**ASSET ENTITIES INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025**

**(Unaudited)**

**Note 1. Organization, Description of Business and Liquidity**

***Organization***

Asset Entities Inc. ("Asset Entities", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company"), began operations as a general partnership in August 2020 and formed Assets Entities Limited Liability Company in the state of California on October 20, 2020. The financial statements reflect the operations of the Company from inception of the general partnership. On March 15, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Merger to register and incorporate with the state of Nevada and changed the company name to Asset Entities Inc.

***Description of Business***

Asset Entities is an Internet company providing social media marketing, content delivery, and development and design services across Discord, TikTok, and other social media platforms. Based on the rapid growth of our Discord servers and social media following, we have developed three categories of services. First, we provide subscription upgrades to premium content on our investment education and entertainment servers on Discord. Second, we codevelop and execute influencer social media and marketing campaigns for clients. Third, we design, develop and manage Discord servers for clients under our "AE.360.DDM" brand. Our AE.360.DDM service was released in December 2021. All of these services – our Discord investment education and entertainment, social media and marketing, and AE.360.DDM services – are therefore based on our effective use of Discord in combination with ongoing social media outreach on TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

***Liquidity***

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,330,381 at June 30, 2025 and a net loss of $4,288,829, during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company has received confirmation from Ionic Ventures, LLC that it will invest up to $3 million in the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon request by the Company, and the Company's Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock allows for an additional 330 preferred shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be sold.

Based on the Company's existing cash resources, management believes that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company's planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the accompanying financial statements.

**Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation***

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2025.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $250,000 per institution. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance as of June 30, 2025, was approximately $2.0 million. The Company has not experienced losses on account balances and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

***Property and equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Property and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their costs less impairment and residual value, if any, over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

---

The Company did not have any Building, Machinery and Equipment, and Vehicle as of June 30, 2025.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC No. 360"), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

***Intangible Assets***

Intangible assets acquired are recorded at fair value. We test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. Management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no intangible asset impairment charges.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which ranges from 5 to 15 years. Our finite-lived intangible assets include acquired franchise agreements, acquired customer relationships, acquired customer lists, and internally developed software. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include acquired domain names, trade names, and purchased software.

Intangible assets internally developed are measured at cost. We capitalize costs to develop or purchase computer software for internal use which are incurred during the application development stage. These costs include fees paid to third parties for development services and payroll costs for employees' time spent developing the software. We expense costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stage. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.

***Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill***

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset's carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.

***Fair Value Measurements***

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

● Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, deferred offering costs and contract liabilities, other current liabilities are carried at historical cost. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

***Advertising Expenses***

The Company expenses advertising costs as they incurred. Total advertising expenses were $412,445 and $284,886 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and have been included as part of general and administrative expenses.

***Research and Development***

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement.

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $182,484 and $238,739 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and have been included as part of contract labor.

***Stock based compensation***

*Service-Based Awards*

The Company records stock-based compensation for awards granted to employees, non-employees, and to members of the Board for their services on the Board based on the grant date fair value of awards issued, and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally one to three years.

For restricted stock awards ("RSAs") issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant.

*Share Repurchase*

Share repurchases are open market purchases. Share repurchases are generally recorded on the settlement date, as treasury stock. When shares are cancelled, the value of repurchased shares is deducted from stockholders' equity through common stock with the excess over par value recorded to accumulated deficit.

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company recognizes revenue utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

*Subscriptions*

Subscription revenue is related to a single performance obligation that is recognized over time when earned. Subscriptions are paid in advance and can be purchased on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Any quarterly or annual subscription revenue is recognized as a contract liability recorded over the contracted service period.

*Marketing*

Revenue related to marketing campaign contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than two (2) weeks.

*AE.360.DDM Contracts*

Revenue related to AE.360.DDM contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than one (1) week.

***Contract Liabilities***

Contract liabilities consist of quarterly and annual subscription revenue that have not been recognized. Revenue under these agreements is recognized over the related service period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total contract liabilities were $447 and $369 respectively. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue over a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.

Changes in contract liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** |
| Balance, January 1 | $369 |
| Deferral of revenue | 298 |
| Recognition of revenue | (220) |
| Balance, June 30 | $447 |

***Earnings Per Share of Common Stock***

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, *"Earnings per Share"* which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. The Company would account for the potential dilution from convertible securities using the as-if converted method. The Company accounts for warrants and options using the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2025, warrants representing 31,500 shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation from diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive.

***Related Parties***

The Company follows ASC 850, *"Related Party Disclosures"*, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions and balances. There were no related party transactions except management fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid management fees to its controlling members totaling $2,532,794 and $1,805,377, respectively.

***Commitments and Contingencies***

The Company follows ASC 450-20, *"Loss Contingencies"*, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any commitments and contingencies.

The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The CODM uses operating margin and net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow operating margin, the allocation of budget between operating expenses and the management and forecasting of cash to ensure enough capital is available. Accordingly, we determined we operate in a single reporting segment.

Our CEO assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources primarily based on net income, which is reported on our Statements of Operations. Total assets on the Balance Sheets represent our segment assets.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 final standard on Income Statement: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2027.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

We also offer Ternary v2, a cloud-based subscription management and payment processing solution for Discord communities, which includes a suite of customer relations management tools and Stripe-verified payment processing. All of our services are based on our effective use of Discord as well as other social media including TikTok, X, Instagram, and YouTube.

Our Discord investment education and entertainment service is designed primarily by and for enthusiastic Generation Z, or Gen Z, retail investors, creators and influencers. Gen Z is commonly considered to be people born between 1997 and 2012. Our investment education and entertainment service focuses on stock, real estate, cryptocurrency, and NFT community learning programs designed for the next generation. While we believe that Gen Z will continue to be our primary market, our Discord server offering features education and entertainment content covering real estate investments, which is expected to appeal strongly to older generations as well. Our combined server user membership was approximately 203,466 as of June 30, 2025.

Our social media and marketing services utilize our management's social influencer backgrounds by offering social media and marketing campaign services to business clients. Our team of social influencer independent contractors, which we call our "SiN" or "Social Influencer Network", can perform social media and marketing campaign services to expand our clients' Discord server bases and drive traffic to their businesses, as well as increase membership in our own servers.

Our "AE.360.DDM, Design Develop Manage" service, or "AE.360.DDM", is a suite of services to individuals and companies seeking to create a server on Discord. We believe we are the first company to provide "Design, Develop and Manage," or DDM, services for any individual, company, or organization that wishes to join Discord and create their own community. With our AE.360.DDM rollout, we are uniquely positioned to offer DDM services in the growing market for Discord servers.

Through Ternary v2, our subscription management and payment processing solution for Discord communities, subscribers can monetize and manage their Discord users. Ternary v2 simplifies the process for our subscribers to: (i) sell memberships to their Discord servers on their websites and collect payments through Stripe with daily payouts; (ii) add digital products and services and designate purchase options to their Discord servers; (iii) customize their user Discord permissions and roles and other Discord settings; and (iv) utilize our Discord bot to automatically apply their Discord user settings to authenticate new users, apply customizable permission sets to users, and remove users when their subscriptions expire. As a Stripe-verified partner through Ternary v2, we can also assist subscribers with integrating other platforms into their Discord servers with open application programming interfaces, further extending our platform's capabilities.

We believe that we are a leading provider of all of these services, and that demand for all of our services will continue to grow. We expect to experience rapid revenue growth from our services. We believe that we have built a scalable and sustainable business model and that our competitive strengths position us favorably in each aspect of our business.

Our revenue depends on the number of paying subscribers to our Discord servers. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we received revenue from 1,163 and 1,238 Asset Entities Discord server paying subscribers, respectively.

**Our Historical Performance**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,330,381 and cash and cash equivalents of $2,518,441. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a net loss of $2,664,611 and $1,726,537, respectively. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through capital raises and sales of its services. In April 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-278707), which was declared effective by the SEC on April 26, 2024, for potential offerings of up to $100,000,000 in aggregate (the "Shelf Registration Statement"), subject to the requirement that in no event may we sell shares having a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period under the Shelf Registration Statement so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000. In May 2024, the Company completed the first of a two-part private placement of its Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $1.5 million, and in July 2024, the Company completed the second part of the private placement for an additional $1.5 million in gross proceeds. In September 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2024 (the "ATM Sales Agreement"), between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the "Sales Agent"), and filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement for an "at the market offering" of shares of Existing Class B Common Stock (the "ATM Financing") for gross proceeds of up to $1,791,704. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had filed additional prospectus supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement to increase the maximum gross proceeds to $5,489,399. Since the commencement of the ATM Financing and as of June 30, 2025, a total of 5,427,700 shares has been sold, for net proceeds to the Company of $4,830,647.56, after paying $329,362 in compensation to the Sales Agent and the same amount to Boustead Securities, LLC ("Boustead") under the Boustead ATM Waiver (as defined in "*—Liquidity and Capital Resources – ATM Financing – Waivers and Consents to ATM Financing*"). The Company has received confirmation from the investor in its Series A Preferred Stock that it will invest up to an additional $3 million upon request by the Company.

In addition, on May 26, 2025, the Company and Strive entered into the May 2025 Private Placement (as defined in "*—May 2025 Private Placement*"). The Private Placement is expected to close substantially concurrently with the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent to the Company's and Strive's obligations to consummate the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived and such transactions being consummated, the Company obtaining stockholder approval for the issuance of the May 2025 Private Placement Securities (as defined in "*—May 2025 Private Placement*") as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), as well as the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Private Placement of approximately $750.3 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. If all of the May 2025 Traditional Warrants are exercised in full for cash, the Company could receive up to an additional approximately $750 million in gross proceeds, for total potential proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion.

Based on the Company's existing cash resources and the cash expected to be received from the ATM Financing, the May 2025 Private Placement, and other planned financings, it is expected that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company's planned operations through June 30, 2026 and for at least 12 months beyond that period. For further discussion, see Item 7. "*—Liquidity and Capital Resources*".

**Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance**

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

● our ability to acquire new customers and users or retain existing customers and users;

● our ability to offer competitive pricing;

● our ability to broaden product or service offerings;

● industry demand and competition;

● our ability to leverage technology and use and develop efficient processes;

● our ability to attract and retain talented employees and contractors; and

● market conditions and our market position.

**Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company**

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

● have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

● present three years, instead of two years, of audited financial statements, with correspondingly reduced "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*" disclosure in the Company's annual reports;

● 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 (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

● comply with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements;

● submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on-frequency;" and

● 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.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1,235,000,000 or more; (iii) the date that we become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a "smaller reporting company," as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including as to: (i) the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; (iii) presenting two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years; and (iv) compliance with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements.

*<u>Revenue</u>*. Our revenue increased 86.4% to approximately $0.17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $0.09 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of our Discord server paying subscribers for the three months ended June 30, 2025, including subscribers to the Pure Profits Discord server that the Company acquired in June 2024, compared to such number for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Due in part to the Company's sale of the Pure Profits Discord server and related assets in July 2025, there is no assurance that revenues will continue to increase. There was no material difference in the Company's subscription pricing structure between these periods.

 

*<u>Operating Expenses</u>*. Our total operating expenses increased 57.5% to approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

*<u>Loss From Operations</u>*. Our loss from operations increased 55.9% to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

*<u>Revenue</u>*. Our revenue increased 57.9% to approximately $0.34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $0.22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased number of our Discord server paying subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2025, including subscribers to the Pure Profits Discord server that the Company acquired in June 2024, compared to such number for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Due in part to the Company's sale of the Pure Profits Discord server and related assets in July 2025, there is no assurance that revenues will continue to increase. There was no material difference in the Company's subscription pricing structure between these periods.

 

*<u>Operating Expenses</u>*. Our total operating expenses increased 40.9% to approximately $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*<u>Loss From Operations</u>*. Our loss from operations increased 39.7% to approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising, marketing, payroll and other administrative expenses and administrative cost of public filings, compared to such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,330,381 and cash and cash equivalents of $2,518,441. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had a net loss of $2,664,611 and $1,726,537, respectively. To date, the Company has financed its operations primarily through capital raises and sales of its services. Based on the Company's existing cash resources, the cash expected to be received from planned financings, and increased revenues expected to be generated from expanded operations due to prior asset acquisitions, it is expected that the Company will have sufficient funds to carry out the Company's planned operations through June 30, 2026 and for at least 12 months beyond that period.

As indicated above, we may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

***Summary of Cash Flow***

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for the periods presented:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended<br> June 30,** | **Six Months Ended<br> June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $(3261053) | $(2322108) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities |  | (214761) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 3118870 | 1539434 |
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | (142183) | (997435) |
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 2660624 | 2924323 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $2518441 | $1926888 |

---

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net loss of approximately $1.2 million, offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $0.3 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily due to the non-recurrence of purchases of property, equipment and intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of Existing Class B Common Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

***Agreement and Plan of Merger***

On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement") with Alpha Merger Sub, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), Strive Enterprises, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Strive"), and Strive Asset Management, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Strive ("Asset Management").

On June 27, 2025, as a result of Strive electing the Restructuring Election (as defined in Section 2.06 of the Original Merger Agreement), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "A&R Merger Agreement") with Alpha Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation (formerly Alpha Merger Sub, LLC), and Strive, pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the A&R Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Strive (the "Merger"), with Strive continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving company of the Merger.

Because Merger Sub will merge with and into Strive under the A&R Merger Agreement (instead of Asset Management, as contemplated under the Original Merger Agreement), stockholders of Strive, rather than Strive itself, will receive the merger consideration. In particular, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of capital stock of Strive will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company Consideration Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio plus cash in lieu of fractional shares as specified in the A&R Merger Agreement. The "Company Consideration Stock" shall be the Existing Class A Common Stock redesignated as class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company ("New Class B Common Stock"), pursuant to amended and restated articles of incorporation of the Company to be adopted and approved in accordance with the A&R Merger Agreement (the "A&R Articles of Incorporation"). The Existing Class B Common Stock will also be redesignated as class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company ("New Class A Common Stock"). The "Exchange Ratio" shall be calculated so that each holder of Strive capital stock will receive, in respect of each share of capital stock of Strive, a number of shares of Company Consideration Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Aggregate Merger Consideration Share Number (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) by (b) the aggregate number of shares of Strive common stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this definition, the conversion of all Strive preferred stock and including shares of Strive common stock subject to restricted stock units that settle in shares of Strive common stock ("Strive RSUs") that have vested but not settled or restricted stock awards that settle in shares of Strive common stock ("Strive RSAs") that have vested but not settled).

Each Strive RSU and Strive RSA that is outstanding as of the closing of the Merger shall be assumed by the Company or converted into or substituted for a restricted stock unit that settles in shares of New Class B Common Stock of equivalent value.

Pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, the Company, Merger Sub and Strive agreed, among other things, to extend the "End Date", as defined in Section 11.01(b)(i) of the Original Merger Agreement, to February 6, 2026. This End Date extension was agreed to account for potential process delays out of the ordinary course that are not anticipated. The parties expect the Merger to close by early Fall 2025, which is unchanged from the parties' original timeline.

The board of directors of the Company unanimously adopted and approved the A&R Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that the Company's stockholders approve the issuance of Company Consideration Stock in connection with the Merger, the amendments to the Company's organizational documents contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby.

In connection with the Merger, the Company will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 registering the New Class A Common Stock and a proxy statement with respect to the meeting of the Company's stockholders.

Concurrently with the execution of the A&R Merger Agreement, on June 27, 2025, Strive and certain stockholders of the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Voting and Support Agreement (the "A&R Support Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, each such stockholder agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) to vote all of their respective voting shares in the Company, collectively constituting approximately 40.2% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of the date of the A&R Merger Agreement, in favor of the matters contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement, (ii) to convert their Existing Class A Common Stock into Existing Class B Common Stock (which will be redesignated as New Class A Common Stock), in exchange for a payment of $2.5 million from the Company and (iii) certain other matters in connection with the Merger as contemplated thereby.

If the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, Asset Entities will be required to pay Strive a termination fee of $10,000,000 or Strive will be required to pay Asset Entities a termination fee of $10,000,000.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("CFCO") will be acting as financial advisor to Strive. CFCO will receive a non-refundable cash fee equal to $2 million upon the closing of the Merger. CFCO will receive a non-refundable cash fee of $1 million if the termination fee described above is paid to Strive.

The A&R Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The A&R Merger Agreement has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Strive or any other party to the A&R Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the A&R Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the A&R Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the A&R Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the A&R Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the A&R Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.

The foregoing description of the A&R Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the A&R Support Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the A&R Merger Agreement and A&R Support Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

***May 2025 Private Placement***

 ****

On May 26, 2025, the Company and Strive entered into subscription agreements (the "May 2025 Subscription Agreements") with certain accredited investors (the "May 2025 Subscribers"), pursuant to which the May 2025 Subscribers agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell, (i) an aggregate of 346,043,350 shares of New Class A Common Stock at a price of $1.35 per share (the "May 2025 Placement Shares"), (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 209,771,462 shares of New Class A Common Stock, at a price of $1.3499 per share (the "May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants") to certain of the May 2025 Subscribers in lieu of May 2025 Placement Shares, and (iii) 555,814,812 warrants to purchase shares of New Class A Common Stock (the "May 2025 Traditional Warrants" and, together with the May 2025 Placement Shares and May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants, the "May 2025 Private Placement Securities" and such financing, the "May 2025 Private Placement").

The May 2025 Private Placement was entered into following the execution of the Original Merger Agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated by the A&R Merger Agreement.

The May 2025 Private Placement is expected to close substantially concurrently with the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent to the Company's and Strive's obligations to consummate the transactions under the A&R Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived and such transactions being consummated, the Company obtaining stockholder approval for the issuance of the May 2025 Private Placement Securities as required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq, as well as the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds from the May 2025 Private Placement of approximately $750.3 million, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. If all of the warrants issued in the PIPE financing are exercised in full for cash, the Company could receive up to an additional approximately $750 million in gross proceeds, for total potential proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion.

Pursuant to the terms of the May 2025 Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed to register for resale the May 2025 Placement Shares and the shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise of the May 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants and the May 2025 Traditional Warrants (the "May 2025 Warrant Shares" and, together with the Shares, the "May 2025 Registrable Securities"), including an obligation to file a registration statement covering the resale by the May 2025 Subscribers of their May 2025 Registrable Securities no later than 30 days following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement.

There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

The Company will pay the Sales Agent a cash commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the ATM Shares sold by the Sales Agent pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for reasonable fees and expenses, not to exceed $60,000 (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel), and additional amounts for annual maintenance of the ATM Sales Agreement (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its legal counsel) on a quarterly basis, not to exceed $5,000 per quarter.

Each of the Company and the Sales Agent has the right, by giving written notice as specified in the ATM Sales Agreement, to terminate the ATM Sales Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon five (5) days' prior written notice. The Sales Agent also has the right to terminate the ATM Sales Agreement at any time in certain circumstances, including in the event of the occurrence of a material adverse change with respect to the Company, the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the ATM Sales Agreement, any failure to fulfill any condition to the obligations of the Sales Agent under the ATM Sales Agreement, or any suspension or limitation of trading of the ATM Shares.

The ATM Sales Agreement contains certain covenants, representations and warranties customary for an agreement of this type. The Company agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Since the commencement of the ATM Financing and as of June 30, 2025, a total of 5,427,700 shares has been sold, for net proceeds to the Company of $4,830,647.56, after paying $329,362 in compensation to the Sales Agent and the same amount to Boustead under the Boustead ATM Waiver.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, and the ATM Shares cannot be sold in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. Any offer will be made only by means of a prospectus, consisting of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, forming a part of the effective registration statement.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

***Intangible Assets***

Intangible assets acquired are recorded at fair value. We test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. Management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, royalty rates and appropriate discount rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no intangible asset impairment charges.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which ranges from 5 to 15 years. Our finite-lived intangible assets include acquired franchise agreements, acquired customer relationships, acquired customer lists, and internally developed software. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include acquired domain names, trade names, and purchased software.

Intangible assets internally developed are measured at cost. We capitalize costs to develop or purchase computer software for internal use which are incurred during the application development stage. These costs include fees paid to third parties for development services and payroll costs for employees' time spent developing the software. We expense costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation stage. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life.

***Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill***

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset's carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.

***Advertising Expenses***

The Company expenses advertising costs as they incurred. Total advertising expenses were $412,445 and $284,886 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and have been included as part of general and administrative expenses.

***Research and Development***

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved as defined under the applicable agreement.

The Company incurred research and development expenses of $182,484 and $238,739 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and have been included as part of contract labor.

***Stock Based Compensation***

*Service-Based Awards*

The Company records stock-based compensation for awards granted to employees, non-employees, and to members of the board for their services on the board based on the grant date fair value of awards issued, and the expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally one to three years.

For restricted stock awards ("RSAs") issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant.

*Share Repurchase*

Share repurchases are open market purchases. Share repurchases are generally recorded on the settlement date, as treasury stock. When shares are cancelled, the value of repurchased shares is deducted from stockholders' equity through common stock with the excess over par value recorded to accumulated deficit.

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company recognizes revenue utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

*Subscriptions*

Subscription revenue is related to a single performance obligation that is recognized over time when earned. Subscriptions are paid in advance and can be purchased on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Any quarterly or annual subscription revenue is recognized as a contract liability recorded over the contracted service period.

*Marketing*

Revenue related to marketing campaign contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than two (2) weeks.

*AE.360.DDM Contracts*

Revenue related to AE.360.DDM contracts with customers are normally of a short duration, typically less than one (1) week.

***Contract Liabilities***

Contract liabilities consist of quarterly and annual subscription revenue that have not been recognized. Revenue under these agreements is recognized over the related service period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total contract liabilities were $447 and $369 respectively. Contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue over a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.

Changes in contract liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** |
| Balance, January 1 | $369 |
| Deferral of revenue | 298 |
| Recognition of revenue | (220) |
| June 30 | $447 |

---

***Earnings per Share of Common Stock***

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, "*Earnings per Share*" which requires presentation of basic earnings per share on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common stock issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants unless the result would be antidilutive. The Company would account for the potential dilution from convertible securities using the as-if converted method. The Company accounts for warrants and options using the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2025, warrants representing 31,500 shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation from diluted net loss per share as the result was anti-dilutive.

***Commitments and Contingencies***

The Company follows ASC 450-20, *"Loss Contingencies"*, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any commitments and contingencies.

***Segment Reporting***

The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The CODM uses operating margin and net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the determination of the rate at which the Company seeks to grow operating margin, the allocation of budget between operating expenses and the management and forecasting of cash to ensure enough capital is available. Accordingly, we determined we operate in a single reporting segment.

Our CEO assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources primarily based on net income, which is reported on our Statements of Operations. Total assets on the Balance Sheets represent our segment assets.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03 final standard on Income Statement: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2027.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
