth trading day thereafter and (b) the floor price then in effect as set forth in the Warrants, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be increased such that the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants on the issuance date for the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants then outstanding shall remain unchanged.

Any reduction to the exercise prices of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and resulting increase in the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants will be subject to a floor price equal to $0.08555 prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, and $0.03422 beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date. Following the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the exercise price reduction and adjustment provisions with respect to underlying shares of common stock in the Warrants described above will be effected using the reduced floor price.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RIME.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 3, 2024 was $0.19 per share.

We have engaged Univest Securities, LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has agreed to use its best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the placement agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay to the placement agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 68 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

The 51,682,352 Pre-Funded Warrants are being offered to purchasers of shares that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99% on at least 61 days’ notice) of the number of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to $0.16 (the price per share minus $0.01), and the remaining exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.01 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership limitation) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

Pursuant to this prospectus, we are also offering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants offered hereby.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not intend to list the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited. We anticipate that the shares of our common stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

We will have one closing for all the securities purchased in this offering. The offering will terminate upon the completion of a single closing, which is expected to occur on or about December 6, 2024.

We believe we are a leading global karaoke and music entertainment company that specializes in the design and production of quality karaoke and music enabled consumer products for adults and children. Our products are among the most widely available karaoke products in the world. Our mission is to “create joy through music.” To deliver on this mission, we are focused on the following multi-prong approach:

	●	In the short-term, improve profitability by optimizing operations and continue to expand gross margins; and
	●	In the mid-to-long-term, continue to expand into new verticals including automotive and connected-TV devices and grow our global distribution for our consumer karaoke products.

AI Logistics

SemiCab is a cloud-based Collaborative Transportation Platform built to achieve the scalability required to predict and optimize millions of loads and hundreds of thousands of trucks. To orchestrate collaboration across manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and their carriers, SemiCab uses real-time data from API-based load tendering and pre-built integrations with TMS and ELD partners. To build fully loaded round trips, SemiCab uses AI/ML techniques and advanced predictive optimization models. On the SemiCab platform, shippers pay less and carriers make more while not having to change a thing.

Since 2020, SemiCab has enabled major retailers, brands and transportation providers to address their transportation needs globally. SemiCab’s Orchestrated Collaboration™ AI model has proven to increase transportation capacity, improve asset utilization, reduce empty miles, lower logistics costs, and provide visibility into the entire transportation network. Models show the technology has the capability of saving shippers tens of billions of dollars annually through optimization. Further, SemiCab’s technology also has the potential to play a key role in the improved sustainability model globally. Based on its proven ability to improve truck utilization rates from 65% to over 90%, this results in a dramatic reduction in the carbon footprint of the industry. The optimization of existing truck utilization can add approximately 30% more trucking capacity without adding more trucks, drivers or driven miles which addresses common problems plaguing the industry like severe driver shortage and road congestion. Trucking optimization could also eliminate approximately 25% of CO2 emissions attributable to road freight.

The shares of common stock or the Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, sold in this offering and the accompanying Warrants, can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance. This offering also relates to the offering of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will be subject to certain further adjustments as described herein. See “Description of Securities.” We are also registering the issuance of (i) the 55,882,352 shares of our common stock underlying the Series A Warrants and (ii) the 55,882,352 shares of our common stock underlying the Series B Warrants.

Pre-Funded Warrants offered by us		We are also offering 51,682,352 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchasers whose purchase of shares in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described below. Each of these risk factors, either alone or taken together, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we currently believe are immaterial, which could also impair our business and financial position. If any of the events described below were to occur, our financial condition, our ability to access capital resources, our results of operations and/or our future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decline. As a result, you could lose some or all of any investment you may make in our common stock.

Risks Related to this Offering and the Ownership of Our Securities

Purchasers in this offering will suffer immediate dilution.

If you purchase securities in this offering, the value of your shares based on our pro forma net tangible book value will immediately be less than the offering price you paid. This reduction in the value of your equity is known as dilution. At the public offering price of $0.17 per share and assuming the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and no exercise of the Warrants issued in this offering, purchasers of shares in this offering will experience immediate dilution of approximately $0.07 per share, representing the difference between the public offering price per share in this offering and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments and after deducting estimated offering expenses, including placement agent fees, payable by us. See “Dilution.”

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or acquisitions.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any future offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into our common stock, in future transactions or acquisitions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

This offering grants our management broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. There are no contractual restrictions on how the management can allocate the net proceeds from this offering, which may be used at their discretion for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to, working capital, operational expenses, expansion of our business, and repayment of debt. While management intends to use the net proceeds in a manner that furthers our business objectives and maximizes the value for our investors, investors will have limited visibility into the specific uses of the net proceeds. This wide-ranging discretion allows management to allocate funds to areas that investors might not deem a priority or in their best interest. Consequently, the success of the investment is substantially dependent on the judgment of our management with regard to the application of the net proceeds. Investors should be aware that the broad discretion in the use of proceeds increases the risk of their investment, as it may reduce the ability to assess the viability and potential return of the investment. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of the Securities.

Although our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the volume of trading has historically been limited. Our average daily trading volume of our shares from January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024 was approximately 240,109 shares. Thinly traded stock can be more volatile than stock trading in a more active public market. We cannot predict whether and to what the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. Therefore, a holder of our common stock who wishes to sell his or her shares may not be able to do so immediately or at an acceptable price.

In addition, our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations in the future, which could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the market prices of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our securities.

Effective June 30, 2020, the SEC implemented Regulation Best Interest requiring that “A broker, dealer, or a natural person who is an associated person of a broker or dealer, when making a recommendation of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities (including account recommendations) to a retail customer, shall act in the best interest of the retail customer at the time the recommendation is made, without placing the financial or other interest of the broker, dealer, or natural person who is an associated person of a broker or dealer making the recommendation ahead of the interest of the retail customer.” This is a significantly higher standard for broker-dealers to recommend securities to retail customers than before under prior suitability rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). FINRA suitability rules do still apply to institutional investors and require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending securities to their customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information, and, for retail customers, determine that the investment is in the customer’s “best interest,” and meet other SEC requirements. Both SEC Regulation Best Interest and FINRA’s suitability requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy speculative, low-priced securities. They may affect investing in our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our securities. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

An investment in our securities is speculative, and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

Investors are cautioned that an investment in the securities offered hereby is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. The success of our business and the ability to achieve our business goals and objectives, as outlined in this prospectus, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks. As such, there is no assurance that investors will realize a return on their investment or that they will not lose their entire investment. Potential investors should carefully consider whether such a speculative investment is suitable for their financial situation and investment objectives before purchasing securities.

We may need, but be unable, to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

We have relied upon cash from financing activities, and, in the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financing may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding, and our ability to secure new sources of funding could be impaired.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to maintain effective internal controls could cause our investors to lose confidence in us and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our internal controls are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, requires that we maintain internal control over financial reporting that meets applicable standards. We may err in the design or operation of our controls, and all internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, there can be no assurance that all control issues have been or will be detected.

As we disclosed in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, we disclose that our management has assessed and identified several material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) and concluded that our IFCR was not effective as of December 31, 2023. The material weaknesses included our lack of sufficient resources in our accounting department restricting our ability to (i) 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, (ii) review certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner and (iii) establish a three-way match of documents or other controls precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue.

Although we have taken several steps to remediate the material weaknesses in our IFCR and continue to do so, there can be no assurances given that our actions will be effective. Any continued failure of our internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our Company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Additionally, the expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that we could otherwise use to develop our business. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our results of operations.

As a public company in the United States, we face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes Oxley-Act”). The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes- Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. For example, Section 404 requires that our management report on the effectiveness of our internal controls structure and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 compliance may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time and effort to complete. If we fail to maintain compliance under Section 404, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our Company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Any continued failure of our internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, particularly if we become fully subject to Section 404 and its auditor attestation requirements, which will increase costs, and evaluate the costs of our current service providers. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time- consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and to meeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market could delist and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RIME”. If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as a $1.00 minimum closing bid price and a requirement that we maintain stockholder’s equity of at least $2,500,000. On August 26, 2024, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market advising that the Company did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To demonstrate compliance with this requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock needs to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before February 24, 2025. In order to satisfy this requirement, the Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its common stock between now and February 24, 2025 and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

In addition on August 26, 2024, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As reported in its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2024 was ($872,000). Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule and instructions from Nasdaq, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule and was given an extension until November 14, 2024 to evidence compliance through a public filing.

On November 13, 2024, the Company filed a Form 8-K stating that it believed it regained compliance with the Equity Rule. As reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.7 million. On November 22, 2024, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that based on the Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2024, the Staff has determined that the Company is in compliance with the Listing Rule. 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.

New laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty for public companies, increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming.

These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by the courts and other bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.

As a “smaller reporting company” under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations in our SEC filings compared to larger public companies. This includes, but is not limited to, simplified executive compensation disclosures, reduced financial statement requirements, and less stringent narrative disclosure obligations. While these scaled disclosure requirements may reduce the burden on us and provide some cost savings, investors should be aware that they may also receive less information about the Company than they would from a larger public reporting company. The designation as a smaller reporting company and the accompanying reduced disclosure requirements could make it more difficult for investors to fully assess the value and risks of an investment in our securities. Consequently, the designation as a smaller reporting company under the SEC rules increases the risk to investors, as it may limit the amount of publicly available information to assess the Company’s performance, prospects, and financial health. Potential investors should consider the implications of these reduced disclosure requirements when making an investment decision.

We currently do not intend to declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as a result, your returns on your investment may depend solely on the appreciation of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we currently do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations and finance the growth and development of our business. This reinvestment strategy means that investors should not expect to receive any return on their investment through dividend payments. Consequently, any return on investment will likely depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur. Investors should be aware that the possibility of a lack of dividend income can significantly reduce the potential for income from their investment in our Company, and the only opportunity for achieving a return on their investment may be through the sale of their shares at a price greater than their purchase price, which may not be possible. This risk is compounded by the market’s volatile nature and the speculative nature of our business, which may not lead to sufficient profits or operational cash flows to enable dividend payments in the future. Potential investors should carefully consider the long-term nature of an investment in our company, given our intention not to pay dividends and the consequent requirement for investors to seek returns through other means, such as capital appreciation, which may not materialize.

You should consult your own independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to the securities offered in connection with this offering.

Participation in this offering could result in various tax-related consequences for investors. All prospective purchasers of the resold securities are advised to consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the resold securities in their particular situations.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert our management’s attention.

The market price of our securities may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns.

We may be unable to repay our indebtedness under the secured notes, and any default could harm our financial condition and could lead to us losing our collateralized assets.

In October 2024, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) to the Selling Stockholders. The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $2,352,941 with an original issue discount of 15%, and rank senior to any other Company indebtedness and our capital stock in the event of a liquidation, including the securities being offered hereby. Concurrently with issuing the Notes, the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee Agreement under which our wholly-owned subsidiaries guaranteed all of the obligations under the Notes. The Notes will mature on February 24, 2025. We further granted the Selling Stockholders a first lien and continuing first priority security interest in all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets as collateral for the Notes. While the Notes are outstanding, the Company agreed to certain restrictive covenants, including covenants providing that the Company and its subsidiaries are not permitted to incur any indebtedness, create any other liens or security interests on property or assets, make payments on any other indebtedness, change its business, or license our intellectual property, unless the Selling Stockholders give their prior written consent, which restrictions could materially adversely impact our operations and prevent or delay the execution of our business plan, strategic transactions or capital raising efforts.

We may be unable to repay our indebtedness under the Notes. If we default on the Notes, we will be subject to a 14% interest rate, and the Selling Stockholders may seek to exercise their security interest in our pledged collateral. If the Selling Stockholders seek to foreclose on their security interest in our pledged collateral, we may lose some or all of our assets, which could cause severe interruptions in our business practices or temporarily or permanently suspend our business operations. Our failure to repay the Notes and the consequences therefrom may negatively impact our financial condition and business operations and, in turn, your investment in us.

Risks Related to the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants

There is no public market for the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants offered in this offering are not and will not be listed on any securities exchange. Also, we do not intend to apply to have the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants listed on any securities exchange. Consequently, there is no public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. Accordingly, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the warrants. This lack of a trading market could result in investors being unable to liquidate their investment in the warrants or to sell them at a price that reflects their value. The absence of a public market for these securities could also reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock to which these warrants are exercisable. Investors should be prepared to bear the risk of investment in the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants indefinitely.

Lack of voting rights.

Holders of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will not have the same voting rights as those associated with our common stock and may have no voting rights with respect to the shares underlying the warrants until such shares are acquired upon exercise of the warrants. As a result, if such holders do not exercise their warrants, they will not have any influence over matters requiring stockholder approval during the period they hold the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable.

Exercise and conversion dilution.

The exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will increase the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. The amount of dilution, or the reduction in value to existing shares of common stock, is determined by the amount of shares ultimately obtained upon the exercise of the warrants relative to the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the time of exercise.

If the Warrants are deemed to be non-compliant with Nasdaq rules, we may be required to amend the terms of the Warrants, and could be subject to delisting.

While the Company believes the Warrants are compliant with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, the Company cannot provide any guarantee that the Warrants or, based on the Warrants, this offering are compliant with such rules and regulations, and Nasdaq may require amendment to the terms of the Warrants in order to comply with its rules and regulations including terms that are less favorable to the investors in this offering. Additionally, if we are unable to adequately address Nasdaq rules, our common stock could be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, which would materially adversely affect our liquidity and investors’ investment in our securities. See the risk factor titled “We may not be able to continue to satisfy listing requirements of Nasdaq to maintain a listing of our common stock.” on page 9.

Adjustments to the terms of Pre-Funded Warrants.

The terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, including the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, and similar transactions. While adjustments are generally intended to prevent dilution for holders of Pre-Funded Warrants, there is no assurance that such adjustments will fully protect the value of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Warrants are not exercisable until shareholder approval is obtained and, in certain cases, may be redeemed by us prior to their expiration.

The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are not exercisable unless and until the Warrant Shareholder Approval is obtained from our stockholders.

Any adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants will be subject to a floor price equal to $0.08555 prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, and $0.03422 beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date.

Additionally, we may redeem such Warrants for a nominal price upon 30 days’ prior notice to holders of the Warrants in certain circumstances. In the event that the trading price of the common stock is then lower than the applicable exercise price, or if the trading price of the common stock decreases to below the applicable exercise price due to large amounts of investors exercising their Warrants at such time, or the market’s expectation that such exercises will occur, then the Warrants may be “out-of-the-money” and you may choose not to exercise them prior to redemption by us.

If the Series B Warrants are exercised by way of an alternative cashless exercise, investors may suffer substantial dilution.

If the Series B Warrants are exercised by way of an alternative cashless exercise, assuming receipt of Shareholder Approval, such exercising holder will receive one share of common stock for each Series B Warrant they exercise, without any cash payment to us. Such issuance will result in substantial dilution to stockholders.

The Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants have beneficial ownership limitations.

An investment in our Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants involves a significant risk due to the 4.99% (or 9.99% if the investor so elects) beneficial ownership limitation. The terms of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants prohibit any single holder from exercising the warrants if such exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or 9.99% if the investor so elects) of our outstanding common stock immediately after the exercise, as elected by the holder at the time of issuance of the warrants. This limitation may also hinder the holder’s ability to sell or exercise the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants when it may be most advantageous to do so, which could affect the value of their investment.

We will not receive any meaningful amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable and will have no expiration date and by means of payment of the nominal cash purchase price upon exercise. Accordingly, we will not receive any or any meaningful additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant.

We may not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants.

If we receive Shareholder Approval, the Series B Warrants may be exercised by way of an alternative cashless exercise, in which case the holder would not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise, but instead would receive upon such exercise the number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cashless exercise of the Series B Warrants and (y) 1.0. Accordingly, we will likely not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants.

Risks Related to Our Company and Financial Condition

We may encounter difficulties accessing capital.

We have historically been reliant on third party working capital debt providers, and on periodic equity capital transactions to supplement our access to capital. Under certain circumstances, including the maintenance of our Nasdaq listing status, governmental regulatory compliance and other conditions, we may or may not continue to have access to either debt or equity capital. In the event of a loss of access to capital, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to continue to operate without material changes to its cost structure or revenue composition. There are also no assurances that even with such changes, that the Company could otherwise self-fund its ongoing operations.

We have incurred significant losses, have limited cash on hand and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $7,292,000 and $5,348,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company had accumulated deficits of approximately $33,206,000 and $25,915,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $7,069,000 and net cash provided by $760,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s unrestricted cash balance was $621,000. 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 prospectus.

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 prospectus, 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.

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations in furtherance of our business plan.

We incurred a net loss of approximately $7,292,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and had a net loss of approximately $6,398,000 during the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023. If we are unable to achieve profitable operations, we may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations in the furtherance of our business plan. Any proposed financing may include shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, warrants to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock, debt securities, units consisting of the foregoing securities, equity investments from strategic development partners or some combination of each. Any additional equity financing may be financially dilutive to, and will be dilutive from an ownership perspective to, our stockholders, and such dilution may be significant based upon the size of such financing. Additionally, we cannot assure that such funding will be available on a timely basis, in needed quantities, or on terms favorable to us, if at all.

We are heavily dependent on our senior management, and a loss of a member of our senior management team could cause our stock price to suffer.

If we lose the services of Gary Atkinson, our Chief Executive Officer, or Bernardo Melo, our Chief Revenue Officer, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis, and our business could be adversely affected. Messrs. Atkinson and Melo have worked at our company for 15 and 20 years, respectively, and are primarily responsible for all our day-to-day operations. Our existing operations and continued future development depend to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of these individuals. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Atkinson and Melo, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in retaining the services of these individuals. If we were to lose any of these individuals, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Development, Manufacturing, and Shipping of Our Products

If we are unable to develop new karaoke products, our revenues may not continue to grow.

The karaoke industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and ongoing customer demands for greater performance. In addition, the average selling price of any karaoke machine has historically decreased over its life, and we expect that trend to continue. As a result, our products may not be competitive if we fail to introduce new products or product enhancements that meet evolving customer demands. The development of new products is complex, and we may not be able to complete development in a timely manner. To introduce products on a timely basis, we must:

	●	accurately define and design new products to meet market demand;
	●	design features that continue to differentiate our products from those of our competitors;
	●	transition our products to new manufacturing process technologies;
	●	identify emerging technological trends in our target markets;
	●	anticipate changes in end-user preferences with respect to our customers’ products;
	●	bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices; and
	●	respond effectively to technological changes or product announcements by others.

We believe that we will need to continue to enhance our karaoke machines and develop new machines to keep pace with competitive and technological developments and to achieve market acceptance for our products. At the same time, we need to identify and develop other products which may be different from karaoke machines.

Our products are shipped from China and any disruptions of shipping could prevent of delay our customer’ receipt of inventory.

We rely principally on a limited number of contract ocean carriers to ship substantially all of our karaoke products that we import to our outsourced warehouse facility in Chino, California. Retailers that take delivery of our products in China rely on a variety of carriers to import those products. Any disruptions in shipping, whether in California or China, caused by labor strikes, other labor disputes, terrorism, and international incidents may prevent or delay our customers’ receipt of inventory. If our customers do not receive their inventory on a timely basis, they may cancel their orders or return products to us. Consequently, our revenues and net income would be reduced, and our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our manufacturing operations are located in the People’s Republic of China, subjecting us to risks common in international operations. if there is any problem with the manufacturing process, our revenues and net profitability may be reduced.

We currently use several contract manufacturers in China to manufacture all our karaoke products. Our arrangements with these contract manufacturers are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, such as import duties, trade restrictions, work stoppages, and foreign currency fluctuations, limitations on the repatriation of earnings and political instability, which could have an adverse impact on our margins. Furthermore, we have limited control over the manufacturing processes. As a result, any difficulties encountered by our third-party manufacturers that result in product defects, production delays, cost overruns or the inability to fulfill orders on a timely basis could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and cash flow. Also, since we do not have written agreements with any of these contract manufacturers, we are subject to additional uncertainty if the contract manufacturers do not deliver products to us on a timely basis.

We depend on third party suppliers for parts for our karaoke machines and related products, and if we cannot obtain supplies as needed, our operations will be severely damaged.

Our growth and ability to meet customer demand depends in part on our capability to obtain timely deliveries of karaoke machines and our electronic products. We rely on third party suppliers to produce the parts and materials that are used to manufacture and produce these products. If our suppliers are unable to provide our factories with the parts and supplies, they we will be unable to produce our products. There has been recent worldwide volatility in the supply of electronic chips due to the increased demand for semiconductors and we are currently competing with large companies to obtain these parts and could see production and shipment delays. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to purchase the parts we need at reasonable prices or in a timely fashion. If we are unable to anticipate any shortages of parts and materials in the future, we may experience severe production problems and delivery delays, which would impact our sales.

We depend on the ability of our suppliers to manufacture our products without infringing, misappropriating of otherwise violating the intellectual property of proprietary rights of others in manufacturing our products.

We source our products from a variety of contract manufacturers. We buy finished goods from our suppliers and generally do not source raw materials and parts for manufacturing and assembly into the final product. We rely on our contract manufacturers’ ability to secure injected plastic, wood cabinets, integrated circuits, display panels, speaker drivers, and other components that are necessary for assembly into our final products. While we are not responsible for sourcing raw materials, we rely on these suppliers to have all required licenses or proprietary rights to the materials that are incorporated into the final product. In addition, we rely on the representations of our contract manufacturers that they are using materials and components that meet all necessary legal, safety, and compliance requirements. If our suppliers do not have the proper licenses or rights or are not in compliance with all regulatory requirements, we may be named a party or be subject to claims, including claims of infringement or violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties with respect to our products.

Risks Related To Our Karaoke Business And Industry

Changes in government regulations relating to international tariffs could significantly reduce our revenues, product cost and profitability.

U.S. government administration and members of the U.S. Congress have made public statements indicating possible significant changes in U.S. trade policy and have taken certain actions that may impact U.S. trade, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Any changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, resulting in “trade wars,” and increased costs for goods imported into the United States. All of our products are manufactured and imported from China. However, only our microphone products are currently subject to 7.5% tariffs currently in place. Should the government decide to expand its list of products to include our karaoke products that would subject our products to tariffs in the future, there could be a significant increase in the landed cost of our products. If we are unable to mitigate these increased costs through price increases, we could experience reductions in revenues, gross profit margin and results from operations.

A small number of our customers account for a substantial portion of our revenues, and the loss of one or more of these key customers could significantly reduce our revenues and cash flow.

We rely on a few large customers to provide a substantial portion of our revenues. Sales to our top three customers together comprised approximately 81%, 69% and 72% of our net sales for our nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. In our transition period ended December 31, 2023, revenues from three of these customers represented 48%, 21% and 12% of total net sales. In our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, revenues from two of these customers represented greater than 10% of net sales, at 48% and 21% of total net sales. We do not have long-term contractual arrangements with any of our customers and they can cancel their orders at any time prior to delivery. A substantial reduction in or termination of orders from any of our largest customers would decrease our revenues and cash flow.

We are subject to the risk that some of our large customers may return karaoke products that they have purchased from us and if this happens, it would reduce our revenues and profitability. The Company receives significant returns from many of our customers and may be subject to future returns.

The return of products is due to a variety of reasons including defective units, customers’ overstock and buyer’s remorse. Our factories charge customary repair and freight costs, which increase our expenses and reduce profitability. If any of our customers were to increase the volume of their returned karaoke products to us, it would reduce our revenues and profitability.

We are subject to pressure from our customers relating to price reduction and financial incentives and if we are pressured to make these concessions to our customers, it will reduce our revenues and profitability.

Because there is intense competition in the karaoke industry, we are subject to pricing pressure from our customers. Many of our customers have demanded that we lower our prices to remain competitive with other sellers in the karaoke product market. If we do not meet our customers’ demands to lower our regular prices, we will not sell as many karaoke products. We are also subject to pressure from our customers regarding certain financial incentives, such as return credits or large cooperative (“co-op”) promotion incentives, which effectively reduce our net sales and profit. We gave co-op promotion incentives of approximately $2,600,000 and $2,300,000 for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, respectively. We have historically offered co-op promotion incentives to our customers because it is standard practice in the retail industry.

We experience difficulty forecasting the demand for our karaoke products and if we do not accurately forecast demand, our revenues, net income and cash flow may be affected.

Because of our reliance on manufacturers in China for our machine production, our production lead times range from one to four months. Therefore, we must commit to production in advance of customers’ orders. It is difficult to forecast customer demand because we do not have any scientific or quantitative method to predict this demand. Our forecasting is based on management’s general expectations about customer demand, the general strength of the retail market and management’s historical experiences. In past years we have overestimated demand for our products, which led to excess inventory in some of our products and caused liquidity problems that adversely affected our revenues, net income and cash flow.

We are subject to the costs and risks of carrying inventory for our customers and if we have too much inventory, it will affect our cash flow for operations.

Many of our customers place orders with us several months prior to the holiday season, but they schedule delivery two or three weeks before the holiday season begins. As such, we are subject to the risks and costs of carrying inventory during the time period between the placement of the order and the delivery date, which reduces our cash flow. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, we had approximately $6,872,000 in inventory as compared to approximately $9,085,000 in inventory as of March 31, 2023. If we are unable to sell excess inventory in the future at historical or greater margins, our cash flow for operations will be negatively impacted.

We are subject to insurance risk of loss for goods damaged while in transit from the manufacturer to the customer and our warehouse.

All of our goods are manufactured in China and are transported to customers and our warehouse in California via ocean vessel. As such, we are subject to damage that may occur to these goods when they are in transit to customers or our warehouse. Should substantial damage incur while goods are in transit, we could experience a significant loss of revenue, inventory and incur significant out of pocket expenses associated with destruction of the damaged goods, which could cause a significant loss from operations and reduction in cash flow. While we have taken significant measures to prevent damage incidents there can be no guarantee of damage incidents occurring in the future. We have obtained insurance coverage for goods that are shipped direct import to our customers whose shipping terms are FOB shipping point and for goods in transit to our California warehouse however, certain exclusions have been added that may prevent insurance coverage of certain damaged incidents in the future.

Our business is seasonal and therefore our annual operating results will depend, in large part, on our sales during the relatively brief holiday season.

Sales of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial majority of our sales occur during our fiscal quarter ending September 30 and our fiscal quarter ending December 31. Sales in these two quarters, combined, accounted for approximately 91% and 62% of net sales in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Consumer discretionary spending may affect karaoke purchases and is affected by various economic conditions and changes.

Purchases of karaoke machines and music are considered discretionary for consumers. Our success will therefore be influenced by a number of economic factors affecting discretionary and consumer spending, such as employment levels, business, interest rates, and taxation rates, all of which are not under our control. Additionally, other extraordinary events such as terrorist attacks or military engagements, which adversely affect the retail environment may restrict consumer spending and thereby adversely affect our sales growth and profitability.

We do not have our own warehouse or distribution facilities but rely on a third-party logistics provider responsible for warehousing and fulfilling our orders. If our third-party provider experiences disruptions to the operation of its distribution centers, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The lease to our warehouse located in Ontario, California expired on August 31, 2023. We did not renew the lease and instead signed a service agreement with a third-party logistics company to provide domestic and Canadian warehousing services effective September 1, 2023. We rely on a logistics company for warehousing and fulfillment of our orders. All of our merchandise is shipped from our suppliers to one of our provider’s distribution facilities and then packaged and shipped from our distribution facilities to our customers. The success of our business depends on our timely receipt of merchandise so we can continuously bring new, on-trend products online for sale. The success of our business also depends on customer orders being timely processed and delivered to meet promised delivery dates and satisfy our customers. The efficient flow of our merchandise requires that we have adequate capacity and uninterrupted service in our distribution facilities to support both our current level of operations. Upgrading our existing arrangement or transferring our operations to another third-party provider, if necessary, will require us to incur additional costs, which could be significant, and may require us to obtain additional financing. Our failure to provide adequate order fulfillment, secure additional distribution capacity when necessary or retain a suitable third-party logistics provider could increase our costs, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, if our current provider encounters difficulties associated with its distribution facilities or if they were to shut down or be unable to operate for any reason, including because of fire, natural disaster, power outage or other event, we could face inventory shortages, resulting in “out-of-stock” conditions on our website, and delays in shipments, resulting in significantly higher costs and longer lead times distributing our merchandise.

Our production costs may increase if we are required to make purchases using the Chinese Yuan instead of the U.S. dollar.

All our consumer electronic products are currently manufactured in China. During the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, the Chinese local currency had no material effect on us as all of our purchases are denominated in U.S. currency. However, in the event our purchases are required to be made in Chinese local currency, the Yuan, we will be subject to the risks involved in foreign exchange rates. In the future the value of the Yuan may depend largely on the Chinese government’s policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments. As a result, our production costs may increase if we are required to make purchases using the Yuan instead of the U.S. dollar and the value of the Yuan increases over time. Any significant increase in the cost of manufacturing our products would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We sell our product to Canadian customers some of whom require us to invoice them in Canadian Dollars. We are subject to risks involved in the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar. However, the exchange rate has been stable during our nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and the associated exchange rates did not have a material impact on our financial results. Should the exchange rate between the Canadian and US Dollar become more volatile and sales to Canadian customers increase, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.

Our profit margin may be decreased due to increased prices of raw materials, shipping costs and costs associated with production.

Fluctuation in the price of oil, electronic chip components and shipping costs have and will continue to affect us in connection with the sourcing and delivery of raw materials and services. These issues are common to all companies in the same type of business and if we are not able to negotiate lower costs, reduce other expenses, or pass on some or all of these price increases to our customers, our profit margin may be decreased.

If we are unable to compete in the karaoke products category, our revenues and net profitability will be reduced.

Our major competitors for karaoke machines and related products are Singsation®, Singtrix®, eKids®, Bonaok, Karaoke USA™, Ion® Audio, licensed property karaoke products and other consumer electronics companies. We believe that competition for karaoke machines is based primarily on price, product features, reputation, delivery times, and customer support. To the extent that we lower prices to attempt to enhance or retain market share, we may adversely impact our operating margins. Conversely, if we opt not to match competitor’s price reductions we may lose market share, resulting in decreased volume and revenue. To the extent our leading competitors reduce prices on their karaoke machines, we must remain flexible to reduce our prices. If we are forced to reduce our prices, it will result in lower margins and reduced profitability. Because of intense competition in the karaoke industry in the United States during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, we expect that the intense pricing pressure in the low end of the market will continue in the karaoke market in the United States in our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. In addition, we must compete with all the other existing forms of entertainment including, but not limited to: motion pictures, video arcade games, home video games, theme parks, nightclubs, television, prerecorded tapes, CD’s, and DVD’s and streaming video.

Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial and other resources than we do.

Our products compete and will compete with similar if not identical products produced by our competitors. These competitive products could be marketed by well-established, successful companies that possess greater financial, marketing, distribution personnel, and other resources than we do. Using said resources, these companies can implement extensive advertising and promotional campaigns, both generally and in response to specific marketing efforts by competitors. They can introduce new products to new markets more rapidly. In certain instances, competitors with greater financial resources may be able to enter a market in direct competition with us, offering attractive marketing tools to encourage the sale of products that compete with our products or present cost features that consumers may find attractive.

If we ship products that contain defects, the market acceptance of our products and our reputation will be harmed and our customers could seek to recover their damages from us.

Our products are complex, and despite extensive testing, may contain defects or undetected errors or failures that may become apparent only after our products have been shipped to our customers or after product features or new versions are released. Any such defect, error or failure could result in failure of market acceptance of our products or damage to our reputation or relations with our customers, resulting in substantial costs for us and our customers as well as the cancellation of orders, warranty costs and product returns. In addition, any defects, errors, misuse of our products or other potential problems within or out of our control that may arise from the use of our products could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Our customers could seek to have us pay for these losses. Although we maintain product liability insurance, it may not be adequate.

Risks Related to our Logistics Business

The transportation industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recessions, downturns in business cycles of SemiCab’s customers, interest rate fluctuations, currency fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond SemiCab’s control.

● Decrease in freight volumes: A reduction in overall freight volumes in the marketplace may reduce opportunities for growth. The market may be impacted by supply chain disruptions or overall economic conditions. In addition, if a downturn in SemiCab’s customers’ business cycles causes a reduction in the volumes of freight shipped by those customers, SemiCab’s operating results could be adversely affected. During 2022 and 2023, SemiCab experienced a decline in volumes as shippers struggled with elevated inventory levels and consumer demand was negatively impacted by inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty. These volume declines have also driven declining freight rates.

● Credit risk and working capital: Some of SemiCab’s customers may face economic difficulties and may not be able to pay for services rendered by SemiCab, and some may go out of business. In addition, some customers may take longer to pay or become unable to pay, which may cause working capital needs to increase.

● Transportation provider failures: A significant number of SemiCab’s contracted transportation providers may go out of business, which would result in SemiCab being unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services to meet its commitments to its customers.

● Expense management: SemiCab may not be able to appropriately adjust its expenses to changing market demands. In periods of rapid change, it may be difficult to match its staffing levels to its business needs. Higher carrier prices may result in decreased adjusted gross profit margin and increases in working capital. Carriers can be expected to charge higher prices if market conditions warrant or to cover higher operating expenses. SemiCab’s adjusted gross profits and income from operations may decrease if SemiCab is unable to increase its pricing to its customers. Increased demand for over the road transportation services and changes in regulations may reduce available capacity and increase motor carrier pricing. In the event market conditions change and its contracted rates are below market rates, SemiCab may be required to provide transportation services at a loss. As its volumes increase or SemiCab increases freight rates charged to its customers, the resulting increase in revenues may increase its working capital needs due to its business model, which generally has a higher length of days sales outstanding than days payables outstanding. Changing fuel costs and interruptions of fuel supplies may have an impact on its adjusted gross profit margin. In its truckload transportation business, fluctuating fuel prices may result in a decreased adjusted gross profit margin. While its different pricing arrangements with customers and contracted motor carriers make it very difficult to measure the precise impact, SemiCab believes fuel costs essentially act as a pass-through cost to its truckload business.

SemiCab’s dependence on third parties to provide equipment and services may impact the delivery and quality of its transportation and logistics services. SemiCab depends on independent third parties to provide trucking services and to report certain events to them, including but not limited to, shipment status information and freight claims. These independent third parties may not fulfill their obligations to SemiCab, or SemiCab’s relationship with these parties may change, which may prevent SemiCab from meeting its commitments to its customers. SemiCab’s reliance on these third parties also could cause delays in reporting certain events, including recognizing claims. In addition, if SemiCab is unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services from third parties to meet its commitments to its customers, its operating results could be materially and adversely affected, and its customers could switch to its competitors temporarily or permanently.

Many of these risks are beyond SemiCab’s control, including:

	●	equipment and driver shortages in the transportation industry, particularly among contracted motor carriers;
	●	changes in regulations impacting transportation;
	●	disruption in the supply or cost of fuel;
	●	the introduction of alternative means of transporting freight; and
	●	unanticipated changes in freight markets.

SemiCab faces substantial industry competition.

Competition in the digital freight industry is intense and broad-based. SemiCab competes with traditional and non-traditional logistics companies, including transportation providers that own equipment, third-party freight brokers, technology matching services, internet freight brokers, carriers offering logistics services, and on-demand transportation service providers. In addition, customers can bring in-house some of the services SemiCab provides to them. Increased competition could reduce its market opportunity and create downward pressure on freight rates. Continued rate pressure may adversely affect SemiCab’s adjusted gross profits and income from operations. In the event market conditions change and SemiCab’s contracted rates are below market rates, it may be required to provide transportation services at a loss.

SemiCab earnings may be affected by seasonal changes or significant disruptions in the transportation industry. Results of operations for the industry generally show a seasonal pattern as customers reduce shipments during and after the winter holiday season. SemiCab believes this historical pattern has been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors, including national holidays, weather patterns, consumer demand, economic conditions, and other similar and subtle forces. Although seasonal changes in the transportation industry have not had a significant impact on its cash flow or results of operations, SemiCab expects this trend to continue, and it cannot guarantee it will not adversely impact SemiCab in the future. The transportation industry may also be significantly impacted by disruptions such as the availability of transportation equipment, as well as factors such as labor shortages, fuel prices, shifts in consumer demand toward more locally sourced products, and regulatory changes. These disruptions may impact the growth rates within the global logistics industry and SemiCab’s ability to provide transportation services for its customers, each of which may adversely impact its results of operations and operating cash flows.

SemiCab relies on technology to operate its business.

SemiCab has internally developed the majority of its operating systems and also relies on technology provided by third parties. Its continued success is dependent on its systems continuing to operate and to meet the changing needs of its customers and users. The continued automation of existing processes and usage of third-party technology and cloud network capacity will require adaptation and adjustments that may increase its exposure to cybersecurity risks and system availability reliance. SemiCab relies on its technology staff and third-party vendors to successfully implement changes to, and to maintain, its operating systems in an efficient manner. If SemiCab fails to maintain, protect, and enhance its operating systems, it may be at a competitive disadvantage and lose customers.

As demonstrated by recent material and high-profile data security breaches, computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, and may occur on SemiCab’s and operating systems. SemiCab cannot guarantee future attacks will have little to no impact on its business. Furthermore, given the interconnected nature of the supply chain and its significant presence in the industry, it may be an attractive target for such attacks. The insurance coverage held by SemiCab’s currently have in place may not apply to a particular loss or it may not be sufficient to cover all liabilities to which we may be subject. A loss for which SemiCab is not adequately insured could materially affect its financial results.

Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, a significant impact on the performance, reliability, security, and availability of SemiCab’s operating systems and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of its users may harm its reputation, impair its ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, and expose it to legal claims and government action, each of which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

SemiCab’s international operations subject it to operational, financial, and data privacy risks.

SemiCab provides services within foreign countries on an increasing basis. Its business outside of the U.S. is subject to various risks, including:

	●	difficulties in managing or overseeing foreign operations and agents;
	●	limitations on the repatriation of funds because of foreign exchange controls;
	●	foreign currency fluctuations;
	●	different liability standards;
	●	intellectual property laws of countries that do not protect its intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, its proprietary information systems, to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.;
	●	issues related to non-compliance with laws, rules, and regulations in the countries in which it operates including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar regulations. Failure to comply could result in reputational harm, substantial penalties, and operational restrictions; and
	●	global laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, processing, and transfer of personal information may impact its services by imposing restrictions on processing, increase legal claim liability, and increase regulatory scrutiny and fines. These requirements continue to evolve and vary by region and regime, which increases the risk of noncompliance and impacts operations, including additional expenses and resources necessary to manage compliant operations.

The occurrence or consequences of any of these factors may restrict its ability to operate in the affected region and/or decrease the profitability of its operations in that region.

Foreign currency fluctuations could result in currency exchange gains or losses or could affect the book value of its assets and liabilities. Furthermore, SemiCab may experience unanticipated changes to its income tax liabilities resulting from changes in geographical income mix and changing international tax legislation. If SemiCab does not correctly anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions, it may not be able to alter its business practices in time to avoid adverse effects.

SemiCab’s ability to appropriately staff and retain employees is important to its business model.

SemiCab’s continued success depends upon its ability to attract and retain motivated logistics and technology professionals. In periods of rapid change, it may be more difficult to match its staffing level to its business needs. SemiCab cannot guarantee it will be able to continue to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel. In addition, macroeconomic factors impacting the labor market may result in higher costs to hire and retain qualified personnel. Because of its highly experienced employee base, its employees are attractive targets for new and existing competitors. Continued success depends in large part on its ability to develop successful employees into managers and architects.

SemiCab uses, and may continue to expand its use of, machine learning and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies to deliver its services and operate its business.

If SemiCab fails to successfully integrate AI into its platform and business processes, or if it fails to keep pace with rapidly evolving AI technological developments, including attracting and retaining talented AI developers and programmers and cybersecurity personnel, it may face a competitive disadvantage. At the same time, the use or offering of AI technologies may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities, including enhanced government or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, privacy and compliance issues, ethical concerns, confidentiality, reputational harm, and security risks. It is not possible to predict all of the risks related to the use of AI and changes in laws, rules, directives, and regulations governing the use of AI may adversely affect the ability to develop and use AI or subject SemiCab to legal liability. The cost of complying with laws and regulations governing AI could be significant and would increase operating expenses, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, market demand and acceptance of AI technologies are uncertain, there may be challenges to further incorporate AI into SemiCab’s processes.

SemiCab’s business is dependent on a small number of customers.

SemiCab derives a significant portion of its total revenues from a small number of customers. During 2023, SemiCab’s top 5 customers based on total revenue comprised approximately 99 percent of its consolidated total revenues. Its largest customer comprised approximately 37 percent of its consolidated total revenues. The sudden loss of major customers could materially and adversely affect its operating results.

SemiCab is subject to claims arising from its transportation operations.

SemiCab uses the services of thousands of third-party transportation companies in connection with its transportation operations. From time to time, the drivers employed and engaged by the motor carriers with which SemiCab contracts with are involved in accidents, which may result in serious personal injuries. The resulting types and/or amounts of damages may be excluded by or exceed the amount of insurance coverage maintained by the contracted motor carrier. SemiCab contractually requires all motor carriers it works with to carry at least $1,000,000 in automobile liability insurance. SemiCab also requires all contracted motor carriers to maintain workers compensation and other insurance coverage as required by law. Most contracted motor carriers have insurance exceeding these minimum requirements, as well as cargo insurance in varying policy amounts. Although these drivers are not employees of SemiCab and all of these drivers are employees, owner-operators, or independent contractors working for the contracted motor carriers, from time to time, claims may be asserted against SemiCab for its actions or for SemiCab’s actions in retaining them. Claims against SemiCab may exceed the amount of its insurance coverage or may not be covered by insurance at all. A material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, liability claims, workers’ compensation claims, or unfavorable resolutions of claims could materially and adversely affect its operating results. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs or the inability to purchase insurance as a result of these claims could reduce its profitability. SemiCab’s involvement in the transportation of certain goods, including but not limited to, hazardous materials, could also increase its exposure in the event one of its contracted motor carriers is involved in an accident resulting in injuries or contamination.

In its customer contracts, SemiCab may agree to assume cargo liability up to a stated maximum. Although SemiCab is not legally liable for loss or damage to its customers’ cargo, from time to time, claims may be asserted against SemiCab for cargo losses. SemiCab maintains a broad contingent cargo liability insurance policy to help protect it against catastrophic losses that may not be recovered from the responsible contracted carrier. SemiCab also carries various liability insurance policies, including automobile and general liability.

SemiCab’s business depends upon compliance with numerous government regulations.

SemiCab’s operations may be regulated and licensed by various federal, state, and local transportation agencies in the U.S. and similar governmental agencies in foreign countries in which its operates.

SemiCab is subject to licensing and regulation as a property freight broker and is licensed by the DOT to arrange for the transportation of property by motor vehicle. The DOT prescribes qualifications for acting in this capacity, including certain surety bonding requirements. SemiCab also has and maintains other licenses as required by law. SemiCab’s failure to maintain required permits or licenses, or to comply with applicable regulations, could result in substantial fines or revocation of its operating permits and licenses

Legislative or regulatory changes can affect the economics of the transportation industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the cost of providing, transportation services. SemiCab may experience an increase in operating costs, such as security costs, as a result of governmental regulations that have been or will be adopted in response to terrorist activities and potential terrorist activities. No assurances can be given that SemiCab will be able to pass these increased costs on to its customers in the form of rate increases or surcharges, and its operations and profitability may be materially and adversely affected as a result.

Risks Related To Our Intellectual Property

We primarily rely on trade secret protection and non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary information, which may not be effective.

We currently rely on trade secret protection and non-disclosure agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties to protect our confidential and proprietary information. If we do not protect our intellectual property and other confidential information adequately, competitors may be able to use our proprietary technologies and information and thereby erode any competitive advantages they provide us with.

We will be able to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent these rights are effectively maintained as confidential. We expect to rely primarily on trade secret and contractual protections for our confidential and proprietary information and we have taken security measures we believe are appropriate to protect this information. These measures, however, may not provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other confidential information. We seek to protect our proprietary information by, among other things, entering into confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and other third parties. These confidentiality agreements may not sufficiently safeguard our trade secrets and other confidential information and may not provide adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of this information. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret or other proprietary information could be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming and the outcome could be unpredictable. In addition, trade secrets or other confidential information could otherwise become known or be independently developed by others in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. If any of our trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information were disclosed or misappropriated or if any such information was independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be harmed, and our business could suffer.

We may be forced to litigate to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, or the intellectual property rights of our licensors.

We may be forced to litigate to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights against infringement and unauthorized use by competitors. In so doing, we may place our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated, held unenforceable, or narrowed in scope. Further, an adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings may place pending applications at risk of non-issuance. In addition, if any licensor fails to enforce or defend its intellectual property rights, this may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products that including licensing deals, as well as our ability to prevent competitors from making, using, and selling competing products. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business. The existence or outcome of any such litigation could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential and proprietary information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting, and defending intellectual property rights on our products throughout the world is prohibitively expensive. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained intellectual property rights to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have intellectual property rights, but where enforcement is not as strong as that in the U.S. These products may compete with our products in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued or licensed patents and our patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.

General Risk Factors

Our information technology systems or data, or those of our service providers or customers or users could be subject to cyber-attacks or other security incidents, which could result in data breaches, intellectual property theft, claims, litigation, regulatory investigations, significant liability, reputational damage and other adverse consequences.

The ever-evolving threat landscape makes data security and privacy a critical priority. Our technology team and third-party vendors have experience and expertise supporting mitigation of the potential cyber-attacks facing our organization and vulnerabilities facing our technology infrastructure and potential cyber-attacks. All employees have access to cybersecurity training.

We maintain processes for key risk identification, mitigation efforts, and day-to-day management of risks, including cybersecurity risks.

Although it is difficult to determine the potential impacts from a cyber-attack or other security incident, we may experience negative impacts such as reputational harm, inability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, exposure to legal claims and government action, among others. We cannot guarantee future attacks will have little to no impact on our business. In particular, given the interconnected nature of the supply chain and our significant presence in the industry, the Company’s subsidiary, SemiCab, believes it may be an attractive target for such attacks. The impact of a cyber-attack or other security incident may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, availability of our systems, and growth prospects, which makes cybersecurity risk management of critical importance.

We primarily rely on technology provided by third parties, with the exception of SemiCab that has internally developed the majority of its line of business applications. We have processes in place to oversee and identify risks from cyber-attack threats associated with the use of third-party technology including third-party risk management, and process and partner intake risk assessments. These processes help mitigate the risks associated with utilizing external technology platforms and help prevent disruptions.

While we have processes and programs in place to meet our global compliance obligations and work with our employees and teams across the globe to ensure security and data protection principles are integrated into the way we conduct our business, there can be no assurance that our operations may not be subject to successful breaches, employee malfeasance, or human or technological error which could result in, for example, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, or destruction of company, customer, or other third party data or systems; theft of sensitive, regulated, or confidential data including personal information and intellectual property; the loss of access to critical data or systems through ransomware, destructive attacks or other means; and business delays, service or system disruptions or denials of service.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in credit and capital markets.

Russia’s military interventions in Ukraine have led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the U.S., European Union and other countries against Russia. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets. In addition, the invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions imposed on Russia have resulted in increased volatility in the financial markets and the markets for certain commodities including oil, which may significantly impact the manufacturers that we rely on but is not expected to have any direct impact on us.

Additionally, the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the government of Hamas in Gaza has caused disruptions in shipping lanes in the Red Sea where some major cargo lines have opted to route their vessels away from the region which has increased the time required to reach their destinations as well as increased time for vessels to return to their port of origin with empty containers. Continued shipping line disruptions and delays may impact the availability and cost of shipping containers during peak shipping season.

While we have not experienced any direct impact from the conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East, the extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market and shipping lane disruptions are impossible to predict but could be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results as they impact the global economy in the future.

High inflation and unfavorable economic conditions could negatively affect our operations and results.

Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions may be triggered by numerous developments beyond our control, including inflation, geopolitical events, health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other events that trigger economic volatility on a global or regional basis. Those types of unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business and financial results. In particular, a significant deterioration in economic conditions, including economic slowdowns or recessions, increased unemployment levels, inflationary pressures or disruptions to credit and capital markets, could lead to decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending more generally, thus reducing consumer demand for our products. For example, in 2022 and 2023, the United States experienced a rapid increase in inflation levels of approximately 6.5% year-over year in 2022 and approximately 4.0% year-over-year in 2023. Such heightened inflationary levels may negatively impact consumer disposable income and discretionary spending and, in turn, reduce consumer demand for our products and increase our costs.

We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers, who are experiencing financial difficulties, and if these customers are unable to pay us, our revenues and profitability will be reduced.

We sell products to retailers, including national chains, warehouse clubs, department stores, lifestyle merchants, specialty stores, and direct mail catalogs and showrooms. Deterioration in the financial condition of our customers could result in bad debt expense to us and have a material adverse effect on our revenues and future profitability.

We may have trouble hiring additional qualified personnel.

As we expand our product development and marketing activities, we will need to hire additional personnel and could experience difficulties attracting and retaining qualified employees. Competition for qualified personnel could be intense due to the limited number of individuals who possess the skills and experience required by such an industry. We may not be able to afford, attract and retain quality personnel on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, to the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that such personnel have been improperly solicited or that they have divulged proprietary or other confidential information, or that their former employers own their product or service ideas. Any of these difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The failure of our information technology systems could significantly disrupt the operation of our business.

Like any other business, we rely on e-mail and other digital communications methods as part of our normal operations. As such, our internal computer systems and servers could fail or suffer security breaches, possibly resulting in a material disruption to our operations. The secure operation of our IT networks and systems as well as the secure processing and maintenance of information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Our ability to execute our business plan and to comply with regulatory requirements with respect to data control and data integrity depends, in part, on the continued and uninterrupted performance of our information technology systems, or IT systems. These systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and back-up measures, some of our servers are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems. Despite the precautionary measures we have taken to prevent unanticipated problems that could affect our IT systems, there are no assurances that electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems, and/or sustained or repeated system failures or problems arising during the upgrade of any of our IT systems that interrupt our ability to generate and maintain data will not occur. The occurrence of any of the foregoing with respect to our IT systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We are subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business.

We are subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Any such litigation could be very costly and could distract our management from focusing on operating our business. The existence of any such litigation could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Results of actual and potential litigation are inherently uncertain. An unfavorable result in a legal proceeding could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws, as well as export control laws, customs laws, sanctions laws and other laws governing our anticipated operations. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations are subject to certain anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other anti-corruption laws that apply in countries where we do business. The FCPA and other anti-corruption laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We and our commercial partners operate in several jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations and we participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under the FCPA or local anti-corruption laws. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope, or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

We are also subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered in the U.S. and in the EU, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions on countries and persons, customs requirements and currency exchange regulations (collectively, “Trade Control Laws”).

There can be no assurance that we are completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all applicable anticorruption laws, including the FCPA or other legal requirements, such as Trade Control Laws. Any investigation of potential violations of the FCPA, other anti-corruption laws or Trade Control Laws by the United States, the European Union or other authorities could have an adverse impact on our reputation, our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, should we be found not to be in compliance with the FCPA, other anti-corruption laws or Trade Control Laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, as well as the accompanying legal expenses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and liquidity, as well as on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our charter provides limitations of director liability and indemnification of directors and officers and employees.

Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:

	●	breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
	●	act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
	●	unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
	●	transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If our accounting controls and procedures are circumvented or otherwise fail to achieve their intended purposes, our business could be seriously harmed.

We evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and annually review and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with the Commission’s rules relating to internal control over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 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. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or our management does not timely assess the adequacy of such internal control, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions, and our reputation may decline.

We have performed 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 of the end of the most recent period covered by this report. Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which has caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at a reasonable assurance level.

We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts our ability review material account reconciliations and certain material journal entries related to financial reporting, including fair value estimates, in a timely manner. In addition, there is no three-way match or other established control over occurrence of revenue that is precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties including review of certain journal entries, reconciliations and three-way match of documents may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, review and reconciliation of transactions and calculations should be performed by separate individuals and a more precise process regarding the three way match of documents needs to be established.

We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, document matching and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be totally remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

We are a public company and subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. For example, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that our management report on the effectiveness of our internal controls structure and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 compliance may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time and effort to complete. If we fail to maintain compliance under Section 404, or if our internal control over financial reporting continues to not be effective as defined under Section 404, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Any failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, particularly if we become fully subject to Section 404 and its auditor attestation requirements, which will increase costs. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and to meeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

DILUTION

Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of their shares of common stock. Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value represents the difference between the public offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.

The historical net tangible book value (deficit) of our common stock as of September 30, 2024 was $(1,971,000) or $(0.20) per share. Historical net tangible book value per share of our common stock represents our total tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets) less total liabilities divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of that date.

After giving effect to the issuance of an aggregate of 4,462,421 shares of common stock from September 30, 2024 until the date of this prospectus, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been $(1,176,941) or approximately $(0.08) per share of our common stock.

After giving further effect to the sale of a total of 4,200,000 shares and 51,682,352 Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering at the public offering price of $0.17 per share and $0.16 per Pre-Funded Warrant, (assuming the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and no exercise of the Warrants issued in this offering), less placement agent fees and other expenses of $1,130,000 for net proceeds of $8,370,000, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been $7,193,059 or $0.10 per share of our common stock.

This represents an immediate increase in the pro forma net tangible book value per share of $0.19 to the existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share of $0.07 to new investors who purchase shares of common stock in the offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors:

Public offering price per share				$	0.17
Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024	$	(0.20	)
Increase per share attributable to the pro forma adjustments described above	$	0.12
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024	$	(0.08	)
Increase in in pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering	$	0.19
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024				$	0.10
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors				$	0.07

The above discussion and table are based on shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and excludes:

70,252 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $8.07 per share;

63,453 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan; and

902,113 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.20 per share.

After completion of this offering without giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants and assuming the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, our existing stockholders would own approximately 20% and our new investors would own approximately 75% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding after this offering.

To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities may result in further dilution to our stockholders.

The dilution information set forth in the table above is illustrative only and will be adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

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.

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.

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 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.

Our Product Portfolio

Our karaoke products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers and our transportation services are sold to shippers and brokers. Our portfolio of owned and licensed brands and products are organized into the following categories:

This product category accounted for less than 2% of our net sales in the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Microphones and Accessories- we currently offer a line of traditional microphone accessories that are compatible with our karaoke machines.

Transportation services: SemiCab sells transportation services to shippers such as retailers, manufacturers and brands. SemiCab primarily focuses on full truck load, over the road transportation services. SemiCab’s services are sold directly to shippers via bids for transportation services. These awards may be signed for selected number of routes for a pre-determined period of time, normally up to a year.

Platform subscriptions for transportation execution for brokers: SemiCab offers a SaaS based platform subscription to logistics brokers for managing their operations for transportation execution. The subscription primarily covers Shipper management, Carrier management, Document management, Load operations management, Invoicing, Integration services and Reporting and Analytics.

Platform subscriptions for transportation optimization for shippers: SemiCab offers a SaaS based platform subscription to shippers to better manage their freight network by creating optimal lane bundles for bidding and optimized execution of loads with better control over their data and analytics.

Product Development and Design

Product development is a key element of our strategic growth plan. We strive to deliver many new, exciting consumer products to market every single year to retain our presence as the market-leader in consumer karaoke products. Strategic product development is done in-house from our corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, FL where we identify new potential categories, features, and price points. Products are created in conjunction with contract product designers and inventors in collaboration with our contract manufacturers in China to deliver products that represent tremendous value to our customers. In addition to new products, we always look for ways to improve existing products to hit more affordable price points or improve features based upon market feedback.

SemiCab continuously expands and enhances its platform to provide better transportation services to its customers as well as to automate operational processes. The objective of these additions and enhancements is to build additional functionality and improve or automate existing functions. This allows SemiCab to be more efficient, lower the costs of operation, provide consistent and reliable services, and reduce potential human error in its processes targeting the transportation execution and billing.

SemiCab maintains a small, dedicated software development team in India to build, host, maintain and enhance its platform.

Suppliers and Manufacturing

We source our products from a variety of contract manufacturers in southern China. We are not dependent on any one supplier as we use multiple manufacturers to make our products. We maintain a Hong Kong office that provides us with factory management, sourcing, quality control, engineering, and product development. We buy finished goods from our suppliers and generally do not source raw materials for manufacturing, however in limited circumstances where we develop proprietary hardware and software, we will secure the proprietary circuits and provide them to our contract manufacturers for assembly into the final product. While we are not responsible for sourcing raw materials, we rely on our contract manufacturers’ ability to secure injected plastic, wood cabinets, integrated circuits, display panels, speaker drivers, and other components that are necessary for assembly into our final products.

Our goods are produced by our contract manufacturers and are either shipped via ocean vessels to our distribution center in Ontario, California or we utilize a direct import program where our retail customers coordinate to pick up the goods FOB China. The direct import program allows our customers to take advantage of better ocean container rates through bigger volume and allows us to bypass our California warehouse. We maintain a third-party logistics warehouse in Canada where we sell directly to retail customers and independent channels in Canada. Historically, most of our customers pick up goods from our warehouse (freight collect).

On August 31, 2023, the lease at our Ontario, California warehouse facility expired and was not renewed. Instead, we outsourced this business function by entering into a service agreement with a third-party logistics company to provide domestic and Canadian warehousing services, effective September 1, 2023.

Sales and Marketing

Our products are marketed and sold through our direct sales team, working in conjunction with independent sales representatives that provide sales and customer support for our retail customers in North America. Sales are recognized upon transfer of title to our customers and are made utilizing standard credit terms of approximately 60-90 days. Our sales terms indicate that we only accept returns for defective merchandise, however we have accepted overstock returns from our retail partners in the past.

We seek to expand our direct-to-consumer sales, which we believe will increase overall gross margins and increase brand awareness.

Marketing, promotion, and consumer engagement are key elements in the youth electronics, toy, and music categories. Historically, a significant percentage of our promotional spending has been structured as co-op promotion incentives with our large retail partners. We continue to focus our marketing efforts on growing brand awareness among our target consumer demographic, optimizing marketing investments, and executing an integrated marketing strategy. We believe an important component of our future growth is based on speaking to the right customer, with the right content, in the right channel, at the right time. We have implemented online marketing, social media, and digital analytics tools, which allow us to better measure the performance of our marketing activities, learn from our consumers, and receive valuable insights into industry and competitor activities.

Customer service is a critical component of our marketing strategy in the consumer electronics space. We maintain a U.S.-based internal customer service department within our corporate headquarters that responds to customer inquiries, investigates, and resolves issues, and is available to assist customers and consumers during business hours.

SemiCab’s services are sold through its direct sales team primarily working with shippers, participating in transportation bids and onboarding shippers and customers to start operations. While the transportation services contracts are signed for longer durations, generally up to a year, the actual sales are recognized only after the loads from shippers are executed and delivered by us.

Our platform subscriptions may be sold through resellers, where sales are recognized on a rolling monthly basis aligned with the SaaS revenue models.

SemiCab uses limited marketing and promotions at this time, primarily focused on creating name recognition and visibility through appropriate social media channels, blogs, and press releases to share industry awards, customer acquisition news and so on.

Competition

The youth electronics, toy, and music industries have many participants, none of which have a dominant market share, though certain companies may have disproportionate strength in specific product categories. We compete with a number of different companies in a variety of categories, although there is no single company that competes with us across all of our product categories. Our largest direct competitors are Singsation^®, Singtrix^®, eKids^®, Bonaok, Karaoke USA^™, and Ion^® Audio.

The primary methods of competition in the industry consist of brand positioning, product innovation, quality, price, and timely distribution. Our competitive strengths include our ability to develop innovative new products and features, speed to market, our relationships with major retailers, and the quality and pricing of our products.

SemiCab operates in a competitive environment. SemiCab competes with traditional and non-traditional logistics companies, including transportation providers that own equipment, third-party freight brokers, technology matching services, internet freight brokers, carriers offering logistics services, and on-demand transportation service providers.

SemiCab wins business based on providing reliable services at lower costs and creating an industry-wide network that can operate more efficiently with less empty miles than the industry norm, thus creating a more sustainable transportation network for the entire industry.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of word and design mark trademarks and trade secrets to protect our intellectual property. In certain circumstances, we will partner with third parties to develop proprietary products, and, where appropriate, we have license agreements related to the use of third-party innovation in our products. The duration of our trademark registrations varies from country to country. However, trademarks are generally valid and may be renewed indefinitely as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained.

Customers

We operate across geographically diverse marketplaces, selling our consumer electronics products globally to large, national retailers as well as independent retailers, on our retailer’s websites, and our own direct to consumer website. In North America, our customers include Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target and Wal-Mart. Our largest international territories are the U.K. and Australia, where we sell through international distributors. We also sell to select international retail customers in geographic locations where we do not have a direct sales presence.

SemiCab operates in the logistics industry providing contract-based, long-haul, FTL transportation services to any shipper that may require such services on an ongoing basis. We currently operate in the USA and India. In the USA, our customers include the likes of Staples and Pepsi and in India our customers include multi-national companies such as Procter & Gamble, Mondelez, Kellanova, Reckitt Benckiser and Kimberly-Clarke and Indian multi-nationals such as Asian Paints, Godrej and Apollo Tyres. Our platform subscriptions may be sold via resellers.

SemiCab maintains teams in the US, Philippines and India to provide the transportation services to its customers in the US and India.

Sales to our top five customers in the consumer electronics division together comprised approximately 97% and 91% of our net sales for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. In the nine months ended December 31, 2023, revenues from three of these customers represented greater than 10% of net sales, at 48%, 12% and 21% of total net sales. In our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, revenues from two of these customers represented greater than 10% of net sales, at 46% and 22% of total net sales.

We have no long-term contracts with these customers, and as a result, our success depends heavily on our customers’ willingness to purchase and provide floor or shelf space for our products.

Seasonality

We do experience heightened seasonal demand for our consumer electronic products, typically beginning in late July, and extending into early November of each calendar year, which is accounted for in our quarters ended September 30 and December 31. In our nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, approximately 91% and 62%, respectively, of our net sales shipped in our quarters ended September 30 and December 31. However, we continually look for products and new categories to reduce our exposure to seasonality variances.

Transportation demand is seasonal by nature. In the US, freight demand typically increases before the holidays and reduces after the holiday season is over. The agricultural produce seasons may also affect the freight markets. In India, agricultural and festival seasons drive the market seasons for freight.

In addition to the seasonality, the transportation industry is cyclic and goes through regular boom and bust cycles as the capacity builds up when the demand and prices are high and smaller operators go out of business as the supplies build up and depress prices.

Regulatory Matters

Each of our products is designed to comply with all applicable mandatory and voluntary safety standards. In the United States, these safety standards are promulgated by federal, state and independent agencies such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, ASTM International, the Federal Communications Commission, and various states Attorney Generals and state regulatory agencies. All of our products are independently tested by third party laboratories accepted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to verify compliance to applicable safety standards. A similar approach is used to design and test products sold internationally.

The transportation industry in the US is regulated by the government, one of the key federal agencies being the Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT mandates licensing, insurance and service requirements on the operators in this industry.

Human Capital Resources

As of October 28, 2024, we had 23 employees, with 17 located at our corporate office, and 6 in our office in Hong Kong. Of our employees, 1 was engaged in engineering and product development, 3 in sales and marketing, 8 in customer support or general operations and 11 in general administration and finance. All but 2 of these employees are employed on a full-time basis. As of October 28, 2024, approximately 61% of our current workforce is female, 39% male, and our average tenure is 5.24 years. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit or is a party to a collective bargaining agreement.

As of October 28, 2024, SemiCab had 25 employees, with 4 employees in the US and 21 in India.

Properties

We entered into an operating lease agreement, effective October 1, 2017, for our corporate headquarters located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where we lease approximately 6,500 square feet of office space. The lease was amended on February 22, 2024 to extend the lease term for an additional 14-months. The lease expires on May 31, 2025. The base rent payment is approximately $10,554 per month, subject to annual adjustments.

We entered into an operating lease agreement, effective October 15, 2022, for our administrative office located in Hong Kong where we lease approximately 1,890 square feet of office space. The lease expires on October 14, 2025. The base rent payment is approximately $4,900 per month for the entire term of the lease.

We believe that our facilities are well maintained, in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and adequately covered by insurance. We also believe that these leased facilities are not unique and could be replaced, if necessary, at the end of the term of the existing leases.

Director Independence

Our Board is composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

●

the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;

●

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

●

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);

●

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

●

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Harvey Judkowitz, Joseph Kling, Mathieu Peloquin and Jay B. Foreman are independent directors of the Company.

Employment Agreements

Effective April 22, 2022, we entered into employment agreements with each of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Revenue Officer (the “Employment Agreements”). Effective December 28, 2022, we entered into an employment agreement with our former Chief Financial Officer that expired on December 31, 2023.

The employment agreements for Messrs. Atkinson and Melo are for a term of three years with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms, unless either party provides notice of its intention not to extend. Mr. Marquis’s employment agreement terminated on the close of business on December 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, as compensation for their service as executives of the Company, the executives will receive: (1) a base salary per annum (the “Base Salary”), set forth below and commensurate benefits, as described in the Employment Agreement; (2) eligibility, subject to their continued employment with the Company, to earn an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”); (3) eligibility, also subject to their continued employment with the Company, to participate in the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, subject to the terms of such plan; and (4) entitlement, also subject to the executives’ continued employment with the Company, to reimbursement for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, entertainment, and travel expenses incurred by them in connection with the performance of their duties for the Company and the Company’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.

The executives’ base salaries are as follows:

	●	Gary Atkinson: $215,000, with an automatic increase to $225,000 on the first anniversary of the Employment Agreement.

	●	Lionel Marquis: $210,000, retired on December 31, 2023. On January 1, 2024, Richard Perez assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer, with an at will employment arrangement, and a base salary of $160,000.

	●	Bernardo Melo: $215,000 with an automatic increase to $225,000 on the first anniversary of the Employment Agreement.

In addition to the payment of accrued amounts due to the executives, the Employment Agreements for Messrs. Atkinson and Melo each provide for the payment of severance to the Executives in a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, in the event of the termination of the Agreement by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or upon the Company’s election not to renew the Employment Agreement or by the executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement). The Employment Agreements provide for payments to the executive of certain amounts in the event of the executive’s death or disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

In the event Messrs. Atkinson’s or Melo’s employment is terminated by the executive for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) on account of its failure to renew the Employment Agreement or without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement”) within twelve months of a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the base salary and annual bonus for the year in which the termination takes place.

Payment of severance under the Employment Agreement is conditioned upon Messrs. Atkinson’s and Melo’s execution of a release in favor of the Company.

The Employment Agreements superseded the change of control agreements previously entered into by the Company in January 2014 with each of its three executive officers.

Pursuant to the change of control agreement (“CIC Agreement”) entered into by the Company in January 2014 and subsequent to the change in control of the Company that occurred in August 2022, Mr. Marquis’ employment agreement included acknowledgement by the Company that he was entitled to receive bonus cash compensation of $400,000. This bonus was paid in accordance with the section in his Employment Agreement pertaining to the Change in Control Compensation even if terminated by the Company for any reason. Payments were made as follows:

(a) $200,000 on December 31, 2022;

(b) $100,000 on April 30, 2023; and

Executive Bonus Plan

On April 22, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) for our executive officers.

The Bonus Plan offers a cash bonus, stock options, and stock grants to the executives based on the Company’s EBITDA at its fiscal year end. The value of the cash bonus and number of stock options and grants increases based on the Company’s percentage of net sales. The Bonus Plan also provides for a one-time option grant to the executives upon the successful listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC.

Equity Incentive Plan

On April 12, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved The Singing Machine Company, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, (the”2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards collectively, the “Awards.” Awards may be granted under the 2022 Plan to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors, and independent contractors.

The maximum number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance under the 2022 Plan was 233,333 shares of common stock and thereafter an annual increase shall be added as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year beginning in 2023, equal to the least of (i) 5% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 33,334 shares, and (iii) a lesser amount as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the 2022 Plan that lapse, terminate, expire prior to exercise, are canceled or are forfeited, shall again become available for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

The 2022 Plan authorized an aggregate of 300,001 shares of the Company’s common stock available to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

We make a matching contribution of 100% of salary deferral contributions up to 3% of pay, plus 50% of salary deferral contributions from 3% to 5% of pay for each payroll period. The amounts charged to earnings for contributions to this plan and administrative costs during the nine month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and year ended 2022 totaled approximately $46,000 and $58,000, respectively. The amounts charged to earnings for contributions to this plan and administrative costs during the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled approximately $74,000 and $70,000, respectively.

The maximum number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 233,333 shares of common stock and thereafter an annual increase shall be added as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year beginning in 2023, equal to the least of (i) 5% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 333,334 shares, and (iii) a lesser amount as determined by the Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Other than as set forth below and compensation arrangements, including employment, and indemnification arrangements, discussed, there have been no transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets as at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and to which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Financing

On November 20, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Stingray Group, Inc. and Regalia Ventures, LLC pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 2,197,802 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.91 per share, representing a 3% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 17, 2023, for gross proceeds of $2,000,000. One of the Purchasers, Regalia Ventures LLC, is an entity wholly owned by Jay Foreman, one of the Company’s directors. Mathieu Peloquin, one of the Company’s directors is an officer of the other Purchaser, Stingray Group, Inc. Stingray is a shareholder of the Company and an entity with which the Company has a music subscription sharing agreement with.

Due To/From Related Parties

The Company has a music subscription sharing agreement with Stingray. For the transition year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company received music subscription revenue of approximately $600,000 and $500,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the amounts earned from the subscription agreement were approximately $218,000 and $156,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the amounts earned from the subscription agreement were approximately $567,000 and $550,000, respectively. These amounts were included as a component of net sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. On September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $269,000 due to Stingray.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We believe that the terms of all of the above transactions are commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Our audit committee is charged with the responsibility to review, approve and oversee any transaction between the Company and any related party and to develop policies and procedures for the Committee’s approval of related party transactions. While we do not maintain a written policy with respect to related party transactions, our audit committee and board of directors routinely reviews potential transactions with those parties we have identified as related parties prior to the consummation of the transaction. Each transaction is reviewed to determine that a related party transaction is entered into by us with the related party pursuant to normal competitive negotiation and on terms no more favorable than with an unrelated third party. We also generally require, unless permitted by law, that all related parties recuse themselves from negotiating and voting on behalf of the Company in connection with related party transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of our securities is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms and provisions of the capital stock contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share.

As of November 20, 2024, there were 14,215,176 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 37 holders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”) authorize us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all voting matters we present for a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any stock or other securities, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to our common stock. All shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available when, and if, declared by our Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder action.

In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, all shares of our common stock are entitled to share equally in our assets available for distribution to stockholders. However, the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of preferred stock that have been issued or shares of preferred stock that our Board of Directors may decide to issue in the future.

Securities Other than Common Stock Offered in this Offering

Warrants

The Warrants will be issued in the respective forms filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the following summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the filed exhibits. You should review a copy of each form of Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Warrants.

The following is a brief summary of the Warrants and is still subject in all respect to the provisions contained in the form of each applicable Warrant.

Duration and Exercise Price

The Series A Warrants offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.17, and the Series B Warrants will have an initial exercise price of $0.34. The exercise price of the Warrants were determined based on negotiations with the placement agent and the investors in this offering. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

The Warrants will be issued separately from the common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants included in this offering. Each share of our common stock or Pre-Funded Warrant purchased in this offering will include a Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant, each to purchase one share of our common stock. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.

Exercisability

The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are not exercisable until the Initial Exercise Date. The Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date and the Series B Warrants will expire on the two and one-half year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.

Each Warrant will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price in immediately available funds for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

Cashless Exercise and Alternative Cashless Exercise

If at the time a holder exercises its Warrant, a registration statement registering the issuance of common stock underlying the Warrant under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

In the case of the Series B Warrants, a holder may also effect an “alternative cashless exercise” at any time while the Series B Warrants are outstanding following the Initial Exercise Date. Under the alternate cashless exercise option, the holder of the Series B Warrant, has the right to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cashless exercise of the Series B Warrant and (y) 1.0.

Company Redemption Option

The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are redeemable by the Company in certain circumstances. Subject to certain exceptions, if, (i) the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common stock of the Company exceeds $0.34 for 10 consecutive trading days and (ii) the average daily trading volume of the shares of the common stock of the Company for such 10-trading day period exceeds $150,000 of shares, then we may upon 30 days’ notice (a “Redemption Notice”), call for redemption or cancellation of all or any portion of the warrants for which a notice of exercise has not yet been delivered for consideration equal to $0.01 per warrant share. Any portion of a warrant subject to such Redemption Notice for which a notice of exercise shall not have been received by the Redemption Date (as hereinafter defined) will be cancelled at 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the thirtieth calendar day after the date the Redemption Notice is sent by the Company (such date and time, the “Redemption Date”). Our right to call the warrants shall be exercised ratably among the holders based on each holders initial purchase of warrants.

Exercise Price Adjustments

In addition, and subject to certain exemptions, if we sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any option to purchase, or sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any right to reprice (excluding Exempt Issuances, as defined in the Placement Agency Agreement), or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Series A Warrants then in effect, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants will be reduced to the lower of such price or the lowest VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately following such dilutive issuance or announcement thereof (subject to a floor price of $0.08555 prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date and a floor price of $0.03422 beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date), and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price will remain unchanged.

On the fourth trading day after Shareholder Approval (the “Reset Date”), the exercise price of the Series A and Series B Warrants will be adjusted to equal the lower of (i) the exercise price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (a) the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock during the period commencing on the first trading day after the Effective Shareholder Approval Date and ending following the close of trading on the fourth trading day thereafter (the “Reset Period”), and (b) if prior to Shareholder Approval, a price equal to $0.08555, or following the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, a price equal to $0.03422 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be will be increased such that the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants on the issuance date for the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants then outstanding shall remain unchanged.

The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, schemes, arrangements or similar events affecting our common stock.

Any reduction to the exercise prices of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants and resulting increase in the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants will be subject to a floor price equal to $0.08555 prior to the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, and $0.03422 beginning on the Effective Shareholder Approval Date. Following the Effective Shareholder Approval Date, the exercise price reduction and adjustment provisions with respect to the underlying shares of common stock in the Warrants described above will be effected using the reduced floor price.

Fundamental Transactions

In the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our common stock is converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, then following such event, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Any successor to us or surviving entity shall assume the obligations under the Warrants. Additionally, as more fully described in the Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of such Warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Exchange Listing

There is no established trading market for the Warrants. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the Warrants on any national securities exchange. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants.

Waivers and Adjustments

Subject to certain exceptions, any terms of the Warrants may be amended or waived with our written consent and the written consent of the holder.

Pre-Funded Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Duration and Exercise Price

Each Pre-Funded Warrant offered hereby will have an initial exercise price per share of common stock equal to $0.01. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire when exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, share combinations, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of common stock.

Exercisability

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise. However, upon notice from the holder to us, the holder may decrease or increase the holder’s beneficial ownership limitation, which may not exceed 9.99% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not take effect until 61 days following notice to us.

Cashless Exercise

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Rather, at our election, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Pre-Funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-Funded Warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Trading Market

There is no established trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants, and we do not expect an active trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other trading market. Without a trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be extremely limited. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are currently traded on Nasdaq.

No Rights as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-Funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of common stock, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our shares of common stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares of common stock.

Warrant Certificate

The Pre-Funded Warrants will be issued in certificated form.

Other Securities of the Company Not Being Offered in this Offering

The following is a description of securities of the Company other than the common stock and Warrants being offered hereby.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value. Our Board of Directors is authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock and to fix the designations, number, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms. We believe that the Board of Directors’ power to set the terms of, and our ability to issue preferred stock, will provide flexibility in connection with possible financing or acquisition transactions in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, however, could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and decrease the amount of any liquidation distribution to such holders. The presence of outstanding preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change in control of our Company.

Outstanding Warrants

As of November 20, 2024, we had 902,113 outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $3.20 per share, with a weighted average remaining life of 2 years.

Outstanding Options

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

●

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

●

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

●

our Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction; or

●

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024 and through November 18, 2024 (the last trading day prior to filing), the Company sold 2,162,423 shares of common stock under the ATM offering, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,372,000 after payment of brokerage commissions and administrative fees to the agent of approximately $42,000.

Asset Purchase

Pursuant to the asset acquisition agreement, the Company and Seller entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), granting the Buyer the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital securities of SMCB Solutions Private Limited (“SMCB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller, in consideration for 320,903 shares of common stock of the Company. The Option Agreement expired unexercised.

Hospitality Lease

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company abandoned its plans to continue use of the leased space and exercised its early termination provision of the Lease Agreement which was not accepted by the Landlord. Due to the abandonment of the lease, all assets related to the lease were impaired. Assets including security deposits, rent deposits and right of use assets of approximately $3,878,000 were written off during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

On July 26, 2024, OAC 111 Flatiron, LLC and OAC Adelphi, LLC (the “Landlord”), filed a civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against MICS Nomad LLC, a subsidiary of the Company (“MICS NY”), and the Company (“the Defendants”) for alleged breach of lease, seeking monetary damages including unpaid rent, future unpaid rent, and other expenses related to the lease.

On March 28, 2024, the Company and Oxford Commercial Finance, a Michigan banking corporation, (referred to as “Oxford”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and related Revolving Credit Note (the “Note”) for a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Oxford Line of Credit”). On October 17, 2024, the Company terminated the Loan Agreement and the Note. As of the date of termination, the Company had no outstanding amounts owed to Oxford and paid a termination fee of $40,000.

Share Repurchase

The shares of common stock to be repurchased were originally issued to the Seller on November 21, 2023, pursuant to a certain stock purchase agreement, dated November 20, 2023.

As of the date of this filing, the repurchase of the shares has not yet closed.

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $621,000 and deficit working capital of approximately $2,082,000 which is not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations through one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has a recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are issued.

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.

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivables and accounts and accounts receivable – related party, trade payables advances and notes payables and notes payable – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The standard also requires disclosure of the composition of other segment items included in the measure of segment profit or loss that are not separately disclosed. All disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separate by federal and individual tax jurisdictions, and the amount of income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between federal, state and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 5 – ASSET ACQUISITION

On June 11, 2024, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary SemiCab,LLC, SemiCab, Inc., Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell and assign to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase and assume from the Seller, substantially all the assets, and certain specified liabilities relating to the business of the Seller.

The Company decided to acquire SemiCab as part of a strategic plan to diversify its business and reduce its reliance solely on retail and consumer electronics and strategically focus on growth. The acquisition fit the Company’s strategic decision to pivot to a holding company structure.

On July 3, 2024, the parties completed the Asset Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued to the Seller (i) 641,806 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of approximately $494,000 (ii) a twenty percent (20%) membership interest in SemiCab LLC. (See Note 2).

Pursuant to the asset acquisition agreement, the Company and Seller entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), granting the Buyer the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital securities of SMCB Solutions Private Limited (“SMCB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller, in consideration for 320,903 shares of common stock of the Company. As of the date of this filing, the Option Agreement expired unexercised.

In connection with the asset acquisition agreement, effective July 3, 2024, SemiCab, LLC entered into employment agreements (the “Agreements”) with Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal Kapoor’s agreement spans three years with an annual base salary of $140,000 for 2024, $240,000 for 2025, and $300,000 for subsequent years, and Sehgal’s agreement also spans three years with an annual base salary of $105,000 for 2024, $210,000 for 2025, $240,000 for 2026, $270,000 for 2027, and $300,000 for 2028. Both executives’ salaries are subject to annual review by the Board. They are eligible for annual performance-based bonuses contingent on specific goals set by the Board and will participate in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, receiving annual equity issuances and cash-based incentives tied to revenue milestones. Both are entitled to standard employee benefits, including health insurance and retirement plans.

On July 3, 2024, the (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of SemiCab, Inc. in exchange for the purchase price consideration of approximately $983,000. On July 3, 2024, the value of the total identifiable intangible assets, including goodwill was approximately $4,754,000, based on the restricted value of SMC common shares on the date of acquisition. The Company also recognized non-controlling interest at fair value as of the Acquisition Date in the amount of approximately $74,000 representing 20% ownership in SemiCab Holdings, LLC, which is 80% owned by the Company.

The trade names and developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is one of the methods under the income approach wherein estimates of a company’s earnings attributable to the intangible asset are based on the royalty rate the company would have paid for the use of the asset if it did not own it. Royalty payments are estimated by applying royalty rates of 0.5% to the prospective revenue attributable to the intangible asset. The resulting net annual royalty payments are then discounted to present value using a discount factor of 33%, and the remaining economic life of nine years.

The Company determined an estimated fair value of customer relationships using multi-period excess earnings approach utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The analysis included assumptions regarding the growth rate for the development of new businesses, concluding between 8% and 20% organic growth rates for revenue attributable to existing customers. A discount rate of 33% was used for the weighted average cost of capital analysis, along with the evaluation of the capital expenditure requirements associated with any new initiatives developed by SemiCab. The purchase accounting for this transaction is provisional and subject to measurement period adjustments for one year following the date of acquisition.

The valuations for the above intangible assets require use of unobservable inputs that are classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.

The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible.

The following table presents the allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values:


Equity consideration	$	494,000
Fair value of non-controlling interest		74,000
Total Equity Consideration		568,000
Debt Extinguishment		415,000
Total Consideration	$	983,000

The Credit Agreement established a secured asset-backed revolving credit facility which is comprised of a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) (“Revolving Loan Cap”). Availability under the Credit Facility is determined monthly by a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable of the Borrowers. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all property of each Loan Party, subject to certain excluded collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $22,000 due from Oxford for cash collections received that exceeded the amount due on the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, there were no funds available for borrowing under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility take the form of base rate loans at interest rates of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 2.5%, but in any event no less than 10%. The Credit Agreement includes certain covenants which include, but are not limited to restrictions on debt, asset liens, capital expenditures, formation of new entities and financial covenants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $24,000 and $66,000, respectively associated with financing costs from the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement is for a two-year term that expires on November 28, 2026, and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on each anniversary of date of the agreement unless the Company notifies Oxford within 60 days before the anniversary date of its intention to pay off the Credit Facility and terminate the Credit Agreement.

The Company is subject to a two percent (2%) exit fee (“Exit Fee”) of the Revolving Loan Cap if the Company terminates the Credit Agreement and repays the obligations under Credit Facility prior to the anniversary date of the Credit Agreement. The Exit Fee shall automatically renew on the two-year anniversary date of the Loan Agreement for an additional one-year period unless the Company notifies Lender in writing within sixty (60) days before such anniversary date of Borrower’s intention to pay off this Credit Facility and terminate the Credit Agreement and all obligations of the Credit Facility are paid in full by such anniversary date. There were no draws against the Credit Facility since inception of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement established a secured asset-backed revolving credit facility which is comprised of a maximum $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was terminated on November 17, 2023. Availability under the Credit Facility was determined monthly by a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the Borrowers.

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.

NOTE 12 - COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

Computation of basic and dilutive loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

	For the three months ended September 30, 2024		For the three months ended September 30, 2023		For the nine months ended September 30, 2024			For the nine months ended September 30, 2023
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	1,195,000	$	97,000	$	(7,292,000	)	$	(5,348,000	)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		9,095,504		4,220,259		7,341,204			3,726,259
Basic and diluted income (loss) per share	$	0.13	$	0.03	$	(0.99	)	$	(1.44	)

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, options to purchase 98,178 and 91,261 shares of common stock, respectively and options to purchase 902,113 common stock warrants for both September 30, 2024 and 2023 were excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not recognize income tax provision 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 provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was approximately $1,502,000 as the Company recognized a valuation reserve of 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 from the expected tax benefit/expense based on statutory rates primarily due to full valuation allowance for all of its subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 14 – REVENUE DISAGGREGATION

The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives by providing marketing fund allowances to its customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, co-op promotion incentives were approximately $908,000 and $1,637,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, co-op promotion incentives were approximately $1,257,000 and $1,901,000, respectively. The Company’s estimated reserve for co-op promotion incentives was approximately $1,833,000 and $1,277,000 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The estimated reserve for co-op promotions is a component of accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company estimates variable consideration under its return allowance programs for goods returned from the customer whereby a revenue return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was approximately $2,212,000 and $3,390,000, respectively. In conjunction with the recording of the revenue sales return reserve, the Company estimates the cost of products that are expected to be returned under its return allowance program whereby the estimated cost of product returns is recorded as an asset. The asset is separately stated as returns asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s estimated cost of returns as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was approximately $1,081,000 and $1,919,000, respectively.

A return program for defective goods is negotiated with each of the Company’s wholesale customers on a year-to-year basis. Customers are allowed to return defective goods within a specified period of time after shipment (between six and nine months). The Company does make occasional exceptions to this return policy and accordingly records a sales return reserve based on historic return amounts, specific exceptions as identified and management estimates.

The Company records a sales reserve for its return goods programs at the time of sale for estimated sales returns that may occur. The liability for defective goods is included in the reserve for sales returns on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 15 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND REVENUE

The Company derives a majority of its revenues from retailers of products in the United States. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable is concentrated with several large customers. At September 30, 2024, 70% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable. On December 31, 2023, 82% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable.

Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales derived from our top three customers as a percentage of net sales were 41%, 20%, and 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales derived from three customers as a percentage of net sales were 28%, 22% and 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales derived from our top four customers as a percentage of net sales were 29%, 27%, 15% and 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales derived from our top three customers as a percentage of net sales were 44%, 13% and 12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company.

SMCB

The Company determined that SMCB is a VIE as the Company provides financial support to SMCB. While not contractually obligated, SMCB currently relies on our reimbursement of certain costs under a Services Agreement (“MSA”) whereby SMCB agree to provide IT software development services to support SemiCab’s US operations. In exchange, under the MSA, the Company grants intellectual property rights to SMCB to use the software platform in India. Compensation for services is invoiced and paid on a monthly or quarterly basis as agreed by both parties, with rates subject to periodic review and revision. As a result of this relationship SMCB has been determined to be a VIE.

Pursuant to the asset acquisition agreement of SemiCab, the Company entered into an option agreement granting the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital securities of SMCB, however the option agreement expired on August 31, 2024 unexercised.

The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of SMCB as the Company does not have the power to direct or control SMCB’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in the accompanying condensed consolidated financials presented for this period.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has advanced approximately $776,000 to SMCB for estimated prepaid services to be provided by SMCB in accordance with the MSA which are a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred approximately $422,000 in software support services under the MSA.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

The Singing Machine Company, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and, shareholders’ equity for the nine month transition period from April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 3, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Reserve for Sales Returns:

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates the sales value of goods to be returned from our allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a reserve for sales returns is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates.

We identified management’s estimate for sales returns as a critical audit matter due to the fact that there was significant judgment required by management with respect to measurement uncertainty, as the calculation of estimated sales returns includes assumptions such as historical product returns and margins experience used to predict future returns. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in applying the procedures related to those assumptions.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of controls over the Company’s estimates for variable consideration. Our procedures also included, among others, (1) recalculating the sales return reserve based on our review of returns received subsequent to year end and the net realizable value of the returned goods based on historical sales and margin experience; (2) evaluating the Company’s ability to accurately estimate the sales return reserve by comparing historically recorded reserves to the actual amount that was ultimately claimed by the retailers; and (3) analyzing year over year trends in the reserve in comparison with revenue trends to further evaluate reasonableness of the estimate and consistency with expectations.

NOTE 2 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Change in Fiscal Year

During 2023, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. Our results of operations, cash flows, and all transactions impacting shareholders’ equity presented in this Transition Report on Table of Contents Form 10-KT are for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 (“transition period”), and our fiscal years 2023 and 2022 are for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted.

Private Placement

On November 20, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $2,000,000 in common stock through a private placement of common stock (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was completed with two Affiliates, (Stingray Group, Inc. and Jay Foreman), both of which were existing shareholders with Board representation. The Private Placement was completed at $0.91 per share of common stock, with a total of approximately 2,198,000 shares issued. Net proceeds from the transaction were approximately $1,900,000, net of transaction fees of approximately $100,000. During the six-month period after the closing date, the purchasers may make a written request for registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the shares purchased.

Hospitality Lease

The term of the Lease Agreement is for fifteen (15) years, or on such an earlier date upon which the term shall expire, be canceled or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of the Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, MICS NY is obligated to pay an initial base rent in the amount of $30,000 beginning August 1, 2024, with scheduled increases over the term, as set forth in the Lease Agreement.

In March 2024, the Company initiated the termination of this lease under certain provisions made available under the Lease Agreement. The Landlord and the Company are in active discussions as to the terms of the lease termination however as of this filing, it is too early in the negotiation process to estimate any potential loss, if any, related to the lease termination process.

ATM Offering

On February 15, 2023, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp, as sales agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent (the “ATM Offering”), up to approximately $1,800,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,654,000 and $36,000, respectively, after payment of brokerage commissions and administrative fees to the agent. As of May 12, 2023, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement.

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $6,703,000 which is not sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations through one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has a recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are issued.

The 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 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.

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Hong Kong subsidiary, SMCL, SMCM, SMH, MICS Hospitality, MICS Hospitality Management and MICS NY. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEARS PRESENTATION

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, reserve for sales returns, accruals relating to litigation, income taxes and share-based compensation expense.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The amendments in ASU 2016-03 were effective for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted ASU 2016-03 on April 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have any material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on its estimate of expected credit losses and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates specific identified risks and the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections, current forecasts of future economic conditions over the time horizon the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. As needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible.

INVENTORY AND RETURNS ASSET

Inventory is comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones, and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value.

In addition, the Company reports an estimated amount for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns (returns asset) related to the Company’s defective allowance, overstock, and warranty policies.

THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 and 2022

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of the unamortized balances of its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and rental assets, to determine whether impairment of these assets has occurred or whether a revision to the related amortization periods should be made. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset group exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded based on the amount by which the asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined based on an evaluation of the assets’ associated discounted future cash flows or appraised value. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Company had no impairment loss related to long-lived assets.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using straight-line methods.

LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the implicit rate for its finance leases.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosure of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For the purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, refunds due to customers, customer deposits, other current liabilities and due from related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on other liabilities are approximate to fair value due to their relatively short period to maturity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.

The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification, and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies performance obligations as the delivery of the requested product or service in appropriate quantities and to the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. Revenue from sales of product is recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time when the product is delivered or shipped, at which time, title passes to the customer and there are no further performance obligations with regards to the product.”

The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Co-op promotion incentives were approximately $2,600,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, $2,300,000 during fiscal 2023 and $2,000,000 during fiscal 2022.

The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are generally less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.

Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.

December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 and 2022

While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, the Company does accept defective returns, warranty exchanges and overstock from seasonal customers. The Company estimates the sales value of goods to be returned from our allowance programs for goods returned from the customer for various reasons, whereby a reserve for sales returns is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates. The Company’s reserve for sales returns was approximately $3,400,000 as of December 31, 2023, and $900,000 as of March 31, 2023. The Company estimates the net realizable value of these expected future sales returns. The net realizable value of these estimated returns is classified as return assets as part of current assets on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s return assets were approximately $1,900,000 and $600,000 as of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, shipping and handling expenses were approximately $600,000. For Fiscal 2023 and 2022 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $500,000 and $900,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has granted stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee members of our Board of Directors. The Company also has an equity incentive plan which provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards collectively, the “Awards.” Awards may be granted under the 2022 Plan to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with all share-based payments based on grant date fair values. The fair value of each stock option and stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and stock purchase rights. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price and several assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

For grants of stock options, the Company uses a blend of historical and implied volatility for traded options on its stock to estimate the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s use of a blended volatility estimates in computing the expected volatility assumption for stock options is based on its belief that while the implied volatility is representative of expected future volatility, the historical volatility over the expected term of the award is also an indicator of expected future volatility. The Company utilizes a blended volatility estimate that consists of implied volatility and historical volatility in order to estimate the expected volatility assumption of the Black-Scholes model.

The expected term of stock options granted is estimated using historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the Company’s stock options and stock purchase rights. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate assumption for all types of share-based compensation awards based on historical forfeiture rates related to each category of award.

Compensation costs associated with grants of restricted stock units are measured at fair value, which has historically been the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of each individual award, which generally equals the vesting period, using the straight-line method for awards that contain only service conditions. For awards that contain performance conditions, the Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche, when achievement of that tranche is considered probable.

The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock awards at each grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 and 2022

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separate by federal and individual tax jurisdictions, and the amount of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between federal, state and foreign. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

Computation of dilutive shares for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF BASIC AND DILUTIVE SHARES

	Nine months ended December 31, 2023		Fiscal year ended March 31, 2023		Fiscal year ended March 31, 2022
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		4,864,540		2,811,872		1,614,506
Effect of dilutive stock options		-		-		8,891

Diluted weighted average of common shares outstanding		4,864,540		2,811,872		1,623,397

Basic net (loss) income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, options to purchase 113,761 shares of common stock and 902,113 common stock warrants were excluded in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, options to purchase 53,675 shares of common stock and 902,113 common stock warrants were excluded in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, pre-funded warrants to purchase 561,111 shares of common stock were included in basic weighted average shares outstanding as deemed outstanding. Options to purchase 8,891 shares of common stock were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, options and warrants to purchase approximately 56,000 shares of common stock were excluded in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

The Advisor Warrants have the same exercise price ($10.50) and terms as the Common Warrants issued in the Private Placement. The Company estimated the fair value of the Advisor Warrants to be approximately $400,000 using the Black-Scholes Model based on the following input assumptions: common stock price of $9.90, expected life of the warrants of 2.5 years; stock price volatility of 168%; dividend yield of 0%; and the risk-free interest rate of 2.65%.

The Company recognizes federal, state and foreign current tax liabilities or assets based on its estimate of taxes payable to or refundable by tax authorities in the current fiscal year. The Company also recognizes federal, state and foreign deferred tax liabilities or assets based on the Company’s estimate of future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence and judgment, are not expected to be realized.

The Company performed an analysis in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The analysis performed to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets included an evaluation of the pattern and timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the length of carryback and carryforward periods available under the applicable federal, state and foreign laws; and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and concluded that valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets was necessary based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s recent history of losses and projected earnings for fiscal year 2024 and in the future.

The actual tax provision differs from the “expected” tax for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, and the years ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 (computed by applying the U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate of 21 percent to income before taxes) as follows:

NOTE 18 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND REVENUE

At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of this financial institution and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company derives most of its revenues from retailers in the United States. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable is concentrated with several large customers. On December 31, 2023, 82% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable. On March 31, 2023, 79% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable. On March 31, 2022, 53% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable.

Revenues derived from our top three customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, were 81% and 77% of total revenue, respectively. Revenues derived from our top three customers for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 were 69% and 72% of total revenue, respectively. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales were derived from top three customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and top two customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, as percentage of the net sales were 48%, 21% and 12% and 46% and, 22%, respectively. Revenues from customers representing greater than 10% of total net sales were derived from our top two customers in Fiscal 2023 and top three customers in Fiscal 2022 as percentage of the net sales were 48% and 21% and 37%, 18%, and 17%, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023 and 2022

The Company is dependent upon foreign companies for the manufacture of all its electronic products. The Company’s arrangements with manufacturers are subject to the risk of doing business abroad, such as import duties, trade restrictions, work stoppages, foreign currency fluctuations, political instability, and other factors, which could have an adverse impact on its business. The Company believes that the loss of any one or more of their suppliers would not have a long-term material adverse effect because other manufacturers with whom the Company does business would be able to increase production to fulfill their requirements. However, the loss of certain suppliers in the short term could adversely affect business until alternative supply arrangements are secured.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and fiscal years 2023 and 2022, manufacturers in the People’s Republic of China accounted for 100% of the Company’s total product purchases, including all the Company’s hardware purchases. In 2018 the U.S. government-imposed tariffs of up to 25% on certain goods imported from China. All our products are manufactured and imported from China however, only our microphones are currently subject to a 7.5% tariff currently in place. Should the government decide to expand its list of products to include our karaoke products that would subject our products to tariffs in the future, there could be a significant increase in the landed cost of our products. If we are unable to mitigate these increased costs through price increases, we could experience reductions in revenues, gross profit margin and results from operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of

SemiCab, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SemiCab, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters have also been reviewed and considered. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BASIS FOR OPINION

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

The SemiCab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “SemiCab”) is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of logistics optimization services for enterprise-level dedicated freight and shipping customers in The United States and India.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase its revenue and meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis and become profitable in its future operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses from 2022 to 2023 of $4,814,000. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include certain intercompany expenses associated with its wholly owned India subsidiary, SMCB Solutions Private Limited, the accounts of the Company. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

USE OF ESTIMATES

SemiCab makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales collections and allowances, warranty reserves, and reserves for promotional incentives that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

F-47

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

SemiCab’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other allowances based upon historical collection experience. The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions pursuant to ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. In accordance with ASC 830, monetary balances denominated in or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of operations, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. Gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such transactions and from the remeasurement of the monetary balance sheet items are recorded as gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

The functional currency of the India subsidiary is the Indian Rupee. Under ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into U. S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective periods. All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in Indian Rupee are reflected in the statement of operations as appropriate. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $58,000 and $91,000, respectively. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of this financial institution and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Not applicable. The only meaningful long-lived assets are intangible in nature and under GAAP accounting, not capitalized nor assigned any long-term accounting value. prior to the proposed transaction.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives, principally using straight-line methods.

The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES

	Years
Property and Equipment	3 - 5

F-48

PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of prepaid services which will be expensed as the services are provided within twelve months. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the balances of the prepaids account were $5,000 and $8,000, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, payables, and notes payable-related party approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The notes payable- related party is considered a level 3 measurement. As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies to both initial and subsequent measurement.

Level 1:	Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2:	Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3:	Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, refunds due to customers, and due to related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the notes payable, finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.

F-49

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods delivered for them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For Fiscal 2023 and 2022 shipping and handling expenses provided by third party shippers were approximately $5,692,000 and $10,057,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for share based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The majority of its share-based compensation arrangements vest over a three year vesting schedule. The Company expenses its share-based compensation under the ratable method, which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of certain assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected option term”), the estimated volatility of its common stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

As required under the accounting rules, the Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, the Company is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures (the number of individuals that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements). The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from current estimates. Options and warrants to outsiders are accounted for under ASC 718.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

All research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, these amounts totaled approximately $842,000 and $640,000, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

F-50

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022 there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Not applicable. This is not required.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The amendments in ASU 2016-03 for smaller reporting companies are effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on May 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in any material effects to the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following: $494,000 and $677,000, all due from large, US-based manufacturers for shipping services provided by the Company.

Bad debt expenses (if any) are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense.

The allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: This has historically been set at $0, as the Company has not previously recorded any losses due to bad debt.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Equipment and leasehold improvements consisted of the following as of December 31: Miscellaneous office equipment, including desktop computers, laptop computers, and printers.

Depreciation was $1,000 and $2,000 for 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amounts are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses as well as in cost of services.

NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 9 - DUE FROM FACTOR

We entered into an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”) which has been extended to October 31, 2024 and may be discontinued at that time. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, from time to time, we sell to the Factor a minimum of $150,000 per quarter of certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 35% of the foreign and 75% of the domestic accounts receivable balance to us (the “Advance Amount”), with the remaining balance, less fees, forwarded to us once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. In addition, from time to time, we receive over advances from the Factor. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. We expect to continue to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with our general working capital requirements due to contractual requirements.
