Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the framework established
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on the assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 was effective.

Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other
than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Inherent
Limitations of Internal Controls
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and
that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based
in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Nevada law, and conducts its business through meetings
of the board of directors and its standing committees. We have a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board
of directors when necessary to address specific issues.
Our
board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee are independent as defined under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, including, in the case of all of the members of
our audit committee, the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In making such determination, the
board of directors considered the relationships that each director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that the
board of directors deemed relevant in determining director independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each
director.
Audit
Committee
The
Audit Committee is composed of Christopher R. Moe, Allan Evans, and Christopher Ensey, with Mr. Moe serving as Chair. Each member of
the Audit Committee is an independent director as defined by the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Each member of
our Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq rules. In addition, our board of directors has determined
that Mr. Moe qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation
S-K.
The
Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and engage independent auditors for the Company. The Audit
Committee reviews with the auditors and with the Company’s financial management all matters relating to the annual audit of the
Company. The Audit Committee monitors the integrity of our financial statements, monitors the independent registered public accounting
firm’s qualifications and independence, monitors the performance of our internal audit function and the auditors, and monitors
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also meets with our auditors to review the results of their
audit and review of our annual and interim financial statements.
The
Audit Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis to discuss with management the annual audited financial statements and quarterly

Our
board of directors adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee which is available on our website at https://ir.datacentrex.com/governance.
Compensation
Committee
The
Compensation Committee is composed of Christopher R. Moe, Allan Evans, and Christopher Ensey, each of whom meets the independence requirements
of all applicable laws, rules and regulations as defined by the rules of the Commission and Nasdaq, as determined by the board of directors,
with Mr. Evans serving as Chair. Among other things, the Compensation Committee reviews, recommends and approves salaries and other compensation
of the Company’s executive officers, and administers the Company’s equity incentive plans (including reviewing, recommending
and approving stock option and other equity incentive grants to executive officers) as well as the Company’s clawback policy.
The
Compensation Committee meets in executive session to determine the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In determining
the amount, form, and terms of such compensation, the Committee considers the annual performance evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer
conducted by the board of directors in light of Company goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation, competitive
market data pertaining to Chief Executive Officer compensation at comparable companies, and such other factors as it deems relevant,
and is guided by, and seeks to promote, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
- 61 -
In
addition, subject to existing agreements, the Compensation Committee determines the salaries, bonuses, and other matters relating to
compensation of the executive officers of the Company using similar parameters. It sets performance targets for determining periodic
bonuses payable to executive officers. It also reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding executive and employee
compensation and benefit plans and programs generally, including employee bonus and retirement plans and programs (except to the extent
specifically delegated to a committee of the board of directors with authority to administer a particular plan). In addition, the Compensation
Committee approves the compensation of non-employee directors and reports it to the full board of directors.
The
Compensation Committee also reviews and makes recommendations with respect to shareholder proposals related to compensation matters.
The
Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion and at the Company’s cost, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser. The Compensation Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of
the work of any compensation consultant, legal counsel and other adviser retained by the committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Christopher R. Moe, Allan Evans, and Christopher Ensey, each of whom meets
the independence requirements of all applicable laws, rules and regulations as defined by the rules of the Commission and Nasdaq, as
determined by the board of directors, with Mr. Ensey serving as Chair.
The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors, consistent

the Company complies with its contractual obligations, if any, governing the nomination of directors. It considers and recruits candidates
to fill positions on the board of directors, including as a result of the removal, resignation or retirement of any director, an increase
in the size of the board of directors or otherwise. The Nominating and Corporate Governance conducts, subject to applicable law, any
and all inquiries into the background and qualifications of any candidate for the board of directors and such candidate’s compliance
with the independence and other qualification requirements established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee also recommends candidates to fill positions on committees of the board of directors.
In
selecting and recommending candidates for election to the board of directors or appointment to any committee of the board of directors,
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to select nominees through mechanical application
of specified criteria. Rather, the Nominating and Corporate Governance shall consider such factors at it deems appropriate, including,
without limitation, the following: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as
serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly-held company; experience in the Company’s industry; diversity of expertise
and experience in substantive matters pertaining to the Company’s business relative to other directors of the Company; practical
and mature business judgment; and composition of the board of directors (including its size and structure). The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee develops and recommends to the board of directors a policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended
by the Company’s shareholders and procedures for submission by shareholders of director nominee recommendations.
- 62 -
Furthermore,
the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the evaluation of the board of directors and management. It also develops
and recommends to the board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company, which the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews and revises as appropriate. In discharging its oversight role, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention.

board of directors adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee which is available on our website

Code
of Ethics
The
board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of the Company’s
employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics
also applies to the Company’s directors. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed
to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest
between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws,
rules and regulations and the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior, and accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.
A copy of the code is posted on our website at www.datacentrex.com. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions

trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, officers and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners of our common shares to file reports
concerning their ownership of, and transactions in, such common shares.
Based
solely on our review of these reports filed by the Company’s officers, directors and shareholders, and written representations
from our executive officers and directors that they filed such reports, we believe that our officers, directors, and shareholders complied
with all filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis during fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, except
for a Form 4 filed by Parker Scott reporting one transaction.

Bonus
Arrangements
Pursuant
to the terms of the executive employment agreements described above, the Company, through the board of directors, has the discretion
to determine the amounts of the annual incentive bonus payments which executives may receive. Based on the review of the Company’s
performance for calendar year 2024, the board of directors, in its sole discretion, determined to pay the bonus to the named executive
officer listed in the summary compensation table above. Only Mr. Dietrich received any bonus payments during the 2025
calendar year, paid to him in July 2025 and August 2025, in the aggregate amount of $32,137, in recognition of his service to
the Company during the 2025 year.
Perquisites
Perquisites
are not a material component of compensation. In general, named executive officers do not receive reimbursements for meals, airlines,
and travel costs, other than those costs allowed for all employees. During 2024, our then-Chief Executive Officer received a perquisite
disclosed in the Executive Disclosure Table.
Executive
Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy
We
have adopted an executive incentive compensation recovery policy (the “Executive Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy”)
pursuant to Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and Listing Rule
5608 adopted by Nasdaq (the “Listing Standards”). The purpose of the Executive Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy is
to provide for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation in the event of an accounting restatement. In the event of an accounting
restatement, it is the Company’s policy to recover reasonably promptly the amount of any erroneously awarded compensation received
during the recovery period. An accounting restatement involves a restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to material
noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, including any required accounting restatement
to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that
would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.
The
amount of “erroneously awarded compensation” generally means the amount of incentive-based compensation (compensation that
is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure) received by a covered executive
that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation on that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the
restated financial statements. The Company need not recover any “erroneously awarded compensation” if and to the extent that
the Compensation Committee or a majority of the independent members of the board of directors determines that such recovery is impracticable
and not required under Rule 10D-1 and the Listing Standards, including if the Compensation Committee or a majority of the independent
members of the board of directors determines that: (i) the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the policy would
exceed the amount to be recovered after making a reasonable attempt to recover, or (ii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified
broad-based retirement plan to fail the requirements of Section 401(a)(13) or Section 411(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and regulations thereunder.
The
policy is administered by our Compensation Committee, except that the board of directors may decide to act as the administrator in lieu
of the Compensation Committee or designate another committee of the board of directors (including a special committee) to act as the
administrator other than the determination that recovery of “erroneously awarded compensation” is impracticable and not required
(as described above).

(1) Amounts
reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during fiscal
year 2025, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We valued the restricted stock awards at $3.38 per share for purposes of our accounting income recognition and the
disclosure in this table. See Note 9 to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for assumptions used in determining the grant date fair
value of equity awards.
- 69 -
(2) For
Mr. Ensey, this amount also includes the value of 150,000 shares of restricted common stock
granted to Mr. Ensey on October 14, 2025, which grant is evidenced by a Restricted Stock
Award Agreement under the 2025 Plan, (the “Ensey Restricted Grant”). Under the
original terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the award was to vest in full upon
the closing of the common stock acquisition. On November 21, 2025, the board of directors,
pursuant to its discretion under the 2025 Plan, elected to accelerate and vest 25,000 of
the shares subject to the award as of that date, provided that the remaining 125,000 shares
remained subject to the vesting terms originally provided under the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement governing the Ensey Restricted Grant includes
the modified vesting terms described herein. All 150,000 shares were fully vested as of December
31, 2025. The fair value of the modified award on the modification date ($3.78 per share)
did not exceed the original grant date fair value ($5.25 per share); accordingly, no incremental
compensation cost was recognized as a result of the modification.
(3) On
October 29, 2024, each of Messrs. Dickman, Haag, and Ms. Massey was granted an option to
purchase 138,000, 120,000, and 120,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share with a one-year cliff vest (the “Prior Director Options”).
No option awards were granted to former directors during fiscal year 2025. The grant date
fair value of the Prior Director Options was recognized in the fiscal year ended December
31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Prior Director Options remained outstanding and fully
vested.
(4) Each
of Messrs. Evans, Moe, and Ensey were granted 103,550 shares of restricted common stock pursuant
to the Omnibus Plan on December 22, 2025, evidenced by written action of the Compensation
Committee (the “New Director Restricted Grants”). The New Director Awards shall
vest in three equal annual installments beginning on June 1, 2026, subject to continued board
of directors service, the establishment of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, and certain additional
conditions.
(5) Cash
fees reflect amounts earned for board of directors and committee service during fiscal year
2025, pro-rated from each director’s appointment date, including, with respect to Messrs.
Ensey, Moe, and Evans, amounts earned and paid in early January 2026.
(6) On
August 4, 2025, each of directors Dickman, Haag, and Massey were granted restricted common
stock (with respect to 50,000, 500,000, and 50,000 shares, respectively), pursuant to the
2025 Plan, and each of directors Dickman, Haag, and Massey, together with the Company and
effective November 12, 2025, mutually rescinded 100% of such shares of restricted stock such
that each grant was void ab initio.
(7) The
following changes to the board of directors of the Company took place as of the following
dates: Robert Haag resigned effective October 4, 2025; Christpher Ensey was appointed effective
October 14, 2025; Joanna Massey and Paul Dickman resigned effective December 15, 2025; and
Messrs. Evans, Moe, and Ensey were appointed effective December 15, 2025.

Disclosure
of the Company’s policies and practices related to the grant of certain equity awards close in time to the release of material
nonpublic information.
The
Company does not have a written policy in place regarding the timing of the grant and issuance of stock options in relation to the release
of material non-public information. Historically, the Company has granted stock option awards on an annual basis and as may otherwise
be deemed appropriate by our board of directors or compensation committee from time to time based on the facts and circumstances, as
applicable. The Company has not intentionally timed the grant of stock options in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information,
nor have we intentionally timed the release of material nonpublic information based on stock option grant dates. During fiscal year 2025,
the Company did not grant stock options (or similar awards) to any of our named executive officers during the period beginning four business
days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing
of any Company Form 8-K that disclosed any material non-public information.
Our
Equity Incentive Plans
The
Company maintains three equity incentive plans: the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), the 2025 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), and the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). Each plan
was approved by the board of directors of Directors and the Company’s shareholders. The plans are designed to attract and
retain employees, directors, and consultants by providing equity-based compensation that aligns the interests of plan participants
with those of the Company’s shareholders. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 7,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized
for issuance across the three plans, of which 1,812,425 shares were subject to outstanding awards and 5,187,575 shares remained
available for future issuance. As of December 31, 2025, grants are no longer permitted to be made under the 2024 Plan and the 2025 Plan.

Summary
of the Plans
Equity-based
awards are a variable element of compensation that allows us to reward our NEOs for their sustained contributions to the Company. Equity
awards reward performance and continued employment by a NEO, with associated benefits to the Company of attracting and retaining employees.
We believe that equity-based compensation, including but not limited to stock options and restricted stock, will provide NEOs with a
strong link to long-term corporate performance and the creation of shareholder value.
Prior
Plans
The
Company previously approved the 2024 Plan and the 2025 Plan, pursuant to which, in each case, 2,000,000 shares of our common stock were
previously reserved for issuance (together, the “Prior Plans”). Effective as of the effective date of the Omnibus Plan, (i)
any awards made under the Prior Plans shall continue to be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the Prior Plan
and any applicable award Agreement, and (ii) no further awards shall be made under the Prior Plans. As of December 31, 2025, 1,314,447
shares remain outstanding pursuant to awards issued under the 2024 Plan and 150,000 shares remain outstanding pursuant to awards issued
under the 2025 Plan.
The
Prior Plans will terminate, in each case, ten years after the earlier of (i) the date that such Prior Plan was adopted by the board of
directors, or (ii) the date that such Prior Plan was approved by the shareholders, and awards issued under each of the Prior Plans shall
expire as provided in the award agreement with respect thereto.
2025
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
The
Omnibus Plan became effective on December 8, 2025 (the “Omnibus Effective Date”). The Company believes that the effective
use of long-term, stock-based incentive compensation is integral to the Company’s success and is vital to its ability to achieve
strong performance in the future. Awards under the Omnibus Plan are intended to align the interests of our executives with those of our
shareholders, enhance the personal stake of executive officers in the growth and success of the Company, and provide for the executive
officers’ continued service at the Company, and provide an opportunity for executives to increase their stock ownership levels.
There are 7,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, of which 5,187,575 shares remained available
for future issuance as of December 31, 2025. The Omnibus Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined
therein), unless earlier terminated by the plan administrator.
Item
12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder matters
Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The
following table lists, as of April 13, 2026 the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by:
(i)
each
of our Named Executive Officers;
(ii)
each
of our directors;
(iii)
all
executive officers and directors as a group; and
(iv)
each
person, entity or group (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) known to the Company to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock.
- 73 -
Information
relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by
each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Commission. Under these rules, a person is
deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person directly or indirectly has or shares voting power, which includes the
power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to
acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days of April 13, 2026. Under the Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed
to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or
she may not have any pecuniary interest.
The

IRTH
Communications, LLC
On
November 20, 2025, the Company (then operating as Thumzup Media Corporation) entered into a Services Agreement (the “Original IRTH
Agreement”) with IRTH Communications, LLC (“IRTH”) pursuant to which IRTH agreed to provide investor relations, public
relations, financial communications and strategic consulting services to the Company. The Original IRTH Agreement had an initial term
of three months, with automatic renewal for successive three-month periods unless terminated upon 30 days’ written notice. Under
the Original IRTH Agreement, the Company agreed to pay IRTH a non-refundable fixed fee of $30,000 per month, payable quarterly in advance
in installments of $90,000, plus a $10,000 refundable deposit.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid IRTH an aggregate of $105,000, consisting of $90,000 under the quarterly fixed fee
provision of the Original IRTH Agreement and $15,000 for an institutional, broker and professional investor outreach program. As of December
31, 2025, there were no amounts payable to or receivable from IRTH.
On
February 20, 2026, the Company and IRTH entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Services Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant
to which: (i) Datacentrex, Inc., as successor-in-interest to Thumzup Media Corporation following the Merger, formally assumed all rights
and obligations under the Original IRTH Agreement; (ii) the term was extended for a fixed period of six months, commencing February 20,
2026 and expiring August 20, 2026, with no automatic renewal; (iii) the monthly cash fee was reduced from $30,000 to $15,000, payable
monthly in advance; and (iv) the Company granted IRTH 60,000 stock options with an exercise price of $2.00 per share, fully vested upon
grant, issued under the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.
IRTH
is owned and controlled by Robert Haag. Mr. Haag served as a member of the Company’s board of directors until his resignation effective
October 4, 2025. Although Mr. Haag was no longer a director at the time the Original IRTH Agreement was executed, he served as a director
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and, accordingly, the transaction is disclosed as a related party transaction pursuant
to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Audit
Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice
Prior
to our engagement of our independent auditor, such engagement was approved by our board of directors. The services provided under this
engagement may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for
up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific
budget. Pursuant our requirements, the independent auditors and management are required to report to our board of directors at least
quarterly regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for
the services performed to date. Our board of directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. All audit-related
fees, tax fees and other fees incurred by us were approved by our board of directors.
Pre-Approval
of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services
In accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley,
our audit committee charter requires the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent
registered public accounting firm, including the review and approval in advance of our independent registered public accounting firm’s
annual engagement letter and the proposed fees contained therein. The audit committee has the ability to delegate the authority to pre-approve
non-audit services to one or more designated members of the audit committee. If such authority is delegated, such delegated members of
the audit committee must report to the full audit committee at the next audit committee meeting all items pre-approved by such delegated
members. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of the services performed by our independent registered public accounting
firm were pre-approved by the audit committee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Datacentrex, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet of Datacentrex, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

December

Note
1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations
Datacentrex
(“DTCX” or the “Company”), formerly Thumzup Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or “TZUP”) was
incorporated on October 27, 2020, under the laws of the State of Nevada, and its headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California.
In December 2025, The Company completed a merger with Dogehash Technologies Inc (“Dogehash”) which was accounted for a reverse
recapitalization as described in Note 2. Thumzup’s primary business is software as a service provider dedicated to connecting businesses
with consumers and allowing the business to incentivize consumers to post about their experience on social media. Thumzup’s mission
is to democratize social media marketing by connecting advertisers with non-professional people, who can be paid for their posts about
products and services they love through its technology which utilizes a proprietary mobile app (“App”). The App generates
scalable word-of-mouth product posts and recommendations for advertisers on social media and is designed to connect advertisers with
individuals who are willing to promote their products online. Dogehash is a digital asset mining company focused on mining Dogecoins
(“DOGE”) and other Litecoins (“LTC”). The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada in July 2025. The Company
acquired, through an asset purchase agreement effective July 25, 2025, US Data and Energy, LLC who commenced operations in January 2025
and is the historical operating entity included in these financial statements.
Note
2 – Reverse Recapitalization
On
August 18, 2025 (the “Agreement Date”), Thumzup Media Corporation (“Thumzup”), through its wholly owned subsidiary
TZUP Merger Sub, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dogehash Technologies Inc.
(“DTCX”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, TZUP Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into DTCX, with DTCX surviving as
the post-merger entity. In exchange, Thumzup agreed to issue 30.075 million shares of Thumzup common stock as consideration for 100 %
of the outstanding shares of DTCX as of the Agreement Date.
On
December 8, 2025, the shareholders of Thumzup approved the merger. The transaction closed on December 15, 2025 (the “Effective
Date”), upon completion of all required regulatory filings and the receipt of NASDAQ approval. At the Effective Date, Thumzup issued
13,835,188 shares of common stock and 16,239.812 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock as consideration for the acquisition
of all remaining outstanding DTCX common shares.
On
December 15, 2025, Thumzup and DTCX completed a reverse recapitalization (the “Transaction”). For accounting purposes, the
Transaction was treated as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions, with Dogehash Technologies
Inc. identified as the accounting acquirer and Thumzup identified as the legal acquirer.
The
consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial statements of Dogehash, as Dogehash is considered the continuing reporting
entity for accounting purposes. Thumzup’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the consolidated financial
statements only from the Effective Date forward. Thumzup’s historical financial statements are not included for periods prior to
the Transaction because such information represents the operations of the legal acquirer, not the accounting acquirer.
Because
the accounting acquirer, Dogehash, was incorporated in fiscal year 2025 and did not have historical operations, it did not prepare stand-alone
financial statements prior to the Transaction, the Company is presenting only current-period information in these consolidated financial
statements. No comparative period or prior-year financial information is presented. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
include: The assets, liabilities, and operations of Dogehash for the period presented; the assets and liabilities of Thumzup recognized
as of the Effective Date, recorded at historical cost, consistent with the accounting requirements of a reverse recapitalization (no
goodwill or intangible assets are recognized); and the results of operations of Thumzup from December 15, 2025 through the end of the
reporting period.
Accordingly,
transactions completed by Thumzup are presented for the period from December 15, 2025 through December 31, 2025, while the results for
the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the accounting acquirer’s operations
All
share and per-share amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, as applicable, to
reflect the equity structure of Thumzup, the legal acquirer and surviving publicly traded entity, in accordance with reverse recapitalization
accounting.
F- 6
Note
3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis
and as of December 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 include the consolidated accounts of the Company. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.
Use
of Estimates
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the
financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s management periodically reviews
estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company
to revise these estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used in the accounting for digital assets, revenue recognition, useful
lives of equipment and the evaluation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair
Value Measurement
As
defined in GAAP, fair value represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants. As a result, fair value is a market-based approach that should be determined based on assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering these assumptions, GAAP defines a three-tier
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities,
quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities.
The
fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or
less when purchased.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $ 38,919,486 , respectively. The Company maintains its
cash in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of
the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions.
At December 31, 2025, the uninsured balances amounted to $ 37,914,117 . There is a risk the Company may lose uninsured balances over the
FDIC insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any such losses.
Digital
Assets
The
Company holds digital assets classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)
2023-08, “Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets.” These crypto assets are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. As part of its scope assessment, the Company evaluated all digital assets held during the years ended December 31, 2025, to determine
whether they meet the criteria for recognition under ASU 2023-08. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that its holdings of
Bitcoin, Dogecoin and other Litecoins are in-scope digital assets. These assets are actively traded, held in custodial arrangements with
enforceable rights, and used in operations or treasury activities. Further, the Company noted there are no digital assets that are not
actively used, lack enforceable ownership rights, or are immaterial in value during the year ended December 31, 2025.
F- 7
The
Company determines the fair value of its in-scope digital assets using the market approach, primarily based on observable market prices
in active exchanges. The valuation process considers relevant inputs such as exchange prices of similar digital assets, liquidity, and
market depth. The fair value measurements are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs are quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s digital assets are recorded at a fair value of $ 4,430,202 .
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a net unrealized and realized loss of $ 443,696 in the consolidated statements
of operations and related to changes in fair value of digital assets. The Company continuously evaluates the fair value of its digital
assets, considering market conditions and other factors that may impact valuation. There were no significant changes in the valuation
techniques or inputs used during the reporting period.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Management
reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted
future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized
is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There we no impairment recognized
during the year ended or as of December 31, 2025.
Prepaid
Expenses and Other Assets
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 468,817 of prepaid expenses which primarily consisted of premiums on insurance policies and prepaid
power charges associated with its locations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 621,660 of other assets which primarily consisted
of hosting deposits for its colocation locations. See Note 7 for further details on the Company’s colocation arrangements.
Equipment
Equipment,
which consists of mining and computer equipment, is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our statement
of operations. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are
capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in gains
from sales of property and equipment, net. The estimated useful life for mining equipment and computer equipment is 2 two and three
years , respectfully. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to computer equipment at the
end of each fiscal year.
Capitalized
Software Costs
The
Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Thumzup platform. In accordance with authoritative
guidance, including ASC 350-40, we began to capitalize these costs when the technological feasibility was established and preliminary
development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the
project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these
criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expenses
on our consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or
functionality that would generate additional revenue are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements,
generally three years. The Company does not capitalize any testing or maintenance costs. The accounting for these capitalized software
costs requires the Company to make significant judgments, assumptions and estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized
software development costs.
The
Company evaluates its capitalized software costs for impairment annually, at year-end. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined
no impairment of its capitalized software costs was warranted.
F- 8
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company engages in digital asset mining utilizing the Scrypt hashing algorithm which falls outside of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers.
The
Company engages in the mining of digital assets, primarily utilizing the Scrypt hashing algorithm, such as Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin
(DOGE). Scrypt is a cryptographic proof-of-work algorithm designed to be computationally and memory intensive, offering an alternative
to the SHA-256 algorithm used in Bitcoin mining.
Scrypt
mining involves solving complex mathematical problems that require both processing power and memory bandwidth. This algorithm supports
the security and integrity of blockchain networks by making it economically impractical to manipulate transaction data. The Company utilizes
specialized mining equipment optimized for the Scrypt algorithm to maximize efficiency and output. The Company participates in merged
mining of Litecoin and Dogecoin, leveraging the Scrypt algorithm to simultaneously validate blocks on both blockchain networks.
Under
Scrypt mining, there is no contract with a customer as the mining rewards area granted by the decentralized blockchain protocol and not
a party entering into a contractual agreement. Therefore, Revenue is recognized when control of the mined digital assets is obtained
and transferred to a digital wallet, measured at the fair market value of the assets at the time of receipt. Fair value is based on a
principal or most advantageous market, using observable market prices from reputable exchanges.
Cost
of Revenue
The
Company’s cost of revenue consists primarily of direct production costs related to mining operations, including electricity costs,
and other relevant costs paid to our hosting facilities in accordance with the colocation agreement.
Sales
and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expenses primarily include costs related to advertising and marketing programs. Sales and marketing costs are expensed
as incurred and totaled $ 2,804 for year ended December 31, 2025 and are included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated
statement of operations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary
differences between the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement carrying amount. In addition,
deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses and research and development tax credit carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Significant
judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation
allowance, the Company considers all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the
feasibility of tax planning strategies.
In
the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be realized,
the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which
such determination is made. The Company follows the authoritative guidance regarding uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires
that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit)
before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The guidance further prescribes the benefit to be realized assumes a review
by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions.
F- 9
Segment
Reporting
Operating
segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed
by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in
assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information
for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. While the Company does have revenue
from multiple products, no measures of profitability by product are available, so discrete financial information is not available for
each such component. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment and one reportable segment.
Share-based
Compensation
The
Company maintains its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan 2025 Equity Incentive Plan and 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive plan (collectively,
the “Equity Plans”), under which, the Company’s employees, officers, directors, and other eligible participants
may be and have been awarded various types of share-based compensation, including options to purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards. Additionally, under the Equity Plans, awards may be and have
been granted that are subject to the achievement of one or more performance measures established by the Company’s board of
directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.
For
options and other stock-based awards, the share-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant,
as estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For restricted stock units, the share-based compensation expense is based on the
fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of liability-classified awards (e.g., the other stock-based
awards and cash-settled restricted stock units) is remeasured at each reporting date.
The
Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for service-conditioned awards granted under the Equity Plans on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period (generally, the vesting period for service-conditioned awards under the Equity Plans).
See
Note 9, Stock Options, to the financial statements for further information regarding the Equity Plans, related share-based compensation
expense, and assumptions used in determining fair value.
Treasury
Stock
On
February 26, 2025, the Thumzup board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate
of $ 1 million of common stock. Subject to applicable rules and regulations, the shares may be purchased from time to time in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions. Such purchases will be at times and in amounts as deemed appropriate, based on factors
such as market conditions, legal requirements and other business considerations.
On
September 23, 2025, the Thumzup board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate
of $ 10 million of common stock. Subject to applicable rules and regulations, the shares may be purchased from time to time in the open
market. Such purchases will be at times and in amounts as deemed appropriate, based on factors such as market conditions, cash reserves,
cash flows and other business considerations.
The
Company accounts for treasury stock at cost. During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 59,191 shares of common
stock for approximately $ 274,231 under its share repurchase program.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 274,231 in treasury stock.
Preferred
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. At December 31, 2025, 174,630 shares
were issued and outstanding.
F- 10
Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. At December 31, 2025, 30,375,530 shares

Member
Units
During
2025, the Company issued 11,215,625 Class A -1 units for cash proceeds of $ 17,945,000 .
During
2025, the Company issued 5,794,556 Class A – 2 units for cash proceeds of $ 10,422,402 and incurred issuance costs, including escrow
fees, totaling approximately $ 1,167,000 .
All
member units were eliminated upon the consummation of the transaction between Dogehash and Thumzup.
Net
Loss Per Common Share
The
Company computes loss per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented,
would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock
using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable.
The
computation of basic and diluted loss per share, for the years ended December 31, 2025, excludes potentially dilutive securities when
their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during
the period.
Potentially
dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Crypto
Assets
In
December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill
and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU
2023-08 requires in-scope crypto assets (including the Company’s bitcoin and dogecoin holdings) to be measured at fair value in
the statement of financial position, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such crypto assets recognized in net income
each reporting period. ASU 2023-08 also requires certain interim and annual disclosures for crypto assets within the scope of the standard.
The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis.
The
Company expects the adoption of ASU 2023-08 will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of
operations, statements of cash flows and disclosures. The Company will initially record its bitcoin and dogecoin purchases at cost, upon
adopting ASU 2023-08, any subsequent increases or decreases in fair value will be recognized as incurred in the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations, and the fair value of the Company’s bitcoin and dogecoin will be reflected within the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets each reporting period-end. Additionally, the Company will provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures
to meet the new requirements under ASU 2023-08, including a roll-forward of its bitcoin and dogecoin holdings during the reporting period
and period-end cost basis, fair value, number of units held, and restrictions.
F- 11
Segment
Reporting
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires enhanced disclosures surrounding reportable segments, particularly
(i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included
in the reported measure(s) of a segment’s profit and loss and (ii) other segment items that reconcile segment revenue and significant
expenses to the reported measure(s) of a segment’s profit and loss, both on an annual and interim basis. Companies are also required
to provide all annual disclosures currently required under Topic 280 in interim periods, in addition to disclosing the title and position
of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit and loss in assessing segment performance and allocating
resources. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial reporting or disclosures.
Income
Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires
enhanced disclosures surrounding income taxes, particularly related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. In particular,
on an annual basis, companies will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information
for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Companies will also be required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount
of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions above a quantitative
threshold. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, with retrospective
application permitted for all prior periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial reporting or disclosures.

Disaggregation
of Income Statement Expenses
In
November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires specified information about certain
costs and expenses be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, including the expense on the face of the income statement in

The
deposits for equipment represented advance payments for purchases of miner, high performance computing equipment and other equipment
used in digital asset mining activity at the Colocation site. The Company initially recognizes deposits for equipment when cash is advanced
to our suppliers. Subsequently, the Company derecognizes and reclassifies deposits for mining equipment to mining equipment when control
is transferred to and obtained by the Company. At December 31, 2025, the Company had deposits and advance payments of approximately $ 3,600,100
for mining equipment.

8 – Contingencies
Legal
From
time to time, the Company may be involved in various litigation matters and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. The
Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory investigations and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis. The Company records liabilities
for contingencies, including legal costs, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred before the balance sheet date and the
amount can be reasonably estimated.
F- 14
Various
legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may, in the future, adopt laws, regulations or guidance,
or take other actions that could severely impact the permissibility of digital assets generally and the technology behind them or the
means of transacting in or transferring them. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing or new
regulation with respect to this technology and its applications.
Colocation
Agreement
The
Company utilizes third-party data center facilities to support its digital asset mining operations. Specifically, the Company has entered
into a colocation and hosting services agreement with an independent data center provider for the ongoing provision of rack space, electrical
power capacity, network connectivity, and cooling infrastructure required to operate the Company’s mining hardware. These arrangements
do not convey to the Company the right to control the use of any identified physical asset within the data center, and the service provider
retains substantive substitution rights of the assets at all times. Accordingly, consistent with the guidance in ASC 842, the Company
has concluded that the arrangement represents a service contract and does not contain a lease, as the Company does not obtain control
of an identified asset during the contract term.
The
colocation and hosting contracts generally include variable charges based on power consumption and other usage-based elements. Under
ASC 842, the Company recognizes expense for such service arrangements as incurred, and no right-of-use (“ROU”) asset or lease
liability is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet because the contract is outside the scope of lease accounting.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 3,353,355 in colocation and hosting-related service expenses, which are included
within cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Note
9 – Stock Options
Thumzup’s
stockholders approved Thumzup’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2024, amending it in July 2024 to increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance thereunder to 2,000,000 , and approved Thumzup’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan in April 2025 with an additional
2,000,000 shares reserved for issuance thereunder. In December 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2025 Omnibus Equity
Incentive Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan are 7,000,000 . The equity plans approved by the stockholder
are collectively referred to as the “Plans”.
The
Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options to Thumzup’s employees, including officers, consultants and directors, and
its subsidiaries’ employees, including officers, consultants and directors and for the grant of stock options, stock bonus awards,
restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and other forms of stock compensation. The Plans also provide that the grant of performance
stock awards may be paid out in cash as determined by the committee administering the Plans.
Option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a volatility figure derived from historical data. The Company accounts for the expected life
of options based on the contractual life of the options.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had 5,187,575 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Plans.

in excess of the total principal amount, ordinary interest, and late interest then outstanding; or a sale of all or substantially all
the assets of the Company, then the Maturity Date shall accelerate to the date of such closing. Based on completion on the transaction
as of December 15, 2025, the note became due as was paid in full.
In
September 2025, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory note for a principal sum of $ 2,500,000 . The note originally matured on

15, 2025, the note became due as was paid in full
Note
12- Segment Information
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which requires public entities to disclose information about operating
segments based on the internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)
for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.
The
CODM, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the business and makes operating decisions using a consolidated set
of financial information. Management has determined that the Company operates as one operating segment, as the Company’s operations
are organized and managed as a single business component with:
One
set of economic activities—the development, deployment, and operation of digital asset mining infrastructure; A single management
team making decisions about resource allocation across all activities; and revenue focus on the production, validation, and sale of digital
assets; and a centralized cost structure, including equipment procurement, colocation arrangements, power usage, maintenance, and operational
oversight.
Based
on this analysis, management has concluded that the Company has one reportable segment, referred to as the “Digital Asset Mining
Business.” This segment is primarily engaged in mining Dogecoin and other Litecoin-network digital assets, utilizing specialized
hardware and third-party colocation facilities.
Because
the Company has only one reportable segment, separate segment information (such as disaggregated revenues, profit or loss measures, or
segment assets) is not presented, as such information is identical to the information presented in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. Because substantially all operations and assets are located in a single geographic area, no additional geographic disaggregation
is presented.
Note
13 – Income Taxes
Effective
July 25, 2025, the Company converted from a limited liability company (LLC) to a C Corporation as a result of the asset purchase agreement
between the Company and US Data and Energy, LLC . Prior to the conversion, the Company was treated as a pass-through entity for federal
and state income tax purposes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes was recorded at the entity level for the period from January
1, 2025 through June 30, 2025. Income during this period was taxable directly to the members.
Following
the conversion, the Company became subject to federal and applicable state corporate income taxes. As a result, the Company has recorded
a provision for income taxes for the period from June 30, 2025 through December 31., 2025 in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The
provision includes both current and deferred income tax expense.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities were established as of the conversion date based on temporary differences between the book and tax bases of
assets and liabilities. The Company also evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets and recorded a valuation allowance where
it was determined that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F- 18
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $ 737,000 in gross deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carry-forwards
of $ 3,509,000 , available to offset future taxable income through 2041 subject to the change in ownership provisions under IRC 382. A
valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the Company’s management believes future
realization of the related tax benefits is uncertain.
