Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization
Description of Business
Health in Tech, Inc. (collectively with SMR, Hi Card, and ICE (defined below), “HIT” or the “Company”) through its subsidiaries, simplifies sales, service processes and reduces sales cycle time for third-party administrators and brokers. HIT was incorporated in November 2021 in the State of Nevada, and is based in Stuart, Florida. The Company was created with the intention of consolidating each of three standalone entities into a single organization: Stone Mountain Risk, LLC (“SMR”), Health Intelligence Card, LLC (“Hi Card”), and International Captive Exchange, LLC (“ICE”) (the “subsidiaries”).
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HIT and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Private Investment in Public Equity Financing
On March 27, 2026, the Company completed a private investment in public equity financing (the “PIPE”) in which it issued and sold 5,600,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), at a price of $1.25 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $6,381,000 after deducting placement agent fees and escrow agent fees of $619,000.
Offering Costs
Offering costs of $1,071,880, consisting of legal, accounting, placement agent fees and other costs relating to the PIPE, were offset against the proceeds received upon the closing of the PIPE when recorded in additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, $170,977 of offering costs were deferred and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2026.
Segments
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer and executive committee, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment from continuing operations at the consolidated level. Accordingly, the CODM uses consolidated net income to measure segment profit or loss, allocate resources and assess performance. Further, the CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses) at the consolidated level to manage the Company’s operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have a material balance of long-lived assets located outside of the United States.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable allowance for revenue billing changes driven by headcount changes during the billable period, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of software, variable consideration of revenues from underwriting modeling and stock-based compensation expense. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates of the effect of conditions, situations or sets of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimates, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.*** ***
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposit with original maturities less than three months, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable for financial periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company further manages its credit risk on liquid funds through diversification of investment type and credit exposures. For cash, the Company places cash deposits with large financial institutions. For accounts receivable, the credit risk is managed through the use of mitigating controls, including the use of credit checks and credit limits on customers. For loans receivable, the Company monitors the exposures and counterparty credit risk on a regular basis.
Concentration of customers
Revenues from Stop-Loss Insurance Carriers
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, one stop-loss insurance carrier (“Carrier A”) individually represented greater than 10% of Company’s total gross revenues. Revenue from Carrier A accounted for 17.9% and 25.5% of the Company’s total gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amount due from Carrier A was approximately 28.0% and 36.3% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. While the Company is working to cooperate with more stop-loss insurance carriers, it may experience temporary service disruptions in the event the Company deems it necessary to cease use of a stop-loss insurance carrier.
Revenues from Business Employer Customers
The Company does not have significant concentration of revenues from any of its business employer customers. The Company has a diversified customer base and did not have any business employer that accounted for more than 2.0% or 1.5% of the Company’s total gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. No business employers accounted for more than 4.5% or 3.0% of accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Concentration of Cost of Revenues Service Providers
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s three primary service providers represented 36.2%,15.1% and 12.0% of the Company’s cost of revenues, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, these three primary service providers accounted for 42.3%,2.8% and 8.5% of accounts payable balance, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s three primary service providers (including one data service provider, disclosed in “Concentration of Data Service Providers from Third Party Artificial Intelligence Providers”) represented 77.2%,6.8% and 5.4% of the Company’s cost of revenues, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, these three primary service providers accounted for 74.8%,0.0% and 0.0% of accounts payable balance, respectively. The Company, if necessary, could utilize others as part of its service offerings with a limited impact on the Company’s operations.
Concentration of Data Service Providers from Third Party Artificial Intelligence Providers
The Company currently utilizes one third-party Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) data service provider. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, this provider accounted for 4.2% of the Company’s cost of revenues. As of March 31, 2026, this provider accounted for 2.8% of accounts payable balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s two AI providers as of that date represented 6.8% and 0.6% of the Company’s cost of revenues, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, no balance was due to these two AI providers. The Company previously utilized two AI data services companies, as pricing was more advantageous than utilizing other vendors within this sector. While the Company has historically utilized these AI data service companies, the Company believes that, if necessary, it could utilize others as part of its service offerings with a limited impact on the Company’s operations.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).
The Company assesses its contracts at inception to determine whether the contract contains a lease, including evaluation of whether the contract conveys the right to control an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that represent the net present value of future lease payments utilizing a discount rate corresponding to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and amortizing over the remaining terms of the leases, which was determined to be 10% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company accounts for the leases of less than twelve months as short-term leases and does not recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a 12-month short-term lease agreement with a monthly fixed rent payable, commencing in December of 2025. The Company had one lease classified as short-term leases as of December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company terminated the short-term lease agreement. The Company hadno leases classified as short-term leases as of March 31, 2026.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses and for Revenue Billing Adjustments
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount, less any estimate made for doubtful accounts or credit losses. In accordance with ASC 326,Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, the allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in the Company’s existing receivables over the contractual term. The Company evaluates its exposure to credit loss on both a collective and individual basis. The Company evaluates such receivables on an individual customer basis and takes into account any relevant available information, which begins with historical credit loss experience and consideration of current and expected conditions and market trends (such as general economic conditions, other microeconomic and macroeconomic considerations, etc.) and reasonable and supportable forecasts that could impact the collectability of such receivables over the contractual term individually or in the aggregate. Changes in circumstances relating to these factors may result in the need to increase or decrease the allowance for credit losses in the future. The allowance for credit losses was$0 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company also makes the allowance for revenue billing adjustments, under the consideration of the revenues associated with enrolled customers would have changed during the 12-month contractual term. The final reconciliation with the customers is on the 14 th month. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s monthly revenue provision was 1.3% of total revenues. The provision for customers ending their 12-month plan as of December 31, 2025 without completion of reconciliation was $143,251. The total provision amounted to $634,982 or 1.7% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. The balance of accounts receivable allowance for revenue billing adjustments related to current year enrollment adjustment was $287,651 as of December 31, 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, the Company was in the process of reconciliation for customer policies that ended as of December 31, 2025. The balance of accounts receivable allowance for revenue billing adjustments related to prior year enrollment adjustment was $132,341 as of March 31, 2026. Starting from January 2026, the Company’s monthly revenue provision was 1.7% of total revenues, which was based on the full review of 2025 revenue adjustments. The balance of accounts receivable allowance for revenue billing adjustments related to current year enrollment adjustment was $91,548 as of March 31, 2026. This incorporates three separate categories:
| ● | There is a revenue adjustment that is driven by enrollment changes. It is based upon the actual individuals enrolled in a plan throughout the term compared to the initial employees enrolled in the first month. |
| ● | There is a revenue adjustment that is determined at the cancellation of a policy due to delayed payment. Specifically, a Carrier may cancel a plan when the customer does not remit payment in accordance with the respective agreement for a certain period of time (approximately three months). This may be adjusted if there is a slight delay in the completion and execution of required legal documents. |
| ● | There is a revenue adjustment and change triggered by re-underwrite of stop loss insurance policy, as defined by the Carrier’s underwriting guideline. |
Other Receivables
Certain business customers elect to receive a discount on premiums payable to carriers. In return, carriers can collect and retain these customers’ positive claim fund balance amounts. The positive claim fund is maintained in a designated account specifically earmarked for claims, held by the employer, known as “Deferred Administrative Surplus.” As the platform company, the Company tracks and processes claims for carriers. With necessary information for collection available on our platform, the Company signed an agreement on December 28, 2023 with the third-party Roscommon Captive Management and Roscommon Insurance Company (collectively the “Carrier”), to purchase the rights, title, interest, and collection rights to fees totaling $3,100,000 in Deferred Administrative Surplus for $1,650,000, which is 53% of the total collection rights (the “2023 Purchase”). Additionally, the Company entered into a separate agreement with the Carrier on March 18, 2025, to purchase the final batch of Deferred Administrative Surplus totaling $17,408,421 for $3,481,684, which is 20% of the total collection rights (the “2025 Purchase”). Subsequent to the purchase, following the final review and net of inactive insurance policies, the face value of the 2025 Purchase was approximately $13.8 million. This final batch includes stop-loss insurance policies unexpired as of the date of the 2025 Purchase (“active policies”), which were not present in the 2023 Purchase.
When entering into a stop-loss insurance policy, a business employer can elect to purchase discounted stop-loss insurance policies premiums from the Carrier by agreeing to return any positive balance in claim fund. These claim funds are held in the name of the business employer, and the Carrier has no claim to these funds until the policy and the policy run-out period ends, which is 18 months following commencement of the policy term (the “Policy End Date”). The “run-out period” refers to six month period after the policy or plan has expired during which claims can still be submitted and processed. After the Policy End Date, any funds remaining in the claim fund belong to the Carrier. The Carrier will provide the business employers with a reconciliation of what amounts are specifically owed. This is based on the amount of funds in the business employers’ claim fund account, and the value of claims incurred during the policy and run-out period (the “Deferred Administrative Surplus”). The Deferred Administrative Surplus is owned by the Carrier and not subject any contingencies other than the ability to collect from the business employer.
As part of the Company’s services to the Carrier, ICE contracted with the Carrier to collect premium and process claims expense. Therefore, in its internal system, the Company can calculate the approximate amount of positive balance in the claims fund. The exact amount will be determined after full reconciliation of the claims fund after completion of the run-out period.
In the case of the 2023 Purchase, the Company purchased the policies with related run-out periods that had lapsed and had positive claim fund balances according to the Company’s internal system. As such, the Company knows the value of the Deferred Administrative Surplus purchased. The 2025 Purchase includes all the remaining policies with deferred administrative surplus as a product feature from the Carrier. Collectively, the Carrier and HIT platform stopped offering this feature in August 2024. Thus, 2025 purchased policies are in different periods and stages, including in the policy coverage period, in the run-out period and the out of run-out periods. For policies in the coverage period and in the run-out periods, the final Deferred Administrative Surplus cannot be determined until the policy completes the run-out period and finalizes the reconciliation. Following the purchase, the Deferred Administrative Surplus was transferred to the Company for collection. After the transfer, the Company performs the relevant reconciliations to demonstrate to the business employers the amount of the Deferred Administrative Surplus now owed to the Company from the claim fund balance. The Company asks the business owners to pay back the Deferred Administrative Surplus within 30 days of the collection requests sent.
The key risks associated with the collection of the Deferred Administrative Surplus relate to the Company’s limited collections experience related to the Deferred Administrative Surplus at the time of purchase from the Carrier. To reduce the Company’s collection risk, the Company negotiated with the Carrier to purchase the Deferred Administrative Surplus at 53% the estimated face value of the 2023 Purchase and 20% of estimated face value of 2025 Purchase. This was due to the Carrier does not have the sufficient resources and procedures to collect the Deferred Administrative Surplus. Moreover, the 2025 Purchase was the final batch of policies with the Deferred Administrative Surplus. The Company would have to collect less than 53% of the Deferred Administrative Surplus balance for the 2023 Purchase to incur a loss, and less than 20% for the 2025 Purchase to incur a loss. As of March 31, 2026, the Company collected $1,272,413 for the 2023 Purchase and $290,282 for the 2025 Purchase. The lower collection amount related to the 2025 Purchase is a result of a substantial majority of the underlying policies remaining in the reconciliation process of the Deferred Administrative Surplus, for which the Company initiates collection requests to business employers only upon the completion of such reconciliations.
The purchase of the Deferred Administrative Surplus does not represent a purchase of a financial asset with credit deterioration as defined in accordance with ASC 326,Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. Furthermore, the Company only has approximately three months of historical collection success rates at the time of entering into the 2023 Purchase contract. These collection success rates are based upon limited experience given the Company has only collected on these types of assets for a short period of time. Moreover, the historical collection success rates for the 2023 Purchase were not applicable for the 2025 Purchase at contract inception, due to the differing components of the two purchases, such as active policies in the 2025 Purchase. As such, the Company has accounted for these assets under a nonaccrual approach. The Company will continue to assess this policy as additional collection information is received and collection trends are identified. The Company recorded the consideration as other receivables both as of March 31, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025. The Company collected $12,224 and$0 under the Deferred Administrative Surplus during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Payments made for purchases and collections from the Deferred Administrative Surplus are included in the “other receivables” line of operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company separately assessed if an allowance for credit losses was necessary for this Other Receivables. The Company assesses its historical credit loss experience and consideration of current and expected conditions and market trends (such as general economic conditions, other microeconomic and macroeconomic considerations, etc.) and reasonable and supportable forecasts that could impact the collectability of such receivables over the contractual term individually or in the aggregate. Other Receivables are written off after all collection attempts have been exhausted. Credit loss expense recognized on Deferred Administrative Surplus, which is presented in Other expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was$0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Loans Receivable, Net
On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with Kang Youle Limited, which constitutes an unsecured lending arrangement. Under this Promissory Note Agreement, the Company agreed to lend $800,000 in principal amount, which bears 8% interest per annum. The note’s maturity date is October 10, 2026. The Company has assessed this receivable for potential credit losses, noting none as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded this loan receivable at amortized cost on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3.
Software Capitalization
The Company incurs certain costs associated with the development of its Hi-Card, eDIYBS systems and other systems. In accordance with ASC 350-40,Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software, the Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the development of its internal-use software after the preliminary project stage is complete and until the design, coding, installation, and testing of the software have been completed. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they will result in added functionality. Capitalized costs are amortized over an expected three-year period. In May of 2023, the Company determined that its eDIYBS system was ready for its intended use. In September 2025, an expansion of the eDIYBS system was also completed and placed into service. As such, the Company has entered the eDIYBS system in the post-implementation phase. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company has amortized $403,467 and $135,983 of the capitalized costs associated with eDIYBS and other systems respectively, which is included in the cost of revenues line item of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company capitalized $581,134 and $909,615, respectively, of software development costs.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of amortizable long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, the Company tests recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. There wereno impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Revenue Recognition
The objective of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with customers (“ASC 606”) is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of the financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. An entity shall recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, as defined in ASC 606-10-10-1 and ASC 606-10-10-2.
This evaluation under ASC 606 follows a five-step model, including:
| Step 1: | Identify the contract(s) with a customer |
| Step 2: | Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| Step 3: | Determine the transaction price |
| Step 4: | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| Step 5: | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation |
In general, ASC 606’s core principle is to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Required disclosures under ASC 606 include qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers and significant judgments and estimates as to the application of the 5-step revenue recognition analysis, among others.
The Company accounts for its revenue under the accounting guidance of ASC 606. The Company’s contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606 specifically relate to the services that are associated with customers who purchase self-funded benefits plans. These plans are facilitated through a network of brokers, TPAs, MGUs, carriers, and other third-party agents.
Identification of the Performance Obligations
The Company analyzes each of the deliverables pursuant to its contracts with customers. For each of the deliverables, the Company performs a detailed analysis to determine whether the deliverables are separately identifiable. The Company notes that although the deliverables can vary from day to day, all specifically relate to one kind of service, representing one performance obligation that is provided by each of its subsidiaries (SMR and ICE), as further described below.
SMR Specific Considerations
Program and Platform Management Services (Legacy)
Under SMR’s Program and platform management services, the Company’s insurance marketplace allows brokers to customize an employer’s self-funded benefits plan and stop loss insurance policies. When licensed brokers log in to the Company’s platform, they upload an employee census representing the employee base of the business employer, select which network they wish to use, what plan designs they want to offer to the business employer and then quickly obtain a bindable self-funded medically underwritten stop loss quote they can provide to their business customers. The chosen vendors provide benefit services as outlined on the platform. The fees that the Company and others charge for the service offerings within the quote are outlined and expressly agreed to by the employer. The employer customizes their health insurance plan and executes an annual agreement. This agreement includes a sold case breakdown (SCB) that outlines the individual stop loss insurance and benefits service offerings selected by the employer and the cost of each, including any optional services offered by the Company or other vendors. Through this, the Company is aware of the services that the broker is offering to the employer for the health insurance plan period, which is normally twelve (12) months. This includes each of the performance obligations provided by its subsidiaries as further outlined below. Subsequent to the execution of the initial bindable SCB with its customers, the Company may modify the health insurance plan during the plan period when a non qualified event occurs based on the definition provided by the carriers. For example, if there is a significant fluctuation or changes of enrolled employees (EEs) from the first month.
The Company has business relationships with licensed brokers, as licensed brokers register on the Company’s platform to select and sell benefits plans and stop loss polices to employers as discussed above. However, there is no contractual relationship between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the brokers. The Company’s platform provides credentialing for licensed brokers, allowing them to access its marketplace to select and sell self-funded benefits plans for the business employer at no cost. Brokers are paid by the businesses, with no contractual relationship between the Company and the brokers, only a credentialing process, and free access is provided.
TPAs are contracted and authorized by the business employers to enter into service contracts with SMR on behalf of the business employers. ASC 606 defines a customer as a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the ordinary activities of the company in exchange for consideration. SMR is not providing services to the TPAs, but instead, has contracts to collaborate with the TPAs to facilitate the administration of health benefit plans and stop-loss insurance policies to its customers, which are the business employers. The TPA will administer the purchased health benefits plan and manage the multiple service providers associated with the health benefits plan and stop-loss insurance policy. Such service providers are listed on the bindable quotes via the bindable sold case breakdown, which outlines the individual stop loss insurance and benefits service offerings selected by the business and the cost of each. Only the business employer can start or terminate the relationship with SMR. The TPA cannot start or terminate the relationship with SMR. As such, the Company has concluded that the TPAs are not customers and that the business employers are the customers of SMR pursuant to ASC 606.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company has pivoted its services to offer pre-designed self-funded plans to employers, leveraging years of experience in selecting and managing the vendors that are essential to the plan.
Self-funded Plan Administration Services (Effective January 1, 2026)
SMR develops pre-configured, self-funded health benefit plans that integrate full administrative services and then are bundled with stop-loss insurance for employer clients. SMR delivers a comprehensive, end-to-end self-funded health plan solution spanning plan design and ongoing administration.
SMR curates and onboards a network of specialized administrative vendors, contracting directly and tailoring service configurations based on deep operational experience and sector expertise. This enables consistent execution while maintaining flexibility to meet the specific needs of employers and distribution partners.
As of March 31, 2026, SMR includes more than 100 pre-designed plans that can be efficiently configured and bundled with stop-loss coverage, significantly streamlining implementation.
This model simplifies the complexity of self-funded plan administration, materially improves operational efficiency, and provides a differentiated, flexible solution for both employers and sales agents.
ICE Specific Considerations
ICE has contractual relationships with carriers. ICE underwrites a stop-loss insurance policy and processes claims per the respective carrier’s underwriting guideline and claims processing guideline. In these instances, the carrier is the Company’s customer.
The Company’s performance obligations related to its revenue can be summarized as follows:
Underwriting modeling and risk services: As a part of the Company’s overall insurance marketplace, ICE provides underwriting modelling, machine learning-driven underwriting services, and risk services to its customers. Through its web-based SaaS quoting platform, eDIYBS (Enhance Do It Yourself Benefit System), brokers log in to eDIYBS, upload census, select plans and generate bindable quotes. eDIYBS medically underwrites each employer. ICE continues to assess risks and may re-underwrite based on underwriting risk guidelines provided by carriers. Any enrollment changes in a business can have large fluctuations during a policy period that may trigger a re-underwrite. ICE not only monitors and manages these activities but also facilitates insurance reporting. Revenue related to these services are included in the “Revenues from underwriting modeling” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These services are provided by ICE for carriers. Unlike the Company’s other performance obligations, the Company’s agreements for its underwriting modeling and risk performance obligations are with stop loss carriers. Under these agreements, the Company develops and maintains all underwriting models, designs risk criteria, assesses the risk to underwrite a policy, monitors claims activities, provides reinsurance reporting, and provides monthly reinsurance filings. The purpose of these services is to ensure that the stop loss carrier is assuming an appropriate amount of risk when taking on a new insurance policy, and further that the premiums being charged are appropriate based upon the population of the new insurance policy (age, demographic, etc.).
Program and platform management services: As a part of the Company’s overall insurance marketplace, SMR is a program manager specializing in customized self-funded benefits programs for businesses. SMR’s expertise in health benefits enables the Company to analyze, review and select vendors that have sufficient experience, which is an essential component of a health plan that is constantly evolving with its business employers based on factors such as employee headcount and a specific employee’s geographic location. SMR will then design health plans, select networks, manage vendors, and ultimately construct the benefits plans for the business employers. Licensed brokers log in to the marketplace to select and sell self-funded benefits plans to businesses. The Company throughout the contract period is actively working with the TPA to assist administration of the plan specifically due to headcount changes. SMR also serves as the total program manager coordinate between the Carrier, the TPA, the Broker, and the business employer, the Company’s customer. The Company’s service offerings encompass reference-based pricing, group insurance captives, community health plans, and association health programs. This service is performed for employers to ensure that they have access to a customized health benefits program. Throughout the term of the policy, SMR is ensuring all covered employees meet the requirements and guidelines of carriers to ensure such employees of the business employer remain covered under the respective insurance policy. For these Program and Platform Management Services, the Company acts as a facilitator and does not control the underlying services prior to transfer to customers. The Company accounts for these services under ASC 606-10-25-14(b) as a series of distinct services that are substantially the same per enrolled employee and have the same pattern of transfer as the delivery of the specified services is satisfied over time, and each service is substantially the same and has the same measure of progress. Revenue related to these services are included in the “Revenues from fees” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Self-funded plan administration services: SMR delivers a comprehensive, end-to-end self-funded health plan solution to business employers, spanning plan design and ongoing administration. SMR establishes independent pricing for services, and acts as the primary party responsible for service fulfillment. The Company acts as the principal under ASC 606 for these Plan administration services, as it controls the services prior to transfer to employers and is primarily responsible for fulfillment. These services are accounted for under ASC 606-10-25-14(b) as a series of distinct services that are substantially the same per enrolled employee and have the same pattern of transfer. Revenue related to these services are included in the “Revenues from fees” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Each of the services above allows for the customers to simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s performance as it performs. Services provided by SMR (either program and platform management or self-funded plan administration) and underwriting activities provided by ICE (including eDIYBS) are interdependent, as they cannot function effectively without being combined.
As such, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over a period of the defined contractual term. The Company has determined that the pattern of transfer of control to the customers is commensurate with its right to invoice given the fact that at the end of each reporting period, all performance obligations of the Company have been satisfied and provided to the Company’s customers, and as such, the Company records its revenue based on the sold policy enrollment.
Payments required throughout the duration of the policy start once a policy has become effective, and are subsequently due on policy effective date of the month through the duration of the policy. Given the Company’s policy terms, there are no performance obligations that remain unperformed at the end of each reporting period.

A summary of the Company’s disaggregated revenues are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Revenues: | ||

| Total revenues | $8,771,646 | $8,014,984 |
Variable Consideration
With the exception of its business relationship with one particular carrier, the Company does not have variable consideration that would require constraint from the transaction price of its contracts with customers as the Company receives monthly payments either based on a fixed percentage of the monthly premiums paid by the carrier, or a fixed dollar amount based on the end users serviced during a given month.
For this particular carrier with which the Company’s business relationship had otherwise ended in 2024, the Company has an agreement that includes an unprecedented clause allowing for a potential adjustment to be evaluated in May 2026 based on evaluations to be provided by the carrier at the end of the reconciliation stage 24 th month (the “Adjustment”). The agreement period consists of three stages: (i) the policy in-effect stage, covering the first 12 months from each policy effective date month (August 2023 to May 2025); (ii) the run-out stage, a six month period from the end of the policy term, covering the 13th to 18th months from each policy effective date month (August 2024 to November 2025); and (iii) the reconciliation stage, covering the 19th to 24th months from each policy effective date month (February 2025 to May 2026). The agreement covers stop-loss policies with 11 consecutive policy effective date months, and each policy is subject to all three stages. The Adjustment is assessed based on the carrier’s portfolio evaluation at the end of the reconciliation stage in May 2026. This Adjustment represents variable consideration under ASC 606.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, as all policies sold had not reached the end of the run-out stage and based on historical data, approximately 50% to 70% of claims expenses are processed within the six-month run-out stage, the Company concluded that it was probable that there was no significant Adjustment for the period.
In February 2025, the stop-loss policies with the first effective date month ended their run-out stage and entered the reconciliation stage. The Company commenced internal assessments by policy effective date month and began including the Adjustment in the transaction price. This decision was based on updated information from the first stop-loss policies that had completed their six-month run-out stage. The Company has reasonable data to make preliminary estimates of the Adjustment by policy effective date month in lieu of the carrier’s evaluation is at portfolio level.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company estimated contra revenue of $108,402 and $780,045, respectively, related to the Adjustment. These amounts reduced revenue from underwriting modeling services provided to the carrier. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, refund liabilities of $0 and $891,598 related to the Adjustment were recorded in other current liabilities, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company made interim payments of $4,000,000 to the carrier in connection with the Adjustment, subject to final reconciliation. The Company retains the right to recover any overpaid amounts. The final amount is expected to be finalized upon the carrier’s evaluation and verification in May 2026, at which time a final true-up will occur. The Company will update its estimate quarterly to reflect ongoing changes in circumstances until finalization.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have contract assets or liabilities.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
Under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340”) incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions and bonus programs afforded to brokers, are capitalized if they are expected to be recovered. The Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 340 to expense the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no such capitalized costs. All eligible contract acquisition costs expensed by the Company have been included in sales and marketing expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Significant Financing Components
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to not assess a contract for a significant financing component if the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of the goods or services is one year or less. There was no significant financing components during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s cost of revenues primarily consists of (i) infrastructure costs to operate its platform, such as hosting fees, fees paid to various third-party partners for access to their technology and services, and amortization expenses of the Company’s capitalized internal-use software related to its platform, (ii) costs of plan administrative services provided by the TPA designated in each pre-designed plan and other vendors assigned to each TPA, and (iii) costs related to the captive management activities. The captive management activities include introducing new carriers, conducting due diligence on carriers, conducting feasibility studies to determine the viability to be a stop-loss carrier on the platform, negotiating terms and contracts, coordinating audit requests, managing relationship with unrelated carriers and their regulators and auditor firms to ensure that the risk associated with the Company’s service offerings is minimized.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
In accordance with ASC 718,Compensation — Stock Compensation, the Company’s share-based compensation program grant awards include stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and unrestricted stocks to officers, employees, directors and non-employees. The fair value of stock options granted in July 2023 and August 2024 was determined using the Binomial option-pricing model. The fair value of RSAs granted before the Company’s initial public offering (the “initial public offering” or the “IPO”) was based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, using the DCF method and back-solve method, respectively. The fair value of unrestricted and restricted stocks granted after the IPO is based on the closing market price on the date of the grant.
The Company grants stock options and RSAs that are subject to either service or service and performance-based vesting conditions. Compensation expense for awards to officers, employees and directors with service-based vesting conditions is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate awards’ forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense for awards to non-employees with service-based vesting conditions is recognized in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash in exchange for services, which is generally over the vesting period of the award. Should the Company terminate any of its consulting agreements, the unvested options and RSAs underlying the agreements would be cancelled. Compensation expense for awards to officers, employees, directors and non-employees with service and performance-based vesting conditions is recognized based on the grant-date fair value over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis to the extent achievement of the performance condition is probable. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at each reporting date and begins recognizing expense only when it is probable that the condition will be met.
The Company’s expected stock price volatility assumption is based on the volatility of comparable public companies. The expected term of a stock option granted to employees and directors (including non-employee directors) is based on the average of the contractual term (generally 5 years) and the vesting period. For non-employee options, the expected term is the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities consistent with the life of the option. The expected dividend yield was set to zero as the Company does not pay dividends on its common stock and there was no expectation of doing so as of the respective grant dates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260,Earnings per Share. The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, “common stock”), have identical dividend and liquidation rights and are therefore considered a single class for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive, including unvested RSAs and outstanding stock options. For the purpose of computing diluted net income (loss) per share, RSAs and options with a performance-based vesting condition are considered contingently issuable, and such contingent shares are included in the denominator for computing diluted net income (loss) per share only once the performance condition is met, and only to the extent such RSAs and options are dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, no diluted shares attributable to RSAs and options were included in the calculation of net loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, diluted shares attributable to 510,563 RSAs and 1,866,515 options were included in the calculation of net income per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Net income (loss) | $(1,588,281) | $498,592 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding | ||
| Basic | 57,353,021 | 54,619,858 |
| Total dilutive effect of outstanding equity awards | — | 2,377,078 |
| Diluted | 57,353,021 | 56,996,936 |
| Net income (loss) per share | ||
| Basic | $(0.03) | $0.01 |
| Diluted | $(0.03) | $0.01 |
The following outstanding stock awards were not considered in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to holders of common stock as they had antidilutive effects for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |

5. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company is not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels.
Leases
The Company entered into a five-year lease for its corporate headquarters in Stuart, Florida, commencing in November of 2022. The Company’s real estate lease also includes executory costs such as common area maintenance (non-lease component) and real estate taxes (not considered a component of the Company’s lease). As a practical expedient permitted under ASC 842, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The rent-related expense for this lease was $20,812 for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company hadno short-term leases as of March 31, 2026, andone short-term lease as of December 31, 2025.
The Company’s office lease is classified as an operating lease. At the inception date of the office lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $330,554 in operating lease right-of-use asset, as well as an operating lease liability of $324,021. This lease liability represented the net present value of future lease payments for the lease utilizing a discount rate of 10%, which corresponded to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company made cash payments of $21,417 and $20,794 for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $3,585,532, which may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income, but are subject to the 80% taxable income limitation upon utilization. Additionally, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.6 million as of March 31, 2026, which will begin to expire in 2045.
In general, under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not performed such an analysis evaluation the potential limitation of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards due to the “Change in ownership” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, introducing significant and wide-ranging changes to the U.S. federal tax system. Significant components include the return to immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures (“R&E”) which in some cases may include retroactive application back to 2021 for businesses with gross receipts of less than $31 million or accelerated tax deductions of R&E that was previously capitalized for larger businesses. The legislation also reinstates EBITDA-based interest deductions for tax purposes and makes several business tax incentives permanent. Less favorable business provisions include limitations on tax deductions for charitable contributions. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on income tax benefit or expense or related tax assets or liabilities, as the Company does not have significant NOLs, interest expense or charitable contributions. The Company has reviewed the various elections available under the OBBBA for the treatment of domestic research and development expenses and plans to expense domestic research and development costs starting in 2025 along with accelerating the amortization of previously capitalized and unamortized research and development costs. The Company will not apply retroactive treatment to any prior tax periods.
The amounts of cash income taxes paid (received) by the Company were as follows:
| Federal | — |
|---|---|
| State | (4,965) |
| Foreign | — |

7. Stock-Based Compensation
2022 Equity Incentive Plan
On December 21, 2022, the Company adopted and approved the Health in Tech Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of 4,501,683 shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of attracting, retaining, and motivating key employees, directors, and consultants. The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering on December 24, 2024, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) went into effect. The terms of the 2022 Plan continue to govern the restricted stock and options outstanding in the plan as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. There areno shares reserved for future issuance in the 2022 Plan.
2024 Equity Incentive Plan
On December 24, 2024, the Company adopted and approved the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan is a comprehensive incentive compensation plan under which the Company can grant 7,677,849 shares of equity-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisers. On October 3, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2024 Plan to (i) increase the total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted thereunder from 7,677,849 shares to 10,677,849 shares and (ii) to include the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and options convertible into Class B Common Stock to executive officers of the Company. The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to help the Company attract, motivate and retain such persons with awards under the 2024 Plan and thereby enhance shareholder value. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, performance unit awards, distribution equivalent right awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and unrestricted stock awards. Under the 2024 Plan,1,288,000 shares of unrestricted stock awards and 3,623,744 shares of restricted stock awards were granted as of March 31, 2026. And 1,288,000 shares of unrestricted stock awards and 1,363,744 shares of restricted stock awards were granted as of December 31, 2025.
Some RSAs granted under the 2024 Plan have service-based vesting conditions and vest over a period fromone totwo years. Some RSAs granted under the 2024 Plan are subject to both service and performance-based vesting conditions. These awards vest upon the achievement of specified metrics. Depending on the award, these metrics are either measured over a concurrent service period, or act as a prerequisite that must be met to initiate a subsequent 12-month service-based vesting schedule, with the awards vesting in equal monthly installments. The assessment for this prerequisite may occur within a fixed period or be indefinite. Compensation expense for awards with service and performance-based vesting conditions is recognized based on the grant-date fair value over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis to the extent achievement of the performance condition is probable. As of each reporting date, the Company estimates the probability that specified performance criteria will be met and does not recognize compensation expense until it is probable that the performance-based vesting condition will be achieved.
