Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Datavault AI Inc, formerly known as WiSA Technologies, Inc., and before then Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries also referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”), was originally formed as a limited liability company in Delaware on July 23, 2010. The Company’s business is to deliver the best-in-class data management and monetization, as well as using wireless audio to transmit data and audio for consumer use. Datavault stands at the forefront of innovation, delivering cutting-edge Web 3.0 data management and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions to a global audience.

On May 20, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced asset purchase of technology assets, customer contracts, trademarks, and other intellectual property (collectively, the “CSI Acquired Assets”) from CompuSystems, Inc. (“CSI”). CSI is a provider of registration, data analytics, and lead management services for live events, offering customer support to clients in the trade, association, corporate, and government event markets. The results of operations of CSI are included in the audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 since the date of acquisition. Following the acquisition, the Company began operating the CSI Acquired Assets under the brand name “Event Citadel.”

NASDAQ Compliance

On July 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Office of General Counsel of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”) as required by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel’s (the “Panel”) decision dated April 5, 2024.

The Panel has determined to impose a monitoring period (the “Monitor Period”), pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). If, during the Monitor Period, which lasts until July 3, 2025, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (“Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond and present to the Panel as provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.

First Bid Price Deficiency

On April 29, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company in a letter that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 (a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as required by a hearing panel’s decision on April 5, 2024. The Company is subject to monitoring for a period of one year from the date of the letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period. Instead, the Staff will issue a delist determination letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with a hearings panel. The Company will have the opportunity to respond and present to the panel.

Second Bid Price Deficiency

On May 6, 2025, the Company received a written notification (the “May 2025 Nasdaq Letter”) from the Staff that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) Minimum Bid Price Requirement, because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The May 2025 Nasdaq Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the common stock, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “DVLT.”

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days from the date of the May 2025 Nasdaq Letter, or until November 3, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price of the common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to regain compliance with such requirement during such second compliance period.

Nasdaq Compliance Regained October 10, 2025

On October 10, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for the Company’s common stock. As previously disclosed, on May 6, 2025, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

The Letter states that for 10 consecutive business days from September 26, 2025 through October 9, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at least $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and this matter is now closed.

Third Bid Price Deficiency

On February 24, 2026, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our shares of common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we were no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq. Rule 5550(a)(2) of Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules, we have been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 24, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 24, 2026, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, we would be required to provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during this second 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Reverse Stock Split

April 2024 Reverse Stock Split

On April 4, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a 1-for-150 reverse stock split (the “April 2024 Reverse Stock Split”) of our outstanding shares of common stock and authorized the filing of a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split. On April 12, 2024, the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split was effected and the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted. All common stock share numbers, warrants to purchase common stock, prices and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split. The common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on April 15, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, the information presented in this Report gives effect to the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Datavault AI, Inc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, WISA Technologies Korea, LTD, a Korean limited company, which was established in September 2022, and WiSA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any change in previously reported net loss, total assets or stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, crypto assets, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts at one financial institution. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s crypto assets are held with Biconomy which is a Chinese based crypto custodian.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located throughout the world. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and may, in certain circumstances, require full or partial payment in advance of shipping. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there wasno allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadtwo customers accounting for 65% and 32% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, the Company hadthree customers accounting for 68%,12% and 11% of accounts receivable. The Company hadtwo customers accounting for 51% and 26% of its total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company hadfour customers accounting for 29%,19%,18% and 10% of its total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company’s products, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

The Company relies on sole-source suppliers to manufacture some of the components used in its product. The Company’s manufacturers and suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet demand. The Company is heavily dependent on a single contractor in China for assembly and testing of its products, a single contractor in Japan for the production of its transmit semiconductor chip and a single contractor in China for the production of its receive semiconductor chip.

The Company also generates revenue through the licensing of its proprietary intellectual property and through the provision of live event and media-related services. Revenue derived from intellectual property licensing arrangements may be concentrated among a limited number of counterparties and is subject to risks including the licensee’s ability to commercialize the underlying technology, maintain sufficient funding, and comply with contractual payment terms. Additionally, certain licensing arrangements may include variable consideration or milestone-based payments, which could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Revenue from the Company’s live event and media services business is dependent on the successful execution of events, customer demand, and the continuation of relationships with key customers and partners. This line of business may be subject to seasonality, event timing, and external factors such as economic conditions, venue availability, and potential disruptions to scheduled events. The Company may also rely on a limited number of significant customers within this segment, which could result in revenue concentration and variability in operating results from period to period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and are generally not interest bearing. The Company reviews its trade receivables aging to identify specific customers with known disputes or collection issues. The Company exercises judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as it evaluates historical bad debt trends and changes to customers’ financial conditions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wasno allowance for credit losses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings and capital lease liabilities approximates fair value based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans and capital leases with similar terms. The Company’s Convertible note payable, Warrant liability, Crypto assets, and NYIAX Investment are the only financial instruments that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis.

Inventories

Inventories, principally purchased components, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the new cost basis.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and filing fees relating to public offerings, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against public offering proceeds upon the effectiveness of an offering. In the event that an offering is terminated, deferred offering costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had capitalized $5.5 million and $0, respectively, of deferred offering costs.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives oftwo tofive years. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital lease are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life or term of the lease. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Convertible Financial Instruments

The Company bifurcates conversion options and warrants from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options and warrants should be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.

Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.

Warrants for Common Shares, Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, and Derivative Financial Instruments

Warrants for common shares, convertible redeemable preferred shares, and derivative financial instruments are classified as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Contracts which (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception are classified as equity or liabilities. The Company assesses classification of its warrants for shares of common stock and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required.

Product Warranty

The Company’s products are generally subject to aone year warranty, which provides for the repair, rework, or replacement of products (at the Company’s option) that fail to perform within the stated specification. The Company has assessed its historical claims and, to date, product warranty claims have not been significant. The Company will continue to assess if there should be a warranty accrual going forward.

Revenue Recognition

The Company historically generates revenue primarily from two product categories which are the sale of consumer audio products (“Consumer Audio Products”) as well as the sale of components (“Components”). With the closing of the CSI acquisition, the Company also generates revenue from registration, data analytics, and lead management services for live events, such as trade shows and conferences, in both the corporate and government sectors (“Live Events”). The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers customer purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer for Consumer Audio Products and Components. The Company also enters into contracts with customers for providing Live Events with terms ofthree years. The contract typically terminates after the close of the last event specified in the contract, unless both parties agree in writing to extend it. There are no termination-for-convenience clauses in the CSI contract. Contracts can only be terminated for breach or non-performance and in that circumstance, the Company must be compensated for all services up to the date of termination. Therefore, a standard CSI contract is typically not shorter than its stated term.

Revenues on Consumer Audio Products and Components, net of expected discounts, are recognized when the performance obligations of the contract with the customer are satisfied and when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer, typically when products, which have been determined to be the only distinct performance obligations, are shipped to the customer. Expected costs of assurance warranties and claims are recognized as expense.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Revenues generated from Live Events contracts have a single performance obligation, event preparation and management. A standard CSI contract contains fixed fees for services and pass through costs and other expenses that are variable depending on the number of supplies used or personnel costs incurred which are passed through to the client and are recognized on a gross basis in revenue as costs to fulfill the contract. The contract also includes rebates payable to the client which the Company estimates as variable consideration using the most likely amount method at the outset of the contract. The entire transaction price relates to the event preparation and management performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as services are rendered using the input method. The Company uses the input method of labors hours expended as it provides the best depiction of the transfer of services to the client.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company for Consumer Audio Products and Components from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are excluded from revenue. The Company’s revenue arrangements do not contain significant financing components.

For Consumer Audio and Components, sales to certain distributors are made under arrangements which provide the distributors with price adjustments, price protection, stock rotation and other allowances under certain circumstances. The Company does not provide its customers with a contractual right of return. However, the Company accepts limited returns on a case-by-case basis. These returns, adjustments and other allowances are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration.

If a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional before we transfer a good or service to the customer, those amounts are classified as contract liabilities which are included in other current liabilities when the payment is made or it is due, whichever is earlier.

Patent and Intellectual Property Licensing

Revenues generated from patent and intellectual property licensing arrangements are derived from granting customers rights to use the Company’s patented technologies and related intellectual property. The Company evaluates each arrangement to determine whether the license represents (i) a right-to-use intellectual property at a point in time or (ii) a right-to-access intellectual property over time in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-58 through 55-64.

Licenses that provide customers with a right-to-use functional intellectual property, where the underlying intellectual property is not expected to be significantly modified or enhanced by the Company during the license term, are recognized at a point in time when control of the license transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers upon execution of the agreement in which the customer can use and benefit from the intellectual property.

Licenses that require the Company to undertake ongoing activities that significantly affect the intellectual property are accounted for as right-to-access licenses and revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Certain arrangements include fixed upfront license fees, sales-based or usage-based royalties, or a combination of both. Fixed consideration is recognized in accordance with the timing of the underlying license (point in time or over time). Sales-based or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property are recognized in the period in which the subsequent sales or usage occurs in accordance with the sales- or usage-based royalty exception under ASC 606-10-55-65.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, net revenue consisted of the following:

Contract Balances

The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts to partially offset prepayments required by our vendors on long lead time materials as well as for Live Events. Amounts collected prior to the fulfillment of the performance obligation are considered contract liabilities and classified as customer advances within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are recorded when the Company has a conditional right to consideration for our completed performance under the contracts. Accounts receivables are recorded when the right to this consideration becomes unconditional. The Company has$1.7 million and$0.1 million of contract assets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are recorded in the current assets section on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to collect 100% of the contract assets as of December 31, 2025 in the next twelve months. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized$0.1 million of revenue from contract liabilities that were included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.

Revenue by Geographic Area

In general, revenue disaggregated by geography (See Note 12) is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of our business and provides meaningful disaggregation of our results of operations. Since the Company operates inone segment, all financial segment and product line information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

As part of our adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company elected to use the following practical expedients: (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (ii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; (iii) not to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.

In addition, the Company doesnot disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award on the grant date.

Restricted stock units give an employee an interest in Company stock, but they have no tangible value until vesting is complete. Restricted stock units and restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date and recognized as expense over the related service or performance period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Crypto Assets

We hold crypto assets primarily for operational purposes and to support short-term liquidity needs within our normal operating cycle. We reasonably expect to convert such assets to cash or utilize them in operations within a short period of time, typically within one year. All of our crypto assets are held in Bitcoin. Consistent with this intent and realization pattern, we have classified all crypto assets as current assets in our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 210-10 and ASC 350-60.

We do not hold crypto assets for long-term investment, speculative, or collateral purposes, and we do not engage in trading activities involving crypto assets. Our crypto asset holdings are considered less liquid than cash and cash equivalents and may not serve as an equivalent source of liquidity during periods of market stress.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and include salaries, consulting expenses and an allocation of facility costs.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are $0.5 million and $0.7 million respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss represents the changes in equity of an enterprise, other than those resulting from stockholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive loss may include certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss.

Foreign Currency

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign operations are measured using currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currencies. Accordingly, for these operations all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as of the respective balance sheet date. Expense items are translated using the weighted average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Cumulative gains and losses from the translation of these operations’ financial statements are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, while foreign currency transaction gains or losses, resulting from re-measuring local currency to the U.S. dollar are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense, net and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Under the two-class method, net income would be attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights.

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, Series A 8% Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, (“Series A Preferred Stock”), warrants exercisable for common stock, restricted stock units and shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Net loss is adjusted for any deemed dividends to preferred stockholders to compute income available to common stockholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, warrants to purchase 18,011 shares of common stock,1,050,000 shares of restricted stock and 14 shares underlying restricted stock units, have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

For the year ended December 31, 2024, warrants to purchase 13,534,334 shares of common stock,1,027,367 shares of restricted stock,64,183 shares of restricted stock issued under an inducement grant, and 14 shares underlying restricted stock units, have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because the inclusion would be antidilutive.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is “more-likely-than-not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recognized valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company uses a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing in the consolidated financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognizedno interest and penalties.

Costs to Fulfill Contracts

The Company capitalizes certain pre-show indirect costs that are incurred to fulfill customer contracts when those costs relate directly to the contract, generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recoverable. Capitalized costs primarily include indirect pre-show setup activities, such as venue deposits, equipment preparation, design and technical pre-production efforts, and other pre-show fulfillment activities. The Company expenses all direct costs related to the execution of the show and all post-show costs as incurred, as those activities do not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 340-40.

Capitalized pre-show costs are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the related services to the customer, which the Company determines based on the percentage of completion of each contract. For example, if a contract is 20% complete as of the reporting date, 20% of the associated capitalized indirect pre-show costs are amortized. Amortization of costs to fulfill a contract is recorded in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At December 31, 2025, the balance of capitalized costs to fulfill contracts was $0.3 million all of which is classified as a current asset. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.5 million of amortization related to capitalized contract fulfillment costs. No impairment losses were recognized during the period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to help investors better understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities. Furthermore, the update improves disclosures used to assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions. The update is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis but does not impact interim financial statements. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2025 prospectively and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60) (“new crypto assets standard”). The new crypto assets standard requires certain crypto assets to be measured at fair value separately on the balance sheet with changes reported in the statement of operations each reporting period. The new crypto assets standard also enhances the other intangible asset disclosure requirements by requiring the name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant crypto asset holding. The Company first received crypto assets during the third quarter of 2025 and therefore adopted ASU 2023-08 as of that date. Because the Company had no crypto asset holdings prior to that period, no retrospective application or recast of prior-period financial statements was required. The adoption did not have an impact on previously reported results.

In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-02, which amended ASC 450-10-S99-1 to remove the text of SAB Topic 5.FF, “Accounting for Obligations to Safeguard Crypto-Assets an Entity Holds for Its Platform Users.” The amendment reflects the SEC staff’s issuance of SAB 122, which rescinded SAB 121 in January 2025. The adoption of ASU 2025-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2025-06 Internal-use software issued in September 2025, ASU 2025-06 updates guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to streamline accounting for internal-use software, particularly for agile development methods. This change was a priority for stakeholders who found it difficult to differentiate project stages for capitalizing development costs in iterative environments.

ASU 2025-05 Measurement of credit losses published in July 2025, this ASU improves guidance for measuring credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets. It offers optional guidance to address challenges entities faced applying Topic 326 to these assets. This update aims to simplify the process for entities, such as private companies, that found it complex to develop reasonable forecasts for credit loss estimation.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-04 Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments: The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The interim effective date was amended by Update 2025-01 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”), clarifying the interim reporting date when an entity must adopt ASU 2024-03. According to ASU 2025-01, ASU 2024-03 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

2.Liquidity

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and reported net cash used in operating activities of approximately $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 million and digital assets, consisting primarily of Bitcoin, with a fair value of approximately $92.2 million. The Company’s digital assets are company-owned, unrestricted, and classified as current assets.

Based on the Company’s current liquidity position and historical operating cash usage, management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of digital assets is subject to market volatility; however, such assets are actively traded and may be liquidated, if necessary, to support operating needs. Accordingly, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated for the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

The January 2024 Promissory Notes did not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the January 2024 Promissory Notes). The January 2024 Promissory Notes were not convertible into shares of common stock or Series B Preferred Stock.

5.Borrowings, continued

Between the dates of January 26, 2024 and February 2, 2024, the January 2024 Promissory Notes were repaid in full following the exercise of certain of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock purchase warrants for a total of 29,322 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The 2024 Promissory Notes were settled via the payment of $0.7 million in cash and a $0.3 million offset to the amount due by one of the investors from the exercise of 9,322 Series B Preferred Stock purchase warrants.

In connection with the issuance of the January 2024 Warrant Shares (see Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements), the fair value of the warrants and the original issue discount for interest were recorded as debt discounts totaling $1.3 million. The debt discounts were to be amortized to interest expense over the respective term using the effective interest method. In connection with the full repayment of the January 2024 Promissory Notes, the Company recognized $1.3 million of interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2024.

DV Convertible Note

In connection with the DV Closing at December 31, 2024, the Company issued the DV Convertible Note in a principal amount of $10.0 million due on the third anniversary of the DV Closing. The Company agreed to pay interest to EOS Holdings on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the note at the rate of five and twelve hundredths percent (5.12%) per annum, accruing from the DV Closing.

The DV Convertible Note can be converted at EOS Holdings’ option, partially or entirely, into shares of common stock, any time after the maturity date until the DV Convertible Note is fully paid off. The DV Convertible Note uses a conversion price equaling to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average VWAP (as defined in the DV Convertible Note) during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the conversion date subject to a floor price of $1.116 per share. At EOS Holdings’ sole discretion, upon a change of control (as defined in the DV Convertible Note), (i) the Company shall cause any successor entity to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the DV Convertible Note, (ii) pay or cause to be paid to EOS Holdings the EOS Holdings Note Balance (as defined below) in cash, or (iii) pay, at the closing of such change of control, in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the DV Convertible Note, an amount in cash or equivalent common stock to the amount EOS Holdings would have been paid if it had converted the entire balance outstanding under the DV Convertible Note into shares of common stock immediately prior to such closing, at the conversion price.

The parties agreed that the Company may apply up to 25% of the amount of any payment to be made to EOS Holdings pursuant to the DV Convertible Note towards satisfaction of the amount, if any, owed by EOS Holdings to the Company under those certain senior secured promissory notes, dated June 13, 2024, August 7, 2024, September 23, 2024, and December 23, 2024 (collectively, the “Secured Notes” and the outstanding amount under the Secured Notes, collectively, the “EOS Holdings Note Balance”). The EOS Holdings Note Balance on the maturity date will be automatically reduced by the amount of the EOS Holdings Note Balance.

Pursuant to the DV Convertible Note, if, at any time while the DV Convertible Note is outstanding, the Company enters into any capital raising or financing transaction, including without limitation any issuance by the Company of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents (as defined in the DV Convertible Note) for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), then the Company shall first pay to EOS Holdings at least 10% of the gross proceeds of such Subsequent Financing to redeem all or a portion of the DV Convertible Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, plus liquidated damages, if any, and any other amounts then owing to EOS Holdings. If the aggregate gross proceeds of Subsequent Financings reach or exceed $50.0 million, then the Company shall repay the DV Convertible Note in full, including accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, if any, and any other amounts, then owing to EOS Holdings.

The DV Convertible Note includes customary event of default provisions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the DV Convertible Note and all amounts due thereunder shall become, upon demand by EOS Holdings, immediately due and payable in cash.

CSI Convertible Notes

In connection with the CSI Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the CSI Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million, each due on the second anniversary of the closing (the “CSI Maturity Date”). The Company agreed to pay interest to CSI on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the First Convertible Note and Second Convertible Note at the rate offive percent (5%) per annum, and on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Initial Convertible Note at the rate often percent (10%) per annum. The Company agreed to pay interest accruing from thesix-month anniversary of the closing on the First Convertible Note and from thenine-month anniversary of the closing on the Second Convertible Note on the unpaid balance of such principal amount no less frequently than quarterly per calendar quarter. The payment of the accrued interest shall occur on the last business day of each calendar quarter.

The Company evaluated the CSI Convertible Notes under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires an assessment of embedded terms and features to determine whether any embedded derivatives must be bifurcated from the host contract when their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and closely related to those of the host instrument. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that none of the embedded features in the CSI Convertible Notes required bifurcation or separate derivative accounting. At issuance, the CSI Convertible Notes were measured at fair value, with an aggregate initial fair value of $9.7 million (see Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements).

In December 2025, the holders of the Initial Convertible Note fully converted the note balance to 4,569,822 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2025, the CSI Convertible Notes had a carrying value of $5.9 million, reflecting an unamortized discount of $4.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized discount accretion expense of $1.2 million related to the CSI Convertible Notes.

6.Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.

●Level 1 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 investments generally does not require significant judgment, and the estimation is not difficult.
●Level 2 – Pricing is provided by third-party sources of market information obtained through investment advisors. The Company does not adjust for or apply any additional assumptions or estimates to the pricing information received from its advisors.
●Level 3 – Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments involves the most management judgment and subjectivity.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 by level within the fair value hierarchy, are as follows:

Warrant Liabilities

On March 26, 2024, the Company amended the terms of certain warrant agreements to remove certain exercise price reset, right to reprice and/or share adjustment provisions (“Reset Provisions”) following a reverse split, in addition to other revisions to the warrants. In April 2024, the Company effected the April 2024 Reverse Stock Split thereby removing the Reset Provisions (“Reset Amendment Effective Date”) and in accordance with provisions in certain of the warrants issued warrants to purchase an additional 5,602,693 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Company remeasured the warrant liability for each of the amended warrants following the Reset Amendment Effective Date and recorded that amount to change in fair value of warrant liabilities with a corresponding increase to warrant liabilities. Following the Reset Amendment Effective Date, such warrants were no longer deemed to be liability warrants but were now classified as equity warrants. In connection with this reclassification, the Company reclassed approximately $41.9 million from warrant liabilities to additional paid in capital.

The following table includes a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. For December 31, 2025, we do not consider the fair value of the warrants to be material to the financial statements. For December 31, 2024, the fair value of the common warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes Model based on the following key inputs and assumptions: common stock price of $2.05; exercise price of $1.83 to $1,574; expected yield of 0.0%; expected volatility of 162.8% to 185.0%; risk-free interest rate of 4.1% to 4.3% and expected life of 2.9 to 4.4 years.

7.Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

Series B Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrants

Through various dates during the year ended December 31, 2024, holders of Series B Preferred Stock Warrants exercised their warrants into 29,322 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $35.72 per share. For each exercised Series B Preferred Stock Warrant, the holder receivedone share of Series B Preferred Stock andone New Common Stock Warrant. Each New Common Stock Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 2 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $22.23 per share. Due to certain price protections included with the New Common Stock Warrants, the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and thus are subject to liability treatment. Total proceeds from the exercise of the 29,322 Series B Preferred Stock Warrants amounted to $1.0 million and the remaining fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock Warrant Liability immediately prior to the exercise of $0.6 million resulted in a total of $1.6 million recorded for the new 29,322 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, of which $1.2 million was allocated to the New Common Stock Warrants liability based on their fair value and $0.4 million was allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock using the residual method of allocation. In connection with this new issuance, the Company recorded additional discounts to the Series B Preferred Stock for the New Common Stock Warrants of $1.1 million and issuance costs of $61,000. The Company also accretes to Series B Preferred Stock, against additional paid-in-capital as a deemed dividend, for the difference between the total proceeds of $35.72 per share of Series B Preferred Stock and the full redemption price of $100 per share. The Company uses the effective interest method to calculate the accretion amount for each period.

Issuance costs of $44,000 were expensed on the date of issuance of the New Common Stock Warrants, as such warrants were recorded at fair value.

Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock

Through various dates during the year ended December 31, 2024, the holders of 5,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted their shares into 8,038 shares of common stock.

Unamortized discounts to the Series B Preferred Stock of $5.4 million were immediately recorded as a deemed dividend as of repurchase date. The remaining fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock Warrant Liability of $0.8 million was adjusted against additional paid-in-capital on repurchase date.

8.Stock-Based Compensation

2018 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan

On January 30, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the establishment of the Company’s 2018 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and termination of its Carve-Out Plan. Under the LTIP, the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the LTIP pursuant to awards of Restricted Shares or Options will be limited to 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which calculation shall be made on the first trading day of each new fiscal year; provided that, in any year no more than 8% of the common stock or derivative securitization with common stock underlying 8% of the common stock may be issued in any fiscal year. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders on January 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the LTIP to: (i) increase the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued in any single fiscal year only for the 2023 fiscal year under the LTIP from 8% of the shares of common stock outstanding to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding (which amount equates to the maximum amount that may be issued in the aggregate under the LTIP), and (ii) permit immediately quarterly calculations based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the first trading day of each fiscal quarter, rather than solely as of the first trading day of the fiscal year. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 15, 2024, the Company’s stockholders further approved an amendment to the LTIP to increase the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued only for the 2024 fiscal year under the LTIP from 8% of the shares of common stock outstanding to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding (which amount equates to the maximum amount that may be issued in the aggregate under the LTIP). At the annual meeting of stockholders held on December 20, 2024 stockholders voted to remove the annual share limit of common stock that may be issued for a certain fiscal year under the LTIP. As a result of this change, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to equity awards is limited to 15% of the shares of common stock outstanding, which calculation is made using the number of common stock outstanding as of the first trading day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2025, up to 63,910,037 shares of common stock are available for grants to participants under the LTIP.

The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses; the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible. At present, the Company does not believe that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance was maintained, and no deferred tax assets were shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation allowance increased by $8.6 million and $6.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $125.4 million. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will carryforward indefinitely but is subject to the 80% taxable income limitation.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $111.0 million which will begin to expire in 2039.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $0.4 million. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2039.

Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations in the event of a Section 382 ownership change. Such future limitations could result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization as a result of such an ownership change.

​​ ​ ​Years Ended​
​​December 31,​
​​2024​
Federal tax at statutory rate​21.0%
State tax, net of federal tax effect​—​
Change in valuation allowance​(9.7)​
Change in fair value of warrant liability​(12.2)​
Other​0.9​
Total tax expense (benefit)​—%

Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The aggregate changes in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 iszero.

The Company has not incurred any material tax interest or penalties as of December 31, 2025. The Company does not anticipate any significant change within 12 months of this reporting date of its uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s various tax years 2018 through 2025 remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities forthree andfour years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not accrued any penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office and warehouse facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements used to support its corporate headquarters, administrative offices, and operational activities. Lease terms range from approximately two to five years. Certain leases include renewal options that may extend the lease term; however, such options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease agreements generally require the Company to pay fixed base rent and may also include variable payments related to common area maintenance, property taxes, insurance, or other operating costs, which are expensed as incurred. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees, and the Company does not currently sublease any of its leased facilities. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments when the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of a possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.

The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Lock-up Agreements

On April 9, 2025, the Company and NYIAX entered into the Lock-Up Agreements (defined below). In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement in respect of the NYIAX Shares, pursuant to which the NYIAX Shares shall be subject to lock-up restrictions for four (4) years from the issuance (the “Datavault Lock-Up Agreement). Concurrently, NYIAX agreed to enter into (i) a lock-up agreement in respect of the Additional Shares to be issued by the Company to NYIAX pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Additional Shares shall be subject to lock-up restrictions for two (2) years from the issuance (the “Additional Lock-Up Agreement”), (ii) a lock-up agreement in respect of the consideration shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to be issued by the Company to NYIAX pursuant to that certain White Label, Co-Marketing and Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement, by and between the Company and NYIAX, dated as of March 16, 2025, pursuant to which the Consideration Shares shall be subject to lock-up restrictions for one (1) year from the issuance (the “Consideration Lock-Up Agreement”), and (iii) a lock-up agreement in respect of the Closing Shares to be issued by the Company to NYIAX pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Closing Shares shall be subject to lock-up restrictions for one (1) year from the issuance (the “Closing Lock-Up Agreement”, and together with the Datavault Lock-Up Agreement, the Additional Lock-Up Agreement, and the Consideration Lock-Up Agreement, the “Lock-Up Agreements”).

The Company accounted for the NYIAX transactions as a collaborative arrangement and allocated fair values of exchanged assets on their relative fair value. The common stock consideration of aggregate of 7,530,000 shares, including the 2,000,000 contingently issuance shares which are considered probable to be issued, was measured at the closing date of April 9, 2025 for an aggregate fair value of $4.9 million and is recorded to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The NYIAX common shares received in the aggregate of 2,150,000 were valued at $4.3 million and are recorded as an investment at fair value under the measurement alternative of ASC 321 at the close date fair value of $2 per share on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value method was determined due to the Company not having significant influence over NYIAX. Intellectual property licenses received from NYIAX represents the net amount of the shares exchanged and is expensed to research and development of $0.6 million on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company’s intellectual property license granted to NYIAX represents functional intellectual property accounted for under ASC 606 with point-in-time revenue recognition. Initial value allocated of $2.5 million is based on the fair value of the NYIAX Convertible Note. However, as the collaborative arrangement includes consideration paid to the customer, NYIAX, for distinct goods and services for which the fair value was not reasonably estimable, the transaction price was reduced for any consideration paid in excess of goods or services with a readily determinable fair value, the NYIAX Investment. Accordingly, the transaction price was reduced to zero as the excess fair value of the consideration paid to the customer was in excess of $2.5 million.

The contingently issuance shares are accounted for under ASC 718, Share-based payments as an equity-classified share-based payment to a customer. Due to the probable achievement of the performance condition on the grant date, the shares are initially recorded at the grant date fair value of $1.3 million with no subsequent remeasurement.
