The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a financial technology company that was historically focused on providing software, technology solutions, customer sales and marketing, and risk management technology hardware and software solutions packages for the worldwide retail foreign exchange (“FX”) trading industry and payment services from one fiat currency to another or to digital assets.

In December 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option (the “Star Agreement”) with Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star”), the shareholders of Star (“Star Equity Holders”) and an officer of Nukkleus, acting in his capacity as the representative of the Star Equity Holders, to acquire a controlling 51% interest in Star, an Israeli corporation engaged as a supplier of generators for “iron dome” launchers and other defense products. On February 11, 2025, the Company, Star and the Star Equity Holders, entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Star Agreement (the “Amendment”) providing that the consideration to be invested by the Company into Star shall be increased. Mr. Shalom, who is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is a controlling shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Star. Pursuant to the Star Agreement, the Company at closing will acquire 51% of the issued and outstanding capital of Star in consideration of (i) $15,000,000 in a combination of cash in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 and a promissory note for the remaining balance maturing in 12 months following the closing (the “Investment Note”), (ii) the Company issuing the Seller 2,385,170 shares of common stock of the Company and (iii) the Company issuing Star a five-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 6,907,859 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Star Equity Holders granted the Company an option (the “Option”) to purchase the balance of their equity in Star (49%) for an aggregate of $16,084,250 (the “Option Exercise Price”) in consideration for the issuance to the Star Equity Holders five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 720,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Option Exercise Price to be paid by the Company to the Star Equity Holders will consist of $3,000,000 in cash, a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which shall accrue interest at the rate of 8% and be due and payable six (6) months after the issuance thereof, 2,385,170 shares of common stock of the Company and a five-year warrant to purchase 5,109,789 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $1.50 per share. On May 13, 2025, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 increasing the amount that the Company will lend to Star prior to the closing date from $1,800,000 to $3,000,000 and removing the closing condition that a fairness opinion be delivered at closing. Star also executed a promissory note memorializing the previous $2,000,000 funded by the Company as well as future advances to be provided to Star up to a total of $3,000,000.

If, for a period of 12 months after the closing, the Company’s shares of common stock are delisted from Nasdaq, Star shall have the right, at its own discretion, to require the Company to exchange the Investment Note for all the shares of Star then held by the Company, provided, however, the Option shall be automatically cancelled and Star shall retain any cash payments made by the Company to Star and the Company shall retain an equity interest in Star equivalent to all cash payments.

Subject to the closing of the acquisition of Star, our business will be focused on the defense sector.

Recent Developments

Amendments to Star Agreement

On June 15, 2025, the parties entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Star Agreement whereby they clarified that if the Company fails to make all payments by the agreed time or if the Star Agreement is terminated as a result of the Company failing to perform or observe the covenants or agreements of the Company or if Company fails to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, Star shall be entitled to a payment from the Company in the amount of $3,000,000.

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Star Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, Menachem Shalom, the holder of all Class B common stock of Star, agreed that all said shares shall be converted to Class A common stock of Star. The objective of such cancellation and conversion is to eliminate the disparity between the voting rights and the economic rights of the common stock of Star.

Darwin Labs Warrants

On July 30, 2025 the Company entered into a warrant agreement with Synthetic Darwin LLC (“Darwin”), enabling the Company to acquire up to 200 million Darwin tokens, a new class of self-evolving AI network tokens developed by Darwin. Darwin is a self-training and evolving AI that can be used to test and simulate multiple scenarios in finance, healthcare and defense. This software aims to allow companies to run scenarios and find the best configuration for financial services, drugs, defense-related software and more. The Company has identified the potential in such AI software and decided to enter into this warrant agreement for Darwin tokens, which will allow the Company and the Company’s future subsidiaries to use this platform.

Components of Results of Operations

Operating expenses consist of professional fees, compensation and related benefits, and other general and administrative expenses.

Professional fees consists of professional services, such as audit fees, legal service fees, advisory fees, and consulting fees.

Compensation and related benefits consists of personnel related expenses incurred in operating our business, including cash compensation and our benefit programs.

Other general and administrative consists of personnel-related expenses incurred to support our business, including executive, customer support, compliance, finance, human resources, legal, and other support operations, and include rent, filing fee, platform fee, travel and entertainment, miscellaneous taxes, and other miscellaneous items.

Other (expense) income, net consists of interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, day one loss on issuance of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and embedded derivatives within convertible notes, change in fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and derivative liabilities.

Because these components fluctuate with market conditions, other (expense) income, net can vary widely between periods.

Results of Operations

31

Comparison For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Versus the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

We had no revenue from continuing operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, due to the discontinuation of subsidiary DRFQ’s operations since DRFQ has been classified as held-for-sale. We expect to report revenue upon the closing of the Star acquisition, which we expect to be complete by and near the end of the third quarter of this year. At this time, the Company does not expect to generate revenue from other sources prior to the closing of the Star acquisition.

Operating Expenses

Professional fees

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, professional fees decreased by approximately $144,000, or 16.3%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, professional fees decreased by approximately $1,022,000, or 37.6%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in advisory service fees of $965,500 and consulting fees of approximately $310,000, offset by an increase in legal fees of approximately $123,000 and audit fees of approximately $131,000. This net decrease in professional fees is mainly attributable to the one-time costs incurred in early 2024 in relation to the business combination. We expect that our professional fees will remain consistent in the near future with a possible marginal increase between now and the closing of the Star acquisition. Subsequent to the closing of the Star acquisition, we expect professional fees to decrease slightly as we anticipate the frequency of one-time costs of professional fees to come down.

Compensation and related benefits

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $46,000, or 186.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our compensation and related benefits increased by approximately $80,000, or 145.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. We expect that our compensation and related benefits will increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025, as the Company expects to employ several individuals immediately following the closing of the acquisition. Our compensation and related benefits have been significantly lower than our professional fees due to the engagement of several professionals working for the Company on a consulting basis.

Other general and administrative expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $116,000, or 95.1%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total other general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $382,000, or 110.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including an increase in D&O insurance of approximately $168,000, marketing fees of approximately $110,000, rent expenses of approximately $73,000 attributable to new offices established in Israel and New York, entertainment and travel of approximately $89,000 attributable to the travel by our CEO and other business expenses of approximately $93,000, offset by a decrease in filing fees of approximately $150,000. We expect that other general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the near future if the pending acquisition of Star completes during fiscal year 2025, as the Company expects to incur higher costs such as insurance, rent, advertising, and travel expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, other income (expense), net, increased approximately $4,514,000, or 1,972.6%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other income (expense), net, increased approximately $109,172,000, or 45,707.6%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to, an increase in gain from change in fair value – stock purchase warrant liabilities of approximately $109,406,000, a gain from change in fair value – convertible note embedded derivative of approximately $588,000, realized and unrealized gains of approximately $146,000, and a decrease in loss on debt settlement of approximately $176,000, offset by an increase in penalties – late registration, payable to the investor in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement, of $800,000, interest expense due to amortization of debt discounts of approximately $279,000, and interest expense on debt of approximately $81,000. The significant changes in fair value recognized on the Company’s stock purchase warrant liabilities are directly related to several warrants granted during fiscal year 2024. For the duration of the life of these warrants, the Company expects to continue to recognize significant gains or losses heavily driven by any changes in the Company’s stock price at each quarterly and annual report date.

Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was estimated to be $217,952 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $358,045 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net loss from discontinued operations was estimated to be $400,707 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $692,261 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These decreases were due to a decrease in net loss from the operations of the Company’s wholly owed subsidiary DRFQ, which is the sole driver of the Company’s former financial services segment. The Company expects to recognize a deconsolidation of DRFQ in the third quarter due to the sale of this subsidiary, which will cease discontinued operations of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated a pre-tax net income from continuing operations of $106,377,435 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and incurred a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $3,353,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and have an accumulated deficit of $95,099,015 as of June 30, 2025 and $201,075,743 at December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $53,463,528, including $1,519,647 of cash. The pre-tax net income from continuing operations of approximately $106,000,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to the applicable accounting treatment used to recognize gains from changes in fair value of liability-classified warrants which does not impact our cash position. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 the most significant use of the Company’s cash was for the purpose of advance cash payments to Star of $1,500,000 pursuant to the amended terms of the Star transaction. The Company intends to make an additional final advance payment of $500,000 subsequent to June 30, 2025.

We have not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund our ongoing operations. However, we expect to generate revenue beginning immediately after the closing of the Star acquisition, which we expect to be completed near the end of the third quarter of 2025. Since our inception, we have raised capital through private sales of common stock and debt securities. Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support our operations.

To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and cash and other requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Even if debt financing is available, the cost of additional financing may be significantly higher than our current debt.

The risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to continue to raise capital and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern.

Cash Flows

The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Operating activities

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $2,694,000, which primarily reflected our consolidated net income of approximately $105,977,000, adjusted for changes in working capital accounts and certain non-cash income (expenses) of approximately $109,492,000 (including the change in fair value of our liability-classified stock purchase warrants and derivative liabilities of approximately $109,994,000, offset by amortization of debt discount of approximately $322,000, stock-based compensation of approximately $178,000, and depreciation expense of approximately $1,500).

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1,821,000, which primarily reflected our consolidated net loss of approximately $4,046,000, adjusted for changes in working capital accounts and certain non-cash expense of approximately $362,000 (including loss on settlement of vendor obligations of approximately $176,000, stock-based compensation of approximately $149,000, and amortization of debt discount of approximately $36,000).

Investing activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities was approximately $1,515,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted of an additional advance payment to Star of $1,500,000 in connection with the plan acquisition of Star, and a purchase of computer equipment of approximately $15,000.

There were no cash flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing activities

Net cash flow used in financing activities was approximately $878,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which consisted of a repayment of note payable of $78,000 and payments of penalty – late registration of $800,000.

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was approximately $1,505,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted of proceeds from loan payable – related parties of approximately $545,000, proceeds from issuance of convertible debt, net of issuance costs of approximately $300,000, proceeds from issuance of note payable of approximately $78,000, and cash provided by financing activities from discontinued operations of approximately $583,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows will be affected.

See Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of significant accounting policies and significant estimates and assumptions and their effects on our financial statements. Below are the significant estimates and assumptions that we consider critical because they involve a significant amount of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 4 to the unaudited financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was unable to obtain complete financial information from a subsidiary for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Consequently, management relied on historical trends and partial records to estimate the operating results of the discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The inability to verify actual results introduces a level of uncertainty into the reported net loss from discontinued operations. Management continues to monitor the situation and may adjust its estimates in future filings should additional information become available.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for share-based payments that involve the issuance of shares of our common stock to employees and nonemployees and meet the criteria for share-based awards as stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize the adjustment to stock-based compensation expense in the period in which forfeitures occur. We recognize compensation expense for awards with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

If factors change, and we utilize different assumptions including the probability of achieving performance conditions, share-based compensation cost on future award grants may differ significantly from share-based compensation cost recognized on past award grants. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate any remaining unearned share-based compensation cost or incur incremental cost. Share-based compensation cost affects our compensation and benefits expenses.

Warrants

Classification: The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues as either liability or equity classified by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480”), then in accordance with ASC 815-40 (“ASC 815”), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its Common Stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent to the issuance date.

We assess the classification of our stock purchase warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liability is required. For modified stock purchase warrants that result in a change of classification from equity to liability, a liability is recognized equal to the fair value on the date of modification, additional paid-in capital is adjusted by the fair value of the warrant on the date of issuance, and the difference is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Valuation: The fair value of our equity-classified stock purchase warrants and liability-classified stock purchase warrants are determined utilizing Level 3 inputs using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and a Monte Carlo simulation model, respectively.

In both models, the fair value of an award is affected by our stock price on the date of measurement as well as other assumptions, including the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the stock purchase warrant as of the measurement date and the estimated period of time that we expect third parties to hold the stock purchase warrants at the measurement date. The risk-free interest rate assumption we use is based upon United States Treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the stock purchase warrant.

As our stock has limited trading history on NASDAQ, we use the historical volatility of our peer companies in order to estimate future stock price trends. We expect third parties to hold their stock purchase warrants for the contractual term as we do not have any history to support a shorter term and do not anticipate stock purchase warrants to be exercised prior to the end of the term. Our expected dividend rate is zero since we do not currently pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

We use the Monte Carlo simulation model for our liability-classified stock purchase warrants in order to incorporate other subjective assumptions based on the terms of the specific stock purchase warrant agreements or the related host contract. For our liability-classified stock purchase warrants as of June 30, 2025, we included the probability of a fundamental event, as defined in the relevant agreements, occurring in our assumptions.

The aforementioned inputs entered into the models we use to fair value our stock purchase warrants are subjective estimates and changes to these estimates will cause the fair value of our stock purchase warrants and related debt issuance discount we recognize to vary.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Classification: We evaluate our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss included in this Report under “Item 8. Financial Statements”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet 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. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract on the Company’s balance sheet.

Valuation: We use the Monte Carlo simulation model for our bifurcated embedded derivatives in order to incorporate subjective assumptions based on the terms of the specific host contracts. For our bifurcated embedded derivatives issued in connection with our December 2024 convertible note payable, we included the probability of a fundamental event, as defined in the relevant agreements, occurring in our assumptions in addition to the estimated volatility of our stock price over the term of the bifurcated embedded derivative as of the measurement date, the remaining term of the host contract at the measurement date, the risk-free interest rate based upon United States Treasury interest rates appropriate for the expected term, the conversion discount, and the redemption premium.

Legal and other contingencies

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, the outcomes of which are inherently uncertain, and such uncertainty may be enhanced due to the industry in which we operate. We record a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, the determination of which requires significant judgment. In addition, we record recoveries of these losses when it is probable that they will be collected. These estimates are highly sensitive to change and involve variables that are not completely within our control nor practicable to model, including decisions made by regulators and settlement negotiations. Resolution of legal and other contingencies in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For information about recently issued accounting standards, refer to Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency transaction risk

Revenues, expenses, and financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are recorded in the functional currency of these subsidiaries. Our foreign currency exposure is primarily related to transactions denominated in British Pounds attributable to cash, customer custodial funds and customer custodial cash liabilities and intercompany transactions where the transaction currency is different from a subsidiary’s functional currency. Changes in foreign exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect our results of operations as expressed in U.S. dollars. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our results of operations as a result of gains or losses on the settlement and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not the functional currency of the respective entity.

If an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change was applied to the largest foreign currency exposure (e.g. British Pound) or to all foreign currency exposures in aggregate, of monetary assets, liabilities, and commitments denominated in currencies other than its functional currency as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, it would not have a material impact on our financial results.

From time to time, we may enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. It is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our results of operations. Additionally, the volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. Our international operations increase our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and, as a result, such fluctuations could have a material impact on our future results of operations and cash flows.

Fluctuations in functional currencies from our net investment in international subsidiaries expose us to foreign currency translation risk, where changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations upon translation into U.S. dollars. See the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in Part II, Item 8 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for translation adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, a 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates used in translating the financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than our reporting currency would not have a material impact on our financial results.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

Our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, who is also its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a—15(e) and 15d—15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, because of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June, 2025, as described below.

Plan of Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Following the identification and communication of the material weakness described above, management commenced remediation actions relating to this material weakness beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, as follows:

• We are utilizing the services of external consultants for non-routine and/or technical accounting issues as they arise.
• We are expanding and improving our review process for complex accounting transactions. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
• We are implementing enhancements and process improvements, including the design and implementation of well-defined controls and related control attributes.

The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered fully remediated until these additional controls and procedures have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. Our management will monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate. If not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in material misstatements to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis or result in a delayed filing of required periodic reports. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected, and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Notwithstanding the above, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resources constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, known to the Chief Executive Officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the period ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025, as amended July 9, 2025 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.
