Current report

Resignation of Chief Financial Officer and Appointment of Acting Chief Financial Officer

Current report

Effective February 5, 2026, Chetan Jindal resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Current report

Effective February 5, 2026, the Brag House Board appointed Rene Rodriguez as the Company’s Acting Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Rodriguez, age 42, has served as the Company’s Controller since March 1, 2025, and prior to that as an independent contractor providing finance and accounting services to the Company from June 1, 2022 until February 28, 2025.

Current report

On January 6, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).

Current report

The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, the Company’s listing remains fully effective.

Current report

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 6, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to July 6, 2026.

Current report

If the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by July 6, 2026, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional compliance period, 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.

Current report

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180 day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that Nasdaq grants, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

Current report

As of the date of this Annual Report, the deficiency has not been cured.

Current report

On October 12, 2025, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and House of Doge. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into House of Doge, resulting in House of Doge as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company will be renamed “House of Doge Inc.” The Merger Agreement provides that the Company’s current officers will continue their function as senior management personnel of the Company in roles, functions and other management capacities with respect to the Brag House Legacy Business, which House of Doge agreed will operate or continue to operate as a division or out of a subsidiary of House of Doge after the Closing. We expect, however, that the Brag House Legacy Business will continue to operate out of the Company’s existing Brag House, Inc. subsidiary, and that the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, Lavell Juan Malloy, II, will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of such subsidiary.

Current report

In exchange for the House of Doge Common Stock and restricted stock units, the Company will issue shares of the Brag House Common Stock and a new class of preferred stock (that will be convertible into shares of common stock) and restricted stock units constituting an aggregate of approximately 663,250,176 shares of its common stock, on a fully diluted basis, to holders of House of Doge’s shares of common stock and restricted stock units, provided that any shares of common stock that House of Doge issues to non-affiliates in arms-length commercial business transactions it negotiates in good faith in the ordinary course of business prior to the Effective Time will also be exchanged in the Merger and, therefore, cause the number of shares of common stock that the Company issues in the Merger to proportionately increase. House of Doge will also issue 9,000,000 shares of its common stock to Lavell Juan Malloy, II, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and certain other individuals or representatives of the Company to be identified by the Company prior to the Closing. Upon consummation of the Merger, House of Doge will become the majority shareholder of the Company. Following the Merger, the Company’s common stock shall continue to be listed on Nasdaq. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, filing of required registration statements, shareholder consent, and completion of due diligence.

Current report

On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement. On February 2, 2026 entered into amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement and on March 26, 2026 entered into amendment No. 3 to modify certain provisions of the Merger Agreement, including the extension of the termination date of the agreement to May 29, 2026.

Current report

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Merger had not yet closed. The Company expects the Merger to be finalized by May 29, 2026, pending satisfaction of all closing conditions.

Current report

On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with CleanCore, pursuant to which the Company purchased CleanCore Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of CleanCore’s class B common stock for a purchase price of $1.00 in cash per CleanCore Pre-Funded Warrant for a total purchase price of $4,000,000 in cash. The Company participated in CleanCore’s private offering of pre-funded warrants issued in exchange for consideration of cash, Dogecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, or USDT. The pre-funded warrants were exercised on November 10, 2025 and the Company owns 4,000,000 shares of CleanCore’s class B common stock as of December 31, 2025.

Current report

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 12 accredited investors for the July 2025 PIPE Offering of 15,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock, convertible into an aggregate of 15,923,567 shares of Brag House Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.942 per share of Series B preferred stock, and an aggregate of 15,923,567 PIPE Warrants to acquire up to 15,923,567 shares of Brag House Common Stock. The purchase price of the securities was $1,000 per share of Series B preferred stock and accompanying 1,061.5711 PIPE Warrants to acquire up to 1,061.5711 shares of Brag House Common Stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations. The PIPE Warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $0.817 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2025, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock converted a total of 6,902 shares into 7,327,245 shares of Common Stock. Further, during this period, a total of 2,099,257 PIPE Warrants were exercised at $0.817 per warrant for total proceeds of $1,715,092.

Current report

The July 2025 PIPE Offering closed on July 30, 2025, with aggregate gross proceeds totaling $15 million, before placement agent fees and other expenses that were directly deducted from the proceeds totaling $1,321,205. In addition to the fees directly deducted from the proceeds, the Company incurred an additional fee of $635,000 and other fees totaling $8,500 for total offering costs of $1,964,705. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2025 PIPE Offering for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Current report

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0 and $105, respectively. Revenues consisted of live-streaming services. This decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the Company not hosting tournaments or generating live-streaming revenue during 2025.

Current report

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we used $16,144,000 in our investing activities, which was attributable to our investment in the 4,000,000 CleanCore Pre-Funded Warrants for a total investment of $4,000,000 and a loan and advance made to the House of Doge totaling $12,144,000. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no investing activities.

Current report

Cloud Computing Arrangements - Technology Purchase Agreements

Current report

We consider the accounting for our technology purchase agreements with Artemis and EVEMeta to be a critical accounting estimate due to the significant judgment required in valuing and recognizing related stock-based compensation as software expense and capitalized implementation costs. In November 2024, we issued an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Brag House Common Stock (valued at $5.0 million at grant date) in exchange for software development, software usage and support and maintenance services. The original agreements included a guaranteed minimum-value cash settlement provision, which required liability classification and periodic fair value measurement using a Monte Carlo simulation model under ASC 718.

Current report

On May 12, 2025, we amended the agreements to remove the minimum-value provision in exchange for $250,000 in cash payments, resulting in settlement of a $116,669 liability and recognition of $133,331 in other expense. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $588,260 of expense and $0 of capitalized implementation costs related to these agreements.

Current report

Subsequent to the amendment, we continued to estimate the recognition of stock-based compensation as capitalized implementation costs in connection with the services provided by estimating the percentage of completion of the statements of work for the software development. Also, for the software usage and support and maintenance services, we recognized stock-based compensation costs as software expense equally over the established time frame for those statements of work.

Current report

The valuation of the liability component prior to amendment involved significant assumptions, including volatility, expected term, and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions, or in the estimated service periods, could materially affect the amount and timing of expense recognition.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sent notices of material breach to both Artemis and EVEMeta regarding the MSA and the SaaS Agreement, and all services from Artemis and EVEMeta have remained halted. Accordingly, no additional software expenses or capitalized assets were recognized in relation to the MSA and the SaaS Agreement and all capitalized implementation costs were impaired and written off as software expense.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued stock options and warrants in connection with our initial public offering and the PIPE Offering. The Company measures the fair value of warrants and stock options granted to employees, directors, and non-employees using option pricing models, including the Black-Scholes and Binomial Lattice models. The determination of the fair value of these instruments requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized.

Current report

Key assumptions used in these models include expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. Because the Company has a limited operating history and insufficient historical trading data to estimate expected volatility, the Company bases its volatility assumption on the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly traded companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related option or warrant. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not historically declared or paid dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Current report

The Company uses the “simplified method” to estimate the expected term for stock options that have exercise prices issued at-the-money, consistent with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14. For stock options with exercise prices that are out-of-the-money, the Company uses a Binomial Lattice model, which incorporates assumptions about future exercise behavior and potential changes in stock price over the life of the award.

Current report

Because these valuation assumptions involve significant judgment and are based on estimates, changes in these assumptions could materially affect the fair value of stock options and warrants, and the related stock-based compensation expense recognized in future periods. Management reviews its assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as appropriate.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company, House of Doge and Yorkville entered into the Yorkville Convertible Note and the Yorkville Warrant. Both instruments are classified as liabilities and the Company has elected to account for the Yorkville Convertible Note with the Fair Value Option (“FVO”) in accordance with ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. As such, the Yorkville Convertible Note is required to be measured at fair value at the date of issuance, December 4, 2025, and at subsequent reporting periods. The Yorkville Warrant is also required to be measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” at the date of issuance, December 4, 2025, and in subsequent reporting periods. For each valuation of the Yorkville Convertible Note and the Yorkville Warrant, the Company uses a probability-weighted expected return model (“PWERM”) and a Monte Carlo Simulation, respectively.

Current report

Key assumptions used in these models include a variable weighted average price for conversion, expected stock price at conversion, credit risk adjusted rate, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, discount rate, and probability assumptions. Because the Company has a limited operating history and insufficient historical trading data to estimate expected volatility, the Company bases its volatility assumption on the historical volatilities of a group of comparable publicly traded companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related option or warrant. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not historically declared or paid dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Current report

Because these valuation assumptions involve significant judgment and are based on estimates, changes in these assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the Yorkville Convertible Note and Yorkville Warrant, and the related gain or loss from the change in fair value recognized in future periods. Management reviews its assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as appropriate.

Brag House is a mission-driven organization that utilizes a diversified business strategy to operate a vertically integrated platform designed for casual college gamers to drive community-driven gaming experiences anchored in the college sports culture, while creating authentic pathway for brands to connect with our Gen Z audience.

Previous report

Brag House is a Delaware corporation formed in December 2021. Our founders developed the idea for the Brag House platform in 2018, when our Chief Executive Officer Lavell Juan Malloy, II and his co-founder, Chief Operating Officer Daniel Leibovich, recognized a need in the gaming industry for an esports platform focused specifically on the casual college gamer, and formed our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, BHI. At that time, our co-founders believed that a significant amount of industry resources were focused predominantly on competitive and professional gamers, much to the detriment of casual gamers, generally, and casual college gamers, specifically. In the years ensuing, we have maintained our focus on the casual college gaming segment and believe we are developing a first-of-its-kind digital platform for casual college gamers to compete, support their team, banter in a safe environment and win prizes. Our vertically integrated approach combines gamer recruitment, facilitation of community engagement and content creation, live-stream production and tournament host activities.

Previous report

We believe we are creating a new sports medium for Gen Z to engage through gaming by merging gameplay with school spirit in Brag House and student-led activations and tournaments tied to college rivalries with Brag House features and capabilities such as our Bragging Functionality, Loyalty Tokens reward system, and brand-sponsored content and prizes. The growth of our platform since our inception is encouraging, and we believe we are strongly positioned to capitalize on a large portion of the available gaming market. We experienced strong community growth since we launched through March 31, 2025, reaching nearly 1,400,000 video views of our Brag House content on video platforms including X (formerly known as Twitter), TikTok, Meta, Twitch and YouTube, which represent a 148% increase in views year-over-year from 2020 to 2024. We have also generated nearly 8 million impressions and video views since inception, which represents approximately a 57% increase year-over-year from 2020 to 2024. Additionally, since 2022, Brag House spectators who viewed live streams remained on the platform for 19 minutes per stream across over 290,000 live views, which represents nearly a 1.75X increase compared to the industry benchmark of 11 minutes.

Previous report

We are focused on creating an organic and inclusive community which facilitates personalized experiences. We believe our experiential framework offers a more authentic and differentiated channel for advertisers to utilize, making the otherwise elusive demographic of gamers and streamers accessible at scale to ourselves and our partners. We do this by offering brand sponsors and advertisers an exclusive marketing channel to reach elusive Gen Z and Millennial gamers and creators, while offering players ways to access exclusive tournaments and programming.

Previous report

Brag House, Inc. (“BHI”), the Company’s wholly owned indirect subsidiary and the entity through which our operations are primarily conducted, was formed as a Delaware corporation in February 2018.

Previous report

On August 16, 2021, BHL acquired all of the 10,000,000 issued and outstanding BHI shares held by BHI shareholders on a one for 14.07 basis (rounded to the nearest whole number) in exchange for 140,700,000 ordinary shares of £0.0001 in BHL, making BHI a wholly owned subsidiary of BHL (“UK Reorganization”).

Previous report

Following the UK Reorganization, the board of directors of BHL determined that it was in the best interests of BHL and its shareholders that an initial public offering in the United States and concurrent listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) be pursued. To effect that proposed initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq, in December 2021, the Company was formed. On February 8, 2022, the Company approved a reorganization, in which the shareholders of BHL would exchange their ordinary shares and preference shares of BHL for a proportionate number of common and preferred shares in the Company on a 21 to 1 basis (“U.S. Reorganization”). Immediately following the U.S. Reorganization, BHL became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and BHI became the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Previous report

We anticipate that BHL will be wound down and dissolved as soon as reasonably practicable.

Previous report

We effected a 1 for 5.1287 consolidation of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock on June 14, 2024, (the “Original Reverse Split”). On October 11, 2024, we canceled the Original Reverse Split and filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1 for 2.43615 consolidation of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Split”). Any future redemption of stock options or warrants for options or warrants that were granted prior to October 11, 2024 will also reflect the Reverse Split. The Company began the process to pay for the Fractional Shares, which total $85.81, to its shareholders that were affected by the Reverse Split. This Annual Report gives effect to the cancellation of the Original Reverse Split and the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. Except where otherwise indicated, all share and per share data in this Annual Report have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

Previous report

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $105 and $366,438 respectively. Revenues for the periods presented consisted of the following: Tournament revenue and live-streaming services. This decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to decreased tournament activity in the year 2024. Tournament revenue comprises 0% and 99% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The other revenue referenced above represents an insignificant source of revenue for the Company.

Previous report

Tournament Revenue consists of money earned from tournament sponsors. The Company’s other revenue comes from revenue earned on the Twitch streaming platform through the Company’s enrollment in the Twitch Affiliate Program. The affiliate program allows the Company to earn revenue from advertising provided to viewers on the channel. The Company streams live events, and their channel may also include past tournaments that can be watched as a Video on Demand (“VOD”). Additionally, the Company generates subscription revenue for users who subscribe to Brag House’s Twitch live-streaming channel. Live-streaming service revenue is not considered tournament revenue since it is not directly attributed to money earned from tournament sponsors and is not received from such sources. This revenue is tracked, determined, and disbursed to the Company directly by Twitch.

Previous report

Pursuant to our agreement with Moroch, we held the “Texas Loyalty Cup”, a Brag House tournament, in 2021 in collaboration with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. The success of the tournament led to a continued and stronger relationship with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola as we had held two tournaments in 2022: “SoCal FIFA 23 Tournament” which was a direct contract with Coca-Cola and collaborated with McDonald’s through their marketing agency of the Southern California Region, DE, and “Black and Positively Golden Gamers HBCU Tournament Featuring Fortnite” which was a contract with McDonald’s through their agency, WI, in collaboration with Coca-Cola. Due to the success Brag House was able to achieve, the partnership with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola grew stronger as Brag House was contracted by Coca-Cola, in collaboration with McDonald’s, for the third consecutive year to host a nationwide Fortnite tournament with student gamers from five states (Washington, Oregon, California, Oklahoma and Kansas). The tournament is known as the Golden Royale Cup, and took place over the course of three weeks in November, with three qualifying matches, followed by a grand finale match. The Golden Royale Cup amassed nearly 20,000 total hours of aggregate live streaming content watched. And garnered nearly 300,000 views from gamers watching the tournament in real-time. Furthermore, the event received nearly 1 million impressions across Brag House’s social media platforms.

Previous report

In addition to the Golden Royale Cup from November 2023, Brag House has finalized three major partnerships agreements; the first with the FWSC, a division of The City of Fort Worth, where we hosted an in-person esports and scholars event on September 21, 2024 at the FWCC focused on college students for the State of Texas. This event showcased not only competitive gaming for the casual gamers but also educational and career opportunities related to gaming and esports for Texas college students while giving the students opportunities to earn and win scholarships. This event featured speakers and panelists from diverse industries, including media agencies, universities, and the movie and entertainment sectors; the second with the Denver Broncos, a world-renowned American Football franchise that competes in the NFL to be a gaming partner for in-person and digital gaming activations (i.e. gaming events) for, at minimum, the 2023-2024 NFL seasons. This partnership concluded in September 2024.

Previous report

We expect to complete our remediation plan within the next 12 months. However, we have not tested the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully remediate this material weakness and, even if we do, we cannot assure you that we will not suffer from other material weaknesses in the future. Except for additional personnel costs, we do not expect to incur any material costs related to our remediation plan.

The decrease in operating expenses during 2024 was mainly attributed to reduced spending in operations since the Company focused its efforts and spending on the IPO. Significant costs related to the IPO were capitalized as deferred offering costs and were not included in operating expenses, as they normally would be.

For the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company had a net loss of $3,288,519 and $4,672,348, respectively, and negative cash flows from operations of $571,681 and $776,996, respectively. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company will continue to promote its services to existing and potential customers, but it anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans through 2025, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company previously funded and plans to continue funding these losses primarily through the sale of equity and loans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Brag House also secured a strategic partnership for tournament and promotional events in 2025 with Learfield Communications, LLC, formerly Learfield IMG College, a billion dollar media company that holds the media rights to hundreds of colleges in the US, including collegiate properties as the NCAA and its 89 championships and NCAA Football. However, it is important to note that the current agreement does not guarantee revenue, nor does it obligate Learfield or its affiliates to provide data access or support beyond the sales representation scope. The partnership’s first activation is planned to be held online on May 17, 2025 (originally scheduled for March 5, 2025) for students and alumni of the University of Florida, one of Learfield’s media rights properties. The execution of this initial activation will serve as a test case for future expansion and data-driven initiatives.

While the agreement does not guarantee revenue, nor obligate Learfield or its affiliates to provide data access or support beyond the sales representation scope, we believe that it does position Brag House to leverage Learfield’s college network to generate sponsorship revenue, ensuring brand engagement opportunities, and gives Brag House access to extensive datasets from diverse college campuses as we evolve into a scalable data insight revenue model, where we aim to enable brands to gain data insights to create enhanced, personalized and effective marketing campaigns. Therefore, we believe that this partnership will contribute directly to Brag House’s revenue model through marketing and advertising earning such as sponsorships, while validating Brag House’s marketing and data strategy for reaching college-aged Gen Z gamers. Through this, the Company plans to scale across Learfield’s properties, expanding brand partnerships in the gaming and esports spaces.

Previous wording

Management believes this is a strong indicator of continued growth in the coming years for tournament revenue. While the Company believes in its viability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan.

The Company has earned minimal revenue from its inception through the year ended December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

However, the Company has earned minimal revenue through the year ended December 31, 2024. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations or cease operations completely.

Previous wording

Prior to our IPO, we had been a private company with limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources to address our internal controls and procedures. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have identified control deficiencies in our financial reporting process that constitute material weaknesses in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have a material weakness related to the review and approval of cash disbursements, officer expense reimbursements, and related journal entries for operating and payroll-related expenses incurred, including the failure to maintain readily accessible executed versions of significant agreements entered into by the Company. Due to the lack of formal documentation maintained around the review and approval of these types of transactions, it was determined that we did not adhere to established controls around our cash disbursement process, nor the review and approval of related journal entries recorded. Additionally, we have a material weakness related to the lack of controls over our income tax related accounts and disclosures. In the absence of such formal documentation related to our management’s review and approval of such processes, potential material misstatements may go undetected. Additionally, the Company has a material weakness related to its ability to record and disclose complex transactions with debt and/or equity features. Lastly, the Company has a material weakness related to the lack of cybersecurity policies and procedures in place. In the absence of cybersecurity controls, Company operations may be negatively impacted, as all Company activities take place online.

Previous wording

We have already taken a number of measures to address the internal control deficiencies that have been identified including, hiring a full-time chief financial office with extensive public-company reporting and technical accounting experience to provide additional financial reporting oversight and review, expanding our existing accounting and financial reporting personnel, as well as establishing effective monitoring and oversight controls. We believe these measures will assist us with meeting the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improving our overall internal controls. However, we cannot assure you that these measures may fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or that we may conclude that they have been fully remediated.

If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses or fail to otherwise maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future, such failure could result in loss of investors’ confidence in our financial statements, limit our ability to raise capital and have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Stock. Additionally, failure to remediate the material weakness or otherwise maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may also negatively impact our operating results and financial condition, impair our ability to timely file our periodic and other reports with the SEC, subject us to additional litigation and regulatory actions and cause us to incur substantial additional costs in future periods relating to the implementation of remedial measures.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statement that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2024, we have incurred recurring losses from operations and have not generated net income since our inception. We have funded our operations primarily through debt and equity financings, including the proceeds received in connection with our public offering on March 6, 2025, upon which we became a publicly traded company subsequent to the date of these financial statements. While this recent capital raise has provided us with the resources necessary to begin executing our business plan, we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future.

Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with the funds raised in our recent public offering, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months, our operating plan anticipates continued investment in product development, infrastructure, and customer acquisition to realize sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
