IMPERALIS HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
Imperalis Holding Corp. d/b/a TurnOnGreen, Inc. (“IMHC” or “Imperalis”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries Digital Power Corporation (“Digital Power” or “DPC”) and TOG Technologies Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), is an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) electrification infrastructure solutions and premium custom power products company. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and sells highly engineered, feature-rich, high-grade power conversion systems and power system solutions for mission-critical applications and processes electronic products as well as EV charging solutions to diverse industries, markets and sectors including e-Mobility, medical, military, telecommunications, and industrial.
IMHC was incorporated in Nevada on April 5, 2005 and is a subsidiary of Ault Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent” or “Ault”) and currently operates as a reporting segment of Ault.
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating and net losses that have not provided sufficient cash flows. Management believes that the Company will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter until at least the time it begins significant deliveries of its products. The Company’s inability to continue as a going concern could have a negative impact on the Company, including its ability to obtain needed financing. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely through the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other sources, including term notes until such time as funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Although management believes that such capital sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed in order to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP. The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 5, 2023.
Significant Accounting Policies
Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 5, 2023.
New Accounting Guidance – Recently Adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment approach in legacy U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects future credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which reflects losses that are probable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which pushes back the effective date for public business entities that are smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) as of January 1, 2023, and the adoption had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 8 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company accounts for its preferred stock series A subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company’s series A preferred stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and no longer subject to the occurrence of certain future events. Accordingly, 25,000 shares of series A preferred stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as a current liability in the Company’s balance sheet.

Allocation of General Corporate Expenses
Ault provides human resources, accounting, and other services to the Company. The Company obtains its business insurance under Ault. The accompanying financial statements include allocations of these expenses. The allocation method calculates the appropriate share of overhead costs to the Company by using the Company’s revenue as a percentage of total revenue of Ault. The Company believes the allocation methodology used is reasonable and has been consistently applied, and results in an appropriate allocation of costs incurred. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the cost had the Company been a stand-alone entity or of future services. Ault allocated $123,000 and $346,000 of costs in the three and six month period ended September 30, 2023, respectively that have been included in related party notes payable (see below).

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Matters
The Company is involved in litigation arising from other matters in the ordinary course of business. The Company is regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.
Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative, substantial or indeterminate monetary amounts. The Company records an undiscounted liability for contingent losses, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, when the Company considers it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss. The Company evaluates developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and makes adjustments as additional information becomes available. Significant judgment is required to determine both the likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters.
Gordon v. Digital Power Corporation
On or about November 21, 2019, the plaintiff-William Gordon, filed a complaint against defendant, DPC, alleging wrongful termination and disability discrimination. The arbitration was conducted during October 2022. Aside from the opening and responding trial briefs, the arbitrator requested additional briefing on two subjects, undisclosed principal liability, and disclosed principal liability, both of which were submitted. In May 2023 the arbitrator entered a final award against the Company and in favor of Mr. Gordon in the amount of $1,065,621 inclusive of interest, legal fees, administrative fees and expenses. The award was based on Mr. Gordon’s employment agreement with DPC, and Mr. Gordon’s promissory note with Coolisys Technologies Corp. aka DPC. Mr. Gordon was deemed the prevailing party.
The Company has accrued $1.1 million in connection with legal contingencies as of September 30, 2023 and $681,000 as of December 31, 2022.
Non-cancelable Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable obligations with certain parties to purchase services, such as technology equipment and subscription-based cloud service arrangements. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding non-cancelable purchase obligations with terms of one year or longer aggregating $30,000 and $0, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
| 12 |
The Company excluded the potential common stock equivalents outstanding from the calculation of diluted weighted average net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, which would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss from continuing operations in those periods.
Anti-dilutive securities, which are convertible into or exercisable for the Company’s common stock, consisted of the following at September 30, 2023 and 2022:
| Schedule of anti dilutive securities excluded from computation of earnings per share | ||||||||

Revenue and Gross (Loss) Profit
During the three month period ended September 30, 2023, we had decreased revenues of $661,000 and decreased gross profits of $868,000 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to our decreased sales in the three month period ended September 30, 2023, related to large projects which were discontinued in 2022, that drove increased production and deliveries in 2022. Additionally, our cost of revenue increased primarily due to a charge for excess and obsolete inventory of $450,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2023.
Net Loss and Operating Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our net loss increased by $713,000 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to decreased gross profit coupled with increased investor relations, legal and overhead allocation expenses of $138,000 partially offset by decreased marketing, consulting and audit fees of $267,000.
Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders
In September of 2022, IMHC was combined with certain entities under the common control of our Parent. As part of this transaction, we issued preferred stock that accrues a dividend, which has resulted in an increase in the net loss available to common shareholders compared to the prior year period of $372,000 due to accruing the dividend for the full three month period ended September 30, 2023.

Revenue and Gross Profit
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, we had decreased revenues of $1,252,000 and decreased gross profits of $1,413,000 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to our decreased sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, related to a large project which was discontinued in 2022, that drove increased production and deliveries in 2022 coupled with a project delays related to the overall economy slow down during the period. Cost of revenues increased $161,000 during the period due to increased charges related to excess and obsolete inventory of $786,000 in the nine month period partially offset by decreased distribution and manufacturing services of $402,000 and $219,000, respectively.
Net Loss and Operating Expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our net loss increased by $1,629,000 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to decreased gross profit of $1,413,000 coupled with increased overhead allocations, software and interest expenses increasing by $259,000, $120,000 and $108,000, respectively. The increases were partially offset primarily by decreased safety fees of $287,000.
Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders
In September of 2022, IMHC was combined with certain entities under the common control of our Parent. As part of this transaction, we issued preferred stock that accrues a dividend, which has resulted in an increase in the net loss available to common shareholders of $1.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 15, 2023 the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “security agreement”) with AAI in relation to the June 30, 2023 outstanding Ault advance payable of $701,000. The security agreement accrues interest at 10% per annum, permits an aggregate loan amount of $2 million and is due within 5 business days after written demand for payment is made. As of September 30, 2023 we have an outstanding advance payable balance of $1.4 million. AAI shall have the right to terminate the security agreement to make credit extensions under this security agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default. After December 31, 2023, AAI will not be obligated to make any further advances.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring net losses and operations have not provided sufficient cash flows. We believe that we will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter until at least the time we begin significant deliveries of our products. Our inability to continue as a going concern could have a negative impact on our company, including our ability to obtain needed financing. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to finance our future development activities and working capital needs largely through the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other sources, including term notes until such time as funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies; however, materially different amounts may be reported under different conditions or using assumptions different from those that we have applied. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations pertain to valuation of inventories and accruals of certain liabilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Our management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. Our management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2023, our management, with the participation and supervision of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that, solely as a result of the material weaknesses identified by management and described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses, which have caused management to conclude that as of September 30, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) was not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
| · | We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts our ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting, including fair value estimates, in a timely manner. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. The company’s primary user access controls to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented effectively; |
| · | The insufficient resources in our accounting function also resulted in a deficiency over design and implementation of effective revenue recognition policies, procedures and controls with respect to the identification, timing and treatment of various new contracts with customers; |
| · | Management also concluded that there was a deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting relating to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments which resulted in the failure to properly account for such instruments, specifically with respect to the classification and proper accounting treatment of preferred shares; and |
| · | Lastly, we did not design and maintain effective controls associated with related party transactions and disclosures. The controls in place were not designed at a sufficient level of precision or rigor to effectively prepare and review the complete customer listing in such manner as to identify and properly disclose the nature and financial data of all our related party relationships. |
Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties and proper reviews, inadequacy in design of revenue recognition policies and procedures, failure to properly account for and provide adequate disclosures of complex financial instruments, fair value estimate procedures and reviews, and deficiency in identification and a disclosure of related party transactions and concluded that the multiple control deficiencies that resulted represented material weaknesses.
We have begun to implement the actions below (including appropriate staffing to execute such actions) in the following areas to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses.
| 18 |
Remediation
Inventory. We have enhanced the design of existing controls and implemented new controls over the accounting, processing and recording of inventory. Specifically, we have strengthened the design of the management review control over inventory-in-transit. We have implemented processes to ensure timely identification and evaluation of inventory cut-off, and we are requiring additional accountability from counterparties on the accuracy of incoming and outgoing shipment documentation. We have deployed information system enhancements and have made better use of current system capabilities in order to improve the accuracy of inventory cut-off, reporting and reconciliation. In addition, we have been creating an assembly bill of materials (“BOM”) in our business software to facilitate efficient and accurate manufacturing and provide proper recording of raw materials inventory. The BOM structure ultimately minimizes inventory inaccuracies and production delays, and we have been increasing cycle counting of inventory used in production to improve accuracy. Lastly, we have recently hired a material specialist whose responsibility is to maintain inventory records.
Revenue Recognition. We intend on enhancing the design of existing controls and implementing new controls over the review of the application and recording of revenue for customer contracts under the guidance outlined in ASC 606. We also intend on implementing more thorough reviews of contracts by evaluating contractual terms and determining whether certain contracts should be consolidated, involve related parties and the proper timing of revenue recognition. These reviews will include more comprehensive contractual analysis from our legal team while ensuring qualified resources are involved and adequate oversight is performed during the internal technical accounting review process.
Accounts Receivable. We intend on enhancing the design of existing controls and implementing new controls over the processing and review of accounts receivable billings. We plan to supplement our accounting staff with more experienced personnel. We will also evaluate information system capabilities in order to reduce the manual calculations within this business process.
Complex Financial Instruments. We will design and implement controls to properly identify and implement the proper accounting treatment and classifications of our complex financial instruments to ensure our equity accounting and treatment is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We intend to accomplish this by implementing more thorough reviews of certain details regarding all rights, penalties, record holders and negative covenants of the financial instruments in order to apply the correct accounting guidance (liabilities vs. equity vs. temporary equity).
Fair Value Estimates. We will design and implement additional control activities to ensure controls related to fair value estimates (including controls that validate the reasonableness, completeness and accuracy of information, data and assumptions), are properly designed, implemented and documented.
While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is currently involved in litigation arising from matters in the ordinary course of business. We are regularly subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings involving labor and employment, commercial disputes, and other matters. Such claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, and other proceedings could result in fines, civil penalties, or other adverse consequences.
Certain of these outstanding matters include speculative or indeterminate monetary amounts. We record an undiscounted liability for contingent losses, including future legal costs, settlements and judgments, when we consider it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the reasonably possible loss. We evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and related reasonably possible losses disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both likelihood of there being a loss and the estimated amount of loss related to such matters.
With respect to our outstanding matters, based on our current knowledge, we believe that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
