1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

TurnOnGreen, Inc. (formerly known as Imperalis Holding Corp.), a Nevada Corporation (“TOG”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries Digital Power Corporation (“Digital Power”) and TOG Technologies (“TOGT,” or 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.

TOG 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. On December 21, 2023, the Company changed its legal name from “Imperalis Holding Corp.” to “TurnOnGreen, Inc.”  pursuant to a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 21, 2023. The Company also amended and restated its bylaws on January 11, 2024, to reflect the change in its name. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1421 McCarthy Blvd., Milpitas, California 95035, its telephone number is (510) 657-2635 and its corporate website is www.turnongreen.com.

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 11, 2024.

Significant Accounting Policies

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 11, 2024. 

The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

8. LEASES

Office and Warehouse Leases and Sublease

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 the Company was a lessee as well as a sublessor for a certain office space lease. No residual value guarantees have been provided by the sublessee and the Company recognized $25,000 and $11,000 of income related to the sublease for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Fixed sublease payments received are recognized on a straight-line basis over the sublease term and netted against operating lease expenses.

The components of net operating lease expenses, recorded within operating expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, were as follows:

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is a subsidiary of Ault, and as a result Ault is deemed a related party.

Allocation of General Corporate Expenses

Ault provides human resources, accounting and other services to the Company, which are included as allocations of these expenses.  The allocation method calculates an appropriate share of overhead costs by using Company revenue as a percentage of total revenue.  This method is reasonable and consistently applied.  Costs incurred in connection with the allocation of these costs are reflected in selling, general and administrative of $103,000 and $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, $103,000 was recorded in Ault advance payable. As of March 31, 2023, $153,000 was recorded as Contribution from Parent in the statement shareholders’ equity.

Ault has made capital contributions to the Company of $0 and $577,000 for general corporate purposes for the period ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Total Contributions from Parent are $0 and $730,000 for the period ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Related Party Sales and Receivables 

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had related party receivables of $1,000 and $0, respectively.

Related Party Notes and Advances Payable

Related party notes and advances payable were used for working capital purposes and on March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were comprised of the following: 

The related party note payable accrues interest of 10%, has no fixed terms of repayment and is recorded as related party notes and advances payable.

The Company recorded related party interest expense of $69,000 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively in interest expense, related party.

10. 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 we consider 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 a loss, and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. 

With respect to the Company’s outstanding litigation matters, based on the Company’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

Non-cancelable Obligations

In the normal course of business, the Company enters non-cancelable obligations with certain parties to purchase services, such as technology equipment and subscription-based cloud service arrangements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding non-cancelable purchase obligations with terms of one year or longer aggregating $36,000.

11. LOSS PER SHARE

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.

The Company excluded the potential common stock equivalents outstanding from the calculation of diluted weighted average net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023:

12. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Authorized Capital 

The Company is authorized to issue 2 billion (2,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and fifty million (50,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which twenty-five thousand shares (25,000) have been designated as Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and the remaining authorized shares of preferred stock are “blank check” shares, which can be issued with various rights as determined by the Board. The number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class.

Common Stock

The holders of the Company’s common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. Holders of common stock are also entitled to share ratably in all of the Company’s assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs.

Except as otherwise required by law or as may be provided by the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of common stock, all rights to vote and all voting power shall be vested in the holders of common stock. Each share of common stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the remaining net assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock.

13. REDEEMABLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

There are 25,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000, for an aggregate value of $25 million. The Series A Preferred Stock becomes redeemable in January 2026.

On April 22, 2024, the Company amended its articles of incorporation. Pursuant to the Series A Amendment, the conversion price, for purposes of determining the number of votes the holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to cast, shall not be lower than $0.072. Further, the price at which the Series A Preferred Stock shall become convertible into shares of common stock of the Company shall be equal to the greater of (i) $0.02 per share or (ii) eighty (80%) percent of the Market Price as at the Conversion Date. 

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 29, 2024, the Company issued 24,954,170 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $.10 per share. Related parties received 7,082 of the warrants distributed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “approximate,” “might,” “budget,” “forecast,” “shall,” “project,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or our ability to successfully remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in an appropriate and timely manner or at all, and the other factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2024. Our expectations are as of the date this Quarterly Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

Plan of Operations

We are an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) electrification infrastructure solutions and premium custom power products company, through our wholly owned subsidiaries Digital Power Corporation (‘DPC”) and TOG Technologies Inc. (“TOGT”), design, develop, manufacture and sell highly engineered, feature-rich, high-grade-power conversion and power system solutions to diverse industries and markets including e-Mobility, medical, military, telecommunications, and industrial as well as design and provide a line of advanced EV charging solutions. Through DPC, we provide solutions which leverage a combination of low leakage power emissions, very high-power density with power efficiency, flexible design leveraging customized firmware and short time to market. Our designed and manufactured, highly engineered, precision power conversion and control solutions serve mission-critical applications and processes. Through TOGT, we market and sell a line of scalable EV residential, commercial and ultra-fast charging products and comprehensive charging management software and network services. The business represents a natural outgrowth from our proprietary core power technologies to optimizing the design and performance of EV charging solutions.

Our strategy is to be the supplier of choice across numerous markets that require high-quality power system solutions where custom design, superior product, high quality, time to market and competitive prices are critical to business success. We believe that we provide advanced custom product design services to deliver high-grade products that reach a high level of efficiency and density and can meet rigorous environmental requirements. Our customers benefit from a direct relationship with us that supports all their needs for designing and manufacturing power solutions and products. By implementing our proprietary core technology, including process implementation in integrated circuits, we can provide cost reductions to our customers by replacing their existing power sources with our custom design cost-effective products.

On March 20, 2022, TOG entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with TurnOnGreen, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“TOGI”), a then wholly owned subsidiary of Ault. Pursuant to the Agreement, at the Closing, which occurred on September 6, 2022, the Parent delivered to us all of the outstanding shares of common stock of TOGI held by the Parent, and in consideration for the issuance by TOG to the Parent (the “Acquisition”) of an aggregate of 25,000 newly designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with each such share having a stated value of $1,000. The Series A Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $25 million, is convertible into shares of our common stock at the Parent’s option, is redeemable by the Parent, and entitles the Parent to vote with the common stock on an as-converted basis. Immediately following the Acquisition, TOGI became our wholly owned subsidiary, and subsequent thereto, TOGI was merged with and into our company, pursuant to which TOGI ceased to exist. TurnOnGreen continues to be led by its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Amos Kohn and its President, Marcus Charuvastra.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, and 2023:

Revenue and Gross (Loss) Profit

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, we had increased revenues of $349,000 and increased gross profits of $199,000 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to increased sales of $403,000  from one of our significant higher margin defense industry customers during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

Net Loss and Operating Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net loss decreased by $276,000 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in gross profit as described above as well as by decreased consulting and audit fees of $158,000 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying 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 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. Our 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. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million and negative working capital of $6.6 million.

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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Because we are a smaller reporting company, this section is not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2024, 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:

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.

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 March 31, 2024, 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.
