NOTES
TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2024
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The
Company, incorporated in the state of New York in May 1984 has conducted business in the name of DSS, Inc. On September 16, 2021, the
board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger with a wholly owned subsidiary, DSS, Inc. (a New York corporation, incorporated
in August 2020), for the sole purpose of effecting a name change from Document Security Systems, Inc. to DSS, Inc. This change became
effective on September 30, 2021. DSS, Inc. maintained the same trading symbol “DSS”.
DSS,
Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, referred to herein as “DSS,” “we,” “us,” “our”
or the “Company”), currently operates nine (9) distinct business lines with operations and locations around the globe. These
business lines are: (1) Product Packaging, (2) Biotechnology, (3) Direct, (4) Commercial Lending, (5) Securities and Investment Management,
(6) Alternative Trading (7) Digital Transformation (discontinued in 2023), (8) Secure Living (discontinued in 2023), and (9) Alternative
Energy (discontinued in 2023). Each of these business lines are in different stages of development, growth, and income generation.
Our
divisions, their business lines, subsidiaries, and operating territories: (1) Our Product Packaging line is led by Premier Packaging
Corporation, Inc. (“Premier”), a New York corporation. Premier operates in the paper board and fiber based folding carton,
consumer product packaging, and document security printing markets. It markets, manufactures, and sells sophisticated custom folding
cartons, mailers, photo sleeves and complex 3-dimensional direct mail solutions. Premier is currently located in its new facility in
Rochester, NY, and primarily serves the US market. (2) The Biotechnology business line was created to invest in or acquire companies
in the BioHealth and BioMedical fields, including businesses focused on the advancement of drug discovery and prevention, inhibition,
and treatment of neurological, oncological, and immune related diseases. This division is also targeting unmet, urgent medical needs,
and is developing open-air defense initiatives, which curb transmission of air-borne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and influenza.
(3) Direct Marketing, led by the holding corporation, Decentralized Sharing Systems, Inc. (“Decentralized”) provides services
to assist companies in the emerging growth “Gig” business model of peer-to-peer decentralized sharing marketplaces. Direct
Marketing’s products include, among other things, nutritional and personal care products sold throughout North America, Asia Pacific,
Middle East, and Eastern Europe. (4) Our Commercial Lending business division, driven by American Pacific Bancorp (“APB”),
is organized for the purposes of being a financial network holding company, focused on acquiring equity positions in (i) undervalued
commercial bank(s), bank holding companies and nonbanking licensed financial companies operating in the United States, South East Asia,
Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, and (ii) companies engaged in—nonbanking activities closely related to banking, including loan syndication
services, mortgage banking, trust and escrow services, banking technology, loan servicing, equipment leasing, problem asset management,
SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) consulting services, and advisory capital raising services. (5) Securities and Investment
Management was established to develop and/or acquire assets in the securities trading or management arena, and to pursue, among other
product and service lines, broker dealers, and mutual funds management. Also in this segment is the Company’s real estate investment
trusts (“REIT”), organized for the purposes of acquiring hospitals and other acute or post-acute care centers from leading
clinical operators with dominant market share in secondary and tertiary markets, and leasing each property to a single operator under
a triple-net lease. the REIT was formed to originate, acquire, and lease a credit-centric portfolio of licensed medical real estate.
(6) Alternative Trading was established to develop and/or acquire assets and investments in the securities trading and/or funds management
arena. Alternative Trading, in partnership with recognized global leaders in alternative trading systems, intends to own and operate
in the US a single or multiple vertical digital asset exchanges for securities, tokenized assets, utility tokens, and cryptocurrency
via an alternative trading platform using blockchain technology. The scope of services within this section is planned to include asset
issuance and allocation (securities and cryptocurrency), FPO, IPO, ITO, PPO, and UTO listings on a primary market(s), asset digitization/tokenization
(securities, currency, and cryptocurrency), and the listing and trading of digital assets (securities and cryptocurrency) on a secondary
market(s). (7) Digital Transformation was established to be a Preferred Technology Partner and Application Development Solution for mid
cap brands in various industries including the direct selling and affiliate marketing sector. Digital improves marketing, communications
and operations processes with custom software development and implementation (discontinued in 2023). (8) The Secure Living division has
developed a plan for fully sustainable, secure, connected, and healthy living communities with homes incorporating advanced technology,
energy efficiency, and quality of life living environments both for new construction and renovations for single and multi-family residential
housing (discontinued in 2023). (9) The Alternative Energy group was established to help lead the Company’s future in the clean
energy business that focuses on environmentally responsible and sustainable measures. Alset Energy, Inc, the holding company for this
group, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alset Solar, Inc., pursue utility-scale solar farms to serve US regional power grids and to provide
underutilized properties with small microgrids for independent energy (discontinued in 2023).
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, unless
otherwise indicated) necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the
results of our consolidated operations for the interim periods presented. We follow the same accounting policies when preparing quarterly
financial data as we use for preparing annual data. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the notes included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Form 10-K”),
and our other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Principles
of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DSS, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Deconsolidation
of Sharing Services Global Corporation(“SHRG”) - On May 4, 2023, the Company distributed approximately 280 million
shares of SHRG beneficially held by DSS and Decentralized Sharing Systems in the form of a dividend to the shareholders of DSS common
stock. Upon completion of this distribution, DSS will retain an ownership interest in SHRG of approximately 7%. Immediately prior to
this distribution, DSS owned approximately 81% of the issued and outstanding common shares of SHRG. As a result, SHRG, whose operations
represented a significant portion of our Direct Marketing segment, was deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements effective
as of May 1, 2023 (the “Deconsolidation”). The consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September
30, 2023, therefore includes one month of activity related to SHRG prior to the Deconsolidation. Subsequent to April 30, 2023 the assets
and liabilities of SHRG are no longer included within our consolidated balance sheets. Any discussions related to results, operations,
and accounting policies associated with SHRG refer to the periods prior to the Deconsolidation.
Upon
Deconsolidation, we recognized a loss before income taxes of approximately $29,196,000 which is recorded within gain/loss investments
in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Subsequent to the Deconsolidation,
we accounted for our equity ownership interest in SHRG as a marketable security and at the quoted price stock price of SHRG.
Use
of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial
statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company
evaluates its estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, convertible notes receivable, inventory, fair values of
investments, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of options and
warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, deferred revenue and income taxes, among others. The Company
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Cash
Equivalents – All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified
as cash equivalents. Amounts included in cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are money market funds whose
adjusted costs approximate fair value.
Accounts/Rents
Receivable - The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations and generally does not require collateral. Payment terms are generally 30 days but up to net 120 for certain customers. The
Company carries its trade accounts receivable at invoice amounts and its rent receivables at contract amounts, less an allowance for
credit losses. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses based
upon management’s estimates that include a review of the history of past write-offs and collections and an analysis of current
credit conditions. In estimating expected losses in the accounts receivable portfolio, customer-specific financial data and macro-economic
assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to
measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the customers’
abilities to pay.
At
June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company established a reserve for credit losses of approximately $2,500,000 and $2,494,000,
respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivable.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.
The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk because of any non-performance by the financial institutions. As
of June 30, 2024, one customers accounted for approximately 24% of our consolidated revenue and one customers accounted for approximately
39% of our trade accounts receivable balance.
As
of June 30, 2023, two customers accounted for approximately 19% and 5% of our consolidated revenue and these two customers accounted
for approximately 55% and 14% of our consolidated trade accounts receivable balance.
As
of December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for approximately 20% and 11% of our consolidated revenue and 39% and 30% of our trade
accounts receivable balance.
For
the six months ended of June 30, 2024 one vendor accounted for approximately 12%
of our cost of revenue and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, another vendor accounted for approximately 14% of our cost of revenue.
Notes
receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition - The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on
notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes,
the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the
maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred
loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance.
The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate
a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. Net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection
with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan.
Allowance
For Loans And Lease Losses - On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 –
Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets
to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant
information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported
amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions
are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts
and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay
obligations. After the forecast period, the company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining
contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment
reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
Investments
– Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, not accounted for under the equity method, are
recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair
value, the investment is recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments related to observable transactions for the
same or similar securities, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity method investments, the Company regularly
reviews its investments to determine whether there is a decline in fair value below book value. If there is a decline that is other-than-temporary,
the investment is written down to fair value. See Note 8 for further discussion on investments.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments - Fair value is defined as 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes a
three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
●
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
●
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
and
●
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions,
such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The
carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Marketable
securities classify as a Level 1 fair value financial instrument. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value
as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do not reflect recent market conditions. The fair value of revolving credit lines notes
payable and long-term debt approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the debt reflect recent market conditions.
The fair value of investments where the fair value is not considered readily determinable, are carried at cost.
Inventory
– Inventories consist primarily of paper, pre-printed security paper, paperboard, fully prepared packaging, air filtration
systems, and health and beauty products which and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out
(“FIFO”) method. Packaging work-in-process and finished goods included the cost of materials, direct labor and overhead.
At the closing of each reporting period, the Company evaluates its inventory in order to adjust the inventory balance for obsolete and
slow-moving items. An allowance for obsolescence of approximately $30,000 and $18,000 associated with the inventory at our Premier subsidiary
for June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of revenue.
Investments
in real estate, net – Acquisition of assets are recorded at their relative fair value based on total
accumulated costs of the acquisition. Direct acquisition-related costs are capitalized as a component of the acquired assets. This
includes all costs related to finding, analyzing and negotiating a transaction. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that
requires judgment and significant estimates. Tangible and intangible assets include land, building and improvements, furniture,
fixtures and equipment, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value (if applicable). Acquisition date fair
values of assets and assumed liabilities are determined based on replacement costs, appraised values, and estimated fair values
using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers and that use appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and
available market information. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. During 2023, the land and buildings related to AMRE LifeCare and AMRE Winter Haven were reclassified to Assets
held for sale.
Assets
held for sale – The Company has several buildings and the associated land they occupy for sale as of June 30, 2024 and
December 31, 2023. These consist of primarily of retail space in Lindon, Utah approximating $5,593,000 (sale of this building was finalized
during Q2 2024) and the medical facilities associated with AMRE LifeCare of approximately $41,570,000 and AMRE Winter Haven of approximately
$4,396,000, and $65,000 of other assets.
Intangible
Assets - The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such
as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated
useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually
or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated
fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. At December 31, 2023, The Company impaired approximately $7,418,000 associated with
intangible assets for AMRE Lifecare and AMRE Winter Haven. No circumstances or events have occurred since the most recent analysis that
would indicate the need for an impairment is needed for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Goodwill
– Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between
annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides
an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to
a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after completing
the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value,
the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. The Company may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test
for any or all of our reporting units. The test compares the fair value of an entity’s reporting units to the carrying value of
those reporting units. This quantitative test requires various judgments and estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting
unit using a market approach in combination with a discounted operating cash flow approach. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the
excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting
unit. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2023, and no impairment was deemed necessary for the
goodwill associated with Premier Packaging Company, and Impact BioMedical of $1,769,000 and $25,093,000, respectively. The goodwill for
APB, and Sentinel Co. of approximately $29,744,000, and $1,234,000 respectively, were deemed impaired and written off at December 31,
2023. No circumstances or events have occurred since the most recent analysis that would indicate the need for an impairment is needed
for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill - The Company monitors the carrying value of long-lived assets for potential impairment and
tests the recoverability of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
If a change in circumstance occurs, the Company performs a test of recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset
group to its undiscounted expected future cash flows. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset,
the Company will determine whether impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which the Company can identify the projected cash
flows. If the carrying values are in excess of undiscounted expected future cash flows, the Company measures any impairment by comparing
the fair value of the asset or asset group to its carrying value.
Business
Combinations - Business combinations and non-controlling interests are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations.
Under the guidance, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition
and all acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill.
If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and the liabilities assumed, then a gain on acquisition is recorded.
The application of business combination accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
Loss
Per Common Share - The Company presents basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share. Basic (loss) earnings per share reflect
the actual weighted average of shares issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share are computed including
the number of additional shares from outstanding warrants, stock options and preferred stock that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential shares had been issued and is calculated utilizing the treasury stock method. In a loss period, the calculation for basic and
diluted (loss) earnings per share is the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended
June 30, 2023, potential dilutive instruments included options of 3,333. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, potential dilutive
instruments was 0.
Income
Taxes - The Company recognizes estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for
the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based
on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not
expected to be realized. We recognize penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Going
Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a
going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets
and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. While the Company has approximately $10.7
million in cash, the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over
the past two years.
Aside
from its $10.7 million in cash as of June 30, 2024, the Company believes it can continue as a going concern, due to its ability to generate
operating cash through the sale of its $9.6 million of Marketable Securities. The Company has also taken steps to sell its real estate
holdings assets of AMRE LifeCare and Winter Haven located in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida. These properties approximate $46.0 million
in assets and are identified on the accompanying balance sheet as Held for sale. In addition, the Company has taken steps, and will continue
to take measures, to materially reduce the expenses and cash burn at all corporate and business line levels. Although there are no assurances,
we believe the above would allow us to fund our nine business lines current and planned operations for the twelve months from the filing
date of this Annual Report. Based on this, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern
has been alleviated.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2023, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280):
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure through enhanced disclosures about significant
segment expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior
periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its disclosures.
2.
Revenue
The
Company recognizes its revenue based on when the title passes to the customer or when the service is completed and accepted by the customer.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for shipped product or service provided.
Sales and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. The Company recognizes rental income associated
with its REIT, net of amortization of favorable/unfavorable lease terms relative to market and includes rental abatements and contractual
fixed increases attributable to operating leases, where collection has been considered probable, on a straight-line basis over the term
of the related lease. The Company recognizes net investment income from its investment banking line of business as interest and management
fees related to loans managed for third parties owed to the Company occurs. The Company generates revenue from its direct marketing line
of business primarily through internet sales and recognizes revenue as items are shipped.
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater
than one year. Pursuant to Topic 606, the Company has applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and
future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. The Company elected
the practical expedient allowing it to not recognize as a contract asset the commission paid to its salesforce on the sale of its products
as an incremental cost of obtaining a contract with a customer but rather recognize such commission as expense when incurred as the amortization
period of the asset that the Company would have otherwise recognized is one year or less.
Sales
Commissions
Sales
commissions are expensed as incurred for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less. There were no sales commissions capitalized
as of June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
Costs
incurred by the Company related to shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold. Amounts charged to customers relating
to these costs are reflected as revenue.
See
Note 14 for disaggregated revenue information.

Provision for Credit Losses
Effective
January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” for the measurement
of credit losses on financial instruments and other financial assets. That guidance requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted
from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value that is expected to be collected over the contractual
term of the assets considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that
affect the collectability of the reported amount. The guidance replaced the previous incurred loss model for determining the allowance
for credit losses.
Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable
and unbilled receivables, based on expected credit losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The
allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical experience, current economic conditions and the creditworthiness of customers.
Receivables are charged to the allowance when determined to be no longer collectible. The Company regularly monitors and assesses its
risk of not collecting amounts owed by customers and records its allowance for credit losses based on the results of this analysis.
As
of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have reviewed the entire loan portfolio as well as all financial assets of the Company for
the purpose of evaluating the loan portfolio and the loan balances, including a review of individual and collective portfolio loan quality,
loan(s) performance, including past due status and covenant defaults, assessment of the ability of the borrower to repay the loan on
the loan terms, whether any loans should be placed on nonaccrual or returned to accrual, any concentrations in any single borrower and/or
industry that we might need to further manage, and if any specific or general loan loss reserve should be established for the entire
loan portfolio or for any specific loan.
We
analyzed the loan loss reserve from three basis: general loan portfolio reserves; industry portfolio reserves, and specific loan loss
reserves. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a Loan loss reserve of approximately $346,000 and $3,757,000,
respectively.
General
Loan Portfolio Reserve - Based upon a relatively young loan portfolio that are relatively new loans, we do not believe that a substantial
general loan portfolio reserve is due at this time. However, we do recognize that some inherent risks are in all loan portfolios, thus
we recorded a general contingent portfolio reserve of $182,000 and $194,000 of the loan portfolio loan balance as of June 30, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, respectively.
Industry
Portfolio Reserves - Given the relatively young loan portfolio and a diversification of the portfolio over several different loan
products, the risk is reduced. Accordingly, we have not recorded a discretionary reserve as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Specific
Loan Reserves - Previously, we had identified credit weaknesses and borrower repayment weakness with Borrower 3, which has a
current principal and interest balance of $884,000
and have recorded a loan loss reserve for the full balance due the Company as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The Company
had also previously identified credit weakness in Borrower 1 and has placed a reserve approximating $2,884,000
against the outstanding principal and interest as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Previously, the Company identified credit
weakness in Borrower 12 and has placed a reserve approximating $1,045,000
against the outstanding principal and interest as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the
Company identified credit weakness in Borrower 10 and 13 and has placed a reserve approximating $479,000
and $135,000,
respectively, against the outstanding principal and interest as of March 31, 2024. Also during the first quarter of 2024, the
Company identified credit weakness in Borrower 8, a related party, and has placed a reserve approximating $211,000
against the outstanding principal and interest as of March 31, 2024. No additional reserves were deemed necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Disposal of assets
On
July 1st, 2023, The Company intended to sell its subsidiary, HWH World, Inc. to SHRG. The proposed transaction had the Company
sell 1,000 shares of common stock, representing all the issued and outstanding common stock shares of HWH World for the sum $706,000
representing the gross proceeds of the sale of HWH inventory less cost of goods sold. The parties involved amended the terms of this
agreement during the third quarter of 2023 from that of equity transaction to the purchase of inventory and assumption of certain liabilities
by SHRG. The amended agreement identified the purchase price approximating $758,000 to be paid from amongst other things, the gross proceeds
generated by the sale of the inventory acquired. The value of the inventory sold approximates $698,000 and the value of the liabilities
assumed by SHRG as part of this transaction is approximately $59,000. Further, the agreement includes payment of 1% royalty, starting
November 1, 2023, being defined as 1% of the gross sale price of all Seller’s new products made and sold outside of existing inventory
on the schedule, for a period ending October 31, 2033. There is substantial doubt regarding SHRG’s ability to sell and pay for
the inventory acquired, and therefore, the Company has determined not to record a receivable for the purchase price. A net loss approximating
$639,000 associated with this transaction has been recorded during the third quarter of 2023 and is included in Loss/Gain on sale of
assets on the consolidated statement of operations.

as part of the transaction. This transaction was later amended during the third quarter of 2023 to assign the purchase of HWHH from SHRG
to Ascend Management Pte., Ltd. (“Ascend”), a Singaporean limited company. There is substantial doubt regarding Ascend’s
ability to sell and pay for the inventory acquired, and therefore, the Company has determined not to record a receivable for the purchase
price. A net loss approximating $617,000 associated with this transaction has been recorded during the third quarter of 2023 and is included
in Loss/Gain on sale of assets on the consolidated statement of operations.
