Discontinued Operations

7. Discontinued Operations

On March 16, 2020, to try and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, San Diego County health officials issued orders mandating that all restaurants must end dine-in services. As a result of these temporary closures and the deteriorating business conditions at the Company’s restaurant businesses, the Company concluded that discontinuing the operations of I.AM, Inc. (“I.AM”) was ultimately in its best interest.

In the first quarter of 2020, management determined that the permanent closing of the restaurant operations met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of the restaurant operations are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and are excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. On November 2, 2020, I.AM filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division, case number 8:20-bk-13076. As a result of I.AM’s bankruptcy filing on November 2, 2020, Ault Global ceded authority for managing the business to the Bankruptcy Court. For this reason, the Company concluded that Ault Global had lost control of I.AM, and no longer had significant influence over I.AM. Therefore, the Company deconsolidated I.AM effective with the filing of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2020.

The restaurant operations are included in the Company’s results as discontinued operations through March 16, 2020, the date of closing of the restaurants. The following tables summarize the major classes of line items included in loss from discontinued operations:
