CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward- looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “seek,” “predict,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “possible,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “forecast,” “future,” “might,” “will,” “could,” would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth strategies, the industry in which we operate and potential acquisitions. We derive many of our forward- looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward- looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the stability of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause our results to vary from expectations include those discussed in “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the same may be updated from time to time.

Estimates and forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or to review any estimate and/or forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or other factors.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~MARCH~~JUNE 3130, 2025

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Digital Brands Group, Inc. (the “Company” ~~or “DBG”~~), was organized on September 17, 2012 under the laws of Delaware as a limited liability company under the name Denim.LA LLC. The Company converted to a Delaware corporation on January 30, 2013 and changed its name to Denim.LA, Inc. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company changed its name to Digital Brands Group, Inc. ~~(DBG).~~

On February 12, 2020, Denim.LA, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bailey 44, LLC (“Bailey”), a Delaware limited liability company. On the acquisition date, Bailey ~~44 , LLC~~ became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 4.

On August 30, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Mosbest, LLC dba Stateside (“Stateside”) pursuant to its Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Moise Emquies to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Stateside. On the acquisition date, Stateside became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 4.

On December 30, 2022, the Company closed ~~its~~the ~~previously announced~~ acquisition of Sunnyside, LLC dba Sundry (“Sundry”) pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Moise Emquies to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Sundry. On the acquisition date, Sundry became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ~~See Note 4.~~

On June 21, 2023, the Company and the former owners of H&J executed a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby contemporaneously with the parties’ execution of the Settlement Agreement (i) the Company agreed to make an aggregate cash payment of $229,000 to D.

Jones, and (iii) the Company assigned and transferred one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s membership interest in H&J to D. Jones. The H&J Settlement was accounted for a business disposition.

Reverse Stock Split

On December 11, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a one-for-50 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for each series of the Company’s preferred stock. The reverse stock split became effective as of December 11, 2024. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split and adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~MARCH~~JUNE 3130, 2025

Through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, the Company has been primarily financed through the issuance of capital stock and debt. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses, which it has done, or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities, which it has done. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Company has several potential sources of cash including cash warrants that are registered and exercisable that are in the money, the ability to initiate an at-the-market (“ATM”) offering under its current shelf registration statement, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Management’s Plans

In February 2025, the Company completed an offering consisting of the sale of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants for gross proceeds of $7,500,000, before deducting placement agent fees and commissions and other offering expenses.

As of June 30, 2025, management has reassessed the Company’s financial position and believes that the conditions which previously raised substantial doubt have been alleviated. The assessment is based on the current state of operations, the $16,225,000 offering, the additional capital sources available to the Company, and the cash on hand of approximately $14,600,000 at August 13, 2025. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months as of the date of these financial statements.

Accordingly, management has not included going concern language in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the prior audit report has not been reissued or revised, and users should refer to that report for the independent registered public accounting firm auditor’s opinion as of December 31, 2024.

There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available in the future. If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be forced to curtail or suspend its business plans.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period presented. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 099, 2025.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries (Bailey, Stateside and Sundry ~~from the dates of acquisition~~). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. As of ~~March~~ 31June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to related parties, related party note payable, and convertible debt. The carrying value of these assets and liabilities is representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable and Expected Credit Loss

We carry our accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less allowances for customer credit losses and other deductions to present the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. All receivables are expected to be collected within one year of the consolidated balance sheet. We do not accrue interest on the trade receivables. Management evaluates the ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Receivables are determined to be past due based on individual credit terms. An allowance for credit losses is maintained based on the length of time receivables are past due, historical collections, or the status of a customer’s financial position. Receivables are written off in the year deemed uncollectible after efforts to collect the receivables have proven unsuccessful. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

We periodically review accounts receivable, estimate an allowance for bad debts, and simultaneously record the appropriate expense in the ~~statement~~statements of operations. Such estimates are based on general economic conditions, the financial conditions of customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Past due accounts are written off against that allowance only after all collection attempts have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company determined an allowance for credit losses of $~~312~~311,~~332~~398 and $295,837, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and accounted for using the weighted average cost method for the Company’s DSTLD brand and first-in, first-out method for Bailey, Stateside and Sundry. The inventory balances as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, and December 31, 2024 ~~consist~~ consist substantially of finished good products purchased or produced for resale, as well as any raw materials the Company purchased to modify the products and work in progress.

Inventory consisted of the following:

Property, Equipment, and Software

Property, equipment, and software are recorded at cost. Depreciation/amortization is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. The balances at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consist of software with three (3) year lives, property and equipment with three (3) to ten (10) year lives, and leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the shorter of the lease life or expected life.

Depreciation and amortization charges on property, equipment, and software are included in general and administrative expenses and amounted to $1,685 and $2,156 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Depreciation and amortization charges on property, equipment, and software are included in general and administrative expenses and amounted to $3,371 and $4,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in which it obtains control of one or more businesses as a business combination. The purchase price of the acquired businesses is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments, in the period in which they are determined, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

Intangible assets are established ~~with~~through business combinations and ~~consist~~asset acquisitions. ofTechnology assets are acquired through asset acquisitions, while brand names and customer relationships are primarily recognized in connection with business combinations. Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of amortizable intangible assets are as follows:

Customer relationships 3 years

	Customer relationships		3 years
	Technology assets		5 years

Impairment

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets (property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested annually for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The annual goodwill impairment test allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units or an entity may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to step one of the quantitative impairment test. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required.

The quantitative impairment test calculates any goodwill impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of a reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. It is our practice, at a minimum, to perform a qualitative or quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter at every year end on December 31st.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets established in connection with business combinations consist of the brand name. The impairment test for identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

~~MARCH~~JUNE 3130, 2025

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

Accounting for Preferred Stock

~~ASC~~The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, includes standards for how an issuer of equity (including equity shares issued by consolidated entities) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

Management is required to determine the presentation for the preferred stock as a result of the redemption and conversion provisions, among other provisions in the agreement. Specifically, management is required to determine whether the embedded conversion feature in the preferred stock is clearly and closely related to the host instrument, and whether the bifurcation of the conversion feature is required and whether the conversion feature should be accounted for as a derivative instrument.

If the host instrument and conversion feature are determined to be clearly and closely related (both more akin to equity), derivative liability accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is not required. Management determined that the host contract of the preferred stock is more akin to equity, and accordingly, liability accounting is not required by the Company. The Company has presented preferred stock within stockholders’ equity.

Costs incurred directly for the issuance of the preferred stock are recorded as a reduction of gross proceeds received by the Company, resulting in a discount to the preferred stock. The discount is not amortized.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers¸ the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

	●	Identification of a contract with a customer;
	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Determination of the transaction price
	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
	●	Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied

12Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product, upon shipment of product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.

The Company derives its revenue primarily from wholesale and e-commerce transactions. For both channels, revenue is recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, which is the point in time when control is transferred. The Company considers the sale of products as a single performance obligation. For the Company’s licensing agreement via Bailey, the Company recognizes royalty revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the license agreement.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product, upon shipment of product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.

The Company derives its revenue primarily from wholesale and e-commerce transactions. For both channels, revenue is recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, which is the point in time when control is transferred. The Company considers the sale of products as a single performance obligation. For the Company’s licensing agreement via Bailey44, the Company recognizes royalty revenue on a monthly basis over the term of the license agreement.

The Company provides the customer the right of return on the product and revenue is adjusted based on an estimate of the expected returns based on historical rates.

The Company deducts discounts, sales tax, and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue. Sales tax collected from clients is not considered revenue and is included in accrued expenses until remitted to the taxing authorities. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net revenues. All shipping and handling costs are accounted for as distribution expenses, and are therefore not evaluated as a separate performance obligation.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of inventory sold and related freight-in. Cost of revenues includes direct labor pertaining to our inventory production activities and an allocation of overhead costs including rent and insurance. ~~Cost of revenues also includes inventory write-offs and reserves.~~

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits costs, professional services and information technology. General and administrative expenses also include payment processing fees, design and warehousing fees.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedging relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any ~~derivative~~ derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

Stock Option and Warrant Valuation

Stock option and warrant valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option model. For warrants and stock options issued to non- employees, the Company accounts for the expected life based on the contractual life of the warrants and stock options. For employees, the Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in the accounting standards codification. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options grants. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options. The number of stock award forfeitures are recognized as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.

The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Segment Information

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting ~~(“ASC 280”)~~, we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, we had one operating segment which pertains to the sale of apparel. All brands and reporting units currently report to the Chief Executive Officer. Each of our brands serve or are expected to serve customers through our wholesale, in store and online channels, allowing us to execute on our omni-channel strategy. We have determined that each of our brands share similar economic and other qualitative characteristics, and therefore the results of our operating businesses are aggregated into one reportable segment. All of the operating businesses have met the aggregation criteria and have been aggregated and are presented as one reportable segment, as permitted by ASC 280. We continually monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments.

Net Loss per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, and 2024, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

	June 30,
	2025		2024
	March 31,

The stock options and warrants above are out-of-the-money as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and 2024.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for both operating and finance leases. However, the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption under ASC 842, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statement of operations. This policy simplifies accounting for leases of shorter duration while maintaining compliance with disclosure requirements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily disclosure of significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the annual financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2023-07 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will include all required disclosures upon adoption.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

NOTE 4: DUE FROM FACTOR

For Stateside and Sundry, should total commission and fees payable be less than $30,000 in a single year, then the factor shall charge the difference between the actual fees in said year and $30,000 to the Company. Interest on advances is charged as of the last day of each month at a rate equal to the greater of either, (a) the Chase Prime Rate + (2.0)% or (b) (4.0)% per annum. For another factoring company, interest is charged at ~~one-thirty-third (~~1/33) of ~~one~~1% ~~percent~~ per day, ~~such~~which rate to will increase or decrease in accordance with changes in the “Prime Rate”, which such prime rate to be deemed to be 4.25% on the date of the agreement.

In consideration for the Services, the Company will pay the Vendor a vendor fee equal to $3,000,000 (the “Cash Fee”) within thirty calendar days after the date of the Vendor Agreement (the “Payment Period”), provided, however, that Vendor may elect to receive the Vendor Shares (as defined below) and/or Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) as described below in lieu of the Cash Fee by providing written notice to the Company of such election during the Payment Period (the “Written Notice”). The “Vendor Shares” shall mean a number of Common Stock equal to the Cash Fee divided by $1.45, provided, however, if the issuance of any of the Vendor Shares would cause the Vendor to exceed 4.99% of the of the outstanding Common Stock, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then the Company shall instead issue to Vendor pre-funded warrants (the “Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants”) for the purchase of the amount of Vendor Shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation, provided, further, that if the Vendor specifies in the Written Notice that the Vendor elects to receive Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of the entire amount of the Vendor Shares, then the Company shall instead issue to Vendor the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase the entire amount of the Vendor Shares. The Vendor delivered the Written Notice to the Company during the Payment Period in lieu of the Cash Fee and the Company issued the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants for the purchase of 2,068,965 shares of Common Stock to the Vendor on January 21, 2025.

The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events. The Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of the Vendor, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise). The Vendor (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that the Vendor would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the Vendor to us, the Vendor may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the Vendor’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of our shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the Vendor may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants.

Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, we may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, we believe based on our current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Except as may be set forth above the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, and the Company is not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us. In the future, the Company might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from its ordinary course of business, the resolution of which the Company does not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES

The Company has historically calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. The Company has used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate taxes for the ~~fiscal~~six ~~three~~months ~~month periods~~ ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the ~~fiscal~~six ~~three~~months ~~month period~~ ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance is required due, cumulative losses through ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, and no history of generating taxable income.

On July 21, 2025, the Company signed and entered into that certain Exclusive Private Label Manufacturing Agreement (the “Alabama Agreement”) with AAA Tuscaloosa, LLC (“AAA”). Although the Alabama Agreement has a stated effective date of July 16, 2025, the Alabama Agreement did not become a binding obligation of the Company until it was fully executed by the parties on July 21, 2025. AAA is acting as the name, image, and likeness (“NIL”) marketing agent for student-athletes attending the University of Alabama (the “University”). Pursuant to the terms of the Alabama Agreement, AAA has engaged the Company to manufacture private label knit apparel products for the University as set forth in the Alabama Agreement, but excluding any and all jerseys, polo shirts, collared shirts, quarter zips, and t-shirts or sweatshirts featuring the NIL, or trademark owned by a student-athlete or any game-related or team-related content (the “Alabama Exclusive Apparel Products”).

The Company has general discretion to develop designs, technical specifications, and prototypes for the Alabama Exclusive Apparel Products and has agreed to use its best efforts to invest approximately $1,000,000 in its continued marketing, technology and product development by the end of 2025, with the majority of such investment to be deployed by the Company on digital ad spend, influencer marketing and related expenses.

During the Alabama Term, AAA has agreed to only engage the Company to produce the Alabama Exclusive Apparel Products. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue AAA $1,000,000 worth of the Company’s common stock, for each year of the Alabama Term (the “Alabama Shares”).

The number of Alabama Shares issued shall be based on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock, shall vest immediately upon issuance, and include a guaranteed make-whole provisions for the first 15-months to guarantee the total dollar value of the Alabama Shares, such that if the price of the common stock declines, the Company shall issue either additional shares of common stock or cash to make up such difference (the “Make Whole Guarantee”).

The issuance of the Alabama Shares is subject to approval by the Company’s existing shareholders, and the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Alabama Shares by September 15, 2025.

Pursuant to the Alabama Agreement, AAA assigned all of its voting interests with respect to its shares of Company common stock via proxy to John Hilburn Davis IV, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Traffic Holdco Private Label Manufacturing Agreement

On July 21, 2025, the Company entered into that certain Exclusive Private Label Manufacturing Agreement (the “Traffic Holdco Agreement”) with Traffic Holdco, LLC,(“Traffic Holdco”). While the Traffic Holdco Agreement has a stated effective date of July 16, 2025, the Traffic Holdco Agreement did not become a binding obligation of the Company until it was fully executed by the parties on July 21, 2025. Traffic Holdco is acting as the NIL marketing agent for many universities (the “University Clients”) and hold the necessary licenses (the “Local Licenses”) to grant exclusive manufacturing rights to produce apparel products bearing the University Clients logos and trademarks, and using student-athlete NIL for distribution as a local licensee of the University Clients.

Such University Client Exclusive Apparel Products, manufactured exclusively by the Company, are to be sold directly by the University Clients through their respective websites or any brick-and-mortar locations within close proximity to such University Clients.

Traffic Holdco has guaranteed that at least three University Clients will grant the Company exclusive manufacturing rights with respect to University Client Exclusive Apparel Products, whereby each of the University Clients will enter into a private label manufacturing agreement (each, an “Authorized Manufacturing Agreement”) with the Company, with current plans to secure additional agreements from collegiate institutions, including, but not limited to, instructions from the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference.

The Company has general discretion to develop designs, technical specifications, and prototypes for the University Client Exclusive Apparel Products. In connection with the Company’s continued marketing, technology and product development initiatives, it has agreed to use its best efforts to invest approximately $1,000,000 during the first year of each Authorized Manufacture Agreement it enters into with each University Client, with the majority of such investment to be deployed by the Company on digital ad spend, influencer marketing and related expenses.

The Traffic Holdco Agreement is for a term of three years (the “Traffic Holdco Term”), with the option to renew for successive one-year terms, and Traffic Holdco has agreed to engage the Company on an exclusive basis to produce the University Client Exclusive Apparel Products during the Traffic Holdco Term. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue Traffic Holdco $1,000,000 worth of Company’s common stock for each year of the Traffic Holdco Term for each University Client that enters into an Authorized Manufacturer Agreement with the Company (such shares, the “Traffic Holdco Shares”).

The number of Traffic Holdco Shares to be issued is based on the VWAP of the common stock

The Traffic Holdco Shares shall vest immediately upon issuance, and are subject to the same terms and provisions of the Make Whole Guarantee applicable to the Alabama Shares discussed above, provided that Traffic Holdco continues to maintain its exclusive engagement with the Company. The issuance of the Traffic Holdco Shares is subject to approval by the Company’s existing shareholders, and the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Traffic Holdco Shares by September 15, 2025.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the relevant entities and the pro forma financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless otherwise indicated by the context, references to “DBG” refer to Digital Brands Group, Inc. solely, and references to “Digital Brands Group,” the “Company,” “our,” “we,” “us” and similar terms refer to Digital Brands Group, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Bailey 44, LLC (“Bailey”), MOSBEST, LLC (“Stateside”) and Sunnyside (“Sundry”).

Overview

Our Company

Digital Brands Group is a curated collection of lifestyle brands, including Bailey 44, DSTLD, Stateside, Sundry and Avo, that offers a variety of apparel products through direct-to-consumer and wholesale distribution. Our complementary brand portfolio provides us with the unique opportunity to cross merchandise our brands. We aim for our customers to wear our brands head to toe and to capture what we call “closet share” by gaining insight into their preferences to create targeted and personalized content specific to their cohort. Operating our brands under one portfolio provides us with the ability to better utilize our technological, human capital and operational capabilities across all brands. As a result, we have been able to realize operational efficiencies and continue to identify additional cost -saving opportunities to scale our brands and overall portfolio.

Our portfolio consists of five significant brands that leverage our three channels: our websites, wholesale and license revenue.

● Bailey 44 combines beautiful, luxe fabrics and on-trend designs to create sophisticated ready-to-wear capsules for women on-the-go. Designing for real life, this brand focuses on feeling and comfort rather than how it looks on a runway. Bailey 44 is primarily a wholesale brand, which we are transitioning to a digital, direct-to-consumer brand. ● DSTLD offers stylish high-quality garments without the luxury retail markup valuing customer experience over labels. DSTLD is primarily a digital direct-to-consumer brand, to which we recently added select wholesale retailers to generate brand awareness. ● Stateside is an elevated, America -first brand with all knitting, dyeing, cutting and sewing sourced and manufactured locally in Los Angeles. The collection is influenced by the evolution of the classic T-shirt offering a simple yet elegant look. Stateside is primarily a wholesale brand that we will be transitioning to a digital, direct-to-consumer brand. ● Sundry offers distinct collections of women’s clothing, including dresses, shirts, sweaters, skirts, shorts, athleisure bottoms and other accessory products. Sundry’s products are coastal casual and consist of soft, relaxed and colorful designs that feature a distinct French chic, resembling the spirits of the French Mediterranean and the energy of Venice Beach in Southern California. Sundry is primarily a wholesale brand that we will be transitioning to a digital, direct-to-consumer brand. ● Avo ~~– Avo~~ is a women’s essential brand that will offer t-shirts, sweats, dresses, sweaters and athleisure. Avo eliminates the wholesale mark-up, so its products have a sharper price point. Avo also offers larger discounts when the customer bundles multiple products to their cart, which allows Avo to leverage its shipping and fulfillment costs. Avo leverages the Company’s current design and supply chain infrastructure, so we use similar or the same fabrics and contractors for Avo that we do for our other brands.

2427

We believe that successful apparel brands sell in all revenue channels. However, each channel offers different margin structures and requires different customer acquisition and retention strategies. We were founded as a digital-first retailer that has strategically expanded into select wholesale and direct retail channels. We strive to strategically create omnichannel strategies for each of our brands that blend physical and online channels to engage consumers in the channel of their choosing. Our products are sold direct-to- consumers principally through our websites and our own showrooms, but also through our wholesale channel, primarily in specialty stores and select department stores. With the continued expansion of our wholesale distribution, we believe developing an omnichannel solution further strengthens our ability to efficiently acquire and retain customers, while also driving high customer lifetime value (“LTV”), which we define as an estimate of the average revenue that a customer will generate throughout their lifespan as our customer. This value/revenue of a customer helps us determine many economic decisions, such as marketing budgets per marketing channel, retention versus acquisition decisions, unit level economics, profitability and revenue forecasting.

We believe that by leveraging a physical footprint to acquire customers and increase brand awareness, we can use digital marketing to focus on retention and a very tight, disciplined high value new customer acquisition strategy, especially targeting potential customers lower in the sales funnel. Building a direct relationship with the customer as the customer transacts directly with us allows us to better understand our customer’s preferences and shopping habits. Our substantial experience as a company originally founded as a digitally native-first retailer gives us the ability to strategically review and analyze the customer’s data, including contact information, browsing and shopping cart data, purchase history and style preferences. This in turn has the effect of lowering our inventory risk and cash needs since we can order and replenish product based on the data from our online sales history, replenish specific inventory by size, color and SKU based on real times sales data, and control our mark-down and promotional strategies versus being told what mark downs and promotions we have to offer by the department stores and boutique retailers.

We define “closet share” as the percentage (“share”) of a customer’s clothing units that (“of closet”) she or he owns in her or his closet and the amount of those units that go to the brands that are selling these units. For example, if a customer buys 20 units of clothing a year and the brands that we own represent 10 of those units purchased, then our closet share is 50% of that customer’s closet, or 10 of our branded units divided by 20 units they purchased in the entirety. Closet share is a ~~similar~~ similar concept to the widely used term wallet share,; it is just specific to the customer’s closet. The higher our closet share, the higher our revenue, as higher closet share suggests the customer is purchasing more of our brands than our competitors.

We have strategically expanded into an omnichannel brand offering these styles and content not only online but at selected wholesale and retail storefronts. We believe this approach provides us opportunities to successfully drive LTV, while increasing new customer growth.

Material Trends, Events and Uncertainties

Supply Chain Disruptions

We are subject to global supply chain disruptions, which may include longer lead times for raw fabrics, inbound shipping and longer production times. Supply chain issues have specifically impacted ~~the following for~~ our brands as follows:

● Increased costs in raw materials from fabric prices, which have increased 10% to 100% depending on the fabric, the time of year, and the origin of the fabric, as well as where the fabric is being shipped; ● Increased cost per kilo to ship via sea or air, which has increased from 25% to 300% depending on the time of year and ~~from~~ the country we are shipping from; ● Increased transit time via sea or air, which ~~have~~has increased by two weeks to two months; and ● Increased labor costs for producing the finished goods, which have increased 5% to 25% depending on the country and the labor skill required to produce the goods. We have been able to pass along some of these increased costs and also offset some of these increased costs with higher gross margin online revenue.

Seasonality

Our quarterly operating results vary due to the seasonality of our individual brands, and are historically stronger in the second half of the calendar year.

Substantial Indebtedness

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, we had an aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding of approximately $6.54 million. We believe this ~~is an~~ amount of indebtedness ~~which~~ may be considered significant for a company of our size and current revenue base. Our substantial debt could have important consequences to us. For example, it could:

	●	Make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness;

	●	Require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our debt, which would reduce the availability of our cash flows from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes;

	●	Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations;

	●	Place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors with proportionately less debt for their size;

	●	Limit our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness or borrow additional funds in the future;

	●	Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changing conditions in our business; and

	●	Limit our ability to react to competitive pressures or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have $3.5 million in notes outstanding pursuant to our Bailey acquisition. WeHowever, ~~are~~we ~~currently~~have ~~unable~~recently togenerated ~~repay~~cash orflows ~~refinance~~through ~~borrowings~~a private offering and sohave ~~any~~established ~~such~~business ~~action~~plans bythat ~~these~~we ~~lenders~~believe ~~could~~are ~~force~~sufficient to enable us ~~into~~to ~~bankruptcy~~repay orthe ~~liquidation~~outstanding notes, including principal, premium (if any), and interest on our indebtedness.

In addition, while our ability to make scheduled payments ~~on our indebtedness~~ or to refinance ~~our~~ obligations under our debt agreements, ~~will depend~~remains ~~on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, will be~~ subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions—as ~~and~~well toas the financial and business ~~risk~~risks ~~factors~~described weherein ~~face~~and ~~as described~~ in ~~this~~our ~~section,~~Annual ~~many~~Report ofon ~~which~~Form ~~may~~10-K befor ~~beyond~~the ~~our~~fiscal ~~control.~~year Weended ~~may~~December 31, ~~not~~2024—we bebelieve ~~able~~our tocurrent ~~maintain~~liquidity aposition ~~level~~and offorward-looking ~~cash~~strategies ~~flows~~provide ~~from operating activities sufficient to permit~~ us towith ~~pay~~ the ~~principal,~~necessary ~~premium,~~resources ifto ~~any,~~meet these ~~and~~obligations ~~interest~~as onthey ~~our~~come ~~indebtedness~~due.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures or planned growth objectives, seek to obtain additional equity capital or restructure our indebtedness. In the future, our cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient for payments of interest on and principal of our debt, and such alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, the recent worldwide credit crisis could make it more difficult for us to refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all.

In the absence of such operating results and resources, we may be required to dispose of material assets to meet our debt service obligations. We may not be able to consummate those sales, or, if we do, we will not control the timing of the sales or whether the proceeds that we realize will be adequate to meet debt service obligations when due.

Performance Factors

We believe that our future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:

● Ability to Increase Our Customer Base in both Online and Traditional Wholesale Distribution Channels. We are currently growing our customer base through both paid and organic online channels, as well as by expanding our presence in a variety of physical retail distribution channels. Online customer acquisitions typically occur at our direct websites for each brand. Our online customer acquisition strategies include paid and unpaid social media, search, display and traditional media. Our products for Bailey, DSTLD and Stateside are also sold through a growing number of physical retail channels, including specialty stores, department stores and online multi-brand platforms. ● Ability to Acquire Customers at a Reasonable Cost. We believe an ability to consistently acquire customers at a reasonable cost relative to customer retention rates, contribution margins and projected life-time value will be a key factor affecting future performance. To accomplish this goal, we intend to balance advertising spend between online and offline channels, as well as cross marketing and cross merchandising our portfolio brands and their respective products. We believe the ability to cross-merchandise products and cross-market brands, will decrease our customer acquisition costs while increasing the customer’s lifetime value and contribution margin. We will also balance marketing spend with advertising focused on creating emotional brand recognition, which we believe will represent a lower percentage of our spend. ● Ability to Drive Repeat Purchases and Customer Retention. We accrue substantial economic value and margin expansion from customer cohort retention and repeat purchases of our products on an annual basis. Our revenue growth rate and operating margin expansion will be affected by our customer cohort retention rates and the cohorts annual spend for both existing and newly acquired customers. ● Ability to Expand Our Product Lines. Our goal is to expand our product lines over time to increase our growth opportunity. Our customers’ annual spend and brand relevance will be driven by the cadence and success of new product launches. ● Ability to Expand Gross Margins. Our overall profitability will be impacted by our ability to expand gross margins through effective sourcing and leveraging buying power of finished goods and shipping costs, as well as pricing power over time. ● Ability to Expand Operating Margins. Our ability to expand operating margins will be impacted by our ability to leverage (i) fixed general and administrative costs; (ii) variable sales and marketing costs; (iii) elimination of redundant costs as we acquire and integrate brands; (iv) cross marketing and cross merchandising brands in our portfolio; and (v) drive customer retention and customer lifetime value. Our ability to expand operating margins will result from increasing revenue growth above our operating expense growth, as well as increasing gross margins. For example, we anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake the acquisition and integration of different brands, incur expenses associated with maintaining compliance as a public company, and increased marketing and sales efforts to increase our customer base. While we anticipate that the operating expenses in absolute dollars will increase, we do not anticipate that the operating expenses as a percentage of revenue will increase. We anticipate that the operating expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease as we eliminate duplicative costs across brands including a reduction in similar labor roles, contracts for technologies and operating systems and creating lower costs from higher purchasing power from shipping expenses to purchase orders of products. This reduction of expenses and lower cost per unit due to purchasing power should create meaningful savings in both dollars and as a percentage of revenue.

This reduction of expenses and lower cost per unit due to purchasing power should create meaningful savings in both dollars and as a percentage of revenue. As an example, we were able to eliminate several million in expenses within six months of acquiring Bailey. Examples of these savings include eliminating several Bailey teams, which our teams took over. We merged over half of the technology contracts and operating systems contracts from two brands into one brand contract at significant savings. We also eliminated our office space and rent and moved everyone into the Bailey office space. Finally, we eliminated DSTLD’s third-party logistics company and started using Bailey’s internal logistics. This resulted in an increase in our operating expenses in absolute dollars as there were now two brands versus one brand. However, the operating expenses as a percentage of pre-COVID revenue declined meaningfully and as we increase revenue for each brand, we expect to experience higher margins. ● Ability to Create Free Cash Flow. Our goal is to achieve near term free cash flow through cash flow positive acquisitions, elimination of redundant expenses in acquired companies, increasing customer annual spend and lowering customer acquisition costs through cross merchandising across our brand portfolio.

No Exposure to De de-Minimis

The Company does not use and has never used the “de minimis” exemption. The “de minimis” provision, which allowed duty-free entry for low-value imports (under $800), has been overturned for goods from China and Hong Kong, effective May 2, 2025. This means that goods imported from these countries, even if under the $800 threshold, will now be subject to tariffs.

A significant number of e-commerce retailers relied on the de minimis exemption, which the Company believes will require them to significantly increase their prices or to experience a significant decline in gross margin and profitability. The Company has been approached by several e-commerce companies with the de minimis exposure seeking to sell their company at meaningfully reduced valuations. The Company believes this change in the de minimis policy should reduce the number of online apparel brands, and create a less crowded marketplace.

~~1800 Diagonal Promissory Note~~34

On January 16, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with 1800 Diagonal Lending, LLC (the “1800 Diagonal”), pursuant to which 1800 Diagonal made a loan to the Company, evidenced by a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $121,900, including an original issue discount (“OID”) of $15,900 (the “Note”).

The Note provides that 1800 Diagonal and its affiliates may not own greater than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at any time, and that the total aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Note shall not exceed 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of January 16, 2025.

MavDB Vendor Agreement; Issuance of Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants

On or around January 21, 2025, the Company entered into a vendor agreement (the “Vendor Agreement”) with MavDB Consulting LLC (the “Vendor”). The Vendor’s engagement is for a five-year period and the vendor services to be provided include, but are not limited to, product content production, social media marketing, engagement of influencers and student athletes for product awareness, and event and staffing costs (the “Services”). In consideration for the Services, the Company agreed to pay the Vendor a fee equal to $3,000,000 (the “Cash Fee”) within 30 calendar days after the date of the Vendor Agreement (the “Payment Period”); provided, however, that Vendor may elect to receive the Vendor Shares (as defined below) and/or Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) as described below in lieu of the Cash Fee by providing written notice to the Company of such election during the Payment Period (the “Written Notice”). The “Vendor Shares” means a number of shares of common stock equal to the Cash Fee divided by $1.45; provided, however, if the issuance of any of the Vendor Shares would cause the Vendor to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then the Company shall instead issue to Vendor pre-funded warrants (the “Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants”) for the purchase of the amount of Vendor Shares in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation; provided, further, that if the Vendor specifies in the Written Notice that the Vendor elects to receive Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of the entire amount of the Vendor Shares, then the Company shall instead issue to Vendor the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase the entire amount of the Vendor Shares. The Vendor delivered the Written Notice to the Company during the Payment Period and the Company issued the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants for the purchase of 2,068,965 shares of common stock to Vendor on January 21, 2025.

The Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants have an initial exercise price per share of common stock equal to $0.01. The Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire five years after the issuance date of the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events. The Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of the Vendor, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise). The Vendor (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that the Vendor would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the Vendor to the Company, the Vendor may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the Vendor’s Pre-Funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the Vendor may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the number of shares of common stock determined according to a cashless formula set forth in the Vendor Pre-Funded Warrants.

3135

The Company offered Pre-Funded Warrants to those Purchasers whose purchase of common stock in the February 2025 Offering would have resulted in the Purchasers, together with their affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or at the election of the Purchasers, 9.99%) of the Company’s common stock immediately following the consummation of the February 2025 Offering in lieu of the common stock that would otherwise result in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or at the election of the Purchasers, 9.99%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised commencing on the issuance date and do not expire. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable for cash; provided, however, that they may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis if, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which will prohibit the exercise thereof, if upon such exercise the holder of the Warrants, its affiliates and any other persons or entities acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates would hold 4.99% (or, upon election of a Purchaser prior to the issuance of any shares, 9.99%) of the number of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the applicable holder, provided that the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation (up to a maximum of 9.99%) upon 60 days advance notice to the Company, which 60-day period cannot be waived.

The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing six months from the date of commencement of sales in the February 2025 Offering and expiring five years from the commencement of sales in the February 2025 Offering. During the aforementioned six-month period, the Placement Agent Warrant may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Placement Agent Warrant pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)(A).

The common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants, common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Warrants, common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Placement Agent Warrants, and common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants were offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284508), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 27, 2025, as amended, and was declared effective on February 11, 2025.

The Placement Agent acted as the exclusive placement agent for the February 2025 Offering pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement dated February 13, 2025 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Placement Agent. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary conditions to closing, representations and warranties of the Company, and termination rights of the parties, as well as certain indemnification obligations of the Company and ongoing covenants for the Company.

As compensation to the Placement Agent, as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the February 2025 Offering, the Company paid to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the February 2025 Offering (which amount shall not include any additional proceeds the Company may receive from the exercise of the Warrants, or the Pre-Funded Warrants, issued in the February 2025 Offering) and reimbursement of up to $150,000 for expenses of legal counsel and other actual out-of-pocket expenses.

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by $1.7 1 million to $12.93 million for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, compared to $3.64 million in the corresponding fiscal period in 2024. The decrease was primarily associated with the Company dropping its largest wholesale account due its very low gross margins and ~~operational~~ operational costs required to manage this account. The other major factor for the decline was limited cash for marketing for half the quarter until the S-1 closed in mid February, a delay in wholesale shipments, and lower ecommerce revenues across each brand due to less digital advertising spend.

The Company expects this decline in wholesale revenue to be offset in the remainder of 2025 as a result of the Company’s second largest wholesale account’s anticipated doubling of the number of its domestic retail doors from 50 to 100 and expansion of its international doors.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $0.7 million from a gross profit of $1.6 million for the corresponding fiscal period in 2024. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales, as well as approximately $0.5 million in inventory write-offs incurred in the second quarter of 2025.

Our gross margin was 32% for three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 46% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the inventory write offs recognized in 2025.

The Company expects gross margins to expand as revenues increase and leverage fixed costs, a higher mix of e-commerce revenue, which as higher gross margins and the mix of wholesale accounts with higher gross margins.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $3.8 million for the corresponding fiscal period in 2024. In April and May 2025, the Company eliminated significant headcount and related operating expenses associated with that headcount. The Company expects to reduce its operating expenses by an additional $0.7 million over the next 12 months associated with these reductions.

Other Expense

Other expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily consisting of interest expense.

Net Loss

Our net loss was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.5 million in 2024. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to less interest expense and lower operating expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Net Revenues

Net revenues decreased by $2.8 million to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.0 million in the corresponding fiscal period in 2024. The decrease was primarily associated with the Company dropping its largest wholesale account due its very low gross margins and operational costs required to manage this account. The other major factor for the decline was limited cash for marketing for half the first quarter until the closing of the February 2025 Offering, a delay in wholesale shipments, and lower ecommerce revenues across each brand due to less digital advertising spend.

This decline in wholesale revenue will be offset throughout the year by the Company’s second largest wholesale account asking to double the number of domestic retail doors from 50 to 100 and also expand to their international doors.

Despite limited marketing spend in the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s digital revenue increased over 80% from the previous quarter. Digital revenue continued to increase in the second quarter.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased by $01.87 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2025 to $01.95 million from a gross profit of $13.73 million for the corresponding fiscal period in 2024. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales, as well as approximately $0.5 million in inventory write-offs incurred in the second quarter of 2025.

Our ~~gross~~ gross margin was ~~46.6~~38% for ~~three~~the six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, compared to ~~48.1~~47% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2024. The decrease in ~~gross~~ gross margin was due to the deleverage associated with fixed costs in gross margins including warehouse and distribution rent, ~~patternmakers~~ patternmakers and other fixed costs over a lower revenue total, as well as approximately $0.5 million in inventory write-offs incurred in the second quarter of 2025.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses ~~increased~~decreased by $0.82 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.8 million for the corresponding fiscal period in 2024, primarily driven by the extinguishment of $1.3 million in accounts payable in the first quarter of 2024.

In April and May 2025, the Company eliminated significant headcount and related operating expenses associated with that headcount. The Company expects to reduce its operating expenses by an additional $~~700,000~~0.7 million over the next 12 months associated with these reductions.

Other Expense

Other expense was $0.13 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, compared to $01.57 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2024, ~~primarily~~ primarily consisting of interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Each of DBG, Bailey, Stateside and Sundry has historically satisfied both liquidity needs and funding of operations through borrowings capital raises and internally generated cash flow, Changes in working capital, are driven primarily by levels of business activity. Historically each of DBG, Bailey, Stateside and Sundry has maintained credit line facilities to support such working capital needs and makes repayments on that facility with excess cash flow from operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash of $2.2 million, but we had a working capital deficit of $8.2 million. The Company requires significant capital to meet its obligations as they become due. Throughout the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations primarily from the funds raised through its operations. The Company may pursue secondary equity offerings or debt financings to provide working capital and satisfy debt obligations. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available in the future. If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be forced to curtail or suspend its business plans.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $0.5 million and a working capital deficit of $8.9 million. The Company requires significant capital to meet its obligations as they become due. As of August 13, 2025, based on the current state of operations, the $15.0 million offering, the additional capital sources available to the Company, and the cash on hand of approximately $8 million, the Company believes that the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to meet its financial obligations for the next 12 months.

Aside from our remaining non-current SBA obligations, all outstanding loans have maturity dates through 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”) ~~and~~, and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission~~SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 ofpromulgated under the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information ~~required~~ ~~under~~required by this ~~item~~Item 3.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

35Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who serve as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. In making this evaluation, our management considered the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who serve as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. In making this evaluation, our management considered the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025.

We have initiated various remediation efforts, including the hiring of additional financial personnel/consultants with the appropriate public company and technical accounting expertise and other actions that are more fully described below. As such remediation efforts are still ongoing, we have concluded that the material weaknesses have not been fully remediated. Our remediation efforts to date have included the following:

	●	We have made an assessment of the basis of accounting, revenue recognition policies and accounting period cutoff procedures. In some cases, we made the necessary adjustments to convert the basis of accounting from cash basis to accrual basis. In all cases we have done the required analytical work to ensure the proper cutoff of the financial position and results of operations for the presented accounting periods.

	●	We have made an assessment of the current accounting personnel, financial reporting and information system environments and capabilities. Based on our preliminary findings, we have found these resources and systems lacking and have concluded that these resources and systems will need to be supplemented and/or upgraded. We are in the process of identifying a single, unified accounting and reporting system that can be used by the Company and Bailey, with the goal of ensuring consistency and timeliness in reporting, real time access to data while also ensuring ongoing data integrity, backup and cyber security procedures and processes.

	●	We engaged external consultants with public company and technical accounting experience to facilitate accurate and timely accounting closes and to accurately prepare and review the financial statements and related footnote disclosures. We plan to retain these financial consultants until such time that the internal resources of the Company have been upgraded and the required financial controls have been fully implemented.

	●	We have made an assessment on significant judgments and estimates, including impairment of long-lived assets and inventory valuation. We plan to take the steps as noted above to have the proper resources to conduct proper analyses on areas requiring judgments and estimates.

The actions that have been taken are subject to continued review, implementation and testing by management, as well as audit committee oversight. While we have implemented a variety of steps to remediate these weaknesses, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fully remediate them, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely meet our public company reporting requirements.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting ~~are~~is not effective and that material weaknesses exist, we believe that we have employed supplementary procedures to ensure that the financial statements contained in this filing fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reporting periods covered herein in all material respects.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ~~(Principal Executive Officer)~~ and Chief Financial Officer ~~(Principal Financial Officer)~~, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
