Note 1. Organization and Description of Business and Recent Developments
Organization and Description of Business
Dominari Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Aikido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company operated as a biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. The Company is in the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology assets held by Dominari Labs, LLC (formerly Aikido Labs, LLC). In an effort to enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), with the intent of shifting the Company’s primary operating focus away from biotechnology to the fintech and financial services industries. Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”), an introducing broker- dealer, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Dominari Securities is also licensed to provide investment advisory services and annuity and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated brokers.
On September 9, 2022, Dominari Financial
entered into a membership interest purchase agreement, as amended and restated on March 27, 2023 (the “FPS Purchase Agreement”)
with Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Seller”), a Connecticut bank, for the purchase of its wholly owned subsidiary,
Fieldpoint Private Securities, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“FPS”), that is a broker-dealer, a member of
FINRA and an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Pursuant to the terms of the FPS Purchase Agreement, Dominari Financial purchased
from the Seller
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into two separate Limited Liability Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IM LLC (“Investment Manager”) which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the consolidated financial statements of Dominari Holdings Inc. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited liability company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager was named the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master SPV. Beginning in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose of making investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such Series by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside third-party investors.
On May 21, 2024, Dominari Financial and
Heritage Strategies LLC (“HS”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”)
of Dominari Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The JV Agreement governs the operation of DFHS, including the distributions
to the members of DFHS upon the offer, sale and renewal of various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private
placement insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. Pursuant
to the terms of the JV Agreement, Dominari Financial and HS are the co-managing members (the “Co-Managing Members”), each
with fifty percent (

Note 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of corresponding cash flows from operating and investing activities.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities that it controls by ownership of a majority of the membership interest or outstanding voting stock. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Dominari Labs LLC (formerly, Aikido Labs LLC), Dominari Financial, and Dominari Securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include stock-based compensation, the valuation of investments, the valuation of notes receivable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Receivable from Clearing Brokers
Receivable from Dominari Securities’ clearing
brokers consisted of approximately $
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred (see Note 8 - Leases).
8
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or performance obligations for services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services.
The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers:
| ● | Underwriting services include underwriting and private placement agent services in both the public and private equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, and underwriting and distributing public and private debt. Underwriting and placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the underwriting offering at that point. The Company expenses any costs associated with underwriting transactions and they are recorded on a gross basis within the general and administrative line item in the consolidated statements of operations as the Company is acting as a principal in the arrangement. The Company applies the practical expedient under ASC 606, as any such costs would by amortized in one year or less. The Company also provides investment banking services. Investment banking services typically include fees earned for acting as a financial advisor for mergers and acquisitions or similar transactions. These services provided by the Company are not distinct from the potential transaction that may occur. Due to this, the Company believes the performance obligation for providing investment banking services is satisfied when the earliest occurs (i) termination of the engagement letter, (ii) expiration of engagement letter or (iii) successful transaction has occurred. |
Any non-cash consideration earned by the Company in providing the aforementioned services is recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, on the date that revenue is recognized.
| ● | Commissions are earned by executing transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related, and debt products. Commission revenue associated with trade execution are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. Commissions revenue are generally paid on settlement date and the Company records receivables to account for timing between trade-date and payment on settlement date and are included in receivable from clearing brokers on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. |
| ● | Account advisory and management fees are two revenue streams which are both recognized over time. Please see further description below: |
| o | The Company earns revenue for performing account advisory and investment advisory services for customers based on contractually fixed rates applied, as a percentage, to the market value of assets in a customer’s account. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The performance obligation for investment advisory services is considered a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and are satisfied each day of the contract and are recognized as revenue over time. Investment advisory fees are payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. |
| o | Management fees represent asset-based fees received in exchange for providing management services to certain related party pooled investment vehicles (funds). These fees are charged based upon contractually fixed rates applied, as a percentage, to the total assets of those pooled investment vehicles managed by the Company at the date upon which an investor subscribes into the fund, subsequently deferred. The Company recognizes these revenues over time as the Company has determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the management services as they are provided. Revenues are typically recognized over a period of five years, which the Company has estimated to be a reasonable estimate of the period during which the Company shall provide management services. |
9
| o | Contract liabilities relate to payments
received in advance of performance under the contract and are the result of remaining performance obligations for management services.
Contract liabilities are recognized as revenues when the Company provides ongoing investment management services. As of December 31, 2024,
the Company recognized $ |
| o | Carried interest fees are earned based on performance of the vehicle during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels, or high water marks, in accordance with the respective terms set out in each vehicle’s governing agreements. Carried interest is a form of variable consideration in the Company’s contracts with investment management customers and is fully constrained at contract inception. Carried interest fees are not recognized as revenue until (a) it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, or (b) the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Incentive Fees are typically recognized as revenue when realized at the end of the measurement period. Once realized, such fees are not subject to clawback or reversal. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 the Company recognized carried interest of $ |
| ● | Other revenue includes amounts recognized over time and at a point in time. Amounts recognized over time are recognized ratably over the period that such services are provided which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. Types of other revenue include trailing fees for mutual funds 12b- 1, variable annuity, fixed annuities, and insurance products. These trailing fees are paid by product partners for ongoing services and/or advice provided to underlying investor accounts. Trailing fees are recognized as income when earned, usually monthly or quarterly as net asset value is determined. As the value of the eligible assets in an advisory account is susceptible to changes due to customer activity, this revenue includes variable consideration and is constrained until the date that the fees are determinable. |
Long-term equity investments
The Company accounts for long-term equity investments under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments-Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”). In accordance with ASC 321, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value based on quoted market prices. Any equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are included within marketable securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at net asset value or using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The standard requires all entities subject to income taxes to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” This ASU requires that each interim and annual reporting period, an entity disclose more information about the components of certain expense captions that is currently disclosed in the financial statements. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements
Effect of new accounting pronouncements to be adopted in future periods
The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock as of the first day of the period.
Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 are as follows:

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to certain legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In particular, the Company and its subsidiaries may be named in and subject to various proceedings and claims arising primarily from the Company’s securities business activities, including lawsuits, arbitration claims, class actions, and regulatory matters. Some of these claims may seek substantial compensatory, punitive, or indeterminate damages. The Company and its subsidiaries may also be subject to other reviews, investigations, and proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory organizations regarding the Company’s business, which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions, and other relief. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims the Company cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of potential litigation or other claims will be.
In March 2024, the Company received a notice of petition of a filed action seeking relief related to the hiring in March 2024 of new registered representatives from the representatives’ former employer. This notice was filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Dominari Securities. The Company does not agree with the plaintiff’s claims. While the Company intends to defend itself vigorously from this claim, it is unable to predict the outcome of such legal proceeding. Any potential loss as a result of this legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company has not recorded a loss contingency for the aforementioned claim.
In the past, in the ordinary course of business, the Company actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of the Company’s technology. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, the Company is not aware of any material, active or pending legal proceedings brought against it.

method permitted by Rule 15c3-1. As of June 30, 2025, Dominari Securities had net capital of approximately $

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets since the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Overview
Dominari Holdings Inc. (“Dominari”) is a holding company that, through its various subsidiaries, is engaged in wealth management, investment banking, sales and trading, asset management and insurance. In addition to capital investment, Dominari provides management support to the executive teams of its subsidiaries, helping them to operate efficiently and reduce cost under a streamlined infrastructure. Dominari and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us.”
Dominari Financial Inc. (“Dominari Financial”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominari Holdings Inc., executes the Company’s growth strategy in the financial services industry. In addition to organic growth, Dominari Financial seeks partnership opportunities and acquisitions of third-party financial assets such as registered investment advisors and businesses, broker dealers, asset management and fintech firms, and insurance brokers. Our first transaction in furtherance of our growth in the financial services industry, the acquisition of 100% of a dually-registered broker dealer and investment advisor from Fieldpoint Private Bank & Trust (“Fieldpoint”), was consummated on March 27, 2023. The newly acquired dually registered broker-dealer and investment adviser was renamed Dominari Securities LLC (“Dominari Securities”) and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominari Financial.
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into two separate Limited Liability Company Agreements with Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”) and Dominari IMLLC (“Investment Manager”) which are both wholly owned subsidiaries and whose operations are included within the consolidated condensed financial statements of Dominari. Manager was named as the manager of Dominari Master SPV LLC (the “Master SPV”), a limited liability company formed by the Company in 2022, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Master SPV. Investment Manager was named the investment manager of Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the Master SPV. Beginning in March 2024, the Manager established various series of funds (the “Series”) of the Master SPV for the purpose of making investments in companies identified by the Investment Manager with proceeds generated by the sale of non-voting interests in such Series by the Master SPV to investors, in which the Company may, from time to time as it deems appropriate, also invest in such series alongside third-party investors.
On May 21, 2024, Dominari Financial and Heritage Strategies LLC (“HS”) entered into a Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of Dominari Financial Heritage Strategies LLC (“DFHS”). The JV Agreement governs the operation of DFHS, including the distributions to the members of DFHS upon the offer, sale and renewal of various insurance products and services, including life insurance, private placement insurance, group medical plans, qualified plans, business insurance, and family office and estate planning services. Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, Dominari Financial and HS are the co-managing members (the “Co-Managing Members”), each with fifty percent (50%) ownership interests in DFHS. Revenues from the sale of the various insurance products and services after deducting general and administrative costs are distributed to the Co-Managing Members as set forth in the JV Agreement.

On June 17, 2025, the Company entered into two Limited Liability Agreements with American Ventures Management LLC (“AV Manager”) and American Ventures IM LLC (“AV Investment Manager”) and was assigned ninety percent (90%) Membership Interest in each, which are both ninety percent (90%) majority owned subsidiaries of the Company and whose operations are included within the consolidated financial statements of Dominari Holdings Inc. AV Manager was named as the manager of American Ventures LLC (the “AV Master SPV”), a series limited liability company formed by AV Manager and owned by the investors of each fund series, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the AV Master SPV. AV Investment Manager was named the investment manager of the AV Master SPV and is responsible for providing investment advice and decisions on behalf of the AV Master SPV. AV Manager and AV Investment Manager are the managing members of AV Master SPV and may not be removed without their respective consent.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $34.1 million and $6.2 million in revenue from operations, respectively, primarily driven by the commissions and underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities and Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”). During the three months ended June 30, 2025 we incurred net income of approximately $16.6 million and during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred a net loss of approximately $6.1 million. The change in net income from operations was primarily driven by increases in overall revenues and unrealized gain on long term investments offset by increases in general and administrative costs and expenses, specifically increases in stock based compensation expense of $26 million for stock options granted and $15 million increase in commissions expense.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other income (expenses) was approximately $37.1 million and ($3.3) million, respectively.
The activity described above for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, is primarily a result of the Company’s continued increase in activities related to the financial services industry, overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty impacting marketable securities and the change in carrying value of long-term equity investments. Specifically:
| i. | Marketable securities - We recognized an unrealized gain of approximately $5.0 million and realized gain of approximately $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of approximately $5.0 million in realized and unrealized gains over the three months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by both market volatility and a fair market value adjustment on warrants held by Dominari Securities. |
26
| ii. | Long-term equity investments - changes over the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are a function of observable market transactions which resulted in a increase of approximately $31.7 million on the adjusted carrying value of the investments for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which is an increase of approximately $35.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily driven by a markup of the investment in American Bitcoin Corp. |
Six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $42.2 million and $7.5 million in revenue from operations, respectively, primarily driven by the commissions and underwriting revenue earned by Dominari Securities and Dominari Manager LLC (“Manager”). During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 we incurred net losses of approximately $15.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The change in net losses was primarily driven by one-time stock-based compensation paid to external advisors and management of the Company offset by overall revenues and unrealized gain on long term investments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other income (expenses) was approximately $36.6 million and ($6.0) million, respectively.
The activity described above for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, is primarily a result of the Company’s continued increase in activities related to the financial services industry, overall volatility in investment valuations due to macroeconomic uncertainty impacting marketable securities and the change in carrying value of long-term equity investments. Specifically:
| i. | Marketable securities - We recognized realized gains of approximately $1.4 million and unrealized loss of approximately $5.2 million and dividend income of $193,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of approximately $3.5 million in realized and unrealized gains over the six months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by both market volatility and a fair market value adjustment on warrants held by Dominari Securities.. |
| ii. | Notes receivable - we recognized $0.2 million realized and unrealized gain over the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus $1.7 million loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024 on notes receivable. |
| iii. | Long-term equity investments - changes over the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are a function of observable market transactions which resulted in a increase of approximately $32.0 million on the adjusted carrying value of the investments for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which is an increase of approximately $37.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2024. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities through:
| ● | managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from our past debt and equity offerings; |
| ● | seeking additional funds raised through the sale of additional securities in the future; and |
| ● | seeking additional liquidity through credit facilities or other debt arrangements. |
Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our business may require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations that we need to execute our longer-term business plan to support our transition into the financial services industry. Our working capital amounted to approximately $43.8 million as of June 30, 2025. We believe our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with the anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In the event that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund our operations, as expected, or if our plans or assumptions change, including if inflation begins to have a greater impact on our business or if we decide to move forward with any activities that require more outlays of cash than originally planned, we may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected. We may raise this additional capital by obtaining additional debt or equity financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly traded company or from continuing operations.
27
Our ability to obtain capital to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Specifically, as a result of recent volatility and weakness in the public markets, due to, among other factors, uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, it may be much more difficult to raise additional capital, if and when it is needed, unless the public markets become less volatile and stronger at such time that we seek to raise additional capital. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
The following table summarizes our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 we generated $882,000 in operations as compared to cash flow use of $7,185,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 The cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, is primarily attributable to increases in receivable from clearing brokers of $2.3 million, increase in accrued commissions of $10.9 million, increase in stock based comp of $53.8 million, changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $2.5 million, net realized and unrealized gain on marketable securities of approximately $4.1 million, offset by a net gain on long term investments of $32.0 million, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $10.4 million, and net loss of approximately $15.9 million. The cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is primarily attributable to a net loss of approximately $11.6 million, approximately $2.9 million of unrealized gain on marketable securities, increase in clearing broker deposits of $5.7 million, partially offset by approximately $3.3 million of realized gain on marketable securities, the change in carrying value of long term investments of approximately $5.4 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.1 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was approximately ($4.3) million and $10.2 million, respectively. The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily resulted from our purchases of marketable securities of approximately $13.2 million, partially offset by sale of marketable securities of $7.1 million collection of principal on notes receivable of $1.1 million, sale of long term investments $0.5 million and collection of principal from employee loans of $0.3 million. The cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily resulted from our sale of marketable securities of approximately $11.6 million and collection of principal on notes receivable $0.5 million, and sale of long term investments of $3.5 million, partially offset by funds to employee loans $(1.3) million and purchases of marketable securities of approximately $4.0 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $8.8 million, primarily driven by fund raising related to issuance of common stock of $13.5 million and issuance of common stock for warrants exercised of $2.3 million, partially offset by payment of dividends $(7.1) million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there are no cash flows from financing activities. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company distributed approximately $1 million to holders of non-controlling interests.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, as of June 30, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal controls.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
As of December 31, 2024, due to staffing and resource constraints, the Company required significant additional time to close the books and records. Management after year end, continued to perform its account reconciliations which required further adjustments to be recorded. As such, information technology, business processes and financial reporting controls were deemed to be ineffective due to (a) the lack of personnel to ensure the books and records are closed accurately and on a timely basis, (b) lack of proper review over the accounting for certain notes receivable accounted for at fair value, (c) the lack of appropriate segregation of duties, (d) certain general information technology control deficiencies regarding user access provisioning and administrative access review, and (e) insufficient documentation to support and evidence the design and implementation of controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Many aspects of the Company’s business involve substantial risks of liability. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be named as defendant or co-defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, which could create substantial exposure and periodic expenses. The Company may also be involved, from time to time, in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding the Company’s business, which may result in expenses, adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. In the past in the ordinary course of business, the Company has actively pursued legal remedies to enforce its intellectual property rights and to stop unauthorized use of its technology.
In March 2024, the Company received a notice of petition of a filed action seeking relief related to the hiring in March 2024 of new registered representatives from the representatives’ former employer. This notice was filed against the Company’s subsidiary Dominari Securities. The Company does not agree with the claim of the plaintiff and will defend itself accordingly. While the Company intends to defend itself vigorously from this claim, it is unable to predict the outcome of such legal proceeding. Any potential loss as a result of this legal proceeding cannot be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company has not recorded a loss contingency for the aforementioned claim.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. Our current risk factors are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025. Any of our previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
