Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On December 12, 2025, AVALON GLOBOCARE CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Avalon”), acquired RPM INTERACTIVE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“RPM”), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 12, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 14, 2025 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and RPM. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, RPM merged with and into the Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Merger Sub was the surviving entity and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the stockholders of RPM 19,500 shares of Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) (as described below), which have an aggregate stated and liquidation value of Nineteen Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars and Zero Cents ($19,500,000.00). Each share of Series E Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) and is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Value divided by $1.50 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain conditions described in Item 5.03 below which include, among others, limiting the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that can convert if such conversion would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon such conversion without breaching the Company’s obligations under the NASDAQ listing rules and regulations.
As a result of this transaction, as of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company believes it has stockholders’ equity in excess of $2.5 million as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties as well as certain pre-closing and post-closing covenants.
Reference is made to the discussion of the Series E Preferred Stock in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to hold a stockholders’ meeting on May 12, 2026 or as promptly as practicable thereafter to submit for their approval of the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with certain of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Conversion Proposal”). In connection with these matters, the Company agreed file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement and other relevant materials as soon as practicable following closing.
In addition, the Company agreed to appoint Mike Mathews as a director of the Company at the closing. Reference is made to the discussion of Mr. Mathews appointment as a director in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the Merger Agreement and the related transactions, and the consummation of the Merger did not require the approval of the Company stockholders.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or RPM. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the Company and RPM made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement between the Company and RPM and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Company and RPM in connection with negotiating its terms, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to investors or securityholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and RPM rather than establishing matters as facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. For the foregoing reasons, no person should rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information at the time they were made or otherwise.

Bridge Note Transaction
On December 11, 2025, Avalon GloboCare Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Allen O Cage Jr., an individual (the “Holder”), pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured bridge note (the “Note”) with a maturity date of April 15, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), in the principal sum of $375,000 (the “Principal Sum”). The Note carries an original issue discount of $75,000. Accordingly, on December 11, 2025, the Holder paid the purchase price of $300,000 to the Company for the Note. The Company is required to make the following payments in cash to the Holder under the Note: (i) $125,000 on February 15, 2026, (ii) $125,000 on March 15, 2026, and (iii) $125,000 on April 15, 2026. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Note, the Holder may convert the Note into the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price equal to 50% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading day period prior to the respective conversion date (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in the Note as well as beneficial ownership limitations. The Conversion Price may not be lower than the floor price, which is equal to 80% of the Minimum Price (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, Rule 5635(d)(1)(A)) measured from the effective date of the Purchase Agreement, or such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to downward adjustments for share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events (for the avoidance of doubt, share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events shall not cause an adjustment to increase the floor price). The Company agreed to issue 100,000 shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company. The issuance of such 100,000 shares as well as any conversion of the Note into shares of Common Stock is subject to the prior shareholder approval of the Company as is required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor entity).
The foregoing descriptions of the Note and Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note and Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

(c) The obligations of Purchaser and the Surviving Entity under this Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.11 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.11 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.11, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.11).

The parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
8.4. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8.4 will be null and void ab initio; provided, however, that after the Closing, Purchaser and the Company may assign its rights and benefits hereunder (i) to any Affiliate of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable (provided, that Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall remain primarily responsible for its obligations hereunder), (ii) to any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or a majority of the outstanding equity securities of Purchaser or the Company (whether by stock purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise); provided, that the assignee expressly assumes the obligations of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, hereunder or (iii) as security to any Person providing debt financing to Purchaser or its Affiliates for the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each Party hereto.
8.5. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights of the Indemnified Parties set forth herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties hereto and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
8.6. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (a) the failure of any Party at any time to require performance by the other of any provision of this Agreement will not affect such Party’s right thereafter to enforce the same; (b) no waiver by any Party of any default by any other Party will be valid unless in writing and acknowledged by an authorized representative of the non-defaulting Party, and no such waiver will be taken or held to be a waiver by such Party of any other preceding or subsequent default; and (c) no extension of time granted by any Party for the performance of any obligation or act by any other Party will be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.
8.7. Entire Agreement.

8.9. Dispute Resolution. Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section 8.9) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 8.9. A Party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other Parties subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The Parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other parties subject to such Dispute; the “Resolution Period”); provided, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Procedures”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). Any Party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period. To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator nominated by the AAA promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the submission of the Dispute to the AAA and reasonably acceptable to each Party subject to the Dispute, which arbitrator shall be a commercial lawyer with substantial experience arbitrating disputes under acquisition agreements. The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the arbitration process promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the Parties subject to the Dispute. The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of Delaware. Time is of the essence. Each Party shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within twenty (20) days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any Party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant Party (or Parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator’s reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
8.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada (without giving effect to its choice of law principles). Subject to Section 8.9, for purposes of any Action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, each Party hereto (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located within New York County, State of New York (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken), (b) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 8.1 shall be effective service of process for any Action with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 8.10, (c) waives and covenants not to assert or plead, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and hereby agrees not to challenge such jurisdiction or venue by reason of any offsets or counterclaims in any such Action, and (d) waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or in equity.
-31-
8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive the right any may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement and any agreement contemplated to be executed in connection herewith, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any party in connection with such agreements, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in tort or contract or otherwise. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been informed by the other parties hereto that this Section 8.11 constitutes a material inducement upon which they are relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement. Any party hereto may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section 8.11 with any court as written evidence of the consent of each such party to the waiver of its right to trial by jury.
8.12. Interpretation. The table of contents and the headings and subheadings of this Agreement are for reference and convenience purposes only and in no way modify, interpret or construe the meaning of specific provisions of the Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, if applicable, only if such successors and assigns are permitted by this Agreement, and reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity; (iii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iv) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision of this Agreement; (v) the word “if” and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if”; (vi) the term “or” means “and/or”; (vii) reference to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States Dollars; (viii) reference to any statute includes any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (ix) any agreement, instrument, insurance policy, Law or Order defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, insurance policy, Law or Order as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes, regulations, rules or orders) by succession of comparable successor statutes, regulations, rules or orders and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; and (x) except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to the words “Section,” “Schedule” and “Exhibit” are intended to refer to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement.
8.13. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
8.14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A photocopy, faxed, scanned and/or emailed copy of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, shall have the same validity and enforceability as an originally signed copy.

Section 6. Conversion.
a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time from and after May 12, 2026, or such earlier time as consented to by the Company in writing, at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as defined below). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by email such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. From and after the Conversion Date, until presented for transfer or exchange, certificates that previously represented shares of Preferred Stock, if any, shall represent, in lieu of the number of shares of Preferred Stock previously represented by such certificate, the number of shares of Preferred Stock, if any, previously represented by such certificate that were not converted pursuant to the Notice of Conversion, plus the number of shares of Conversion Shares into which the shares of Preferred Stock previously represented by such certificate were converted. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s), if any, representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate, if any, representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued as shares of Preferred Stock and shall automatically and without further action by the Corporation be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation.
b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).
c) Mechanics of Conversion
i. Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Corporation’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.
ii. Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
Page 4 of 12
iii. Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder.
iv. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances.
v. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share of Common Stock which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but consistent with the provisions of this subsection with respect to fractional Conversion Shares, nothing shall prevent any Holder from converting fractional shares of Preferred Stock.
vi. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
d) Beneficial Ownership Limitations.
i. Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, if after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that the calculations and determinations set forth in this Section 6(d) are in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be waived by the Corporation or the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Stock or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Series E Certificate of Designation if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion (as the case may be) of the Preferred Stock without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations the listing rules of the Principal Market (the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount (the “Stockholder Approval Date”) or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Initial Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the aggregate number of Preferred Stock issued to such Holder on the Initial Issuance Date divided by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Initial Issuance Date (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Stock, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Preferred Stock so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a Holder’s Preferred Stock, the difference (if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder’s conversion in full of such Preferred Stock shall be allocated, to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the shares of preferred stock of the Company then held by each such holder of Preferred Shares and/or Parity Stock, as applicable.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offering. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that, prior to the date of the Stockholder Approval, the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction (other than any dividend or distribution as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 7(a)) (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case, each Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
Page 7 of 12
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, at the closing of such Fundamental Transaction, without any action on the part of the Holder, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, or other consideration (the “Alternate Conversion Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Stock). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the relative value or benefits of any different components of the Alternate Conversion Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Conversion Consideration. For avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Price at the time of conversion is already adjusted to reflect the value or benefits of the Alternative Conversion Consideration, then no additional value or benefits shall be allocated to the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon the conversion.
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to the Holders.
i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the adjustment required to be specified in such notice.
ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on the Common Stock or shall repurchase the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock in their capacities as such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall email to each Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the stock ledger of the Corporation, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert its Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(c) Holder’s Conversion Limitations.
(i) The Company shall not affect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon: (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Conversion Amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other notes, warrants, or other convertible securities) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which Conversion Amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, Company and Holder agree that the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder hereunder together with all other Transaction Documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) the (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), without Shareholder Approval. If the number of shares of Common Stock issued to Holder reaches the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, so as not to violate the 20% limit established in Listing Rule 5635(d), the Company will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval of the Note and the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of additional portions of this Note, if necessary, in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). If the Company is unable to obtain such Approval, any remaining outstanding balance of this Note must be repaid in cash.
Section 5. Certain Adjustments.

If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or in Common Stock Equivalents or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time while this Note is outstanding on or after the date of the occurrence (if any) of an Event of Default, the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of the Company’s equity securities (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of the Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding on or after the date of the occurrence (if any) of an Event of Default, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
6
(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding on or after the date of the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default: (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which, at any time while this Note is outstanding on or after the date of the occurrence (if any) of an Event of Default, holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible, if any, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(j) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(d) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the County of New York, New York (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.
(f) Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances.

The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
(h) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(i) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Section 10. Usury. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Holder to the unpaid principal amount of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Holder’s election.

(a) Authority; Organization. Such Investor has full power and authority (and, if such Investor is an individual, the capacity) to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. If an entity, such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Own Account. Such Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Investor’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and State Securities Laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable State Securities Law. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Non-Transferrable. Such Investor agrees: (i) that the Investor will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Securities under the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws, (ii) that the certificates representing the Securities will bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
6
(d) Investor Status. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Investor agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities. Any information that has been furnished or that will be furnished by the undersigned to evidence its status as an accredited investor is accurate and complete, and does not contain any misrepresentation or material omission.
(e) Experience of Such Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(f) No Trading Market. Such Investor acknowledges that there is currently no active trading market for the Note and that none is expected to develop.
(g) General Solicitation. Such Investor undersigned acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other person offered to sell the Securities to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
(h) Confidentiality. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and its advisors who have agreed to keep information confidential or have a fiduciary obligation to keep such information confidential, such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(i) Foreign Investor. If such Investor is not a United States person, such Investor represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including: (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The Investor further represents that its payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.
(j) Information from Company. Such Investor and its investment managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information presented by the Company in this Agreement and have had all inquiries to the Company answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Company and the Offering and sale of the Securities and anything set forth in the Transaction Documents. Neither the Investor nor the Investor’s investment managers, if any, have been furnished any offering literature by the Company or any of its Affiliates, associates, or agents other than the Transaction Documents, and the agreements referenced therein.
(k) Speculative Nature of Investment; Risk Factors. SUCH INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. Such Investor acknowledges that: (i) any projections, forecasts or estimates as may have been provided to the Investor are purely speculative and cannot be relied upon to indicate actual results that may be obtained through this investment; any such projections, forecasts and estimates are based upon assumptions which are subject to change and which are beyond the control of the Company or its management, (ii) the tax effects which may be expected by this investment are not susceptible to absolute prediction, and new developments and rules of the Internal Revenue Service, audit adjustment, court decisions or legislative changes may have an adverse effect on one or more of the tax consequences of this investment, and (iii) the Investor has been advised to consult with his own advisor regarding legal matters and tax consequences involving this investment. The Investor represents that the Investor’s investment objective is speculative in that the Investor seeks the maximum total return through an investment in a broad spectrum of securities, which involves a higher degree of risk than other investment styles and therefore the Investor’s risk exposure is also speculative. The Securities offered hereby are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk and Investor should only purchase these securities if Investor can afford to lose its entire investment.
7
(l) Money Laundering. If an entity, the operations of such Investor are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.02 shall not modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
Section 4.01 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. The Securities may not be sold or transferred by the Investor without the written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition of such sale or transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of an Investor under this Agreement.
(b) The Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.01, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES FOR/INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE/CONVERTIBLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
(c) Upon the Investor’s request in connection with a proposed sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 and if the Company reasonably determines it is so required, upon receipt of customary documentation from Investor’s broker (if the Securities are sold in brokers transactions), the Company shall, at its own cost and effort, retain legal counsel to provide an opinion letter to the Company’s transfer agent opining that the Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated thereunder, so long as the requirements of Rule 144 are met for any Securities to be resold thereunder. The Company shall arrange for any such opinion letter to be provided not later than two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery to and receipt by the Company of a written request by the Investor together with (if required in order to render the opinion) any broker’s representation letter of other customary documentation reasonably requested by the Company evidencing compliance with Rule 144 (the “Legend Removal Date”), and such opinion letter may be a “blanket” opinion letter covering Securities held by more than one Investor (if applicable to more than one Investor).
8
(d) The Investor agrees that it will sell any Securities only pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.01 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

Further, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Note, in no event shall the Company issue a number of Conversion Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap prior to the time that Equityholder Approval shall have been obtained for such issuance.

Exhibit 99.1

Avalon GloboCare Acquires RPM Interactive, a Generative AI Software Company, in an All-Stock Transaction
Company forms a new subsidiary, Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, in connection with the acquisition
Acquisition expected to resolve Nasdaq minimum stockholders’ equity deficiency
RPM Interactive has developed a fully automated, generative AI powered SaaS platform for creating short-form video content
FREEHOLD, N.J., December 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALBT), a developer of precision diagnostic consumer products, today announced that it has acquired RPM Interactive, Inc. (“RPM”), a generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) publishing and software company, in an all-stock transaction. As a result of the acquisition, the Company believes its stockholders’ equity now exceeds the $2.5 million minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 12, 2025 by and among the Company, Avalon Quantum AI, LLC and RPM (the “Merger Agreement”), RPM merged with and into Avalon Quantum AI, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Avalon issued 19,500 shares of Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) to RPM’s stockholders, representing a total purchase price of $19.5 million. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock carries a stated value of $1,000 and is convertible into shares of Avalon’s common stock at a $1.50 conversion price, subject to customary conditions and subject to a beneficial ownership limitation at any time of 4.99% of the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Series E Preferred Stock is only convertible from and after May 12, 2026 and any such conversion is subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules among other limitations on conversion.
RPM has developed the Catch-Up Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, a system that intelligently sources relevant video clips, generates human-like AI commentary, creates an engaging on-screen avatar, and publishes finished content to all major platforms – all on an automated basis. Marketing for this software platform is expected to begin immediately after the new year.
The Catch-Up SaaS platform is expected to be licensed to successful content creators, media companies, and brands to efficiently generate recap-style videos across news, politics, sports, finance, entertainment, and other evergreen categories—without requiring manual editing, production tools, or technical expertise. This new, unique video format has been designed to give successful content creators a second video format to publish with, driving up their volume of videos produced each week and revenues.
Avalon plans to leverage the Catch-Up platform to support and amplify marketing initiatives for KetoAir™, the Company’s FDA-registered breathalyzer designed to help consumers easily monitor and manage their wellness and metabolic health. The pairing of Avalon’s consumer health products with RPM’s AI-driven content engine is expected to accelerate audience reach, digital engagement, and adoption of Avalon’s product portfolio.
“The acquisition of RPM is an important strategic step for Avalon,” said Meng Li, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Avalon GloboCare. “Integrating RPM’s AI-driven video studio with our consumer health products, starting with the launch of KetoAir™, will enhance our marketing capabilities, broaden our digital reach, and support our long-term value creation strategy. We look forward to leveraging RPM’s technology to elevate our brand visibility and strengthen our position in the precision wellness market.”
“RPM’s Catch-Up SaaS platform represents a breakthrough in how short-form video content can be created, scaled, and monetized,” said Michael Mathews, Chief Executive Officer of RPM. “By leveraging our fully automated generative AI video studio to support the marketing and efforts behind Avalon’s KetoAir™, we believe we can significantly enhance digital engagement and create new opportunities to reach health and wellness-focused consumers.”
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Michael Mathews has been appointed to Avalon’s Board of Directors. Michael Mathews is a seasoned technology and digital media executive with more than two decades of leadership experience across AI, internet services, digital marketing, and online learning sectors. He currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aspen Group, Inc. (OTCQB: ASPU), which owns Aspen University and United States University. ASPU holds a unique position in the higher education sector, as they uniquely offer students monthly payment plans allowing students the ability to graduate debt free.
Previously, Mr. Mathews served as Chief Executive Officer and Director of Interclick, Inc., a data-driven digital advertising technology company. Under his leadership, Interclick became a category leader and was acquired by Yahoo, Inc. in 2011.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Mathews held senior leadership roles including Senior Vice President of Marketing and Publisher Services at World Avenue U.S.A., LLC, where he oversaw strategic marketing, publisher development, and large-scale digital distribution initiatives.

“Michael is a recognized innovator in performance marketing and AI-enabled content systems,” added Meng Li, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Avalon GloboCare. “He brings deep experience in scaling technology platforms, driving digital engagement, and building long-term shareholder value. We are pleased to welcome him to our Board as we execute on our growth and technology integration strategy.”
E.F. Hutton & Co. served as financial advisor to RPM Interactive, Inc. in connection with the transaction.
The Company also has a pending merger with YOOV Group Holdings Limited, a provider of advanced artificial intelligence automation solutions and currently has an S-4 registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was originally filed April 29, 2025.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RPM Interactive, Inc. and consolidated entities (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the each of the two years in the period ended December 31 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of the two years in the period ended December 31 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses since inception and in fiscal 2024 has a net loss of $2,076,592 and cash used in operations of $1,445,352. The Company also had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $6,067,579 and $4,570,881, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

F-2
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allocation of Certain Expenses of Parent to the Company
As described in footnote 2 “Basis of Presentation” to the consolidated financial statements, the parent allocated certain expenses to the Company using a proportional allocation method. This proportional allocation was based upon a ratio of the Company’s direct specifically identified expenses compared to the total consolidated expenses of the parent company. The determination of the method of allocation and the allocation percentage is based on subjective judgments.
We identified the determination of the method of allocation and the allocation percentage to be a critical audit matter.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following: we (a) gained an understanding of the method management selected for the allocation, (b) assessed the reasonableness of the selected method by inquiring of management and discussing other alternative methods, (c) recomputed the allocation percentage determined by management. We agreed with management’s conclusions.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the RPM Interactive and VIE entities, Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS through March 31, 2024, at which date the Metabizz VIE entities were deconsolidated.

F-8
RPM INTERACTIVE, INC.
AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
The Company has historically operated as a subsidiary of DatChat. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are derived from the historical results of operations and historical cost bases of the assets and liabilities associated with Company, plus an allocation of certain expenses incurred by DatChat on its behalf. Certain expenses have been allocated to the Company from DatChat using the specific identification method and corporate overhead expenses were allocated using a proportional allocation method. This proportional allocation was based upon RPM Interactive’s direct specifically identified expenses compared to the total DatChat consolidated expenses. Management believes that such an allocation method is reasonable. Management has determined that it is not practical to estimate what the allocated costs would have been had the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow may have differed materially if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated standalone entity as of and for the periods presented.
The Company has calculated its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology and it has presented these amounts as if it were a separate taxpayer from DatChat for the periods presented.
The Company accounts for its noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. However, since Metabizz was consolidated as VIE’s through March 31, 2024, any noncontrolling interest eliminated in consolidation. On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company ceased doing business with Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS and pays technology professionals directly.
Variable interest entities
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-25-22, an entity is defined as a VIE if it either lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or it is structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. When determining whether an entity that meets the definition of a business qualifies for a scope exception from applying VIE guidance, the Company considers whether: (i) it has participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) it has provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted on its behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary assessment must be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.
Based on the Company’s analysis, on February 14, 2023, Metabizz was determined to be VIE entities in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-22 because the equity owners in Metabizz did not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the initial equity investments in these entities may be or are insufficient to meet or sustain its operations without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The equity owners of Metabizz had only a nominal equity investment at risk, and the Company absorbed or received a majority of the entity’s expected losses or benefits. The Company participated significantly in the design of Metabizz. The Company has provided working capital advances to Metabizz to allow Metabizz to fund its 100% of its daily obligations. All activities of Metabizz were conducted for the Company’s benefit, as evidenced by the fact that the operations of Metabizz solely consisted of development of software and technologies to be used by the Company. The Company historically provided non-contractual support to Metabizz to pay employees and independent contractors who performed development services on behalf of the Company. Such support reduced our working capital and increased our net cash used in operations. Repayment of the working capital advances was not guaranteed by the equity owner of Metabizz and creditors of Metabizz do not have recourse against the Company. Accordingly, the Company was required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Metabizz using the fair value method. Additionally, the managing partner of Metabizz was also the Chief Innovation Officer of the Company. Since Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS were considered consolidated VIE’s, any noncontrolling interest eliminated in consolidation.
In connection with the initial consolidation of Metabizz, on February 14, 2023 (the initial VIE consolidation date), the Company recorded a gain on initial consolidation of variable interest entities of $42,737. In connection with the deconsolidation of Metabizz, on March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of variable interest entities of $107.
On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company ceased doing business with Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS and will pay technology professionals directly. The Company has no further obligation to support Metabizz and has no exposure to any losses as a result of its involvement with Metabizz.

Going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund its research and development activities and meet its obligations on a timely basis. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,076,592 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operations was $1,445,352 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,067,579 and a stockholders’ deficit of $3,520,881 and has generated no revenues since inception. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,570,881, including cash of $429,714. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations in the future. Although the Company has historically been funded by DatChat and from the sale of the Company’s common shares, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to raise its own capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include valuation of the purchase price for the purchase of internal-use software, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the valuation of internal-use software after initial purchase date, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of assets and liabilities of VIE’s on the initial VIE consolidation date, the allocation of expenses, assets and liabilities from Datchat, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.
F-10
RPM INTERACTIVE, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
Concentrations
The Company has historically been primarily funded by DatChat.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash of $150,925 and $0 in excess of FDIC limits, respectively.
Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Asset acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” to determine whether the acquisition should be classified as either an asset acquisition or a business combination. Acquisitions for which substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets are accounted for as an asset acquisition. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price of these acquired assets on a relative fair value basis and capitalizes direct acquisition related costs as part of the purchase price. Acquisition costs that do not meet the criteria to be capitalized are expensed as incurred and presented in general and administrative costs in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, if any.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Capitalized internal-use software costs
The Company capitalizes costs to develop or purchase internal-use software in accordance with ASC section 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software are expensed as incurred during the preliminary project stage. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized upon purchase and during the application development stage, which is after: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed; and (ii) management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the functions intended. Capitalization ceases at the point the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, and after all substantial testing is completed. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that those expenditures will result in additional functionality. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the internal-use software development costs and related upgrades and enhancements. When existing software is replaced with new software, the unamortized costs of the old software are expensed when the new software is ready for its intended use. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, software development costs incurred internally, other than purchased software, were expensed since the Company’s software development projects were in the preliminary project stage. Such costs were included in research and development costs on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets, including internal-use software, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
In accordance with ASU Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
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.
The Company shall generate revenue from the sale of in-game items to its customers. Revenue generated from such sales, primarily through the app stores, such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store, is recognized upon delivery of the in-game items to the customer, which is when the Company completes its sole performance obligation.
Research and Development
Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and include costs such as outside development costs, salaries and other allocated costs incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s software products were $691,001 and $1,382,592, respectively. Research and development costs are included in research and development expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising Costs
The Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for advertising related costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses the advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $44,493 and $250,608 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in marketing and advertising expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Except for Metabizz SAS, the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s VIE, Metabizz SAS, is the Columbian Peso (“COP”). For Metabizz SAS, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0 and $12,965, respectively. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the results of operations as incurred. On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz SAS (See Note 1).
For Metabizz SAS, which is located in Columbia, asset and liability accounts on December 31, 2023 were translated at 0.0002582 COP to $1.00, which was the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and results of operations and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rates during the period of 0.00023415 COP to $1.00.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no common stock equivalents.
Segment reporting
The Company operates as a single operating segment as a technology-based company that is developing social media applications and technologies. In accordance with ASC 280 – “Segment Reporting”, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similarities in economic characteristics such as nature of services; and procurement processes. All revenues and expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are allocated to the one segment. The Company’s single operating segment includes all of the Company’s assets and liabilities as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – INTERNAL-USE SOFTWARE
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, internal-use software consists of the following:
Useful Life (Years) | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||||
| Internal-use software | 3 Years | $ | 1,050,000 | $ | - | |||||
| Less accumulated amortization | - | - | ||||||||
| Internal-use software, net | $ | 1,050,000 | $ | - | ||||||
On October 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date” and measurement date), the Company entered into and closed on a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with (i) RPM Florida and (ii) the shareholders of RPM Florida (See Note 1). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of RPM Florida in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. RPM Florida is a web publishing company that leverages generative AI systems to offer consumers entertaining gaming apps and podcasting offerings in the sports, finance, entertainment and politics categories. These shares were valued at $1,050,000, or $0.30 per share, on the measurement date based on recent sales of shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the Exchange Agreement and the business of RPM Florida to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Other than owning certain in-development internal-use software, RPM Florida had no operations or employees and was not considered a business. No goodwill was recorded since the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as an asset purchase. In accordance with ASC 805, the fair value of the assets acquired is based on either the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable. The Company used the market price of the 3,500,000 common shares issued of $1,050,000 as the fair value of the assets acquired since this value was more clearly evident, and thus, more reliable measurable than the fair value of the assets. This acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 805 “Business Combinations” since RPM Florida did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805. ASC 805 requires the use of the relative fair value method for asset acquisitions to allocate the purchase price, however, since only a single internal-use software asset was acquired, the entire purchase price shall be allocated to this asset.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, amortization of intangible assets amounted to $0. The internal-use software has not yet been placed in service as of December 31, 2024.

Darin Myman, DatChat’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman also serves as the Company’s President and until January 2025 was its sole director. Since the Company’s formation, DatChat has been the Company’s primary source of financial support.

In its effort to build a separate management team, DatChat agreed to cancel 3,500,000 shares of the Company that DatChat held as an investment to have Michael Mathews, the prior owner of RPM Florida, join the Company’s board and serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In January 2025, DatChat cancelled the 3,500,000 and currently owns approximately 34% of the Company’s common stock. DatChat is not currently providing financial support to the Company and there is no agreement for DatChat to provide any operational funding in the future.

In connection with this consulting agreement, the Company issued 1,500,000 of its shares for services to be rendered. The shares were valued at $22,500, or $0.015 per share, based on the sale of the Company’s shares in a private transaction, which was amortized into professional fees over the term of the agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based professional fees of $22,500.
On April 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional and accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $36,000, or $0.30 per share.

These shares were valued at $1,050,000, or $0.30 per share, on the measurement date based on recent sales of shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 3).
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company maintains deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets on December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist of net operating loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of the attainment of future taxable income.
The Company has calculated its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology and it has presented these amounts as if it were a separate taxpayer from DatChat for the periods presented. Income taxes as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been allocated in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the broad principles of ASC 740. Historically, the Company’s operations have been included in DatChat’s U.S. federal consolidated tax return and certain state tax returns. For the purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the Company’s income tax provision was computed as if the Company filed separate tax returns (i.e., as if the Company had not been included in the consolidated income tax return group with DatChat). The separate return method applies ASC 740 to the consolidated financial statements of each member of a consolidated tax group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer. As a result, actual tax transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of DatChat may not be included in these consolidated financial statements. Further, the Company’s tax results as presented in the consolidated financial statements may not be reflective of the results that the Company expects to generate in the future. Also, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the consolidated financial statements may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and tax returns of DatChat. It is conceivable that items such as net operating losses, other deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances may exist in the consolidated financial statements that may or may not exist in DatChat’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
The Company has incurred aggregate net operating losses of approximately $6.074.958 and $4,033,724 for income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net operating losses carry forward for United States income taxes, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears unlikely due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating losses to reduce the asset to zero. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as necessary.
The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, 2024 | Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Income tax benefit at U.S. statutory rate | $ | (436,084 | ) | $ | (602,354 | ) | ||
| Income tax benefit – State | (103,830 | ) | (143,418 | ) | ||||
| Permanent differences | 9,193 | (11,111 | ) | |||||
| Change in valuation allowance | 530,721 | 756,883 | ||||||
| Total provision for income tax | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
The Company’s approximate net deferred tax asset on December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:
| Deferred Tax Asset: | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||
| Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 1,579,489 | $ | 1,048,768 | ||||
| Valuation allowance | (1,579,489 | ) | (1,048,768 | ) | ||||
| Net deferred tax asset | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. The increase in the allowance was $530,721 and $756,883 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2024, 2023 and 2022 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination as part of DatChat’s Corporate Income Tax Returns.
NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date through April xx, 2025 the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
Cancellation of common shares
In January 2025, in connection with the Company’s contemplated initial public offering, DatChat returned 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company, which were cancelled. There was no accounting effect of this cancellation other than a reduction of the par value of these shares with an offset to additional paid-in capital.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Organization
RPM Interactive, Inc. (collectively including the consolidated variable interest entities discussed below) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 2022 under the name of SmarterVerse, Inc. On February 14, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to change its name from “SmarterVerse, Inc.” to “Dragon Interactive Corporation”. On August 7, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to change its name from “Dragon Interactive Corporation” to “Dragon Interact, Inc”. On November 21, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to change its name from “Dragon Interact, Inc.” to “RPM Interactive, Inc”.
On October 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date” and measurement date), the Company entered into and closed on a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with (i) RPM Interactive, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated of August 23, 2024 (“RPM Florida”); and (ii) the shareholders of RPM Florida. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of RPM Florida in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. RPM Florida is a web publishing company that leverages generative AI systems to offer consumers entertaining gaming apps and podcasting offerings in the sports, finance, entertainment and politics categories.
Prior to the acquisition of RPM Florida, the Company was a metaverse platform and privacy-first social network. Following the RPM Florida acquisition, the Company repositioned its business to be an AI generated publishing company of mobile games apps and vodcasts/podcasts.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company consolidates entities that are variable interest entities (“VIE”) where the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the RPM Interactive and VIE entities, Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS through March 31, 2024, at which date the Metabizz VIE entities were deconsolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has historically operated as a subsidiary of Myseum. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are derived from the historical results of operations and historical cost bases of the assets and liabilities associated with Company, plus an allocation of certain expenses incurred by Myseum on its behalf. Certain expenses have been allocated to the Company from Myseum using the specific identification method and corporate overhead expenses were allocated using a proportional allocation method. This proportional allocation was based upon RPM Interactive’s direct specifically identified expenses compared to the total Myseum consolidated expenses. Management believes that such an allocation method is reasonable. Management has determined that it is not practical to estimate what the allocated costs would have been had the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flow may have differed materially if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated standalone entity as of and for the periods presented.
The Company has calculated its income tax amounts using a separate return methodology and it has presented these amounts as if it were a separate taxpayer from Myseum for the periods presented.

RPM INTERACTIVE, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
The Company accounts for its noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. However, since Metabizz was consolidated as VIE’s through March 31, 2024, any noncontrolling interest eliminated in consolidation. On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company ceased doing business with Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS and pays technology professionals directly.
Variable interest entities
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-25-22, an entity is defined as a VIE if it either lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or it is structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. When determining whether an entity that meets the definition of a business qualifies for a scope exception from applying VIE guidance, the Company considers whether: (i) it has participated significantly in the design of the entity, (ii) it has provided more than half of the total financial support to the entity, and (iii) substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted on its behalf. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary assessment must be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.
Based on the Company’s analysis, on February 14, 2023, Metabizz was determined to be VIE entities in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-22 because the equity owners in Metabizz did not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the initial equity investments in these entities may be or are insufficient to meet or sustain its operations without additional subordinated financial support from the Company. The equity owners of Metabizz had only a nominal equity investment at risk, and the Company absorbed or received a majority of the entity’s expected losses or benefits. The Company participated significantly in the design of Metabizz. The Company provided working capital advances to Metabizz to allow Metabizz to fund its 100% of its daily obligations. All activities of Metabizz were conducted for the Company’s benefit, as evidenced by the fact that the operations of Metabizz solely consisted of development of software and technologies to be used by the Company. The Company historically provided non-contractual support to Metabizz to pay employees and independent contractors who performed development services on behalf of the Company. Such support reduced our working capital and increased our net cash used in operations. Repayment of the working capital advances was not guaranteed by the equity owner of Metabizz and creditors of Metabizz do not have recourse against the Company. Accordingly, the Company was required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Metabizz using the fair value method. Additionally, the managing partner of Metabizz was also the Chief Innovation Officer of the Company. Since Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS were considered consolidated VIE’s, any noncontrolling interest eliminated in consolidation.
In connection with the deconsolidation of Metabizz, on March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of variable interest entities of $107.
On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company ceased doing business with Metabizz, LLC and Metabizz SAS and paid technology professionals directly. The Company has no further obligation to support Metabizz and has no exposure to any losses as a result of its involvement with Metabizz.
As of June 30 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets did not include any assets or liabilities from VIEs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, a summary of results of operations and cash flows of the Company’s VIEs is as follows:

Going concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to fund its research and development activities and meet its obligations on a timely basis. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $484,627 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Net cash used in operations was $290,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,552,206 and a stockholders’ deficit of 4,005,508 and has generated no revenues since inception. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,389,634, including cash of $22,587. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations in the future. Although the Company has historically been funded by Myseum and from the sale of the Company’s common shares, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to raise its own capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include valuation of the purchase price for the purchase of internal-use software, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, the valuation of internal-use software after initial purchase date, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the allocation of expenses, assets and liabilities from Myseum, and the fair value of non-cash equity transactions.
Concentrations
The Company has historically been primarily funded by Myseum.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $0 and $150,925 in excess of FDIC limits, respectively.
Fair value measurements and fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and due to related party are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
F-8
RPM INTERACTIVE, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Asset acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” to determine whether the acquisition should be classified as either an asset acquisition or a business combination. Acquisitions for which substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets are accounted for as an asset acquisition. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price of these acquired assets on a relative fair value basis and capitalizes direct acquisition related costs as part of the purchase price. Acquisition costs that do not meet the criteria to be capitalized are expensed as incurred and presented in general and administrative costs in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, if any.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term including scheduled renewal terms. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Capitalized internal-use software costs
The Company capitalizes costs to develop or purchase internal-use software in accordance with ASC section 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software are expensed as incurred during the preliminary project stage. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized upon purchase and during the application development stage, which is after: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed; and (ii) management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the functions intended. Capitalization ceases at the point the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, and after all substantial testing is completed. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that those expenditures will result in additional functionality. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the internal-use software development costs and related upgrades and enhancements. When existing software is replaced with new software, the unamortized costs of the old software are expensed when the new software is ready for its intended use.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets, including internal-use software, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
Deferred offering costs
The Company has capitalized certain offering costs related to its efforts to raise capital through an anticipated initial public offering of the Company’s shares of $152,500. Deferred offering costs will be deferred until the completion of the initial public offering, at which time they will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the offering proceeds. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, capitalized deferred offering costs amounted to $152,500 and $0, respectively, which is reflected deferred offering costs on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
F-9
RPM INTERACTIVE, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
In accordance with ASU Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
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.
The Company shall generate revenue from the sale of in-game items to its customers. Revenue generated from such sales, primarily through the app stores, such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store, is recognized upon delivery of the in-game items to the customer, which is when the Company completes its sole performance obligation.
Research and Development
Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and include costs such as outside development costs, salaries and other allocated costs incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s software products were $11,000 and $656,781, respectively. Research and development costs are included in research and development expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Advertising Costs
The Company applies ASC 720 “Other Expenses” to account for advertising related costs. Pursuant to ASC 720-35-25-1, the Company expenses the advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $21,093 and $37,134 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in marketing and advertising expenses on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Except for Metabizz SAS, the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s VIE, Metabizz SAS, is the Columbian Peso (“COP”). For Metabizz SAS, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive loss. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the results of operations as incurred. On March 31, 2024, based on the Company’s analysis, the Company deconsolidated Metabizz SAS (See Note 1).
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no common stock equivalents.
Segment reporting
The Company operates as a single operating segment as a technology-based company that is developing social media applications and technologies. In accordance with ASC 280 – “Segment Reporting”, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similarities in economic characteristics such as nature of services; and procurement processes. All revenues and expenses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are allocated to the one segment. The Company’s single operating segment includes all of the Company’s assets and liabilities as reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – INTERNAL-USE SOFTWARE
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, internal-use software consists of the following:
Useful Life (Years) | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
| Internal-use software | 3 Years | $ | 1,240,838 | $ | 1,050,000 | |||||
| Less accumulated amortization | (9,212 | ) | - | |||||||
| Internal-use software, net | $ | 1,231,626 | $ | 1,050,000 | ||||||
On October 29, 2024 (the “Closing Date” and measurement date), the Company entered into and closed on a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with (i) RPM Florida and (ii) the shareholders of RPM Florida (See Note 1). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of RPM Florida in exchange for 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. RPM Florida is a web publishing company that leverages generative AI systems to offer consumers entertaining gaming apps and podcasting offerings in the sports, finance, entertainment and politics categories. These shares were valued at $1,050,000, or $0.30 per share, on the measurement date based on recent sales of shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the Exchange Agreement and the business of RPM Florida to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Other than owning certain in-development internal-use software, RPM Florida had no operations or employees and was not considered a business. No goodwill was recorded since the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as an asset purchase. In accordance with ASC 805, the fair value of the assets acquired is based on either the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident, and thus, more reliably measurable. The Company used the market price of the 3,500,000 common shares issued of $1,050,000 as the fair value of the assets acquired since this value was more clearly evident, and thus, more reliable measurable than the fair value of the assets. This acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 805 “Business Combinations” since RPM Florida did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805. ASC 805 requires the use of the relative fair value method for asset acquisitions to allocate the purchase price, however, since only a single internal-use software asset was acquired, the entire purchase price shall be allocated to this asset.
During the nine months ending September 30, 2025, the Company capitalized certain software development costs incurred amounting to $190,838 since the Company’s software development projects were in the application development stage.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, amortization of intangible assets amounted to $9,212. Certain internal-use software was placed in service during August 2025 and such capitalized software development costs are being amortized since then on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of three years.
NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE
On September 17, 2025, the Company received $40,000 from certain investors in exchange for promissory notes (the “Notes”) dated September 17, 2025 (the “Issuance Date”) and warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum and matures on September 17, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest on the outstanding principal sum of the Notes commences accruing on the Issuance Date, is computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable on the Maturity Date. The Company may prepay the Notes at any time without penalty. The Warrants are exercisable into an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price that is contingent upon and subject to adjustment based on the per-share price of a future equity financing. The exercise price per share of common stock under the Warrants shall be equal to 50% of the public offing price per share of common stock in the initial public offering (“IPO”) (or if the IPO involves the issuance only of common stock equivalents, then the conversion, exercise or exchange price of such common stock equivalent for one share of common stock), subject to adjustment. The total number of shares of Warrants shall be equal to the quotient of (a) the initial principal amount of the Note purchased by the Holder divided by (ii) the public offing price per share of common stock in the IPO (or if the IPO involves the issuance only of common stock equivalents, then the conversion, exercise or exchange price of such common stock equivalent for one share of common stock

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
As of September 30, 2025, the pricing of the contingent future financing has not occurred, and the fair value of the Warrant component is not reliably determinable due to the uncertainty of the future inputs. Accordingly, the full proceeds of $40,000 from the offering were initially recorded as Notes Payable. Upon the occurrence of the future financing, the Company will be required to evaluate the Warrants and potentially allocate the proceeds between the Notes and the Warrants, which may result in recording a debt discount on the Notes and a corresponding increase to paid-in capital.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $52 in interest expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest payable of the notes payable is $40,000 and $52, respectively.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Relationship with Myseum, Inc. and Due to Related Party
The Company was formed in June 2022 by Myseum, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Myseum”) and since then has operated as a consolidated subsidiary of Myseum. Darin Myman, Myseum’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman also serves as the Company’s President and until January 2025 was its sole director. Since the Company’s formation, Myseum has been the Company’s primary source of financial support. In January 2025, due to changes in Myseum’s business plans, Myseum determined it was in the best interest of both Myseum and the Company to operate separately. In its effort to build a separate management team, Myseum agreed to cancel 3,500,000 shares of the Company that Myseum held as an investment to have Michael Mathews, the prior owner of RPM Florida, join the Company’s board and serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In January 2025, Myseum cancelled the 3,500,000 and currently owns approximately 34% of the Company’s common stock. Myseum is not currently providing financial support to the Company and there is no agreement for Myseum to provide any operational funding in the future. The Company is currently in discussions with Myseum regarding settlement of the amounts due to Myseum as discussed below.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Myseum provided advances to the Company for working capital purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Myseum advanced the Company $57,368 and $859,513, respectively. Additionally, based on Myseum management’s estimates, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Myseum allocated shared expenses to the Company in the amounts of $176,214 and $487,403, respectively (See Note 2 – Basis of Presentation). On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a payable to Myseum of $5,224,288 and $4,990,706, respectively, which is presented as due to related party on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. These advances are short-term in nature, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
Other
On January 10, 2024, VR Interactive LLC (“VR Interactive”), a company 45% owned by Darin Myman, the Company’s president and director, purchased 8,000,000 shares of RPM Interactive from the Metabizz shareholders for cash amounting to $120,000. Mr. Myman is a partner in VR Interactive. Accordingly, as of January 10, 2024, VR Interactive, was considered a related party. In October 2024, VR Interactive distributed all of its RPM Interactive shares to its members and is no longer considered to be a related party.
In November 2024, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Michael Mathews II, the son of the Company’s current Chairman pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay him $3,000 per month. The agreement ended on April 2025. Mr. Matthews II provided product management services to the Company, interfacing with third-party technical development firms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred consulting fees of $12,000 pursuant to this agreement, which is included in professional and consulting expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

[1] Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements have been prepared assuming the acquisition is accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). For business combinations under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. Acquisition-related transaction costs include advisory, legal, accounting fee and others.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements reflect adjustments, based on available information and certain assumptions that Avalon believes are reasonable, attributable to the following:
| ● | The acquisition of RPM, which will be accounted for as a business combination, with Avalon identified as the acquirer, and the issuance of 19,500 shares of Avalon’s Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock as acquisition consideration. Avalon is considered the accounting acquirer since immediately following the closing: (i) Avalon stockholders will own the largest portion of the voting rights of the combined company; (ii) Avalon will control corporate governance of the combined company; and (iii) Avalon’s size is significantly larger than RPM’s as measured in terms of assets and revenue; |
| ● | Adjustments to conform the classification of certain assets and liabilities in RPM’s historical consolidated balance sheet to Avalon’s classification for similar assets and liabilities; |
| ● | Adjustments to conform the classification of expenses in RPM’s historical consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss to Avalon’s classification for similar expenses; and |
| ● | The incurrence of acquisition-related expenses. |
The pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this filing and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The pro forma financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent what Avalon’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the acquisition actually been consummated on the assumed dates nor do they purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Avalon following the acquisition. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect future events that may occur after the acquisition, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from potential operating efficiencies, cost savings, or economies of scale that Avalon may achieve with respect to the combined operations. Specifically, the pro forma statements of operations do not include the synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition and any associated costs that may be incurred to achieve the identified synergies. Additionally, Avalon cannot assure that additional charges will not be incurred in excess of those included in the pro forma additional legal, accounting, and advisory fees of $1,000,000 related to the acquisition, Avalon’s efforts to achieve operational synergies, or that management will be successful in its efforts to integrate the operations. The pro forma statement of operations also excludes the effects of costs associated with any restructuring and integration activities that may result from the acquisition. Further, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of Avalon following the acquisition.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements. In Avalon’s opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements to give effect to the acquisition. These adjustments are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Avalon following the acquisition.

[2] Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
Pro Forma Adjustments to the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2025:
| a. | Represents the reclassification of prepaid expenses into prepaid expenses and other current assets. |
| b. | Represents the reclassification of deferred offering costs into other non-current assets. |
| c. | Reflects the consideration of $19,500,000 pursuant to the issuance of 19,500 shares of Avalon’s Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,000, which approximated the fair market value, for acquisition of RPM and adjustments to state RPM’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The initial estimate of the consideration of $19,500,000 is subject to change upon the final valuation which is to be done at the time of closing. Such change could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. A summary of the consideration paid and the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows: |
| Preliminary consideration: | ||||
| Avalon’s Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued to RPM’s shareholders | 19,500 | |||
| Stated value of each share of Series E Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock | $ | 1,000 | ||
| Total consideration | $ | 19,500,000 | ||
| Preliminary fair value of assets acquired: | ||||
| Current assets | ||||
| Cash | $ | 22,587 | ||
| Prepaid expenses | 1,689 | |||
| Non-current assets | ||||
| Deferred offering costs | 152,500 | |||
| Capitalized internal-use software, net | 1,231,626 | |||
| Intangible assets | 15,000,000 | |||
| Goodwill from the merger | 8,505,508 | |||
| Total preliminary fair value of assets acquired | $ | 24,913,910 | ||
| Preliminary fair value of liabilities assumed: | ||||
| Current liabilities | ||||
| Notes payable | $ | (40,000 | ) | |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | (149,622 | ) | ||
| Due to related party - parent | (5,224,288 | ) | ||
| Total preliminary fair value of liabilities assumed | $ | (5,413,910 | ) | |
| Net Assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | 19,500,000 | ||
The acquisition consideration is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values, and any excess is initially allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired by $23,505,508. The Company allocated the $15,000,000 excess to intangible assets, which will be amortized over 20 years, and the $8,505,508 excess to goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets are mainly comprised of utility patent. The final determination of fair value of intangible assets, as well as estimated useful lives, remains subject to change. The finalization may have a material impact on the valuation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation, which is expected to be finalized subsequent to the acquisition. No amortization or impairment of goodwill was considered in the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial information.

| d. | Represents the elimination of RPM’s historical equity balances. |
| e. | Represents the accrual of $1,000,000 in estimated legal, accounting, and advisory fees that are payable as a result of the acquisition of RPM, which were not reflected in either Avalon’s or RPM’s historical financial statements. |
| f. | Represents the reclassification of accounts payable and accrued expenses into accrued liabilities and other payables. |
Pro Forma Adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025:
| a. | Represents a reclassification of operating expenses: compensation and related expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, professional and consulting expenses, research and development expense, and general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses: compensation and related benefits, advertising and marketing expenses, professional fees, research and development expense, and other general and administrative expenses, respectively. |
| b. | Represents a reclassification of interest expense, net, into interest expense - other. |
| c. | Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired from this acquisition. |
Pro Forma Adjustments to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the Year Ended December 31, 2024:
| a. | Represents a reclassification of operating expenses: compensation and related expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, professional and consulting expenses, research and development expense, and general and administrative expenses into other operating expenses: compensation and related benefits, advertising and marketing expenses, professional fees, research and development expense, and other general and administrative expenses, respectively. |
| b. | Represents a reclassification of interest income, net, gain on deconsolidation of variable interest entities, and foreign currency loss into other expense. |
| c. | Represents amortization of intangible assets acquired from this acquisition. |
