Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Remediation of Prior Year Material Weaknesses
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we disclosed the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
●
Tax accounting — deficiencies related to the completeness and technical review of tax accruals and provisions;
● Expense accrual process — deficiencies related
to the completeness and review of month-end expense accruals; and
● Fair value election and embedded derivatives —
deficiencies related to the identification, valuation, classification, and disclosure of embedded derivative features and instruments
for which the fair value option was elected.
57
During the year ended December 31, 2025, management implemented enhanced controls and processes to address each of these material weaknesses, including the engagement of external consultants to support the tax provision process, the implementation of a formalized month-end close checklist, and the development of a revised process for identifying and evaluating new and amended contracts for derivative features and fair value considerations. Based on the steps taken and the testing performed as of December 31, 2025, management has concluded that each of these previously reported material weaknesses has been fully remediated and no longer exists as of December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have not identified any changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with our evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers.
Director Independence
Our board consists of five members. Our directors, other than Mr. Sheikh, are independent directors in accordance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his, her or their family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Classified Board of Directors
Our board is divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms, in accordance with the terms of the Charter. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the directors whose terms then expire will be eligible for reelection until the third annual meeting following reelection. The directors are divided among the three classes as follows:
●
the Class I directors is Di-Ann Eisnor, and her term will expire at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders;
●
the Class II directors are Camillo Martino and Shanti Priya, and their terms will expire at our 2028 annual meeting of stockholders; and
●
the Class III directors are Khurram P. Sheikh and George Mathai, and their terms will expire at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.
The Charter provides that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our board. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our board into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our board or a change in control of us. Our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock then entitled to vote in an election of directors.
61
Board Leadership Structure
Our board does not anticipate implementing a policy requiring the positions of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to be separate or held by the same individual. Any further determination to create such a policy is expected to be based on circumstances existing from time to time, based on criteria that are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, including the composition, skills and experience of our board and its members, specific challenges faced by us or the industry in which it operates, and governance efficiency. We elected Mr. Sheikh as Chairman of the Board because of Mr. Sheikh’s strategic vision for the business, his in-depth knowledge of our operations, and his experience in capital markets make him well qualified to serve as both Chairman of the board and Chief Executive Officer. Combining the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will help provide strong and consistent leadership for the management team and our board. However, our board may decide in the future to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officers if it determines that such structure provides better and more effective oversight and management. If our board convenes for a meeting, it is expected that the non-management directors will meet in one or more executive sessions, if the circumstances warrant it. Our board may also consider appointing a lead independent director if the circumstances warrant it.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process
Our board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, will regularly discuss with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them.

The audit committee reviews information regarding liquidity and operations and oversees our management of financial risks. Periodically, the audit committee reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management, loss prevention and regulatory compliance.

The compensation committee is responsible for assessing whether any of our compensation policies or programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk taking. The nominating and corporate governance committee manages risks associated with the independence of our board, corporate disclosure practices and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board will be regularly informed through committee reports about such risks. Matters of significant strategic risk will be considered by our board as a whole.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance policies, reporting and making recommendations to our board concerning governance matters and oversight of the evaluation of our board.

Board Composition
Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for reviewing with our board, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for our board as a whole and its individual members.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Agreements with Inpixon
CXApp and Inpixon operate separately, each as a public company. In connection with the Separation, Legacy CXApp has entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for CXApp’s relationship with Inpixon after the Separation, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement and a Transition Services Agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between Legacy CXApp and Inpixon of Inpixon’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after Legacy CXApp’s separation from Inpixon and will govern certain relationships between CXApp and Inpixon after the Separation.
The following summaries of each of the agreements listed above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreements which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
On September 25, 2022, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Inpixon, Legacy CXApp, Design Reactor and KINS entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement which sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement identifies assets to be transferred, liabilities to be assumed and contracts to be assigned to each of Inpixon and Legacy CXApp as part of the internal reorganization described therein and requires an Inpixon contribution to be made to Legacy CXApp. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of Legacy CXApp’s relationship with Inpixon following the Business Combination. In connection with the Separation and Distribution Agreement and related ancillary agreements, Legacy CXApp issued additional shares of Legacy CXApp common stock to Inpixon. Inpixon distributed on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of Legacy CXApp common stock to the Inpixon securityholders as of March 6, 2023 by delivering to the distribution agent a book-entry authorization representing the shares of Legacy CXApp common stock being distributed for the account of Inpixon securityholders. The distribution agent held such book-entry shares for the account of Legacy CXApp’s stockholders (as of immediately after consummation of the Distribution) pending the Merger.
On the date of the Distribution, Inpixon distributed on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding shares of Legacy CXApp common stock to the holders of Inpixon common stock and certain other holders of its securities as of March 6, 2023. The Distribution was effected by Inpixon delivering to the distribution agent a book-entry authorization representing the shares of Legacy CXApp common stock being distributed in the Distribution for the account of Inpixon securityholders. The distribution agent held such book-entry shares for the account of Legacy CXApp’s stockholders (as of immediately after consummation of the Distribution) pending the Merger. The shares of Legacy CXApp common stock were not transferrable prior to the exchange of such shares for the shares of KINS common stock pursuant to the Merger.
Employee Matters Agreement
Prior to the Distribution, KINS, Inpixon, Legacy CXApp and Merger Sub entered into the Employee Matters Agreement, which set forth the terms and conditions of certain employee-related matters in connection with the transaction, including allocation of benefit plan assets and liabilities between Inpixon and Legacy CXApp, treatment of incentive equity awards in the Distribution and the Business Combination and related covenants and commitments of the parties.
Tax Matters Agreement
Prior to the Distribution, KINS, Legacy CXApp and Inpixon entered into the Tax Matters Agreement that governs each party’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and certain other matters regarding taxes.
70
In general, KINS and Legacy CXApp are liable for all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes (and any related interest, penalties or audit adjustments) that are (i) imposed with respect to tax returns that include both Legacy CXApp and Inpixon, to the extent such taxes are attributable to Legacy CXApp or the Enterprise Apps Business, or (ii) imposed with respect to tax returns that include Legacy CXApp but not Inpixon, in each case, for tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, KINS and Legacy CXApp may be liable for certain taxes resulting from the restructuring transactions undertaken to effectuate the Distribution.
The Distribution, together with certain related transactions, is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Sections 355 and 368(a) (1)(D) of the Code. If the Distribution does not so qualify, the difference between the fair market value and the tax basis of the Legacy CXApp shares distributed by Inpixon to the Inpixon stockholders will be taxable income to Inpixon.
Even if the contribution and distribution, taken together, otherwise qualify as a transaction described in Sections 355 and 368(a)(1) (D) of the Code, the Distribution is still taxable to Inpixon (but not to Inpixon stockholders) pursuant to Section 355(e) of the Code if one or more persons acquire a 50% or greater interest (measured by vote or value) in the stock of Inpixon or Legacy CXApp, directly or indirectly (including through acquisitions of our stock), as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Distribution. For purposes of this test, the Merger is treated as part of a plan that includes the Distribution, but the Merger standing alone did not cause the Distribution to be taxable to Inpixon under Section 355(e) of the Code because holders of Legacy CXApp common stock own more than 50% of our common stock.
Per the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to exchange up to 1 million shares of KINS Class B common stock for such number of shares of KINS Class A common stock as shall be necessary to ensure that the number of shares of KINS common stock issued as aggregate merger consideration to the holders of Legacy CXApp common stock exceeds 50% by at least one share than the number of shares of KINS common stock owned by all other holders of KINS common stock. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor and related parties have agreed, subject to the limitation set forth therein, to forfeit 22,224 shares of KINS common stock (as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger).
The Tax Matters Agreement requires KINS and Legacy CXApp to comply with the representations made in the materials submitted to RSM US LLP in connection with a distribution tax opinion that Inpixon received regarding the intended tax treatment of the Distribution and certain related transactions.
The Tax Matters Agreement also includes covenants restricting Legacy CXApp’s and KINS’ ability to take or fail to take any action if such action or failure to act could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the intended tax treatment. In particular, in the two years following the Distribution, such restrictive covenants will generally prevent KINS and Legacy CXApp from (i) entering into any transaction which could, when combined with other transactions (including the Merger), result in a 45% or greater change in ownership of KINS’ or Legacy CXApp’s equity as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Distribution, (ii) ceasing the active conduct of certain of Legacy CXApp’s businesses, (iii) voluntarily dissolving or liquidating KINS or Legacy CXApp and (iv) causing, permitting, or agreeing to the sale, transfer, or disposal of assets of Legacy CXApp that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of Legacy CXApp, in each case, unless Legacy CXApp obtains a private letter ruling from the IRS, an unqualified opinion of a nationally recognized tax advisor that such action will not cause a failure of the intended tax treatment, or Inpixon consents to the undertaking of such action. Notwithstanding receipt of such ruling, opinion or consent, in the event that such action causes a failure of the intended tax treatment, KINS and Legacy CXApp could be responsible for all taxes arising therefrom.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
CXApp Inc. and Subsidiaries:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of CXApp Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated statements
of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
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 entity’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 consolidated 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
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures
that are material to the consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
Impairment
Assessment of Goodwill
As
described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually and more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the reporting unit may not be recoverable. The
Company’s goodwill impairment assessment utilizes a weighting of the income and market approach to estimate the reporting unit’s
fair value. The income approach is based on a discounted future cash flow analysis and involves the use of assumptions, including projections
of revenues and expenses, long-term growth rates and estimated discount rates. The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment indicated
that the carrying values of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment
charge of $2,148 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025.
F- 2
We
identified the impairment assessment of goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgment required by management
to develop the fair value measurement of the reporting unit and the valuation methodologies. This required a high degree of auditor judgment
and an increased level of effort when performing audit procedures, including the involvement of professionals with specialized skills
and knowledge.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
● We
compared the significant assumptions of projected revenue growth rates and projected operating
income margins used by management to peer companies while also evaluating the reasonableness
of these peer companies used to develop the fair value estimates of the reporting unit.
● We
assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity
analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting
unit that would result from changes in the assumptions.
● We
tested management’s reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting unit to the market
capitalization of the Company.
● We
recalculated the goodwill impairment charge and evaluated the related goodwill disclosures
included in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
● With
the assistance of our personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in valuation, we (i)
evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used and the weighting assigned
to those methods, (ii) evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate, selected market
multiples, and control premium assumptions used in the valuation, and (iii) evaluated the
reasonableness of management’s reconciliation of the concluded fair value to market
capitalization.
Impairment
Assessment of Acquired Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets
As
described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reviews its acquired intangible assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. These assets are evaluated
together with other long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows
of other assets. The impairment assessment begins with a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated
undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value. The Company
recorded no impairment charges for acquired intangible assets or other long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.
We
identified the impairment assessment of acquired finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets as a critical audit matter
because the analysis required significant judgment by management in estimating the future undiscounted cash flows of the asset group
and in determining certain significant assumptions used in the recoverability analysis. This required a high degree of auditor judgment
and an increased level of effort when performing audit procedures, including the involvement of professionals with specialized skills
and knowledge.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
● We
evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assumptions used in projecting future
cash flows of the related asset group, including projected revenue, operating margins, and
other significant operating assumptions, by comparing them to historical results, approved
forecasts, and relevant industry and economic trends.
● We
tested the completeness and accuracy of the data used in management’s impairment analysis.
● We
evaluated the reasonableness of the expected remaining useful life of the acquired assets
used in the analysis.
● With
the assistance of our personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in valuation, we (i)
assessed the appropriateness of the forecast used in the recoverability analysis by way of
sensitivities performed, and (ii) evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methodology
used, where fair value measurement was required, and in assessing the reasonableness of certain
significant assumptions incorporated into the analysis.
F- 3
Fair
Value Measurement of Convertible Debt
As
described in Notes 2 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company issues convertible debt instruments in the normal course
of business to raise capital. In order to determine the proper accounting for these convertible debt instruments, management evaluated
the relevant guidance and elected the fair value option for the instruments. Under the fair value option election, the convertible debt
is initially measured at its issuance date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis.
The estimated fair value adjustment is presented within change in fair value of derivative liability in the consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive loss.
The
Company measures the convertible debt instruments at fair value at each reporting period. Management estimated the fair value of the
instruments using a probability-weighted valuation model that considered the various contractual settlement outcomes available under
the agreements. The valuation incorporated significant assumptions and inputs including the Company’s stock price, risk-free rate,
expected term, contractual pricing features, expected timing of settlement, ownership-related conversion limitations, the discount rate
used to present value the exchange scenario, and the probability assigned to each scenario.
We
identified the fair value measurement of the convertible debt as a critical audit matter because of complexity and judgment involved
in evaluating the classification and embedded features of the instruments and in applying the accounting framework and the complexity
and judgment made by management in estimating the fair value of the convertible debt under the fair value option. This required a high
degree of auditor judgment and an increased level of effort when performing audit procedures, including the involvement of professionals
with specialized skills and knowledge.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
● We
assessed the accounting for complex financial instruments to evaluate the appropriateness
of management’s application of the authoritative accounting guidance.
● We
tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in the valuation
by comparing it to the debt agreement, share price, and stock register.
● With
the assistance of our personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in valuation, we (i)
assessed the appropriateness of the methodology used in estimating the fair value of the
convertible debt; (ii) evaluated the reasonableness of certain significant assumptions, such
as volatility, discount rate, risk-free rate, expected term, stock price, contractual pricing
provisions such as fixed price, floor price, and variable conversion pricing, expected settlement
outcomes, and share conversion limitations; and (iii) developed a range of independent estimates
and comparing those to the fair value of the convertible debt determined by management.

CXAPP
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 11,101 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $ 13,473 thousand and used approximately $ 10,381 thousand of cash for operating activities. The Company’s recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has implemented plans to address these
conditions, including reductions in discretionary spending, optimization of vendor payment terms, enhanced expense governance, and focused
collection efforts to accelerate customer payments. The Company will also utilize external financing sources, including existing credit
facilities and its at-the-market equity program, where accessible under prevailing market and contractual conditions.
Management’s assessment considers that the
availability of certain financing sources is subject to market conditions including stock price, trading volume, and registration effectiveness.
Additionally, liquidity depends on future cash collections from customers and the timing of operating cash requirements.
Based on these mitigation actions, existing liquidity,
and expected business activity, management believes that these plans, which are within the Company’s control and are expected to
be effectively implemented, alleviate the substantial doubt and concluded that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they
come due for at least twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Avondale Capital, LLC, under which the Company may
issue and sell one or more Pre-Paid Purchase Agreements for up to an aggregate of $20,000 thousand in exchange for shares of its common
stock. The initial Pre-Paid Purchase, in the principal amount of $ 4,200 thousand, closed on April 8, 2025, the Company received net
proceeds of approximately $ 3,990 thousand. A second tranche was received on August 7, 2025, with a principal amount of $ 3,150 thousand
and net proceeds of approximately $ 3,000 thousand. The third tranche of the SPA was issued on October 17, 2025 with the principal amount of $ 5,250 thousand, of which, the Company received
net proceeds of $ 5,000 thousand. The fourth tranche of the SPA was issued on December 30, 2025 with the principal amount of $ 4,200 thousand,
of which, the Company received net proceeds of $ 4,000 thousand. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $ 3,200 thousand remained available
under this agreement.
Additionally, under the SPA with Streeterville Capital, LLC, entered into on May 22, 2024, the Company had access to up to $10,000 thousand in funding. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 3,520 thousand in remaining available funding under this agreement.
F- 9
On August 11, 2025, the Company filed a
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), authorizing the future
offering and sale of up to $150,000 thousand of various securities. Concurrently, the Company filed a prospectus supplement allowing
for the issuance of up to $7,959 thousand of common stock under this registration statement. This amount is included within the total
aggregate offering authorized.
The Company commenced sales
of its common stock pursuant to the shelf registration. These sales were facilitated through a third-party arrangement with Maxim Group
LLC, acting as the Company’s agent under an equity distribution agreement under its At-The-Market (“ATM”) offering program.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $ 648 thousand and issued 782,102 shares of class A Common Stock, which are
intended to be used for general working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:
●
the valuation of stock-based compensation;
●
the valuation of warrant liabilities;
●
the allowance of credit losses;
●
the valuation of convertible debt;
●
the valuation of allowance for deferred tax assets; and
●
impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and trade
receivables. The Company’s cash is placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions, which periodically exceed federally insured
limits. The Company’s cash equivalents are certificates of deposit held by a number of banks limited to $250 thousand per bank with
a duration of 90 days or less. The Company has not realized any losses relating to its cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables.
However, a material loss resulting from the failure of one or more financial institutions, or from a significant default in accounts receivable,
could have a substantial adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position, and operating results. Given the concentration
of these financial instruments, any unexpected credit event could impair the Company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations
and fund ongoing operations.
F- 10
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking accounts, money market accounts, temporary investments and certificates of deposit
with maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash equivalents of approximately $ 10,687 thousand of certificates of deposit held by a number of banks limited to $ 250 thousand per bank with a duration of 90 days or less. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash equivalents of approximately $ 4,353 thousand of certificates of deposit.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses to
ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectability. Allowance for credit losses is maintained for various customers
based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
An additional allowance for credit losses for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability
to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings, or deterioration in such customer’s operating results
or financial position. If circumstances related to a customer change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further
adjusted. The Company has no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The opening balance of accounts receivable as of January 1,
2025 was $ 1,686 thousand. Changes during the year primarily reflected amounts billed to customers and cash collected, resulting in an
ending balance of $ 789 thousand as of December 31, 2025.
Other receivables as presented within “unbilled and other receivables” includes mainly unbilled receivables and sales tax recoverable
from tax authorities. These are recognized when the underlying transaction occurs and reviewed periodically for collectability. As of
December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, sales tax receivables were $ 54 thousand and $ 67
thousand, respectively.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the initial lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life, are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is recognized. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment is not included as part of cost of revenues, but as part of operating expenses.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology, customer lists/relationships, non-compete agreements, intellectual property agreements, export licenses and trade names/trademarks. They are amortized ratably over a range of 5 to 10 years, which approximates customer attrition rate and technology obsolescence. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstances indicates that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the assets. Based on its assessments, the Company did no t incur any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
F- 11
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that it operates as a single reporting unit due to the
integration of all of the Company’s activities. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates
that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative
impairment test by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount.
The Company estimates the
fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approaches. For the income approach, the Company uses internally
developed discounted cash flow models that include assumptions such as projected revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on long-term
growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to support operations; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach,
the Company relies on analyses based primarily on market comparables, including the guideline public company method, guideline transaction
method, and market price method.
The Company completed both
qualitative and quantitative goodwill impairment assessments as of December 31, 2025, and concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill
exceeded its estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $ 2,148 thousand for the year ended
December 31, 2025. Based on the annual goodwill impairment evaluation performed as of November 30, 2024, the Company determined that goodwill
was not impaired and therefore recorded no goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024. The impairment assessment was based
on management’s evaluation of historical operating results, third-party valuation analyses, industry projections, relevant micro-
and macroeconomic conditions, and the Company’s expectations regarding future cash flows. The impairment charge is recorded within
operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases and Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally uses their incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments, because the implicit rate of the lease is generally not known. Right-of-use assets related to the Company’s operating lease liabilities are measured at lease inception based on the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any prepaid lease payments and less any lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms that are used in determining their operating lease liabilities at lease inception may include options to extend or terminate the leases when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company amortizes their right-of-use assets as operating lease expense generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term and classify both the lease amortization and imputed interest as operating expenses. The Company does not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for any lease with an original lease term of less than one year.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Income tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
F- 12
Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company reports comprehensive
income (loss) and its components in its consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency
translation adjustments, affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net loss.
Assets and liabilities related to the Company’s foreign operations are calculated using the Philippine Peso and Canadian Dollar
and are translated at end-of-period exchange rates, while the related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing
during the period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense)
in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company engages in foreign currency denominated transactions with customers that operate
in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Aggregate foreign currency net translation loss was approximately $ 246
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 and gain of $ 301 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Convertible Debt
The Company issued convertible debt in the form of Pre-Paid Purchases during December 2024, March 2025 (Settled in April 2025), August
2025, October 2025 and December 2025 and evaluated such instruments to determine whether they contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Embedded derivatives must be separately
measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation
of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the derivatives. In accounting for the issuance
of the convertible debt, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”).
Under the fair value option election, the convertible debt is initially measured at its issuance date estimated fair value and subsequently
remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis. The estimated fair value adjustment is presented within change in fair value
of derivative liability in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive loss. The Company classifies its convertible debt
that are being valued under the fair value option election as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value
inputs, such as the probability weighting of the various scenarios that can impact settlement of the arrangement. The Company recognized
a gain on the changes in the estimated fair value of the convertible debt of approximately $ 551 thousand
and $ 213 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Debt Issuance Cost
Under the fair value option election, costs directly associated with the borrowing are expensed as incurred.
Note
Conversion
Convertible notes that are exchanged for equity
pursuant to their original contractual terms are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options.
Upon conversion, the carrying amount of the convertible debt is reclassified to equity. No gain or loss is recognized in earnings, as
the conversion is executed under the original terms of the instrument.
If the debt is settled under modified terms,
the transaction is accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”).
In such cases, a gain or loss is recognized equal to the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the
extinguished debt.
Debt Extinguishment
The note exchanges are accounted
for under ASC 470-50 on Modifications and Extinguishments. This standard requires the recognition of a gain or loss on the difference
between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt.
F- 13
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue,
in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), when control is transferred of
the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to
in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from its software as a service for cloud-based software, as well
as design, implementation and other professional services for work performed in conjunction with its cloud-based software, and sale of
hardware. The Company enters into contracts with its customers whereby it grants a non-exclusive cloud-based license for the use of its
proprietary software and for professional services. The contracts may also provide for on-going services for a specified price, which
may include maintenance services, designated support, and enhancements, upgrades and improvements to the software, depending on the contract.
Licenses for cloud software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. All
software provides customers with the same functionality and differs mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the
software.
The
standard introduces a five-step model for revenue recognition that replaces the four criteria for revenue recognition under previous
U.S. GAAP. The five steps are shown below:
1.
Identify the contract with a customer;
2.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3.
Determine the transaction price;
4.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and
5.
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
License Subscription Revenue Recognition (Software As A Service)
With respect to sales of the Company’s license agreements, customers generally pay fixed annual fees in advance in exchange for the Company’s software service provided via electronic means, which are generally recognized ratably over the license term. Some agreements allow the customer to terminate their subscription contracts before the end of the applicable term, and in such cases the customer is generally entitled to a refund pro-rata but only for the elapsed time remaining at the point of termination, which would approximate the deferred revenue at such time. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied over time as the electronic services are provided continuously throughout the service period. The Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.
The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition related to the licensing revenue stream is dependent on whether the software licensing agreement entered into represents a service. Software that relies on an entity’s IP and is delivered only through a hosting arrangement, where the customer cannot take possession of the software, is a service. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software.
Renewals or extensions of licenses are evaluated as distinct licenses and revenue attributed to the distinct service is not recognized until: (1) the entity provides the distinct license (or makes the license available) to the customer and (2) the customer is able to use and benefit from the distinct license. Renewal contracts are not combined with original contracts, and, as a result, the renewal right is evaluated in the same manner as all other additional rights granted after the initial contract. The revenue is not recognized until the customer can begin to use and benefit from the license, which is typically at the beginning of the license renewal period. The Company recognizes revenue resulting from renewal of licensed software over time.
F- 14
Professional Services Revenue Recognition
The Company provides integration and software customization professional services to its customers.
Professional services under milestone contracts are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in the statement of operations in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and in some cases on a time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts provided by in house personnel, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known.
For the years ended December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors.
Hardware Revenue Recognition
For sales of hardware, the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled when the products are shipped to the customer, transferring title and ownership risks. Deliveries occur via drop-shipment by a third-party vendor and the Company leverages drop-ship arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouse. The Company negotiates sale prices, pays suppliers directly, manages credit risk, and ensures product acceptability, acting as the principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis. Customers typically pay within 30 to 60 days of invoice receipt. The Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs of obtaining a contract when they are incurred because the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is less than a year.
Contract Balances
The timing of the Company's
revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to and payment by its customers. The Company records an unbilled receivable
when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when invoicing a customer
precedes the Company providing of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

F- 15
The
Company had deferred revenue of approximately $ 1,465 thousand and $ 2,683 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively,
related to customer invoices rendered in advance for software licenses and professional services provided by the Company's technical
staff. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for the deferred revenue associated with professional services,
and recognize the deferred revenue related to licenses generally over the remaining contract term which is generally twelve months following
the commencement of the license.
The
Company recognized revenue in the reporting period of $ 2,558 thousand and $ 2,606 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company recognizes eligible sales commissions as an asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets as the commissions are an incremental cost of obtaining a contract with the customer and the Company expects to recover these costs. The capitalized costs are amortized over the expected contract term.
Cost to Fulfill a Contract
The Company incurs costs to fulfill their obligations under a contract once it has obtained the contract. These costs are generally not significant and are recorded to expense as incurred.
Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company enters into contracts with customers for its technology that include multiple performance obligations. Each distinct performance obligation was determined by whether the customer could benefit from the good or service on its own or together with readily available resources. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company’s process for determining standalone selling price considers multiple factors including the Company’s internal pricing model and market trends that may vary depending upon the facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation.
Sales and Use Taxes
The Company presents transactional taxes such as sales and use tax collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred as part of cost of revenues. These costs were deemed to be de minimis during each of the reporting periods.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed when incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel and related headcount costs, costs of professional services associated with the ongoing development of the Company’s technology, and allocated overhead.
F- 16
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are included as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.
Segments
The
Company and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), acting as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determines
its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a
reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating segment to determine
if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meet the definition
of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable,
when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically
similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has one operating segment and reporting unit. The Company is organized
and operated as one business. Management reviews its business as a single operating segment, using financial and other information rendered
meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost
of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the
award. The Company has issued stock-based compensation awards in the form of options and restricted stock units. The grant date fair value
is recognized over the requisite service period during which an employee and non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award.
The grant date fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the average of the high and low stock prices at the grant date for awards under the CXApp Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based upon the observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity instruments. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term.
The grant date fair value for restricted stock units is valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants
as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an evaluation of the warrant terms and the applicable guidance
in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments, whether they meet the definition of
a liability under ASC 480, and whether they meet all requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants
are indexed to the Company’s own common stock. This evaluation, which requires the use of professional judgment, is performed at
issuance and at each subsequent reporting date while the warrants remain outstanding.
F- 17
The Company currently has
two classes of warrants outstanding, the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants, both of which are classified as liabilities.
Warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification are recorded as warrant liabilities at their initial fair value
on the issuance date and are remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations as a non-cash gain or loss. The Company uses the quoted market price of the Public Warrants as the fair value
for both warrant classes at each reporting date, and therefore classifies the warrant liabilities as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy
due to the absence of observable market inputs specific to the Private Placement Warrants.
For the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of approximately $ 3,997 thousand and a non-cash loss of approximately $ 3,365
thousand, respectively, related to changes in the estimated fair value of its warrant liabilities.
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes basic
and diluted earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share are similarly calculated with the inclusion of dilutive common stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024, basic and dilutive net loss per common share were the same since the inclusion of common shares issuable pursuant
to the exercise of options, warrants, and vesting of restricted units in the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares would have
been anti-dilutive.
The following table summarizes
the number of common shares and common share equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share for the years
ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”), provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. The Company follows this authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
●
Level
1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level
2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
●
Level
3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted
cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant
judgment or estimation.
Fair value measurements discussed
herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The fair value of the warrants has
been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the
Company recognized an unrealized gain in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of $ 3,997 thousand. For the
year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss of $ 3,365 thousand, which are presented as changes in fair value of derivative liability.

The Company accounts for its public and private warrants as a derivative liability initially measured at its fair values and remeasured
in the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. When the warrants are exercised, the corresponding derivative
liability is de-recognized at the underlying fair value of the Class A Common Stock that is issued to the warrant holder less any cash
paid in accordance with the warrant agreement. Upon either cash or cashless exercise, the de-recognized derivative liability results in
an increase in additional paid in capital equal to the difference between the fair value of the underlying Class A Common Stock and its
par value. A cashless exercise results in the warrant holder surrendering Class A Common Stock equal to the stated warrant exercise price
based on the contractual terms in the warrant agreement that governs the cashless conversion.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled and other receivables and accounts payable. The Company determines the estimated fair value of such financial instruments presented in the financial statements is equal to its carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Carrying Value, Recoverability and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”) for its long-lived assets. Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-17, an impairment loss shall be recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (asset group). That assessment shall be based on the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss shall be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-20, if an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset shall be its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis shall be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is prohibited.
Pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-21, the Company’s
long-lived asset (asset group) is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount
may not be recoverable. The Company considers the following to be some examples of such events or changes in circumstances that may trigger
an impairment review: (a) significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); (b) a significant adverse change
in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; (c) a significant adverse
change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse
action or assessment by a regulator; (d) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition
or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); (e) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating
or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset
group); and (f) a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset (asset group) will be sold or otherwise disposed
of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company tests its long-lived assets for potential impairment
indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
Based on its assessments, the Company recorded no impairment charges on long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
The Company adopted ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, as of January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis (with optional retrospective
application for certain elements). This ASU requires enhanced disaggregation in the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid by jurisdiction,
and related pretax income/tax expense information. Adoption resulted in expanded disclosures in Note 13 – Income Taxes
but had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In March 2024, the FASB issued
ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements,” which amends the Codification
to remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements and impacts a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to
all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous
and are not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant
accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance either retrospectively to the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented or prospectively to all new or modified transactions recognized on or after the date of adoption. We adopted this guidance
as of January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidation financial statements.
F- 22
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not
Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. The amendment requires more detailed information about
specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in
certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may
be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively
to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2024-04 “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)”. The amendment requires companies
to apply a preexisting contract approach. Under this approach, a settlement qualifies for induced conversion accounting if the inducement
offer preserves the form of consideration and results in an amount of consideration that is no less than that issuable pursuant to the
preexisting conversion privileges. The ASU is effective for all entities in annual and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2025. Early adoption permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The amendments may be
applied either (1) prospectively to any settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur after the effective date of this ASU or
(2) retrospectively to all prior periods that occurred after the adoption of the amendments in ASU 2020-06. We are currently evaluating
the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued
ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,
which provides a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets
arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The practical expedient allows companies to assume the current conditions as
of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when measuring credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2025-05
are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption
is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB
issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting
for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to current development practices, clarifies when
to begin capitalizing costs, and enhances disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred of the promised products or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. The Company derives revenue from software as a service, design and implementation services for its enterprise apps solutions systems, professional services for work performed in conjunction with its systems, and sale of hardware.

Professional services are also contracted on the fixed fee and time and materials basis. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company has generally elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date.
(2)
Software As a Service Subscription Revenue’s performance obligation is satisfied evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous access to its service and service is recognized over time.

NOTE 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
Goodwill is tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company
operates as one reporting unit for purposes of assessing goodwill. The carrying amount of goodwill was $ 8,737 thousand as of both December
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company identified indicators of potential impairment, including
a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, macroeconomic conditions, decline in share price and continued operating losses.
These indicators required the Company to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2025.
The Company estimated the
fair value of the reporting unit using a weighted average of an income approach and market approach. Under the income approach, the Company
prepared a discounted cash flow model (DCF) that incorporated updated revenue growth expectations, projected operating margins, long‑term
cash flow forecasts, and a discount rate of approximately 40% reflecting the Company’s risk profile and market conditions. This
approach was assigned lower weighting due to limited comparability and volatility in market‑based multiples. After weighting the approaches,
the Company determined that the estimated equity fair value of the reporting unit was approximately $13,964 thousand compared to a carrying
amount of $16,112 thousand, resulting in a shortfall of $2,148 thousand. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge
of $ 2,148 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025. No goodwill impairment was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. Following
recognition of the impairment charge, goodwill totaled $ 6,589 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and $ 8,737 thousand as of December 31,
2024.
The Company evaluated and
determined that changes in certain valuation inputs could have materially affected the impairment outcome. A one to two percentage point
increase in the discount rate or a reduction of approximately five to ten percent in projected cash flows would have resulted in additional
impairment as of the testing date. Future changes in macroeconomic conditions, discount rate assumptions or forecasted cash flows could
result in further impairment of goodwill.

On December 15, 2023, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Lender an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in an aggregate initial principal amount of $ 3,885 thousand, which is payable on or before the date that is 12 months from the issuance date. The initial principal amount included an original issue discount of $ 870 thousand and $ 15 thousand that we agreed to pay to the Lender to cover the Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs. The net proceeds of the Note are $ 3,000 thousand.
Interest on the Note accrued at a rate of 10 % per annum and is payable on the maturity date.
A monitoring fee of 10% of the outstanding balance was to be charged starting six (6) months from the issuance of the Note to cover Lender’s accounting, legal and other costs incurred in monitoring. The foregoing fee shall automatically be added to the outstanding balance on the applicable date without any further action by either party.
The Lender had the right to redeem up to an aggregate of 1/6th of the initial principal balance of the Note plus any interest accrued thereunder each month by providing written notice delivered to us; provided, however, that if the Lender does not exercise any monthly redemption amount in its corresponding month then such monthly redemption amount shall be available for the Lender to redeem in any further month in addition to such future month’s monthly redemption amount.
Upon receipt of any monthly redemption notice, we shall pay the applicable monthly redemption amount in cash to the Lender within five (5) business days of the Company’s receipt of such monthly redemption notice.
The Note included customary event of default provisions, subject to certain cure periods, and provides for a default interest rate of 22%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest would accrue on the outstanding balance beginning on the date the applicable event of default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
Note Exchanges
During the period from July 15, 2024, to December 26, 2024, the Company exchanged $ 3,428 thousand of the outstanding balance of the Note for approximately 2,012,107 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at exchange prices between $ 1.47 and $ 2.23 per share.
The Company analyzed the exchange of principal under the note as an extinguishment and compared the net carrying value of the debt being extinguished to the reacquisition price (shares of common stock being issued) and recorded an approximately $ 1,052 thousand loss on the exchange of debt for equity as a separate item in the other income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of January 17, 2025, the Company paid down the entire December 2023 Note.

At the special meeting held on March 10, 2023, the KINS stockholders considered and approved, among other things, the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan was previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by KINS’ board of directors. The Incentive Plan became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination.

As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers of approximately $ 16,418 thousand and $ 12,266
thousand respectively.
Under
the CARES Act, the federal net operating loss carryforwards that originated after 2017 will have an indefinite life and may be used to
offset 100% of a future year’s taxable income until 2020. For tax year beginning January 1, 2021, federal net operating losses
may be used to offset 80% of a future year’s taxable income. The state net operating losses carryforward for between 15-20 years
and begin to expire in 2039.
The
Company’s federal and state income tax returns prior to December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are closed. The Company’s
foreign subsidiary’s tax returns prior to 2018 are also closed. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations,
audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realization of 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 temporary differences
representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Deferred income tax is presented under noncurrent liabilities and in other
assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025, and 2024.
In
assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all
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 temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management
considers the projected future taxable income and availability of taxable temporary differences in making this assessment. After consideration
of all the information available, management believes that positive evidence does not outweighs the negative evidence and thus it is
more likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax asset may not be realized in foreseeable future. In view of this, valuation allowance
has been created as at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The
Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and
penalties as interest expense and as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Management does not expect any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits
in the next year.

The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions as well as in foreign jurisdictions
and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.
The
Company recorded an income tax benefit/expense of approximately $ 46 thousand and $ 635 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The
effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 0.34 % and 3.17 % , respectively. The income tax benefit
for the year ended December 31, 2025 is a result of the reversal of deferred tax liability attributable to acquired intangible assets
from the Business Combination. The company believes that positive evidence does not outweighs the negative evidence and thus it is more
likely than not that the benefit from deferred tax asset may not be realized in foreseeable future. In view of this, valuation allowance
has been created as of December 31, 2025.
Uncertain
Tax Positions
The
Company records tax positions as liabilities and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes because of the evaluation of new
information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in
a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the recognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences
will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December
31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 the Company has no t recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial
statements.
The
Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded on the balance sheets, and the Company has not recorded any related
expenses. The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course
of business, the Company is subject to examinations by federal, foreign, and state and local jurisdictions, where applicable. There are
currently no pending tax examinations. The Company’s tax years currently open under statute range from 2021 to the present in the
U.S. and from 2020 to the present in its foreign operations. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years
in which those attributes were generated may remain subject to adjustment upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state and
local tax authorities, and non-U.S. tax authorities—including those in Canada and the Philippines—if and when the attributes
are utilized in a future period.
F- 37
Following
the acquisition, the Company transitioned its Canadian operations from a client-facing business to a cost center. A formal transfer pricing
study between the U.S. and Canada has not been performed, and as such, there may be a potential for a Canadian tax liability. However,
based on currently available information, management believes that any such liability would not be material to the financial statements
as a whole
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”)
was enacted into law. Among its provisions, the reinstatement of full expensing for research and development expenditures is applicable
to the Company. While further regulatory guidance is anticipated regarding the treatment of prior periods, the Company expects that the
previously recognized deferred tax asset related to Section 174 will be reversed, resulting in an increase in net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company is currently evaluating potential other impacts of the passage of OBBB.
NOTE 14 – Credit Risk and Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for credit losses and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.
The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Cash is also maintained at foreign financial institutions for its Canadian and Philippine subsidiaries. Cash in foreign financial institutions as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $ 51 thousand and $ 166 thousand, respectively.
The Company has not experienced
any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash for the Years ended December 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024. However, any loss incurred or lack of access to such funds could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
NOTE 15 – Segment Information
The Company has determined that it operates as a single operating segment. The Company offers a vertical software-as-a-service (or SaaS) platform for the enterprise. The flagship product, the CXAI Platform (pronounced “Sky”), provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to empower employees and enable organizations to create smarter workplaces. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM allocates resources and makes operating decisions based on consolidated net income.
The CODM does not assess
profitability at a level below the consolidated entity. Net income (loss) is used as the Company’s primary measure of overall financial
performance. However, when evaluating operating results on a budget-to-actual basis, management places greater emphasis on cash-based
operating expenses, including cost of revenue, professional services, marketing, research and development, and general and administrative
expenses. Conversely, the Company does not consider stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, changes in the fair
value of warrant liabilities, losses on debt extinguishment, or other non-cash items to be significant factors in its internal analysis
of period-over-period operating performance.

NOTE 17 – Leases
The Company has operating
leases for administrative offices in Canada, the Philippines, and the United States. The lease for the Company’s office in Manila,
Philippines expired in May 2025. The Company elected not to renew the lease and has since entered into a new lease agreement within
Philippines at a lower cost. The Canada lease expires in May 2026, the Philippines lease expires in June 9, 2027, and the United
States office lease expires in April 2026. The Company has no other operating or financing leases with terms greater than 12 months.
Lease expense for operating leases recorded on the
consolidated balance sheet is based on the future minimum lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease
plus any variable lease costs. Operating lease expenses, inclusive of short-term and variable lease expenses, recognized in the Company’s
consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately $ 422
thousand, and $ 439
thousand, respectively.
Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption of ASC 842 “Leases” (“ASC 842”). As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term is 0.7 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liabilities was 8.0 % . As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term is 1.1 years, and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liabilities was 8.0 % .

NOTE 18 – Commitments and Contingencies
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political
circumstances in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including trade tensions between
the United States and China, the conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and other uncertainties regarding actual
and potential shifts in the United States and foreign, trade, economic, tariffs, and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts,
security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics) maycontribute
to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. In response to the conflict
between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia.
The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East (including the conflict between Iran and Israel and the United States’ military actions
against Iran) has caused political, economic, and military instability in Israel and surrounding regions. Any of the above factors, including
sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and
the value of the Company’s securities.
Management continues to evaluate
the impact of these types of risks and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these risks and uncertainties could have
a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific
impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 20 – Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and
transactions that occurred after December 31, 2025, through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based
upon this review, the Company identified the following subsequent events:
The
Company commenced sales of its common stock pursuant to the shelf registration, facilitated through a third-party arrangement with
Maxim Group LLC acting as the Company’s agent under an equity distribution agreement. The Company received net proceeds of
$ 2,300
thousand and issued 7,458,991 shares
of class A Common Stock, which are intended to be used for general working capital and other corporate purposes.
Following the year ended
December 31, 2025, the Company converted a portion of its outstanding Avondale Prepaid Purchase #1 and Prepaid Purchase #2 Convertible
Notes into Class A common stock. These conversions were part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce debt and strengthen its
equity structure.
F- 41
As the transactions occurred after the reporting
date, they are classified as non-recognized subsequent events. In total, the Company issued approximately 8,600,948
shares of Class A common stock in connection with these conversions.
In
February 2026, the Company settled a legal matter that originated prior to December 31, 2025 for approximately $ 65,000 . Because the underlying
claim existed at year-end, the Company recorded the related accrual in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2025.
On February 5, 2026, the Company
announced a strategic partnership with TouchSource, a leading provider of digital directories and interactive experiences for commercial
real estate, healthcare, and retail properties. Under the partnership, the Company's agentic AI and workplace intelligence platform will
serve as the intelligence layer across TouchSource's nationwide digital directory network, which spans more than 11,000 deployments across
U.S. commercial office, healthcare, retail, and mixed-use properties. The collaboration will focus on coordinated go-to-market efforts
and product strategy, exploring how agentic AI can be embedded into workplace platforms, digital directories, and spatial interfaces to
support modern enterprise operations and multi-tenant real estate environments.
On
March 27, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Avondale Capital, LLC, pursuant to which the
Company may issue and sell one or more Pre-Paid Purchases, in the aggregate purchase amount of up to $40,000,000, for the purchase
of the Company’s Common Stock and the Company issued an unsecured convertible Pre-Paid Purchase #1 to the Lender. The
convertible Pre-Paid Purchase #1 has the original principal amount of $ 1,050,000 .
