Nukkleus Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 –DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nukkleus Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, were financial technology companies that were previously focused on providing software, technology solutions, customer sales and marketing, and risk management technology hardware and software solutions packages for the worldwide retail foreign exchange (“FX”) trading industry and payment services from one fiat currency to another or to digital assets.

In January 2024, Nukkleus Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ceased its general support service operations, terminating the existing customer and supplier contracts with a related party, and shifted its focus to the payment services operations. In November 2024, Nukkleus Inc. entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with a shareholder and one of our subsidiaries to sell the subsidiary that operates the payment services operations to the shareholder in consideration of GBP 1,000 (approximately $1,372 at June 30, 2025). The sale is subject to stockholder approval as required under Nasdaq rules which is still pending.

In December 2024, Nukkleus Inc entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option (the “Star Agreement”) with Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star”), the shareholders of Star (“Star Equity Holders”) and an officer of Nukkleus, acting in his capacity as the representative of the Star Equity Holders, to acquire a controlling 51% interest in Star, an Israeli corporation engaged as a supplier of generators for “iron dome” launchers and other defense products. As a result of the Settlement Agreement and subject to the closing of the acquisition of Star, Nukkleus Inc.’s business will be focused on the defense sector.

On February 14, 2025, the Board of Directors of Nukkleus Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024. This change results in a transition period from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024.

The decision to change the fiscal year end was made to align the Company’s financial reporting with the calendar year, which is expected to enhance operational efficiency, improve comparability with industry peers, and better serve the needs of shareholders. Further, the Company intends to align its fiscal year with Star.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: On December 22, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Brilliant Acquisition Corp (“Brilliant”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination”) with each of the shareholders of Nukkleus Inc. (“Old Nukk”). Pursuant to the Business Combination, Brilliant acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from the Old Nukk shareholders.

On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Brilliant changed its name to Nukkleus Inc (the “Company”) and the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NUKK. Old Nukk was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The determination was primarily based on Old Nukk’s shareholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Old Nukk’s ability to exert control over the majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and given the board of directors election and retention provisions, Old Nukk’s ability to maintain control of the board of directors on a go-forward basis, Old Nukk’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company; and old Nukk’s operations prior to the Business Combination comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Old Nukk issuing stock for the net assets of Brilliant, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Brilliant were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

While Brilliant was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Old Nukk was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Old Nukk became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Old Nukk prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of Brilliant and Old Nukk following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Old Nukk at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

Effective October 24, 2024, the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to implement a one-for-eight reverse stock split of its common stock (the “2024 Reverse Stock Split”) and increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 40,000,000 to 150,000,000 (see Note 8).

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods to give effect to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to Old Nukk shareholders during the Business Combination and the 2024 Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the disclosure of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the Business Combination and 2024 Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nukkleus Inc, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any reference in these footnotes to the applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the ASC and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Due to the Company’s inability to access complete financial data from a subsidiary classified as discontinued operations, estimates were used to present this entity’s financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (see Note 4).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 –LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of approximately $1,520,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $53,464,000 and incurred cash flow used in operating activities from continuing operations of approximately $2,981,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These are indicators of substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management of expenses and ability to obtain necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations.

If additional equity or debt financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed, its results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. Any such financing likely would be dilutive to existing stockholders and could result in significant financial operating covenants that would negatively impact the Company business.

As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

**Emerging growth company:The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. **

***Use of estimates:***The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 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. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of share-based compensation, valuation of equity-classified stock purchase warrants, valuation of liability-classified stock purchase warrants, valuation of derivative liability, classification of gains and losses on settlement of related party liabilities, the useful lives of long-lived assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and the associated valuation allowances, and estimates of financial results for a subsidiary classified as discontinued operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company used estimates to report the financial results of this subsidiary.

***Segment reporting:***ASC 280,Segment Reporting(“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is thechief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses operating results as the primary measure to manage the business. As a result of transactions entered into during the three months ended December 31, 2024 (see Note 4), the CODM determined it hasone operating segment as of June 30, 2025. Accordingly, the Company has recast the presentation of its reportable segments for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The CODM assesses performance on consolidated operating expenses as the CODM is focused on managing cash flow until a pending disposition (see Note 12) and a pending acquisition (see Note 12) are completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.

***Cash and cash equivalents:***The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company hadno cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are primarily placed with financial institutions which are of high credit quality. The Company invests cash and cash equivalents primarily in highly liquid, highly rated instruments which are uninsured. The Company may also have corporate deposit balances with financial institutions which exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these accounts.

Fair value measurements: ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following techniques noted in ASC 820:

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company’s financial instruments with a carrying value that approximates fair value consist of cash, advances, other current assets, accounts payable, due to affiliates, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, interest payable – related parties, and short-term borrowings due to their liquid or short-term nature or expected settlement dates of these instruments. If these financial instruments were recorded at fair value, they would be based on Level 1 inputs, except for short-term borrowings which would be based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively.

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, and financial assets are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. The impairment charge recognized on non-financial assets that consist of acquired intangible assets is based on Level 3 inputs, including a comparison of the Company’s results with expectations and expectation for future profits. The impairment charge recognized for financial assets that consist of investment in privately held equity securities is based on Level 3 inputs, including the global economic environment, adjustments for investment-specific developments and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds.

The Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of liability-classified stock purchase warrants and liability-classified derivative financial instruments (see Note 10).

***Related parties:***The Company considers parties to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence of the same party, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation. The Company reviews the relationships of its vendors, customers, shareholders, and board members to determine whether there are any parties meet the criteria to be considered related. Any party that is deemed to be related to the Company is referred to as an “affiliate” or “related party” in these consolidated financial statements.

Due from affiliates and notes receivable – related parties, net: Due from affiliates and notes receivable – related parties, net are contractual rights to receive cash on demand or on fixed or determinable dates and are recognized as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. Due from affiliates consist of amounts owed from affiliates of the Company for either services provided to the affiliate or expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the affiliate (see Note 11). Notes receivable – related parties, net consist of advances made to affiliates in exchange for a promissory note from the affiliate (see Note 11).

Other current assets: Other current assets primarily consist of escrow cash and prepaid miscellaneous items. The Company expects all current assets to be collected and/or realized within the next 12 months.

***Leases:***The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the contracts. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The Company’s vehicle leases may include transfer rights or options to purchase at the end of the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method, and the ROU asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with ASC 360,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360”), the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company’s historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

Note payable, loans payable – related parties, convertible notes payable: Debt issuance costs, including original issue discounts, will be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note. Debt issuance costs will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the respective debt obligation using the effective interest method. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized discount is immediately expensed.

The Company evaluates convertible notes payable in accordance with ASC 470, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470”) to determine if embedded conversion features present in the convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs are allocated proportionately to the debt host and conversion feature.

Derivative financial instruments: The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”). The Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, and how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for affect the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risk.

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including notes payable and warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate complex terms and conditions in its contracts and agreements to determine whether embedded derivatives exist. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract on the Company’s balance sheet.

An evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of the derivative issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified derivative financial instruments are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock purchase warrants: The Company accounts for stock purchase warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480,Distinguishing liabilities from equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the stock purchase warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the stock purchase warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the stock purchase warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance, modification, and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the stock purchase warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified stock purchase warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the stock purchase warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.

For issued or modified stock purchase warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the stock purchase warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability classified stock purchase warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liability is required. For modified stock purchase warrants that result in a change of classification from equity to liability, a liability is recognized equal to the fair value on the date of modification, additional paid-in capital is adjusted by the fair value of the warrant on the date of issuance, and the difference is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

***Assets held for sale:***Assets held for sale represent property, equipment, and leasehold improvements less accumulated depreciation as well as any other assets that are held for sale in conjunction with the sale of a business. The Company records assets held for sale in accordance with ASC 360 at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction. The reclassification takes place when the assets are available for immediate sale and the sale is highly probable. These conditions are usually met from the date on which a letter of intent or agreement to sell is ready for signing.

***Discontinued operations:***A component of an entity is identified as operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and financially, from the rest of the entity. Under ASC 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations” (“ASC 205-20”), a discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results, or a newly acquired business or nonprofit activity that upon acquisition is classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are presented separately from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of Operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows (see Note 4). For long-lived assets or disposals groups that are classified as held for sale but do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, the assets and liabilities are presented separately on the balance sheet of the initial period in which it is classified as held for sale.

***Advertising:***Costs related to advertising are expensed as incurred.

***Stock-based compensation:***The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all share-based awards, including stock options and stock grants, based on estimated grant-date fair values. The Company measures employee, director and nonemployee awards at the date of grant, which generally is the date at which the Company and the nonemployee reach a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.

The Company estimates the grant date fair value of each stock option award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions, including the fair value and expected volatility of the Company’s underlying common stock price on the date of grant, expected live of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The Company sets the grant date fair value of each stock grant equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to allocate compensation cost to reporting periods over the requisite service period during which the employee, board member, director, or advisor is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur, with previously recognized compensation reversed in the period that the awards are forfeited.

***Income taxes:***The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when management estimates that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pre-tax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected rates in future periods.

The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount that is initially recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in general and administrative expense.

For U.S. federal tax purposes, digital asset transactions are treated on the same tax principles as property transactions. The Company recognizes a gain or loss when digital assets are exchanged for other property, in the amount of the difference between the fair market value of the property received and the tax basis of the exchanged digital assets. Receipts of digital assets in exchange for goods or services are included in taxable income at the fair market value on the date of receipt.

***Foreign currency translation:***The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the reporting currency of the U.S. dollar. Functional currencies of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the local currency used in each entities primary economic environment, some of which are different than the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Equity transactions are translated using the historical exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction, except for the change in accumulated deficit during the year, which is the results of the operations translation process. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. As a result, amounts relating to the assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into the reporting currency are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss). The realized foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and the unrealized foreign currency exchange gain (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is included as a component of net loss from discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses from transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency are recorded as a component of other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Most of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currency of the Company. The Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

***Comprehensive loss:***Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of net loss and unrealized loss from foreign currency translation adjustment.

***Net loss per share:***Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potential dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common share equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Earnings per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of convertible notes payable. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

The following table summarizes the potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these potential shares was anti-dilutive:

NOTE 4 –DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major impact on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in ASC paragraph205-20-45-10. In the period in which the component meets the held for sale or discontinued operations criteria the major assets, other assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities shall be reported as a component of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the income (loss) of continuing operations.

***Disposition of a Subsidiary:***On November 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with a shareholder of the Company and a subsidiary of the Company to sell the subsidiary to the shareholder or his nominee subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval. As required by the Settlement Agreement, a Share Purchase Agreement was entered into between the same parties dated December 23, 2024 providing that the Company, subject to it obtaining shareholder approval, will sell the subsidiary to the officer of the Company in consideration of GBP 1,000 (approximately $1,372 at June 30, 2025).

The subsidiary comprises our financial services operating segment. As a result of the planned disposition of the subsidiary, the financial services operating segment meets the held for sale criteria of ASC 205-20. Accordingly, the historical results of operations of the financial services operating segment has been reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statement for all periods prior to the Settlement Agreement on November 8, 2024.

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management was unable to obtain complete financial data from the subsidiary due to the subsidiary’s personnel being uncooperative, not providing the information needed and loss of direct access to the subsidiary’s systems. As a result, the financial results of the discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 are based on reasonable estimates derived from historical operating trends and partial information available to the Company. Management believes the estimates used are reasonable under the circumstances.

Summary Reconciliation of Discontinued Operations

December 2024 Note: On December 3, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “December 2024 Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to a lender, in consideration of cash proceeds in the amount of $450,000 after an original issue discount of $25,000 and issuance costs of $25,000 in connection with the standby equity purchase agreement executed with the lender (the “SEPA”). The December 2024 Note matures on December 3, 2025. The SEPA was subsequently terminated in December 2024. The December 2024 Note has the following features:

Conversion rights – The December 2024 Note and accrued and unpaid interest is convertible at the option of the lender (the “Conversion Option”) into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of the lower of (i) $2.00 per share (the “Fixed Price”) and (ii)90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) during theten consecutive trailing days immediately preceding the conversion, with a floor of $0.33 (the “Floor Price”).

Interest – The December 2024 Note bears interest of 10.0% per annum. Upon an event of default, the December 2024 Note becomes immediately due and payable, with the interest increasing to 18.0%.

Optional redemption– The December 2024 Note is redeemable by the Company in the event that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock was less than the Fixed Price on the date the Company provides the redemption notice to the lender. The redemption price will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the December 2024 Note plus the 10% of the principal amount being redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”) plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The lender has ten days from the date the redemption notice is received to elect to convert all or a portion of the December 2024 Note.

*Event of Default –*If any event of default as defined in the December 2024 Note occurs, the full unpaid principal amount of the December 2024 Note, accrued and unpaid interest, and other amounts owed become at the lender’s election immediately due and payable in cash. The lender has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or part of the December 2024 Note in accordance with the terms of the December 2024 Note.

Exchange Cap – The lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of the December 2024 Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the lender, along with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company has obtained shareholder approval for conversion.

Amortization Event – In no event shall the lender be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by the lender and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If at any time (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price forthree trading days during a period offive consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Event”), (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99.0% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap (an “Exchange Cap Event”), or (iii) at any time after the effectiveness deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2024, by and between the Company and the lender (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the lender is unable to utilize a registration statement to resell the shares of the Company’s common stock receivable by the lender for a period often consecutive trading days (a “Registration Event,” and collectively with a Floor Price Event and an Exchange Cap Event, each an “Amortization Event”), then the Company shall make monthly payments to the lender beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $150,000 plus a 10.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of the December 2024 Note in excess of the Exchange Cap.

Embedded Derivatives – The optional redemption and event of default include an exercise contingency, which requires the Company to obtain shareholder approved for conversions subject to the Exchange Cap, which fails the equity classification guidance in ASC 815 and is thus precluded from being classified in equity. Therefore, the embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated from the December 2024 Note and accounted for at fair value at each reporting date. A fair value of $222,865 was determined for the embedded derivative liabilities using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The embedded derivative liabilities will be re-measured to fair value each reporting period until settlement (see Note 10).

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the lender exercised conversion of the December 2024 Note and 260,300 shares of common stock were issued to the lender.

NOTE 10 –FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Customer digital currency assets and liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customer digital currencies. Accordingly, the Company has valued the assets and liabilities using quoted market prices for the underlying digital currencies which is based on Level 2 inputs.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with convertible notes (see Note 7) and the liability-classified pre-funded stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement (see Note 8). A Monte Carlo simulation model is used to estimate the fair value of liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement (see Note 8). Both models utilize the following assumptions:

The Monte Carlo simulation model also incorporates management’s judgments for the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events as well as the probability of certain scenarios impactful to the valuation of the liability-classified stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the December 2024 Private Placement.

The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model for liability-classified stock purchase warrants are as follows:

The assumptions used for the Monte Carlo simulation model for liability-classified stock purchase warrants are as follows:

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

In August 2025, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest in Digital RFQ due to loss of access to financial records. Accordingly, the Company expects to deconsolidate Digital RFQ during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The results of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 remain included in these financial statements on an estimated basis (see Note 4).

On August 5, 2025, the Company was notified that on July 29, 2025, Match Financial Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was placed into administration in the United Kingdom pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 resulting in the appointment of two administrators (the “Administrators”) and the Administrators completed a pre-packaged sale of Match Financial’s entire shareholding in DRFQ to Match Financial Holdings Limited, a newly formed entity owned by Mr. Khurshid, for nominal consideration of £102,000. The Company is consulting with UK counsel regarding this matter.

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Star Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4, Menachem Shalom, the holder of all Class B common stock of Star, agreed that all said shares shall be converted to Class A common stock of Star. The objective of such cancellation and conversion is to eliminate the disparity between the voting rights and the economic rights of the common stock of Star.

On July 30, 2025 the Company entered into a warrant agreement with Synthetic Darwin LLC (“Darwin”), enabling the Company to acquire up to 200 million Darwin tokens, a new class of self-evolving AI network tokens developed by Darwin. Darwin is a self-training and evolving AI that can be used to test and simulate multiple scenarios in finance, healthcare and defense. This software aims to allow companies to run scenarios and find the best configuration for financial services, drugs, defense-related software and more. The Company has identified the potential in such AI software and decided to enter into this warrant agreement for Darwin tokens, which will allow the Company and the Company’s future subsidiaries to use this platform.

Between July 2, 2025 and August 11, 2025, a total of 1,333,352 of the Company’s Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in a total issuance of 1,333,333 shares of common stock during the same period.

On August 11, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the current holder (the “Holder”) of the August 2024 Note and August 2024 Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Holder agreed to waive all events of default in relation to the August 2024 Note. Additionally, the Holder agreed to convert the August 2024 Note into 243,155 shares of common stock based on the post-reverse stock split conversion price of $2.50 per share. In consideration of such waiver and conversion, the Company agreed to issue to the Holder a pre-funded warrant to purchase 1,702,088 shares of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, on August 11, 2025, the Company agreed to exchange the August 2024 Warrant for a new warrant (the “Exchange Warrant”) in form and substance similar to the August 2024 Warrant, provided that such Exchange Warrant permitted the Holder to exercise such Exchange Warrant on a cashless basis. The Holder then exercised the Exchange Warrant on a cashless basis, resulting in an issuance of 123,860 shares of the Company’s common stock.
