Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization

Effective as of September 27, 2024, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name from Nicholas Financial, Inc. to Old Market Capital Corporation by filing a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. Old Market Capital Corporation (f/k/a Nicholas Financial, Inc. (“NFI”) and now "OMCC" and together, with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiary, the "Company") is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware with one wholly-owned United States subsidiary, Nicholas Data Services, Inc. ("NDS") and its one controlling interest in Amplex Holdings, Inc. ("Amplex"). On April 18, 2024, Old Market Capital Corporation completed its continuation and domestication from British Columbia to the State of Delaware by filing its Certificate of Corporate Domestication and Certification of Incorporation in the State of Delaware. As a result of the domestication, the Company's common stock par value increased from $0.00 to $0.01 on a one-for-one basis.

NDS historically was engaged in supporting and updating industry specific computer application software for small businesses located primarily in the Southeastern United States. NDS has ceased its operations; however, it continues as the interim holding company for Old Market Capital Corporation. NFI was a specialized consumer finance company engaged primarily in acquiring and servicing automobile finance installment contracts for purchases of used and new automobiles and light trucks. NFI had also offered direct consumer loans and sold consumer finance related products. NFI and NDS are based in Florida, U.S.A.

On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Westlake Services, LLC dba Westlake Financial, a California limited liability company ("Westlake Financial"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the finance receivables and all of the repossessed assets of Old Market Capital Corporation. In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company ceased new loan originations of contracts and direct loans. On April 26, 2024, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed. See Note 13 for additional information.

On June 15, 2024, Old Market Capital Corporation closed upon the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Amplex Electric Inc, which was placed into a newly formed entity Amplex Holdings, Inc. ("Amplex"). Amplex is a provider of broadband internet, voice over internet protocol (VOIP), and video services within service areas located primarily in Northwest and North Central Ohio. As of December 31, 2024, Amplex had approximately 12,850 broadband customers (4,100 fiber subscribers) and over 11,000 fiber passings completed. Amplex's customer base includes residential and commercial customers. Amplex leases certain property (including an office building) and warehouse building from Red Bug, LLC and Red Bug Properties, Ltd. (collectively, the "Red Bug Entities"). The Red Bug Entities were created by, and are majority-owned by Amplex's Chief Executive Officer. The Red Bug Entities were initially treated as a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which Amplex was determined to be the primary beneficiary. See below regarding the impact of the misclassification on the current period and prior period's financial statements as well as Note 2 and Note 9.

In conjunction with the closing of the Amplex Acquisition, the Company converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest of approximately $0.8 million under the Term Loan Advances into 421 shares of Amplex common stock at the share purchase price of $1,792.55. The Company also invested an additional $4.5 million into Amplex for 2,583 shares, increasing the Company's ownership percentage to 61%.

 

Correction of Immaterial Errors in Previously Issued Financial Statements Through the Current Period

 

During the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s management identified certain immaterial errors related to previously issued condensed consolidated interim financial statements within this current year. A description of the nature of the errors is discussed below:

Management determined that the Red Bug Entities were previously incorrectly reported in Form 10-Q for quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 and in Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended September 30,

10


 

2024. During these periods, the Red Bug entities were reported as consolidated VIEs as they were considered to not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company previously consolidated the Red Bug Entities (beginning on June 15, 2024 in conjunction with the Amplex acquisition) as certain obligations due from the Red Bug entities were previously determined to be subordinated debt and concluded that the Company had the power to direct the activities of the Red Bug Entities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. As the third-party debt and amount due from Red Bug was extinguished pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and Amplex, the Red Bug entities should not have been consolidated as a VIE as, upon acquisition, Amplex did not have a variable interest in the Red Bug entities.
Failure to record approximately $185 thousand of stock-based compensation expense pertaining to certain awards granted in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

 

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the corrections and has determined that the related impacts were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the previously issued financial statements that contained the errors, based on overall considerations of both quantitative and qualitative factors. The Company has concluded that prior period financial statements as of and for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 and the three and six month period ended September 30, 2024 were not materially misstated and can continue to be relied upon. Accordingly, the Company has corrected the previously reported immaterial errors in the current period financial statements by adjusting the opening balances of the affected accounts.

In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the Company has recorded the impact of the prior period errors through opening retained earnings in the current period financial statements. The affected prior period balances are displayed below. Note that there was an immaterial impact on net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, net cash provided by (used in) investing activities or net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 or the three and six months ended September 30, 2024.

These corrections did not have a significant impact on the Company’s trends in financial performance or key financial ratios.

Management and the Audit Committee have reviewed these adjustments and concluded that the financial statements, as corrected, present fairly, in all material respects, the balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old Market Capital Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, primarily consisting of the operations of Amplex. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly-owned, the third party's holding of the equity interest is presented as noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interest and shareholders' equity. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). for interim financial information, with instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with Article 8 of Regulation S-X thereunder Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information is not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2025. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the recognition of deferred taxes, assessing the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, and assessing the likelihood of adverse outcomes from pending litigation and regulatory matters. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity date that was 3 months or less at the time of purchase are treated as cash equivalents. Amounts earned from cash equivalents are presented separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted cash consists of cash held in a pledged deposit account received in connection with the RUS Loan (see Note 6) that is required to be held by Amplex and is able to be used by the Company solely for the purposes for which the funds were awarded to complete a project, or for such other purposes as may be approved in writing. Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of allowance for credit losses, if applicable, and are unsecured and do not bear interest.

15


 

The allowance for credit losses is based on the probability of future collection under the current expect credited loss impairment model under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Assets. Under the CECL impairment model, the Company determines its allowance by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using the Company’s historical loss rate. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as macroeconomic trends or other factors including customers’ credit risk and historical loss experience. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the balance is deemed uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Changes in the allowance are recorded as adjustments to bad debt expense in the period incurred.

Property, Plant, and Equipment, net

Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and improvements that extend the economic useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Upon disposal of assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized currently in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Asset

 

Estimated Useful Life

Equipment

 

5 - 7 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 - 7 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of lease term or useful life (generally 6 - 15 years)

Construction equipment

 

5 - 10 years

Fiber plant

 

15 - 30 years

Customer premise equipment

 

4 - 5 years

Towers

 

5 - 10 years

Plant in service

 

15 - 49 years

Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Upon acquisition of a company, the Company determines if the transaction is a business combination, which is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, once control is obtained from a business, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at their estimated fair values. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

Certain assumptions, estimates, and judgments are used in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including goodwill and intangible assets, as well as determining the allocation of goodwill to the reporting units. Accordingly, the Company may obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for the valuation of significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but that are inherently uncertain. Measurement period adjustments are reflected at the time identified, up through the conclusion of the measurement period, which is the time at which all information for determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Contract assets and liabilities are measured and recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Additionally, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions periodically and records any adjustments to preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided the Company is within the measurement period. If outside of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Intangibles with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which generally range from 5 to 21 years. Annually, or when certain triggering events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its intangibles with definite lives.

Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. The Company is required to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if indicators of potential impairment exist due to triggering events, by determining if the carrying value of the Company's goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value of said goodwill. Indicators that could trigger an interim impairment test include, but are not limited to, underperformance relative to projected future operating results, significant negative industry or economic trends, an adverse change in regulatory environment, or pending adverse litigation.

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of the Company's goodwill is less than its carrying value as of the assessment date. If no events, facts, or circumstances are identified during the qualitative assessment, the Company does not need to perform a quantitative impairment assessment. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying value, then the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the goodwill with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill. During the periods presented, the Company did not have any impairment charges.

Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies assets as held-for-sale if all held-for-sale criteria are met pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. Criteria include management's commitment to sell the disposal group in its present condition and the sale being deemed probable of being completed within one year. Assets classified as held-for-sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held-for-sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the initial carrying value of the disposal group.

Pursuant to ASC 310-10, Receivables, a loan classified as held for investment should be reclassified to held for sale if the reporting on the date a loan is transferred into the held-for-sale category, any previously recorded allowance for credit losses is reversed in earnings and the loan is recorded at its amortized cost basis. Prior to the transfer, a reporting entity should apply its writeoff policy to the amortized cost basis. The amortized cost at the date of transfer should be reduced by any writeoffs recognized just prior to the transfer. If the amortized cost basis exceeds the loan’s fair value at the date of transfer, the reporting entity should establish a valuation allowance equal to the difference between amortized cost basis and fair value.

When the Company has sold, or classified as held for sale, a business component that represents a strategic shift with significant effect on the Company's operations and financial results, it classifies that business component as discontinued operations and retrospectively presents discontinued operations for the comparable periods. The post-tax income, or loss, of discontinued operations are shown as a single line on the face of the statement of operations. The disposal of the discontinued operation would also result in a gain or loss upon final disposal.

As a result of the sale of finance receivables and repossessed assets to Westlake Financial, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the activity related to the sale of the assets of the consumer finance segment as discontinued operations. The Company determined that the finance receivables met the held-for-sale criteria as of November 1, 2023 and the consumer finance segment met the discontinued operations criteria during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, concurrent with the decision to sell the finance receivables in November 2023, the Company reclassified its finance receivables to held for sale, which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The Company compared the fair value and amortized cost of finance receivables held for sale and recorded a held for sale valuation allowance through earnings to reduce the amortized cost basis to fair value. The sale of the finance receivables and repossessed assets of the consumer finance segment was completed on April 26, 2024. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the activities of discontinued operations.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classifies its leases at commencement. Operating leases are presented as right-of-use ("ROU") assets, and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities in the Company's balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation for lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset for the duration of the lease term.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date or acquisition date and determined using the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses a discount rate based on a benchmark approach to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to discount remaining lease payments. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable quality and derived imputed rates for lease term lengths ranging 3 to 8 years. The lease term may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. In addition, the Company does not recognize short term leases that have a term of twelve months or less as ROU assets or lease liabilities for all asset classes. The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component for all asset classes when the payments are fixed. As such, variable lease payments, including those not dependent on an index or rate, such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and other costs that are subject to fluctuation from period to period are not included in lease measurement.

Upon the acquisition of Amplex on June 15, 2024, the Company recorded lease liabilities and corresponding right of use assets of approximately $502 thousand, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for leases existing upon adoption of the new lease standard and other adjustments to the opening balance of right of use assets. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of payments. Additionally, after adjusting for the immaterial correction of an error of the Red Bug entities as a VIE, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities which should have initially been accounted for as part of the acquisition of Amplex of approximately $2.5 million. See Note 9 for additional detail on the Company's leasing arrangements.

Investments in Debt Securities

Old Market Capital Corporation and Amplex entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") entered into on February 15, 2024, as amended by the First Amendment dated April 26, 2024 and later amended by the Second Amendment dated June 15, 2024, pursuant to which Old Market Capital Corporation agreed to make one or more term loan advances ("Term Loan Advances" or "Term Loans") to Amplex in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $900 thousand. The Borrower agrees to make monthly payments of interest on each Term Loan Advance, commencing on March 1, 2024, and on the first day of each month thereafter. No payments of principal are due until the earlier of a) closing of a share purchase agreement (the "Transaction Closing Date") or b) in the event of terminating the negotiation of a share purchase agreement ("Triggering Event"), the first anniversary of the date of initial Term Loan Advance (the "Term Loan Maturity Date"). All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan Advance is due and payable in cash on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Amounts may be prepaid without penalty by giving five days written notice to the Lender. Interest is accrued on Term Loan Advances at an interest rate of 12.5% per annum.

Per the amended terms of the Term Loan Agreement, at the Transaction Closing Date, the outstanding debt from the Term Loan Advances shall automatically be converted into the number of common shares of Amplex determined by dividing the outstanding debt from the Term Loan Advances by the share purchase price (the "Converted Shares"). The Term Loans were converted upon the Transaction Closing Date as of June 15, 2024 (a total of approximately $754 thousand, comprised of $750 thousand of principal and $4 thousand of accrued interest) at the share purchase price of $1,792.55 per share into 421 shares of Amplex common stock.

As of March 31, 2024, the Term Loan Advance receivable was accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security and fair valued using "Level 3" inputs, which consist of unobservable inputs and reflect management's estimates of assumptions

18


 

that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The Company's Term Loan Advances were determined to be available-for-sale debt securities under ASC 320, Investments - Debt Securities. The Company estimated the fair value of the Term Loan Advances as of March 31, 2024 using a probability-weighted scenario-based model, which uses as inputs the estimated fair value of the Borrower's common stock, the estimated volatility of the Borrower's common stock, the time to expiration of the Term Loan Advances, the discount rate, the stated interest rate compared to the current market rate, and the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to expiration. The estimated fair value of the Borrower's common stock was based on the estimated closing price of the Amplex shares to the Company at the time of issuance. The estimated volatility of the Borrower's common stock was based on the observed volatility range of comparable publicly traded companies. The time to expiration was based on the probability of conversion prior to the contractual maturity date. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the time to expiration.

Between April 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024 the Company made Term Loan Advances to Amplex in the aggregate amount of $450 thousand. The Term Loan Advances were to be repaid at the earlier of a) the closing of the share purchase agreement and b) the first anniversary of the initial term loan advance date if the negotiations of the share purchase agreement are terminated. As mentioned above, the Term Loan Advances with a total outstanding principal and accrued interest of $754 thousand was converted into 421 shares of Amplex common stock from a selling shareholder at the share purchase price of $1,792.55 per share in conjunction with the closing of the share purchase agreement.

Dissenting Shares & Domestication

On November 22, 2023, OMCC, formerly known as Nicholas Financial, Inc., filed the initial Form S-4 related to the re-domestication (continuation) and Loan Portfolio Sale. Shareholders had the right to dissent to the continuation and the Loan Portfolio Sale under Section 309 of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”) (“Dissent Right”). Dissenting shareholders had the right to be paid the fair value of their shares (“Dissenting Shares”) under Section 245 of the BCBCA. Fair value was determined as of the close of business on the day before the Loan Portfolio Sale was approved by shareholders.

On April 15, 2024 (“Approval Date”), the stockholders of OMCC approved the re-domestication of the Company from Canada to Delaware and the Loan Portfolio Sale. There were 652,249 Dissenting Shares exercised in accordance with the Dissent Right. The Company determined the Dissenting Shares are within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are considered mandatorily redeemable as of the Approval Date and as such were classified as liabilities. Liability-classified instruments are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized through earnings for as long as the instruments continue to be classified as a liability. As of April 15, 2024, the Company determined the fair value of the Dissenting Shares was $4.5 million based on the Company’s stock price of $6.94.

On September 5, 2024, the Company settled in cash with the dissenting shareholders to repurchase 652,249 Dissenting Shares at a price per share of $8.63, or $5.6 million. The Dissenting Shares were retained by the Company to be included within treasury stock. In conjunction with the cash settlement, the Company recognized a loss on dissenting shareholders’ liability of $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, and derecognized the dissenting shareholders' liability. In addition, the repurchase of the Dissenting Shares (which were retained by the Company) were included within treasury stock as of the date of repurchase.

The following table summarizes the change in the Dissenting Shares liability measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, for which Level 3 inputs have been used to determine fair value:

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or nonrecurring basis and are presented with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, such as Term Loan Advances, dissenting shareholders’ liability and contingent liability. The Company's non-financial assets such as property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Fair value adjustments are made to these non-financial assets, on a nonrecurring basis, during the period an impairment charge is recognized, as applicable.

Certain of the Company's financial instruments are carried at fair value and are presented within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, such as money market funds included within cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, materials and supplies, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 - Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Loss Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings, disputes, or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

21


 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases along with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

As part of the recent acquisition of Amplex by Old Market Capital Corporation, goodwill was recorded on the books. The goodwill recorded on the books as a result of the acquisition of Amplex through a stock purchase does not have favorable tax treatment. It will not be amortized or deducted for tax purposes, and the tax basis of the acquired assets remains unchanged. This results in a permanent book-tax difference when the goodwill is recognized for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements from any such position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and Canada. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from the following sources:

1.
Wireless internet services – The Company offers these services to residential and commercial customers under standard monthly plans for 12-month periods. Contracts standard terms and conditions state a penalty for early termination; however, the Company normally waives this penalty. Standard monthly plans vary in price according to the amount of bandwidth provided and include installation and equipment. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, revenues from these services totaled approximately $1.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
2.
Fiber internet services – The Company offers these services to residential and commercial customers under standard monthly plans for 12-month periods. Fiber optic internet services provide higher speeds than wireless internet. Contracts are typically cancellable without penalty. Standard monthly plans vary in price according to the amount of bandwidth provided and include installation and equipment. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, revenues from these services totaled approximately $851 thousand and $1,730 thousand, respectively.
3.
Other – These services include primarily voice over IP (“VOIP”) telephone services to residential and commercial customers under 12-month periods. Contracts are typically cancellable without penalty. Standard monthly plans vary based on the features offered. Customers may purchase the equipment from the Company or a third-party vendor. In addition, the Company offers video streaming services through third-party providers. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, revenues from these services totaled approximately $424 thousand and $909 thousand, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers using a five-step model, which is described below:

22


 

1.
identify the customer contract;
2.
identify performance obligations that are distinct;
3.
determine the transaction price;
4.
allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
5.
recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Identify the customer contract

A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both the Company and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable. Specifically, the Company obtains written/electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.

Identify performance obligations that are distinct

A performance obligation is a promise by the Company to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies.

Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. The Company’s contracts may contain multiple performance obligations, for which the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price the Company would charge for a specific piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied

Revenues from wireless and fiber internet, VOIP services, and video streaming services are recognized ratably as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer. Revenues from equipment sales are recognized when control transfers to the customer, which occurs upon delivery.

Customers are billed in advance for services to be provided in the upcoming month. Once billed, payment from customers is due 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s agreements with its customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained.

Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company fulfills obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. The Company is contractually entitled to invoice in advance for services to be provided in the future. Accordingly, accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company recognizes

23


 

deferred revenue when consideration has been billed or received in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligation(s).

In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, these reporting requirements are not applicable. The majority of the Company’s remaining contracts meet one of the exemptions defined in ASC 606-10-50-14 through 606-10-50-14A, i.e., performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by their chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assesses performance. ASC 280 requires that a public enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, segment assets, information about the way operating segments were determined and other items.

The Company has two reportable segments: consumer finance and telecommunications. The consumer finance company segment is reported within discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company classifies noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company within temporary equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (“ASC 480-10-S99-3A”). The noncontrolling interest was recorded outside of shareholders’ equity because the noncontrolling interest provided the holder with put rights which allows the holder to compel the Company to purchase Amplex common stock at a variable amount per share at any time following the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Amplex acquisition but prior to the fifteenth anniversary of the closing date of the Amplex acquisition. During this time period, the put option may be exercised by the holder at any time after 90 days prior written notice, which is considered not solely within the Company’s control. The Company determined the put option is not within the scope of ASC 480-10 to be recorded as a liability at fair value and will not subsequently adjust for changes in fair value. The Company adjusts redeemable noncontrolling interests for the portion of net loss attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interests and for the change in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interest for the incremental value the NCI holder may ultimately be entitled to. When the redemption amount of redeemable noncontrolling interest exceeds the fair value, the Company has made an accounting policy election to reflect as a deemed dividend the entire change in the redemption amount (see Note 5). For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $154 thousand for its redeemable noncontrolling interest to adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption value, after giving effect to the change in its carrying amount from the net income (loss) attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest. As of December 31, 2024, the book value of this interest was approximately $14.2 million and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Reclassifications

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that the consumer finance company segment met the criteria for discontinued operations classification. As a result, the Company made reclassifications to include certain prior year amounts within discontinued operations and assets held for sale in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows. See Note 13 Discontinued Operations for further details.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" (“ASU 2023-07”). This ASU requires interim and annual disclosure of significant segment expenses

24


 

that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss, requires interim disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, requires disclosure of the position and title of the CODM, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contains other disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). This ASU requires that reporting entities disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information about income taxes paid. The authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance and does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FiASB Concepts Statements.

Note 3. Business Combination

On June 15, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Company closed a share purchase agreement to acquire Amplex from the sellers (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase 51% of the issued and outstanding common shares, no par value per share, of Amplex and the Company agreed to make payment to holders of options for Amplex’s common shares in consideration of cancellation of such options for total purchase consideration of $18.4 million, which was paid in cash on the date of closing (the "Amplex Acquisition"). Amplex is an Ohio-based provider of rural broadband services to business and residential customers. The Company acquired Amplex in order to provide better shareholder value over time. The financial results of Amplex have been included within the condensed consolidated financial statements since the Closing Date.

In conjunction with the closing of the Amplex Acquisition, the Company converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest of approximately $0.8 million under the Term Loan Advances into 421 shares of Amplex common stock at the share purchase price of $1,792.55 and purchased an additional 1,674 shares of Amplex common stock at a price of $1,792.55 per share for a total of $3.0 million. These transactions concurrently executed at the Transaction Closing Date increased the Company's ownership in Amplex to 56.5%. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement whereby the Company invested an additional $4.5 million into Amplex, increasing the Company's ownership percentage to 61%.

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Amplex Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is the excess purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair

25


 

value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Amplex Acquisition. The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets.

The fair value of the subscriber relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. This method reflects the present value of the operating cash flows generated by this asset after taking into account the cost to realize the revenue, and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the time value and risk associated with the invested capital. The Company utilized the relief-from-royalty method, a form of both the market and income approach, to determine the fair value of the trade names. Under this method, it is assumed that if the Company did not own the intangible asset, it would be willing to pay a royalty for its use. Internally developed software was valued using a cost approach, specifically the cost to re-create method. The cost to re-create method considers the cost required to recreate an identical asset considering current prices of direct and indirect costs. These costs are then adjusted for the developers’ profit, which reflects the expected return on the direct and indirect costs, and opportunity cost, which represents the forgone returns during the period when the asset is being developed. The Citizens Broadband Radio Service FCC license ("CBRS FCC license") was valued using a cost approach, specifically, the cost incurred by the business in acquiring the CBRS FCC license. In determining the fair value of the property, plant, and equipment, the Company used a combination of various valuation techniques including the income approach, the cost approach, and the market approach.

The Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest recognized and redeemable as of the Closing Date were as follows:

Note 4. Revenue and Deferred Revenue

Revenue

The Company sells its goods and services to customers primarily under contracts with stated terms of 12 months. The Company’s standard terms and conditions state a penalty for early termination of wireless internet service contracts; however, the Company normally waives this penalty. Disaggregated revenues are presented in the accompanying statements of operations.

Contract Liability

The Company recorded a current contract liability balance of $564 thousand as of December 31, 2024, which represents amounts billed or collected in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligations for the upcoming month.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share

The Company has granted stock compensation awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights which are considered participating securities. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, as such awards are more dilutive under this method than the treasury stock method. Ordinarily, basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities. The Company's participating securities are non-vested restricted shares which are not required to share losses, and accordingly, are not allocated losses in periods of net loss. Dilutive earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards. In a period of loss, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, as the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interest is redeemable at an amount other than fair value, the Company has made an accounting policy election to reflect the entire adjustment to the carrying value as a deemed dividend. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $154 thousand for its redeemable noncontrolling interest to adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption value, after giving effect to the change in its carrying amount from the net income (loss) attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest. The deemed dividend adjustment to record this redeemable noncontrolling interest at its redemption value was recorded to additional paid-in capital and there were no further adjustments to the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the purposes of calculating basic and dilutive loss per share. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive comprise 5 thousand and 10 thousand shares from options to purchase common shares, respectively.

Loss and income per share has been computed based on the following weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

The Company’s weighted-average interest rate on its short-term borrowings outstanding under its outstanding debt agreements for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was 4.73%.

 

RUS Loan - On September 23, 2024, Amplex entered into a Reconnect Program Loan and Security Agreement (the “RUS Loan”) with the United States of America acting through the Administrator of the Rural Electric Services (“RUS”), pursuant to which RUS has extended Amplex a secured loan in the principal amount of up to $21,341,792 (the “Loan”). The purpose of the Loan is to finance the construction of a broadband infrastructure project to serve rural areas where at least 50% of the households are without sufficient access to broadband.

Amplex has five years to draw funds under the Loan Agreement, which expires on October 31, 2029. The Loan is secured by all of Amplex’s assets. The Loan bears interest at a rate of 2% per annum, calculated by daily accrual. All accrued interest and principal on advances will be deferred for a three year period ending on October 31, 2027, unless earlier payment is made by Amplex. At the end of the three-year deferral period, all unpaid accrued interest will be capitalized and added to the outstanding principal, and monthly payments will be established in an amount that amortizes the outstanding balance in equal payments over the remaining term of the Loan. The principal advanced pursuant to this Agreement and remaining unpaid, if any, and interest thereon, shall be due and payable on October 31, 2046. All, or a portion of the outstanding balance, of any advance made under the Loan Agreement may be prepaid on any payment date without penalty.

The obligation of RUS to advance funds to Amplex under the Loan Agreement is subject to conditions that are customary for loans made by RUS, including the accuracy of Amplex’s representations and warranties, no material adverse effect with respect to Amplex, no event of default, receipt of a financial requirement statement from Amplex, current financial statements, compliance with buildout timelines, material compliance with the Loan Agreement, obtaining specified permits, licenses and franchises and maintenance of on deposit in a pledged deposit account of required matching funds for completion of projects. Other conditions include Amplex having positive cash flow from operations at the end of the fifth year of an award under the Loan Agreement and providing the specified level of broadband service for the period specified in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains negative covenants of Amplex that are customary for loans made by RUS, including Amplex not merging, consolidating, reorganizing or selling, leasing or transferring a substantial part of its property without RUS’ prior written consent, not incurring additional debt with specified exceptions, Amplex not changing its principal place or place of business without RUS’ consent and not issuing preferred stock without RUS’ consent. RUS may suspend advances if Amplex suffers a material adverse effect or an event of default occurs.

30


 

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including materially incorrect representations and warranties, nonpayment of the Loan, improper expenditures, failure to keep adequate records, failure to build in accordance with timelines, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation and impairment of business. If an event of default occurs, RUS could restrict Amplex’s ability to obtain additional advances under the Loan Agreement, accelerate all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, enforce their interest against collateral pledged under the Loan Agreement or enforce such other rights and remedies as they have under the loan documents or applicable law as secured lenders.

Bank Equipment Loans - In November 2024, the Company entered into two equipment finance agreements with a lender to provide financing for the Company to enable the purchase of certain pieces of equipment fixed assets. The loans are secured by the pieces of equipment for which the financing agreements were entered into for purchase. The Bank Equipment Loans contain customary covenants and events of default, including materially incorrect representations and warranties, nonpayment of the loans, and failure to maintain proper registrations, titles, permits, licenses, and insurance policies covering the equipment. The interest accrues at a rate indexed to the "ICE Swap Rate - USD rates SOFR 1100" as published by Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., up to a maximum of 18% per annum. Payments on the loans are due monthly, and the loans mature in November 2026.

Note 9. Leases

The Company's operating leases for its equipment and specialized spaces for company equipment have terms expiring at various dates through June 2033. Certain lease arrangements include renewal options and escalation clauses.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

As previously stated, Amplex leases certain property (including an office building) and warehouse building from the Red Bug Entities (See Notes 1 and 2). The Red Bug Entities are considered related parties under ASC 850, Related Parties. The Red Bug Entities were created by, and are majority-owned by Amplex's Chief Executive Officer. We consider our leasing arrangements with the Red Bug Entities to be arms-length transactions. The office building lease calls for monthly payments of approximately $13 thousand for the duration of the fifteen year lease term that runs through December 14, 2031. The warehouse building lease calls for monthly payments of approximately $15 thousand, with annual price increases being indexed to the Consumer Price Index, for the duration of the fifteen year lease term that runs through July 31, 2038. As of December 31, 2024, the connected ROU assets and liabilities recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets equaled approximately $2,462 thousand. Corresponding operating lease expenses of $83 thousand and $192 thousand have been recorded within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. No balances or activity related to these leases are reflected in the December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet or the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 given Amplex was not consolidated within the Company financial statements during fiscal year 2024. The Company has no other material related party transactions requiring disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The amounts recorded for operating lease expenses include short-term leases, which are immaterial. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded $56 thousand in impairment charges related to operating lease

right-of-use assets which is included within general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 as the Company had planned to close their Clearwater office location in December 2024. On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into a termination of lease agreement in connection with the Clearwater office location with an effective termination date of January 31, 2025. After executing the termination of lease agreement, the Company recorded a Gain on Lease Settlement of $0 thousand, reflecting the difference between the lease liability for the Clearwater office location as of the date of the termination of lease agreement and the total amount due to the Lessor as a result of the termination.

On December 2, 2024 the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new office space in Omaha, Nebraska. The lease term will commence on March 1, 2025 and the total future minimum lease payments under the agreement, excluding the effect of discounting, are expected to be $112 thousand.

 

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings in the normal course of business of which one, if decided adversely to the Company, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Claims and legal proceedings relating to discontinued operations

Specifically, the Company has been sued together with several other defendants, in a lawsuit styled: Nicholas Financial, Inc. v. Jeremiah Gross, No. 21CY-CV02148-01, 7th Judicial Circuit, Clay County, Missouri. On March 9, 2021 the Company filed suit against Jeremiah Gross for a deficiency balance owed the Company following the 2018 surrender and sale of his motor vehicle which secured a loan from the Company. On April 22, 2021 a default judgment for $7,984 was entered against Gross. On December 22, 2021 Gross filed a motion to set aside the default judgment. The Court granted his motion on March 23, 2022. In his answer he asserted a class-action counterclaim against the Company seeking to represent a Nationwide class of the Company’s customers who received allegedly deficient notices regarding the sale of their vehicles and whose vehicles were recovered and sold by the Company, and on behalf of Missouri customers who received allegedly deficient notices from the Company regarding the sale of their recovered vehicles and the calculation of the deficiency owed the Company. The Company filed its answer to the counterclaim on May 13, 2022. On September 9, 2022 the Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to all counts of the counterclaim and Nicholas Financial, Inc.’s claim against Gross. The motion was argued on February 16, 2023. On March 27, 2023 the Court entered an order granting the motion in part and denying the motion in part. The Court found in favor of Nicholas Financial, Inc. as to the counterclaim regarding presale notices and prejudgment interest and in Gross’s favor for the counterclaim as to post-sale notices. The Court also denied Nicholas Financial, Inc.’s motion for summary judgment as to its claim for a deficiency against Gross. The remaining claim related to post sale notices sent to Missouri customers. The parties, including the Company’s insurer Gemini, settled the case and the Court entered a Final Approval Order on May 15, 2024 which found the Agreement to have been entered into in good faith and approving the Company’s assignment to the Class of the Company’s claims against certain insurers, brokers, and agents. Further, the Court approved the settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate as to, and in the best interests of, each of the Parties and the Settlement Class members and in full compliance with all requirements of the laws of Missouri, the United States Constitution (including the Due Process Clause), and any other applicable law. The Court directed the parties to the Lawsuit to implement and consummate the Agreement pursuant to its terms and provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Court entered a Final Judgment against the Company in favor of the Class. In the Final Judgment, the Court held that other than the funds to be paid by Gemini Insurance Company on behalf of the Company, the Company had no obligation to satisfy the judgment, and that any remaining amount may only be satisfied from the Company’s Insurers and Insurance Agents other than Gemini Insurance Company.

On May 15, 2024, Gross filed on behalf of the Class, as assignee of the Company, a Cross-Claim in the underlying lawsuit against American Zurich Insurance Company (“AZIC”), American Guarantee and Liability Insurance Company (“AGLIC”), and Zurich American Insurance Company (“ZAIC” and collectively with AZIC and AGLIC, “Zurich”), for breach of contract, breach of the duty to defend, and bad faith failure to defend or settle (“Cross-Claim”). On June 14, 2024, Zurich filed a Motion to Amend the Final Judgment and a Notice of Removal of the Cross-Claim, seeking to remove

34


 

the Cross-Claim to federal court in the Western District of Missouri. In its Notice of Removal, Zurich acknowledged that the Company is no longer a proper party to the Lawsuit “because all the claims against it are resolved by the Final Judgment.” On June 24, 2024, Zurich filed a Notice of Appeal of the Final Judgment.

Claims and legal proceedings relating to continuing operations

Armstrong Teasdale LLP reported the following updates based on recent events and the information available to it as of November 1, 2024:

On August 14, 2024, the federal court in the Western District of Missouri granted Gross’s (Class Representative’s) motion to remand the Cross-Claim against Zurich, which means the action was reinstated that day in the state Circuit Court. Shortly after the remand, on September 5, 2024, the state court granted a joint motion by Gross and Zurich to stay the state court action pending the state Appeals Court’s disposition of Zurich’s appeal, which is still undecided.

Because of the pending motion to amend and the pending appeal, the Final Judgment is not yet final, which means the funding deadline for Gemini Insurance Company’s payment to the Class on behalf of the Company has not yet been triggered. The stay entered by the state court will likely not affect the finality of the Final Judgment.

Armstrong Teasdale LLP has been informed that Gross and Zurich participated in a mediation on October 9, and that they reached a global settlement of their disputes; however, a settlement agreement is apparently still being prepared, and the reported settlement is not yet final.

It is likely that Gemini Insurance Company’s funding deadline will occur 14 business days following the later of: November 22, 2024 (which is based on a statutory determination of automatic judgment finality, assuming no other appeals of the Final Approval Order or Final Judgment have been filed); or the date of the Court of Appeals’ disposition of the existing appeal or the effective date of any settlement agreement between Gross and Zurich, whichever of those two happens first (assuming the settlement between Gross and Zurich resolves the pending appeal and forecloses Zurich from pursuing any additional appeals).

However, Armstrong Teasdale LLP advised that it is still waiting to review the final written terms of the reported settlement between Gross and Zurich, and that it must review those terms in order to be in a position to provide the Company with a higher level of certainty regarding the date by which Gemini Insurance Company will be required to fund the Class payment (which will satisfy the Company’s remaining obligation pursuant to the Class Settlement Agreement).

Armstrong Teasdale advised that based on the information currently available, it still expects the Final Judgment to become final eventually, either as it is, or in a slightly modified version.

Note 11. Stock Plans

In May 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of up to $8.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or through other structures in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The authorization was effective immediately.

The timing and actual number of shares will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. The Company’s stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

In August 2019, the Company’s Board authorized an additional repurchase of up to $1.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares.

On September 5, 2024, the Company settled in cash with the dissenting shareholders to repurchase the 652,249 Dissenting Shares at a price per share of $8.63, or $5.6 million (as discussed in Note 2). The Dissenting Shares were retained by the Company to be included within treasury stock.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes reflects an effective U.S. tax rate, which differs from the corporate tax rate for the following reasons:

The Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $60 thousand and $0 from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also recorded an income tax expense of approximately $35 thousand and $0 from continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The tax expense is primarily related to the newly acquired entity Amplex. Amplex was acquired during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and will be consolidated for GAAP purposes, while continuing to file a separate federal tax return.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had federal and state net operating losses ("NOL") of approximately $44.6 million and $59.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired federal NOLs of approximately $5.8 million related to the Amplex acquisition. The federal NOLs generated for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, will carryforward indefinitely. Generally, state NOLs begin to expire December 31, 2039. In accordance with Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the usage of the Company's NOL carryforwards is subject to annual limitations following greater than 50% ownership changes. Tax returns for the years ended 2021 through 2024 are subject to review by tax authorities.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was -0.48% and 0%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was -14.81% and 0%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate from the comparison of 2024 and 2023, as noted above, primarily relates to the operations of Amplex. The Company records a valuation allowance for OMCC since there is not sufficient evidence of future earnings to support a position that it will be more likely than not to realize its net deferred tax asset.

 

Note 13. Discontinued Operations

On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Westlake Financial, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its finance receivables and all of its repossessed assets. In connection with

36


 

the entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company ceased new loan originations of contracts and direct loans. On April 26, 2024, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed with an aggregate purchase price of $65.6 million, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Westlake Financial was due to make additional payments to the Company based on a percentage of cash collections received over a predetermined threshold on the loan portfolio from September 30, 2023 through the closing of the disposition. On April 26, 2024, Westlake Financial made a $40.6 million payment to the Company at the closing of the disposition.

Subsequent to closing, the Company and Westlake Financial determined that Westlake Financial overpaid the Company $2.6 million. The Company accordingly recorded a $2.6 million contingent liability while negotiations took place until a settlement could be reached on the established contingent consideration.

On July 25, 2024, the arrangement between the Company and Westlake regarding a reconciliation of the initial payment to Nicholas Financial, escrow, and contingent consideration was settled, which resulted in the Company paying Westlake Financial $2.4 million and waiving the right to any future contingent payments from Westlake Financial as originally stated in the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the sale of the Company's finance receivables and repossessed assets to Westlake, the Company recognized a gain of $1.7 million, calculated as the excess of the total consideration over the carrying value of the finance receivables and repossessed assets sold to Westlake. The disposition of the finance receivables and all of its repossessed assets represents a strategic shift in the business based on the total assets, revenue, and net income of the segment sold to Westlake in comparison to the financial information of the Company as a whole.

Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, may not be indicative of our future results.

Overview

Old Market Capital Corporation ("OMCC") is a specialized consumer finance company engaged primarily in acquiring and servicing automobile finance installment contracts for purchases of used and new automobiles and light trucks incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware with a wholly owned subsidiary, Nicholas Data Services, Inc. ("NDS"). NDS historically was engaged in supporting and updating industry specific computer application software for small businesses located primarily in the Southeastern United States. NDS has ceased its operations; however, it continues as the interim holding company for Old Market Capital Corporation. OMCC and NDS are based in Florida, U.S.A.

Change in Operating Strategy

On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Westlake Services, LLC dba Westlake Financial, a California limited liability company ("Westlake Financial"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell substantially all of the Company's finance receivables and all of its repossessed assets. On April 26, 2024, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed.

On June 15, 2024, Old Market Capital Corporation closed upon the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Amplex Electric Inc, which was placed into a newly formed entity Amplex Holdings, Inc. ("Amplex"). Amplex is a provider of broadband internet, voice over internet protocol (VOIP), and video services within service areas located primarily in Northwest and North Central Ohio. As of December 31, 2024, Amplex had approximately 12,850 broadband customers (4,100 fiber subscribers) and over 11,000 fiber passings completed.

Concurrently, on June 15, 2024, the Company converted the outstanding principal of $0.8 million under the Term Loan Advances into 421 shares of Amplex common stock at the Share Purchase Price of $1,792.55 and purchased 1,674 shares of Amplex common stock at the same Share Purchase Price for a purchase price of $3.0 million (collectively, the "Additional NICK Closing Stock"). These transactions concurrently executed at the Transaction Closing Date increased the Company's ownership in Amplex to 56.5%. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement whereby the Company invested an additional $4.5 million into Amplex, increasing the Company's ownership percentage to 61%.

How We Generate Revenues and Evaluate our Business

The Company generates revenues primarily through customer contracts and provides wireless internet services, fiber internet services, and other services including voice over telephone services. The Company fulfills obligations and recognizes revenue under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration

39


 

from the customer. Payments received or consideration billed in advance are recorded as deferred revenue. Further, the Company records accounts receivable for services billed in advance.

Operating income (loss) is a key metric that we use to evaluate segment operating performance and to determine resource allocation between segments. We define operating income (loss) as revenues less operating expenses. Operating expenses include cost of wireless and fiber internet services, cost of other revenue, plant specific and nonspecific operations expenses, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Revenue totaled $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to additional services the Company now provides from the acquisition of Amplex that were not provided in the prior period. Through acquiring Amplex, the Company now provides wireless internet services, fiber internet services, and other services including VOIP telephone and video streaming. Further, with the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's revenue is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Cost of Wireless and Fiber Internet Services and Cost of Other Revenue of Continuing Operations

Cost of wireless and fiber internet services totaled $167 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. In addition, cost of other revenue totaled $211 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. As discussed above, the Company now provides wireless internet, fiber internet, and other services in conjunction with its acquisition of Amplex. Therefore, the cost of wireless and fiber internet services and cost of other revenue increased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the prior period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's cost of wireless and fiber internet services and cost of other revenue is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Plant Specific and Plant Nonspecific Operations of Continuing Operations

Plant specific and plant nonspecific operations expenses totaled $648 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Due to the Company's acquisition of Amplex, the Company began providing additional services during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that were not provided in prior periods. Therefore, plant specific and nonspecific operations expenses increased for the three months ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the prior period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's plant specific and nonspecific operations expenses are not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

General and Administrative Expenses of Continuing Operations

General and administrative expenses totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.7 million three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to additional professional fees and restructuring expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of Amplex which was acquired by the Company during the period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's general and administrative expenses are not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses of Continuing Operations

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $501 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $22 thousand three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to an increase in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets resulting from the Company's acquisition of Amplex. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's depreciation and amortization expense is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of $10 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in income for three months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in credit losses due to the sale of the finance receivables and repossessed assets to Westlake when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Cost of wireless and fiber internet services totaled $354 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. In addition, cost of other revenue totaled $456 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. As discussed above, the Company now provides wireless internet, fiber internet, and other services in conjunction with its acquisition of Amplex. Therefore, the cost of wireless and fiber internet services and cost of other revenue increased during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and when compared to the prior period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's cost of wireless and fiber internet services and cost of other revenue is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Plant Specific and Plant Nonspecific Operations of Continuing Operations

Plant specific and plant nonspecific operations expenses totaled $1,311 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. Due to the Company's acquisition of Amplex, the Company began providing additional services during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 that were not provided in prior periods. Therefore, plant specific and nonspecific operations expenses increased for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the prior period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's plant specific and nonspecific operations expenses are not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

General and Administrative Expenses of Continuing Operations

General and administrative expenses totaled $8.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.8 million nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to additional professional fees and restructuring expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of Amplex which was acquired by the Company during the period. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's general and administrative expenses are not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses of Continuing Operations

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1,073 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $66 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to an increase in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets resulting from the Company's acquisition of Amplex. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's depreciation and amortization expense is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Emigration Tax Expense of Continuing Operations

Emigration tax expense was $1.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in emigration tax expense in the current period is due to the Company completing its continuation and domestication from a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as of April 18, 2024.

Loss on Dissenting Shareholders' Liability of Continuing Operations

Loss on dissenting shareholders' liability was $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in loss on dissenting shareholders' liability is a result of the change in fair value of the liability during the period that represents the amount owed to dissenting shareholders from the sale of assets to Westlake. As of December 31, 2024, the Company settled the total amount owed to the dissenting shareholders.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was $3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the loss of $15.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in income for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses and a decrease in credit losses due to the sale of the finance receivables and repossessed assets to Westlake when compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company closed on the Share Purchase Agreement with Amplex, in which the Company purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding common shares, no par value per share, of Amplex and to make payment to holders of options for Amplex’s common shares in consideration of cancellation of such options for total purchase consideration of $18.4 million. In conjunction with the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest of approximately $0.8 million under the Term Loan Advances into 421 shares of Amplex common stock at the Share Purchase Price of $1,792.55 and purchased an additional 1,674 shares of Amplex common stock at the share purchase price of $1,792.55 per share for a purchase price of $3.0 million. For further details of the acquisition, refer to Note 3.

The Company's cash flows are summarized as follows:

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 when compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash (used in) provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $16.5 million, noncash charge of $1.1 million for the loss on dissenting shareholders' liability, and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations of $22.3 million. Further, with the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's change in cash provided by operating activities is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to $18.4 million of cash paid for the acquisition of Amplex in June 2024, partially offset by an increase in net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations of $74.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023. With the Company's Purchase Agreement in April of 2024 and the acquisition in June of 2024, the Company's change in cash provided by investing activities is not comparable on a year-over-year basis.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of $5.6 million worth of shares of common stock held by dissenting shareholders, offset by the proceeds long-term debt of $615 thousand during the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2024. Part of our growth strategy, however, is to acquire businesses. We would anticipate funding such activity through cash on hand, the issuance of debt, Common Stock, restricted stock units, and warrants for our Common Stock or a combination thereof.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A critical accounting estimate is an estimate that: (i) is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) involved a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (iii) has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

There have been changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K related to the Company’s acquisition of Amplex which closed June 15, 2024. We revised our critical policies relating to principles of consolidation, trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts, and revenue recognition.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP”). Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Business Combinations

We account for our business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires us to determine the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, to properly allocate the purchase price to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed and record any residual purchase price as goodwill in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. We identify and attribute fair values and estimated lives to the intangible assets acquired and allocate the total cost of an acquisition to the underlying net assets based on their respective estimated fair values. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and involves the use of significant estimates, including projections of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates and asset lives. These determinations will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization expense recognized in future periods. Contingent consideration is initially recorded at its fair value at the acquisition date and is revalued every financial reporting date thereafter. Adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities after the completion of acquisition accounting are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe are reasonable but recognize that the assumptions are inherently uncertain.

If the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported to present information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Once the measurement period ends, which in no case extends beyond one year from the acquisition date, revisions to the accounting for the business combination are recorded in earnings.

All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Credit losses

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of allowance for credit losses, if applicable, and are unsecured and do not bear interest.

45


 

The allowance for credit losses is based on the probability of future collection under the current expect credited loss impairment model under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Assets. Under the CECL impairment model, we determine the allowance by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using our historical loss rate. We also consider reasonable and supportable current information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as macroeconomic trends or other factors including customers’ credit risk and historical loss experience. There is significant judgment applied in estimating the allowance for credit losses. These assumptions and estimates are susceptible to significant changes based on the current environment.

The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the balance is deemed uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Changes in the allowance are recorded as adjustments to bad debt expense in the period incurred.

Discontinued Operations

We record discontinued operations when the disposal of a separately identified business unit constitutes a strategic shift in our operations, as defined in ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations.

Contingent Liability

We have been, and may in the future be, involved in legal proceedings which are subject to significant uncertainty. We record an estimated loss for a contingency in our condensed consolidated financial statements for these matters as a charge to income when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information becomes known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. In determining whether a loss should be recorded or adjusted, management evaluates several factors, including advice from outside legal counsel, in order to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss or range of reasonably possible loss. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. If a loss is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose the loss contingency and an estimate of possible loss or range of loss (unless such an estimate cannot be made). Changes in these factors could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and operating cash flows for any particular quarter or year. We do not recognize gain contingencies until they are realized. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 2 and Note 12 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

Certain of our assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value either on a recurring or nonrecurring basis and are presented with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, such as Term Loan Advances, dissenting shareholders’ liability and contingent liability. Our non-financial assets such as property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Fair value adjustments are made to these non-financial assets, on a nonrecurring basis, during the period an impairment charge is recognized, as applicable.

46


 

Certain of our financial instruments are carried at fair value and are presented within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, such as money market funds included within cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, materials and supplies, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, we recognize revenue from contracts with customers using the five-step model:

1.
identify the customer contract;
2.
identify performance obligations that are distinct;
3.
determine the transaction price;
4.
allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
5.
recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

We generate revenues primarily from our wireless internet services, fiber internet services, and other services.

Identify the customer contract

A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both us and our customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable. Specifically, we obtain written/electronic signatures on contracts and purchase orders, if said purchase orders are issued in the normal course of business by the customer.

Identify performance obligations that are distinct

A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies.

Allocate the transaction price to distinct performance obligations

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer. Our contracts may contain multiple performance obligations, for which we account for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The standalone selling price reflects the price we would charge for a specific piece of equipment or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied

Revenues from wireless and fiber internet, VOIP services, and video streaming services are recognized ratably as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised product or service to a customer. Revenues from equipment sales are recognized when control transfers to the customer, which occurs upon delivery.

47


 

Customers are billed in advance for services to be provided in the upcoming month. Once billed, payment from customers is due 30 days from the invoice date. Our agreements with our customers do not provide for any refunds for services or products and therefore no specific reserve for such is maintained.

Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

We fulfill obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. There are no contract assets related to performance under the contract. We are contractually entitled to invoice in advance for services to be provided in the future. Accordingly, accounts receivable are recorded when the customer has been billed or the right to consideration is unconditional. We recognize deferred revenue when consideration has been billed or received in advance of our satisfaction of our performance obligation(s).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable level of assurance as of December 31, 2024, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to non-routine transactions which lead to the correction of errors with respect to the (a) application of complex technical accounting standards related to the presentation and measurement of certain equity and liability instruments from the re-domestication and (b) initial and subsequent measurement of redeemable noncontrolling interest, certain acquired assets and deferred tax liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a controlling interest in Amplex and the consolidation of smaller leasing entities for which a variable interest did not exist.

The Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud due to inherent limitations of internal controls. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

While the Company believes that its efforts for remediation, once implemented, will improve the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, these remediation efforts have been ongoing and will require more time to operate for management to be able to conclude that the design is effective to remediate the material weakness identified. The Company may conclude that additional measures will be necessary to remediate the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional evaluation and implementation time.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the weaknesses noted above management is in the process of establishing and is refining its internal procedures and controls to ensure the accounting around future complex transactions are thoroughly reviewed with external consultants specializing in the specific transactions identified.

On June 15, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Amplex (Refer to Note 3 – Business Combination in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the Amplex acquisition). In accordance with the general guidance issued by the staff of the SEC, Amplex will be excluded from the scope of management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending March 31, 2025. As part of the ongoing integration of Amplex, we are in the process of incorporating the controls and related procedures.

In connection with the acquisition, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Other than as described above, during the most recent fiscal quarter, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on Amplex.

Weak economic conditions may have a negative impact on Amplex. A substantial portion of the Amplex revenue comes from customers whose spending patterns may be affected by prevailing economic conditions. Weak economic conditions in the United States affect demand for Amplex products and services and have a negative impact on results of operations. For example, weak economic conditions will likely impact Amplex customers’ discretionary spending and as a result, they may reduce the level of services to which they subscribe or may discontinue subscribing to one or more of the Amplex services altogether. This risk may be increased by the expanded availability of free or lower cost competitive services, such as certain streaming services, or substitute services for broadband and voice services, such as wireless and public Wi-Fi networks.

Amplex is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations.

Amplex is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. In particular, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”) and Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations and policies affect significant aspects of Amplex. Federal agencies are considering adopting new regulations for communications services, including broadband. States and localities are also increasingly proposing new regulations impacting communications services, including broader regulation of broadband networks. Any of these regulations could significantly affect the business, legal and compliance costs of Amplex. In addition, United States regulators and courts could adopt new interpretations of existing competition or antitrust laws or enact new competition or antitrust laws or regulatory tools that could negatively impact Amplex. Any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative actions may adversely impact the Amplex business by increasing Amplex costs, increasing competition, or imposing additional restrictions on Amplex, some of which may be significant and/or limiting the ability of Amplex to offer services in a manner that would maximize its revenue potential.

Legislative and regulatory changes have in the past, and could in the future, include, for example, the reclassification of Internet services as regulated telecommunications services or other utility-style regulation of Internet services; restrictions on how Amplex manages its Internet access services and networks; the adoption of new customer service or service quality requirements for Amplex Internet access services; the adoption of new privacy restrictions on the collection, use and disclosure of certain customer information by Amplex; new data security and cybersecurity mandates that could result in additional network and information security and cyber incident reporting requirements for Amplex; new restraints on the discretion of Amplex over programming decisions; new restrictions on the rates Amplex charges to consumers for one or more of the services or equipment options offered by Amplex; and increases in government-administered broadband subsidies to rural areas that could result in subsidized overbuilding of Amplex facilities.

The broadband services of Amplex are subject to a number of regulations and commitments. The FCC frequently considers imposing new broadband-related regulations. States and localities also periodically consider new broadband-related regulations, including those regarding broadband affordability. New broadband regulations, if adopted, may have adverse effects on Amplex. Amplex may also become subject to additional broadband-related commitments as a condition of receiving federal or state broadband funding. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on Amplex.
