Sono Group N.V. (SSM) swings to loss as Bitcoin treasury and debt reshape balance sheet
Sono Group N.V. reported a shift to a Bitcoin-focused treasury and holding-company structure, with no revenue from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Continuing operations generated a loss of $3.3 million for the first half of 2026 and a net loss of $5.8 million, compared with net income in the prior-year period, while Sono Motors GmbH is presented as discontinued operations and was sold on May 4, 2026, triggering a $1.1 million loss on deconsolidation.
At June 30, 2026, total assets were $5.0 million, including $4.1 million of Bitcoin (69.78 BTC), and cash of $0.2 million, against total liabilities of $7.8 million and a shareholders’ equity deficit of $2.8 million. The company raised roughly $7.1 million in 2026 through convertible debentures and a pre-funded warrant, leading to $5.1 million of convertible notes outstanding and a related $1.2 million embedded conversion derivative liability. A digital asset treasury loss, net, of $0.9 million and a Munich lease right-of-use asset and liability of $0.6 million each were recorded. Management disclosed substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing limited liquidity, dependence on Bitcoin monetization and further financing, and noted a proposed redomiciliation from the Netherlands to Delaware.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Substantial doubt about going concern: management concluded recurring losses, limited liquidity, reliance on Bitcoin monetization and external financing raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
- Large net loss versus prior profit: the company recorded a $5.8 million net loss in the first half of 2026 compared with $8.8 million net income in the prior-year period, a material deterioration in results.
- Negative equity and leverage: shareholders’ equity stood at a $2.8 million deficit at June 30, 2026, with $7.8 million of liabilities and only $5.0 million of assets.
- Concentration and volatility risk in Bitcoin: $4.1 million of assets are held in Bitcoin under a covered-call strategy, which produced a $0.9 million digital asset loss in six months and exposes the company to significant market and derivative risks.
Filing Explained
The company remains liable for a $949 thousand Munich lease while its convertible debt could add shares only if conversion occurs.

If converted into ordinary shares, these instruments could increase the share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes; the filing reports conversion features as derivative liabilities, not as ordinary shares already issued. The proposed redomiciliation also remained incomplete: its registration statement had not been declared effective and shareholder approval and other formal steps were still required.

1. Organization and Description of Business
Sono Group N.V. (“Sono N.V.”) is a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company is registered in the business register at the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (trade register number: 80683568).
In November 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering, and its ordinary shares commenced trading on The Nasdaq Global Market on November 17, 2021 under the ticker symbol “SEV”. On February 15, 2024, Nasdaq filed a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to complete the delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares from Nasdaq. On July 2, 2024, the quoting of the Company’s ordinary shares commenced on OTCQB under the ticker symbol “SEVCF”. On September 4, 2025, the Company received approval to list its ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and the ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SSM” on September 5, 2025.
The business address of Sono N.V. as of the date of this Quarterly Report is 4965 Trinidad Drive, Land O’ Lakes, FL 34639, United States of America. Prior to the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, Sono N.V.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries were (i) Sono Motors GmbH, a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) (“Sono Motors GmbH”), registered in the commercial register (Handelsregister) at the local court (Amtsgericht) of Munich, Germany, under HRB 224131, with registered headquarters at Waldmeisterstraße 93, 80935 Munich, Germany, and (ii) Sono Group S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 8 Avenue de la Gare, L-1610 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which was funded with $14,067.60 (€12,000) for purposes of providing share capital and had no operations during the six months ended June 30, 2026. On May 4, 2026, Sono N.V. sold Sono Motors GmbH pursuant to a Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement, dated May 4, 2026 (the “SPA”), as a result of which Sono N.V. ceased to be the ultimate parent of Sono Motors GmbH on May 4, 2026. Hereinafter, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Sono Group”, “Sono”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or similar terms, refer to Sono N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods presented.
Sono Group historically intended to develop and manufacture electric vehicles with integrated solar panels (the “Sion passenger car program”) and to license its solar technology to other Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). On February 24, 2023, the Company announced the decision to terminate the Sion passenger car program and to pivot the business model to exclusively retrofitting and integrating Sono Group’s solar technology onto third party vehicles due to lack of available funding. As a consequence, management determined to apply for the opening of self-administration proceedings with respect to Sono N.V. and Sono Motors GmbH (the “Self-Administration Proceedings”) on May 15, 2023. Sono N.V. withdrew its application for Preliminary Self-Administration Proceedings on January 31, 2024, and Sono Motors GmbH exited its Self-Administration Proceedings on February 29, 2024. The Company reconsolidated Sono Motors GmbH effective March 1, 2024 following its exit from the Self-Administration Proceedings.
On March 14, 2026, the Company’s supervisory board resolved to terminate all current and future funding commitments to Sono Motors GmbH and to exit the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH, with immediate effect. On the same date, the Company’s management board, with the approval of the supervisory board, adopted a digital asset treasury strategy (the “Treasury Strategy”). Under the Treasury Strategy, the principal holding in the Company’s treasury reserve on its balance sheet is allocated to digital assets, principally Bitcoin(“Bitcoin” or “BTC”), by applying a covered-call yield strategy. In connection with the Treasury Strategy, on March 10, 2026, the Company entered into a 2002 ISDA Master Agreement, a related Schedule and a Credit Support Annex with Blockchain.com (BVI) II Limited (“Blockchain.com”), facilitating the Company to enter into derivative and/or hedging transactions to manage the risk associated with the Treasury Strategy.
As of March 31, 2026, management concluded that Sono Motors GmbH met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the planned disposition (which was completed on May 4, 2026, as further described in Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale)) represents a strategic shift that has had, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of operations of Sono Motors GmbH have been presented as discontinued operations, and the related assets and liabilities have been presented as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations classified as held for sale, for all periods presented. On May 4, 2026, the Company sold and transferred 100% of the outstanding share capital of Sono Motors GmbH to third-party purchasers. See Note 3 (Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis), Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale), Note 5 (Digital Assets), Note 6 (Written Covered Bitcoin Call Options), and Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) for additional information.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
On a consolidated basis, the Company’s operations during the periods presented are comprised of the parent company, Sono N.V., and, through the May 4, 2026 sale and deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH, Sono Motors GmbH. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the presentation of Sono Motors GmbH as a discontinued operation. In addition, effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its reporting currency from the euro to the U.S. dollar, and all prior-period financial information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements has been recast into U.S. dollars as if the U.S. dollar had been the Company’s reporting currency since the earliest period presented. See Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for additional information regarding the change in reporting currency.
2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and the non-recurring classification, reporting-currency, fair-value, discontinued-operations and financing-related adjustments described in these notes. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total assets, total liabilities, shareholders’ equity, net income (loss) or net decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Reporting currency and functional currency
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its reporting currency from the euro to the U.S. dollar. Management made the change to better align the Company’s financial reporting with its U.S.-dollar denominated financing activities, U.S. capital-markets reporting environment, and the Treasury Strategy following the Company’s strategic transition. The Company has recast all prior-period financial information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements into U.S. dollars as if the U.S. dollar had been the Company’s reporting currency since the earliest period presented. The change in reporting currency does not by itself change the underlying functional-currency determination for each distinct and separable operation.
Effective January 1, 2026, Sono Group N.V. determined that its functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Through the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, Sono Motors GmbH continued to have the euro as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of euro-functional operations are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at transaction-date rates or appropriate weighted-average exchange rates. Translation effects are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include going concern, held-for-sale and discontinued-operations classification and measurement, fair value measurements of digital assets and derivative liabilities, valuation of convertible notes and related debt discount, lease accounting assumptions, and income tax valuation allowances.
Digital assets and derivative instruments
Digital assets consisting principally of Bitcoin are accounted for under ASC 350-60. The Company’s Bitcoin holdings are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in net income each reporting period. Digital assets are presented as a separate line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not present digital asset fair-value changes, realized digital asset gains or losses, written-call premiums, derivative settlements or related execution fees as revenue from contracts with customers because such activities do not arise from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606.
Written covered Bitcoin call options are accounted for as freestanding derivative liabilities under ASC 815 unless a specific scope exception applies. Premiums received are consideration for assuming a derivative obligation and are not recorded as revenue. Written-call liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings unless hedge accounting is formally designated and documented. The Company has not designated hedge accounting for the arrangements reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The related economics are presented as digital asset treasury income or loss rather than revenue from contracts with customers.
Convertible debt, warrants and fair value measurements
The Company accounts for convertible debentures by recognizing the debt host net of unamortized debt discount and separately recognizing embedded conversion features that require bifurcation as derivative liabilities. Embedded conversion derivative liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible debentures.
The Company classifies pre-funded warrants in additional paid-in capital when the instruments meet the applicable equity-classification criteria. Cash proceeds from convertible debentures and pre-funded warrants are presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows, and equity-classified pre-funded warrant amounts are presented within shareholders’ equity.
Fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs. Bitcoin is measured using the BTC-USD spot price observed at 23:59:59 UTC on the reporting date from the market in which the Company transacts through Blockchain.com and is classified within Level 1. Written covered Bitcoin call options and embedded conversion derivative liabilities are classified within Level 3 when valuation uses significant unobservable inputs, including volatility, term, conversion or settlement assumptions, and probability-weighted outcomes.
The Company values written covered Bitcoin call options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, with key inputs including the Bitcoin spot price, option strike price, contractual term, and implied volatility derived from observable Bitcoin options market data where available. The embedded conversion derivative liabilities are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with key unobservable inputs including the Company's estimated credit-adjusted discount rate, probability-weighted conversion assumptions, and expected term. Changes in these inputs could result in materially different fair value measurements.
Credit risk and concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, digital assets, collateral arrangements and contractual rights arising from digital asset derivative activity. The Company maintains cash with financial institutions, holds Bitcoin and related rights through digital asset counterparties and custodial arrangements, and monitors counterparty and concentration risk; however, balances may exceed insured or protected limits and are subject to market, custody, liquidity and counterparty risks.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, Leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determined its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement of the Munich lease on May 1, 2026 by reference to the rate at which the Company could borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment to the lease, taking into consideration the Company's credit profile, the EUR-denominated nature of the lease, the going concern conditions existing at the commencement date, and the terms of the Company's outstanding convertible debentures as a market reference point for the Company’s cost of borrowing. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with terms of twelve months or less. Through May 4, 2026, the Company’s lease balances, including right-of-use assets, related to Sono Motors GmbH and were included in discontinued operations and the disposal group classified as held for sale; effective May 1, 2026, the right-of-use asset and lease liability for the Munich lease were re-established within continuing operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax balances are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled or realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the enactment date occurs. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company maintains full valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets, reflecting the uncertainty regarding their realizability given the Company's history of cumulative losses and going concern conditions. The Company does not currently have any unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 11 (Income Taxes) for additional information.
Reporting Operating Segment
The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") reviews and assesses performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer has the responsibility as the CODM to review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole. The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss).
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The guidance requires in-scope crypto assets to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income each reporting period and requires separate presentation and disclosure of crypto assets. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption because the Company did not hold material crypto assets at the adoption date. The guidance is applicable to the Company’s Bitcoin holdings acquired in connection with the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy (the “Treasury Strategy”).
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement, Reporting Comprehensive Income, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The guidance requires additional note disclosures about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the guidance on its disclosures.
The Company has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not expect them to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
3. Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis
The Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, in accordance with ASC 205-40. Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s obligations due within twelve months after the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, management completed financing transactions and strategic actions related to the Company’s transition to the Treasury Strategy and its exit from legacy solar operations. The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $
Management considered the financing transactions, implementation of the Treasury Strategy and exit from legacy solar operations in its liquidity analysis. Although these actions may reduce certain cash outflows and provide additional potential liquidity sources, the Company continues to depend on monetization of digital asset holdings, performance of the Treasury Strategy and availability of external financing, and management did not conclude that substantial doubt was alleviated.
Management’s plans to address these conditions include obtaining additional financing through further issuances of debt and equity securities, including pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement, sales of a portion of the Company’s Bitcoin holdings, and premium income generated from writing covered call options pursuant to the Treasury Strategy. The Company’s Bitcoin holdings serve as collateral for outstanding written covered call options, which are written on a weekly basis, and are available for sale upon expiration of the applicable options. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that sales of digital assets, at then-prevailing prices, together with premium income, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur professional fees and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described in Note 16 (Subsequent Events), the completion of which is not assured.
The Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity remains subject to significant uncertainties, including the price volatility and liquidity characteristics of digital assets, the terms and potential collateral requirements of transactions entered into in connection with the Treasury Strategy pursuant to the Credit Support Annex described in Note 5 (Digital Assets) and Note 6 (Written Covered Bitcoin Call Options), and the maturities of the convertible debentures issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which mature in 2027 and may require refinancing or conversion prior to or at maturity. Based upon this uncertainty, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern.
4. Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
On March 14, 2026, the Company’s supervisory board resolved to terminate all current and future funding commitments to Sono Motors GmbH and to exit the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH with immediate effect. The Company was in negotiations to sell Sono Motors GmbH before March 31, 2026 and executed the SPA on May 4, 2026. Management concluded that Sono Motors GmbH met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2026 and that the planned disposition (which was completed on May 4, 2026, as further described in Note 4) represents a strategic shift that has had, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
Management’s held-for-sale conclusion was based on the approval of a plan to sell Sono Motors GmbH, management’s commitment to the plan, active negotiations with a buyer, the availability of the disposal group for immediate sale in its then-present condition subject only to customary closing conditions, the expectation that the sale would be completed within one year, and the determination that actions required to complete the plan indicated it was unlikely that significant changes would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.
Management's analysis confirmed satisfaction of each of the six criteria required under ASC 360-10-45-9 for held-for-sale classification as of March 31, 2026: (i) management having the authority to approve the plan committed to a plan to sell the disposal group; (ii) the disposal group was available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer had been initiated; (iv) the sale was probable and expected to be completed within one year; (v) the disposal group was being actively marketed at a price reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) it was unlikely that significant changes to the plan would be made or that the plan would be withdrawn.
The disposal group was measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Based on the planned sale and nominal consideration subsequently documented in the executed SPA, management recognized a $
The results of operations of Sono Motors GmbH have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The related assets and liabilities have been presented separately as held for sale in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Parent-company public-company costs, SEC reporting costs, financing costs, digital-asset treasury costs and general holding-company overhead remain in continuing operations unless directly attributable to the discontinued component. The discontinued operation was reported within the Company’s single reportable segment.
As of December 31, 2025, certain lease-related amounts recorded by Sono N.V. related to lease arrangements associated with Sono Motors GmbH and the legacy solar business; because the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were attributable to the discontinued component, those amounts are included in discontinued operations and in the disposal group classified as held for sale. Following the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, the Company remained the lessee under the Munich lease, and the related right-of-use asset and lease liability were re-established within continuing operations effective May 1, 2026; see Note 10 (Leases).

5. Digital Assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company acquired Bitcoin as part of the Treasury Strategy. The Company’s digital asset holdings consist of Bitcoin and are presented separately on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for the Company’s accounting policies for crypto assets, written covered Bitcoin call options and digital asset treasury income (loss), net, and Note 7 (Fair Value Measurements) for the related fair value measurement disclosures.
The Company’s Bitcoin holdings expose the Company to concentration risk in a single digital asset and to market, custody, counterparty, regulatory, execution and liquidity risks. The fair value of Bitcoin may change materially over short periods, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each reporting period. Bitcoin holdings may also be affected by written-call option arrangements, collateral requirements, settlement mechanics and restrictions or practical limitations associated with custody or monetization.

7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures Bitcoin and derivative liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. For directly held Bitcoin, management identified the market in which the Company transacts through Blockchain.com as the principal market for the Company’s Bitcoin treasury transactions. Because Bitcoin trades continuously and does not have a single exchange closing time, the Company measures its period-end Bitcoin position using the BTC-USD spot price observed from that principal market at 23:59:59 UTC on the reporting date. For June 30, 2026, the spot price used was $59,007.48 per BTC. Bitcoin is classified as Level 1 because the valuation uses an observable quoted price in an active market. Written covered-call derivative liabilities and embedded conversion derivative liabilities are classified as Level 3 because valuation includes significant unobservable inputs. The Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025. The fair value hierarchy and Level 3 rollforward below present the same June 30, 2026 embedded conversion derivative liability balance as the balance sheet caption for derivative liabilities for embedded conversion features and the convertible debt table in Note 8. (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants).

10. Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842, Leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with terms of twelve months or less. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components.
The Company’s lease balances relate to the office building lease located at Waldmeisterstraße 93, 80935 Munich, Germany, originally associated with Sono Motors GmbH and the legacy solar business. The lease commenced March 1, 2021 with a
The lease is denominated in euros and provides for fixed monthly payments of EUR 13,954.25. The right-of-use asset and lease liability were re-established at EUR 549,522.12, translated at the April 30, 2026 spot rate of
In connection with the Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement described in Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale), the Company and the buyer agreed to use their best efforts to transfer the Munich lease to Sono Motors GmbH as lessee by no later than June 30, 2026, with a full release of the Company from further liability under the lease. The transfer was not completed as of June 30, 2026. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) for the related disclosures.
Following the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, the Company no longer occupies the Munich premises. Management identified the vacancy as a triggering event and evaluated the operating lease right-of-use asset for impairment under ASC 360-10-35. Because the Company retains both the intent and the ability to obtain economic benefit from the leased premises, through a transfer of the lease, a successor lessee or a negotiated termination with the landlord, the right-of-use asset has not been abandoned, and the asset was evaluated under the held and used model. For purposes of the assessment, the right-of-use asset was evaluated as its own asset group because the cash flows expected from the premises are largely independent of the cash flows of the Company’s other assets. Management concluded that the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset was recoverable at June 30, 2026, and no impairment was recognized. The assessment requires significant judgment, including estimates of the amount and timing of the cash flows expected from a transfer, a successor lessee or a negotiated termination, and a change in those estimates could result in an impairment charge in a future period.

11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company continues to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets where realization is not more likely than not. Income tax expense associated with discontinued operations was not material for the periods presented.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method as described in Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). The Company is subject to income taxation in the Netherlands and, for periods prior to the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, in Germany through its subsidiary. The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The absence of income tax expense reflects the Company's full valuation allowance position against its net deferred tax assets. The Company continues to maintain full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions where realization is not more likely than not, reflecting the Company's history of cumulative losses and the uncertainty regarding future taxable income described in Note 3 (Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis). Income tax expense or benefit associated with discontinued operations was not material for the periods presented. The Company does not currently have material unrecognized tax benefits or significant uncertain tax positions.

The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) column in the statement of shareholders’ equity reflects cumulative translation adjustments arising from the change in reporting- currency realignment and the translation of euro-functional operations, as described in Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). Total shareholders’ equity in the statement of shareholders’ equity reconciles to total shareholders’ equity presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for each period presented.

13. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to potentially dilutive securities when their effect is dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the three months ended June 30, 2025, potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because the Company reported a net loss for those periods and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive; diluted weighted-average shares outstanding therefore equal basic for those periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the computation of diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares relating to the convertible notes outstanding during that period.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Management is not currently aware of any matter that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, except as otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report.
The Company’s commitments and contingencies include matters associated with the exit from Sono Motors GmbH, lease-related obligations included in the discontinued operations disposal group, public-company obligations, financing arrangements and the Treasury Strategy.
Exit from Sono Motors GmbH. Matters associated with the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, including residual obligations and indemnification matters arising under the sale and purchase agreement. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) for additional information.
Munich Lease Obligations. Subsequent to the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, the Company remains the lessee under the lease for the Munich premises formerly used by Sono Motors GmbH. In June 2026, preliminary insolvency proceedings were opened with respect to Sono Motors GmbH. As a result, the contemplated transfer of the Munich lease to the new owners of Sono Motors GmbH has not been completed, and the Company continues to be obligated under the lease, which has a remaining term through April 30, 2031 and aggregate undiscounted future payments of approximately $949 thousand. The Company is monitoring the status of the insolvency proceedings and their potential impact on the Company's lease obligations. See Note 10 (Leases) for the maturity analysis of the Munich lease liability.
Public-Company Obligations. Matters associated with the Company's ongoing public-company reporting obligations, including obligations and costs related to the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described in Note 16 (Subsequent Events).
Financing Arrangements. Matters associated with the Company's convertible debentures issued to Yorkville during 2026, including the debentures' maturity in 2027 and potential obligations upon conversion or at maturity. See Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) and Note 15 (Related Party Transactions) for additional information.
Treasury Strategy. Matters associated with the Company's Bitcoin collateral obligations under the ISDA Master Agreement and Credit Support Annex with Blockchain.com, and risks arising from written covered Bitcoin call options. See Note 2 (Basis of Presentation), Note 3 (Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis), Note 5 (Digital Assets) and Note 6 (Written Covered Bitcoin Call Options) for additional information.
15. Related Party Transactions
The Company evaluates relationships and transactions for related-party disclosure under applicable SEC and U.S. GAAP requirements. The Company considered its financing arrangements, preferred share arrangements, voting limitations, conversion rights, applicable beneficial-ownership limitations, including the 4.99% limitation, and other contractual arrangements with Yorkville in evaluating related-party disclosure. Based on this evaluation and consistent with the Company’s historical treatment of similar arrangements, management identified Yorkville as a related party on the basis that YA II PN, Ltd. is the sole holder of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Shares, which constitute 100% of that class of the Company’s issued share capital, and that Yorkville has maintained a long-standing and material financing relationship with the Company. See Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) and Note 12 (Shareholders’ Equity) for additional information. No additional related-party transactions have been identified other than matters disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report relating to financing, governance and the disposition of the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH.
16. Subsequent Events
Proposed Redomiciliation Transaction
On July 14, 2026, the Company’s management board and supervisory board unanimously approved a proposal to change the legal seat of the Company from the Netherlands, via Luxembourg, to the State of Delaware, to be effected through two substantially concurrent transactions: (i) a cross-border merger of the Company with and into Sono Group S.à r.l., a wholly owned Luxembourg subsidiary of the Company to be transformed into a public limited company (société anonyme) prior to the merger (“Sono Luxembourg”), with Sono Luxembourg being the surviving entity and succeeding the Company as the SEC registrant, and (ii) as soon as practicable thereafter, the conversion of Sono Luxembourg into a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name “Sono Group, Inc.” (collectively, the “Redomiciliation Transaction”). On July 15, 2026, Sono Luxembourg filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-297478), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement filed with the SEC on August 4, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”), which includes a proxy statement/prospectus for the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held for the purpose of voting on the Redomiciliation Transaction and the other proposals described in the Registration Statement, and which has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. Completion of the Redomiciliation Transaction is subject to, among other things, the Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC, receipt of the requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders, submission of a notification form to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the lapse of certain mandatory waiting periods and the fulfillment of statutory formalities under Dutch and Luxembourg law, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction will be completed. The Redomiciliation Transaction is structured to preserve shareholders’ existing economic and voting interests in the Company, and, if completed, will change only the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and legal form and is expected to be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, with no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, other than professional fees and other transaction costs, which are expensed as incurred. For a description of the treatment of each class of the Company’s shares in the Redomiciliation Transaction, refer to the Registration Statement.

Business Overview
During the period from January 1, 2026 through March 14, 2026, our business consisted of the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH.
On March 14, 2026, the Company’s supervisory board resolved to terminate all current and future funding commitments to Sono Motors GmbH and to exit the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH with immediate effect. The Company’s decision was driven by Sono Motors GmbH’s historical lack of profitability, which has resulted in the Company having to continuously provide funding to Sono Motors GmbH, and thus incur losses, and a determination by our management board that there was not a clear path for Sono Motors GmbH to achieve profitability in a reasonably desirable timeframe, and thereby avoid future losses to the Company. This decision was made in conjunction with the decision on March 14, 2026 by our management board, with the approval of our supervisory board, to adopt the Treasury Strategy effective that same day. Under the Treasury Strategy, the principal holding in our treasury reserve on our balance sheet is allocated to digital assets, principally Bitcoin (“Bitcoin” or “BTC”), by applying a covered-call yield strategy. The Treasury Strategy is projected to generate cash flow for the Company in the first year of its execution. The Company is also exploring other strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We intend to solicit the ratification by our shareholders of our engagement in the Treasury Strategy at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. Under Dutch law, the ratification by our shareholders of our engagement in the Treasury Strategy is required to successfully implement the Treasury Strategy.
In connection with the Treasury Strategy, on March 10, 2026, Sono N.V. entered into a 2002 ISDA Master Agreement with Blockchain.com (the “ISDA Master Agreement”), facilitating Sono N.V. to enter into derivative and/or hedging transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) to manage the risk associated with the Treasury Strategy. The derivative and hedging transactions are governed by the ISDA Master Agreement, including the related Schedule executed on March 10, 2026 (the “Schedule”). The structure of the Transactions may include forwards, swaps, futures, options or other derivative transactions in respect of digital assets. In addition, Sono N.V. and Blockchain.com entered into a Credit Support Annex to the Schedule, dated as of March 10, 2026 (the “Credit Support Annex”), which sets forth the terms upon which Sono N.V. is required to deliver additional collateral to Blockchain.com (and Blockchain.com is required to return collateral to Sono N.V.) depending upon the mark-to-market exposure under the ISDA Master Agreement and the value of the collateral. The ISDA Master Agreement, the Schedule and the Credit Support Annex are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Through May 4, 2026, Sono Motors GmbH was presented as a discontinued operation and disposal group classified as held for sale; on May 4, 2026, Sono Motors GmbH was sold and deconsolidated. Our continuing operations consist of parent-company activities, public-company obligations, financing-related items and our digital asset treasury activities. As a result of these developments, our financial information for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report may in many respects not be comparable to our historical financial information.
We operate as a single business segment.
Recent Developments
Proposed Redomiciliation Transaction
On July 14, 2026, the Company’s management board and supervisory board unanimously approved a proposal to change the legal seat of the Company from the Netherlands, via Luxembourg, to the State of Delaware, to be effected through two substantially concurrent transactions: (i) a cross-border merger of the Company with and into Sono Luxembourg, a wholly owned Luxembourg subsidiary of the Company to be transformed into a public limited company (société anonyme) prior to the merger, with Sono Luxembourg being the surviving entity and succeeding the Company as the SEC registrant, and (ii) as soon as practicable thereafter, the conversion of Sono Luxembourg into a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name “Sono Group, Inc.”. Sono Luxembourg has filed with the SEC the Registration Statement, which includes a proxy statement/prospectus for the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held for the purpose of voting on the Redomiciliation Transaction and the other proposals described in the Registration Statement, and which has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. Completion of the Redomiciliation Transaction is subject to, among other things, the Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC, receipt of the requisite approval by the Company’s shareholders, submission of a notification form to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the lapse of certain mandatory waiting periods and the fulfillment of statutory formalities under Dutch and Luxembourg law, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction will be completed. The Redomiciliation Transaction is structured to preserve shareholders’ existing economic and voting interests in the Company, and, if completed, will change only the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and legal form. The Company expects to continue to incur professional fees and other transaction costs in connection with the Redomiciliation Transaction, which are expensed as incurred. See Note 16 (Subsequent Events) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information, including the expected accounting treatment of the Redomiciliation Transaction, and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report for information regarding related risk factors.
Munich Lease and Insolvency of former subsidiary Sono Motors GmbH
In June 2026, preliminary insolvency proceedings (vorläufiges Insolvenzverfahren) were opened in Germany with respect to Sono Motors GmbH, the former subsidiary of the Company that was sold on May 4, 2026. The Company holds no ownership interest in, and has no funding commitments to, Sono Motors GmbH, and Sono Motors GmbH’s results are not included in the Company’s continuing operations. The Company remains the lessee under the lease agreement for the premises in Munich, Germany formerly used by Sono Motors GmbH in the legacy solar operations. The contemplated transfer of the lease to Sono Motors GmbH has not been completed as a result of the preliminary insolvency proceedings, and the Company is pursuing a transfer of the lease, a successor lessee or a negotiated termination of the lease with the landlord, while reserving its claims in respect of Sono Motors GmbH’s use of the premises. There can be no assurance as to the timing or outcome of these efforts, and the Company expects to remain obligated under the lease until a transfer, replacement or termination is completed. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We did not generate revenue from continuing operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue generated by the legacy solar operations conducted through Sono Motors GmbH has been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Digital Asset Treasury Loss, Net
Digital asset treasury income (loss), net consists of (i) realized and unrealized fair-value changes on Bitcoin holdings, (ii) realized gains or losses on settlement, expiration or close-out of written covered Bitcoin call options accounted for as freestanding derivative liabilities, and (iii) fair-value changes on open written covered Bitcoin call option positions. Premiums received on written covered call options are consideration for assuming a derivative obligation and are not recorded as revenue from contracts with customers. See Note 5 (Digital Assets) and Note 6 (Written Covered Bitcoin Call Options) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include professional fees (including legal, audit, accounting and financing- and transaction-related fees), public-company and SEC reporting costs, insurance, office and rent expense, software and subscriptions and other holding-company overhead.
Change in Fair Value of Debt and Derivative Instruments
Change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments represents period-to-period fair-value remeasurements of (i) certain predecessor convertible notes that were accounted for under the fair-value election and (ii) the embedded conversion derivative liabilities bifurcated from the convertible debentures issued during 2026, which are accounted for using the debt-host plus embedded-derivative model, in each case with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair-value election is not applicable to the convertible debentures issued during 2026; accordingly, remeasurements of convertible notes under the fair-value election are not expected to recur in respect of the convertible debentures issued during 2026. See Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Debt Discount
Interest expense, including amortization of debt discount consists of contractual coupon interest accrued on outstanding convertible debentures and amortization of the related debt discount over the term of the instruments.
Foreign Currency Loss, Net
Foreign currency gain (loss), net consists of realized and unrealized gains and losses arising on monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency.
Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax represents the results of operations of Sono Motors GmbH, which has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in connection with our decision to terminate funding to, and exit the legacy solar operations conducted through, Sono Motors GmbH. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Loss on Deconsolidation of Subsidiary
Loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary represents the loss recognized upon the sale of Sono Motors GmbH on May 4, 2026, measured as the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of Sono Motors GmbH's net assets at the date of deconsolidation, including the derecognition of Sono Motors GmbH's assets and liabilities and amounts of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Sono Motors GmbH reclassified to earnings, principally cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. This line item relates to the completed exit from the legacy solar operations and is not expected to recur. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Digital Asset Treasury Loss, Net
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, digital asset treasury loss, net was $578 thousand, consisting principally of unrealized fair-value remeasurement losses on Bitcoin holdings, partially offset by net premium income from written covered Bitcoin call options. We did not hold digital assets and did not write covered Bitcoin call options during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $1,401 thousand, compared to $768 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase principally reflects higher professional fees associated with the convertible debenture and pre-funded warrant financings, the preparation of the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described in Note 16 (Subsequent Events), the exit from the legacy solar operations and continuing public-company costs. General and administrative expenses related to the legacy solar operations have been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Change in Fair Value of Debt and Derivative Instruments
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net gain of $116 thousand on the change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments, compared to a gain of $1,316 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The amounts are not directly comparable between periods. The gain recognized in the 2025 period arose from the fair-value remeasurement of the predecessor convertible debentures, which were accounted for under the fair-value election; the fair-value election is not applicable to the convertible debentures issued during 2026, which are accounted for using the debt-host plus embedded-derivative model, and the amount recognized in the 2026 period accordingly reflects changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative liabilities associated with those debentures. The three-month 2026 amount presents the quarter after allocating the correction recorded on April 1, 2026 to the first quarter, to which it relates; see Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). See Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Debt Discount
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense, including amortization of debt discount, was $468 thousand, consisting of accrued coupon interest on the convertible debentures and amortization of the related debt discount. There was no comparable interest expense recognized in continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, because the predecessor convertible notes were accounted for at fair value, with all changes in fair value recognized within the fair-value line item.
Foreign Currency Loss, Net
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded no foreign currency gain or loss within continuing operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized net foreign currency gains of $174 thousand within continuing operations.
Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $345 thousand, compared to $1,246 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects the wind-down of operating activity at Sono Motors GmbH following our March 14, 2026 decision to terminate funding to, and exit, the legacy solar operations, and the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, after which Sono Motors GmbH’s results are no longer included in the Company’s results.
Loss on Deconsolidation of Subsidiary
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a loss on deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH of $1,101 thousand in connection with the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, with no comparable amount in the 2025 period. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Net Loss
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we reported a net loss of $3,777 thousand, compared to a net loss of $524 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net loss principally reflects the $1,101 thousand loss on deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH, a lower net gain on the change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments ($116 thousand in the 2026 period, compared to $1,316 thousand in the 2025 period, which is not directly comparable, as described above), higher general and administrative expenses (an increase of $633 thousand, from $768 thousand in the 2025 period to $1,401 thousand in the 2026 period), the digital asset treasury loss, net, of $578 thousand and interest expense of $468 thousand on the convertible debentures issued during 2026, partially offset by a $901 thousand decrease in loss from discontinued operations.

Digital Asset Treasury Loss, Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, digital asset treasury loss, net was $890 thousand, consisting principally of unrealized fair-value remeasurement losses on Bitcoin holdings, partially offset by net premium income from written covered Bitcoin call options. We did not hold digital assets and did not write covered Bitcoin call options during the three or six months ended June 30, 2025.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $2,293 thousand, compared to $1,198 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase principally reflects higher professional fees associated with the Treasury Strategy, the convertible debenture and pre-funded warrant financings, the preparation of the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described in Note 16 (Subsequent Events), the exit from the legacy solar operations and continuing public-company costs. General and administrative expenses related to the legacy solar operations have been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Change in Fair Value of Debt and Derivative Instruments
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a net gain of $462 thousand on the change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments, compared to a gain of $12,191 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As described under "Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025, Change in Fair Value of Debt and Derivative Instruments," the amounts are not directly comparable between periods: the 2025 gain arose from the fair-value remeasurement of the predecessor convertible debentures under the fair-value election, while the 2026 amount reflects changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion derivative liabilities associated with the convertible debentures issued during 2026, which are accounted for using the debt-host plus embedded-derivative model. The six-month amount is unaffected by the allocation of the correction described in Note 2. See Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Interest Expense, Including Amortization of Debt Discount
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense, including amortization of debt discount, was $614 thousand, consisting of accrued coupon interest on the convertible debentures and amortization of the related debt discount. There was no comparable interest expense recognized in continuing operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2025, because the predecessor convertible notes were accounted for at fair value, with all changes in fair value recognized within the fair-value line item.
Foreign Currency Loss, Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded no foreign currency gain or loss within continuing operations, and for the six months June 30, 2025, we recognized net foreign currency gains of $516 thousand within continuing operations.
Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $1,356 thousand, compared to $2,731 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects the wind-down of operating activity at Sono Motors GmbH following our March 14, 2026 decision to terminate funding to, and exit, the legacy solar operations, and the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, after which Sono Motors GmbH’s results are no longer included in the Company’s results.
Loss on Deconsolidation of Subsidiary
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a loss on deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH of $1,101 thousand in connection with the May 4, 2026 sale of Sono Motors GmbH, with no comparable amount in the 2025 period. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Net Income (Loss)
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we reported a net loss of $5,792 thousand, compared to net income of $8,778 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change from net income to a net loss principally reflects a substantially lower net gain on the change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments ($462 thousand in the 2026 period, compared to $12,191 thousand in the 2025 period, which is not directly comparable, as described above), the $1,101 thousand loss on deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH, offset by a $1,375 thousand decrease in loss from discontinued operations, higher general and administrative expenses ($2,293 thousand in the 2026 period, compared to $1,198 thousand in the 2025 period, an increase of $1,095 thousand), the digital asset treasury loss, net, of $890 thousand, interest expense of $614 thousand on the convertible debentures issued during 2026 and a lower net foreign currency loss of $3 thousand in the 2026 period, compared to a net foreign currency gain of $516 thousand in the 2025 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were $166 thousand, compared to $205 thousand as of December 31, 2025. Cash consists of cash in bank accounts.
We do not currently generate revenue from continuing operations and we continue to incur operating expenses related to holding-company overhead and public-company compliance costs. Following the adoption of the Treasury Strategy and the cessation of funding to Sono Motors GmbH in the first quarter of 2026, our liquidity position is principally dependent on the performance of our digital asset holdings and the cash flows generated through the Treasury Strategy, supplemented as necessary by external financing, including equity and equity-linked financings and debt instruments.

|
● |
Purchases of Bitcoin in connection with the Treasury Strategy. |
|
● |
Cash used in the operations of Sono Motors GmbH, which have been classified within discontinued operations. |
Liquidity Outlook and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and historically negative cash flows from operations since inception, primarily attributable to the operations of Sono Motors GmbH, which has been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented; on May 4, 2026, the Company sold and transferred 100% of the outstanding share capital of Sono Motors GmbH to third-party purchasers. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of $3,335 thousand and a net loss of $5,792 thousand, and as of June 30, 2026 had cash and cash equivalents of $166 thousand, Bitcoin with a fair value of $4,118 thousand and an accumulated deficit of $339.2 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, management completed financing transactions and strategic actions related to the Company’s transition to the Treasury Strategy and its exit from legacy solar operations. These actions, which are more fully described under “Sources and Uses of Liquidity” above and in Note 3 (Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis), Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale), Note 8 (Convertible Notes, Embedded Derivatives and Pre-Funded Warrants) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, included: (i) raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.1 million through the issuance of the Q1 2026 Debentures to Yorkville on January 26, 2026, February 19, 2026 and March 10, 2026, respectively, in the aggregate principal amount of $4.35 million, the issuance to Yorkville on March 10, 2026 of a pre-funded warrant for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million, and the issuance to Yorkville on April 28, 2026 of the April 2026 Debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $700 thousand; (ii) using a substantial portion of the proceeds to implement the Treasury Strategy, including the acquisition of Bitcoin and entry into an institutional framework with Blockchain.com in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement and the related Schedule and Credit Support Annex; and (iii) terminating all current and future funding commitments to Sono Motors GmbH and completing the Company’s exit from the legacy solar operations through the execution and consummation of the SPA pursuant to which Sono Motors GmbH was sold on May 4, 2026, which management expects to reduce certain of the Company’s ongoing cash outflows. These actions are relevant to management’s liquidity plans and operating strategy, but they did not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans to address these conditions include obtaining additional financing through further issuances of debt and equity securities, including pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement, sales of a portion of the Company’s Bitcoin holdings, and premium income generated from writing covered call options pursuant to the Treasury Strategy. The Company’s Bitcoin holdings serve as collateral for outstanding written covered call options, which are written on a weekly basis, and are available for sale upon expiration of the applicable options. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that sales of digital assets, at then-prevailing prices, together with premium income, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur professional fees and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Redomiciliation Transaction described under “Recent Developments” above and in Note 16 (Subsequent Events), the completion of which is not assured.
The Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity remains subject to significant uncertainties, including, among other things, the price volatility and liquidity characteristics of digital assets, the terms and potential collateral requirements of transactions entered into in connection with the Treasury Strategy pursuant to the Credit Support Annex, the Company’s continuing obligations under the lease for the Munich premises formerly used by Sono Motors GmbH, the contemplated transfer of which has not been completed as a result of the preliminary insolvency proceedings opened with respect to Sono Motors GmbH in June 2026, as described under “Recent Developments” above, and the maturities in 2027 of the convertible debentures issued during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which may require us to negotiate a refinancing or conversion prior to or at maturity. Based upon this uncertainty, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern.
See Note 3 (Liquidity and Going Concern Analysis) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information.

Net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,089 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5,353 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The current period reflects a net loss of $5,792 thousand adjusted for noncash items, including the $1,101 thousand loss on deconsolidation of Sono Motors GmbH, $890 thousand of digital asset treasury loss, net, $424 thousand of amortization of debt discount and the $462 thousand net gain on change in fair value of debt and derivative instruments, together with a $1,078 thousand increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $189 thousand of accrued interest payable, partially offset by $708 thousand of cash funding of discontinued operations. The prior-year period reflects net income of $8,778 thousand adjusted for the $12,191 thousand noncash gain on change in fair value of convertible notes payable carried at fair value, together with the changes in operating assets and liabilities and the funding of the disposal group presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Net cash used in operating activities presented above reflect only the continuing operations of the Company. See Note 4 (Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale) for cash flow information related to the discontinued operations of Sono Motors GmbH, including the operating cash use of the disposal group and the cash of Sono Motors GmbH derecognized upon deconsolidation.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $5,000 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, reflecting purchases of Bitcoin in connection with the Treasury Strategy. Investing activities provided no cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,050 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulting from gross proceeds of $4,350 thousand received in connection with the issuance of the Q1 2026 Debentures, gross proceeds of $2,000 thousand received in connection with the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant and gross proceeds of $700 thousand received in connection with the issuance of the April 2026 Debenture. Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,397 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting from net draws on convertible notes accounted for under the fair-value election.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K, except for the addition of digital asset and derivative liability fair-value measurement and the change in reporting currency described in Note 2 (Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, our management team, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the unremediated material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below and in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our 2025 Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026.
Material Weakness
A “material weakness” is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The previously identified material weaknesses described in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our 2025 Form 10-K relate to: (i) a lack of consistent and proper application of processes and procedures; (ii) the design and operating effectiveness of information technology general controls for information systems that are significant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements; (iii) a lack of review and supervision; (iv) the sufficiency of resources with an appropriate level of technical accounting and SEC reporting experience; and (v) clearly defined control processes, roles and segregation of duties within our finance and accounting functions.
We are continuing to implement the remediation measures described in our 2025 Form 10-K, including the hiring of additional accounting staff, the appointment of a new chief financial officer with the requisite skills to address technical accounting and reporting issues, the engagement of third-party advisors to support our internal resources related to accounting and internal controls, ongoing internal training for our accounting and finance teams and continued investment in our finance information-technology systems. As of June 30, 2026, we are still in the process of remediating the previously identified material weaknesses. The change in reporting currency, the discontinued operations presentation, digital asset accounting, derivative valuation, convertible debt accounting and related SEC reporting requirements have increased the complexity of our control environment, and we are taking additional remediation steps to address these matters, including additional technical accounting review and additional support from third-party advisors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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 the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
