CID Holdco, Inc. 10-Q

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements of SEE ID as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the audited financial statements of SUAC as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 each included in the in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 26, 2025 . In addition to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs, and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Overview CID Holdco, Inc. (the “Company”, “CID” or “CID Holdco”), formerly known as SEE ID Inc, dba Dot AI (the “Legacy Company” or “SEE ID”), was incorporated in Delaware with the headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada. CID helps businesses digitally transform their operations using IoT and AI technology. With significant innovations in radio frequency networking, use of vision system overlays and a cloud-based AI engine, the Company offers a differentiated asset tracking and workflow management solutions for industrial enterprises. Through its technological solutions, CID serves multiple industries including aviation, construction, delivery, military, mining, retail, seaports, medical logistics, warehousing and manufacturing. We are headquartered in Las Vegas, NV with our management and administrative staff located in Bethesda, MD for East Coast customer engagements and government lobbying activity. We also manufacture hardware in Puerto Rico through our wholly owned subsidiary Dot Works. Our embedded development team and Design for Manufacturing (“DFM”) capability is built around our CTO in Worcester, MA and our core software team is in Bangalore, India. Throughout the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted or otherwise suggested by context, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” refers to the Legacy Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Company after the consummation of the Business Combination. Business Combination On June 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”) the Company consummated the Business Combination transactions by and among the Company, ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp (“SUAC” or “ShoulderUp”), ShoulderUp Merger Sub, Inc., SEI Merger Sub, Inc., and SEE ID, Inc. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ShoulderUp Merger Sub merged with and into SUAC (the “ShoulderUp Merger”), with SUAC surviving the ShoulderUp Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SUAC Surviving Company”); and (ii) simultaneously with the ShoulderUp Merger, SEI Merger Sub merged with and into SEE ID (“the SEE ID Merger”), with SEE ID surviving the SEE ID Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Company”) (the ShoulderUp Merger and the SEE ID Merger, together the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, CID Holdco filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-282600) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On June 18, 2025, the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC. At Closing, the assets and liabilities of Legacy Company were combined with the assets and liabilities ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp on a historical cost basis. All Legacy Company common stock was exchanged for common stock of the Company based upon the exchange ratio as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as Aggregate Merger Consideration (13,000,000 CID Holdco shares) divided by the Company Fully Diluted Common Stock (159,915,641) or 8.129% Stock options of Legacy Company were not exercised and remain outstanding after giving into effect the exchange ratio. In connection with the Business Combination, we incurred transaction costs, settled certain SUAC related party notes through the issuance of common shares, converted SAFE notes into common stock of the Company, and raised cash proceeds from PIPE investors. Additional information regarding the Business Combination and Reverse Recapitalization is provided in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. - 23 - Factors Affecting Our Performance Acquiring New Customers We believe that we have a substantial opportunity to grow our customer base. We intend to drive new customers by continuing to invest significantly in sales and marketing to engage our prospective customers, increase brand awareness, and drive adoption of our Dot Cloud platform. Our ability to attract new customers depends on a number of factors, including the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, macroeconomic factors and their impact on our customers’ businesses, and the success of our efforts to expand internationally. Expanding Within Our Existing Customer Base We believe that there is a significant opportunity to expand sales to existing customers following their initial adoption of our Dot Cloud. We will expand our customer base by selling more applications and expanding use of existing applications across geographies and divisions. Our ability to expand within our customer base will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction, pricing, competition, macroeconomic factors, and changes in our customers’ spending levels. While there are many factors involved in this expansion, the Customer Success department will be the key internal driver to retention and expansion of customer revenue. At this juncture, it is not a significant part of our operational expense but will be built out as our bookings increase and our channel support requirements come online. Investments in Innovation and Future Growth Our market leadership is supported by continuous innovation in our Dot Cloud, our inventions in IoT data collection and our advances in applying AI to our customer problem sets. We will continuously invest in adding new applications and methods to our solutions. As such, spending on research and development will always be an important part of our strategy. However, the driving force that will fuel our company is market growth. Our recent pivot to move most of our spending to Sales and Marketing shows a commitment to our go-to-market strategy. We recognize the need to increase adoption and expand brand awareness as we increase market share. This fiscal year is a critical period to add productive resources to ensure success is sustained. Adding additional compliance and oversight resources as we grow, and especially as we adapt to operating as a public entity, is a natural and essential step. In addition, our small operations team will continue to grow as the demand increases from our maturing sales pipeline. Components of Results of Operations Revenue We will provide access to our Dot Cloud through subscription arrangements, where the customer is charged a per-subscription fee for access for a specified term. Subscription agreements will contain multiple service elements for one or more of our cloud-based Applications via mobile app(s) or a website that enables data collection and provides access to the cellular network, IoT devices (which we also refer to as connected devices), and support services delivered over the term of the arrangement. Our subscription contracts will typically have an initial term of three to five years and are generally non-cancellable and non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions under our standard terms of service and other exceptions for public sector customers, who are often subject to annual budget appropriations cycles. Our Connected Dot Cloud and IoT devices are highly integrated with the subscription service and together will represent a single performance obligation. Revenues attributable to this combined performance obligation are recognized over time as the services are delivered. - 24 - We also provide professional services including onboarding (implementation) services, marketing services, and product consulting. These services were evaluated to be distinct and are treated as separate performance obligations from the subscription services. Revenue related to these services are recognized over time as services are performed. Currently, revenues are primarily related to the delivery of feasibility study reports to customers seeking to gain insight into how data driven tracking could improve their business, which is recognized upon acceptance of the feasibility report. Allocation of Overhead Costs Overhead costs that are not substantially dedicated for use by a specific functional group are allocated based on headcount. Such costs include costs associated with office facilities, depreciation of property and equipment, IT and security expenses, and other expenses, such as corporate software, subscription services, and insurance. Manufacturing overheads are allocated to production based on volume. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold will consists primarily of cellular-related costs, third-party cloud infrastructure expenses, customer support costs, warranty charges, employee-related costs directly associated with our customer support and operations, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, amortization of internal-use software development, certain cloud computing implementation costs, expenses related to shipping and handling, packaging, fulfillment, warehousing, write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory, and allocated overhead costs. As our customers expand and increase, the use of our Dot Cloud driven by additional IoT devices and Applications, our cost of revenue may vary from quarter to quarter as a percentage of our revenue due to the timing and extent of these expenses. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our Dot Cloud and customer support and operations personnel as we grow our business. The level and timing of investment in these areas will affect our cost of revenue in the future. Operating Expenses Research and development Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, depreciation and other expenses related to prototyping IoT devices, product initiatives, software subscriptions, hosting used in research and development, and allocated overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on adding new features and products and enhancing the utility of our Dot Cloud. We capitalize the portion of our internal-use software development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization. We expect our research and development expenses to generally increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in research and development efforts to enhance our Dot Cloud. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses. - 25 - Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, and sales commissions. Sales and marketing expenses also include expenditures related to advertising, media, marketing, promotional costs, free trial expenses, brand awareness activities, business development, corporate partnerships, travel, conferences and events, professional services, and allocated overhead costs. We also have a heavy reliance on contracted services in these areas which are reflected in the department spend. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our customer base and increase our brand awareness. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses. General and administrative General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, facilities, and certain IT personnel, including salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation, professional fees for external legal, accounting, recruiting and other consulting services, credit losses, allocated overhead costs, and unallocated lease costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future to support our growth and because of additional costs associated with legal, accounting, compliance, insurance, investor relations, and other areas associated with being a public company. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses. Interest expense Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred for our short term bridge loans. Change in fair value of SAFE agreements The change in the fair value of SAFE agreements represents the unrealized gains or losses resulting from the fluctuations in the estimated fair value of the outstanding SAFE agreements, or reevaluation of updated market conditions and company-specific factors. Transaction costs The Company accounts for transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination that occurred in June 2025, and therefore transaction costs expensed were not a component of our results of operations during 2024. Costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of equity instruments, such as legal, accounting, and advisory fees related to the merger and recapitalization, are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. All other transaction costs have been expensed as incurred. Loss from extinguishment of debt Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, one lender elected to convert a portion of its outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock. In connection with the bridge loan conversion, the Company derecognized the liability, issued shares of Common Stock and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment, based on the fair value of the Common Stock at the date of Closing. Results of Operations Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 - 26 - Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin Our total revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit, and gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Revenue $ 126,833 $ 23,442 $ 103,391 441.1 % Cost of goods sold 67,194 6,442 60,752 943.1 % Gross (loss) profit $ 59,639 $ 17,000 $ 42,639 250.8 % Gross margin % 47.0 % 72.5 % (25.5 )% (35.2 )% For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change Change Revenue $ 479,331 $ 101,995 $ 377,336 370.0 % Cost of goods sold 84,272 10,009 74,263 742.0 % Gross (loss) profit $ 395,059 $ 91,986 $ 303,073 329.5 % Gross margin % 82.4 % 90.2 % (7.8 )% (8.6 )% Revenue increased by $103,391, or 441.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $377,336, or 370.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase in feasibility studies to new and existing customers. Cost of goods sold increased by $60,752, or 943.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of goods sold increased $74,263 or 742.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases are primarily due to additional warehouse expenditure related to the new Puerto Rico lease and increased tariffs on imported raw materials. Our gross margin was 47.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 72.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 82.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 90.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to additional warehouse expenditure related to the new Puerto Rico lease and increased tariffs on imported raw materials. - 27 - Research and Development Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Research and development $ 181,641 $ 152,467 $ 29,174 19.1 % Percentage of revenue 143.2 % 650.4 % For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Research and development $ 575,505 $ 273,313 $ 302,192 110.6 % Percentage of revenue 120.1 % 268.0 % Research and development expense increased by $29,174, or 19.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and by $302,192, or 110.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our spending for research and development reflects growing capacity to satisfy customer feature requests and investing in our technology roadmap. The increases are primarily driven by onboarding of additional software and hardware development contractors. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is summarized as follows: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Sales and marketing $ 770,247 $ 730,620 $ 39,627 5.4 % Percentage of revenue 607.3 % 3,116.7 % For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Sales and marketing $ 1,452,996 $ 1,124,586 328,410 29.2 % Percentage of revenue 303.1 % 1,102.6 % Sales and marketing expense increased by $39,627, or 5.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and by $328,410 or 29.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our spending for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects our continued pivot towards the market, with sales and marketing spending increasing by $328,410 or 29.2% year over year. We expect to increase this further in the following quarter to take advantage of additional public investment to build this department to drive growth. The increases are primarily driven by the usage of additional modules and users in the customer relationship management software. Customer support labor cost also contributed to the increases. - 28 - General and Administrative General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is summarized as follows: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change General and administrative $ 824,204 $ 246,216 $ 577,988 234.7 % Percentage of revenue 649.8 % 1,050.3 % For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change General and administrative $ 1,441,935 $ 557,575 $ 884,360 158.6 % Percentage of revenue 300.8 % 546.7 % General and administrative expense increased by $577,988, or 234.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased by $884,360, or 158.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases are primarily due to labor cost pertaining to ramp up of the manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico, shipment of hardware, equipment and inventories between our manufacturing and testing facilities, and increased headcount in back office. Other expenses – SAFE agreements The tables below summarize the change in the fair value of SAFE agreements and the SAFE agreements activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Change in fair value of SAFE notes $ (17,980,118 ) $ (660,755 ) $ (17,319,363 ) 2,621 % For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 $ Change % Change Change in fair value of SAFE notes $ (17,368,415 ) $ (13,462,710 ) $ (3,905,705 ) 29 % For the three months ended June 30, For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 SAFE agreements at fair value, beginning of period $ 22,746,675 $ 18,904,905 $ 23,334,626 $ 4,602,950 SAFE agreements issued for cash - 1,634,500 23,752 3,134,500 Change in fair value 17,980,118 660,755 17,368,415 13,462,710 SAFE notes converted into shares (40,726,793 ) - (40,726,793 ) - SAFE agreements at fair value, end of period $ - $ 21,200,160 $ - $ 21,200,160 The decrease in the balance of SAFE agreements was primarily driven by an increased estimated fair value of the Company and an increased probability of the Business Combination that closed on June 18, 2025, as described in Note 4, qualified as an “Equity Financing” under the terms of the Company’s SAFE agreements. As a result, all outstanding SAFE notes were converted into 2,909,057 shares of Common Stock. The Company recognized a fair value change in the SAFE notes of $17,368,415, based on the fair value of the Common Stock at Closing of $14.00 per share. Accordingly, no SAFE notes remained outstanding as of June 30, 2025. - 29 - Liquidity and Capital Resources Funding Requirements and Going Concern Liquidity is a measure of our ability to access sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of our business operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of common shares to PIPE investors contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our growth, our ability to attract and retain customers, the continued market acceptance of our solution, the timing and extent of spending necessary to support our efforts to develop our Dot Cloud and meet our performance obligations related to subscription sales of the same, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on us and our customers’ and partners’ businesses. Further, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services, and technologies. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to finance our operations and expand our business. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management anticipates the Company will continue to incur substantial operating losses for the next several years and will need to obtain additional near-term financing in order to continue its research and development activities. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund research and development activities and meet obligations on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to allow us to successfully continue our research and development activities and commercialize our products. If the Company is unable to obtain necessary funds through its business operations and the proceeds realized through the business combination, significant reductions in spending and the delay or cancellation of planned activities may be necessary. These actions would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and prospects. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of $6,492,646 and $721,032, respectively, and working capital (deficit) of $454,040 and ($1,215,988), respectively. - 30 - Sources of Liquidity To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of common shares to PIPE investors contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination in the amount of $10,837,643 and proceeds from the issuance of bridge loans. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $6,492,646. In the future, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity, debt financings, and improvement of cash from operations derived from selling subscriptions to our platform. As part of its funding efforts, on June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with New Circle Principal Investment LLC (“New Circle”), which provides the Company the right, but not the obligation, to direct New Circle from time to time to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s Common Shares during the commitment period ending June 18, 2028, at a discount of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over a defined pricing period. Under the SEPA, the Company may sell shares to the New Circle at a price based on either: option 1 – 97% of the lowest daily VWAP over the three trading days following the purchase notice, or option 2 – the greater of 85% of the VWAP or the lowest sale price on a specific trading day determined by the timing of the notice. The Company has the option to issue a variable number of shares of Common Stock or cash in satisfaction of the $350,000 commitment fee agreed upon in SEPA. The Company has not paid the commitment fee as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Any purchase would be subject to certain limitations, including that New Circle shall not purchase any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Common Stock or any shares that would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date of the SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval was obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount (the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including where the average purchase price of all applicable sales of Common Shares equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately preceding the Effective Date; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date. Cash Flows The following table shows a summary of our cash flow for the periods presented: For the six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 Net cash (used in) operating activities $ (3,762,742 ) $ (2,327,632 ) Net cash (used in) investing activities (743,798 ) (361,862 ) Net cash provided by financing activities $ 10,278,154 $ 3,134,500 Operating Activities Our largest source of operating cash is investments made by our shareholders. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related expenditures, sales and marketing expenses, inventory purchases, and research & development activities. We generated negative cash flows from operations in the preceding two fiscal years. We have supplemented working capital through net proceeds from the sale of equity securities and bridge loans. - 31 - Cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This consisted of a net loss of $30.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $18.5 million, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $7.8 million. The non-cash charges were primarily composed of change in fair value expense of $17.4 million and loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million. Cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This consisted of a net loss of $16.2 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $13.6 million, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $229 thousand. The non-cash charges were primarily composed of change in fair value SAFE note expense of $13.5 million. Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $744 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which primarily consisted of $107 thousand of property and equipment purchases and $637 thousand of capital expenditures for internal-use software development costs. Cash used in investing activities was $362 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted of capital expenditures for internal-use software development costs. Financing Activities Cash provided by financing activities was $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which primarily consisted of $10.8 million in proceeds from PIPE investors. Cash provided by financing activities was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted of $3.1 million of proceeds from issuance of bridge loans. Contractual Obligations and Commitments Our estimated future obligations consist of leases and non-cancelable purchase commitments as of June 30, 2025. For additional discussion on our leases and other commitments, refer to Note 13 – Leases and Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. - 32 - Accounting for SAFE Agreements In accordance with FASB ASC 815 40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company determined the SAFE agreements are freestanding financial instruments and accordingly are classified as “liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The SAFE agreements are carried at estimated fair value determined by the Company using a probability weighted expected return method. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: 1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; 2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; 3. Determination of the transaction price; 4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. We offer feasibility studies which allow customers to gain insight into how data driven tracking could improve their business. As part of our studies, off-the-shelf components are installed on customer-owned assets which enable data to be captured by our beta Zero Infrastructure Mesh (“ZIM”) technology network. These feasibility studies allow the refinement of our software protocols and provide essential information for the continued development of our solution. Customers receive the information captured in our feasibility study reports. These feasibility study reports are the only performance obligation in our contracts. We determined that the single promise to our customers is satisfied at a point in time. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the context of the contract and the nature of our promise to provide the customer with actionable insights to improve the management of their operations in a feasibility report. The single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, as our customers do not consume the benefits of our studies until their feasibility report is delivered. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to the performance obligation is recognized on when control of the feasibility report is transferred to the customer which is upon acceptance. The estimates involved in revenue recognition pertain to determination of standalone selling price. Management considered the data inputs for the standalone selling price and determined that the adjusted market assessment approach provided the best estimate of the standalone selling price. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the standalone selling price is remote. - 33 - Internal-Use Software Development In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 40, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software , we capitalize software development costs incurred on new applications or enhancements to applications during the application development phase of software for internal use to provide services to customers. These capitalized costs include certain payroll and payroll related costs for employees and costs for outside consultants who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal use software projects. Costs incurred prior to the application development phase and after the market release are expensed as incurred. Internal use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life from the date the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The estimated useful life will be determined based on management’s judgment on how long the core technology and functionality serves internal needs and the customer base. Once projects are substantially complete, management will evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and will test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. These costs are not yet amortized as our SaaS solution has not been deployed. Management considers use of estimates in determining the appropriate allocation of personnel costs (including fringe benefits and stock compensation) and software development consultants’ costs to software capitalization. Such costs were analyzed for reasonableness and the current basis (evaluation of project plans and stage) is determined to be the best estimate of the costs capitalized during the period. The estimates applied have been reasonable in the past and the likelihood of change in estimate to impact the software cost capitalized is remote. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements We describe the recently issued accounting pronouncements that apply in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Emerging Growth Company Status Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised accounting standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
