EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation, “ConnectM,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), consummated its previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 31, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Chronos Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and ConnectM Operations, Inc. (f/k/a ConnectM Technology Solutions Inc., “Legacy ConnectM”), following the approval at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on July 10, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy ConnectM, with Legacy ConnectM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “business combination”). On the Closing Date, the Company changed its name from “Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation” to “ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.”
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “registrant” and the “Company” refer to MCAC prior to the Closing and to the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing and “ConnectM” refers to ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing and the business of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries following the Closing. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the same meaning as set forth in the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 17, 2024 by MCAC.
The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), is now listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “CNTM”. The Company intends to list the warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”) on the OTC Market. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect the operations of ConnectM for prior periods, as ConnectM is the accounting acquirer and predecessor. Until the Merger, MCAC neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue, and based on its business activities, MCAC was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

CONNECTM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
(SUCCESSOR TO MONTEREY CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (“ConnectM” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on July 19, 2016, under the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On March 22, 2019, the Company re-domesticated under the laws of the state of Delaware. ConnectM is a clean energy technology and solutions provider for residential and light commercial buildings and all-electric original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), with a proprietary digital platform to accelerate the transition to solar and all-electric heating, cooling and transportation. The Company’s technology platform encompasses marketing to life cycle management, customer care to claims processing, finance to rebates/incentives. The Company’s architecture melds artificial intelligence with the humankind, and learns from the data it generates to become better at providing technology solutions to customers and quantifying customer lifetime value. In addition to digitizing electrification end-to-end, we also reimagined the underlying business model to minimize customer churn while maximizing trust and improving environmental impact.
The Company uses its proprietary full-stack technology platform and network of electro-mechanical assets: Intelligent Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) appliances, Electric Vehicle (“EV”) chargers, and solar products to provide its full suite of services to its customers. The Company is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts and has grown significantly through its acquisition-focused strategy. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ConnectM, its fully owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest.
On July 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, consummated its previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 31, 2022, by and among the Company, Chronos Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and ConnectM Operations, Inc. (f/k/a ConnectM Technology Solutions Inc., “Legacy ConnectM”), following the approval at a special meeting of the stockholders of Monterrey Capital Acquisition Corporation held on July 10, 2024.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy ConnectM, with Legacy ConnectM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “business combination”). On the Closing Date, Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation changed its name to “ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.”
The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, and as such all shares, options, and warrants have been retroactively adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio in the agreement.
As of the open of trading on July 15, 2024, the Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CNTM.”
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements here within are presented in thousands with the exception of share data, which are presented in whole U.S dollars.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company incurred net losses of $
The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising capital through issuances of debt and equity securities, and extending existing debt agreements. A failure to raise sufficient financing and/or extend existing debt agreements, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives.
Accordingly, based on the considerations discussed above, management has concluded there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain required disclosures relating to our significant accounting policies are disclosed below.
Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and records any identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. Intangible assets are recorded at their fair value based on estimates as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded as the residual amount of the purchase price consideration less the fair value assigned to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of the fair value at the dates of the acquisition.
The results of operations for an acquired business are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill
Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired.
The Company accounts for goodwill under ASC Topic 350- Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which does not permit amortization, but instead requires the Company to perform an annual impairment review, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be more likely. The Company evaluates the facts and circumstances as of the end of each reporting period to determine whether a triggering event exists that may indicate the fair value of the Company’s identified reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and thus if goodwill is impaired. If it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company tests goodwill for impairment, in which the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value (if any), not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has determined that

Net Loss Per Share
EPS is computed by dividing the sum of distributed and undistributed earnings for each class of stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each class of stock for each period presented in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Diluted net loss per share includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. Given the Company is in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share.
The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for all the periods and scenarios presented because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect:

Investment Recorded at Cost
The Company accounts for its investment in cost securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments — Cost Securities (“ASC 321”). Cost investments are comprised of investments in a private corporation, for which the fair value cannot be readily determinable nor does the investment qualify for the practical expedient to be valued at net asset value (NAV). As such, the Company has elected the measurement alternative afforded by ASC 321 to account for this investment at cost.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $
The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment in cost securities are impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Company estimates the investment’s fair value, and if the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Through September 30, 2024, the Company has determined that no indicators of impairment were triggered through its qualitative analysis, which utilizes external factors such as the health of the United States Stock Market, as well as information provided to the Company by the Company’s cost method investee. As such,
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign-currency risks. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company accounts for its Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the forward purchase agreement asset at fair value at each reporting period. The assets are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments
10
in ASU 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to disclose significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 — REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Lastly, our Managed Services business segment was created with the entering into the Company’s Managed Service Arrangements, focuses on managing the day-to-day operations for third party businesses that compete in the solar and HVAC industry.
In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating (loss) income from operations as a segment’s measure of profit or loss.

Certain corporate assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses and property, plant and equipment are not allocated to the segments. The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described above in the summary of significant accounting policies.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is from time to time subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business.
The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account its best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company’s estimate involve significant judgement, given the varying stages of proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings.
In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company’s experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter’s current status and the damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more or less than the current estimate.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there are no matters for which a reserve is required to be established.
On February 26, 2024, Robert Zrallack and RJZ Holdings LLC (the “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Aurai LLC, ConnectM Florida RE LLC, and Florida Solar Products, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, in the Circuit Court for the 19th Judicial Circuit (St. Lucie County, Florida). In this suit, the plaintiffs allege various contract claims arising out of a transaction under which Aurai acquired Florida Solar Products, Inc. from Mr. Zrallack in 2022 and ConnectM Florida RE LLC acquired certain real estate from RJZ Holdings LLC in 2022 from which Florida Solar Products operates. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege breach of the stock purchase agreement and certain promissory notes in connection with the purchase of Florida Solar Products, Inc. and the related real estate, as well as breach of a services agreement with Mr. Zrallack. The Company believes the Plaintiffs’ claims have no merit and plans to assert counterclaims against the Plaintiffs in connection with the underlying transactions. The Company is defending itself in this matter. Currently, the Company prevailed on a motion to compel arbitration, so the lawsuit is stayed, and the Court ordered the entire case to arbitration.
On August 02, 2024, Benjamin Securities, Inc (“Benjamin”) has commenced a lawsuit against the ConnectM Parties in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, bearing Index No. 157042//2024 (the “Litigation”). On June 26, 2024, the Company and Benjamin entered into certain Capital Markets Advisory Agreement with an amendment on July 12, 2024. In the lawsuit, Benjamin claimed that the Company agreed but failed to pay Benjamin as contractually required. Subsequently on October 2, 2024, the Company and Benjamin reached a settlement agreement for the Company to meet its contractual obligation. This amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2024 and is included in Accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level I – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
27
Level II – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company effectuates transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, if any, as of the date of the actual circumstance that caused the transfer.
Debt
The Company evaluated whether any of the embedded features associated with the different Convertible Notes issued throughout 2022 required bifurcation as a separate component of equity. The Company elected the fair value option (FVO) under ASC Topic 825- Financial Instruments, as the different Convertible Notes are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the FVO, the Company recognized each of the Convertible notes as hybrid debt instruments at fair value, inclusive of the embedded feature with changes in fair value related to changes in the Company’s credit risk being recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other changes in fair value were recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the convertible notes issued throughout 2022 and 2023 were measured using unobservable inputs through June 30, 2024. The most significant of which was the discount rate, which was determined to be
The 2024 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $
To determine the value at maturity, the Company used a discounted cash flow model using a discount rate of
● | Stock price of $ |
● | Exercise price of $ |
● | A remaining term of |
● | A risk free rate of |
● | Annualized volatility of |
The fair value as of September 30, 2024 was determined to be $
Within five days of the maturity date of the EFH Convertible Note, the Company may elect to convert the EFH Convertible Note into shares of common stock of the Company based on the 5-day trailing volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock at the maturity date of the EHF Convertible Note (subject to compliance with applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market). The Company elected to record the EHF Convertible Note at fair value and determined that the conversion approximates the fair value of

the stock, and therefore is not subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2024, there is $
The Company’s PPP Loan, SBA Loans, Seller Notes, Promissory notes, and Vehicle Loans are carried at historical cost. The fair value of the PPP Loan, SBA Loans, Seller Notes, Promissory notes, and Vehicle Loans are estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses using available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Accordingly, the Company used Level 2 inputs for these debt instrument fair value estimates.
Forward Purchase Agreement
The fair value of the liability pre-modification when it was assumed on July 12, 2024 and immediately before modification on August 2, 2024, was determined using a black-scholes model. Both valuations were based on the actual numbers of shares purchased by Meteora under the agreement, which was 3,288,466. The significant inputs to the model as of July 12, 2024 and August 2, 2024 are noted in the table below.

The Company determined the value at maturity for all outstanding shares using the Monte Carlo model. The significant inputs to the model as of August 2, 2024 and September 30, 2024 are noted in the table below.

Contingent consideration
The fair values of the contingent consideration was estimated using Monte Carlo Simulation model, which are Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant unobservable inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of the Delivery Circle earn-out payment liability include the Delivery Circle forecasted revenue and EBITDA growth, revenue volatility, market price of risk and discount rate. An increase in the projected growth rate for net revenue results in a higher fair value for the earn-out payment liability while an increase in the discount rate results in a lower fair value for the earn-out payment liability. An increase in the market price of risk and revenue volatility results in a lower fair value.

Overview
Prior to the consummation of our previously announced Business Combination (defined below), we were a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on September 23, 2021, for the purpose of acquiring, merging with, engaging in capital stock exchange with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, engaging in contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with a single operating entity, or one or more related or unrelated operating entities operating in any sector. We were an emerging growth company and, as such, were subject to all the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Subsequent to the Business Combination (defined below), we are a clean technology company focused on reversing the adverse effects of climate change by owning, developing, and operating the world’s largest network of electro-mechanical assets. The Company uses its proprietary full-stack technology platform and network of electro-mechanical assets: intelligent Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) appliances, Electric Vehicle (“EV”) chargers, and solar products and roofs to provide intelligence, enhanced visibility, and real-time monitoring and management of equipment performance for both service providers and end customers. The Company is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts and has grown significantly through its acquisition-focused strategy.

Payment Upon Acquisition of Remaining Interests. If, at any time prior to December 31, 2031, ConnectM shall not have satisfied in full its obligation to pay the Purchase Price and ConnectM acquires, directly or indirectly, all, or substantially all, of the remaining 43.0% of the membership interests in DeliveryCircle, then ConnectM shall, at Seller’s election, pay to Seller an amount equal to the lesser of (i) (A) an amount that is proportional (based upon the ratio of the Acquired Interests to all of the membership interests of DeliveryCircle being purchased) to the amount paid to the holders of such other membership interests, less (B) the Base Purchase Price, less (C) the aggregate amount of all Contingent Value Payments which have been paid to Seller as of the date of such payment and (ii) the Prepayment Amount as of the date of such election.

The services involve a combination of labor and underlying parts cost; however, these items are not separated as they are both required to achieve the end objective of providing the total service. The Company’s revenue is generated from customers located throughout the U.S. and India.
Solar System Services- Residential
The Company generates revenue from solar panel services that include services such as solar panel repairs and solar panel installations.

Each transaction is a distinct performance obligation, priced on a standalone basis, which provides benefit to the customer. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed which is normally a day or less. As such, recognition over time approximates a point in time.
42
Managed Services

Interest expense
Interest expense results from interest on the Company’s outstanding loans. ConnectM may utilize debt to finance its future acquisitions and fund operations and therefore, interest expense incurred may increase in future periods.

Revenues | $ | 6,074 | $ | 4,384 | $ | 1,690 | 39 | % |
Revenue increased approximately $1.7 million, or 39%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven primarily by the Company’s new managed services offering, which yielded an increase in revenues of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and increases in the Company’s OEM/EV segment with an increase to revenue of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily offset by a decline in the Company’s electrification and decarbonization segment of $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These decreases in the electrification and decarbonization segments were driven by inclement weather during the three months ended September 30, 2024, which caused a decline in solar installations during this period.

Revenue increased approximately $4.5 million, or 29%, to $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Bourque Heating and Cooling Company, Inc. on February 14, 2022, Airflow Service Company, Inc. in May of 2022, and Florida Solar, Inc. in December of 2022. The revenues from these acquired companies was approximately $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, revenue increased by $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the Company’s Managed Service arrangements, which did not exist in 2022. These increases were offset by a decline in revenues of $0.5 million resulting from the Company’s winding down of its Designed Temperatures, Inc. business during the year ended December 31, 2023. On a go-forward basis, the Company expects that a large portion of its increases in revenues will be attributable to its growing managed services business.

We require capital to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditures. Additional capital is necessary to fund ongoing operations, continue research, development efforts, improve infrastructure, and execute on our acquisition strategy. Our ability to access the capital markets will influence the rate at which we deploy capital. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | Seeking and obtaining market access approvals; |
● | Establishing and maintaining supply and manufacturing relationships with third parties that can provide adequate, in both amount and quality, products and services to support our growth; |
● | Addressing any competing technological and market developments; |
● | Technological or manufacturing difficulties, design issues or other unforeseen matters; |
● | Identifying attractive acquisition targets that align with our current businesses; and |
● | Attracting, hiring, and retaining qualified personnel. |
If we successfully raise additional capital, we may accelerate certain development programs and other investments. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds this will lead us to delay or reduce or stop certain development activities and pursue the reduction of certain components of our operating expenses. If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Secured Promissory Notes
In February of 2022, the Company entered into secured promissory note agreements (the “Secured Promissory Notes with two individual lenders for a total of $1.4 million. In connection with the issuance of the Secured Promissory Notes, the Company issued warrants to each lender that may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company. The Secured Promissory Notes mature in February of 2025. Interest is charged at an annual simple rate of 9.25%, which increases to 12% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The warrants that were issued in connection with the issuance of the Secured Promissory Notes have an exercise price of $3.61 per share of common stock. Such warrants are exercisable at any point for a period of 10 years from the date issued. The warrants are not transferable, nor do they carry any voting rights or other rights of a shareholder. The holders of the warrants cannot net settle, and all exercises of such warrants must be completed in cash.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued an additional $5.5 million of secured promissory notes with terms like those described above (the “2023 Promissory Notes”). However, no warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of these additional secured promissory notes. These 2023 Promissory Notes have maturity dates ranging from November of 2023 to December of 2024.

The notes accrue interest at a simple annual interest rate that ranges from 18% to 24.0%. Additionally, the Company is not required to make any payments under these promissory notes prior to maturity.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued fourteen additional secured promissory notes totaling $4.1 million. The notes accrue interest at a simple annual interest rate of 24%. There were no warrants issued in connection with the issuance of these additional secured promissory notes.

Convertible Notes
The Company issued $1.4 million of convertible notes in September of 2022 that mature two years from the date of issuance (September 2024). On February 22, 2023, the convertible notes were amended to clarify how these Convertible Notes convert; this modification did not change the future cash flows of the notes. The Convertible Notes automatically convert in three (3) different situations: (i) upon the consummation of a Qualified Financing, (ii) upon the consummation of a Change of Control, or (iii) upon maturity.
In the case of a Qualified Financing (as defined below), the convertible notes (principal plus interest) automatically convert at a quotient, the numerator of which is the entire principal of the convertible notes and any interest accrued and the denominator is the lesser of 80% of the price per share to be sold in a financing event, or $2.11 per share, adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series. In the case of a Change of Control (as defined below), the convertible notes (principal plus interest) automatically convert into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price that will be based upon a pre-money valuation of the Company equal to eighty percent (80.0%) of the enterprise value of the Company as determined based upon the net consideration to be paid in connection with such Change of Control transaction. If the convertible notes are still outstanding at maturity, they automatically convert (principal plus interest) into shares of a separate series of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock having identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the Company’s existing Series B-1 Preferred Stock, except the liquidation preference, dividend rights and anti-dilution protection will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the price per share at which the convertible notes are converted into Series B Preferred Stock, which is at the conversion price of $2.11 per share (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, or other similar recapitalization events with respect to such class or series of shares).
A Qualified Financing is defined as the next transaction or series of transactions after the issuance of the Notes in which the Company sells shares of its privately issued equity securities resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5.0 million (not including the Notes). The closing of this transaction would not be deemed a Qualified Financing.
A Change of Control means (i) that the beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d3 under the Exchange Act) of securities representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired by any “person” as defined in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any parent or subsidiary of the Company, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company), (ii) the merger or consolidation of the Company (A) pursuant to the Merger Agreement and/or (B) with or into another corporation where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the combined voting power of the securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, or (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the sale or disposition, in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition. The closing of this transaction would be deemed a Change of Control.
Interest is charged at an annual (simple) rate of 5.0%. The rate increases to 8.0% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Company has the right to prepay the entire principal amount of the convertible notes upon approval by the holders of the majority of the convertible notes.
The Company further issued an additional $0.9 million of convertible notes under the same terms during the year ended December 31, 2023 with terms similar to those described above.
Convertible Notes Due From MCAC
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has provided $0.4 million to Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MCAC”) in the form of convertible notes receivable for working capital purposes. The convertible notes receivable are to be repaid to the Company upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or at the Company’s option, convertible into Private Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

Libertas (Sale of Future Receipts)
On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into a sale of Future Receipts agreement with Libertas Funding, LLC, an independent third party (“Libertas”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company sold and assigned $1.6 million of Future Receipts in exchange for net cash proceeds of $1.2 million, including a fee of $24 thousand. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $0.4 million. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party a minimum of $30 thousand of weekly sales receipts until the Future Receipts have been collected. for the term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out. On November 2, 2023, the Company amended this agreement with Libertas to extend the weekly sales receipts period to one year from the amendment date, requiring weekly sales receipts of $17 thousand until the remaining Future Receipts have been collected. Further in connection with this amendment, the Company incurred an incremental fee of $0.1 million. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”).
Similarly, to the transaction in April, on August 7, 2023, the Company entered into a sale of Future Receipts Agreement with Libertas to which it sold and assigned $1.2 million of future receipts in exchange for net proceeds of $1.0 million, including a fee of $20 thousand. As a result the Company recorded a discount of $0.3 million. Under the agreement the Company agreed to pay the third party approximately $26 thousand weekly until the Future Receipts have been collected. The term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out. On November 29, 2023, the Company amended this agreement with Libertas to borrow an incremental $0.4 million. Due to this refinancing, Libertas forgave a portion of this debt outstanding totaling $0.1 million and the Company incurred an incremental fee of $0.2 million. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50.
As a result of the amendments noted above, as of December 31, 2023, all remaining discounts were written off. As a result of the amendments noted above, the Company wrote off all remaining debt discounts, yielding incremental interest expense of $0.7 million. This loss on extinguishment of debt was offset by the forgiveness of debt in connection with each amendment, as discussed above, of $0.2 million relating to the first amendment and $0.1 million relating to the second amendment, yielding a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million that was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023.
On January 4, 2024, like the transactions in April and August of 2023, the Company entered into a sale of Future Receipts Agreement with Libertas to which it sold and assigned $0.5 million of future receipts in exchange for net proceeds of $0.4 million, including an origination fee of $7 thousand and an original issuance discount of $0.1 million. As a result, the Company recorded a discount of $0.1 million. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the third party approximately $9 thousand weekly until the Future Receipts have been collected. The term of this agreement is approximately one year as the payments are made until the total amount of the future receipts are paid out.
On January 30, 2024, the Company amended each of its outstanding agreements with Libertas to consolidate the agreements into one without any change to the total Future Receipts committed. In connection with this amendment, the Company sold a total of $2.6 million of Future Receipts in exchange for the remaining balances on each of the Company’s outstanding agreements with Libertas as of the date of the transaction, totaling $2.1 million with an original issuance discount of $0.5 million. The Company assessed this amendment, noting that the amended terms of the agreement were substantially different from the terms of the initial agreement, causing the Company to account for this amendment as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-50. As a result of the amendment, as of September 30, 2024, all unamortized discounts were written off, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $0.6 million.
In connection with these instruments, the Company recorded discounts. These discounts are recorded as an adjustment to the related liability within the “Current portion of debt, net of discount” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As discussed above, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the discounts offered associated with these borrowings were zero.
In connection with the January 30, 2024 amendment, the Company erroneously received an incremental $1.1 million from Libertas. Such amounts received were provided to the Company in error and are due and payable in full to Libertas. Libertas has agreed to loan the Company this amount and is currently negotiating repayment terms with the Company. This is shown as a Due to Libertas on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
54
Since the Company has significant continuing involvement in the generation of future cash flows due under these agreements among other indicators, pursuant to ASC 470 -10-25-2, Debt- Sales of Future Revenues or Other Various Measures of Income, the Company has reflected any future commitments to Libertas associated with these agreements as Debt.
The balance of the total sale on Future Receipts stated above as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which is included in the current portion of debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other Notes
The Company also has other smaller loans that are described within Note 7 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company incurred net losses of $12.2 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17.0 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $39.9 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the working capital deficit totaled $31.2 as of September 30, 2024.
The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising capital through issuances of debt and equity securities, and extending existing debt agreements. A failure to raise sufficient financing and/or extend existing debt agreements, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives.
Accordingly, based on the considerations discussed above, management has concluded there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans to address the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include the following:
● | obtaining additional financing from related parties and third parties; and |
● | potentially extend existing debt agreements. |
The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Further, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its current noteholders will provide relief and extend the Company’s current required payments under its debt agreements. ConnectM’s primary uses of cash are to fund its operations as it continues to grow its business. ConnectM will require a significant amount of cash for expenditures as it invests in continuing its acquisition strategy and capitalizes on synergies because of such acquisitions. We have experienced significant net losses since our inception and, given the significant expenditures associated with our business plan, we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses. ConnectM’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
To the extent that current and anticipated sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, ConnectM may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing after the closing of the Business Combination. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to stockholders after the closing. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligation and instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financial covenants that could restrict ConnectM’s operations. There can also be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Litigation
The Company is from time to time subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and regulatory matters, most of which are incidental to the ordinary course of its business.
The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that such liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This determination is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in which the Company is involved, taking into account its best estimate of such losses for those cases for which such estimates can be made. The Company’s estimate involve significant judgement, given the varying stages of proceedings (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims), and the related uncertainty of the potential outcomes of these proceedings.
In making determinations of the likely outcome of pending litigation, the Company considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the nature of the claims, the Company’s experience with similar types of claims, the jurisdiction in which the matter is filed, input from outside legal counsel, the likelihood of resolving the matter through alternative mechanisms, the matter’s current status and the
57
damages sought or demands made. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses could be more or less than the current estimate.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there are no matters for which a reserve is required to be established.
On February 26, 2024, Robert Zrallack and RJZ Holdings LLC (the “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against Aurai LLC, ConnectM Florida RE LLC, and Florida Solar Products, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, in the Circuit Court for the 19th Judicial Circuit (St. Lucie County, Florida). In this suit, the plaintiffs allege various contract claims arising out of a transaction under which Aurai acquired Florida Solar Products, Inc. from Mr. Zrallack in 2022 and ConnectM Florida RE LLC acquired certain real estate from RJZ Holdings LLC in 2022 from which Florida Solar Products operates. Specifically, the plaintiffs allege breach of the stock purchase agreement and certain promissory notes in connection with the purchase of Florida Solar Products, Inc. and the related real estate, as well as breach of a services agreement with Mr. Zrallack. The Company believes the Plaintiffs’ claims have no merit and plans to assert counterclaims against the Plaintiffs in connection with the underlying transactions. The Company is defending itself in this matter. Currently, the Company prevailed on a motion to compel arbitration, so the lawsuit is stayed, and the Court ordered the entire case to arbitration.
On August 02, 2024, Benjamin Securities, Inc (“Benjamin”) has commenced a lawsuit against the ConnectM Parties in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, bearing Index No. 157042//2024 (the “Litigation”). On June 26, 2024, the Company and Benjamin entered into certain Capital Markets Advisory Agreement with an amendment on July 12, 2024. In the lawsuit, Benjamin claimed that the Company agreed but failed to pay Benjamin as contractually required. Subsequently on October 2, 2024, the Company and Benjamin reached a settlement agreement for the Company to meet its contractual obligation. This amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2024 and is included in Accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported expenses and net loss incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
ConnectM’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 from those described in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
ConnectM believes its significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are most critical to understanding and evaluating its reported financial results.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 to ConnectM’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
This item is not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, we did not design and maintain an effective control environment to prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial statements. The following material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting were identified:
● | Controls over the accuracy and completeness of information included in our SEC filings including documents filed as exhibits to registration statements and information within registration statements. |
● | Controls over accuracy and completeness of financial data, specifically prepaid and accrued expenses. |
● | Complex financial instruments accounting including relevant literature that applies to the accounting for forward purchase agreements, the business combination, acquisition accounting, and complex debt. |
Remediation Efforts to Address Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To address these material weaknesses management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting, and to provide processes and controls over the internal communications within the Company, financial reporting advisors, legal advisors, and independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s efforts include the following:
● | The Company implemented additional procedures to ensure that all legal agreements are reviewed by management, third-party accounting advisors and legal advisors in their final drafts before such agreements are executed. |
● | The Company implemented additional review procedures to ensure completeness and accuracy of financial data and accrued liabilities. |
● | The Company utilized the expertise of outside financial reporting and valuation advisors to better evaluate the research and understanding of the nuances of the accounting standards that apply to the complex financial instrument. |
● | The Company is implementing additional oversight of the cash availability for the Company’s operational needs. |
60
We can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than changes that have resulted from the material weakness remediation activities noted above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
