9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure
controls and procedures,” as defined in the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based
on that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, as of
December 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective for the period covered by this report.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, the responsible officers concluded that the Company did not maintain sufficient controls to ensure the proper identification,
bifurcation and fair value measurement of embedded derivatives in hybrid financial instruments, or to ensure that the effective interest
method was applied over the accretion period for host debt instruments containing a discount. Corrective actions have been implemented
to address this control weakness after the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, two officers of the Company reported Section 16(b) trading
violations. These transactions were reported timely on Form 4, but occurred within six months of previously disclosed transactions, creating
short-swing profits. As required by Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the profits were disgorged to the Company on
January 16, 2026.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting
or an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established
by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management is implementing corrective actions to address the material weaknesses discovered in connection with the
preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including enhancing its technical accounting review procedures for complex financial instruments,
engaging additional external resources with expertise in derivative accounting under ASC 815, and strengthening its controls around the
review and approval of significant accounting estimates and elections. The Company’s Insider Trading Policy has been modified to
emphasize the restrictions on any stock transactions within six months of a previous reported transaction. Management will continue to
monitor the effectiveness of these corrective actions in subsequent periods.

Insider
Trading Arrangements
On
September 22, 2025, Mark Hamm , the Company’s Chief Operating Officer , entered into a trading plan intended to satisfy the affirmative
defense conditions of Rule 10b5 -1(c) under the Exchange Act. The plan provides for the sale, subject to certain price limits, of 144,102
shares vesting between September 22, 2025 and September 21, 2026 , pursuant to certain equity awards granted to Mr. Hamm, excluding any
shares withheld by the Company to satisfy income tax withholding and remittance obligations. Mr. Hamm’s plan will expire on September
21, 2026 , subject to early termination in accordance with the terms of the plan.
Section
16(b) Short-Swing Profit Matter
Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of a registered
class of an issuer’s equity securities to disgorge to the issuer any profits realized from the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase,
of the issuer’s equity securities within a six-month period.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that Daniel O’Toole, a Director, Officer, and beneficial owner
of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, and Neerav Shah, a Director and Officer, engaged in transactions in the Company’s
common stock that may have resulted in short-swing profits under Section 16(b). These transactions were not undertaken with the intent
to realize short-swing profits and were the result of administrative oversight.
Upon
identifying the transactions, the Company notified the applicable individuals. On January 16, 2026, the individuals disgorged to the Company an amount equal to
the calculated short-swing profit of approximately $129,701 in accordance with Section 16(b). The Company does not believe that this
matter will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

44
Corporate
Governance
Controlled
Company Status
The
Company ceased to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on or
around April 9, 2026, and is permitted to continue to rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements within
a year following such date, including the requirement that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors and the requirement
that the compensation and nominating committees be composed entirely of independent directors. The Company currently relies on these
exemptions.
Notwithstanding
these exemptions, the Company maintains an Audit and Finance Committee composed entirely of independent directors in accordance with
applicable Nasdaq and SEC requirements.
Board
Leadership Structure
Daniel
O’Toole serves as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that combining the roles of Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer promotes unified leadership and direction for the Company and facilitates effective communication between
management and the Board.
The
Board does not have a Lead Independent Director. The independent directors meet in executive session without management present on a
periodic basis. The Board believes this structure, together with the presence of independent directors and committee oversight, provides
appropriate independent oversight of management.
The
Board retains flexibility to modify its leadership structure in the future as it deems appropriate.
Role
of the Board in Risk Oversight
The
Board oversees the Company’s risk management processes. Management is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing material
risks facing the Company, including operational, financial, legal, regulatory, and strategic risks.
The
Board receives periodic reports from management regarding significant risks and mitigation efforts. Each Board committee assists the
Board in overseeing risk within its respective area of responsibility:
● The
Audit and Finance Committee oversees risks related to financial reporting, internal controls,
accounting policies, compliance, and cybersecurity.
● The
Compensation Committee oversees risks related to executive compensation policies and practices.
● The
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees risks related to board structure,
governance practices, and director independence.
While
committees focus on specific risk areas, the full Board is regularly informed regarding material risks affecting the Company.
45
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing standards require that audit committee members satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that compensation committee members satisfy the independence requirements
of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act.
The
Board has affirmatively determined that John Gallina, Kevin McAdams, and Laurie Tucker qualify as independent directors under the applicable
Nasdaq listing standards. The Board has further determined that each member of the Audit and Finance Committee satisfies the enhanced
independence requirements applicable to audit committee members under SEC and Nasdaq rules.
During the year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company was a controlled company. It was not required to maintain a majority independent Board or fully independent compensation and
nominating committees, and it relied on those exemptions.
Board
Committees
The
Board has established three standing committees:
● Audit
and Finance Committee
● Compensation
Committee
● Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee
Each
committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board. The charters are available on the Company’s website.
Audit
and Finance Committee
The
Audit and Finance Committee consists of John Gallina (Chair), Kevin McAdams, and Laurie Tucker. The Board has determined that each member
of the committee is independent under Nasdaq and SEC rules applicable to audit committee members.
The
Audit and Finance Committee’s primary responsibilities include:
● Overseeing
the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process;
● Reviewing
annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures;
● Overseeing
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting;
● Appointing,
compensating, retaining, and overseeing the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm;
● Reviewing
the qualifications, independence, and performance of the independent auditor;
● Establishing
procedures for the receipt and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls,
or auditing matters;
● Reviewing
related party transactions as required.
The
Board has determined that John Gallina qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.
Compensation
Committee
The
Compensation Committee consists of Kevin McAdams (Chair), John Gallina, and Laurie Tucker, each of whom the Board has determined to be
independent under Nasdaq listing standards. Each member is also a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act.
The
Compensation Committee’s primary responsibilities include:
● Reviewing
and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation;
● Evaluating
executive officer performance;
● Determining
and approving executive compensation, including salary and incentive awards;
● Administering
the Company’s equity and incentive compensation plans;
● Recommending
director compensation to the Board.
The
Compensation Committee may form subcommittees and delegate authority to the extent permitted by applicable law and its charter.
46
Corporate
Governance and Nominating Committee
The
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Laurie Tucker (Chair), Kevin McAdams, John Gallina, and John Ritchison.
The Board has determined that Ms. Tucker, Mr. Gallina, and Mr. McAdams are independent under Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Ritchison
is not independent due to his employment with the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company relied on the
controlled company exemption with respect to full independence of this committee.
The
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s primary responsibilities include:
● Identifying
and recommending director nominees;
● Considering
director candidates recommended by stockholders;
● Reviewing
the size and composition of the Board and its committees;
● Overseeing
Board evaluations;
● Recommending
corporate governance principles and policies.
Meetings
of the Board
The
Board holds regular meetings and may hold special meetings as necessary. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, meetings of
committees on which they serve, and the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.
Independent
directors meet in executive session without management periodically during the year
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
The
Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers, and employees, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code addresses, among other matters:
● Conflicts
of interest
● Compliance
with laws
● Insider
trading
● Protection
of Company assets
● Ethical
conduct and reporting obligations
The
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s website and filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company intends to disclose any amendments to,
or waivers from, provisions of the Code applicable to its principal executive officer or principal financial officer on its website
or in a Current Report on Form 8-K, as required by SEC rules.
Delinquent

47
To
our knowledge, based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 filed with the SEC during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we
believe that our directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% beneficial owners have complied with all applicable filing requirements

We
are an “emerging growth company” under applicable SEC rules and are providing disclosure regarding our executive compensation
arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to emerging growth companies, which means that we are not required to provide a compensation
discussion and analysis and certain other disclosures regarding our executive compensation. The following discussion relates to the compensation
of our named executive officers for 2025.
Following
the adoption of the Compensation Committee charter in October 2023, the Compensation Committee determines and approves all elements of
executive officer compensation. The Compensation Committee’s primary objectives in determining executive officer compensation are
to (i) develop an overall compensation package that is at market levels and thus fosters executive officer retention and (ii) align the
interests of our executive officers with our stockholders by linking a significant portion of the compensation package to performance.
Pay
Versus Performance
As
required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation
actually paid and certain financial performance measures of the Company. As a smaller reporting company and in our first year of providing
this disclosure, we are presenting information for fiscal years 2025 and 2024.

for fiscal year 2024 is not presented because the Company’s common stock was not publicly
traded during that fiscal year. TSR for fiscal year 2025 reflects the cumulative return on
a $100 investment beginning on May 15, 2025, the first trading day of the Company’s
common stock on Nasdaq, through December 31, 2025.
(2) Compensation
Actually Paid (“CAP”) is calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K and differs from the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table. CAP reflects
adjustments to remove the grant date fair value of equity awards included in the Summary
Compensation Table and to include the fair value of equity awards as of the end of the applicable
fiscal year or the vesting date, as applicable, together with changes in fair value of such
awards during the year.
(3) The
Company’s Principal Executive Officer did not receive equity awards during fiscal years
2025 or 2024. Accordingly, Compensation Actually Paid to the PEO is equal to the total compensation
reported for the PEO in the Summary Compensation Table for those fiscal years.
(4) The
fair value of stock option awards used in determining Compensation Actually Paid was calculated
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the Company’s stock price and updated
valuation assumptions as of the applicable measurement dates.
Compensation
Actually Paid
Compensation
Actually Paid (“CAP”) is calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and differs from the amounts reported
in the Summary Compensation Table. CAP reflects adjustments to remove the grant date fair value of equity awards and to include the fair
value of equity awards as of the end of the applicable fiscal year or the vesting date, as applicable, together with any changes in fair
value of such awards during the year.
Total
Shareholder Return
Total
Shareholder Return (“TSR”) reflects the cumulative return on a $100 investment in the Company’s common stock beginning
on May 15, 2025, the first trading day of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, through December 31, 2025. The Company did not
pay dividends during fiscal year 2025. Because the Company was not publicly traded during fiscal year 2024, TSR for fiscal year 2024
is not presented.
49
Company-Selected
Measure
For
fiscal year 2025, the Company selected Net Income (Loss) as its Company-Selected Measure. During fiscal year 2025, executive compensation
was not based on a formulaic financial performance metric. Instead, compensation decisions reflected the Company’s strategic objectives,
including completion of its public listing and establishment of a financing facility to support future growth, and Board discretion.
Because
revenue was not material and the Company was in an investment and development phase, Net Income (Loss) is the most directly applicable
financial performance measure presented in the table above.
Relationship
Between Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)
The
Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 2025 and 2024 as it continued to invest in product development, intellectual property, commercialization
activities and public company readiness. Net income (loss) was not used as a determinative factor in setting base salary, equity award
levels, or cash incentive compensation for fiscal year 2025. Accordingly, Compensation Actually Paid to the PEO and the average Compensation
Actually Paid to the non-PEO named executive officers was not directly tied to net income (loss) during these periods. Rather, compensation
decisions were based on overall Company progress and strategic initiatives, including the Company’s public listing and financing
activities.
Relationship
Between Compensation Actually Paid and Total Shareholder Return
Total
Shareholder Return (“TSR”) reflects the cumulative return on a $100 investment in the Company’s common stock beginning
on May 15, 2025, the first trading day of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, through December 31, 2025. Changes in Compensation
Actually Paid during fiscal year 2025 were significantly influenced by changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock
following its public listing. As reflected in the TSR presented above, the Company’s stock price experienced volatility during
fiscal year 2025. Because Compensation Actually Paid includes adjustments reflecting the fair value of equity awards, fluctuations in
stock price directly impact reported CAP amounts.
Relationship
Between Compensation Actually Paid and the Company-Selected Measure
For
fiscal year 2025, executive compensation was not directly formulaically tied to a specific financial metric. However, compensation decisions
considered the Company’s advancement of strategic objectives, including product development, intellectual property expansion, commercialization
efforts, and public listing milestones.
Beginning
in fiscal year 2026, the Company intends to implement an executive incentive compensation program tied to defined corporate goals approved
annually by the Compensation Committee. These corporate goals may include strategic, operational, and financial objectives tailored to
the Company’s stage of development and long-term growth strategy.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
The
following is a description of transactions since 2020, including currently proposed transactions to which Arrive has been a party in
which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of Arrive AI’s directors (including nominees), executive
officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of Arrive AI’s capital stock, or their immediate family members or entities affiliated
with them, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms and conditions set forth in such agreements
are reasonable and customary for transactions of this type.

Party Lease of Company Headquarters
On
October 1, 2025, the Company signed a new five-year lease agreement for office space in Fishers Indiana. The lessor and building owner
is a related party owned by the Company’s CEO Daniel O’Toole. Under the triple-net lease, the Company is responsible for base rent plus separately assessed taxes, insurance, and
common area maintenance charges (‘NNN costs’). The base rent is $44,481 per month for the first twelve months, increasing 3% annually
thereafter. Based on current estimates, NNN costs are approximately $9,885 per month, resulting in an estimated all-in monthly cash outlay
of approximately $54,366. NNN costs are variable in nature and subject to change based on actual tax assessments, insurance premiums,
and maintenance charges incurred. The lease term is October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030.
The
terms of the lease, including the base monthly rent and other material provisions, were determined through negotiations between the Company
and the related party lessor. In establishing the rental rate of $54,366 per month, management considered prevailing market rental rates
for comparable office properties in the Fishers, Indiana area, including properties of similar size, class, location and lease structure.
The Company also evaluated then-current commercial real estate market conditions and customary triple-net lease terms. Management believes
that the lease terms, taken as a whole, are consistent with those that would have been obtained in an arm’s-length transaction
with an unrelated third party.
The
lease was reviewed and approved in accordance with the Company’s related party transaction review procedures. In evaluating the
transaction, the Board of Directors (with the interested director abstaining) considered, among other factors, comparable market data
for similar office properties, the strategic suitability of the premises, and the overall cost structure relative to available alternatives.
The Company did not obtain an independent third-party appraisal or fairness opinion in connection with the lease; however, based on the
information reviewed and the factors described above, the Board determined that the lease terms are fair to the Company and in its best
interests.
Related Party Lease of Warehouse
The Company leased warehouse space owned by the Company’s
CEO Daniel O’Toole. The lease was originally signed on November 15, 2021. The monthly rent, including utilities, was $2,250. This month-to-month
lease was terminated on October 5, 2025.
Exclusive
Patent License Agreement
Arrive
executed an exclusive patent license agreement on May 26, 2020 with its CEO, the licensor and sole owner of all right, title and interest
in certain technology consisting of inventions, know-how, patents and patents applications, technology to be patented and trademarks
relating to secured drone delivery ALM mailboxes and receiving containers for residential and commercial applications, collectively the
products which are described in more detail in the table below. The Company, as licensee, has the exclusive right to sell, manufacture,
and otherwise commercialize the technology and the products worldwide in exchange for a pre-revenue monthly fee equal to $10,000.00.
Additionally, once revenue from sales, rentals, and leases begin and exceeds $10,000.00 a month, then the licensee must pay licensor
a fee per unit or product sold, rented or leased equal to $25.00. The agreement also includes a provision where the Arrive must commence
development and marketing of the products within 36 months of the execution of the agreement in order to remain in force, otherwise at
the end of the 36 months, all rights shall revert to licensor with no further rights for such product or obligations of licensor to licensee,
however if no action is taken by the licensor, the agreement has a term of seven years, a period which may be extended upon mutual consent
and in the best interest for both parties. This license agreement also contains
other customary representations and covenants of agreements of similar type and scope. Through December 31, 2024, the total of payments
made to the CEO under the license agreement is $540,000, The Company estimates that the approximate value of the license agreement once
the Company starts generating revenue from commercial operations is approximately $17 million over the course of ten years, this is using
the formula of $25 per each installed unit and based on management’s internal sales projections of approximately 675,000 units
over that period. The foregoing description of the license agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the text of such document, which is filed as an exhibit to our Direct Listing Registration Statement.

On
December 10, 2024, the Company and its CEO, Mr. O’Toole, entered into the First Amendment to the Exclusive Patent License Agreement,
whereby the term of such agreement was extended beyond the original seven years to perpetuity for the full life of the covered patents.
If the Company materially defaults in performing any terms of the agreement and does not cure timely to Mr. O’Toole’s satisfaction,
Mr. O’Toole may terminate the agreement upon proper notice. Subsequent to the termination of the agreement, the Company agrees
to not engage in the use, sale, or other commercialization of the intellectual properties and not sell related products. The foregoing
description of the license agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, which
is filed as an exhibit to our Direct Listing Registration Statement.
58
On
March 10, 2025, the Company and its CEO, Mr. O’Toole, entered into the Second Amendment to the Exclusive Patent License Agreement.
The Second Amendment extends the license to perpetuity, covering the full term and life of the patents, and incorporates all terms from
the original Agreement and the First Amendment. In the event of a default, the defaulting party has 60 days to cure. If the default is
not cured, the license transitions to a non-exclusive license, allowing both parties to seek additional licensees or sources for similar
technology, while royalty payments continue into perpetuity or until the 20-year patent term ends. The Second Amendment also removes
prior restrictions on the Company’s use, sale, or commercialization of the technology after termination, permitting the sale of
remaining inventory for up to 90 days post-termination, provided all required reports and payments are made under the Agreement. The
foregoing description of the license agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document,
which is filed as an exhibit to our Direct Listing Registration Statement
The
financial terms of the Exclusive Patent License Agreement, including the $10,000 monthly pre-revenue fee and the $25 per-unit royalty
once monthly revenues exceed $10,000, were determined through negotiations between the Company and the licensor. In determining the consideration
structure, the parties considered, among other factors:
● The
scope and exclusivity of the license (worldwide and exclusive rights);
● The
stage of development and commercial readiness of the licensed technology at the time of execution;
● Comparable
royalty structures observed in technology and intellectual property licensing arrangements
within the industry;
● The
anticipated commercial value of the patents and related intellectual property; and
● The
allocation of development, commercialization, and market risk to the Company.
The
Company believes the structure of fixed pre-revenue payments combined with a per-unit royalty is consistent with licensing practices
for early-stage, exclusive technology arrangements.
The
subsequent amendments were reviewed and approved in accordance with the Company’s related party transaction approval policies.
In evaluating the fairness of the transaction, the Board of Directors (with the interested director abstaining) considered the strategic
importance of securing exclusive rights to the core intellectual property underlying the Company’s business model, the projected
long-term economic benefits to the Company, and the expected royalty obligations relative to projected unit economics and margins.
The
Company did not obtain an independent third-party valuation or fairness opinion with respect to the license agreement or its amendments.
The Board concluded that the terms of the agreement, including the amendments extending the term and modifying termination provisions,
were fair to the Company and in its best interests based on the totality of the circumstances and information reviewed at the time of
approval.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Arrive AI Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of
Arrive AI Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability
to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring
operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, which raises substantial doubt about their ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Arrive AI, Inc. (formerly Arrive Technology, Inc.)
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Arrive AI, Inc. (formerly Arrive Technology, Inc.) (the Company) as of December
31, 2024, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory
Paragraph – Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
4 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $15,920,555 and a net loss for the current year of $4,537,901.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding
these matters are also described in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
We
determined that there were no critical audit matters.

NOTE
1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Arrive
AI Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on April 30, 2020, in the State of Delaware as Dronedek Corporation. On July 27, 2023, Dronedek
Corporation changed its name to Arrive Technology Inc. On September 27, 2024, Arrive Technology Inc. changed its name to Arrive AI Inc.
The Company is an early-stage technology company with a focus on designing and implementing a commercially-viable smart mailbox for
drone, robotic and human package receiving and storage.
The
Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies of similar size in its industry, including, but not limited
to, the need for successful development of products, the need for additional capital (or financing) to fund operating losses, competition
from substitute products and services from larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, patent litigation, dependence on key
individuals, and risks associated with changes in information technology.
The
Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), enacted on April 5,
2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.
NOTE
2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
equivalents, including money market accounts held at financial institutions. The Company did not have cash equivalents at December 31,
2025 and 2024.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company’s policy is to maintain its cash balances in accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”)
or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (the “SIPC”). The Company may periodically have cash balances in financial
institutions in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately
$ 1,604,004 and $ 0 of cash in excess of insured limits, respectively.
Management
believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant risk concerning its cash balances. To date, the Company has not recognized
any losses caused by uninsured balances.
Investments
at Fair Value
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company invested a portion of its excess cash in exchange-traded equity securities. The
Company accounts for these investments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities . Equity securities with readily
determinable fair values are measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement
of operations as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains and losses on the sale or disposition of equity securities are also
recognized in the statement of operations in the period of sale. The Company classifies the fair value of these securities within
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy established under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , as the securities are exchange-traded
with quoted prices in active markets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held no equity securities.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the
Company also wrote covered call options against its long equity security positions to generate income from option premiums. Written
call options are recognized as liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , and are
remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. The Company does not designate these instruments as accounting hedges; accordingly,
changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations within other income (expense).
These instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are exchange-traded and valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Premiums received are reflected
in the initial fair value of the derivative liability and are subsequently recognized in earnings through changes in fair value over the
life of the contract, as the options are traded on recognized national
exchanges with quoted prices in active markets. Option premium income received at the time of writing is initially recorded as a
liability representing the fair value of the written option and is recognized in earnings upon settlement or expiration of the
contract.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
recognized a realized gain of $133,104 related to equity securities and written call option activity, which is included in other income (expense) in the
statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
Company held no equity securities or written call option positions.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts
receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms, which are typically due upon receipt of the invoice. Credit is extended
based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are stated as amounts
due from customers net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses at each balance
sheet date. This estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses based on the aging of receivables. Receivables
with similar risk characteristics are pooled for the estimation of expected credit losses. Management adjusts its historical estimate
based on its assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other factors deemed
relevant by the Company. At each reporting date, the Company updates its estimate of expected credit losses to reflect any changes in
credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded.
The
Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there
is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in earnings
in the year of recovery, in accordance with the entity’s accounting policy. The Company did not record an allowance for credit
losses at December 31, 2025 or 2024, as management determined that substantially all outstanding receivables were fully collectible.
The Company did not incur material write-offs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset
ranging from 2 two
to 5 five
years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives
of the assets.
Maintenance
and repairs of property are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition
of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
included in operations.
Intangible
Assets – Patents
The
Company capitalizes external costs, such as filing fees, registration documentation, and attorney fees associated with the application
and issuance of patents. The Company expenses costs associated with maintaining and defending patents subsequent to issuance in the period
incurred. The Company amortizes capitalized patent costs for internally generated patents on a straight-line basis over a range of 13 thirteen
to 16 sixteen
years or the period in which the goods associated with the patent will be revenue-generating, which represents the estimated useful lives
of the patents. The estimated useful lives for internally generated patents are based on the assessment of the following factors: the
integrated nature of the patent portfolios being licensed (including the ability of the patent to generate viable goods and revenues),
the overall makeup of the patent portfolio over time, and the length of license agreements for such patents. The Company assesses the
potential impairment of all capitalized patent costs when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
Company’s patent portfolio may not be recoverable.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future cashflows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the assets.
The
Company has three types of long-lived assets: property and equipment, including vehicles, equipment, and leasehold improvements; construction-in-progress
(CIP), and intangible patent assets including those acquired by the acquisition of Airbox Technology in 2023. An impairment loss of $ 10,541
of one Arrive Point unit that was damaged beyond repair prior to being placed into service was recognized in general and administrative
expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. No other impairments of long-lived assets were considered necessary as of December 31,
2025 or 2024.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company generates revenue from
consulting and implementation services and recurring subscription services for access to the Arrive Point network. The Company identifies
performance obligations in its contracts with customers, which generally consist of consulting services, installation services, and subscription
services. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. Contracts
are typically short-term in nature and generally do not include significant variable consideration or financing components.
Consulting
and subscription services are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services
in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-27(a). Revenue is recognized using an appropriate measure of progress that reflects the transfer of
control to the customer, generally based on time elapsed or services performed.
Installation
services are generally recognized at a point in time when control of the service is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs
upon completion of installation and customer acceptance, if applicable.
Contract
Balances
The
timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, and, when applicable, unbilled
receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the balance sheet. The Company may
request advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, which results in contract liabilities. These contract
liabilities are released as the performance obligations are satisfied. As disclosed in NOTE 3, the Company did not have any contract
assets or contract liabilities recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Leases
The
Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases . The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at
contract inception. The Company classifies leases as operating or finance leases at commencement; however, all of the
Company’s leases are currently classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in “Right-of-use assets
– operating leases” and “Operating lease liabilities” in the Company’s balance sheets.
F- 10
ARRIVE
AI INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities
represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease
liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments
included in the measurement of the lease liability consist of fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index or rate,
as applicable. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred.
The
Company uses the rate implicit in the lease when that rate is readily determinable. If the implicit rate is not readily determinable,
the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date, which reflects the rate of interest the Company would pay to
borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. The lease term includes options to extend or
terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease and non-lease components are generally
accounted for separately. The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption and does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities
for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Equity
Financing
The
Company has entered into equity financing transactions to obtain the funds necessary to continue operations and develop a commercially
viable smart mailbox system for drone, robotic and human package receiving and storage. These transactions have included the issuance
of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock.
The
Company evaluates warrants issued in connection with equity financing transactions under ASC 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity , and, if the warrants are not required to
be classified as liabilities under ASC 480, the Company then evaluates them under ASC 815-40, Derivatives
and Hedging , to determine whether they are indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the
criteria for equity classification. The Company concluded that the warrants meet the criteria for equity classification and are accounted
for as equity instruments.
Depending on the terms and conditions of each equity financing transaction, the warrants are exercisable into additional
common shares at an agreed-upon price, as defined in the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“the agreement”) prior to the
expiration of the warrants as stipulated by the terms of the transaction in the agreement.
The
shares eligible for issuance under the outstanding warrants were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on July 28, 2025.
Treasury
Stock
In
September 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock. The Company repurchased 19,700 shares
for $ 74,743 during the year ended December 31, 2025. The stock was fully retired as of December 31, 2025, which reduced the number of issued shares of common stock.
Loss
per share
The
Company follows ASC 260, Earnings per Share , resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic loss
per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents, and
potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the years ended December 31,
2025 and 2024, common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants, were anti-dilutive; therefore, the amounts reported for
basic and diluted loss per share were the same.
The following potentially dilutive securities were
excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

Loss
The Company follows ASC 220-10, “Reporting
Comprehensive Income (Loss).” Comprehensive loss is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure
of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net loss. The Company had no items
of other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Accordingly, comprehensive loss equals net loss
for those periods.

Offering
Costs
The
Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with ASC 340-10-S99-1, Other Assets and Deferred Costs and SAB Topic 5A, Expenses
of Offering . Costs that are directly attributable to proposed or actual equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs
until the offering is completed. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting, and other expenses. Upon completion
of an equity offering, such costs are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds and reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in
capital. If an offering is abandoned, the related deferred offering costs are expensed.
Research
and Development
Research
and Development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development . R&D
expenses primarily consist of fees paid to third-party consultants and other costs incurred in the development of the Company’s
proprietary technology.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized R&D expense of $ 600,510 and $ 760,036 , respectively.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $ 73,896 and $ 189,026 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These costs
when incurred are included in sales and marketing expenses.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on
estimated fair values on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
model. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The
value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods using
the straight-line method.
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting , the Company accounts for share-based payment transactions for
acquiring goods and services from nonemployees in a manner consistent with employee awards. Such awards are measured at the
grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued and recognized as expense when the goods are delivered or services are
rendered, unless the awards are subject to vesting conditions, in which case expense is recognized over the requisite service
period.
The
Company has elected to account for forfeiture of stock-based awards as they occur.
The
average fair value of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock was determined to be $ 13.00 for the period of January 1, 2025
to May 15, 2025 and $ 12.00 for the year ended December 31, 2024. On May 15, 2025, the Company completed its direct listing,
and its common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Subsequent to May 15, 2025, the price of the Company’s common
stock was determined by the Nasdaq daily closing stock price.
Prior
to May 15, 2025, the fair value of common stock was determined using the prior transaction method, which considers actual
transactions in the Company’s non-controlling, non-marketable private company equity interests. This method reflects the value
of a non-controlling, non-marketable interest; however, management concluded that no additional discount for lack of control or
marketability was necessary based on the specific facts and circumstances. As part of this methodology, there are a number of
limiting assumptions, however, management believes it appropriately represents the fair market value indication for one (1) share of
the Company’s common stock. Prior to May 15, 2025, because the Company’s stock was not publicly traded, expected
volatility was estimated based on the historical and implied volatility of comparable publicly traded companies, considering factors such as industry, stage of the life cycle, size, market capitalization, and financial leverage.
Convertible Notes Payable and
Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470, Debt ,
and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . At issuance, the Company evaluates each convertible note to determine whether any embedded
features must be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability.
If an embedded conversion feature fails the indexed-to-own-stock test under ASC 815-40-15, because the conversion price is determined by a path-dependent formula rather than a fixed price or a current observable price, the conversion feature is bifurcated from the host debt instrument and recognized as a derivative liability at fair value on the issuance date. The host debt instrument is then recorded at an initial carrying value equal to the cash proceeds received, reduced by (i) the original issue discount (“OID”), (ii) the fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability at issuance, and (iii) debt issuance costs allocable to the host instrument.
F- 12
ARRIVE
AI INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
When an embedded derivative is bifurcated
from a convertible note at issuance, the Company initially records the derivative liability at fair value, with the residual
proceeds allocated to the host debt instrument, consistent with ASC 835-30 and ASC 815. Debt issuance costs are allocated
consistently with this initial measurement approach. The portion of issuance costs allocated to the derivative liability is expensed
immediately in the period of issuance. The portion of issuance costs allocated to the host debt instrument is recorded as a
contra-debt balance (debt issuance costs) and amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the note using the effective
interest method (“EIM”).
The combined discount on each host debt instrument consisting of OID, the fair value of the bifurcated derivative at issuance, and allocated debt issuance costs is accreted to the face amount of the note using the EIM over the expected term of each note in accordance with ASC 835-30.
Where a convertible note has no stated maturity date, the Company estimates the expected term based on management’s best estimate of the period over which the debt is expected to remain outstanding, considering
the economic substance of the instrument, the contractual terms, the expected timing and pattern of conversion or settlement, and other
relevant facts and circumstances. The expected term used for accretion of the host debt instrument is applied consistently with the expected
term used in valuing any bifurcated embedded derivative. This estimate is reassessed when facts and circumstances indicate a change may
be warranted.
Bifurcated derivative liabilities are recognized at fair value on the issuance date of the applicable convertible
note and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at each conversion date, in accordance with ASC 815. Changes
in fair value are recognized in earnings as a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities and are presented as a separate
line item within other income (expense) in the statement of operations.
When
the conversion feature’s fair value cannot be estimated using a closed-form solution because the conversion price is based on a
formula that incorporates path-dependent inputs, the Company estimates fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model simulates
a large number of potential stock price paths and computes the expected present value of the conversion payoff under each path.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation include the expected equity volatility, expected instrument term,
risk-free rate, and debt discount rate. These instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established under
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , because their valuation relies on significant unobservable inputs. See NOTE 5 for a description
of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions.
When a noteholder elects to convert a portion or all of a convertible note into shares of common stock, the Company
accounts for the conversion as follows:
The pro-rata portion of the carrying value
of the host debt instrument, including the related pro-rata unamortized OID and pro-rata unamortized debt issuance costs, is derecognized upon conversion. If the carrying amount of the net host instrument differs from the consideration transferred, the difference is
recognized as a gain or loss on conversion of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50.
The pro-rata portion of the bifurcated
derivative liability attributable to the converted principal is remeasured to fair value as of the conversion date. The change in
fair value from the most recent prior remeasurement date to the conversion date is recognized in earnings as a gain or loss on
change in fair value of derivative liability. Upon conversion of the convertible notes payable, the pro-rata portion of the
remeasured fair value of the derivative liability is then derecognized from the balance sheet with a credit to additional paid-in capital.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair
Value Measurement , which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The host portions of convertible notes
payable, excluding the separately recognized bifurcated derivative liabilities, are carried at amortized cost using the effective
interest method as disclosed in NOTE 5. The bifurcated derivative liabilities associated with the convertible notes are carried at
fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See NOTE 5 for a full description of the
fair value measurement methodology, significant unobservable inputs, and the roll-forward of the derivative liabilities balance.
The vehicle note payable is carried at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of this instrument approximates its
carrying value due to the interest rate approximating current market rates for similar collateralized borrowings.
Income
Taxes
The
Company recognizes current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss carryforwards in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . A valuation
allowance is established when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

NOTE
4 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
Liquidity
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 2.1 million.
As
disclosed in Note 20, subsequent to year end, on January 26, 2026, the Company received
$ 9.6 million in net proceeds from a convertible note payable financing transaction with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”),
representing $ 10.0 million in gross proceeds less approximately $ 0.4 million in banking fees.
As
disclosed in Note 10, the Company is party to a convertible note payable financing arrangement
with Streeterville (the “Streeterville Facility”), which initially provided a maximum facility of up to $ 40,000,000 in gross
borrowings, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The convertible note payable includes limitations that may restrict
additional borrowings, including (i) a limitation on total outstanding indebtedness, (ii) a minimum market capitalization requirement
of $ 100 million,
and (iii) a minimum book value of $ 4 million
at the time of a draw. Availability under this facility is subject to the Company’s ability to satisfy these conditions, or the
investor’s continued practice of extending funds, despite certain conditions not being met.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements
— Going Concern , management evaluated whether conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are available
to be issued.
The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows
from operations since inception and expects to continue to do so as it invests in product development, commercialization, and infrastructure.
These conditions, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management
has developed plans to address these conditions, which include the following:
●
Utilizing
existing cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 2.1 million as of December 31, 2025;

is dependent on satisfying these conditions and on Streeterville’s willingness to continue funding draws.
The Company’s continued existence is
dependent on its ability to continue its operating plan and to access remaining funds under the Securities Purchase Agreement

NOTE
5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value as the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820
establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value:
●
Level
1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
●
Level
2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1
●
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity
The
Company measures its bifurcated derivative liabilities associated with its convertible notes at fair value on a recurring basis, see
NOTE 10. These instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because their valuation relies on significant unobservable
inputs, including expected equity volatility, expected term, and debt discount rates.
The
following table presents the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Derivative
Liabilities
In connection with the convertible notes issued under the Securities Purchase
Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, as described in NOTE 10, the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion feature from each note
and recognized it as a derivative liability under ASC 815. Each derivative liability is initially recognized at fair value on the issuance
date of the respective convertible note and is subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and each conversion date.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of operations.

As
described in NOTE 10, the convertible notes have no stated maturity. The Company estimated an expected term of three years based on the
timing of expected draws from the SPA, the economic structure of the SPA, the conversion mechanics, and its assessment of expected noteholder
conversion behavior. This estimate is reassessed at each remeasurement date.
In the above table, the Company disclosed a range of closing day stock prices, historical volatilities, risk-free
rates, and debt discount rates used as model inputs for conversion calculations, if the note had multiple conversions during the period.
Convertible Note 1 had multiple conversions, which fell on the following dates: August 11, 2025, August 25, 2025, August 29, 2025, September
9, 2025, and September 17, 2025. Convertible Note 2 had one conversion on September 23, 2025.
The
Company estimated expected equity volatility using the historical volatility of a peer group of comparable-stage companies operating
in the autonomous vehicle, robotics, and AI/logistics technology industries, supplemented by the Company’s own limited trading
history.
The
risk-free rate was derived from the continuously compounded yield on U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term approximately equal
to the assumed instrument term, observed as of each measurement date.
The
debt discount rate represents the Company’s estimated cost of non-convertible debt with terms comparable to the convertible notes.
This rate was calibrated using observable market data for similarly situated issuers in the Company’s industry and credit profile,
adjusted for the specific terms of the SPA.
Sensitivity
of Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Because the derivative liabilities are valued using significant unobservable
inputs, their fair value measurements are classified within Level 3. Changes in those inputs can have a material effect on the reported
fair value. The table below describes the directional sensitivity of the derivative liability fair value to changes in the most significant
unobservable inputs, holding all other inputs constant:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Equity
volatility is the most significant unobservable input. The conversion feature has an asymmetric payoff structure (the noteholder benefits
from lower stock prices that produce a lower conversion price under the Lookback Formula, subject to the $0.25 floor), and higher volatility
generally increases the expected value of that optionality. A hypothetical 10 percentage point increase or decrease in assumed volatility,
holding other inputs constant, would result in a directionally significant change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities; however,
the magnitude of such change depends on the then-current stock price relative to the conversion price range and cannot be quantified
without reference to the applicable simulation outputs. Management considers the volatility assumption to be the key source of estimation
uncertainty in the Level 3 measurement.
Expected
term affects the number of simulated conversion opportunities and the present value weighting of simulated payoffs; a longer term increases
the value of the conversion optionality. Debt discount rate affects the discount applied to the simulated payoffs; a higher rate reduces
present value.
The
interrelationship between equity volatility and stock price should also be noted: at lower stock prices, the conversion discount embedded
in the Lookback Formula produces larger absolute payoffs per share for the noteholder, and higher volatility amplifies this effect. The
$0.25 floor price limits downside exposure in scenarios where the stock price falls significantly.

NOTE
7 – LEASES
The Company leases office space and ground robots
under noncancelable operating lease agreements.
Office
Space – Related Party Lease
The
office space is leased from an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder and is therefore
considered a related-party lease. The lease is an operating lease with an initial term of five years commencing on October 1, 2025.
The lease includes an option to renew upon expiration of the initial term; however, renewal periods were not included in the measurement
of the right-of-use asset or lease liability because the Company has determined that exercise of the renewal option is not reasonably
certain at this time.
Under
this lease, the base rent is $ 44,481 per month for the first twelve months, increasing 3 % for each twelve-month period thereafter. The
lease is structured as a triple-net arrangement under which the Company also pays taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance charges
directly. These triple-net lease (“NNN”) costs are variable in nature and are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use
asset or lease liability; they are expensed as incurred. Based on current estimates, NNN costs are approximately $ 9,885 per month. Total
variable lease costs recognized under this arrangement during the year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately $ 29,655 . The estimated
all-in monthly occupancy cost is approximately $ 54,366 . This lease arrangement is also disclosed in NOTE 14.
Ground
Robot Leases
The
Company also leases ground robots used in delivery operations to transport goods between Arrive Point units. These leases have initial
terms of two years commencing on July 31, 2025 . Lease payments are approximately $ 4,200
per month. Total lease costs recognized under this arrangement during the year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately $ 25,200 .
The lease includes renewal options; however, renewal periods were not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets or
lease liabilities because the Company has determined that exercise of the renewal options is not reasonably certain at this
time.
The
ground robot leases and the office space lease have been aggregated in the disclosures below as they share similar remaining terms, discount
rates, and lease structures. Management has evaluated the leases and concluded that separate presentation is not necessary to provide
a meaningful understanding of the Company’s lease obligations.

Rate and Lease Term
As
the Company’s office lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”)
to discount future lease payments. Because the Company has no directly observable secured borrowing rate, the IBR was estimated using
a build-up approach consisting of the applicable U.S. Treasury rate for a borrowing term consistent with the expected lease term as of the lease commencement date, plus a credit risk premium based on
prevailing speculative-grade corporate bond spreads, and adjusted to reflect the collateralized nature of the borrowing as contemplated
by ASC 842.
The
weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for operating leases at December 31, 2025 were 4.65 years and

Overview
of the Purchase Agreement
On
March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC
(“Streeterville”). The SPA closed on May 15, 2025, upon satisfaction of all condition precedents. The SPA provides for a
maximum facility of $ 40,000,000 ,
under which three draws were completed during 2025, resulting in aggregate cash proceeds of $ 11,000,000
and the issuance of convertible notes with an aggregate face amount of $ 11,890,000 .
As of December 31, 2025, the remaining undrawn capacity under the facility is $ 29,000,000 ;
however, any future draws remain subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent set forth in the SPA, and no assurance can be
given that additional draws will be made.
The
convertible notes issued under the SPA bear interest at a rate of 8 % per annum and have no stated maturity date. In the event of a default
under the SPA, the Company will be required to make monthly cash payments until the default is cured or the notes are repaid in full.

Pre-Delivery
Shares
Pursuant
to the SPA, Streeterville purchased 2,937,500 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Delivery Shares”) at par value ($ 0.0002 per
share) in exchange for aggregate consideration of $ 588 . The Pre-Delivery Shares were issued as a condition of and concurrent with the
closing of the SPA on May 15, 2025, and are contractually linked to the financing arrangement.
The
Company has evaluated the Pre-Delivery Shares under ASC 480-10-25 and ASC 505-10-45 and concluded that equity classification is appropriate
on the following basis: (i) the shares represent issued and legally outstanding common stock with full voting rights; (ii) the Company
holds a right, but not an obligation, to repurchase the Pre-Delivery Shares at par value, which is a unilateral call option and does
not, by itself, require liability classification; and (iii) the shares are not mandatorily redeemable and do not embody an unconditional
obligation requiring the Company to transfer assets. Accordingly, the Pre-Delivery Shares are presented within stockholders’ equity
and are included as issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2025.
The
Pre-Delivery Shares are included in the weighted-average shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted loss per share
beginning on May 15, 2025, the date the SPA closed and the shares were issued, consistent with ASC 260-10-45. The Company considered
whether the nominal issuance price and the Company’s repurchase right created any basis to exclude these shares from EPS and concluded
that, because the shares are legally issued and outstanding with no outstanding contingency that would require their return, the Company’s
inclusion is appropriate.
Conversion
Feature and Bifurcation
Pursuant
to ASC 815-40-15 and ASC 815-15-25, a conversion feature that fails the indexed-to-own-stock test must be bifurcated from the host instrument
and accounted for separately as a derivative liability, measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized
in earnings. Accordingly, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature as a derivative liability at the inception of each note.
Note
Issuance Summary
The
three convertible notes issued in 2025 were bifurcated as follows. The initial host carrying value for each note represents the cash
proceeds received, reduced by (i) the original issue discount (“OID”) of approximately 8 %
of the principal proceeds, (ii) the fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities at issuance, (iii) the portion of debt issuance
costs of 6 %
that are allocated to the host debt instrument, as described below, and (iv) the fair value of 62,500
shares of common stock issued by the company as a commitment
fee.
In
connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs equal to 6% of cash proceeds received, totaling
$ 660,000 ($ 240,000 for Convertible Note 1, $ 240,000 for Convertible Note 2, and $ 180,000 for Convertible Note 3). In accordance with
ASC 835.30 and ASC 815, the Company allocates debt issuance costs between the host debt instrument and the bifurcated derivative
liability based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. Specifically,
the fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability as a percentage of total proceeds was used to determine the portion of
issuance costs attributable to the derivative component. Accordingly, $ 311,613 of the total $ 660,000 in issuance costs was allocated
to the derivative components and expensed immediately within the statement of operations, as such costs cannot be deferred against a
liability measured at fair value through earnings under ASC 815-15. The remaining $ 348,387 was recorded as a contra-liability
(direct reduction of the carrying value of the host debt instrument) and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective
interest method over the estimated expected term of three years, consistent with the accretion of the OID and derivative discounts
described below. The resulting discount is accreted to par using the effective interest method over the estimated term of each note.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Although
the notes have no stated maturity date, the Company estimated an expected term of three years for purposes of both the EIM accretion
schedule and the Monte Carlo valuation of the bifurcated derivative. This expected term was determined based on (i) the
Company’s expected timing of draws under the SPA (ii) the economic terms and structure of the SPA, including the conversion
mechanics and the absence of a mandatory redemption date, (iii) the Company’s assessment of the expected conversion behavior
of the noteholder based on the Lookback Formula, and (iv) the provisions of the SPA governing the noteholder’s conversion
rights. The use of an expected term rather than a contractual maturity is consistent with ASC 820-10-35-24C, which requires that
fair value reflect market participant assumptions. Management applied the same three-year expected term in both the EIM accretion
model and the Monte Carlo valuation model based on its estimate of the period over which the notes are expected to remain
outstanding. The three-year assumption will be reassessed each reporting period in connection with the fair value remeasurement of
the derivative liability.

In
assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considers
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to the
future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a valuation allowance.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 15,555,122 , which are allowed for an indefinite
carryforward period but may be subject to limitations. This amount can be used to offset future taxable income of the Company.
The
timing and manner in which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards in any year may be limited by provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership of corporations. Such limitation may have an impact on the ultimate realization of its carryforwards
and future tax deductions.
The
Company follows the guidance under ASC 740, Income Taxes , for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Recognition
involves a determination of whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination with the presumption
that the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company’s
application of the uncertain tax position guidance under ASC 740 did not result in any adjustments to the financial statements.
The
Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the
statement of operations. As of January 1, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no charge during 2025, and accordingly,
the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2025 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There is no accrual for uncertain
tax positions as of December 31, 2025.
The
Company files U.S. income tax returns and Indiana state income tax returns. With few exceptions, the U.S. and state income tax returns
filed for the tax years ended on December 31, 2022 and thereafter are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities.
NOTE
13 - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDITS
The
Company qualifies as a small business under Internal Revenue Code Section 41(h) and has elected to apply a portion of its federal research
and development (R&D) credit against the employer portion of Social Security payroll taxes, in accordance with IRS Form 6765.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 226,010 and $ 206,174 of unused payroll tax credits, respectively. These credits are being
applied as an offset to the Company’s payroll tax liability and are recognized as a reduction of payroll tax expense in the period
the benefit is realized. These begin to expire in 2031.
NOTE
14 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On
May 26, 2020, the Company entered into an initial three-year agreement with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Daniel
O’Toole, for the use of a patent. Beginning June 1, 2020, the Company began paying Mr. O’Toole a monthly license fee of
$ 10,000 .
Once revenue from sales, rentals, and leases begins, the Company is required to pay $ 25.00
per unit sold. If
the Company does not sell 400 units per month (or $10,000), the original fixed $10,000 is paid. Accordingly, for the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded licensing fee costs in the amount of $ 120,000
each period, respectively.

The
Company created the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on April 27, 2023, under which stock options, restricted
stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards became available for
issuance not to exceed 1,500,000 .
On November 6, 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to increase the share pool under the Plan to 7,000,000
shares. The Plan is designed to attract, retain, and motivate key employees. Currently, the fair value is recognized as an expense
over the vesting period of the award. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
Company’s stock at the date of grant, vest over a four-year period, and expire after five or ten years. There are certain
situations that may accelerate the vesting or termination of all outstanding options, such as a change in control. Vesting of RSUs
awarded to employees may be time- or performance-based. As of December 31, 2025, 4,660,840
shares were available for grant under the Plan. The compensation expense related to stock-based awards is included in general and
administrative expenses with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

NOTE
18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The
Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with ASC 450-20, Contingencies — Loss Contingencies . A liability is
accrued when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when
a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, where determinable, an estimate
of the possible loss or range of loss.
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and may be subject
to third-party infringement claims. In the normal course of business, the Company may agree to indemnify third parties with whom it enters
into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain
matters. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
The
Company has agreed, under certain conditions, to hold these third parties harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from
a breach of representations or covenants, other third-party claims that the Company’s products, when used for their intended purposes,
infringe the intellectual property rights of such other third parties, or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible
to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the Company’s limited history
of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim.
On
March 15, 2023, the Company was named as a defendant in CAUSE NO. 29 D05-2303-PL-002478, originally filed in Hamilton County, Indiana
and subsequently moved to Marion County as CAUSE NO. 49 D02-2305-PL-020604. This is an employment action alleging breach of employment
agreement; breach of stock purchase agreement; breach of fiduciary duties and non-payment of salary, bonuses, and benefits. Although
the settlement demand includes unpaid salary and stock awards of approximately $ 29
million, the Company
does not believe a loss is probable, and the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, at this time.
No motions are pending, and depositions are scheduled. No accrual has been recorded as of December 31, 2025.
On
September 9, 2025, John Doan and Jami Town named the Company as a defendant in Case No. 3:2025cv00721, pending in U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Doan and Town claim the Company is in breach of contract for loans made to AirBox. The
loans were extended to AirBox before the Company purchased its assets in 2023. The Company explicitly acquired only the assets of
AirBox and therefore does not believe it is liable for any of its previous liabilities. The Plaintiff’s alleged damages and
fees total $ 45,082 .
The Company has filed for removal from the claim. The plaintiffs have filed to have the case remanded to Virginia state court, where
it was originally filed on August 13, 2025. Since this matter is still in its initial stages, the Company is unable to predict the
outcome at this time. No accrual has been recorded as of December 31, 2025.
On October 2, 2025, the Company was the plaintiff
in a lawsuit Case No. 1:2025cv02026 filed in federal court in the Southern District of Indiana for misappropriation of US federal and
Indiana trade secrets. The defendants are former consultants, Myron Wright, an individual, and Wright Flyer Consulting Group Inc., a
Kentucky corporation. The Company is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, attorney fees and costs as well as permanent injunctive
relief against the defendants requiring the immediate cessation of all transactions utilizing the Company’s Trade Secrets and return
of materials constituting the Trade Secrets. Taft, Stettinius & Hollister, LLP is representing the Company in the matter. Settlement
negotiations are scheduled, and because the Company is the plaintiff in this matter,
no loss contingency has been recorded.

19 - SEGMENT REPORTING
The
Company determines its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting , based on the information reviewed by
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company operates
as a 1 single
reportable segment, as the CODM, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), evaluates the business as a whole and does not receive
discrete financial information for multiple business units. The CODM assesses the Company’s financial performance based on net
loss, as presented in the statements of operations, and uses net loss to evaluate operating results and make resource allocation
decisions.
The
Company has determined that there are no significant segment expense categories or other segment items that are regularly provided to
the CODM and included in the measure of segment profit or loss.

the Purchase Agreement described in NOTE 10.
On January

with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings, and derecognition of both the host carrying value and derivative fair
value attributable to the converted principal. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative at each post-balance sheet conversion date
has not been determined as of the date these financial statements were issued.
On February 3, 2026, the Company issued 118,343 shares

Company failed to meet the MVLS Requirement for a period of 30 consecutive business days from February 10, 2026 to March 30, 2026. The
Notification Letter on MVLS has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Common Stock on Nasdaq and, as of March 31, 2026,
the Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ARAI.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 28, 2026, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.
