DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026 and 2025
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Duos Technologies Group, Inc., through its operating subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc., Duos Edge AI, Inc., Duos Energy Corporation, and Duos Technology Solutions, Inc. (collectively the “Company”) is a technology Company that designs, develops, deploys, and operates intelligent technology solutions that leverage machine vision and artificial intelligence (“AI”), as well as digital infrastructure platforms, including edge data centers and power and energy consulting services.
The Company’s solutions include applications for real-time data acquisition and analysis, including the inspection and monitoring of fast-moving vehicles, as well as the deployment of distributed computing infrastructure and related services.
The Company’s operations are organized around the development and delivery of digital infrastructure, technology-enabled services, and AI-driven solutions that support data processing, automation, and operational efficiency across commercial, industrial, and public sector markets.
The Company’s principal business activities include:
| · | the development and deployment of edge data center infrastructure and related hosting services; |
| · | the design and delivery of AI-enabled technologies and analytics platforms; |
| · | the provision of technology systems and integrated solutions for infrastructure and industrial applications; |
| · | the delivery of consulting and energy-related services, including power infrastructure planning and asset management services; and |
| · | the provision of technology solutions services, including procurement, logistics coordination, and deployment support for digital infrastructure projects |
In 2024, the Company’s management team determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to leverage the skills and expertise that have been built up since 2021 to expand into other markets. The Company elected to develop new offerings based on its existing technology and formed a new subsidiary in July 2024 called Duos Edge AI (“Edge”). The objective of this new subsidiary is to market a special part of the Rail Inspection Portal (“RIP”) for the provision of high-speed and function processing of data and applications with a focus on reducing latency in response times to end-users. The Company has many years of experience via its expert staff in bringing these types of capabilities to remote locations, also known as “the edge”. Edge processing can be an extremely efficient and lower cost alternative to traditional data centers. The strategy for Edge is to serve rural communities, also known as Tier 3 and 4 markets, and install Edge data centers in these locations thereby providing access to high-speed communications and advanced processing capabilities as a substitute for solutions where large amounts of data are “backhauled” using “the Cloud”. The Company developed these capabilities as an adjunct to its RIP offerings due to the need for fast results (less than 60 seconds) in identifying defects and maintenance issues on moving railcars.
Also in late 2024, the Company formed a third subsidiary, Duos Energy Corporation (“Duos Energy”) with the express purpose of providing consulting services and solutions for the rapidly growing demand for electrical power outside of traditional utilities. As an outgrowth of its new Edge Data Center subsidiary, and the current expert staff on-hand, the Company has engaged with multiple third parties to act in a consulting and ultimately asset management capacity whereby the Company’s staff is engaged directly to supply this type of power solutions for multiple uses including for large data centers supporting AI “hyperscalers”. In conjunction with this, in late 2024, the Company engaged with Fortress Investment Group (“FIG”) to assist in FIG’s purchase of approximately 850 Mega Watts of electrical generation capacity (consisting of 30 mobile gas turbine generators) and associated equipment to support their installation and operation (“balance-of-plant”). In late November 2024, Sawgrass Buyer LLC, an entity formed and owned by FIG, executed an asset purchase agreement with Atlas Corporation, APR Energy Holdings Limited and a number of its wholly-owned affiliates (collectively, “APR”). Chuck Ferry, our then CEO, was formerly the CEO of APR from 2018 to 2020. The transaction closed on December 31, 2024. At closing, Sawgrass Buyer LLC entered into an Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”) with the Company under which a substantial portion of Company staff, including certain members of the management team (including Mr. Ferry), would oversee operations of Sawgrass Buyer LLC. The AMA has a two-year term with customary cancellation provisions. At closing, the Company also received a 5%, non-voting ownership interest in Sawgrass APR Holdings, LLC (“Sawgrass Parent”), the ultimate parent Company of Sawgrass Buyer LLC. Subsequent to closing, Sawgrass Buyer LLC changed its name to New APR Energy, LLC (“New APR”).
| 5 |
DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
Under the AMA, Duos Energy manages the deployment and operations for a fleet of mobile gas turbines and “balance-of-plant” inventory, providing management, sales and operations functions to New APR in connection with the assets. In exchange for services to be performed under the AMA, the Company received an initial cash payment from New APR and common units in Sawgrass Parent. While the Company has board representation in Sawgrass Parent, its common units are non-voting and the Company does not control the board of directors of Sawgrass Parent.
Where the Company has an interest in a Variable
Interest Entity (“VIE”), it will consolidate any VIE in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is deemed
to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the
activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that
could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both
of the characteristics are met, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into our
consolidated financial statements. Investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs that maintain specific ownership
accounts for each investor are excluded from the scope of ASC 323-10. However, ASC 323-30 provides guidance on applying the criteria for
equity method accounting to investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs. When an investor in a partnership, unincorporated
joint venture or LLC has the ability to exercise significant influence over that investment, it should apply the equity method (ASC 323-10)
by analogy (ASC 323-30-25-1). Sawgrass Parent is deemed to be a VIE and the Company holds a 5% interest in Sawgrass Parent and an interest
in the subsidiary New APR through the AMA, both of which are considered variable interests. However, the Company does not represent the
primary beneficiary as it does not possess the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance
of Sawgrass Parent. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Sawgrass Parent. Due to the Company’s interest in Sawgrass Parent,
it was determined that the Company has significant influence over Sawgrass Parent. Therefore, the Company accounts for its investment
in Sawgrass Parent as an Equity Method Investment. The Company also concluded that the arrangement with Sawgrass Parent is within the
scope of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, and the common units issued to the Company by Sawgrass Parent represented non-cash
consideration. The initial carrying value of the equity method investment as of December 31, 2024 of $
In 2025, the Company’s operations evolved to focus on scalable, recurring revenue models associated with infrastructure hosting, managed services, infrastructure-related services, and long-term service agreements, particularly in connection with its edge computing platform and digital infrastructure projects.
In 2026, the Company and New APR mutually agreed to reduce the scope of services under the AMA, resulting in a corresponding decline in related party revenue and associated costs as part of streamlining operations and aligning resources with its core strategic initiatives.
In 2026, the Company formed another subsidiary, Duos Technology Solutions, Inc. with the express purpose of providing infrastructure related services, including procurement, logistics coordination, vendor management and deployment support for data center and digital infrastructure projects.
Digital Infrastructure and Edge Data Centers
Through its subsidiary Duos Edge AI, the Company is engaged in the development and deployment of modular edge data centers designed to provide localized computing capacity for artificial intelligence workloads, data processing, and latency-sensitive applications.
These facilities are intended to support enterprise, telecommunications, and public sector customers, particularly in regional and underserved markets. The Company’s edge data center platform is designed to generate recurring revenues through hosting, colocation, and managed infrastructure services.
The Company has committed capital and operational resources toward the expansion of this platform, which management expects to represent a significant component of its future business activities.
Technology Solutions and Infrastructure Services
In 2025, the Company expanded its operations through the establishment of a Technology Solutions business vertical. This business provides infrastructure-related services, including procurement, logistics coordination, vendor management, and deployment support for data center and digital infrastructure projects.
These services complement the Company’s infrastructure platform and support both internal deployments and third-party customer engagements.

Energy and Consulting Services
Through Duos Energy Corporation, the Company provides consulting and advisory services related to energy procurement, power infrastructure, and grid interconnection, as well as asset management services.
The Company has entered into a contractual arrangement, including the AMA that commenced in January 2025, which is contributing to revenues over the contract term. These services support the increasing demand for energy associated with digital infrastructure and data center operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited condensed notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include Duos Technologies Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc., Duos Edge AI, Inc., Duos Energy Corporation, and Duos Technology Solutions, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the valuation of intangible assets for impairment analysis, allowance on accounts receivable and notes receivable, estimated useful life of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of other long-lived assets, estimates of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to determine progress towards contract completion, valuation of inventory, valuation of right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of warrants issued with debt and stock, valuation of stock-based awards and the valuation of a minority interest in Sawgrass Parent. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| 7 |
DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
Due to the unavailability of Q1-2026 financials from Sawgrass Parent, our equity method investee, the Company has applied a one-quarter lag (in accordance with ASC 323-10-35-6) in reporting and recording the value of its 5% minority investment. The Company records its 5% interest using the Equity Method as we have significant influence. ASC 323-10-35-4 requires an entity to recognize its share of earnings or loss of an equity method investee which adjusts the carrying amount of the investment and is reflected as earnings or loss in income. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Sawgrass APR Holdings LLC (the “Agreement”), Net Profit and Net Loss for any Fiscal Year is allocated among the members in such a manner that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account Balance of each Member, as increased by the Member’s share of “minimum gain” and “partner minimum gain” (as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2), to the extent possible, to be equal to the amount which would have been distributed to such Member pursuant to a Hypothetical Liquidation, as defined in the Agreement, as of the end of the last day of such fiscal year. Under the Hypothetical Liquidation, the assets of Sawgrass Parent are disposed of in a taxable disposition for the book value of such assets and the remaining amounts, after repayment of outstanding obligations are distributed to the members pursuant to the Agreement. Per the Agreement, the Company is entitled to pro-rata distributions only after Preferred Holders have received their Total Contributed Capital and subsequent distributions to Preferred and Incentive Unit Holders have reached the Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) Threshold of 1.5 times the initial contributions. Therefore, it is likely that early periods will not generate sufficient earnings to provide the Company with a return in the form of a claim on net assets. Based on the terms of the Agreement our specified allocation of earnings and losses of 5% differs from the allocation of cash from operations and liquidation. Therefore, we will apply the guidance in ASC 970-323-35-17 by analogy, which states, if the specified allocation for earnings differs from the allocation of cash from operations and on liquidation, the investor should not use the specified earnings or loss percentages to determine its share of the investee’s earnings. Rather, the investor should analyze the investment agreement to determine how the increase or decrease in the investee’s net assets during the reporting period would affect the cash that the investor would receive over the investee’s life and on its liquidation.
As per the guidance above, the subsequent recognition of the equity method investment should reflect the Company’s claim on net assets, determined by its rights to distributions and residual assets under the Agreement’s distribution waterfall. The Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method satisfies this requirement by simulating a hypothetical liquidation at each reporting period, allocating net assets based on the rights and priorities defined in the Agreement. This approach reflects the Company’s economic interest in the Sawgrass Parent by estimating the amount it would receive in a liquidation scenario, aligning the recognition of income or loss with the actual distribution provisions under the Agreement. Accordingly, this method appropriately represents the cash distribution under Section 10 and the allocation of profit and loss under Section 9.1 of the Agreement.
At the initial investment date, the Company’s hypothetical claim on net assets was zero, and it is expected to remain so, until other investors have received their Total Contributed Capital and the MOIC Threshold has been met. As a result of the MOIC not being met, the Company’s share of earnings under the HLBV method is zero during these early periods. Because the Company is not obligated to fund Sawgrass Parent’s losses, no losses will be allocated unless the investment becomes impaired, and such losses will not exceed the initial investment of $7.2 million. Similarly, net income will not be allocated until the HLBV calculation results in an allocation that exceeds the Company’s carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company will continue to present the equity method investment at its initial fair value unless the HLBV calculation yields a profit or the investment becomes impaired.
Management believes that the use of estimates and assumptions in applying the equity method is reasonable.

Concentrations
Cash Concentrations
Cash is maintained at financial institutions and
at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these balances. As of March 31,
2026, the Company had balances in two financial institutions which combined exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $
Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, three
customers accounted for
At March 31, 2026, two customers accounted for

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately
Significant Vendors and Concentration of Credit Risk
In some instances, the Company relies on a limited pool of vendors for key components related to the manufacturing of its subsystems. These vendors are primarily focused on data center hosting, camera, server and lighting technologies integral to the Company’s solution. Where possible, the Company seeks multiple vendors for key components to mitigate vendor concentration risk.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
These inputs are prioritized below:
| Level 1: |
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
| Level 2: |
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
|
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions that the market participants would use in the valuation of the asset or liability based on the best available information. |

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“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.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Investments
The Company invests excess cash in highly liquid, investment-grade financial debt instruments. These investments are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, are recognized in earnings within other income (expense).
The Company’s investment portfolio is intended to preserve liquidity and provide a return on excess cash. Investments are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure they continue to meet trading classification criteria. Because the investments are classified as trading, no amounts are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Accounts Receivable
The Company follows ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" for accounts receivable. In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance for credit losses is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers.
Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for credit losses. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. The Company reviews its accounts to estimate losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting entities to assume that current economic conditions as of the reporting date remain unchanged over the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from ASC 606 transactions. The Company adopted ASU 2025—05 effective January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient, under which expected credit losses are estimated using historical loss experience adjusted for current conditions. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s contract assets, current receivables, allowance for credit losses, or consolidated financial statements.
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of spare parts and consumables and long-lead time components to be used in the production of our technology systems or in connection with maintenance agreements with customers. Any inventory deemed to be obsolete is written off. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is primarily determined using the weighted average cost method.
The Company classifies inventory as a current asset when it is expected to be sold or utilized in production or under maintenance contracts within the normal operating cycle, typically twenty-four months. Inventory that is determined to be slow-moving or not expected to be sold or utilized within the next twenty-four months is reclassified to non-current assets under Non-current inventory
The assessment of slow-moving inventory is based on historical sales trends, demand forecasts, and management’s judgment regarding market conditions. Once reclassified, the inventory is reviewed annually for impairment, and any necessary write-downs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Intangible Asset
In May 2024, the Company recognized an intangible asset which represents digital image data rights received under a license agreement as non-monetary consideration under a five-year customer contract. The intangible asset was being amortized over the five-year contractual term. This asset was fully impaired in 2025 (See Note 7).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the property and equipment (three to fifteen years). When assets are sold or retired, their costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the statement of operations. Leasehold improvements are expensed over the shorter of the term of our lease or their useful lives.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs. The technological feasibility of a software product is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product meets its design specifications, including functionality, features, and technical performance requirements. Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility for software sold as a perpetual license, as defined within ASC 985-20 (Software – Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers. Software development costs are evaluated for impairment annually by comparing the net realizable value to the unamortized capitalization costs and writing these costs down to net realizable value.
Patents and Trademarks
Patents and trademarks which are stated at amortized
cost, relate to the development of video surveillance security system technology, intelligent video analytics, security systems and modular
data center infrastructure and are being amortized over
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its property, equipment, and other long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event there are indicators of impairment and the net book values of such assets exceed the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets or the business to which such intangible assets relate. This guidance requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Equity Method Investments
If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated equity method investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective equity method investee and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such equity method investee are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated equity method investees. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other-than-temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable.
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement (the “AMA”), with New APR, an entity formed by affiliates of FIG. Under the AMA, Duos Energy manages the deployment and operations of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales and operations functions to New APR in connection with the assets. In exchange for services to be performed under the AMA, the Company received an initial cash payment and common units in Sawgrass Parent. While the Company has board representation in Sawgrass Parent, its common units are non-voting and the Company does not control the board of directors of Sawgrass Parent.
Where the Company has an interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) it will consolidate any VIE in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both of the characteristics are met, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs that maintain specific ownership accounts for each investor are excluded from the scope of ASC 323-10. However, ASC 323-30 provides guidance on applying the criteria for equity method accounting to investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs. When an investor in a partnership, unincorporated joint venture or LLC has the ability to exercise significant influence over that investment, it should apply the equity method (ASC 323-10) by analogy (ASC 323-30-25-1).
Sawgrass Parent is deemed to be a VIE and the Company holds a 5% interest in it and an interest in the subsidiary New APR through the AMA, both of which are considered variable interests. However, the Company does not represent the primary beneficiary as it does not possess the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Sawgrass Parent. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Sawgrass Parent. Due to the Company’s interest in Sawgrass Parent, it was determined that the Company has significant influence over Sawgrass Parent. Therefore, the Company accounts for its investment in Sawgrass Parent as an Equity Method Investment.
The Company also concluded that the arrangement
with Sawgrass Parent is within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, and the common units issued to the Company
by Sawgrass Parent represented non-cash consideration. The initial carrying value of the equity method investment as of December 31, 2024
of $7.2 million was measured equal to the fair value of the common units received for future services to be performed under the AMA. The
Company recorded $7.2 million of deferred revenue for services to be performed under the AMA. During the year ended December 31, 2024,
the Company did not recognize any revenue associated with the AMA. The Company initially recorded the equity method investment in Sawgrass
Parent of $7.2 million, equal to the fair value of the common units as of December 31, 2024. Revenue recognition started January 1, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 the Company recorded revenue in the amount of $
The Company assesses its equity method investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. No impairment losses on this equity method investment were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. See further disclosure of accounting policies related to this equity method investment above under “Use of Estimates.”

The Company has a
Loan Costs
Loan costs paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts to the related loans and amortized to interest expense over the loan term.
Sales Returns
Our systems are sold as integrated systems and there are no sales returns allowed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing of when certain types of revenues will be recognized. The basic principles in ASC 606 include the following: a contract with a customer creates distinct contract assets and performance obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of control to a good or service to a customer.
Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:
| 1. | Identify the contract with the customer; |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price; |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company generates revenue from six sources:
| (1) | Technology Systems |
| (2) | AI Technologies |
| (3) | Technical Support including related party revenues from the AMA which began in January 2025 |
| (4) | Consulting services including related party revenues from the AMA which began in January 2025 | |
| (5) | Hosting | |
| (6) | Technology Solutions |
Technology Systems
For revenues related to technology systems, the Company recognizes revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.
Accordingly, the Company bases its revenue recognition on ASC 606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date including a profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured and revenue is recognized accordingly.
| 13 |
DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation. To accurately reflect revenue recognition based on the input method, the Company has adopted the implementation guidance as set out in ASC-606-10-55-187 through 192. Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other allocable indirect costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administration costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “contract assets”. Any billings of customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “contract liabilities”. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable.
AI Technologies
The Company has revenue from applications that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of predetermined algorithms which provide important operating information to the users of our systems. The revenue generated from these applications of AI consists of a fixed fee related to the design, development, testing and incorporation of new algorithms into the system, which is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon acceptance, as well as an annual application maintenance fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term.
Technical Support
Technical support services are provided on both an as-needed and extended-term basis and may include providing both parts and labor. Maintenance and technical support provided outside of a maintenance contract are on an “as-requested” basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized over time ratably over the term of the contract. This includes related party revenue from the AMA which began on January 1, 2025 related to installation and maintenance of certain assets deployed by New APR.
Consulting Services
The Company’s consulting services business generates revenues under contracts with customers from four sources: (1) Professional Services (consulting and auditing and including revenues from the AMA which began in January 2025); (2) Software licensing with optional hardware sales; (3) Customer service training, and (4) Maintenance/support
| (1) | Revenues for professional services, which are of short-term duration, are recognized when services are completed; |
| (2) | For all periods reflected in this report, software license sales have been one-time sales of a perpetual license to use our software product and the customer also has the option to purchase third-party manufactured handheld devices from us if they purchase our software license. Accordingly, the revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software and delivery of the hardware, as applicable, to the customer; |
| (3) | Training sales are one-time upfront short-term training sessions and are recognized after the service has been performed; |
| (4) | Maintenance/support is an optional product sold to our software license customers under one-year contracts accordingly, maintenance payments received upfront are deferred and recognized over the contract term. |
Hosting
The Company generates hosting revenue from deploying and operating edge data centers, which provide customers with dedicated cabinet space on a monthly basis. The revenue from hosting consists of fixed monthly fees per cabinet, recognized as revenue ratably over the contractual hosting term, as the Company provides continuous access to the hosted infrastructure and related services.
The Company will generate future Hosting revenue by also renting GPU’s as a service through a Master Service Agreement. These revenues will come from a single customer. The revenue from GPU as a service will be recognized gross of operator’s costs as the Company has been identified as principal to the service agreement. Revenue will be recognized using a time-based and usage-based measure, over the contractual hosting and rental term.

Technology Solutions
Integrated infrastructure solutions, including procurement, logistics, and deployment support services was introduced as a business vertical in 2025. Technology Solutions provides infrastructure-related services, including manufacturer-agnostic sourcing of equipment, logistics coordination, supply chain management, and fulfillment services in support of digital infrastructure and data center deployments. These services are designed to complement the Company’s edge data center platform and address customer requirements for supply chain efficiency, reduced lead times, and execution support
Multiple Performance Obligations and Allocation of Transaction Price
Arrangements with customers may involve multiple performance obligations including project revenue and maintenance services in our Technology Systems business. Maintenance will occur after the project is completed and may be provided on an extended-term basis or on an as-needed basis. In our consulting services business, multiple performance obligations may include any of the above six sources. Training and maintenance on software products may occur after the software product sale while other services may occur before or after the software product sale and may not relate to the software product. Revenue recognition for a multiple performance obligations arrangement is as follows:
Each performance obligation is accounted for separately when each has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is Company specific objective evidence of the selling price of each deliverable. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices as determined by the price of the items when sold separately. Once the selling price is allocated, the revenue for each performance obligation is recognized using the applicable criteria under GAAP as discussed above for performance obligations sold in single performance obligation arrangements. A delivered item or items that do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting within the arrangement are combined with the other applicable undelivered items within the arrangement. The allocation of arrangement consideration and the recognition of revenue is then determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The Company sells its various services and software and hardware products at established prices on a standalone basis which provides Company specific objective evidence of selling price for purposes of performance obligations related to selling price allocation. The Company only sells maintenance services or spare parts based on its established rates after it has completed a system integration project for a customer. The customer is not required to purchase maintenance services. All elements in multiple performance obligations arrangements with Company customers qualify as separate units of account for revenue recognition purposes.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to our five lines of business: Technology Systems, Services, Consulting, Hosting and Technology Solutions. These costs include inventory, shipping, certain fixed labor and overhead, and allocated depreciation and amortization, as applicable to each line of business.
Advertising
The Company expenses the cost of advertising.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values. The stock-based compensation carries a graded vesting feature subject to the condition of time of employment service with awarded stock-based compensation tranches vesting evenly upon the anniversary date of the award.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. In accordance with ASC 718-10-35-8, the Company elected to recognize the fair value of the stock award using the graded vesting method as time of employment service is the criteria for vesting. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly subjective variables.
| 15 |
DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
For restricted stock awards, fair value is measured at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. That value is then recognized over the requisite vesting period. The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an effective income tax rate of approximately 0%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance maintained against the Company’s net deferred tax assets. As a result, losses incurred during the current period did not result in the recognition of an income tax benefit. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to its net deferred tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, as it is not more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize the benefit of the NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.
Any penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities are included in operating expenses.
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 were filed. Tax years 2023, 2024 and 2025 remain open for potential audit.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments, convertible preferred stock or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2026, there were (i) an aggregate of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock, (ii) employee stock options to purchase an aggregate of shares of common stock, (iii) common shares issuable upon conversion of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iv) common shares issuable upon conversion of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2025, there were (i) an aggregate of zero outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock, (ii) employee stock options to purchase an aggregate of shares of common stock, (iii) common shares issuable upon conversion of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iv) common shares issuable upon conversion of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 “Leases”. This guidance requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, this guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the revenue guidance in ASC 606.
The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and instead recognize the lease payments in expense as incurred. The Company has also elected to account for real estate leases that contain both lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Leases that are clearly insignificant will not be accounted for under ASC 842 and instead the Company will recognize lease payments in expense as incurred.
At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
The Company’s assessment is based on:
(1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset,
(2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and
(3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset.
Operating ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payment over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The lease term includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options or not to exercise the termination options. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administration expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for leases as a lessor in accordance with ASC 842-30. Under ASC 842-30, leases are classified as either operating, sales-type or finance leases based on the terms and characteristics of the lease agreement. The Company is the lessor in a master capital lease agreement entered into during the second quarter of 2025 with Region 16 Education Service Center. Under the terms of the agreement, Region 16 is leasing a 500kW generator for a period of 84 months beginning June 1, 2025. Monthly lease payments are $4,035.38, with a $1 buyout option at the end of the lease term. The lease meets the criteria for classification as a sale-type finance lease under ASC 842 due to the presence of a bargain purchase option and the lease term covering a substantial portion of the asset’s useful life. At lease inception, the Company reclassified the generator from property and equipment and recognized a lease receivable equal to the present value of the lease payments. The present value of the lease payments was calculated to be $282,772, which approximates the fair value of the generator. The implied annual interest rate used to calculate the present value was 5.29%, determined using the internal rate of return (IRR) method. This rate reflects the financing component embedded in the lease payments. Over the lease term, the Company recognizes interest income on the lease receivable and reduces the receivable as payments are received. The final $1 payment at the end of the lease term will transfer ownership of the generator to Region 16. The Company believes this lease arrangement is appropriately accounted for under ASC 842 and reflects the economic substance of the transaction.

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.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles: Goodwill and Other‒Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). The guidance modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and can be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
Under Accounting Codification ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $
The Company successfully raised approximately
$
In addition, management has taken and continues to take actions including, but not limited to, elimination of certain costs that do not contribute to short term revenue, and re-aligning both management and staffing with a focus on improving certain skill sets necessary to build growth and profitability and focusing product strategy on opportunities that are likely to bear results in the relatively short term. The Company believes that, with the combination of its current capital and commercial sales success, it will have sufficient working capital to meet its obligations over the following twelve months. Recently, the Company has seen growth in its contracted backlog as well as significant, positive signs from new commercial projects that indicate improvements in future revenues.

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our traditional market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously reported could put a strain on our cash reserves. However, given the Company’s current capital, the anticipated steady cash flow from the Hosting and Technology solutions line of business and proven ability to raise capital via the public markets indicate there is no substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months. We expect to continue executing the plan to grow our business and achieve profitability as previously discussed. The Company may selectively look at opportunities for fundraising in the future including potential debt offerings to support asset acquisitions. Management has extensively evaluated our requirements for the next twelve months and has determined that the Company currently has sufficient cash and access to capital to operate for at least that period.
While no assurance can be provided, management believes that these actions provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern and to grow its business and achieve profitability with access to additional capital funding. Ultimately the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing the plan described above which was put in place in late 2024 and will continue in 2026 and beyond. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSET
In May 2024, the Company recorded an intangible
asset with a fair value of $
The fair value of the asset was determined on the contract inception date based on the standalone selling price of the service and goods to be provided to the customer under the 5-year contract since the Company could not reasonably estimate the fair value of the data rights received. The non-monetary transaction was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10-32-21 through ASC 606-10-32-24.
On the contract inception date, the Company recorded
deferred revenue of $
In accordance with ASC 350-30-35-1, the amortization for the intangible asset is based on its useful life and the useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which it is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity. Accordingly, amortization of the intangible asset was recognized over the life of the contract of five years.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350-30-35-14, which requires finite-lived intangible assets to be tested for impairment under ASC 360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Management identified impairment indicators during 2025 related to its CN Digital Image data rights, including (i) a significant adverse change in the extent and manner in which the asset was being used, (ii) adverse legal and contractual developments, (iii) the absence of current and projected cash flows, and (iv) the expectation that the asset would be terminated or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
The Company generated minimal subscription revenue from the licensed data, and during 2025 the Company ceased providing the related maintenance services. In addition, contractual disputes arose between the parties, and by late 2025 both parties had ceased performance and were negotiating termination of the arrangement.
| 21 |
DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited) |
As a result of these events, the Company performed a recoverability test as of December 31, 2025 by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The Company determined that the carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable, as estimated undiscounted future cash flows were negligible. The Company measured the impairment loss based on the asset’s estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025. Given the absence of historical or expected future cash flows, the lack of an observable market for the asset, and the ongoing contractual dispute, the Company determined that the fair value of the Digital Image data rights was zero.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment
of $

In December 2024, the Company entered into a series of contracts with Fortress under which the Company deploys and operates a fleet of mobile gas turbines and balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales and operations functions to New APR in connection with the assets. In exchange for services performed under the Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”), the Company received an advance cash payment and common units in Sawgrass Parent (see Note 9). The Company accounted for the arrangement with New APR as Revenue from contracts with customers. New APR advanced the Company $5.0 million in cash upon execution of the contract, which was recorded as a contract liability and was applied ratably on a monthly basis against amounts incurred under the AMA for a period of 12 months in 2025. In the event that the AMA was terminated within the first 12 months, any balance remaining of the advanced funds would have been credited in full to the Company.
The advanced consideration did not provide
the benefit of financing as the cash was consumed within the first year of the contract to align the interests of both parties under
the AMA. As of March 31, 2026, deferred revenue under the arrangement was zero

At the close of business December 31, 2024, Duos Energy Corporation, a subsidiary, executed the AMA with New APR to manage its operations. The Company’s former CEO is currently a Director of the Company, and is also the CEO of New APR and the operations of New APR are housed in the same facility as the Company in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Company was issued a 5% non-voting ownership
interest in Sawgrass Parent, in the form of 25,882,353 common units, which is accounted for using the equity method. The Company determined
the equity method was appropriate since Sawgrass Parent is considered a related party due to common management and the Company can exert
significant influence over the operations of New APR. The Company concluded that the arrangement with New APR is within the scope of ASC
606, Revenue from contracts with customers, and the common units issued to the Company by Sawgrass Parent represented non-cash consideration
under ASC 606-10-32-31. The initial carrying value as of December 31, 2024 of $

NOTE 12 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Beginning on January 1, 2025, the Company operates in four operating and reportable segments which consist of (1) applying machine vision and AI to analyze high-speed objects and generate revenue from system installations, AI integrations, support, and consulting, herein known as the “Technologies” segment, (2) deploying Edge Data Centers for localized data processing in rural and underserved markets and providing GPUaaS, herein known as the “Data Center Hosting & Related Services” segment, (3) delivering manufacturer-agnostic infrastructure sourcing, integration, and value-added supply chain services supporting data center, AI, and enterprise deployments, herein known as the “Technology Solutions” segment and (4) providing Asset Management Services under the AMA with New APR, managing mobile gas turbines and related assets, herein known as the “Asset Management Services” segment. The Company has determined that these reportable segments were strategic business units that offer different products and services. Currently, these reportable segments are being managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.
The Company’s Technologies segment applies machine vision and AI to monitor and analyze high-speed objects such as trains, trucks, automobiles, and aircraft, and generates revenue through its technology systems, AI applications, ongoing technical support, and consulting services.
The Technology Solutions business unit, which delivers manufacturer-agnostic infrastructure sourcing, integration, and value-added supply chain services supporting data center, AI, and enterprise deployments.
The Company’s Data Center Hosting & Related Services segment generates revenues through the deployment of Edge Data Centers that enable faster, localized data processing in rural and underserved markets, providing scalable solutions for enterprise and government clients and providing GPU as a service.
The Company’s Asset Management Services segment generates revenues through the AMA with New APR, whereby Duos Energy oversees the deployment and operation of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales, and operations support to New APR.
Corporate and unallocated amounts that do not relate to a reportable segment have been allocated to “Corporate & Unallocated.”
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The decisions concerning the allocation of the Company’s resources are made by the CODM with oversight by the Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the performance of each segment and makes decisions concerning the allocation of resources based upon segment operating profit (loss), generally defined as income or loss before interest expense and income taxes. The CODM assesses segment performance by using each segment’s operating income (loss) and considers budget-to-actual variances on a periodic basis (at least quarterly) when making decisions about operational planning, including whether to invest resources into the segments or into other parts of the Company. Segment assets are reviewed by the Company’s CODM and are disclosed below. The accounting policies of the Technologies, Data Center Hosting & Related Services, Technology Solutions, and Asset Management Services segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with ASC 842, the lease is classified as a finance lease, as the $1 buyout option indicates a transfer of ownership.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the board of directors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which was effective as of January 1, 2023 with a term of 10 years. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discounted price, through payroll deductions from a minimum of 1% and up to 25% of their eligible compensation up to a maximum of $25,000 or the IRS allowable limit per calendar year. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer administers the ESPP in conjunction with approvals from the Company’s Compensation Committee, including with respect to the frequency and duration of offering periods, the maximum number of shares that an eligible employee may purchase during an offering period, and, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ESPP, the per-share purchase price. Currently, the maximum number of shares that can be purchased by an eligible employee under the ESPP is 10,000 shares per offering period and there are two six-month offering periods that begin in the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The purchase price for one share of Common Stock under the ESPP is currently equal to 85% of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the first trading day of the offering period or the purchase date, whichever is lower (look-back feature). Although not required by the ESPP, all payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the ESPP are segregated and deemed as “restricted cash” until the completion of the offering period and redemption of the applicable shares and those withheld amounts are recorded as liabilities. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP is 1,000,000 shares.
Under ASC 718-50 “Employee Share Purchase Plans” the plan is considered a compensatory plan and the compensation for each six-month offering period is computed based upon the grant date fair value of the estimated shares to be purchased based on the estimated payroll deduction withholdings. The grant date fair value was computed as the sum of (a) 15% purchase discount off of the grant date quoted trading price of the Company’s common stock and (b) the fair value of the look-back feature of the Company’s common stock on the grant date which consists of a call option on 85% of a share of common stock and a put option on 15% of a share of common stock.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has an accrued
liability of $
The Company computed the fair value of the look-back feature call and put options for January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026 using a Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “project,” “target,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “forecast” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements typically address the Company’s expected future business and financial performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
These factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to continue and expand operations, the competitive environment generally and in the Company’s specific market areas, changes in technology, the availability of and the terms of financing, changes in costs and availability of goods and services, economic conditions in general and in the Company’s specific market areas, changes in federal, state and/or local government laws and regulations potentially affecting the use of the Company’s technology, changes in operating strategy or development plans and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of risks, uncertainties and factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other filings filed by the Company with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. The Company believes its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions. No assurance, however, can be given that the Company will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Indeed, it is likely that some of the Company’s assumptions may prove to be incorrect. The Company’s actual results and financial position may vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview
We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements.
Plan of Operation
The Company’s plan of operation is focused on improving operational execution, advancing its technology platform, and scaling its digital infrastructure initiatives to support long-term revenue growth and increased recurring revenues.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued to transition its business toward a more diversified model centered on digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and technology-enabled services. The Company’s operations are increasingly focused on expanding its edge computing platform, growing its energy and consulting capabilities, and enhancing its technology solutions offerings.
Key elements of the Company’s plan of operation include:
Expansion of Edge Data Center Platform
The Company, through Duos Edge AI, Inc., is actively deploying a network of modular Edge Data Centers (“EDCs”) designed to support localized computing, artificial intelligence workloads, and low-latency applications.
The Company’s EDC strategy is intended to support recurring revenue through hosting, colocation, and managed infrastructure services. The execution of this strategy requires capital investment, customer adoption, and operational execution, each of which is subject to risks.
Expansion into Energy and Power Solutions
The Company expanded its operations into energy and power solutions through Duos Energy Corporation, which focuses on energy consulting, power infrastructure planning, and behind-the-meter (“BTM”) energy solutions.
The Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”) with New APR beginning in January 2025. In connection with this agreement, the Company also acquired a minority, non-voting equity interest in the ultimate parent of New APR. In 2026, the Company and New APR mutually agreed to reduce the scope of services under the AMA, resulting in a corresponding decline in related party revenue and associated costs as part of streamlining operations and aligning resources with its core strategic initiatives.
Growth of Technology Solutions and Infrastructure Services
In the first quarter of 2026, the Company expanded its Technology Solutions business to provide infrastructure-related services supporting data center and digital infrastructure deployments.
These services include procurement, supply chain management, logistics coordination, and deployment support for infrastructure projects. The Company’s Technology Solutions platform is intended to complement its EDC strategy and provide additional revenue opportunities through both internal deployments and third-party customer engagements.
The Company believes that demand for integrated infrastructure solutions is increasing; however, the growth of this business is subject to supply chain conditions, vendor availability, and competitive factors.
Development of AI Technologies and Automation
The Company continues to invest in the development of proprietary artificial intelligence technologies, including computer vision, machine learning, and predictive analytics.
These technologies are being integrated across the Company’s platforms to enhance performance, enable automation, and support real-time data processing. The Company is also advancing AI-powered capabilities such as self-diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and system monitoring.
| 46 |
Transition to Recurring Revenue Models
The Company continues to transition certain offerings toward subscription-based and recurring revenue models. This includes expanding hosting services, software-based offerings, and long-term service agreements.
In connection with its inspection technologies, the Company has introduced more modular and flexible deployment options, allowing customers to select specific capabilities aligned with their operational requirements. This approach is intended to improve scalability and increase recurring revenue over time.
Legacy Technology Systems
The Company’s legacy business, which is the railcard inspection portal, has become less important to the Company’s future as we diversify our business strategy.
The Company expects that over time, its legacy systems will represent a decreasing percentage of total revenues as newer infrastructure and service-based offerings expand.
Prospects and Outlook
The Company’s prospects are influenced by its ability to execute its strategic initiatives and by broader industry trends affecting digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and energy markets.
The Company’s primary objectives for 2026 and beyond include:
Scaling Edge Data Center Deployments
The Company intends to expand its network of Edge Data Centers to support increasing demand for distributed computing and AI workloads. These deployments are expected to target enterprise customers, telecommunications providers, and public sector organizations, particularly in underserved markets.
The Company believes that localized computing infrastructure will play an important role in supporting next-generation applications; however, adoption rates, capital availability, and competitive factors may impact growth.
Deployment of GPU-as-a-Service Arrangement
The Company has entered into a master service agreement with Hydra Host, Inc. containing commitments to key vendors to purchase GPU servers, networking equipment, and related infrastructure to support its GPU as a service operation. Hydra Host Inc., as the operator under the arrangement, will arrange asset purchases with vendors and configure, install, operate, and maintain the servers on the Company’s behalf and secure a customer for the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate estimated cost of these capital commitments was approximately $145 million, as of March 31, 2026 $35.42 Million has been deposited to secure the respective GPUs and Server assets. The remaining commitments are expected to be funded through a combination of senior debt financing and customer prepayments. The Company will secure senior debt financing to fund approximately 70% of its GPU infrastructure investments after approximately $43.5 million in funding has been provided to the GPU vendor. The debt will be secured by the underlying GPU server assets and include customary covenants and reserve requirements. Interest rates may vary based on market conditions and the future customer risk profile.
Expansion of Energy and Power Solutions
The Company intends to build upon its initial energy and consulting activities, including the AMA with New APR, to expand its presence in the distributed energy and fast power markets.
The Company believes that increasing demand for power associated with data centers and AI infrastructure presents a significant opportunity; however, this market is subject to regulatory, operational, and competitive risks.
Growth of Technology Solutions Platform
The Company expects to further develop its Technology Solutions capabilities, including infrastructure procurement, logistics, and deployment services.
These offerings are intended to support both the Company’s internal infrastructure initiatives and third-party customer projects, providing additional revenue diversification.
Continued Development of AI and Automation Technologies
The Company plans to continue enhancing its AI capabilities to improve system performance, enable automation, and support advanced analytics across its platforms.
Forward-Looking Considerations
The Company believes that its diversified strategy, including digital infrastructure, energy solutions, and technology services, positions it to pursue growth opportunities in multiple markets.
However, the Company’s ability to achieve its objectives is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including:
| · | The ability to obtain sufficient capital to fund infrastructure and GPU as a service development |
| · | Execution risks associated with deploying and operating EDCs and engaging in the GPU as a service agreement |
| · | Dependence on key contracts |
| 47 |
| · | Customer adoption of new technologies and services |
| · | Supply chain and vendor risks |
| · | Competitive market conditions |
| · | Macroeconomic and regulatory factors |
With the diversification into Edge Computing and power generation, coupled with continued growth in its core machine vision and AI-based inspection technologies, the Company is well-positioned to drive increased revenue, improve profitability, and generate long-term shareholder value.
Although the Company’s prospects for future revenue growth are anticipated to be favorable, investing in our securities involves risk and careful consideration should be made before deciding to purchase our securities. There are many risks that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control and unexpected macro events can have a severe impact on the business. Please see the risk factors identified in “Item 1A– Risk Factors” in the 2025 Annual Report.
Results of Operations

The decrease in technology systems revenues to $44,259 from $64,684 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily attributed to continued delays outside of the Company’s control with deployment of our two high-speed Railcar Inspection Portals, which are recorded in the technology systems portion of our business. Although these systems remain largely ready for deployment, customer delays at the deployment site continue to prevent installation even though these two high-speed Railcar Inspection Portals were deep into their production and manufacturing phases, which did not allow us to record the next phase of recognition. We believe that the customer is approaching the completion of the local site preparation and is preparing for field installation in 2026.
The Company began recognizing revenues from its Technology Solutions business unit during the second half of 2025. The Technology Solutions business unit provides manufacturer-agnostic infrastructure sourcing, integration, and value-added supply chain services supporting data center, AI, and enterprise deployments. No such revenues were recognized during the comparable prior-year period.
The decrease in services and consulting revenue from the rail business from $972,751 to $532,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to the cessation of revenue recognition related to the CN Digital Image Agreement.
The decrease in related-party services and consulting revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by New APR beginning to reduce the scope of services provided under the Asset Management Agreement (“AMA”) established on December 31, 2024. Under the AMA, Duos Energy oversees the deployment and operation of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and related balance-of-plant inventory and provides management, sales, and operational support services to New APR. As a result, the Company generated $648,447 of revenue under the AMA during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $3,010,625 during the comparable 2025 period. In addition, the Company recognized $904,125 of revenue during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 related to the amortization of a deferred revenue liability associated with the Company’s 5% non-voting equity interest in the ultimate parent of New APR. Revenue generated under the AMA and from the 5% interest is reported within “Services and consulting – related parties” in the statements of operations.
| 48 |
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company began recognizing revenues from the deployment of Edge Data Centers, which are reported within the “Hosting” category. The $30,275 of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 relates to Edge Data Centers that became operational during the second quarter of 2025. The Company continues to invest capital in expanding its network of Edge Data Centers, each of which is expected to begin generating revenue upon deployment and commencement of operations with its anchor tenant.
The Company expects services revenue from both its hosting and technology solutions to increase throughout 2026. This growth is expected to be driven by the deployment of additional edge data centers coming online, as well as expanding technology solutions revenue tied to growth in the data center market.
Cost of Revenues

| Total cost of revenues | $ | 1,111,659 | $ | 3,638,526 | -69 | % | ||||||
Cost of revenues largely comprises equipment and labor necessary to support the implementation of new systems, support and maintenance of existing systems, software projects, and support of the AMA with New APR.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of revenues related to technology systems decreased compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by a reduction in personnel-related fixed costs. The decrease also reflects the continued ramp-down of manufacturing activities in advance of field installation of the Company’s two high-speed Railcar Inspection Portals, which has temporarily slowed project activity and further reduced cost of revenues pending customer readiness for site deployment.
Cost of revenues related to services and consulting from the rail business decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to the cessation of amortization expense recognized in connection with the CN Digital Image Agreement, which had previously been recorded in cost of revenues, as well as lower personnel-related fixed costs.
Cost of revenues related to services and consulting from related parties decreased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The reduction was primarily driven by New APR beginning to scale back the scope of services provided under the AMA, pursuant to which Duos Energy manages the deployment and operations of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and related balance-of-plant inventory, including management, sales, and operational support services for New APR.
Consistent with the revenues generated from the deployment of Edge Data Centers, reflected in the Hosting category, the Company has begun recognizing associated cost of goods sold, primarily consisting of depreciation of the Edge Data Center pods and operating costs required to support the operation of the hosting infrastructure. No such costs were recognized during the comparable prior-year period.

| Gross margin | $ | 1,610,368 | $ | 1,313,659 | 23 | % | ||||||
Gross margin improved from 27% during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 59% during the same period in 2026, primarily due to reduced cost of revenues under the AMA related costs impacting cost of goods sold within the Technology Systems and Services and Consulting business lines. In addition, the Company recognized $904,125 of revenue during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 related to its 5% non-voting equity interest in the ultimate parent of New APR. As this revenue had no associated cost of revenue, it contributed at a 100% gross margin.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company experienced an increase in overall operating expenses compared to the same period in 2025. Sales and marketing expenses increased as additional resources were deployed to support business development initiatives. Research and development expenses decreased to zero due to scaled-back testing activities related to prospective technologies. General and administration expenses increased by 99%. This was due to multiple factors (1) the reduction of AMA related expenses, in 2026 there were approximately $187,000 required to be reclassed to COGS compared to AMA related expenses of approximately $1.2 million which were reclassed to COGS in 2025. (2) Higher non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $1.3 million in 2026 compared to approximately $1 million in 2025. (3) Bonus expense of approximately $600,000 in 2026 compared to zero in 2025. Overall, the Company continues to focus on managing operating expenses while supporting the evolving needs of its customers.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was $3,631,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,789,628 for the same period in 2025. The increase in operating loss was primarily driven by lower revenues during the quarter, resulting from the reduced scope of services provided under the Asset Management Agreement, as well as higher operating expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income(expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $139,301 and ($290,035) for the comparative period in 2025. Other income in 2026 was primarily driven by higher interest income resulting from a significantly larger cash balance compared to the prior period, as well as a $52,302 gain on the sale of investments recognized during the first quarter of 2026, which did not occur in the comparable 2025 period and no interest expense in 2026 compared to $322,577 in 2025.

Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $3,492,245 and $2,079,663, respectively. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to lower revenues resulting from the reduced scope of services provided by Duos Energy under the AMA with New APR, as discussed above, as well as higher operating expenses, including increased non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. Net loss per common share was $0.15 and $0.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a working capital surplus of $29,179,849 and the Company had a net loss of $3,492,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Cash Flows
The following table sets forth the major components of our statements of cash flows data for the periods presented:
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (1,361,911 | ) | $ | (4,673,425 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (41,189,127 | ) | (581,623 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 60,109,600 | 2,788,033 | ||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash | $ | 17,558,562 | $ | (2,467,015 | ) | |||
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1,361,911 and $ 4,673,425, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in 2026 was primarily driven by the collection of related-party accounts receivable, growth in Technology Solutions contract liabilities, and higher non-cash add-backs related to stock-based compensation. These favorable impacts were partially offset by a larger net loss, increases in trade accounts receivable and contract assets as project and service billings exceeded collections, continued reductions in related-party contract liabilities as the Company executes under the AMA, and lower depreciation and amortization expense compared to the prior-year period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $41,189,127 and $581,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in 2026 reflects continued investment in capitalized construction-in-progress costs related to the edge data centers currently owned by the Company, as well as significant deposits made on GPUs scheduled for deployment in 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 we purchased marketable securities in the amount of $29,693,638 and sold marketable securities for proceeds of $29,745,940 for a gain of $52,302. There were no such transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| 51 |
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $60,109,600 and $2,788,033, respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2026 were primarily attributable to a public offering of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $60.3 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2025 were primarily attributable to gross proceeds of $3,954,940 from our At-The-Market (ATM) offering program, offset partially by $1,000,000 in repayments toward the principal balance of the secured promissory notes entered into with 21 April Fund LP and 21 April Fund Ltd.
On a long-term basis, our liquidity is dependent on the successful continuation of the revenue diversification strategy into the Technology Solutions and Edge Data Center subsidiaries, and expansion of operations and receipt of revenues across all operating segments. We believe our current capital and revenues are sufficient to fund such expansion and our operations over the next twelve months, although we are dependent on timely payments from our customers for projects and work in process. However, we expect such timely payments to continue. Material cash requirements will be satisfied within the normal course of business including substantial upfront payments from our customers prior to starting projects. The Company may elect to purchase materials and supplies in advance of contract award but where there is a high probability of that award. Demand for our products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products and services, the technology market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our products and services, our business operations may continue to be challenged by our competitors and prolonged recession periods.
Liquidity
Under Accounting Codification ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $3,492,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $1,361,911. The working capital surplus and accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2026, were $29,179,849 and $87,695,285, respectively.
The Company successfully raised approximately $3,544,689 in gross proceeds from the sale of common stock through its At-The-Market (ATM) offering program in 2024 and raised an additional $8,927,347 in gross proceeds from the ATM in 2025. Furthermore, in 2025, the Company raised approximately $45 million from other equity offerings. More recently on February 26, 2026, the Company priced a public offering of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $65 million. The offering closed on March 2, 2026, and was conducted pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and related prospectus supplements filed with the SEC. The capital raised is expected to bolster the Company’s balance sheet and position it to pursue strategic initiatives related to Duos Edge AI, from a stronger financial foundation. In the long run, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing its business plan, generate enough revenue, and attain consistently profitable operations. We have analyzed our cash flow under “stress test” conditions and have determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand or available via the capital markets to maintain operations for at least twelve months from the issuance date of this report
In addition, management has taken and continues to take actions including, but not limited to, elimination of certain costs that do not contribute to short term revenue, and re-aligning both management and staffing with a focus on improving certain skill sets necessary to build growth and profitability and focusing product strategy on opportunities that are likely to bear results in the relatively short term. The Company believes that, with the combination of its current capital and commercial sales success, it will have sufficient working capital to meet its obligations over the following twelve months. Recently, the Company has seen growth in its contracted backlog as well as significant, positive signs from new commercial projects that indicate improvements in future revenues.
| 52 |
Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our traditional market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously reported could put a strain on our cash reserves. However, given the Company’s current capital, the anticipated steady cash flow from the Hosting and Technology Solutions lines of business and proven ability to raise capital via the public markets indicate there is no substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months. We expect to continue executing the plan to grow our business and achieve profitability as previously discussed. The Company may selectively look at opportunities for fundraising in the future including potential debt offerings to support asset acquisitions. Management has extensively evaluated our requirements for the next twelve months and has determined that the Company currently has sufficient cash and access to capital to operate for at least that period.
While no assurance can be provided, management believes that these actions provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern and to grow its business and achieve profitability with access to additional capital funding. Ultimately the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing the plan described above which was put in place in late 2024 and will continue in 2026 and beyond. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Revenue Recognition
For technology systems, the Company recognizes revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. The Company follows the principles in ASC 606 which include the following: a contract with a customer creates distinct contract assets and performance obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of control to a good or service to a customer.
Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:
| 1. | Identify the contract with the customer; | |
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| 3. | Determine the transaction price; | |
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and | |
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company generates revenue from six sources:
1. Technology Systems
2. AI Technologies
3. Technical Support including related party revenues from the AMA which began in January 2025
4. Consulting Services including related party revenues from the AMA which began in January 2025
5. Hosting
6. Technology Solutions
Equity Method Investments
If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated equity method investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective equity method investee and the Company’s share of the underlying equity of such equity method investee are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated equity method investees. Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or the occurrence of events that suggest an other-than-temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable.
| 53 |
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement (the “AMA”), with New APR, an entity formed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group (“FIG”). Under the AMA, Duos Energy manages the deployment and operations of a fleet of mobile gas turbines and balance-of-plant inventory, providing management, sales and operations functions to New APR in connection with the assets. In exchange for services to be performed under the AMA, the Company received an initial cash payment and common units in Sawgrass Parent. While the Company has board representation in Sawgrass Parent, its common units are non-voting and the Company does not control the board of directors of Sawgrass Parent.
Where the Company has an interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) it will consolidate any VIE in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both of the characteristics are met, the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary and therefore will consolidate that VIE into the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs that maintain specific ownership accounts for each investor are excluded from the scope of ASC 323-10. However, ASC 323-30 provides guidance on applying the criteria for equity method accounting to investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and LLCs. When an investor in a partnership, unincorporated joint venture or LLC has the ability to exercise significant influence over that investment, it should apply the equity method (ASC 323-10) by analogy (ASC 323-30-25-1).
Sawgrass Parent is deemed to be a VIE and the Company holds a 5% interest in Sawgrass Parent and an interest in the subsidiary New APR through the AMA, both of which are considered variable interests. However, the Company does not represent the primary beneficiary as it does not possess the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Sawgrass Parent. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate Sawgrass Parent. Due to the Company’s interest in Sawgrass Parent, it was determined that the Company has significant influence over Sawgrass Parent. Therefore, the Company accounts for its investment in Sawgrass Parent as an Equity Method Investment.
The Company also concluded that the arrangement with Sawgrass Parent is within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, and the common units issued to the Company by Sawgrass Parent represented non-cash consideration. The initial carrying value as of December 31, 2024 of $7.2 million was measured equal to the fair value of the common units received for future services to be performed under the AMA. The Company recorded $7.2 million of deferred revenue for services to be performed under the AMA. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any revenue associated with the AMA. The Company initially recorded the equity method investment in Sawgrass Parent of $7.2 million, equal to the fair value of the common units as of December 31, 2024.
Due to the unavailability of Q1-2026 financials from Sawgrass Parent, our equity method investee, the Company has applied a one-quarter lag (in accordance with ASC 323-10-35-6) in reporting and recording the value of its 5% minority investment. The Company records its 5% interest using the Equity Method as we have significant influence. ASC 323-10-35-4 requires an entity to recognize its share of earnings or loss of an equity method investee which adjusts the carrying amount of the investment and is reflected as earnings or loss in income. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Sawgrass APR Holding LLC (the “Agreement”), Net Profit and Net Loss for any Fiscal Year is allocated among the members in such a manner that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account Balance of each Member, as increased by the Member’s share of “minimum gain” and “partner minimum gain” (as such terms are used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2), to the extent possible, to be equal to the amount which would have been distributed to such Member pursuant to a Hypothetical Liquidation, as defined in the Agreement, as of the end of the last day of such fiscal year. Under the Hypothetical Liquidation, the assets of Sawgrass Parent are disposed of in a taxable disposition for the book value of such assets and the remaining amounts, after repayment of outstanding obligations are distributed to the members pursuant to the Agreement. Per the Agreement, the Company is entitled to pro-rata distributions only after Preferred Holders have received their Total Contributed Capital and subsequent distributions to Preferred and Incentive Unit Holders have reached the Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) Threshold of 1.5 times the initial contributions. Therefore, it is likely that early periods will not generate sufficient earnings to provide the Company with a return in the form of a claim on net assets. Based on the terms of the Agreement our specified allocation of earnings and losses of 5% differs from the allocation of cash from operations and liquidation. Therefore, we will apply the guidance in ASC 970-323-35-17 by analogy, which states, if the specified allocation for earnings differs from the allocation of cash from operations and on liquidation, the investor should not use the specified earnings or loss percentages to determine its share of the investee’s earnings. Rather, the investor should analyze the investment agreement to determine how the increase or decrease in the investee’s net assets during the reporting period would affect the cash that the investor would receive over the investee’s life and on its liquidation.
| 54 |
As per the guidance above, the subsequent recognition of the equity method investment should reflect the Company’s claim on net assets, determined by its rights to distributions and residual assets under the Agreement’s distribution waterfall. The Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method satisfies this requirement by simulating a hypothetical liquidation at each reporting period, allocating net assets based on the rights and priorities defined in the Agreement. This approach reflects the Company’s economic interest in the Sawgrass Parent by estimating the amount it would receive in a liquidation scenario, aligning the recognition of income or loss with the actual distribution provisions under the Agreement. Accordingly, this method appropriately represents the cash distribution under Section 10 and the allocation of profit and loss under Section 9.1 of the Agreement.
At the initial investment date, the Company’s hypothetical claim on net assets was zero, and it is expected to remain so, until other investors have received their Total Contributed Capital and the MOIC Threshold has been met. As a result of the MOIC not being met, the Company’s share of earnings under the HLBV method is zero during these early periods. Because the Company is not obligated to fund Sawgrass Parent’s losses, no losses will be allocated unless the investment becomes impaired, and such losses will not exceed the initial investment of $7.2 million. Similarly, net income will not be allocated until the HLBV calculation results in an allocation that exceeds the Company’s carrying value.
Accordingly, the Company will continue to present the equity method investment at its initial fair value unless the HLBV calculation yields a profit or the investment becomes impaired.
Management believes that the use of estimates and assumptions in applying the equity method is reasonable.
The Company assesses its equity method investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
In May 2024, the Company recorded an intangible asset with a fair value of $11,161,428. This asset represents non-monetary consideration received under a 5-year customer contract, in which the Company would provide maintenance services to the customer. The intangible asset represents Digital Image data rights in the form of a license agreement received by the Company from the customer.
The fair value of the asset was determined on the contract inception date based on the standalone selling price of the service and goods to be provided to the customer under the 5-year contract since the Company could not reasonably estimate the fair value of the data rights received. The non-monetary transaction was accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10-32-21 through ASC 606-10-32-24.
On the contract inception date, the Company recorded
deferred revenue of $
In accordance with ASC 350-30-35-1, the amortization for the intangible asset is based on its useful life and the useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which it is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity. Accordingly, amortization of the intangible asset is recognized over the life of the contract of five years.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350-30-35-14, which requires finite-lived intangible assets to be tested for impairment under ASC 360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Management identified impairment indicators during 2025 related to its CN Digital Image data rights, including (i) a significant adverse change in the extent and manner in which the asset was being used, (ii) adverse legal and contractual developments, (iii) the absence of current and projected cash flows, and (iv) the expectation that the asset would be terminated or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
The Company generated minimal subscription revenue from the licensed data, and during 2025 the Company ceased providing the related maintenance services. In addition, contractual disputes arose between the parties, and by late 2025 both parties had ceased performance and were negotiating termination of the arrangement.
As a result of these events, the Company performed a recoverability test as of December 31, 2025 by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The Company determined that the carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable, as estimated undiscounted future cash flows were negligible. The Company measured the impairment loss based on the asset’s estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025. Given the absence of historical or expected future cash flows, the lack of an observable market for the asset, and the ongoing contractual dispute, the Company determined that the fair value of the CN Digital data rights License was zero.
Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $8,130,461 in 2025, representing the full carrying amount of the CN Digital Image License. Because the asset was originally recognized as part of a non-cash exchange with a corresponding deferred liability offset recorded on the balance sheet, the impairment was recorded by eliminating both the intangible asset and the related deferred liability. As a result, the impairment did not impact the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
| 55 |
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values. The stock-based compensation carries a graded vesting feature subject to the condition of time of employment service with awarded stock-based compensation tranches vesting evenly upon the anniversary date of the award.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. In accordance with ASC 718-10-35-8, the Company elected to recognize the fair value of the stock awards using the graded vesting method as time of employment service is the criteria for vesting. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly subjective variables.
For restricted stock awards, fair value is measured at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. That value is then recognized over the requisite vesting period.
The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller,, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our Company’s or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
See the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2026. In addition, GPU as a service presents new material risk factors for the Company. Revenue will be concentrated with a single customer; the Company bears the full risk of customer nonpayment, as the third-party operator, Hydra Host, does not guarantee customer credit performance. The Company will retain ownership of the GPU servers at the conclusion of the customer contract and is exposed to residual value risk related to changes in technology, pricing, and market demand.
We believe there are no other changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2026.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
