SEC Form 10-Q filed by Alpha Modus Holdings Inc.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Company Background

Alpha Modus Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Alpha Modus”), was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 11, 2014.

Nature of Operations

Alpha Modus was founded as an artificial intelligence software as a service provider. As of January 2020, Alpha Modus abandoned its software and deemed it not technologically feasible. Since that time, the Company has focused on developing its patents. Alpha Modus was awarded US Patent No. 10,360,571 (the “571 Patent”) on July 23, 2019. Since August 2019, Alpha Modus has focused on research and development to expand claims of the 571 Patent. The Company began commercialization efforts of the 571 Patent family in 2024.

Business Combination

On December 13, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement consummated the Business Combination. Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus, Corp. (“Alpha Modus”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company changed its name to “Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc.,” (“Holdings”). In accordance with ASC 805, in a business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the accounting acquirer. Management evaluated ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-15 to make this determination. Management assessed the various criteria to identify the accounting acquirer; form of consideration, relative voting rights, large minority interest, composition of the governing body, composition of management, terms of the exchange of equity interests and relative size. Management determined that Alpha Modus would be the accounting acquirer, based on the voting rights after the combination, large minority interest, composition of board and management and relative size. Management evaluated which entity constituted a business based on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed along with the inputs and processes of the entities. Management determined that Alpha Modus constitutes a business and that the substance of the transaction is a recapitalization of Alpha Modus often referred to as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Holdings will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of Holdings will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Alpha Modus. All periods prior to the Merger have been retrospectively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Closing to effect the reverse recapitalization.

In the Business Combination, the Company issued 5,295,000 shares of common stock and 7,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Legacy Alpha Modus’ shareholders as merger consideration in the Business Combination, and the Company issued 1,817,308 shares of common stock to various parties as required by the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately following the Business Combination there were 12,455,252 shares of the Company’s common stock (all Class A common stock) issued and outstanding, and 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Risks and Uncertainties

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Streeterville Capital, LLC Convertible Note

On October 23, 2024, Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company would sell, and the Investor would purchase, a secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,890,000 (the “Note”) for a net purchase price of $2,600,000 (after deducting an original issue discount of $260,000, and payment of $30,000 for the Investor’s legal, accounting, due diligence, asset monitoring, and other transaction expenses).

The SPA included customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The SPA grants the Investor (i) the right to fund up to an additional $5,000,000 to the Company, with the Company’s consent, through the date that is six months following repayment of the Note in full (the “Reinvestment Right”), and (ii) the exclusive right, on customary market terms, to enter into an equity line of credit or other similar financing arrangement with the Company for at least $20,000,000, through the date that is one year following the Purchase Price Date (defined below). Pursuant the SPA, Alpha Modus, Corp. is required to guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Note and related transaction documents pursuant to a guaranty agreement (the “Guaranty”), and the Note will also be secured by security agreements (the “Security Agreements”) by and between the Investor and both the Company and Alpha Modus, Corp., granting the Investor first priority security interests in all assets of the Company, as well as all assets of Alpha Modus, Corp., including all of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property (and including Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio) pursuant to a separate intellectual property security agreement (the “IP Security Agreement”). Additionally, the Company and Alpha Modus (collectively the “Borrowers”), and William Alessi, his entity, Janbella Group, LLC, and the trusts deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi (each a “Capital Party” and collectively the “Capital Parties”), are required to execute at closing a subordination and voting agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) all of the Borrowers’ indebtedness and obligations to each Capital Party will be subordinated to Investor, (ii) all security interests of any Capital Party will be subordinate to Investor’s security interests, (iii) the Borrowers will not make any payments to any Capital Party, (iv) none of the Capital Parties will accelerate any subordinated debt or equity, (v) and no Capital Party will convert or exchange their preferred stock of the Company into Common Stock, until such time as the Investor has been fully paid and all financing agreements between the Investor and the Borrowers are terminated.

The Note will mature 18 months following the date the purchase price is delivered to the Company (the “Purchase Price Date”), will accrue interest of 10% per annum, will be prepayable (after providing five trading days’ notice) at a 20% premium to the then-outstanding balance of the Note, and will be convertible into Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company as described below. Within 30 days of the Purchase Price Date, the Company will be obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC registering a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. If the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the Purchase Price Date, the outstanding balance under the Note will automatically increase by one percent and will continue increasing by one percent every 30 days thereafter until the registration statement is declared effective or the Investor is able to sell shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If by the date that 50% of the shares registered under the registration statement have been issued to Investor (such date, the “Trigger Date”) the Note has not yet been repaid in full, the Company will be obligated to file an additional registration statement registering additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note within 30 days of the Trigger Date. If that additional registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the Trigger Date, the outstanding balance under the Note will automatically increase by one percent and will continue increasing by one percent every 30 days thereafter until the additional registration statement is declared effective.

The Note will be convertible at the election of the Investor into shares of Common Stock at any time following the earlier of the effective date of the registration statement described above or one year following the Purchase Price Date, at a conversion price equal to 90% multiplied by the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days preceding conversion, and provided that (i) the Investor may not convert the Note into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Investor’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock being in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% if the Company’s market capitalization is less than $10 million), and provided that (ii) the Note is not convertible into a total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the “Exchange Cap”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company will, within 120 days of the Purchase Price Date, seek shareholder approval of the Note and the issuance of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon conversion of the Note and pursuant to the Reinvestment Right, in excess of the Exchange Cap (the “Shareholder Approvals”). If such shareholder approval is not obtained within 120 days, the Company will continue to seek shareholder approval every three months thereafter until shareholder approval is obtained. Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, each Capital Party is required to vote all of their shares of Company stock in favor of the Shareholder Approvals. Under the SPA, the Company is required to initially reserve 7,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to the Investor under the Note, and the Company is required to add additional shares to the reserve in increments of 100,000 shares when requested by the Investor if at the time of the request the number of shares being held in reserve is less than three times the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding balance under the Note divided by the applicable conversion price at that time.

On December 12, 2024, the Company amended the SPA (the “Amended SPA”) to revise the terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Amended SPA, the Note is not convertible below a floor price of $4.00/share, but if the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is less than the floor price for ten consecutive trading days, the Company is required to begin making monthly payments under the Note on the date that is 90 days following the original funding date.

On or about December 13, 2024, the Company issued the Note to the Investor, the Note was funded on or about December 16, 2024, and since that time, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been less than the $4.00 floor price for more than ten consecutive trading days, which, under the terms of the Amended SPA, would have required the Company to begin making monthly payments under the Note, with those monthly payments commencing on March 16, 2025, and with those monthly payments being equal to 120% multiplied by the outstanding balance divided by the lesser of 6 or the number of months remaining until the Note’s maturity date.

On January 27, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into an amendment to the Note providing that (i) the Company is not required to begin making monthly payments under the Note until May 16, 2025, (ii) the monthly payments will equal $485,000 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%, and (iii) the Company will pay to the Investor 50% of all proceeds received by the Company from any equity line of credit or similar arrangement within one trading day of receipt by the Company.

On April 28, 2025, the Company and Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”) entered into a second amendment to the Note (the “Second Amendment”) providing that (i) the 20% prepayment penalty under the Note was eliminated, but the outstanding balance of the Note was increased to $3,597,502 (i.e., the outstanding balance under the Note as of April 28, 2025, plus the prepayment penalty of 20% as of April 28, 2025), (ii) the Company will have the right on up to three occasions to extend the monthly payment start date for one month, with the outstanding balance automatically increasing by one percent for each extension, (iii) the monthly payments will equal $582,000 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, (iv) the floor price was reduced to $1.25, (v) the Investor’s beneficial ownership limitation was increased to 9.99%, (vi) the Company agreed to hold a stockholder meeting within 60 days to approve the issuances to the Investor under the Note and under an equity line of credit agreement with the Investor in excess of the Exchange Cap (as such term was defined in the Note), (vii) the Company agreed to sell the Investor 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Delivery Shares”) for $125, which Pre-Delivery Shares shall be used by the Investor only as pre-delivery shares under the Note and a future equity line of credit agreement between the Company and the Investor, (viii) the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note, and (ix) the Investor provided its written consent to the Company entering into the Patent Monetization Agreement and Option Agreement described in Note 13 – Subsequent Events.

The Company recorded a debt discount of $290,000 in connection with this Note. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company amortized $9,543 as debt discount interest expense. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of the debt discount was $280,457. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company amortized $124,058 as debt discount interest expense. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of the debt discount was $156,399. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance was $2,890,000 and $2,890,000 with accrued interest of $86,700 and $14,450, respectively.

Loeb & Loeb, LLP Convertible Note

On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note for $325,000 with Loeb & Loeb, LLP for services rendered in connection with the business combination.

The maturity date (the “Maturity Date”) of this promissory note is the earlier of (i) 12 months from the issue date referenced above (the “Issue Date”), or (ii) the date that is 10 business days following the date that the Issuer repays Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Lender”) in full, and the Maturity Date is the date upon which the Principal Sum, as well as any unpaid interest and other fees hereunder, shall be due and payable.

Interest; Monthly Payment; Additional Payments. Interest shall not accrue on the Principal Sum except as set forth elsewhere herein. The Issuer shall make monthly payments of $25,000 beginning December 1, 2024. Additionally, the Issuer shall use at least 50% of the proceeds from any capital raise in excess of $1,000,000 following completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination with Alpha Modus, Corp. to pay any remaining balance under the Note

Conversion. If the Issuer is no longer subject to the Lender’s variable rate transaction prohibition or the Lender has consented to conversion of this promissory note as set forth herein, the Holder shall have the right, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum, as well as any other fees pursuant to the terms hereof but not including interest, into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Issuer’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Conversion Shares”) as per the following conversion formula: number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price (as defined hereinafter). The “Conversion Price” shall equal 90% of the 5-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Issuer’s common stock at the time of conversion as reported by Bloomberg L.P. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, at no time will the Holder convert any amount of the Note into common stock that would result in the Holder owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding of the Issuer. Conversion Shares may be delivered to the Issuer by method of the Holder’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery). If no objection is delivered from the Issuer to the Holder regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within 24 hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Issuer shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto. The Issuer shall deliver the Conversion Shares from any conversion to the Holder (in any name directed by the Holder) within three (3) business days of conversion notice delivery.

Registration Rights. Provided this Note has become convertible, the Issuer represents, warrants and agrees that with respect to the Conversion Shares, the Holder will have registration rights identical to the registration rights provided to Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, including, but not limited to the following: (i) two demand registrations of the sale of the Conversion Shares at the Company’s expense, and (ii) unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five (5) years after the Issue Date at the Company’s expense. The Company shall execute and deliver the Joinder Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A. In the event the registration statement covering the Conversion Shares is not effective within 120 days of the Issue Date, then the principal amount due the Note will increase by one and one-half percent (1.5%) and will continue to increase by one and one-half percent (1.5%) for each thirty (30) day period such registration statement is not declared effective.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance was $325,000 and $325,000, respectively.

NOTE 6 – WARRANTS

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has 12,000,000 Public Warrants and 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

NOTE 7 – EARNOUT SHARES AND SPONSOR EARNOUT SHARES

The stockholders of Alpha Modus, Corp. may be issued up to 2,200,000 additional shares of Company common stock (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares will be earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments (of approximately 733,333 shares) if, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-consecutive trading day period beginning at least 180 days after the Closing and on or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, $15.00 per share and $18.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), respectively, with all remaining Earnout Shares earned and issued upon certain changes of control of the Company at or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing.

Additionally, at the Closing, the Company’s sponsor, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) was required to deposit 750,000 shares of Company common stock into escrow (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), and the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Earnout Shares described above (earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments of approximately 250,000 shares).

“Closing Share Price” means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Closing Share Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date(s) on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Share Price of such security on such date(s) shall be the fair market value per share on such date(s) as reasonably determined by the Company.

If the condition for more than one Milestone is achieved, the Company Earnout Shares to be issued in connection with such Milestone shall be cumulative with any Company Earnout Shares earned prior to such time and the Escrowed Sponsor Shares to be released from escrow to Sponsor shall be cumulative with any Escrowed Sponsor Shares released prior to such time in connection with the achievement of any other Milestone; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Earnout Shares in respect of each Milestone will be issued and earned only once and the aggregate Company Earnout Shares issued shall in no event exceed 2,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

If, at or following the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the $13.00 Share Price Milestone, $15.00 Share Price Milestone and/or the $18.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, none of the Earnout Shares that related to that particular Milestone shall be issued, and the Escrowed Sponsor Shares that have not been released from escrow to Sponsor shall automatically without further action be forfeited and deemed cancelled.

In the event that after the Closing and prior the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date, there is a Change of Control, the $13.00 Share Price Milestone, $15.00 Share Price Milestone, and/or the $18.00 Share Price Milestone, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred to the extent any such Milestone has not been achieved prior to the date of such Change of Control. For purposes hereof, a “Change of Control” means the occurrence in a single transaction or as a result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events:

If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof effect a subdivision, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction affecting the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the number of Earnout Shares issuable hereunder (and the number of Escrowed Sponsor Shares to be released), and the stock price targets set forth above shall be equitably adjusted for such subdivision, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective (which shall be the “ex” date, if any, with respect to any such event).

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table present information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The initial and subsequent fair values of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a gain to the statement of operations resulting from an decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $234,195 and $0, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The initial fair value of the Company Earnout Shares and the fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Shares have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a gain to the statement of operations resulting from a decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $1,039,282 and $0, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares liabilities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The initial fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model at the business combination date of December 13, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock of approximately $71,809,025, presented as mezzanine equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 9 – MEZZANINE EQUITY

Series C Preferred Stock

On December 13, 2024 as part of the business combination, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of series C preferred stock to Legacy Alpha Modus shareholders in exchange for the same number of Legacy Alpha Modus’ common stock. Management reviewed ASC 480, ASC 805, ASC 815, ASC 820 and ASC 825 to determine the proper treatment of the series C preferred shares. Management concluded that the series C preferred shares qualify as temporary equity under ASC 815; therefore, the Company will recognize the series C preferred shares within mezzanine equity in its balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 480, the series C preferred shares will be initially recorded and measured at fair value; however, when estimating the fair value of the series C preferred shares, the Company has followed the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. Because Redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of certain events that have not been met, subsequent changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring.

In the consolidated financial statements, the series C preferred shares are being presented as being issued in 2023 when a Legacy Alpha Modus shareholder converted Legacy Alpha Modus series B preferred shares in preparation for the pending business combination. The consolidated financial statements reflect the 10 shares of series B preferred stock converting into 7,500,000 shares of series C preferred stock and 2,334,092 shares of class A common stock.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 7,500,000 shares of series C preferred stock issued and outstanding.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officers, who review financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses consolidated operating margin and net income (loss) to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the allocation of budget between cost of revenues, sales and marketing, professional fees, and general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s had no long-lived tangible assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal disputes. The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.
