Restricted stock units (RSUs)

Current report

In January 2026, 1,217,210 awards had been granted as Restricted stock units under the 2025 Plan as of period ended March 31, 2026, whose impact has been considered on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of that date.

Forward Purchase Agreement

Current report

The Company entered into an amendment on February 3, 2026 to the Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) originally entered into on July 31, 2025 with Meteora Capital Partners and affiliates. The Amendment replaces the agreement’s previously fixed Termination Price of $12.00 per share with a weekly-reset Termination Price equal to the lower of (a) $12.00 and (b) the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Shares for the immediately preceding week (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.), subject to Reset Price Floors applied on a tranche basis (50% of the Shares: $2.50 floor; 50% of the Shares: $5.00 floor). The effect of amendment has been taken in change in fair value of forward purchase derivative liabilities (refer to Note 3 - Fair value measurements of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statement).

Current report

Cashless Exercise of Stock Options

Current report

In February 2026, one of the Fusemachines employees exercised an aggregate of 1,715 options to purchase shares of Fusemachines common stock on a cashless basis via net share settlement resulting in the net share issuance of 974 shares of Fusemachines common stock. The transaction has been accounted under the guidance of ASC 718 - Stock Compensation. The cashless exercise mechanism does not change the substantive terms or fair-value-based measure of the awards and therefore does not constitute a modification under ASC 718 during the period ended March 31, 2026.

Current report

Shortfall Warrant

Current report

On February 3, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant Amendment”) originally issued on October 22, 2025 in connection with the Business Combination with Meteora Capital Partners, LP, Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP and Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Holder”). Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, the exercise price of the warrant was reduced from $12.00 to $10.00 per share of the Company’s Class A common stock, subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the warrant agreement. All other terms and conditions of the warrant, including the number of shares issuable upon exercise (2,108,070 shares), remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect. As a result of the reduction in exercise price, the Company recognized a deemed dividend equal to the incremental fair value of the Shortfall Warrants resulting from the Warrant Amendment, measured as of February 3, 2026. The deemed dividend amounting to $84.1 thousand has been recorded as a charge to accumulated deficit with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital and, while it does not affect net loss, is deducted from net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for purposes of computing net loss per share.

Key Factors and Trends Affecting Results of Operations

Current report

We believe the following factors and trends may cause previously reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial conditions:

Current report

●Market Competition: The AI industry is highly competitive and is changing rapidly with numerous players vying for market share. We attempt to mitigate this risk by continuously innovating and differentiating our offerings, as we have been delivering AI solutions for well over a decade and have deep institutional capabilities to stand apart in terms of our ability to provide value to our customers and scale. Nevertheless, increasing competition could result in loss of business or pressure on margins for Fusemachines.

Current report

●Technological Changes: Rapid technological advancements in AI can impact our offering, dilute our value proposition and require us to pivot in different directions. However, given our broad spectrum of AI solutions, coupled with our ability to produce AI talent, our deep investment in research and development, and a culture of continuous learning, we have been able to navigate these changes effectively.

Current report

●Adequate Capital Raise: As of March 31, 2026, we had limited financial resources However, on April 17, 2026, subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2026, Fusemachines Inc. entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a related Registration Rights Agreement with Roth Principal Investments, LLC (“Roth Principal Investments”), an affiliate of Roth Capital Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Roth Principal Investments up to $20,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds of shares of common stock (par value $0.0001 per share) from time to time over a 36-month commitment period, at the Company’s sole discretion. Although we entered into the Purchase Agreement during 2026, we expect that additional capital will be required to fund operations, support product development, expand selling and marketing activities, and meet our working capital requirements.

Current report

We may seek to raise additional funds through equity offerings, debt financings, strategic investments, or other capital sources. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to us to fund our operating expenses and to further develop our business. Unless we achieve substantial profitability, we anticipate that we will likely need to raise additional capital to fund our operations while we implement and execute our business plan.

Current report

●Ability to manage costs and expenses while achieving revenue growth: Our results of operations may fluctuate, in part, because of the intensive nature of our sales efforts and the length and unpredictability of our sales cycle. As part of our sales efforts, we invest considerable time and expense evaluating the specific organizational needs of our potential customers and educating these potential customers about the technical capabilities and value of our platforms and services. As part of our sales efforts, we also provide our platforms to potential customers at no or low cost initially to them for evaluation purposes through short-term pilot deployments of our platforms, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to convert customers from these short-term pilot deployments to full revenue generating contracts.

Current report

●Finance costs: Historically, the Company issued certain convertible promissory notes to finance its operations, as further described in “Note 5 – Long-Term Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These instruments bore interest and were subject to automatic conversion. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination during 2025, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under these convertible notes were converted into equity securities in accordance with their contractual terms. As a result, no convertible promissory notes remained outstanding as of March 31, 2026 other than related party note payable related to Dolma Impact Fund I (“Dolma”) amounting to $300 thousand. Following the conversion, the Company no longer incurs interest expense related to these instruments, which has reduced ongoing finance costs compared to prior periods.

Current report

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

Current report

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. While the Company is considered to be an emerging growth company, the Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Current report

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $250 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Current report

Segment Reporting

Current report

We operate as one operating segment with a focus on data engineering, artificial intelligence consulting, and technical services. Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as our chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of the Company on a consolidated basis. This enables our CEO to assess the overall level of available resources and determine how best to deploy these resources across service lines in line with our long-term company-wide strategic goals.
