Although Alpha Modus' audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about Alpha Modus' ability to continue as a going concern, based on its financial statements and results at that time, including its lack of current revenues, recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency.

Financing in Connection with Business Combination
On October 23, 2024, 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. was 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"), were 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 were subordinated to Investor, (ii) all security interests of any Capital Party were subordinate to Investor's security interests, (iii) the Borrowers would not make any payments to any Capital Party, (iv) none of the Capital Parties would accelerate any subordinated debt or equity, (v) and no Capital Party would convert or exchange their preferred stock of the Company into Common Stock, until such time as the Investor had been fully paid and all financing agreements between the Investor and the Borrowers were terminated.
The Note matured 18 months following the date the purchase price is delivered to the Company (the "Purchase Price Date"), accrued interest of 10% per annum, was prepayable (after providing five trading days' notice) at a 20% premium to the then-outstanding balance of the Note, and was convertible into Class A common stock ("Common Stock") of the Company as described below. Within 30 days of the Purchase Price Date, the Company was 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, and such registration statement was filed as described below.
The Note was 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 was required to, 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 was required to continue to seek shareholder approval every three months thereafter until shareholder approval is obtained. Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, each Capital Party was required to vote all of their shares of Company stock in favor of the Shareholder Approvals. Under the SPA, the Company was required to initially reserve 7,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to the Investor under the Note, and the Company was 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 was 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 the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was subsequently 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 was not required to begin making monthly payments under the Note until May 16, 2025, (ii) the monthly payments will equal $485,000.00 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%, and (iii) the Company would 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 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 $3,597,501.71 (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 would 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 would 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 below.
A registration statement registering shares for resale by the Investor was filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Company's obligations under the Second Amendment to register Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note (of which 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares and 3,000,000 other conversion shares were registered for resale in that registration statement). That registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2025. On May 29, 2025, the Investor converted $767,000 of the Note into 613,600 shares of Company common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Investor converted $125,000 of the Note into 100,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 10, 2025, the Investor converted $162,500 of the Note into 130,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 16, 2025, the Investor converted $150,000 of the Note into 120,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 23, 2025, the Investor converted an aggregate of $2,545,500 of the Note into 2,036,400 shares of Company common stock, leaving a balance due to the Investor under the Note of approximately $11,312.28, which the Company paid on July 23, 2025, satisfying the note in full. On or about July 25, 2025, the Company repurchased the 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares from the Investor for $125, and on or about August 6, 2025, the Pre-Delivery Shares were returned to the Company by the Investor and cancelled.
Business Combination Closing
On December 13, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement consummated the Business Combination, and in connection with closing issued the Note to the Investor, and entered into the Guaranty, Security Agreements, IP Security Agreement, and Subordination Agreement. Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus, Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company changed its name to "Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc.," and the Company is now listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "AMOD". The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, INAQ is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other Data." Legacy Alpha Modus's financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the Company's future periodic reports filed with the SEC.
In connection with the Business Combination, approximately 426,136 shares of common stock were redeemed, which represented a significant portion of the publicly traded shares outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and resulted in only approximately $1.16 million of cash from the INAQ trust account becoming available to Alpha Modus in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. 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's 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, including the redemption of shares described above, there were 12,455,252 shares of the Company's common stock (all shares of Class A common stock) issued and outstanding, and 7,500,000 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
As a result of becoming a publicly traded company, we will need to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors' and officers' liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
Other Recent Developments
On April 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Patent Monetization Agreement (the "Patent Monetization Agreement") with Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company controlled by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, William Alessi ("AMV"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide litigation funding to AMV in connection with AMV's recently filed patent litigation suit against Broadcom Inc. for infringement of AMV's patents relating to methods and apparatus for transporting of fibre channel data over ethernet (U.S. Patent Nos. 11,108,591, 11,303,473, and 11,310,077), and the parties agreed that the gross proceeds from the litigation would first be paid to the Company until it has received the return of amounts funded for the litigation, and then 65% to the Company until it has received a five times return, then 45% to the Company until it has received an additional two times return, and then 35% to the Company.
On April 28, 2025, and in connection with entering into the Patent Monetization Agreement, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with AMV's owners (Janbella Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Alessi, and Chris Chumas, the Company's Chief Sales Officer), pursuant to which the Company received the right to acquire AMV from its owners for an option exercise price consisting of the following: (i) the termination by the Company of the Patent Monetization Agreement and AMV's related payment obligations to the Company under the Patent Monetization Agreement, (ii) the payment of $300,000 to Janbella Group, LLC (in satisfaction of which Janbella Group, LLC will release AMV of its $300,000 repayment obligation to Janbella Group, LLC) as soon as the Investor (defined above) has been repaid in full, and (iii) the issuance by the Company to AMV's owners in the aggregate of a number of shares of common stock equal to $35,000,000 divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock immediately prior to closing, which closing shall not occur until the Company's shareholders have approved such transaction and issuance of common stock as required by Nasdaq's listing rules.
On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with four family trusts of the Company's CEO, William Alessi, pursuant to which the trusts would exchange an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (800,000 shares held in the name of The WRA 2023 Irrevocable Trust, 800,000 shares held in the name of The Janet Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, 800,000 shares held in the name of The Isabella Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, and 800,000 shares held in the name of The Kim Alessi Richter Irrevocable Trust, all of which are deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi as Mr. Alessi's spouse is the trustee of each of the trusts) for an aggregate of 26,079,868 shares of Class A common stock (with each of the trusts being issued 6,519,967 shares of common stock). In the Exchange Agreement, each of the trusts agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the shares of common stock to be received in the exchange until June 13, 2026 (except for permitted transfers to an affiliate).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation
Critical accounting policies are those that, in management's view, are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results of operations and most demanding on their calls on judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The company earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares ("earnout shares") as defined in the business combination agreement are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("ASC 820"), the Company recognizes the earnout shares instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using this same Monte Carlo simulation model. Derivative earnout shares liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 7 for more details on earnout shares).
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

The increase in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the gain in change in fair value of earnout shares of $1,051,915, the loss in change in fair value of warrants liability of $347,647 and the loss on settlement of debt of $598,324 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, described above.

The increase in net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the gain in change in fair value of earnout shares of $12,633, the loss in change in fair value of warrants liability of $581,842 and the loss on settlement of debt of $598,324 during the three months ended June 30, 2025, described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, Alpha Modus had cash of $118,214. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur significant expenses during the next twelve months of operations, including as a result of becoming a public company. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees. To maintain our plan of growth, we believe we will need to raise a minimum of an additional $2,500,000. These factors, along with the lack of current Company revenues, raise substantial doubts about Alpha Modus' ability to continue as a going concern.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,115,337 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $283,216 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We had net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, of $7,500, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We had net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, of $505,237, compared to $401,028 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
The Company is an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus expects to remain an emerging growth company at least through the end of the 2026 fiscal year and to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Alpha Modus' financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation to median employee compensation.
We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the IAC IPO, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding common equity held by non-affiliates, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.
