Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

ALGORHYTHM HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 1 –Nature of Business

Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a The Singing Machine Company, Inc.) (the “Company”) is an artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology company focused on the growth and development of SemiCab. SemiCab is an AI-enabled software logistics and distribution business that utilizes the Company’s SemiCab technology platform to enable retailers, brands and transportation providers to address common supply chain problems globally. The Company operates its SemiCab business through its subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, LLC.

Prior to August 1, 2025, the Company had a second business, which was Singing Machine. Singing Machine was a home karaoke consumer products business that designed and distributed karaoke products to retailers and ecommerce partners globally through its subsidiary, The Singing Machine Company, Inc. The Company sold its Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, the Company no longer owns or operates the Singing Machine business. The results of operations, cash flows, and related assets and liabilities of the Singing Machine business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

The Company’s operations include its 80%-owned subsidiaries, SemiCab Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“SemiCab Holdings”), and SMCB Solutions Private Limited, an Indian company (“SMCB”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SMC Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (“SMCL”), SMC-Music, Inc., a Florida corporation (“SMCM”), SMC (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong company (“SMH”), The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SMC”), and RIME Holdings, LLC (“Rime”).

Effective September 5, 2024, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended to change the name of the Company from “The Singing Machine Company, Inc.” to “Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.”

On January 13, 2025, the Company’s stockholders voted to authorize the Company’s board of directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a specific ratio within a range of 1-for-10 to a maximum of 1-for-250 and to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 800,000,000 shares. On January 14, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split of 1-for-200 ratio and approved the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect the reverse stock split and to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 800,000,000. The reverse stock split took effect on February 10, 2025. All current and prior year balances have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Note 2 –Sale of Singing Machine Business

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with SMC and Stingray Music USA, Inc. (“Stingray USA”) pursuant to which Stingray USA purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed most of the liabilities, associated with the Company’s Singing Machine business for $500,000. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025. Mathieu Peloquin is the Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Communications of Stingray Group and served as a member of the Company’s board of directors until October 6, 2025.

The Company determined that the sale of the Singing Machine business met the criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represented a strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the Singing Machine business as a discontinued operation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. Additional information is presented inNote 19 – Discontinued Operations.

Note 3 –Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and restricted cash balance was $6,146,000. This will not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has a recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are issued.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and that the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments will continue in the ordinary course of business.

The Company plans to finance its operations by obtaining additional capital through external sources of financing. It may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of debt securities. The Company has not made any arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

In making this assessment, management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow forecasts, and obligations and debts. Although management has a recent history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash resources outside the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

Note 4 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries SMCL, SMCM, SMH, SMC, Rime and its eighty percent (80%)-owned subsidiaries, SemiCab Holdings and SMCB. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.

The Company evaluates its business relationships with related parties to identify potential Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation. The Company will consolidate any VIE in which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company will be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest has the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both characteristics are met and, then the Company will consolidate that VIE into its consolidated financial statements.

As prescribed by ASC 810, if the Company holds a variable interest in an entity that is a VIE, but the Company is not the entity’s primary beneficiary, then the Company must disclose the methodology (e.g., significant judgments and assumptions made) that it used to determine that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Additional information required includes information about the types of involvement considered significant, and those considered in the determination of whether the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary.

Furthermore, if the Company provides or intends to provide financial or other support, whether explicitly or implicitly, to the VIE when not contractually required to, the Company must disclose the type and amount of the support along with the primary reasons for providing the support. Both qualitative and quantitative information about the Company’s involvement with the VIE must be disclosed, including the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the VIE and how the VIE is financed.

The Company determined that SMCB was a VIE because the Company provided financial support to SMCB in the form of a loan agreement to fund SMCB’s operations. The Company further determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because the Company did not have the power to direct or control’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its consolidated financial statements prior to May 2, 2025.

On May 2, 2025, SemiCab Holdings acquired 99.99% of the equity shares of SMCB from SemiCab, Inc. As a result, on May 2, 2025, the Company consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its consolidated financial statements. A discussion of this transaction is set forth herein inNote 18 – Acquisition of SMCB.

Reclassification of Prior Periods Presentation

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. Significant estimates include allowance for credit losses, accruals relating to litigation, goodwill, share-based compensation expense and warrant liability.

Segment Reporting

Pursuant to ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).

Prior to August 1, 2025, the CODM determined that the Company operated intwo reportable segments: (i) the SemiCab business, and (ii) the Singing Machine business. On August 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Singing Machine business. Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company began operating as a single reportable segment consisting of its SemiCab business.

The CODM evaluates and manages the Company’s operations using net loss as the primary measure to allocate resources, make operating decisions, and assess financial performance. In addition, the CODM considers non-financial information and other qualitative factors when evaluating performance, establishing compensation, monitoring budget-to-actual results, and making capital allocation decisions.

Additional information is presented inNote 15 – Segment Information and Revenue Disaggregation.

Cash and Restricted Cash

The Company considers cash to include cash in banks and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. Cash is maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company classifies all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, consists of cash required under the Streeterville Capital Transaction as detailed inNote 12 – Securities Transactions.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Expected Credit Losses

The Company recognizes credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on its estimate of expected credit losses and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates specific identified risks and the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections, current forecasts of future economic conditions over the time horizon the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. As needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using straight-line methods.

Intangible Assets- Internal Use Software

The Company capitalized costs related to the development of internal-use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software. Capitalized costs primarily consist of personnel and third-party fees incurred during the application development stage for software that support the Company’s Software as a Service (“SaaS”) operations. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is 5 years, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASU 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its carried value.

Long Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant and Equipment(“ASC 360”). The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset or intangible asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows*.*

The Company hadno impairment loss related to long-lived assets or intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.

The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

●Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in the Company’s valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model.
●Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivables and accounts receivable – related party, trade payables advances and notes payables and notes payable – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Finally, the Company determines if the warrants meet the definition of a derivative based on their contractual terms. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance, as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding and at interim dates if circumstances warrant such analysis.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also evaluates if changes in contractual terms or other considerations would result in the reclassification of outstanding warrants from liabilities to stockholders’ equity (or vice versa).

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606*, Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed for the customer in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised services that are distinct); (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the service for each performance obligation.

The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies performance obligations as the delivery of the requested service at the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. Revenue from sales of services is recognized at the point in time when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time when the services are performed in full, at which time there are no further performance obligations remaining.

The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation, which is the performance of services. The Company’s contracts have no financing elements. Payment terms are generally less than 90 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of the service is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of the service.

The Company utilizes independent contractors and third-party carriers to perform transportation services in connection with its SemiCab business. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, management evaluates the terms of agreements with customers and vendors to determine whether it acts as principal or agent in each arrangement.

This assessment focuses on whether control of the transportation service is obtained prior to transferring the service to the customer. Based on this evaluation of the control model, management has concluded that it acts as the principal and, accordingly recognizes revenue on a gross basis. In the event the Company acts as an agent, such revenue will be recognized net of the cost of purchased transportation.

All revenue earned from contracts are presented net of discounts, allowances, and applicable taxes

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has granted stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee members of its board of directors. The Company also has an equity incentive plan that provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

The Company measures the compensation cost associated with all share-based payments based on grant date fair values. The fair value of each stock option and stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and stock purchase rights. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price and several assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.

For grants of stock options, the Company uses a blend of historical and implied volatility for traded options on its stock to estimate the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s use of blended volatility estimates in computing the expected volatility assumption for stock options is based on its belief that while the implied volatility is representative of expected future volatility, the historical volatility over the expected term of the award is also an indicator of expected future volatility. The Company utilizes a blended volatility estimate that consists of implied volatility and historical volatility in order to estimate the expected volatility assumption of the Black-Scholes model.

The expected term of stock options granted is estimated using historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the Company’s stock options and stock purchase rights. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate assumption for all types of share-based compensation awards based on historical forfeiture rates related to each category of award.

Compensation costs associated with grants of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are measured at fair value, which has historically been the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of each individual award, which generally equals the vesting period, using the straight-line method for awards that contain only service conditions. For awards that contain performance conditions, the Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche, when achievement of that tranche is considered probable.

The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock awards on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.

Income Taxes

Ifitismorelikelythannotthatsomeportionof adef erredtax assetwillnotbe realized, avaluation allowanceis recognized.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has agreater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires, among other things, enhanced rate reconciliation disclosures, disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) between domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but resulted in expanded income tax disclosures in the accompanying notes.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss available to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to acquire common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted net loss available to common stockholders computation in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except for SMCB, whose functional currency is the Indian rupee.

The financial statements of SMCB are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810). This ASU provides that a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the guidance in both ASC 718 and ASC 606 on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance, primarily by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. In addition, the ASU clarifies that the guidance in ASC 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer “regardless of whether an award’s grant date has occurred” (as determined under ASC 718). ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current receivables and contract assets arising under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU allows entities to assume that the macroeconomic conditions existing at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of those assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for costs incurred in the development of internal-use software by removing the concept of multiple project stages. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits funding to the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software placed into service. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU clarifies the scope of derivative accounting for certain contracts and provides guidance on share-based, non-cash consideration received from a customer under Topic 606. The amendments expand a scope exception for contracts whose underlying is based on an entity’s own operations or activities, reducing the number of arrangements that qualify as derivatives. The ASU also clarifies the accounting for share-based consideration received from a customer. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11). The purpose of this ASU is to improve the guidance of Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by providing clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. This amendment also provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU also add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all public companies for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company’s operations or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Note 5 –Acquisition of SemiCab, Inc.’s Assets

On June 11, 2024, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, SemiCab, Inc., Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume certain specified liabilities, of SemiCab, Inc. On July 3, 2024 (the “Acquisition Date”), the parties completed the acquisition and, on that date, the Company issued 3,209 shares of the Company’s common stock and a 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings to SemiCab, Inc. The Company acquired SemiCab, Inc.’s business to diversify the Company’s business.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that the Company entered into on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement that granted SemiCab Holdings the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SMCB, which is a subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc., for 1,605 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not exercise this right and the option agreement expired unexercised on August 31, 2024.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, effective July 3, 2024, SemiCab Holdings entered into employment agreements with Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal.

The equity plan provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.

The number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance under the plan was 1,167 shares of common stock and thereafter, beginning in 2023, an annual increase would occur as of the first day of the Company’s applicable fiscal year equal to the lesser of: (i) five percent of the outstanding shares of common stock calculated on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii)167 shares; and (iii) a lesser amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the equity plan that lapse, terminate, expire prior to exercise, are canceled, or are forfeited, become available for issuance again under the equity plan. Shares subject to a stock award under the equity plan do not become available for issuance or delivery again under the equity plan if such shares are: (i) shares tendered by a participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the Company for the exercise or purchase price of an award; or (ii) shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an award.

The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the plan or a portion of it at any time; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the plan. The plan is scheduled to terminate automatically in 10 years following the earlier of: (i) the date the Company’s board of directors adopted the plan; and (ii) the date the stockholders approved the plan.

On November 20, 2025, the plan was amended to provide that the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan is 5,000,000 and that, commencing January 1, 2025, on the first day of each of the Company’s fiscal years thereafter, this number will be increased by the lesser of: (i)15% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) an amount determined by the board of directors, provided that any shares from any such increases in previous years that are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the plan. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, there were 5,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan.

Of this amount, awards representing 283,666 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and. On January 1, 2026, the number of shares available for issuance under the plan increased to 5,750,000 in accordance with the terms of the plan.

As of December 31, 2025,4,716,334 shares remained available for issuance under the plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $90,000 and $69,000, respectively.

Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock underlying in-the-money options and warrants have been issued upon the exercise of the options and warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method.

For the year ended December 31, 2025,181,067 shares of common stock underlying stock options and 1,138,163 shares of common stock underlying warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2024,536 shares of common stock underlying stock options and 563,335 shares of common stock underlying warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

No interest would accrue on the notes unless and until an event of default occurred, upon which interest would accrue at a rate of 14% per year. The notes had a maturity date of January 22, 2025.

The Offering closed on October 24, 2024. At closing, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,500 shares of its common stock and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,352,941 to the purchasers for total proceeds of $2,000,000 net of original issue discount of $352,941. The Company recorded amortization of original issue discount in the amount of $352,941 during the year ended December 31, 2024, which was recorded in interest expense in other expense in the Company’s statement of operations. The 11,500 shares of common stock were valued at $943,000 on the date of issuance and were recorded as a debt issuance cost, fully amortized to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company repaid the notes in full during the 2024 year. Univest Securities served as the placement agent in the offering and received seven percent of the gross proceeds received by the Company and reimbursement of the legal fees of its counsel.

December 2024 Public Offering

On December 4, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in connection with a public offering of an aggregate of 21,000 shares of its common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 258,412 shares of common stock, Series A warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock, and Series B warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock, or a pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with the accompanying warrants to purchase one share of common stock.

The public offering price for each share of common stock and one accompanying Series A warrant and Series B warrants was $34.00. The public offering price of each pre-funded warrant and one accompanying Series A warrant and Series B warrant was $32.00. The exercise price of each pre-funded warrant was $2.00 per share. Each Series A warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock and had an initial exercise price equal to $34.00. Each Series B warrant was exercisable for one share of common stock and had an initial exercise price equal to $68.00. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds upon the closing of the offering of approximately $9,000,000, before deducting placement agents’ fees and other offering expenses.

The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance and were exercisable at any time until all pre-funded warrants were exercised in full. The Series A and B warrants were exercisable only upon receipt of such shareholder approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Nasdaq”) to permit the exercise of the Series A and B warrants, after which the Series A and B warrants became exercisable for a period of five years and two and one-half years, respectively. The pre-funded warrants and Series A and B warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price, including for stock splits, stock dividends and pro rata distributions, and customary terms regarding the treatment of the pre-funded warrants and the Series A and B warrants in the event of a fundamental transaction, including but not limited to a merger or consolidation involving the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a business combination resulting in any person acquiring more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Additionally, the pre-funded warrants and Series A and B warrants include restrictions on exercise in the event the purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

The Series A and B warrants include an exercise price adjustment feature upon shareholder approval, whereby the exercise price adjusted to the greater of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the reset period or the floor price, which is $6.844 per share, with a proportional increase in the number of warrant shares. The Series A and B warrants can be settled by a cash exercise or by cashless exercise, and the Series B warrants specifically can be settled by way of an alternative cashless exercise after shareholder approval is obtained, in which the Series B warrant holders can receive the same number of shares of common stock that would be issuable under a cash exercise. Upon meeting certain stock price requirements, the Company has the right to redeem any outstanding Series A and Series B warrants for $2.00 per share, provided the holders do not elect to exercise prior to redemption.

The Company assessed the Series A and B warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Series A and B warrants needed to be classified as liabilities as they did not meet the requirements to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, due to (a) the adjustment to the exercise price tied to shareholder approval, and (b) the potential change in the settlement amount of the Series B warrants upon an alternative cashless exercise election. Additionally, the Company concluded at issuance that it would not have sufficient authorized and available shares of common stock to settle the Series A and B warrants. SeeNote 13 – Derivative Liability.

At inception, the estimated fair value of the Series A warrants was $5,900,000 and the Series B warrants was $11,000,000, for a total estimated fair value of $16,900,000. The total fair value exceeded the proceeds received in the offering by $8,000,000, which the Company recorded as a loss upon issuance of warrants. The Company also expensed approximately $900,000 of issuance costs incurred in the offering, resulting in a total loss on issuance during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $8,889,000. The estimated fair values of the Series A and B warrants have been recorded as a derivative liability at issuance and at December 31, 2024. In the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $334,000 for the change in the fair value measurement of the warrant liability.

During December 2024, the 258,412 pre-funded warrants were exercised in full, resulting in the Company receiving $500,000 in cash proceeds.

On January 13, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Series A and B warrants, at which time all of the Series A and B warrants became exercisable. This approval triggered an adjustment to the exercise price of the Series A warrants to $8.38. In connection with this approval, the holders of the Series B Warrants exercised their warrants in full under the alternative cashless exercise provision, resulting in the issuance of 1,910,975 shares of common stock and no additional proceeds received by the Company. The warrant liability reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company recognized a loss of $6,468,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025 for the change in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilityas of the date the warrant liability was reclassified to equity.

On December 18, 2024, the Company sold 120,337 shares of its common stock to accredited investors in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $16.62 per share.

The Company also agreed to issue an additional 95,694 shares of the Company’s common stock to Streeterville as a commitment fee for the pre-paid purchase facility established under the securities purchase agreement (the “Commitment Shares”). The securities purchase agreement provides for a two-year commitment period during which, subject to certain specified conditions, the Company may request additional Pre-Paid Purchases from Streeterville provided that the amount requested is no less than $250,000 and the total outstanding balance of all Pre-Paid Purchases does not exceed $3,000,000.

The Company also executed a guaranty, a security agreement, and intellectual property security agreement in favor of Streeterville as part of the Streeterville Transaction.

Following the funding of each Pre-Paid Purchase, Streeterville has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the Company that number of shares of common stock up to the lesser of: (i) a number of shares of common stock equal in value to the outstanding balance of the funded amount, and (ii) that number of shares of common stock such that Streeterville will not beneficially own greater than 9.99% of the Company outstanding shares of common stock. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the purchase notice date, but not less than the floor price, which is the greater of: (i)20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) prior to the applicable closing of the Pre-Paid Purchase, and (ii) $0.10.

The registration statement became effective on November 10, 2025.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) provides that shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of the Company common stock equal or greater in number to 20% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the proposed issuance at a price that is less than the “Minimum Price” as such term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) in a transaction that is not a public offering. The Company obtained the requisite shareholder approval for the Streeterville Transaction on November 20, 2025.

The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of a Pre-Paid Purchase. In the event the Company elect to do so, the Company must pay Streeterville an amount equal to 110% multiplied by the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elected to prepay. If an event of default occurs under a Pre-Paid Purchase, the outstanding balance will become immediately due and payable. At anytime thereafter, upon written notice given by Streeterville, the outstanding balance will increase by seven-and-a half percent and interest will begin accruing at a rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The Company obligations are secured by all of the Company assets pursuant to a security agreement and have been guaranteed by the Company’s operating subsidiaries pursuant to a guarantee, each entered into with Streeterville on August 21, 2025.

Univest Securities, LLC served as the placement agent in the offering (“Univest”). The Company agreed to pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that it receives from any Pre-Paid Purchases that it completes and reimburse Univest for legal fees in the amount of $40,000.

The securities purchase agreement provides for an initial Secured Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $4,390,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $360,000 and transaction expenses of $30,000 (the “First Pre-Paid Purchase”), the terms of which are set forth on secured prepaid purchase #1 (“Pre-Paid Purchase #1”).

The Second Pre-Paid Purchase was similar to the First Pre-Paid Purchase, however the Second Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of: (i) $4,500,000, and (ii)90% of the then-current outstanding balance of the Second Pre-Paid Purchase (the “PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount”).

Accordingly, of the $5,000,000 proceeds that the Company received from the Second Pre-Paid Purchase, $4,500,000 were placed in the DACA Account.

The Company has the right to use funds in the DACA Account to repay any portion of the outstanding balance of the Second Pre-Paid Purchase, but only so long as the payment does not cause the outstanding balance to drop below the PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount. As long as no event of default has occurred, the Company may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount. RIME Holdings executed a guaranty of the obligations outstanding under the Second Pre-Paid Purchase for the benefit of Streeterville.

The Company entered into a new placement agency agreement with Univest that superseded the placement agency agreement that the Company previously entered into with them on August 21, 2025. The Company agreed to pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that the Company receives from any Pre-Paid Purchases that the Company completes and reimburse Univest for legal fees in the amount of $50,000.

Note 13 –Derivative Liability

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had derivative warrant liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These fair value measurements were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the key inputs described below. Each of these fair value measurements was considered to be a Level 3 measurement by the Company as they used significant unobservable inputs, including the probability and expected date of stockholder approval.

The key inputs for the Series A warrant liabilities were as follows:

The Series B warrant liabilities were remeasured on each exercise date based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the warrants were exercised.

On January 13, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of the Series A and Series B Warrants. This approval triggered the adjustment to the exercise price described above. In connection with this approval, the holders of the Series B warrants exercised their warrants in full under the alternative cashless exercise provision, resulting in the issuance of 1,910,975 shares of common stock and no additional proceeds received by the Company. The Series A warrants became exercisable for 1,133,652 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.38 per share after the shareholder approval adjustment was finalized on March 17, 2025. In addition, the Company reassessed the classification of the Series A warrants after the shareholder approval adjustment was finalized, concluding that the Series A warrants now met the requirements for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815. The Company adjusted the Series A Warrants to fair value upon reclassification and reclassified that value to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The following table details the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and their fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024:

The Company recognizes federal, state and foreign current tax liabilities or assets based on its estimate of taxes payable to or refundable by tax authorities in the current fiscal year. The Company also recognizes federal, state and foreign deferred tax liabilities or assets based on the Company’s estimate of future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence and judgment, are not expected to be realized.

The Company performed an analysis in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The analysis performed to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets included an evaluation of the pattern and timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the length of carryback and carryforward periods available under the applicable federal, state and foreign laws; and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and concluded that a valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was necessary based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s recent history of losses and projected losses for fiscal year 2026 and in the future.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had federal tax net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $30,911,000 that begin to expire in the year 2026. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an IRS Section 382 limitation that limited the amount available to use beginning in fiscal 2020 to $150,000 per year. In addition, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of $36,908,000 that will begin to expire in 2026. These tax net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to further adjustment based on future changes in ownership.

At December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP and concluded that a valuation allowance of $12,209,000 against deferred tax assets is necessary. The change in valuation allowance increased $4,170,000 to $12,209,000 as of December 31, 2025 from $8,039,000 as of December 31, 2024. The recognition of the remaining net deferred tax asset and corresponding tax benefit is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, and recent operating results.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest or penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties and does not have any liabilities recorded related to uncertain tax positions.

Note 15 –Segment Information and Revenue Disaggregation

Segment Information

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, an operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, for which discrete financial information is available, and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM in allocating resources and assessing performance.

Prior to August 1, 2025, the CODM determined that the Company operated intwo reportable segments: (i) the SemiCab business, and (ii) the Singing Machine business. On August 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Singing Machine business. Upon the completion of this transaction, the Company began operating as a single reportable segment consisting of its SemiCab business. As a result of the sale, the operating results and cash flows of the Singing Machine business have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Additional information regarding the discontinued operations is provided inNote 19 – Discontinued Operations.

The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated operating results including net sales, gross profit, loss from operations, and net loss from continuing operations, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. The CODM also considers consolidated operating expenses, non-financial information, and qualitative factors in evaluating performance, monitoring budgeted to actual results, and making decisions regarding capital allocation and levels of investment in operating activities. The CODM does not review segment asset information for purposes of allocating resources.

Geographic Information

Revenue is attributed to geographic areas based on the location where services are rendered. For the year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s revenues were generated from customers located in India. For the year ended December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s revenues were generated from customers located in the United States.

Notes 16 –Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties

Bank Liquidity and Financial Stability

At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of this financial institution and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Concentration

The Company derives a majority of its revenue from sales of its AI-enabled software logistics services in India. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable is concentrated with several large customers. As of December 31, 2025,58% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in India that each individually owed more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024, no customer individually owed more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

Revenue derived from the Company’s largest customer and three largest customers collectively as a percentage of total net sales was 32% and 72% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse impact on the Company.

Stingray Holdings Music Subscription Agreement

The Company has a music subscription sharing agreement with Stingray Group under which the Company generated music subscription revenue of $64,000 and $780,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This revenue was included in net loss from discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0 and $212,000, respectively, due from Stingray Group for music subscription reimbursement.

Mathieu Peloquin is the Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Communications of Stingray Group and served as a member of the Company’s board of directors until October 6, 2025.

SMCB

VIE Analysis

The Company determined that SMCB, which was a subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc. prior to SemiCab Holdings’ acquisition of 99.99% of the equity shares of SMCB on May 2, 2025, was a VIE as the Company provides financial support to SMCB. While not contractually obligated, SMCB currently relies on the Company’s reimbursement of certain costs under an intercompany services agreement (“MSA”) whereby SMCB agrees to provide IT software development services to SemiCab, Inc. In exchange, under the MSA, the Company grants intellectual property rights to SMCB to use the software platform in India. Compensation for services is invoiced and paid on a monthly or quarterly basis as agreed by both parties, with rates subject to periodic review and revision. The agreement is for a term of two years ending on April 1, 2025 and automatically renews for additional 12-month periods unless prior notice is given by the terminating party. The agreement automatically renewed for an additional 12-month period on April 1, 2025. As a result of this relationship and the financial support provided by the Company to SMCB under the loan agreement described below to fund SMCB’s operations, SMCB has been determined to be a VIE prior to May 2, 2025.

The Company further determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because the Company did not have the power to direct or control SMCB’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its condensed consolidated financial statements prior to May 2, 2025.

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that the Company entered into on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement that granted SemiCab Holdings the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SMCB for 1,605 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not exercise this right and the option agreement expired on August 31, 2024.

Loan Agreement

The Company is a party to a loan agreement with SMCB dated March 22, 2024. Under the loan agreement, the Company agreed to loan up to $2,500,000 to SMCB. The loans are anticipated to be made in tranches. Disbursements of any tranches are fully at the discretion of the Company. Each tranche has a repayment period of five years. The loans can be repaid at any time prior to the five-year maturity date without penalty. Interest on the loans accrues at a rate of six percent per year and is payable quarterly.

At December 31, 2024, a total of $1,140,000 was outstanding under the loan agreement. During the period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending May 2, 2025, the date the Company acquired 99.99% of the equity shares of SMCB, the Company made advances to SMCB in the amount of $1,172,000. During the same period, SMCB charged $304,000 for services to the Company that were performed under the MSA, which charges offset amounts due under the loan with SMCB. As a result, as of May 2, 2025, a total of $2,008,000 of loans were outstanding under the loan agreement, and a total of $492,000 remained available for future borrowings under the loan agreement as of May 2, 2025. As of May 2, 2025, SMCB had not made any interest payments due under the loan agreement. As a result, the loans were in default as of May 2, 2025.

On May 2, 2025, the loan payable of $2,008,000 of SMCB and the loan receivable of $2,008,000 of the Company were eliminated in consolidation. As a result, no such loans payable and loans receivable were outstanding on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025. Also on May 2, 2025, revenue generated by SMCB for services performed by SMCB under the MSA of $304,000, and expenses for the Company for services performed by SMCB under the MSA of $304,000, during the period commencing January 1, 2025 and ending May 2, 2025 were eliminated in consolidation on May 2, 2025. As a result, no such revenue and expenses were reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The current outstanding balance of the First Pre-Paid Purchase is $1,085,000.

Between January 1, 2026 and February 13, 2026, the Company repaid outstanding principal in the amount of $4,912,000 under the Second Pre-Paid Purchase as a result of Streeterville exercising its right to purchase an aggregate of 6,447,017 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Pre-Paid Purchase #4

On February 17, 2026, the Company entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 with Streeterville (“Pre-Paid Purchase #4”). Pre-Paid Purchase #4 provides for a fourth Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $10,355,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $855,000 (the “Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase”). The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent per annum and has a maturity date of three years. The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is similar to the Second Pre-Paid Purchase in that the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of: (i) $3,500,000, and (ii)90% of the then-current outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase (the “PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount”).

The Company has the right to use funds in the DACA Account to repay any portion of the outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, but only so long as the payment does not cause the outstanding balance to drop below the PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount. As long as no event of default has occurred, the Company may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount. RIME Holdings executed a guaranty of the obligations outstanding under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase for the benefit of Streeterville.

The Company will pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the funds held in the DACA Account when they are released to the Company.

The Company has not repaid any of the principal outstanding under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase.
