Exhibits 8 SIGNATURES 9 2 Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements, including without limitation forward-looking statements made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements as to our future operating results; plans for the marketing of our services; future economic conditions; the effect of our market and product development efforts; and expectations or plans relating to the implementation or realization of our strategic goals and future growth, including through potential future acquisitions. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to future sales, earnings, cash flow, results of operations, use of cash and other measures of financial performance, as well as statements relating to future dividend payments. Other forward-looking statements may be identified through the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “expectations,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “targets,” “forecasts,” “strategy,” and other words of similar meaning in connection with the discussion of future operating or financial performance. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which we operate, and the beliefs and assumptions made by management. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Investors, therefore, are cautioned against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. 3 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS VERTICAL DATA INC.

F- 4 VERTICAL DATA INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Vertical Data Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on May 3, 2024 and has a fiscal year-end of September 30. The Company is primarily focused on the sale of artificial intelligence related hardware. The Company hopes to expand its service offerings in the future to include technology consulting, design and engineering, project management, systems integration, system installation and facilities management. The Company’s corporate office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The accompanying notes to the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of ASC 270, Interim Reporting and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. To that extent, footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s latest audited financial statements has been omitted. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) promulgated in the United States of America. The financial statements include Vertical Data Inc. and its subsidiaries Vertical Data Nordica (“VD Nordica”) and VDCA Inc. as of June 30, 2026. VD Nordica and VDCA Inc. were established in Sweden and Canada, respectively, for the purpose of conducting business operations in those countries. To that extent, the company owns 85% of the outstanding shares of VD Nordica with the remaining 15% ownership presented as non-controlling interest on the face of our financial statements. Further, VDCA Inc. did not commence principal operations as of June 30, 2026. The Company’s fiscal year-end is September 30. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services”. To that extent, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC Topic by applying the following five steps: ● Step 1-Identify the contract(s) with a customer ● Step 2-Identify the performance obligations in the contract ● Step 3-Determing the transaction price ● Step 4-Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract ● Step 5-Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation IT Equipment Sales The Company’s IT equipment sales contracts with its customers currently contain a single performance obligation comprised solely of the sale of IT equipment. To that extent, the Company does not provide any installation or customization services at this time that might be considered a separate performance obligation. Further, as noted above, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the equipment to the customer at the agreed upon location. The Company does not extend payment terms to its customers; payment for equipment is received via wire transfer at or before delivery. When the Company receives consideration from a customer in advance of transferring the equipment, the amount received is recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue upon delivery of the equipment to the customer at the agreed-upon location, which is the point at which control transfers. During the interim period ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a $ 9.0 million customer prepayment primarily related to the future sale of computer equipment to the customer. The Company expects to recognize the amount to revenue during the period ended December 31, 2026. F- 5 Billing Service Revenue The Company enters into arrangements under which it provides billing services on behalf of third-party vendors to end customers. Under such arrangements, the Company bills the end customer for the full amount of goods or services provided by the vendor, retains a portion of the amount billed as consideration for its billing services, and remits the remainder to the vendor. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that it was the agent in these transactions and therefore recognized revenue on a net basis. The Company’s revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 disaggregated by service type was as follows: SCHEDULE OF REVENUE DISAGGREGATED BY SERVICE 2026 2025 2026 2025 Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 IT hardware sales $ - $ - $ 625,000 $ 3,666,000 Billing service revenue 247,212 - 247,212 - Total revenue $ 247,212 $ - $ 872,212 $ 3,666,000 Translation of Foreign Operations The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated as follows: ● assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; ● equity is translated at historical exchange rates; and ● income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had one operating subsidiary with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The relevant translation rates are as follows: SCHEDULE OF RELEVANT TANSLATION RATES Period End June 30, 2026 Average 9 Months Ended June 30, 2026 Average 3 Months Ended June 30, 2026 USD U.S. Dollar 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 SEK Swedish Krona 0.1031 0.1081 0.1067 Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable entity are initially recorded using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the applicable exchange rate at each reporting date. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions and from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they arise. Non-Controlling Interest In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Further, for less than wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company will present on the face of its consolidated financial statements i) the amounts of consolidated net income and consolidated comprehensive income and ii) the related amounts of each attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the fair value of our underlying shares, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of our Common Stock, the risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield of our Common Stock. Segments The Company currently reports under a single operating segment, which constitutes all of the consolidated entity. Further, the Company’s CODM, which is its CEO, reviews the entity-wide operating results and performance. As such, the measure of profit or loss for the segment is net loss as presented in our consolidated statement of operations. Concentrations of Credit Risk, Customers and Vendors Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances with financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk related to its cash balances. The Company’s revenues are concentrated among a limited number of customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, one customer accounted for approximately 100% of total revenue. For the nine months ended June 30, 2026, customers representing 10% or more of revenue accounted for 100% of total revenue. The loss of a significant customer or a material reduction in business with such customer could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company also purchases equipment and services from a limited number of vendors. As of June 30, 2026, 100% of the Company’s vendor deposits were associated with one vendor. The Company’s operations may therefore be affected by its ability to obtain equipment and services from these vendors on acceptable terms and within required delivery timelines. The Company operates primarily in the United States and, through its majority-owned subsidiary VD Nordica, has commenced operations in Sweden. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026, substantially all of the Company’s revenue was generated from customers located in United States. The Company’s foreign operations expose it to risks associated with foreign currency movements and operating in foreign jurisdictions. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the new standard on September 30, 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements. F- 6 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new ASU to its financial statements. 3.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our most recent audited financial statements and related notes. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis constitutes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other future period. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim and annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in Company’s previously filed Form 10-K. Further, the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been prepared in accordance with Item 303 of Regulation S-K. Overview Vertical Data Inc. is a systems and solutions technology provider delivering high performance compute solutions to enterprise and data center clients. We distribute computer systems and information technology (“IT”) systems including graphics processing unit (“GPU”) servers, storage solutions, system components, software, networking and communications equipment, and related complementary products and services. We distribute technology products from original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) as well as suppliers of next-generation technologies and delivery models such as converged and hyper-converged infrastructure. We purchase peripherals, IT systems, systems components, software, and networking equipment from a network of suppliers, consisting of mainly two vendors, and sell them to our data center and enterprise customers. The Company also engages in the coordination and provision of data center services and hosting services for our customers. Our Company’s business model focuses on supporting the demand for enterprise AI compute capability. We are characterized by high volumes of sales and price sensitivity by our end users. The market for IT products is generally characterized by declining unit prices and short product life cycles. We set our sales price based on the market supply and demand characteristics for each particular product or bundle of products we distribute and services we provide. In addition, we try to provide just-in-time delivery of the IT products to avoid taking significant inventory in order to ensure positive working capital cycles and to ensure our product offerings tie with current market demands. We are highly dependent on the end-market demand for IT products and on our partners’ strategic initiatives and business models. This end market demand is influenced by many factors including the introduction of new IT products and software by OEMs, replacement cycles for existing IT products, trends toward AI computing, overall economic growth and general business activity. A difficult and challenging economic environment may also lead to consolidation or decline in the IT industries and increased price-based competition We are an early-stage company. Our financial results reflect our investment in building a direct sales force for revenue-producing initiatives and the development of a business development team for identifying target customers and key equipment and hardware suppliers. We are a value-added reseller of best-in-class technology and computing solutions to data centers. Our mission is to expand the availability of high-performance computing to the global landscape. We accomplish this by providing infrastructure hardware and services to data centers and enterprises looking to utilize high performance compute such as machine learning and inference. We intend to make deliberate and substantial investments in support of our mission and long-term growth. For example, we have invested in building a team of expert and experienced consultants and business development personnel that is responsible for development and expansion of our customer base and our technology supplier base. We also plan to make significant investments in sales and marketing and incentives to grow and retain our customer base. Our priorities are to (a) continue to invest in identifying best-in-class technologies that will enable us to expand our product offerings, (b) establishing and extending our product offerings in new jurisdictions, and (c) expand our product and service offerings that are related to and complimentary of our existing product offerings. Our current business is highly scalable with relatively minimal incremental spend in adding consulting resources to our sales and business development personnel. We will continue to manage our fixed-cost base in conjunction with our market entry plans and focus our variable spend on marketing, customer experience and support to become the value-added reseller of choice for customers and to maintain favorable relationships with suppliers. We also expect to improve our profitability over time as our revenue and gross margin expand as customer relationships mature and expand, and our variable marketing expenses and fixed costs stabilize or grow at a slower rate. Our path to profitability is based on the acceleration of positive contribution profit growth driven by increased revenue and gross margin generation from ongoing customer acquisition, strong customer retention, improved monetization from increased sales volume, as well as scale benefits from investments in our general and administrative functions. On an adjusted EBITDA basis, we expect to achieve profitability when total contribution profit exceeds the fixed costs of our business, which depends, in part, on the number of customers that have access to our product offerings and the other factors summarized in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. 4 We distribute our products and technology solutions through direct sales channels managed by our team of consultants in addition to our own direct-to-customer platforms and web pages. The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 3, 2024, and our corporate office is currently located in Las Vegas, Nevada. During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, the Company purchased an 85% ownership interest in VD Nordica. VD Nordica was established to assist in the development of data centers in Sweden and commenced principal operations during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has funded its operations primarily through ongoing sales of equipment and GPU compute capacity to its customers and through private equity offerings to investors. During the nine months ended June 30, 2026, our common stock sales resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. Further, during July of 2026, the Company sold an additional 762,802 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $2,313,372. The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through private equity offerings as well as cash generated from its ongoing business operations. The Company purchases equipment from certain suppliers to sell to its customers. However, as of June 30, 2026, the Company has not entered into any long-term commitments or contractual obligations with those suppliers to purchase equipment. Further, while the Company entered into a lease agreement during October of 2024, the agreement is on a month-to-month basis and we do not expect the agreement to have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.

Accordingly, the drivers of our future financial results, as well as the components of such results, may not be comparable to our historical or future results of operations. Our financial results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Revenue $ 247,212 $ - $ 872,212 $ 3,666,000 Cost of sales - - 482,900 3,598,000 Gross margin $ 247,212 $ - $ 389,312 $ 68,000 Operating expenses: Contract labor - 245,050 234,066 615,406 Professional services 191,299 80,102 514,639 234,661 Server space & energy - - 187,047 - Salaries - 45,000 - 150,000 Travel and entertainment 140,761 34,707 231,533 118,228 Stock-based compensation 755,302 343,643 1,776,586 1,788,375 Software expense 82,694 17,891 167,072 36,896 Commissions and fees - 159 58,520 68,264 Other 322,231 31,533 447,560 96,709 Total operating expenses 1,492,287 798,085 3,617,023 3,108,539 Loss from operations (1,245,075 ) (798,085 ) (3,227,711 ) (3,040,539 ) Net loss $ (1,245,075 ) $ (798,085 ) $ (3,227,711 ) $ (3,040,539 ) Comparison of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 Revenue Total revenue was $247,212 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue increased by $247,212, driven by billing services provided to a customer during the current period that were not provided in the comparative period. There were no equipment sales during either the current or comparative period. Total revenue was $872,212 and $3,666,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue decreased by $2,793,788, or 76%, due to a reduction in the number of products sold during the current period as compared to the prior comparable period, partially offset by billing services revenue during the current period of $247,212. Revenue decreased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of orders. Certain transactions expected to close during the quarter were delayed as customer decision-making and procurement cycles extended and supplier and inventory lead times lengthened, resulting in deliveries shifting into subsequent periods. We believe the revenue decrease is not indicative of underlying demand trends. We have continued to expand our sales pipeline, which we believe supports increased customer adoption and conversion of opportunities, and we expect revenue to improve as delayed transactions progress and deliveries occur. However, revenue may vary from period to period based on the timing of customer orders, deliveries, and customer acceptance, among other factors. Cost of Sales Total cost of sales was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as there were no equipment sales during either of these periods. Total cost of sales was $482,900 and $3,598,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cost of sales decreased by $3,115,100, or 87%, due to the reduction in equipment sales. 6 Operating Expenses Total operating expense was approximately $1.5 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating expense increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 87%, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation of approximately $412,000, professional services expense of approximately $111,000, travel and entertainment expense of $106,000, software expense of approximately $65,000 and other expenses of approximately $291,000, partially offset by decreases in salaries expense of approximately $45,000 and contract labor costs of approximately $245,000. Total operating expense was approximately $3.6 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating expense increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 16%, primarily due to increases in professional services expense of approximately $280,000, server space and energy storage of approximately $187,000, software expense of approximately $130,000, travel and entertainment expense of approximately $113,000 and other expense of approximately $351,000, partially offset by decreases in commissions and fees of approximately $10,000, contract labor costs of approximately $381,000, salaries expense of $150,000 and stock-based compensation expense of approximately $12,000. Critical Accounting Estimates Please refer to our 2025 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates as compared to our most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the new standard on September 30, 2025. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new ASU to its financial statements. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item, as disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2025. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 7 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
