Business Context and Reporting Period

Company: DeFi Development Corp. (formerly Janover Inc., ticker: DFDV)
Reporting Period: Quarter ended March 31, 2025 (Q1 2025)
Business Overview: The Company operates an AI-powered platform connecting commercial real estate borrowers with lenders. It is transitioning from transactional platform fees to recurring SaaS subscription revenue. Subsequent to the reporting period, the Company adopted a new treasury policy to accumulate Solana (SOL) and operate validators.

Key Financial Metrics

Revenue Composition (Q1 2025): Platform fees ($95,740) and SaaS subscription revenues ($191,432). SaaS now represents approximately 67% of total revenue.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased 30% to $287,172, driven by a 72% drop in platform fees ($95,740 vs. $338,430). This was partially offset by a 163% increase in SaaS subscription revenue ($191,432 vs. $72,707).
• Improved Loss Profile: Net loss narrowed by 19% to $777,599. Operating loss improved by 13% to $883,167.
• Expense Reduction: Total operating expenses decreased 18% to $1.17 million. General and administrative expenses dropped 28% due to reduced personnel costs and stock-based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses increased 12% due to higher advertising spend for SaaS products.
• Non-Operating Gains: Other income increased 95% to $105,568, primarily due to an $85,365 gain from the change in fair value of marketable securities and a $64,272 gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration.
• Liquidity: Cash balances decreased by approximately $716,000 during the quarter, though cash burn from operations improved compared to the prior year.

Guidance, Outlook, and Material Subsequent Events

Strategic Pivot: Management is prioritizing the transition to recurring SaaS revenue and the accumulation of Solana (SOL) as a treasury asset. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached approximately $1.4 million as of March 31, 2025.

Subsequent Events (Post-March 31, 2025):

• Change of Control: On April 4, 2025, a change in control occurred with the sale of approximately 51% of common stock and all Series A Preferred Stock to DeFi Dev LLC and NS Corp for $4.0 million. Joseph Onorati was appointed CEO.
• Treasury Policy: The Board approved a policy to allocate treasury reserves to SOL. As of the filing date, the Company had purchased approximately $103 million in SOL.
• Capital Raises: Issued $42.0 million in convertible notes and $24.0 million in equity/pre-funded warrants in private placements. Raised approximately $12.4 million via an At-The-Market (ATM) offering.
• Acquisition: Entered an agreement to acquire Solsync Solutions Partnership (a SOL validator business) for $3.5 million.
• Stock Split: Approved a 7-for-1 forward stock split, expected to commence trading in May 2025.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Going Concern: The filing includes a going concern note, though management believes capital raised subsequent to March 31, 2025, will fund operations for at least one year.
• Internal Controls: Material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were identified and remain unremediated as of the filing date.
• Crypto Volatility: Significant exposure to SOL price fluctuations and regulatory uncertainty regarding digital assets.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $1.8 million cash balance on hand versus the $66 million in subsequent capital raises to fund the new SOL treasury strategy and operations.
• Internal Controls: Assess the timeline and cost to remediate the disclosed material weaknesses in financial reporting.
• SOL Valuation: Monitor the fair value of the $103 million SOL holding and the impact of volatility on future earnings.
• Revenue Mix: Track the sustainability of the shift from transactional fees to SaaS subscriptions to ensure recurring revenue growth offsets legacy business decline.
• Dilution: Evaluate the impact of the convertible notes, warrants, and stock split on existing shareholder ownership.
