NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026, AND 2025
| 1. | ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS |
VenHub, Global Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our” doing business as Venhub) was registered in Wyoming on

| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2025.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has sold three stores and is operating two Company owned stores which were operational on June 6, 2025 and November 4, 2025. Since its inception, the Company has experienced recurring losses and, as of June 30, 2026, reported an accumulated deficit of $
Reclassification
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. During the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, the Company determined that certain non-cash fair value adjustments related to convertible notes accounted for under the fair value option had previously been presented within interest expense. These amounts have been reclassified to "Change in fair value of convertible debt" within other expense. The reclassification had no effect on total other expense, net loss, earnings (loss) per share, cash flows, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity.

Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with ASC 330, Inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method and includes the purchase price of raw materials, freight, applicable taxes, and other costs incurred to bring inventory to its present location and condition.
The Company regularly evaluates inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence, slow-moving items, and changes in expected future demand. When inventory is determined to be obsolete, damaged, or its carrying value is no longer recoverable, the inventory is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis for the affected inventory and are not subsequently reversed if market conditions improve.

| Raw material | ||||||||
| Product inventory | ||||||||
| Work in progress | ||||||||
| Inventory | $ | $ | ||||||
Inventory consists primarily of raw materials, purchased components, subassemblies, robotic units and convenience items for our Company owned stores. Work in process includes partially assembled robotic systems and artificial intelligence hardware integrated with proprietary software that are in various stages of completion.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with ASC 330, Inventory. The Company periodically evaluates inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence, and recoverability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company determined that certain production inventory associated with a product design was no longer expected to be utilized in the manufacture of products for sale and had no alternative future use, as we made several process improvements to the design of the store. Accordingly, the Company recorded an inventory write-down of $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
Significant estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include recording of convertible notes, depreciation and amortization based on estimated useful lives of property and equipment and the fair value of shares issued for compensation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) includes the cost of consumer products sold through the Company’s automated retail stores, the purchase price of inventory, inbound freight, packaging materials, and costs associated with product assembly or customization. COGS is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, which typically coincides with the transfer of control of goods to the customer.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $
Intercompany Transactions
The Company engages in transactions with its subsidiaries and other related entities as part of its normal business operations. These transactions are conducted on terms and conditions that are similar to those with third parties and are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists primarily of robotics systems, store structures, and related technology infrastructure. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, which the Company estimates is
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized as equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. The Company had impairment as of June 30, 2026.
The Company capitalizes the costs of constructing and preparing company-owned retail stores and display centers for their intended use. Capitalized costs include expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, and development of store locations, such as leasehold improvements, construction costs, architectural and design fees, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Internal payroll and related costs that are directly associated with store development activities are also capitalized.
Once a store or display is placed into service, the assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from five to seven years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and over the shorter of the useful life or lease term for leasehold improvements. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
If indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates company-owned stores or display centers for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the store assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. If the carrying value exceeds expected cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is a liability on the Company’s balance sheet that represents payment for preorders of the Company’s stores and for store sale not yet in production. Deferred revenue is recognized as earned revenue on the income statement as the good or service is delivered to the customer. The balance at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 was $
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits are recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has not yet transferred control of the promised goods or services to the customer in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Upon satisfaction of the related performance obligations, these amounts will be recognized as revenue. Customer deposits are refundable until the underlying order is fulfilled. The balance at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 was $
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset. U.S. GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows:
| Level 1 | – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2 | – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
| Level 3 | – | Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Refer to Note 10 for liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026, AND 2025
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts (“ASC 606”) using the 5 step process:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer. |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price. |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price. |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are from the sale of Smart Stores and, once fully commercialized, recurring subscription fees for its SaaS platform and related maintenance and support services.
Smart Stores
Revenue from the sale of Smart Stores is recognized at a point in time, generally upon delivery when control of the Smart Store transfers to the customer. Smart Store arrangements typically require that the customer also enter into a SaaS subscription agreement, as the SaaS platform is essential to the full operation of the Smart Store.
SaaS Services
The Company’s SaaS platform provides customers with cloud-based inventory management, artificial intelligence–driven personalization, and autonomous operating functionality. The Company has concluded that SaaS services are a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract and while the SaaS platform is necessary for operation, it is capable of being distinct and separately identifiable. Revenue from SaaS arrangements will be recognized ratably over the term of the subscription agreement, which is generally one year, as the services are provided. To date, however, the Company has not charged customers for SaaS services in connection with its initial Smart Store deployments. These services have been provided at no cost as part of the Company’s early-stage commercialization strategy, and accordingly, no revenue related to SaaS services has been recognized for the periods presented.
Maintenance and Support Services
Customers may elect to enter into maintenance and support agreements or alternatively request services from the Company on an ad hoc, pay-as-needed basis. Maintenance and support services, when provided under a contractual arrangement, are accounted for as a separate performance obligation and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Similar to SaaS, the Company has not charged its initial store customers for maintenance services to date, and no revenue has been recognized for these services for the periods presented.
Licensing of Intellectual Property
At present, the Company does not license its intellectual property separately from Smart Store sales. Should the Company enter into licensing arrangements in the future, such arrangements will be evaluated to determine whether they provide a right to use or a right to access the Company’s intellectual property and revenue will be recognized accordingly.
The Company’s evaluation under ASC 606-10-25-19 through 25-22 determined that while the Smart Store and SaaS are each capable of being distinct, the SaaS platform is essential to the full operation of the Smart Store, as disclosed in the Smart Store revenue recognition policy. As noted above, the Company has not recognized revenue for SaaS or maintenance services for the periods presented because such services were provided free of charge. Revenue is recognized at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.
To date, the Company has not charged customers for SaaS or maintenance services in connection with its initial Smart Store deployments; accordingly, no revenue related to SaaS or maintenance services has been recognized. The Company expects to begin charging for such services in the future and will recognize revenue over the service period in accordance with ASC 606.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026, AND 2025
The Company entered into SaaS subscription agreements in connection with the opening of its North Hollywood, Glendale and Hollywood Smart Stores. Although SaaS is a distinct performance obligation under ASC 606, the Company elected to provide such services free of charge as part of its early commercialization strategy. Accordingly, while the contracts were identified and performance obligations allocated, the transaction price attributable to SaaS was
Consistent with ASC 606-10-25-19 through 22, we considered whether the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other readily available resources; and the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
As each contract is distinct from each other and stand alone, the Company has determined that each is a separate performance obligation and not bundled together.
For product sales, revenue is typically recognized at the point in time when control is transferred, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the contract. For services or subscription-based contracts, revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
The Company disaggregates revenue based on the nature of the goods or services, geographical region, and timing of revenue recognition, as presented below:

The Company met the criteria for capitalization of costs related to products to be sold at the beginning of the first quarter of 2025. The smart store is ready for commercial production which is supported by conclusive design approvals, market testing, and validated production processes. Subsequent costs incurred to set up production and the transition to a commercial production phase began resulting in capitalization of product costs, rather than expensing them as research and development. See our inventory accounting policy for further information.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes expense for its share-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards at the time they are granted. For the purposes of estimating share-based compensation expense for these awards, the Company estimates the fair value of common stock issued at or near the date of grant using a combination of an income approach and a market approach under Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 7 for more information.
Convertible Notes
The Company previously issued convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal balance of $
Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes were recognized in earnings.
The fair value of the notes was determined using a combination of valuation techniques, including a Black-Scholes option pricing model for embedded derivative features and market-based inputs such as interest rates. These measurements were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repaid all outstanding amounts under the convertible notes. As a result, convertible note liability remained outstanding as of June 30, 2026. Any remaining effects of prior fair value adjustments and financing costs associated with the notes were recognized in the statement of operations upon repayment.
For the periods presented, the Company recognized changes in the fair value of the convertible notes, including amounts attributable to instrument-specific credit risk. The fair value of the convertible notes was subject to significant estimation uncertainty, and changes in key assumptions could have resulted in material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations.
For more information, refer to Note 9 and Note 10.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility is established, costs incurred in the development of the product are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.
Capitalized software costs are amortized over the estimated economic life of the related product, which generally ranges from five to seven years, using the greater of (i) the ratio of current period revenues to the total of current and anticipated future revenues for the product or (ii) the straight-line method. The Company evaluates capitalized software costs for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company analyzed these leases and determined that these agreements meet the definition of a lease under ASU 842, Leases, as it provides management with the exclusive right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the identified leased asset, which is the office space and showroom. Management also analyzed the terms of these arrangements and concluded they should be classified as an operating lease, as none of the criteria were met for finance lease classification. As there was only one identified asset, no allocation of the lease payments was deemed necessary. Management did not incur any initial direct costs associated with this lease. Per review of the lease agreements, there is no implicit rate stated. Therefore, the Company determined the present value of the future minimum lease payments based on the incremental borrowing rate of the Company. The incremental borrowing rate was determined to be

Right of use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease right of use asset also includes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms include an option to extend or terminate the lease and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option to extend. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In determining the discount rate to use in calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company estimates the rate of interest it would pay on a collateralized loan with the same payment terms as the lease by utilizing bond yields traded in the secondary market to determine the estimated cost of funds for the particular tenor.

VENHUB GLOBAL, INC.’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” “VenHub,” refers to VenHub Global, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with VenHub’s consolidated financial statements, which VenHub has prepared in accordance with GAAP, included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. VenHub’s actual results and timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Overview
Business Model
VenHub Global, Inc. is a fully autonomous and robotic-operated store that utilizes advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and smart inventory management systems to offer a seamless shopping experience for customers. The Company intends VenHub technology to combine the convenience of a store with the efficiency of robotics. This will be achieved by providing customers with a unique shopping experience that will be fully autonomous and that operates 24/7. The Company believes that with its use of advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and robotics, VenHub is designed to ensure that customers will always have access to products with a few taps on their smartphones. From scanning and purchasing products to bagging and delivering them, VenHub’s robots will be able to take care of everything in a seamless and efficient manner. The store’s artificial intelligence algorithm will be able to keep track of customer preferences, allowing it to tailor its offering to meet individual customer’s tastes and preferences.
The Company has four subsidiaries:
VenHub, LLC to manage manufacturing, assembly and installation of units.
VenHub, Services LLC to provide software-as-a-service (SaaS) and ongoing maintenance services.
VenHub IP, LLC to hold and manage the Company’s intellectual property.
VenHub Stores LLC, to manage all Company owned stores.
On January 30, 2026, the Company commenced trading under the ticker symbol “VHUB” on the NASDAQ Global Market.
The Company currently has twenty seven full time employees and over 20 independent contractors. The Company will be converting the rest of the independent contractors to full time employees throughout the rest of 2026 using a Professional Employment Organization “PEO”.
By reducing the need for employees, VenHub offers store owners labor cost savings, paving the way for potential increased profits. Leveraging sensors, artificial intelligence, and robotics, VenHub promises a shopping adventure that is not only seamless but also deeply personal. With a tap of a smartphone, and let VenHub’s robots whisk you through a journey, from scanning and purchasing products to bagging and delivering them with planned precision.
As described in “Business of VenHub and Certain Information About VenHub,” the Company’s Smart Stores are delivered as fully functional physical autonomous retail units capable of performing core physical and mechanical robotic operations using embedded software installed at deployment. SaaS activation is not required for the Smart Store to perform these core physical functions and is addressed separately pursuant to distinct SaaS agreements as the Company transitions to scaled commercial operations.
The Company is in the initial deployment phase of its Smart Store platform. While customer agreements contemplate that purchasers will subscribe to the Company’s cloud-based SaaS platform, the enhanced SaaS functionality has not yet been activated for customer use. For early deployments, the Company has implemented an introductory concession under which SaaS subscription fees may be waived for up to twelve months. Accordingly, no SaaS revenue has been recognized to date.
2
As of the date of this filing, none of the Company’s deployed Smart Stores have software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) functionality activated, and the Company does not currently provide analytics, dashboards, reporting tools, or other operator-facing software to store owners or operators. Any mobile application functionality is limited to consumer product browsing, ordering, and checkout, is provided free of charge to customers, and is not part of the Company’s SaaS platform. The Company expects to introduce customer-accessible and operator-accessible SaaS functionality in future Smart Store versions under separate commercial terms.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has deployed five (5) Smart Stores, and none of these stores have SaaS functionality activated. Accordingly, five of five (5 of 5), or 100%, of the Company’s deployed Smart Stores are currently operating without SaaS activation.
The VenHub was first displayed publicly on October 25, 2023, in Pasadena at the unveiling of its Alpha Smart Store with approximately 150 attendees.
The Company has since launched a full assembly production facility in Las Vegas, Nevada to meet the market demand.
At the core of VenHub will be an intelligent algorithm that understands your unique preferences, by tracking customer tastes and curating a selection that caters specifically to the customer.
VenHub aims to revolutionize the way people shop for their daily necessities, its vision is to create a world where shopping is effortless, convenient and accessible.
The Company sold its first two stores in the first quarter of 2025, with locations in North Hollywood, and Glendale, California respectively. In the second quarter VenHub opened its Company owned flagship store at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) In the third quarter the Company sold a store which opened in Hollywood, CA. VenHub deployed a Company owned store at Union Station Los Angeles during the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Company’s strategy is focused on scaling production and developing recurring revenue streams through SaaS and maintenance services, which are expected to be monetized in future periods.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our Company has limited operating history. The Company was formed as a corporation in 2023. We have limited established business operations, and it is currently unclear, if any, of our current and intended plans may come into fruition and, if they do, which ones will be a success. To date, the Company has incurred net losses and has generated limited revenue. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be able to establish successful business operations, become profitable or generate sufficient revenues to operate our business or pay dividends.
Defects, failures or security breaches in and inadequate upgrades of, or changes to, our vending machines and its accompanying software could harm our business. The operation of our business depends on sophisticated software, hardware, computer networking and communication services that may contain undetected errors or may be subject to failures or complications. These errors, failures or complications may arise particularly when new, changed or enhanced products or services are added. Future upgrades, improvements or changes that may be necessary to expand and maintain our business could result in delays or disruptions or may not be timely or appropriately made, any of which could seriously harm our operations. Further, certain aspects of the operating systems relating to our business are provided by third parties, including telecommunications. Accordingly, the effectiveness of these operating systems is, to a certain degree, dependent on the actions and decisions of third parties over whom we may have limited control.
The Company depends on key personnel and faces challenges recruiting needed personnel. The Company’s future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel. In addition, due to its limited financial resources and the specialized expertise required, it may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for its business needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel the Company requires to operate and be innovative.
Revenue
Our revenue to date has been derived primarily from the sale of Smart Stores and product sales in our Company owned stores. Revenue from Smart Store sales is recognized when control of the unit transfers to the customer, generally upon delivery. The revenue from product sales (items sold through the VenHub store) is recognized when control of the product transfers to the end customer, which generally occurs at the point of sale when the customer completes the transaction and the product is dispensed from the Smart Store.
3
For our initial Smart Store deployments, the Company has granted a temporary commercial waiver of SaaS consideration for up to twelve (12) months for initial deployments. During this period, the Company does not provide the enhanced cloud-based functionality contemplated by the agreement. This introductory waiver applies only to SaaS services. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into SaaS agreements in connection with the North Hollywood and Glendale Smart Stores. While these agreements were executed, the transaction price allocated to SaaS was zero because the Company elected not to provide such services as part of its early commercialization strategy.
As a result, no revenue related to SaaS or maintenance services has been recognized for the periods presented. When implemented, SaaS revenue will be recognized ratably over the subscription term, typically one year, and maintenance revenue will be recognized over the contract period. We believe these services will represent a growing and recurring component of our revenue model in future periods.
Introductory SaaS Concession
To support early customer adoption and refine the performance of initial deployments, the Company implemented an introductory concession under which customers receive up to twelve months of SaaS access at no charge. During this period, the enhanced cloud-based SaaS functionality has not been activated, and therefore no SaaS revenue has been recognized. The introductory waiver applies only to SaaS services. Because SaaS subscription fees are waived during the introductory period, the transaction price allocated to SaaS is $0 for the periods presented, and all consideration is allocated to the Smart Store hardware in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-28. Maintenance services must be contracted separately and were not contracted for in the periods presented.
The Company evaluated its revenue arrangements in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-19 through 25-22 and determined that Smart Store hardware, SaaS services, and maintenance services are separate performance obligations. The Smart Store is fully functional upon delivery without SaaS activation, the SaaS platform does not significantly modify or customize the hardware, and the promises are not highly interdependent or interrelated. As a result, Smart Store revenue is recognized at a point in time, while SaaS and maintenance revenues, once activated or contracted, will be recognized over time. For product sales, revenue is typically recognized at the point in time when control is transferred, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the contract.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has sold three stores and is operating two Company owned stores which were operational on June 6, 2025 and November 4, 2025. Since its inception, the Company has experienced recurring losses and, as of June 30, 2026, reported an accumulated deficit of $109,267,588 and negative cash flows from operating activities for the six months then ended. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to fund its operations primarily through additional capital raising activities, including equity and debt financing and investments from existing and new investors. As the Company continues to commercialize its Smart Stores, it also expects to generate revenue from direct Smart Store sales and, over time, recurring SaaS and related service revenue. The Company expects its reliance on external financing to decrease as revenue from Smart Store sales and recurring services increases. However, the Company has not recognized Smart Store sales revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and there can be no assurance that anticipated Smart Store sales, SaaS revenue, or additional financing will occur on the timing or in the amounts necessary to fund operations. If the Company cannot secure sufficient additional capital or generate sufficient revenue, it may be required to reduce or cease operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with the Company’s product based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable, and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development.
4
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts (“ASC 606”) using the 5 step process:
| 1) | Identify the contract with a customer. |
| 2) | Identify the performance obligations in the contract. |
| 3) | Determine the transaction price. |
| 4) | Allocate the transaction price. |
| 5) | Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company’s primary sources of revenue are from the sale of Smart Stores, product sales at the Company owned stores and, once fully commercialized, recurring subscription fees for its SaaS platform and related maintenance and support services.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists primarily of robotics systems, store structures, and related technology infrastructure. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $1,343,264 of property and equipment, net. The Company had $1,275,078 of property and equipment, net at December 31, 2025.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, which the Company estimates is 5-7 years. The Company’s property and equipment is comprised of machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements whose useful life is the lesser of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized as equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. The Company had no impairment as of June 30, 2026.
The Company capitalizes the costs of constructing and preparing company-owned retail stores and display centers for their intended use. Capitalized costs include expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, and development of store locations, such as leasehold improvements, construction costs, architectural and design fees, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Internal payroll and related costs that are directly associated with store development activities are also capitalized.
Once a store or display is placed into service, the assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from five to seven years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and over the shorter of the useful life or lease term for leasehold improvements. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
If indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates company-owned stores or display centers for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the store assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated. If the carrying value exceeds expected cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds fair value.
5
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes as compensation expense all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and consultants including grants of stock, stock options and warrants, based on estimated fair values. Fair value is generally determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized over the service period.

| Total Operating Expenses | $ | 9,970,929 | $ | 1,899,146 | $ | 8,071,783 | ||||||
Operating expenses increased $8.1 million, or 425.0%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher non-cash share-based compensation expense, which increased $6.8 million, or 2,230.0%, reflecting equity awards granted to employees, executives, directors and service providers during the quarter as part of the Company's long-term compensation strategy.
Excluding share-based compensation, operating expenses increased $1.3 million, primarily reflecting continued investment in personnel, engineering, manufacturing, technology development and public company infrastructure to support the Company's continued growth and commercialization efforts.
Contractor expense increased $370,636, or 118.6%, primarily due to expanded engineering, software development, manufacturing support and operational consulting services required to support continued product development and Smart Store deployment activities.
Research and development expense increased $51,587, or 39.4%, reflecting continued investment in Smart Store technology, software enhancements, automation systems and product development initiatives.
Compensation expense increased $165,000, or 52.0%, reflecting higher executive compensation accruals during the quarter, while wage expense of $294,353 reflects the continued expansion of the Company's employee workforce to support manufacturing, engineering and corporate operations.
Insurance expense increased $129,247 due to expanded insurance coverage associated with the Company's growing operations and public company requirements. Regulatory and compliance expense of $94,125 was incurred during the current period as the Company continued to invest in SEC reporting, Nasdaq compliance and corporate governance.
Facilities lease and rent expense increased $70,842, transportation expense increased $59,295, legal and professional expense increased $49,930, depreciation expense increased $37,722, and utilities expense increased $13,829, reflecting the Company's continued investment in manufacturing capacity, technology infrastructure and operational expansion.
Advertising expense decreased $78,947, or 30.0%, primarily because the prior-year period included significant crowdfunding and investor awareness campaigns that did not recur during the current quarter.
Other operating expenses increased $79,220, or 96.6%, primarily due to higher payroll-related costs, repairs and maintenance, office expenses and other administrative costs incurred to support the Company's expanding operations.
Other expense decreased to $306,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $18,637,279 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $18,330,970, or approximately 98.4%.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of the significant $18.5 million settlement expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which related to the resolution of legacy legal and financing matters and did not recur in the current-year period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, other expense consisted primarily of $269,000 of settlement expense associated with current-period matters and $578,062 of interest expense offset by $540,753 of change in fair value of convertible debt.
7
The significant reduction in other expense reflects the non-recurring nature of the large settlement recorded in the prior-year period and resulted in substantially lower non-operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. While operating expenses increased year over year, primarily due to non-cash share-based compensation and continued investment in the Company’s growth initiatives, the substantial reduction in settlement expense resulted in an overall improvement in net loss compared to the prior-year period.

Revenues and cost of goods sold
The following table summarizes our revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Increase (Decrease) | ||||||||||

Sales decreased $359,165, or 69.9%, to $154,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $513,615 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to only product sales from the Company owned smart stores in 2026, and no revenue from smart store sales.
Cost of goods sold increased $33,174, or 10.0%, to $363,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $330,217 for the same period in 2025. The increase primarily reflects the obsolete inventory write off of $232,134.
Gross loss was $208,941 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to gross profit of $183,398 for the same period in 2025. Gross margin was (135.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 35.7% for the same period in 2025. The decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes combined with higher direct operating costs incurred to support the Company's company-owned Smart Store operations and the obsolete inventory. As the Company continues to expand its commercial footprint, management expects gross margins to improve as revenues increase and fixed operating costs are leveraged over a larger sales base.
The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Operating expenses increased $3.2 million, or 28.2%, to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to continued investment in personnel, engineering, manufacturing, technology development and public company infrastructure to support the Company's continued growth and commercialization efforts.
Share-based compensation expense increased $453,089, or 5.7%, reflecting equity awards granted to employees, executives, directors and service providers during the period as part of the Company's long-term compensation strategy.
8
Excluding share-based compensation, operating expenses increased $2.7 million, primarily reflecting increased investments in personnel, manufacturing, engineering, commercialization activities and public company infrastructure.
Contractor expense increased $629,565, or 80.9%, primarily due to expanded engineering, software development, manufacturing support and operational consulting services required to support continued product development and Smart Store deployment activities.
Advertising expense increased $421,006, or 104.1%, reflecting increased marketing initiatives, customer acquisition efforts, brand awareness campaigns and promotional activities during the period.
Compensation expense increased $330,000, or 52.0%, reflecting higher executive compensation accruals during the period, while wage expense of $318,103 reflects the continued expansion of the Company's employee workforce to support manufacturing, engineering and corporate operations.
Travel expense increased $292,829, or 159.6%, primarily due to increased business development, customer meetings, manufacturing activities and corporate travel associated with the Company's expanding operations.
Insurance expense increased $205,261 due to expanded insurance coverage associated with the Company's growing operations and public company requirements. Regulatory and compliance expense of $188,250 was incurred during the current period as the Company continued to invest in SEC reporting, Nasdaq compliance and corporate governance.
Facilities lease and rent expense increased $139,039, legal and professional expense increased $87,478, depreciation expense increased $71,797, and utilities expense increased $34,560, reflecting the Company's continued investment in manufacturing capacity, technology infrastructure and operational expansion.
Research and development expense decreased $161,053, or 37.2%, primarily due to the completion of certain engineering and product development initiatives during the prior-year period and a shift in resources toward commercialization and deployment activities.
Other operating expenses increased $169,326, or 122.3%, primarily due to higher payroll-related costs, repairs and maintenance, office expenses and other administrative costs incurred to support the Company's expanding operations.
Other expense decreased to $12,455,853 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $18,806,877 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $6,351,024, or approximately 33.8%.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of the significant $18.5 million settlement expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which related to the resolution of legacy legal and financing matters and did not recur in the current-year period. This decrease was partially offset by a significant increase in interest expense, which rose to $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $228,033 in the prior-year period, primarily due to interest recognized on the Company's financing arrangements. In addition, the Company recognized a $391,442 loss from the change in the fair value of its convertible note liability during the current-year period, compared to $65,414 in the prior-year period. The Company also recorded $269,000 of settlement expense during the current-year period related to current-period matters.
Overall, the reduction in other expense reflects the non-recurring nature of the substantial settlement charge recognized in the prior-year period, partially offset by higher financing costs associated with the Company's capital structure during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. While operating expenses increased year over year, primarily due to continued investment in the Company’s growth initiatives, including higher contractor, advertising, personnel and public company operating costs, as well as non-cash share-based compensation, the significant reduction in settlement expense partially offset by higher interest expense resulted in an overall improvement in net loss compared to the prior-year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025
We used $1,552,968 of cash in operating activities which was primarily attributable to our net loss from continuing operations of $29,878,514 including $18,513,430 in settlement expense, $7,913,639 in share based compensation, $1,749,000 in deferred revenue, $685,072 of change in operating right of use liability, $404,000 in accrued payroll and compensation, $200,689 in interest payable, $65,414 of unrealized loss on convertible debt, $40,100 in sales tax payable, $27,952 in depreciation expense, offset by $741,398 of change in operating right of use asset, $179,095 in inventory, $150,272 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $88,704 in deferred offering cost, $59,281 in prepaid expenses and $55,000 in security deposits.
We used $483,154 in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 relating to the assembly of both our LAX Metro flagship company owned store and our National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) display store.
We generated $4,371,050 of cash from financing activities consisting of $3,500,000 in proceeds from warrant issuance, crowdfunding, $650,000 proceeds from convertible debt and $221,050 in proceeds from crowdfunding.
The Company currently expects external financing to remain its primary source of liquidity in the near term. Management is pursuing additional capital through equity and debt financing, including investments from existing and new investors. As commercialization progresses, the Company expects direct Smart Store sales and recurring SaaS and related service revenue to become increasingly significant sources of liquidity. The Company's ability to reduce its reliance on external financing will depend on the timing and level of Smart Store sales, deployment activity and the commercialization of its recurring revenue offerings.
Future Outlook
We have historically funded our operations and development activities primarily through debt and equity financing and, to a lesser extent, crowdfunding initiatives. In the near term, we expect to continue to rely primarily on capital raising activities to fund operations and execute our commercialization strategy. We are pursuing additional equity and debt financing from existing and new investors.
As our commercialization efforts progress, we expect our sources of liquidity to evolve. We anticipate that direct Smart Store sales will become an increasingly important source of operating cash flow, followed by recurring SaaS, maintenance and related service revenue as our installed customer base grows. If these revenue streams develop as anticipated, we expect our relative reliance on external capital raising to decrease over time. However, the timing and amount of these revenues remain uncertain, and we expect to require additional external financing until operating cash flows are sufficient to support our operations.
10
We expect this trend to continue in connection with our planned direct listing. The planned equity raise is reasonably likely to materially change the mix of our capital resources by decreasing reliance on debt facilities and enhancing our equity capitalization. We also anticipate that the relative cost of capital will improve, as equity financing is expected to provide greater flexibility and reduce interest expense obligations compared to prior debt arrangements.
While we may opportunistically evaluate additional credit facilities in the future, we do not currently anticipate significant off-balance-sheet financing arrangements or other alternative funding mechanisms that would materially alter our capital resource profile.
In October 2025, we entered into new employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and our President, effective upon the effectiveness of this registration statement. These agreements include annual base salaries, potential cash bonuses, and equity-based awards tied to geographic expansion and performance milestones. While the agreements contemplate potential annual cash bonuses of up to $3.2 million in the aggregate, such bonuses are contingent on the availability of legally distributable funds as defined under NRS 78.288, Board approval, and may be deferred or accrued until sufficient resources are available in compliance with Nevada law. Accordingly, we have not accrued any amounts for such bonuses to date.
If payable in full, these cash bonuses could increase our annual compensation expense and impact our liquidity. However, because payment is conditional and may be deferred, the timing and extent of this impact cannot be predicted with certainty.
We expect operating expenses to increase in future periods as we expand deployments of our autonomous Smart Stores, invest in further product development, and build out the organizational infrastructure required to support a scaled commercial business. In particular, we anticipate growth in payroll and compensation, research and development, and marketing expenses, partially offset by reduced reliance on share-based compensation compared to prior years. We may also incur increased legal and professional expenses in connection with our financing activities and as a result of our obligations as a public company.
In addition, the equity award provisions in these agreements could result in the issuance of significant additional shares in the event that geographic expansion or performance milestones are achieved, which could result in dilution to existing stockholders.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $2,563,439 in cash. We expect our operating cash requirements, capital expenditures, and contractual obligations including $929,565 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $205,680 in lease payments, $72,366 in interest payable and $2,500,000 estimated in contractor and production payments will total $3,707,611 over the next 12 months. Based on our current cash position and forecasted operating cash outflows, we will not have sufficient cash to fund these requirements. We are pursuing additional financing through equity and debt issuances to fuel long term growth in meeting the demand for our stores. Longer term, we anticipate ongoing funding needs to support growth and expansion.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
11
As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of March 31, 2026, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have sufficient and fully memorialized written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for March 31, 2026. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have personnel with sufficient experience with United States generally accepted accounting principles to address complex transactions.
4. We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non–financial personnel and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.
5. We have determined that oversight over our external financial reporting and internal control over our financial reporting is ineffective. The Chief Financial Officer has not provided adequate review of the Company’s SEC’s filings and financial statements and has not provided adequate supervision and review of the Company’s accounting personnel or oversight of the independent registered accounting firm’s audit of the Company’s financial statement.
We have and continue to take steps to remediate some of the weaknesses described above, including by engaging a financial reporting advisor with expertise in accounting for complex transactions. We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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 become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item. However, please refer to our Form 10-K as filed with and accepted by the SEC on March 23, 2024, to see those Risk Factors listed therein.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During the period from April 11, 2026, through June 30, 2026 (the “Reporting Period”), we issued the following unregistered securities. Unless otherwise indicated, share amounts are presented on an as-issued basis.
Issuances for Services Rendered (Section 4(a)(2))
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we issued an aggregate of 5,335,000 shares of our common stock to consultants and other service providers as consideration for bona fide services. The shares were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
The resale of certain of these shares was subsequently registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, which became effective on July 10, 2026.
Additional Information Applicable to All Unregistered Sales
Except as described above, no underwriters were involved in the foregoing transactions, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid by us (other than any ordinary 506(b) placement-agent compensation, if applicable, which would be disclosed in our financial statements or a subsequent amendment). The foregoing offers and sales were made without registration under the Securities Act, and the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. We believe the above transactions were exempt from registration as noted, did not involve a public offering, and were conducted in compliance with applicable state securities (“blue sky”) laws.
