2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis provide information which we believe relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition
and results of operations. The following financial information is derived from our financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (“Form 10-Q”) contains certain
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). All
statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding the financial
position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for our future operations, are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to us. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,”
“scheduled,” “intend,” “plan,” and “expect” and variations of these words or similar
expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control,
that could cause the actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q and are subject to numerous risks, including, but not limited to the following:
● the
occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted against us;
● the
ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, and the potential liquidity
and trading of our securities;
● the
risk of disruption to our current plans and operations;
● the
ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of our business and the Business Combination,
which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability to grow, manage
growth profitably, and retain key employees;
● costs
related to our business;
● changes
in applicable laws or regulations;
● our
ability to meet future capital requirements to fund our operations, which may involve debt
and/or equity financing, and to obtain such debt and/or equity financing on favorable terms,
and our sources and uses of cash;
● our
ability to maintain existing license agreements;
● our
ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future;
● our
financial performance; and
● other
factors disclosed under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.
These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk
Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can
we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely
from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable and the information included in this report
is accurate, we cannot guarantee that the future results, level of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for
any reason after the date of this report to confirm these statements to actual results or changes in our expectations. We qualify all
of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”),
and also with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.

Revenues
Revenues
increased by $1,481,316, or 34.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase
is primarily attributable to higher product acceptance, which resulted in increased revenue recognition from product sales, as well as
the recognition of previously deferred revenue upon satisfaction of the applicable revenue recognition criteria.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenue decreased by $211,372, or 8.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
The decrease was partially attributable to (i) the allocation of salaries and wages of warehouse employees of $330,204 during the three
months ended June 30, 2026, compared to its absence during the prior year period, (ii) the increase in shipping costs of $192,590 during
the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period, (iii) inventory adjustments decreased by $328,276, reflecting
reduced inventory write-downs and other inventory-related adjustments, and (iv) other product cost variances decreased by $405,890 as
compared to the prior year period.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses increased by $44,668, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Salaries,
Wages and Benefits
Salaries,
wages and benefits increased by $234,355, or 23.3%, to 1,240,565 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,006,210 the
three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in employee compensation capitalized as software development
costs, which resulted in a greater portion of payroll cost being recognized as operating expense during the current-year period. Employee
compensation capitalized as software development costs decreased to $933,603 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $1,298,247
in the prior year period.
Selling,
General and Administrative
Selling,
general and administrative decreased by $189,687, or 7.2%, to $2,447,339 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2,637,026,
for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The overall decrease was primarily attributable to a $323,248 decrease in bad debt expense
in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for recording the allowance for doubtful accounts, as well as a $166,619 decrease
in other selling, general and administrative expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in amortization expense related
to capitalized software costs to $286,513 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $111,188 for the comparable prior-year period,
and an increase in rent expense of $124,855, primarily resulting from a lease modification executed during the year ended December 31,
2025, which increased the Company’s monthly lease payments.
Other
Expenses, net
Other
expenses, net decreased by $1,225,642, or 84.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the three months ended June
30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the elimination of interest expense associated with the PIPE convertible notes following
their exchange for Series A Preferred Stock in July 2025 as well as the settlement of the dividend notes payable in April 2025.

the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower amount of employee compensation being
capitalized as software development costs during the current-year period. The Company capitalized $1,999,668 of employee
compensation as software development costs during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,568,778 during the
corresponding prior year period.
Selling,

general and administrative increased by $269,358, or 5.0%, to $5,631,503 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to
$5,362,145, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The overall increase was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization
expense related primarily to capitalized software costs of $755,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $211,488 for
the six months ended June 30, 2025, and an increase in rent expense of $124,855, primarily resulting from a lease modification
executed during the year ended December 31, 2025, which increased the Company’s monthly lease payments. The increases were partially offset by an decrease of $264,318 in bad
debt expense in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for recording the allowance for doubtful accounts, a decrease
of $212,235 in legal fees, as well as a $192,540 decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Other
expenses, net decreased by $2,509,025, or 86.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the six months ended June 30,
2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the elimination of interest expense associated with the PIPE convertible notes following
their exchange for Series A Preferred Stock in July 2025 as well as the settlement of the dividend notes payable in April 2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As
of June 30, 2026, we had cash on hand of $8,474,349 and a working capital deficit of $2,345,394 as compared to cash on hand of $12,569,263
and a working capital surplus of $1,076,496 as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to a decrease
in cash on hand of $4,094,910, an increase of accounts receivable, net of $204,304, an increase in inventory of $528,059, and an increase
in prepaid expenses of $72,704, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $481,822, an increase in other current
liabilities of $129,704 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $379,836 and a decrease of $150,000 in note payable to related parties.
The
Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2026, as well as other potential strategic and business development
initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near
future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily with the sale of equity and
convertible notes, although no assurances can be given that such financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
16
Cash
Flows
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, our cash used in operating activities was $1,400,386 compared to $1,354,546 during the six months
ended June 30, 2025.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, our net cash used in investing activities was $2,175,802 as compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $1,614,744 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due
to an increase in capitalized costs for software development.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, our net cash used in financing activities was $518,726 compared to net cash provided of
$2,246,572 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to
repurchase of treasury stock and cash payment of $150,000 for repayment of notes payable to a related party during the six months
ended June 30, 2026, compared to $268,500 of such payments during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as $2,520,000 in cash
proceeds from the convertible PIPE notes in 2025.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. The following estimates involve the highest degree of judgment
and uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
The descriptions should be read in conjunction with Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which describes the underlying
accounting policies.
Allowance
for Current Expected Losses
We
estimate our allowance for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable using a rate loss model that considers customer payment
history, aging, current economic conditions, and management’s judgment regarding ultimate collectability. As of June 30, 2026,
we recorded an allowance of $1,372,500 against gross accounts receivable of $2,637,513, representing a reserve rate of 52.0%. The reserve
rate reflects the concentration of our receivables among a limited number of commercial customers and the extended payment terms common
in our industry.
This
estimate is inherently uncertain because it requires management to predict future customer behavior based on historical patterns that
may not be indicative of future collections. A 10% increase or decrease in our reserve rate would change the allowance by approximately
$264,000, with a corresponding impact on net income. Given the concentration of our receivable balance, the financial condition of a
single significant customer could have a disproportionate effect on this estimate.
Inventory
Valuation
We
carry inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Estimating net realizable value requires management to assess product demand,
technological obsolescence, and the expected selling prices of inventory on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded
$64,343 in inventory valuation adjustments in connection with our transition to a new accounting system, which required a comprehensive
reconciliation of physical inventory counts to book records. These adjustments demonstrate the inherent uncertainty in this estimate.
Going
forward, our inventory valuation is subject to risk from rapid changes in product technology and customer demand, particularly as we
continue to evolve our simulator hardware lineup. A deterioration in demand for existing hardware models or the introduction of new products
that render current inventory obsolete could require additional write-downs beyond those already recorded. Management reviews inventory
for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs and Technological Feasibility and Useful Life
We
capitalize software development costs once technological feasibility is established and cease capitalization when the product is available
for general release. As of June 30, 2026, capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $4,877,603, and
amortization expense was $755,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $433,058 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Two
estimates embedded in this balance involve significant judgment. First, the determination of when technological feasibility is achieved
affects the amount of costs eligible for capitalization versus those that must be expensed as incurred. An earlier or later feasibility
determination could materially change the amount capitalized in any given period. Second, we amortize capitalized software costs over
an estimated useful life of three years. If the actual useful life of our software products proves shorter than three years due to technological
change or loss of market relevance, we would be required to accelerate amortization or record an impairment charge. Conversely, if useful
lives are longer than estimated, our amortization expense may be overstated. Given the $4,877,603 net balance subject to this estimate,
a change in the estimated useful life from three years to two years would increase annual amortization expense by approximately $813,000,
which would be material to our results of operations.
