NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
| 1. | NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Nature of Business
BIO-key International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “BIO-key”), founded in 1993, develops and markets proprietary fingerprint identification biometric technology and software solutions enterprise-ready identity access management solutions to commercial, government and education customers throughout the United States and internationally. The Company was a pioneer in developing automated, finger identification technology that supplements or compliments other methods of identification and verification, such as personal inspection identification, passwords, tokens, smart cards, ID cards, PKI, credit cards, passports, driver’s licenses, OTP or other form of possession or knowledge-based credentialing. Additionally, advanced BIO-key® technology has been, and is, used to improve both the accuracy and speed of competing finger-based biometrics.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIO-key and include all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial statements and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending December 31, 2026. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on June 15, 2026 from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2025 was derived.
Foreign Currencies
The Company accounts for foreign currency transactions pursuant to ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters ("ASC 830”). The functional currency of the Company is the U. S. dollar, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. In accordance with ASC 830, monetary balances denominated in or linked to foreign currency are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of operations, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. Gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such transactions and from the remeasurement of the monetary balance sheet items are recorded as gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
The functional currency of Swivel Secure Europe, SA is the Euro. Under ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into U. S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the respective periods. All transaction gains and losses from the measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in Euros are reflected in the statement of operations as appropriate. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The functional currency of BIO-key Africa is the Naira, however, the majority of the Company's transactions are U. S. dollars. Under ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into U. S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. An adjustment will be made for the current value of our bank account in Naira currency if the amount materially changes.
The functional currency of BIO-key Hong Kong is the HKD (Hong Kong dollar). Under ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into U. S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of each fiscal period. An adjustment will be made for the current value of our bank account in HKD currency if the amount materially changes.
Reverse Stock Split
All references to issued and outstanding shares for all periods reflect the 1-for-
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of ASC Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The ASU has an unusual effective date and transition requirements since it is contingent on future SEC rule setting. If the SEC fails to enact required changes by June 30, 2027, this ASU is not effective for any entities. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
.
.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”)" ("ASU 2024-03") which applies to all public entities and requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. Public entities must adopt the new standard prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). The standard provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient assumes that conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the accounts receivable and contract assets when forecasting estimated credit losses. An entity is required to disclose whether it has applied the practical expedient. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and should be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient as described in ASU 2025-05. The impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements is not material.
| 2. | GOING CONCERN |
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)", the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company has historically financed operations through access to the capital markets by issuing convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, and through factoring receivables. As of the date of this report, the Company does not have enough cash for twelve months of operations. The history of losses, the negative cash flow from operations, and the dependence by the Company on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund its operations after the current cash resources are exhausted raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, and assumes continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase its revenue and meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis and become profitable in its future operations. The Company has lowered expenses through decreasing spending in marketing, and research and development. In order to mitigate the losses and improve cash flow, the Company is working on the following initiatives. The EMESA subsidiary is now only selling BIO-key and PortalGuard solutions that do not carry the previous license fee of 50% cost of sales and the inventory purchased for projects in Nigeria, which have been delayed in deployment, are being sold into other markets to generate additional cash. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue includes customer advances and amounts that have been paid by customer for which the contractual maintenance terms have not yet occurred. The majority of these amounts are related to maintenance contracts for which the revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term, which generally is
| 4. | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE |
Accounts receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for credit losses based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, current economic conditions and other relevant factors, including specific reserves for certain accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:

| 6. | INVENTORY |
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or net realizable value. The Company periodically evaluates inventory items and establishes reserves for obsolescence accordingly. The Company also reserves for excess quantities, slow moving goods, and for other impairment of value based upon assumptions of future demand and market conditions. The reserve on inventory is due to slow moving inventory purchased for projects in Nigeria, and slow-moving inventory elsewhere. The Company has been selling these units in small quantities and continues to explore other markets and opportunities to sell the product. Inventory is comprised of the following as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The purchase agreement between the Company and Fiber Food contemplates collaboration between the parties regarding potential strategic and commercial transactions, including acquiring assets or equity interests in other operating companies, integrating the Company’s identity access management solutions into Fiber Food’s offerings, and introducing the Company to its customers, affiliates and business contacts who are potential users of the Company’s solutions, in each case pursuant to future definitive agreements on terms to be negotiated by the parties. The purchase agreement contains a standstill which prohibits the Company, Fiber Food, Boomarang and their respective affiliates and representatives for a period of two years, from, among other things, initiating any business combination, restructuring, tender offer, proposal to seek representation on the board of directors, or any proxy solicitation, instigating, encouraging or assisting any third party from doing any of the forgoing, or acquiring any debt or equity securities of any other party. In April of 2025, Boumarang acquired all intellectual property rights to the Wavedrone platform from Shore House IVF, a technology developer based in the Faroe Islands, for $
The Boumarang Shares constitute an investment in a privately held company for which there is no trading market and are carried at fair value. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, non-performance risk and credit risk. The Company follows ASC Topic 820 – “Fair Value Measurement,” which establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Boumarang Shares are classified as a Level 3 asset and have been valued based on a combination of recent sales of Boumarang common stock to third parties and a third party valuation applying a discounted cash flow analysis which included discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability, small company risk premium, and specific company risk premium based on Boumarang being an early-stage pre-revenue company. The lack of control and marketability discounts were based on published studies and transfer restrictions contained in Boumarang’s corporate governance documents.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Boumarang Shares may fluctuate from period to period and the fair value of the Boumarang Shares may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such shares and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. The early-stage pre-revenue status and unproven technology of Boumarang, Inc. raise uncertainties that could impact the recoverability of the investment in the Boumarang Shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related information contained herein and our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
Overview
BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company,” “BIO-key,” “we,” or “us”) is a leading identity access management, or IAM, platform provider for the enterprise and large-scale customer and civil ID solutions. Built to leverage BIO-key’s world-class biometric core platform among seventeen strong authentication factors, BIO-key PortalGuard and hosted PortalGuard IDaaS platforms that enable our customers to securely and easily assure that only the right people can access the right systems. PortalGuard goes beyond traditional multifactor authentication (MFA) solutions by addressing functional gaps, such as allowing roving users to biometrically authenticate at any workstation without using their phones or tokens eliminating unauthorized account delegation, detecting duplicate users, and accommodating in-person identification.
Our customers use BIO-key every day to securely access a variety of cloud, mobile and web applications, on-premise and cloud-based servers from all of their devices. Employees, contractors, students and faculty sign in through PortalGuard to seamlessly and securely access the applications they need to do their important work, without relying on personal phone use or per-user tokens. Organizations use our platform to securely collaborate with their supply chain and partners, and to provide their customers with flexible, resilient user experiences online or in-person.
Large-scale customer and civil ID customers use our scalable biometric management platform and FBI-certified scanner hardware to manage enrollment, de-duplication and authentication for millions of users. One large bank has enrolled and identifies over 21.7 million of their customers using BIO-key fingerprint biometrics in branches on a daily basis.
PortalGuard and Identity-Bound Biometrics, or IBB, deliver unique value to enterprises who find that mainstream MFA solutions do not adequately address their workforce use cases. PortalGuard operates as a single MFA user experience, providing a wide set of authentication choices to meet every use case. We sell our branded biometric and Fast Identity Online, or FIDO, authentication hardware as accessories to our IAM platforms, so that customers can have a single vendor providing all components of their IAM solution. We do not mandate the use of BIO-key hardware with our software and services. Our National Institute of Standards, and Technology, or NIST, certified fingerprint biometric platform is unique in that it supports interoperable mixing and matching combinations of different manufactures’ fingerprint scanners in a deployment, so that the right scanner can be selected for the right use case, without mandating the use of a particular scanner.
Security-conscious software developers leverage our platform APIs and federation interfaces to securely and efficiently embed biometric and MFA identity capabilities into their software. Our approach to IDaaS allows our customers to efficiently scale their security and identity infrastructures to protect both internal cloud workforce- and external customer-facing applications.
In 2022, we expanded our product offerings and customer base when we acquired Swivel Secure, a Madrid, Spain based provider of IAM solutions. Until the fourth quarter of 2024, Swivel Secure was the exclusive distributer of AuthControl Sentry, AuthControl Enterprise, and AuthControl MSP product line in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, or EMEA, excluding the United Kingdom and Ireland. Swivel Secure, now operates as BIO-key EMEA and maintains a direct sales force with offices in Madrid, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal, and sells only BIO-key products.
We operate a software as a service, or SaaS, business model with customers subscribing to term use of our software for annual recurring revenue. We sell our products directly through our field and inside sales teams, as well as indirectly through our network of channel partners including resellers, system integrators, master agents and other distribution partners. Our subscription fees include a term license of hosted or on-premise product and technical support and maintenance of our platform. We base subscription fees primarily on the products used and the number of users enrolled in our platform. We generate subscription fees pursuant to noncancelable contracts with a weighted average duration of approximately one year.
Strategic Outlook
We plan to have a more significant role in the IAM market which continues to expand. We plan to continue to offer customers a suite of authentication options that complement our biometric solutions. The more well-rounded offerings of authentication options will allow customers to customize their approach to authentication all under one umbrella.
We expect to grow our business within government services and highly-regulated industries in which we have historically had a strong presence including financial services, higher education, and healthcare. We believe that continued heightened security and privacy requirements in these industries, and as colleges and universities continue operating in remote environments, we will generate increased demand for security solutions, including biometrics. In addition, we expect that the compatible, yet superior portable biometric user experience offered by our technology for Windows 10 users will accelerate the demand for our computer network log-on solutions and fingerprint readers. Through value add-offerings via direct sales, resellers, and strategic partnerships with leading higher education platform providers, we will continue to grow our installed base.
Our primary sales strategies are focused on (i) increased marketing efforts into the IAM market, (ii) dedicated pursuit of large-scale identification projects across the globe and (iii) growing our channel alliance program which we have grown to more than eighty-five participants and continues to generate incremental revenues.
A second component of our growth strategy is to pursue strategic acquisitions of select businesses and assets in the IAM space. In furtherance of this strategy, we are active in the industry and regularly evaluate businesses that we believe will either provide an entry into new market verticals or be synergistic with our existing operations and in either case, be accretive to earnings. We cannot provide any assurance as to whether we will be able to complete any acquisition and if completed, successfully integrate any business we acquire into our operations.
Recent Developments
The current trend of continued remote work environments increases the risk of unauthorized users, phishing attacks, and hackers who are eager to take advantage of the challenges of securing remote workers. A growing trend of security incidents that highlight potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities, additional regulatory requirements, and increasingly stringent Cyber Insurance underwriting standards that mandate enhanced security solutions has resulted in many businesses requiring MFA for their employees, partners and customers to access their business systems and data. We believe that biometrics should continue to play a key role in remote user authentication.

Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, service revenues included approximately $227,000 and $271,000, respectively, of recurring maintenance and support revenue, and approximately $4,000 and $51,000 respectively, of non-recurring custom services revenue. Recurring service revenue decreased $44,000 or 16% in 2026 which was due to the timing of renewals of service agreements. Non-recurring custom services decreased $47,000 due to a decrease in customization. Overall, service revenues decreased to $231,005 as compared to $321,996 in the corresponding period in 2025.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, license revenue increased $423,258 or 53% to $1,229,345 from $806,087 in the corresponding period in 2025 as several new customers deployed new licenses in 2026.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, hardware sales decreased 19% to $459,641 from $568,824 in the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was due to several customer deploys of fully reserved inventory in the 2026 period, and one large deployment from one long-term customer and several long-term customers expanding their deployments of biometric cybersecurity solutions in 2025.
Costs and other expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cost of service decreased $38,585 or 33% to $79,716 from $118,301 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, license costs decreased 13% to $74,972 from $86,488 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, hardware costs decreased to net cost of $91,263 (after giving effect to the $703,050 reversal of the previously fully reserved inventory) from $259,391 in the three months ended June 30, 2025, for a net decrease of 65%, based on the decrease in hardware revenue and different models of hardware shipped.

Revenues

Recurring service revenue decreased $79,000 or 15% in 2026 which was due to the timing of renewals of service agreements. Non-recurring custom services decreased $36,000 due to a decrease in customization. Overall, service revenues decreased to $479,388 as compared to $594,594 in the corresponding period in 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, hardware sales increased 186% to $990,898 from $804,627 in the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was due to a large deployment from one long-term customer, sales of fully reserved inventory, and several new customer deployments of biometric cybersecurity solutions in the 2026 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, our capital needs have been met mainly through proceeds from the sale of equity and debt securities, and revenue. We expect capital expenditures to be less than $100,000 during the next twelve months.
The following sets forth our sources of liquidity during the previous two years through the date of this filling:
On August 11, 2026, we closed a transaction with an existing investor to exercise outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 618,334 shares of common stock in consideration for reducing the per share exercise price from $10.20 to $4.06 and issuing additional warrants to the investor to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,236,668 shares of common stock at exercise price of $4.06 per share. The forgoing resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
On October 27, 2025, we entered into and closed a warrant exercise agreement with an existing institutional investor to exercise certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 309,167 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026). The warrants were originally issued on January 15, 2025 and had an exercise price of $21.50 per share. In consideration for the immediate exercise of these warrants, we issued new unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 618,334 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026) at an exercise price of $10.20. We realized gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
On September 30, 2025, we entered into and closed a note purchase agreement which provided for the issuance of a $1,130,000 principal amount senior secured promissory note (the "2025 Note"). This resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 after deducting estimated offering expenses, and the original issue discount. The 2025 Note is due eighteen months (18) following the date of issuance, accrues interest at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, and commencing six months after the date of issuance, the lender shall have the right to redeem up to $135,000 of principal amount each month. In connection with the October 27, 2025 warrant exercise agreement described above, we prepaid approximately $450,000 of the amount due under the 2025 Note.
On July 28, 2026, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “2025 Exchange Agreement”) with the Lender of the 2025 Note. Pursuant to the 2025 Exchange Agreement, the Company and Lender agreed to (i) partition from the 2025 Note a new Promissory Note (the “Partitioned Note”) in the original principal amount of $200,000, (ii) cause the outstanding balance of the 2025 Note to be reduced by $200,000 and (iii) exchange the Partitioned Note for 43,308 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which was effective April 30, 2026). On August 10, 2026, the Company entered into a second exchange agreement with the Lender of the 2025 Note. Pursuant to this exchange agreement, the Company and Lender agreed to (i) partition from the 2025 Note a new Promissory Note (the “Second Partitioned Note”) in the original principal amount of $150,000, (ii) cause the outstanding balance of the 2025 Note to be reduced by $150,000 and (iii) exchange the Second Partitioned Note for 37,792 shares of the Company’s Common Stock . As of the date of this report, the outstanding principal amount due under the 2025 Note is approximately $325,000. For a more complete description of the 2025 Note, please see Note 10 to Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I Item 1 of this report.
On January 15, 2025, we entered into a warrant exercise agreement with an existing investor to exercise certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 206,112 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026), at an exercise price of $18.50 per share which were originally issued to the investor on September 12, 2024 (the "Existing Warrants"). In consideration for the exercise of the Existing Warrants, the investor received new warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 309,167 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026), ("New Warrants"). The New Warrants have substantially the same terms, are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $21.50 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.8 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
On September 12, 2024, we entered into a warrant exercise agreement with an existing investor to exercise certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 103,056 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026). The warrants were originally issued to the Investor on October 31, 2023 and had an original exercise price of $31.50 per share. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the warrants, we reduced the exercise price of the warrants to $18.50 per share and issued to the Investor unregistered Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 103,056 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026), and unregistered Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 103,056 shares of common stock(as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026), each with an exercise price of $18.50 per share and issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 206,112 shares of common stock (as adjusted to reflect our 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective April 30, 2026), at an exercise price of $18.50 per share. The forgoing transaction resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1.9 million prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
On June 24, 2024, we entered into and closed a note purchase agreement which provided for the issuance of a $2,360,000 principal amount senior secured promissory note (the "2024 Note"). This resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1,826,000 after deducting placement agent fees, estimated offering expenses, and the original issue discount. The 2024 Note was due eighteen months (18) following the date of issuance, accrued interest at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, and commencing six months after the date of issuance of, the lender had the right to redeem up to $270,000 of principal amount each month. In connection with the September 12, 2024 warrant exercise agreement described above, we prepaid approximately $762,600 of the amount due under the 2024 Note. As of the date of this report, the loan has been paid in full. For a more complete description of the 2024 Note, please see Note 10 to Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I Item 1 of this report.
We are party to an accounts receivable factoring arrangement with a financial institution (the “Factor”) which has been extended to October 31, 2026 and may be discontinued at that time. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, from time to time, we sell to the Factor a minimum of $150,000 per quarter of certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The Factor remits 35% of the foreign and 75% of the domestic accounts receivable balance to us, with the remaining balance, less fees, forwarded to us once the Factor collects the full accounts receivable balance from the customer. In addition, from time to time, we receive over advances from the Factor. Factoring fees range from 2.75% to 15% of the face value of the invoice factored and are determined by the number of days required for collection of the invoice. We expect to continue to use this factoring arrangement periodically to assist with our general working capital requirements due to contractual requirements.
Liquidity outlook
At June 30, 2026, our total cash and cash equivalents were $1,379,300, as compared to $2,694,663 at December 31, 2025. At June 30, 2026, we had a working capital of approximately $793,000.
As discussed above, we have historically financed our operations through access to the capital markets by issuing secured and convertible debt securities, convertible preferred stock, common stock, warrants, and through factoring receivables. We currently require approximately $750,000 per month to conduct our operations, a monthly amount that we have been unable to consistently achieve through revenue generation. We also have approximately $2.1 million of inventory (currently reserved) initially purchased for projects in Nigeria. We continue to explore other markets and opportunities to sell the product to generate additional cash. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue and positive cash flow from operations or liquidation of existing inventory to fund current operations and execute our business plan, we will need to obtain additional third-party financing over the next twelve months.
Our long-term viability and growth will depend upon the successful commercialization of our technologies and our ability to obtain adequate financing. To the extent that we require such additional financing, no assurance can be given that any form of additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, that adequate financing will be obtained to meet our needs, or that such financing would not be dilutive to existing stockholders. If available financing is insufficient or unavailable or we fail to continue to generate sufficient revenue, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay the expansion of operations, be unable to pursue merger or acquisition candidates, or in the extreme case, not continue as a going concern.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report, we are not a party to any pending lawsuits.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
