Throughout the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted or otherwise suggested by context, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” refers to the Legacy Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Business Combination

On June 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”) the Company consummated the Business Combination transactions by and among the Company, ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp (“SUAC” or “ShoulderUp”), ShoulderUp Merger Sub, Inc., SEI Merger Sub, Inc., and SEE ID, Inc. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ShoulderUp Merger Sub merged with and into SUAC (the “ShoulderUp Merger”), with SUAC surviving the ShoulderUp Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SUAC Surviving Company”); and (ii) simultaneously with the ShoulderUp Merger, SEI Merger Sub merged with and into SEE ID (“the SEE ID Merger”), with SEE ID surviving the SEE ID Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Company”) (the ShoulderUp Merger and the SEE ID Merger, together the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

In connection with the Business Combination, CID Holdco filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-282600) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On June 18, 2025, the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. At Closing, the assets and liabilities of Legacy Company were combined with the assets and liabilities ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp on a historical cost basis. All Legacy Company Common Stock was exchanged for Common Stock of the Company based upon the exchange ratio as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as Aggregate Merger Consideration (13,000,000 CID Holdco shares) divided by the Company Fully Diluted Common Stock (159,915,641) or 8.129%. Stock options of Legacy Company were not exercised and remain outstanding after giving into effect the exchange ratio. In connection with the Business Combination, we incurred transaction costs, settled certain SUAC related party notes through the issuance of common shares, converted SAFE notes into Common Stock of the Company, and raised cash proceeds from PIPE investors. Additional information regarding the Business Combination and Reverse Recapitalization is provided in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Acquiring New Customers

We believe that we have a substantial opportunity to grow our customer base. We intend to drive new customers by continuing to invest significantly in sales and marketing to engage our prospective customers, increase brand awareness, and drive adoption of our Dot Cloud platform. Our ability to attract new customers depends on a number of factors, including the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, macroeconomic factors and their impact on our customers’ businesses, and the success of our efforts to expand internationally.

Expanding Within Our Existing Customer Base

We believe that there is a significant opportunity to expand sales to existing customers following their initial adoption of our Dot Cloud. We will expand our customer base by selling more applications and expanding use of existing applications across geographies and divisions. Our ability to expand within our customer base will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction, pricing, competition, macroeconomic factors, and changes in our customers’ spending levels. While there are many factors involved in this expansion, the Customer Success department will be the key internal driver to retention and expansion of customer revenue. At this juncture, it is not a significant part of our operational expense but will require additional investment as our bookings increase and our channel support requirements come online.

Investments in Innovation and Future Growth

Our market leadership is supported by continuous innovation in our Dot Cloud, our inventions in IoT data collection and our advances in applying AI to our customer problem sets. We will continuously invest in adding new applications and methods to our solutions. As such, spending on research and development will always be an important part of our strategy.

However, the driving force that will fuel our company is market growth. Our recent pivot to move most of our spending to Sales and Marketing shows a commitment to our go-to-market strategy. We recognize the need to increase adoption and expand brand awareness as we increase market share. This fiscal year is a critical period to add productive resources to ensure success is sustained.

Adding additional compliance and oversight resources as we grow, and especially as we adapt to operating as a public entity, is a natural and essential step. In addition, our small operations team will continue to grow as the demand increases from our maturing sales pipeline.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We will provide access to our Dot Cloud through subscription arrangements, where the customer is charged a per-subscription fee for access for a specified term. Subscription agreements will contain multiple service elements for one or more of our cloud-based Applications via mobile app(s) or a website that enables data collection and provides access to the cellular network, IoT devices (which we also refer to as connected devices), and support services delivered over the term of the arrangement. Our subscription contracts will typically have an initial term of three to five years and are generally non-cancellable and non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions under our standard terms of service and other exceptions for public sector customers, who are often subject to annual budget appropriations cycles. Our Connected Dot Cloud and IoT devices are highly integrated with the subscription service and together will represent a single performance obligation. Revenues attributable to this combined performance obligation are recognized over time as the services are delivered.

We also provide professional services including onboarding (implementation) services, marketing services, and product consulting. These services were evaluated to be distinct and are treated as separate performance obligations from the subscription services. Revenue related to these services are recognized over time as services are performed.

Currently, revenues are primarily related to the delivery of hardware products such as bridges, labels and gateways to customers. We also provide feasibility study reports to customers seeking to gain insight into how data driven tracking could improve their business, which is recognized upon acceptance of the feasibility report.

Allocation of Overhead Costs

Overhead costs that are not directly attributable to a specific functional group are allocated based on relative usage. These costs include expenses related to warehouse lease and cloud hosting services.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold will consists primarily of cellular-related costs, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses, customer support costs, warranty charges, employee-related costs directly associated with our customer support and operations, including salaries, employee benefits and share-based compensation, amortization of internal-use software development, certain cloud computing implementation costs, expenses related to shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, warehousing, write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory, and allocated overhead costs.

As our customers expand and increase the use of our Dot Cloud driven by additional IoT devices and Applications, our cost of goods sold may vary from quarter to quarter as a percentage of our revenue due to the timing and extent of these expenses. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our Dot Cloud and customer support and operations personnel as we grow our business. The level and timing of investment in these areas will affect our cost of goods sold in the future.

Operating Expenses

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits and share-based compensation, depreciation and other expenses related to prototyping IoT devices, product initiatives, software subscriptions, hosting used in research and development, and allocated overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on adding new features and products and enhancing the utility of our Dot Cloud. We capitalize the portion of our internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization. We expect our research and development expenses to generally increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development efforts to enhance our Dot Cloud. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities, including salaries, employee benefits and share-based compensation, and sales commissions. Sales and marketing expenses also include expenditures related to advertising, media, marketing, promotional costs, free trial expenses, brand awareness activities, business development, corporate partnerships, travel, conferences and events, professional services, and allocated overhead costs. We also have a heavy reliance on contracted services in these areas which are reflected in the department spend. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our customer base and increase our brand awareness. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, facilities, and certain IT personnel, including salaries, employee benefits and share-based compensation, professional fees for external legal, accounting, recruiting and other consulting services, credit losses, allocated overhead costs, and unallocated lease costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth and because of additional costs associated with legal, accounting, compliance, insurance, investor relations, and other areas associated with being a public company. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred for our short-term bridge loans.

Change in fair value of SAFE agreements

The change in the fair value of SAFE agreements represents the unrealized gains or losses resulting from the fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the outstanding SAFE agreements, or reevaluation of updated market conditions and company-specific factors.

Transaction costs

The Company accounts for transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination that occurred in June 2025, and therefore transaction costs expensed were not a component of our results of operations during 2024. Costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of equity instruments, such as legal, accounting, and advisory fees related to the merger and recapitalization, are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. All other transaction costs have been expensed as incurred.

Loss from extinguishment of debt

Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, one lender elected to convert a portion of its outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock. In connection with the bridge loan conversion, the Company derecognized the liability, issued shares of Common Stock and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment, based on the fair value of the Common Stock at the date of Closing.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three and nine months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin

Our total revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, and gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue increased by approximately $697 thousand, or 853.6%, to $778 thousand compared to $82 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to product revenue recognized during the current quarter from sales of bridges, gateways, and labels to existing customers, partially offset by a $196 thousand revenue reversal tied to an updated estimate based on the timing of actual revenue recognized compared to the estimate utilized related to the $2 million exclusivity client payment. Based on expected $175 million client spend over the 5-year term to retain exclusivity, the Company refined its estimate to recognize the exclusivity payment as revenue across the full 5 years.

Total cost of goods sold increased by $480 thousand, or 6,005.9%, to $488 thousand, reflecting higher material and labor costs associated with increased product sales. As a result, gross profit increased by $217 thousand, or 294.1%, to $290 thousand, compared to $74 thousand for the same period in 2024. Gross margin decreased to 37.3% from 90.2%, primarily due to the higher proportion of product sales, which generally carry lower margins.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue increased by approximately $1,074 thousand, or 585.0%, to $1,258 thousand compared to $184 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to product revenue recognized during the current period from sales of bridges, gateways, and labels to existing customers. Total cost of goods sold increased by $555 thousand, or 3,079.8%, to $573 thousand, reflecting higher material and labor costs associated with increased product sales. As a result, gross profit increased by $520 thousand, or 313.7%, to $685 thousand compared to $166 thousand for the same period in 2024. Gross margin decreased to 54.5% from 90.2%, primarily due to the higher proportion of product sales, which generally carry lower margins.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

• 25-

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $397 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $210 thousand, or 112.7%, compared to $187 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the onboarding of additional software and hardware development contractors, as well as higher personnel-related and prototype development costs to support new product initiatives. Our spending for research and development reflects our growing capacity to satisfy customer feature requests and continued investment in our technology roadmap. As a percentage of revenue, R&D expenses decreased to 51.0% from 228.7%, primarily due to significantly higher revenue in the current period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased by $512 thousand, or 111.4%, to $973 thousand compared to $460 thousand in the prior-year period. The year-to-date increase was primarily driven by onboarding additional development contractors and expanding engineering activities in support of the Company’s long-term product innovation goals. R&D expenses represented 77.3% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 250.5% in the same period of 2024, reflecting improved operating leverage as revenue expanded.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, sales and marketing expenses totaled $1,112 thousand, an increase of $473 thousand, or 74.1%, compared to $639 thousand for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by enhanced functionality in our customer relationship management software, as well as additional investment in customer support to expand our sales and marketing capabilities We expect to further increase spending in the following quarter to leverage additional public investment and strengthen this department to drive growth.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, sales and marketing expenses totaled $2,565 thousand, an increase of $802 thousand, or 45.5%, compared to $1,763 thousand in the same period of 2024, demonstrating the Company’s ongoing commitment to market expansion and revenue growth.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,743 thousand, an increase of $2,236 thousand, or 441.1%, compared to $507 thousand in the same period last year. The increase is primarily driven by labor costs related to the ramp-up of operations, higher administrative support for business functions, and increased back-office headcount. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,185 thousand, up $3,120 thousand, or 293.1%, compared to $1,064 thousand in the prior year, reflecting the continued expansion of operational infrastructure to support company growth.

Acquisition and integration

Acquisition and integration expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, acquisition and integration expenses were $243 thousand, a decrease of $392 thousand, or 61.7%, compared to $635 thousand in the same period of 2024. The decrease reflects lower professional and consulting costs as the Company completed the Business Combination on June 18, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, acquisition and integration expenses totaled $1,155 thousand, a decline of $346 thousand, or 23.1%, compared to $1,501 thousand in the prior year period. These expenses primarily consisted of accounting, auditing, and legal fees incurred in connection with the Business Combination, as well as other costs related to transaction execution and post-acquisition integration activities.

Other expenses – SAFE agreements

The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of SAFE agreements and the SAFE agreements activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there was no change in the fair value of SAFE notes, compared to a decrease of $0.8 million in the same period of 2024, representing a 100% decline. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a decrease in fair value of $17.4 million, compared to a decrease of $14.2 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.1 million, or 22%.

At the beginning of the three-month period, no SAFE agreements were outstanding, compared to $22.7 million at the same point in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SAFE agreements at fair value decreased from $23.3 million to zero, following the conversion of all outstanding notes into 2,909,057 shares of Common Stock. No new SAFE agreements were issued for cash during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in fair value of $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was based on the fair value of Common Stock at closing of $14.00 per share.

The decrease in the balance of SAFE agreements was primarily driven by the increased estimated fair value of the Company and the higher probability of the Business Combination, which closed on June 18, 2025, qualifying as an “Equity Financing” under the terms of the Company’s SAFE agreements. As a result, all outstanding SAFE notes were converted into Common Stock, and no SAFE notes remained outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Funding Requirements and Going Concern

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of common shares to PIPE investors contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our growth, our ability to attract and retain customers, the continued market acceptance of our solution, the timing and extent of spending necessary to support our efforts to develop our Dot Cloud and meet our performance obligations related to subscription sales of the same, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on us and our customers’ and partners’ businesses. Further, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, and technologies. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to finance our operations and expand our business.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management anticipates the Company will continue to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional near-term financing in order to continue its research and development activities. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund research and development activities and meet obligations on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to allow us to successfully continue our research and development activities and commercialize our products.

If the Company is unable to obtain necessary funds through its business operations and the proceeds realized through the business combination, significant reductions in spending and the delay or cancellation of planned activities may be necessary. These actions would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and prospects. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of $1,418,834 and $721,032, respectively, and working capital deficit of $5,404,007 and $1,215,988, respectively.

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of common shares to PIPE investors contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination in the amount of $10,837,643 and proceeds from the issuance of bridge loans. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $1,418,834. In the future, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity, debt financings, and improvement of cash from operations derived from selling subscriptions to our platform.

As part of its funding efforts, on June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with New Circle Principal Investment LLC (“New Circle”), which provides the Company the right, but not the obligation, to direct New Circle from time to time to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s Common Shares during the commitment period ending June 18, 2028, at a discount of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a defined pricing period. Under the SEPA, the Company may sell shares to the New Circle at a price based on either: option 1 – 97% of the lowest daily VWAP over the three trading days following the purchase notice, or option 2 – the greater of 85% of the VWAP or the lowest sale price on a specific trading day determined by the timing of the notice.

Any purchase would be subject to certain limitations, including that New Circle shall not purchase any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Common Stock or any shares that would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of the SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval was obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including where the average purchase price of all applicable sales of Common Shares equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately preceding the Effective Date; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

The Company had the option to satisfy the $350,000 commitment fee under the SEPA through the issuance of a variable number of shares of Common Stock or by payment in cash. On September 24, 2025, the Company paid the commitment fee through the issuance of 106,383 shares of Common Stock, valued at $3.29 per share, which was determined based on the closing price of the Common Stock on September 18, 2025, the date the Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC. The commitment fee of $350,000 was expensed in September 2025.

Before the Company elects to sell shares by issuing a purchase notice, the SEPA represents a purchased put option on the Company’s equity. Once the Company delivers a purchase notice under the SEPA, the related number of shares to be issued constitutes a forward contract to issue common stock. As the feature is embedded in an equity host, meets the definition of a derivative, and does not qualify for the equity scope exception under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, it must be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative asset or liability, depending on changes in the underlying stock price relative to the pegged discounted VWAP. The derivative is measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The fair value of the purchased put option was determined to be de minimis as of September 30, 2025, and therefore was not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as of that date.

No purchase notices were issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. On October 13, 2025, the Company issued a purchase notice to sell 30,000 shares of its common stock. The purchase price was settled at $2.6172 per share, resulting in total cash proceeds of $78,516.

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flow for the periods presented:

Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash is investments made by our shareholders. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, sales and marketing expenses, inventory purchases, and research & development activities. We generated negative cash flows from operations in the preceding two fiscal years. We have supplemented working capital through net proceeds from the sale of equity securities and bridge loans.

Cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This consisted of a net loss of $34.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $18.6 million, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $7.6 million. The non-cash charges were primarily composed of change in fair value of SAFE note expense of $17.4 million and loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million.

Cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This consisted of a net loss of $18.9 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $14.4 million, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million. The non-cash charges were primarily composed of change in fair value SAFE note expense of $14.2 million.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which primarily consisted of $484 thousand of property and equipment purchases and $899 thousand of capital expenditures for internal-use software development costs.

Cash used in investing activities was $579 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted of capital expenditures for internal-use software development costs.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which primarily consisted of $10.8 million in proceeds from PIPE investors.

Cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted of $3.8 million of proceeds from issuance of SAFE notes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our estimated future obligations consist of leases and non-cancelable purchase commitments as of September 30, 2025. For additional discussion on our leases and other commitments, refer to Note 13 – Leases and Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management 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 financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on 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. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for SAFE Agreements

In accordance with FASB ASC 815 40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company determined the SAFE agreements are freestanding financial instruments and, accordingly, are classified as “liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The SAFE agreements are carried at estimated fair value determined by the Company using a probability weighted expected return method.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determination of the transaction price;

4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

The Company primarily recognizes revenue from the sale and delivery of products. As it is still in the early stages of developing its software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, most revenue is derived from product sales, including bridges, gateways, and labels.

We also offer feasibility studies which allow customers to gain insight into how data driven tracking could improve their business. As part of our studies, off-the-shelf components are installed on customer-owned assets which enable data to be captured by our beta Zero Infrastructure Mesh (“ZIM”) technology network. These feasibility studies allow the refinement of our software protocols and provide essential information for the continued development of our solution. Customers receive the information captured in our feasibility study reports.

Our contracts with customers include various performance obligations which are satisfied at a point in time or over time. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the context of the contract and the nature of our promises to provide the customers with products and services.

The product performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, as our customers do not consume the benefits until the products are delivered. Accordingly, the consideration related to the performance obligations are recognized on when control of the products are transferred to the customer which is upon acceptance.

The estimates involved in revenue recognition pertain to determination of the stand-alone selling price. Management considered the data inputs for the stand-alone selling price and determined that the adjusted market assessment approach provided the best estimate of the stand-alone selling price and the total products and services to be delivered over the term of the contract. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the stand-alone selling price is remote.

The Company entered into an exclusivity agreement on November 8, 2024, and a partner agreement on December 18, 2024, with a major reseller. The exclusivity agreement grants the reseller the exclusive right to sell the Company’s products for one year, with automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods if specified sales targets are achieved. The partner agreement provides a 5% purchasing incentive based on the reseller’s quarterly growth in total solution purchases and requires the Company to contribute at least 1% of revenue toward marketing activities, paid as a rebate. Management concluded that the exclusivity agreement, partner agreement, and future product purchase orders should be combined and accounted for as a single contract under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In November 2024, the Company received a $2,000,000 payment from the reseller for a five-year exclusivity right, including four successive one year automatic renewal periods, granting the reseller exclusive rights to distribute the Company’s products to its customers. Since exclusivity does not represent a distinct performance obligation under ASC 606, the payment was recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue will be recognized over the contract term in proportion to the products and services delivered, based on estimated total sales over the five-year period. These estimates will be reviewed quarterly and adjusted based on the reseller’s actual performance. If the reseller fails to meet sales targets and the agreement is terminated, any remaining deferred revenue will be recognized at that time.

Under ASC 606, both the incentive and rebate represent variable consideration, as they depend on actual sales volume. Management will estimate expected sales and related rebates to determine the transaction price and recognize revenue accordingly. The purchasing incentive and marketing rebate are not separate performance obligations, and variable consideration related to these incentives will be included in revenue only when it is probable that no significant reversal will occur once uncertainties are resolved. The Company will accrue the incentive amount at the end of each quarter when sales revenue is finalized.

Internal-Use Software Development

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 40, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software, we capitalize software development costs incurred on new applications or enhancements to applications during the application development phase of software for internal use to provide services to customers. These capitalized costs include certain payroll and payroll related costs for employees and costs for outside consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal use software projects. Costs incurred prior to the application development phase and after the market release are expensed as incurred.

Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life from the date the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The estimated useful life will be determined based on management’s judgment on how long the core technology and functionality serves internal needs and the customer base. Once projects are substantially complete, management will evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and will test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. These costs are not yet amortized as our SaaS solution has not been deployed.

Management considers use of estimates in determining the appropriate allocation of personnel costs (including fringe benefits and stock compensation) and software development consultants’ costs to software capitalization. Such costs were analyzed for reasonableness and the current basis (evaluation of project plans and stage) is determined to be the best estimate of the costs capitalized during the period. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the software cost capitalized is remote.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

We describe the recently issued accounting pronouncements that apply in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our current management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated 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, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.

Notwithstanding the conclusion by our CEO and CFO that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Material Weaknesses

Costs of Goods Sold. During the preparation of financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management identified multiple costs that were improperly included in cost of goods sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as well as for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as disclosed in Note 4 of this condensed consolidated financial statements. The root cause of the error was a lack of preventative control designed to ensure proper categorization of expenses on purchase orders generated by our operating departments. In addition, the Company lacked detective controls to ensure finance management reviewed period-over-period changes in cost of goods sold relative to budgeted and actual production levels. As a result of these control deficiencies, cost of goods sold was overstated by $310,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with a corresponding understatement of total operating expenses, and by $137,204 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, also with a corresponding understatement of total operating expenses. See Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Accounting Personnel and Financial Reporting Controls. Management also identified that the Company does not currently have adequate staffing in its accounting department and has not yet designed and implemented the appropriate processes and internal controls to support accurate and timely financial reporting, which (i) may restrict the Company’s ability to review and approve certain material journal entries which increases the likelihood that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements might not be prevented; and (ii) resulted in the Company’s inability to have proper segregation of duties between the preparation, review and approval of certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner.

Fair Value Calculation Controls. In addition, management identified a material weaknesses in the design of internal controls related to the review of the fair value calculation of SAFE notes performed by a third-party valuation specialist. The controls lacked the precision needed to detect inappropriate inputs that could materially impact valuation.

The Company is actively working to develop and implement remediation plans related to the material weakness identified in this section captioned “Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures.” Remediation efforts include enhancing the design and implementation of controls over the accounting for financial instruments and hiring additional qualified accounting personnel.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in described in our Form S-4 filed on January 15, 2025 and Closing Form 8-K filed on June 26, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Business disruptions could have serious adverse consequences on our future revenue and financial condition and result in losses that may not be covered by insurance.

Our operations, particularly our operations in Puerto Rico, could be subject to the impact of natural or man-made disasters or other business disruptions, which include, but are not limited to, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, water shortages, wildfires and fires, blizzards and other extreme weather conditions as well as power outages, telecommunications, transportation or infrastructure failure, cybersecurity incidents or physical security breaches related to such catastrophes, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and geopolitical conflicts, including acts of terrorism, war and civil disorder. We carry insurance against certain risks and in such amounts as we believe are customary for businesses of our kind. However, as the costs and availability of insurance change, we may decide not to be covered against certain losses, including losses resulting from such natural and man-made disasters or environmental liabilities where, in the judgment of management, the insurance is not warranted due to cost or availability of coverage or the remoteness of perceived risk. Furthermore, there are certain types of losses that are generally not insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Moreover, the cost of insurance has increased significantly, including as a result of the impact of climate change and inflation, and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost to protect us against losses.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary in Puerto Rico has been granted certain incentives under Act 60 (described below), and the validity of these incentives are conditioned on our continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant.

Our Puerto Rican subsidiary has been granted various incentives under Act 60, including a reduced 1% income tax rate on its industrial development income and a 15-year exemption term from (i) December 23, 2024 for income tax purposes, (ii) January 1, 2024 for real and personal property tax purposes, and (iii) January 1, 2025 for municipal license tax purposes. The validity of these tax incentives is conditioned on our Puerto Rican subsidiary’s continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant.
