(“Stingray Group”), pursuant to which Stingray USA purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed most of the liabilities, associated with our Singing Machine business for $500,000. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025.
Streeterville Capital Transaction
On August 21, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to Streeterville shares of our common stock in one or more pre-paid purchases (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase” and collectively, the “Pre-Paid Purchases”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $20,000,000 (the “Streeterville Transaction”). We also agreed to issue an additional 95,694 shares of our common stock to Streeterville as a commitment fee for the pre-paid purchase facility established under the securities purchase agreement (the “Commitment Shares”). The securities purchase agreement provides for a two-year commitment period during which, subject to certain specified conditions, we may request additional Pre-Paid Purchases from Streeterville provided that the amount requested is no less than $250,000 and the total outstanding balance of all Pre-Paid Purchases does not exceed $3,000,000. The original issue discount for each additional Pre-Paid Purchase will be nine percent of the amount set forth in the applicable request and each additional Pre-Paid Purchase will accrue interest at the rate of nine percent per annum. We also executed a guaranty, a security agreement, and intellectual property security agreement in favor of Streeterville as part of the Streeterville Transaction. The Streeterville Transaction closed on August 21, 2025.
Following the funding of each Pre-Paid Purchase, Streeterville has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from us that number of shares of common stock up to the lesser of: (i) a number of shares of common stock equal in value to the outstanding balance of the funded amount, and (ii) that number of shares of common stock such that Streeterville will not beneficially own greater than 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the 10 trading days immediately prior to the purchase notice date, but not less than the floor price, which is the greater of: (i) 20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) prior to the applicable closing of the Pre-Paid Purchase, and (ii) $0.10.
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act with the SEC to register the resale of the Commitment Shares and all shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchases. The registration statement became effective on November 10, 2025.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) provides that shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of our common stock equal or greater in number to 20% of the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the proposed issuance at a price that is less than the “Minimum Price” as such term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) in a transaction that is not a public offering. We obtained the requisite shareholder approval for the Streeterville Transaction on November 20, 2025.
| 4 |
We may at any time prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of a Pre-Paid Purchase. In the event we elect to do so, we must pay Streeterville an amount equal to 110% multiplied by the portion of the outstanding balance we elected to prepay. If an event of default occurs under a Pre-Paid Purchase, the outstanding balance will become immediately due and payable. At anytime thereafter, upon written notice given by Streeterville, the outstanding balance will increase by seven-and-a half percent and interest will begin accruing at a rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Our obligations are secured by all of our assets pursuant to a security agreement and have been guaranteed by our operating subsidiaries pursuant to a guarantee, each entered into with Streeterville on August 21, 2025.
Univest Securities, LLC served as the placement agent in the offering (“Univest”). We agreed to pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that we receive from any Pre-Paid Purchases that we complete and reimburse Univest for legal fees in the amount of $40,000.
Pre-Paid Purchase #1
The securities purchase agreement provides for an initial Secured Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $4,390,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $360,000 and transaction expenses of $30,000 (the “First Pre-Paid Purchase”), the terms of which are set forth on secured prepaid purchase #1 (“Pre-Paid Purchase #1”). The First Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent per annum and has a maturity date of three years. We paid Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that we received from the First Pre-Paid Purchase. We currently have principal in the amount of approximately $1,085,000 outstanding under the First Pre-Paid Purchase.
Pre-Paid Purchase #2
On November 13, 2025, we entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #2 with Streeterville (“Pre-Paid Purchase #2”). Pre-Paid Purchase #2 provides for a second Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $5,450,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $450,000 (the “Second Pre-Paid Purchase”). The Second Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent per annum and has a maturity date of three years.
The Second Pre-Paid Purchase was similar to the First Pre-Paid Purchase, however the Second Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of: (i) $4,500,000, and (ii) 90% of the then-current outstanding balance of the Second Pre-Paid Purchase (the “PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount”). The secured funds are being held in a deposit account (the “DACA Account”) held by RIME Holdings, LLC, a Utah limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours that we formed in connection with this transaction (“RIME Holdings”), pursuant to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, dated November 13, 2025, by and among RIME Holdings, Lakeside Bank, an Illinois banking company (“Lakeside Bank”), and Streeterville. Accordingly, of the $5,000,000 proceeds that we received from the Second Pre-Paid Purchase, $4,500,000 were placed in the DACA Account.
| 5 |
We have the right to use funds in the DACA Account to repay any portion of the outstanding balance of the Second Pre-Paid Purchase, but only so long as the payment does not cause the outstanding balance to drop below the PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount. As long as no event of default has occurred, the Company may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the PPP2 Minimum Balance Amount. RIME Holdings executed a guaranty of the obligations outstanding under the Second Pre-Paid Purchase for the benefit of Streeterville.
We entered into a new placement agency agreement with Univest that superseded the placement agency agreement that we previously entered into with them on August 21, 2025. We agreed to pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that we receive from any Pre-Paid Purchases that we complete and reimburse Univest for legal fees in the amount of $50,000. The Second Pre-Paid Purchase was repaid in full on December 11, 2025.
Pre-Paid Purchase #3
On December 19, 2025, we entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #3 with Streeterville (“Pre-Paid Purchase #3”). Pre-Paid Purchase #3 provides for a third Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $1,090,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $90,000 (the “Third Pre-Paid Purchase”). The Third Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent per annum and has a maturity date of three years. We paid Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds that we received from the Third Pre-Paid Purchase. The Third Pre-Paid Purchase was repaid in full on December 23, 2025.
Pre-Paid Purchase #4
On February 17, 2026, we entered into Secured Pre-Paid Purchase #4 with Streeterville (“Pre-Paid Purchase #4”). Pre-Paid Purchase #4 provides for a fourth Pre-Paid Purchase in the principal amount of $10,355,000, before deducting an original issue discount of $855,000 (the “Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase”). The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase accrues interest at the rate of nine percent per annum and has a maturity date of three years. The Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is similar to the Second Pre-Paid Purchase in that the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase is secured by cash in an amount not less than the lesser of: (i) $3,500,000, and (ii) 90% of the then-current outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase (the “PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount”). Accordingly, of the $9,500,000 in proceeds that we received from the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, $3,500,000 was placed in the DACA Account.
We have the right to use funds in the DACA Account to repay any portion of the outstanding balance of the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, but only so long as the payment does not cause the outstanding balance to drop below the PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount. As long as no event of default has occurred, we may withdraw from the Deposit Account any funds in excess of the PPP4 Minimum Balance Amount. RIME Holdings executed a guaranty of the obligations outstanding under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase for the benefit of Streeterville.
| 6 |
We paid Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the aggregate gross proceeds received by us from the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase that were not placed in the DACA Account. We will pay Univest a cash fee equal to eight percent of the funds held in the DACA Account when they are released to us.
We have not repaid any of the principal outstanding under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase.
Our SemiCab Technology Platform
Traditional logistics platforms and systems optimize visible demand by optimizing individual lanes within the logistics network. Freight planning, execution, and exception management rely heavily on manual workflows and fragmented systems. As volumes increase, costs typically scale linearly with headcount, limiting profitability and operational flexibility.
Our SemiCab technology platform is an AI-enabled, cloud-based collaborative transportation platform that operates at the network level. It achieves the scalability required to predict and optimize millions of loads and hundreds of thousands of trucks. It uses real-time data from application programming interface (“API”)-based load tendering and pre-built integrations with transportation management system (“TMS”) partners, warehouse management system (“WMS”) partners, and electronic logging device (“ELD”) partners to orchestrate collaboration across manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and their carriers. It uses AI and machine learning predictions and advanced predictive optimization models to enable fully loaded round trips. By pooling demand and supply across shippers, regions, and timeframes, the platform identifies return legs and cross-lane flows that are invisible under conventional planning models. This approach enables structural efficiency improvements rather than episodic or temporary gains.
The platform directly supports stronger unit economics and capital efficiency for our customers. It has successfully enabled individual operators to manage more than 2,000 loads annually. As volumes increase, our customers benefit from lower cost per load, greater asset utilization, lower administrative overhead and more predictable service levels. By automating network-level decision-making, the platform allows organizations to scale throughput without proportional increases in labor, infrastructure, or overhead.
We are focused on expanding and enhancing our SemiCab technology platform to provide better transportation services to our customers as well as to automate operational processes. The objective of these additions and enhancements is to build additional functionality and improve or automate existing functions. This will make us more efficient, lower our costs of operation, enable us to provide more consistent and reliable services, and reduce potential human error in our processes targeting transportation execution and billing.
We employ a dedicated software development team that maintains and enhances our SemiCab technology platform.
Our Service Offering
Our service offering consists of contract-based, long-haul, full truckload transportation logistics and distribution services that utilize our SemiCab technology platform. We currently provide our services in India and are actively marketing our services in the United States and Europe.
| 7 |
Managed Services
In India, we offer our services through a managed services model to retailers, suppliers and manufacturers and other shippers through our own network of shippers and brokers. We primarily focus on full truck load and over-the-road transportation services. Our services are sold directly to shippers via bids for transportation services. These bids are typically awarded for a selected number of routes for a pre-determined period of time, normally up to a year.
SaaS-Based Services
In the U.S. and other countries, we offer our services through a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) model called “Apex” by selling subscriptions to shippers, carriers and third-party logistics providers (“3PLs”) to utilize our SemiCab technology platform. Our software enables shippers and carriers to better manage their freight network by creating optimal lane bundles for bidding and optimized execution of loads with better control over their data and analytics. Our software enables 3PLs to better manage their operations for transportation execution by assisting them with shipper management, carrier management, document management, load operations management, invoicing, integration services, and reporting and analytics.
Apex optimizes both visible and predicted demand across the entire freight ecosystem, completely redefining the efficiencies that can be achieved within a logistics network. Through Apex, shippers, carriers and 3PLs can:
| ● | launch their own branded logistics operating systems, embedding SemiCab’s AI logic, dashboards, and APIs; | |
| ● | create multi-party freight networks that reduce empty miles and unlock shared efficiencies; | |
| ● | integrate seamlessly with existing TMS, WMS, and telematics systems through open APIs; and | |
| ● | use predictive analytics and benchmarking to identify cost savings and improve yield per lane. |
Our SemiCab technology platform enhances traditional logistics platforms by providing them with predictive, self-learning orchestration that automates network coordination at scale. It continuously learns from network activity, dynamically adjusting routing, pooling, and capacity allocation in real time.
Sales and Marketing
Our SemiCab logistics and distribution services are sold through our direct sales team who work with shippers, participate in preparing and submitting transportation bids, and onboard shippers and customers to start operations. While the transportation services contracts are signed for longer durations, generally up to a year, revenue from these services is recognized only after the loads from shippers are executed and delivered by us. Our platform subscriptions are sold through a direct sales team. Sales are recognized on a rolling monthly basis aligned with SaaS revenue models. We engage in only limited marketing and promotions at this time as we are primarily focused on creating name recognition and visibility through appropriate social media channels, blogs, and press releases to share industry awards and customer acquisition news.
| 8 |
Customers
Our customers are comprised primarily of large, fast-moving consumer products companies in India. Our target customers in the United States and Europe are comprised primarily of 3PLs and carriers and shippers of consumer products.
Competition
The transportation services industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete with traditional and non-traditional logistics companies, including transportation providers that own equipment, third-party freight brokers, technology matching services, internet freight brokers, carriers offering logistics services, and on-demand transportation service providers. We win business by providing reliable services at lower costs and creating an industry-wide network that can operate more efficiently with less empty miles than the industry norm, thus creating a more sustainable transportation network for the entire industry.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of cybersecurity, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and nondisclosure and non-competition agreements to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology. In certain circumstances, we will partner with third parties to develop proprietary technology, and, where appropriate, we have license agreements related to the use of third-party innovation in our technology. The duration of our trademark registrations varies from country to country. However, trademarks are generally valid and may be renewed indefinitely as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained.
Seasonality
Our operating results have been subject to seasonal trends as a result of, or as influenced by, numerous factors, including national holidays, weather patterns, consumer demand, economic conditions, and other similar and subtle forces. Although seasonal changes in the transportation industry have not had a significant impact on our cash flow or results of operations, we cannot guarantee that they will not adversely impact us in the future.
Regulatory Matters
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is the primary regulator for the road transport and automotive industry in India, overseeing policy, regulations, and standards in that country. The U.S. Department of Transportation regulates the transportation industry in the United States. This federal agency mandates licensing, insurance and service requirements on the operators in this industry.
| 9 |
We are also subject to laws and regulations in the United States and India concerning the handling of personal information, including laws that require us to notify governmental authorities and/or affected individuals of data breaches involving certain personal information.
Additionally, as a publicly-traded company and issuer of stock, we are subject to and maintain compliance with various anti-corruption and anti-bribery statutes such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We may in the future be subject to certain other foreign countries’ equivalent statutes or programs in the countries in which we operate.
Employees
As of March 27, 2026, we had a total of 49 employees, of which 46 were full-time employees and three were part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit or is a party to a collective bargaining agreement.

Risks Related to the Streeterville Transaction
| ● | The sale of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by Streeterville and/or by our existing security holders could cause the price of our common stock to fall. | |
| ● | Shares of our common stock purchased by Streeterville may be issued at a price significantly below the prevailing market price of our common stock, resulting in substantial dilution of existing stockholders and a decrease in the price of our common stock. | |
| ● | We may be required to make substantial cash payments to Streeterville, which could reduce the amount of cash available to fund our operations. |
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
| ● | We may raise additional funds in the future through the issuance of equity securities or debt, which funding may be dilutive to stockholders or impose operational restrictions on us. | |
| ● | The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. | |
| ● | Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate due to increases and decreases in sales and other factors. | |
| ● | Our common stock may be affected by price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock. | |
| ● | FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our securities. | |
| ● | An investment in our securities is speculative, and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment. | |
| ● | We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during the assessment of our internal control that we performed in connection with the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements included herein. | |
| ● | If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results on a timely basis or prevent fraud. | |
| ● | The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members. | |
| ● | If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, it could delist us, which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock. | |
| ● | New laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty for public companies, increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming. | |
| ● | As a “smaller reporting company” under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies. | |
| ● | Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock. | |
| ● | We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. |

Risks Related to Our Company
We have a history of losses, we can provide no assurance that we will ever become profitable, and the audit report issued by M&K CPAs, PLLC in connection with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We incurred net losses available to common stockholders of $15,900,000 and $23,257,000 for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had accumulated deficits of $65,072,000 and $49,172,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, net cash used by operating activities was $7,309,000 and $3,985,000 for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based upon this, our current cash resources and our internally generated cash flow projections, the audit report issued by M&K CPAS, PLLC in connection with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future profitability is dependent upon our ability to successfully execute upon our business plan. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Accordingly, we may continue to generate losses in the future and, in the extreme case, may need to discontinue operations.
We will need to raise additional capital in the future, which capital may not be available or, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms.
Our current cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations for the next 12 months. As a result, we will need to obtain additional capital through external sources of financing. We may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of short- and long-term debt. If we raise additional funds by issuing shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in the event the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring dividends. In addition, any equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the securities held by our stockholders.
While we are optimistic about our ability to raise sufficient funds to continue our operations for at least one year after the date of this report, we have not made arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including maintenance of our listing on the Nasdaq, market conditions and our operating performance. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of any proposed future financing transactions unattractive to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, or if such capital cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, we may not be able to pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, take advantage of future acquisition opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated events, or otherwise execute upon our business plan. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and, in the extreme case, cause us to discontinue operations.
| 13 |
Our growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources.
We expect to enter a stage of rapid growth in our operations which could place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our future success will depend in part upon the ability of our management to manage growth effectively. Our existing management systems, financial and management controls, and information and reporting systems and procedures may not be adequate to support our expansion. Our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to continue to enhance these systems, controls and procedures and to locate, hire, train and retain qualified management and operating personnel. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Strategic acquisitions and other transactions that we complete in the future could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, adversely affect our operating results and dilute stockholder value.
On July 3, 2024, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of SemiCab, Inc., which was the owner of the United States component of our AI logistics and distribution business. On May 2, 2025, we and SemiCab Holdings completed the acquisition of substantially all of the issued and outstanding equity shares of SMCB and we purchased the 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings then held by SemiCab, Inc. We may continue to expand our business through the acquisition of additional businesses in the future.
To successfully execute any acquisition or development strategy, we need to identify suitable acquisition or development candidates, negotiate acceptable acquisition or development terms, obtain appropriate financing, and successfully integrate any businesses and assets acquired. Any acquisition or development transaction that we pursue, whether or not successfully completed, will subject us to numerous risks and uncertainties, including:
| ● | our ability to accurately assess the value, growth potential, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities, and potential profitability of the target businesses and assets; | |
| ● | our ability to complete the transaction and integrate the operations, technologies, services and personnel of any businesses or assets acquired; | |
| ● | the costs associated with the completion of the transaction and the integration of the businesses or assets acquired; | |
| ● | our ability to generate sufficient revenue to offset the transaction costs and achieve projected economic and operating synergies; |
| 14 |
| ● | the diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations and potential loss of key personnel; | |
| ● | the risks associated with entering new domestic markets and conducting operations where we have little or no prior experience; | |
| ● | the possible negative impact of the transaction on our reputation and the reputation of the business that we acquire; and | |
| ● | the effect of any limitations imposed by federal and state tax laws on our ability to use all or a portion of our pre-transaction net operating losses against post-transaction income. |
If we fail to properly evaluate and execute any acquisition or development transactions that we are currently pursuing or will pursue in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed. Additionally, we may be limited in our ability to evaluate such acquisitions as a result of incomplete or inaccurate information from the target businesses.
Future acquisitions may provide for additional contingent payments based on the achievement of performance targets or milestones. Management must exercise considerable discretion when estimating the fair value of contingent payments. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, the estimates could change significantly from period to period. Any changes to the significant unobservable inputs used, including a change in the forecast of net sales for the earn-out periods, may result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration, and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, actual payments of contingent consideration in the future could be different from the current estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. Further, these arrangements can impact or restrict the integration of acquired businesses and can, and frequently do, result in disputes, including litigation. Any such impact, restrictions or disputes could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
In addition, acquisition and development transactions could result in us issuing equity securities or short- or long-term debt to finance the transaction. The issuance of additional equity securities would result in dilution to our stockholders. The issuance of securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock would result in dilution to our stockholders in the event the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring dividends. In addition, any equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the securities held by our stockholders. Future acquisition and development transactions could also result in us assuming debt obligations and liabilities and incurring impairment charges related to goodwill, investments and other intangible assets.
| 15 |
We depend upon our executive officers and may not be able to retain or replace these individuals or recruit additional personnel if they leave, which could harm our business.
We believe that we have benefited substantially from the leadership and experience of our executive officers, including Gary Atkinson, who is our Chief Executive Officer, and Alex Andre, who is our Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. Our executive officers may terminate their employment with us at any time without penalty, and we do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our executive officers. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects, as we may not be able to find suitable individuals to replace such personnel on a timely basis. In addition, any such departure could be viewed in a negative light by investors and analysts, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. As our business expands, our future success will depend greatly on our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified executive-level personnel. Our inability to attract and retain qualified executive officers could impair our growth and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends on our SemiCab technology platform attaining market acceptance by transportation providers.
The continued growth in market demand for and market acceptance of our SemiCab technology platform is critical to our continued success. Demand for our SemiCab technology platform is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the extension of our SemiCab technology platform for new use cases, the timing of development and release of new products, features and functionality introduced by us or our competitors, technological change and the growth or contraction of the market in which we compete. We may be unable to effectively adapt our platform and respond to changes in technology and customer needs. If we are unable to meet customer demand, or if we otherwise fail to achieve more widespread market acceptance of our SemiCab technology platform, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects may be adversely affected.
Our failure or inability to enforce our trademarks, trade secrets and other proprietary rights could adversely affect our image, brands and competitive position.
We own U.S. registered trademarks for many of the signs, designs and expressions that identify the services that we use in our business, including “SemiCab”. We also have common law trademark rights for certain of our proprietary marks and rely upon trade secrets to protect certain of our rights. We believe that our trademarks, trade secrets and other proprietary rights have significant value and are important to our business and competitive position. We, therefore, devote time and resources to the protection of these rights. Our policy is to pursue registration of our important trademarks whenever feasible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our trademarks. We protect our trade secrets and proprietary information, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our proprietary information by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems.
We cannot assure you that the protective actions that we have taken will successfully prevent unauthorized use or imitation of our intellectual property and proprietary rights by other parties. In the event third parties unlawfully use or imitate our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we could suffer harm to our image, brands and competitive position. If we commence litigation to enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we will incur significant legal fees and may not be successful in enforcing our rights. Moreover, we cannot assure you that third parties will not claim infringement by us of their intellectual property and proprietary rights in the future. Any such claim, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming and distracting for management to defend, result in costly litigation, require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, or cause us to change existing menu items or delay the introduction of new menu items. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 16 |
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting, and defending intellectual property rights on our technology in international jurisdictions is prohibitively expensive. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained intellectual property rights to develop their own technology and, further, may export otherwise infringing technology to territories where we have intellectual property rights, but where enforcement is not as strong as that in the U.S. Their technology may compete with our technology in jurisdictions where we do not have any issued or licensed patents and our patent claims or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.
Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of any patents we may have in the future, or the use of competing technologies in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce any patent rights we may have in the future in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.
Our information technology systems or data, or those of our service providers or customers or users, could be subject to cyber-attacks or other security incidents, which could result in significant liability, reputational damage and other adverse consequences to us.
The ever-evolving threat landscape makes data security and privacy a critical priority. We maintain processes for key risk identification, mitigation efforts, and day-to-day management of risks, including cybersecurity risks. In addition, our third-party vendors have experience and expertise supporting mitigation of the potential cyber-attacks facing our organization and vulnerabilities facing our technology infrastructure and potential cyber-attacks.
Although it is difficult to determine the potential impacts from a cyber-attack or other security incident, we may experience negative impacts such as reputational harm, inability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, exposure to legal claims and government action, among others. In particular, given the interconnected nature of the supply chain and our significant presence in the industry, our AI logistics and distribution business may be an attractive target for such attacks. The impact of a cyber-attack or other security incident may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, availability of our systems, and growth prospects, which makes cybersecurity risk management of critical importance.
We have processes and programs in place to meet our global compliance obligations and work with our employees and teams across the globe to ensure security and data protection principles are integrated into the way we conduct our business. Notwithstanding this, our operations may be subject to successful breaches, employee malfeasance, or human or technological error. Any such acts could result in:
| ● | unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, or destruction of company, customer, or other third-party data or systems; |
| 17 |
| ● | theft of sensitive, regulated, or confidential data including personal information and intellectual property; | |
| ● | the loss of access to critical data or systems through ransomware, destructive attacks or other means; and | |
| ● | business delays, service or system disruptions or denials of service. |
The occurrence of any of these acts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The failure of our information technology systems could significantly disrupt the operation of our business.
We rely on information technology systems and networks as part of our business. As such, we could experience a material disruption to our operations if our internal computer systems and servers fail or suffer security breaches. The secure operation of our information technology, or IT, systems and networks as well as the secure processing and maintenance of information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Our ability to execute our business plan and to comply with regulatory requirements with respect to data control and data integrity depends, in part, on the continued and uninterrupted performance of our IT systems. These systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts and natural disasters. Moreover, despite network security and back-up measures, some of our servers are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptive problems. Despite the precautionary measures we have taken to prevent unanticipated problems that could affect our IT systems, we may experience electronic break-ins, computer viruses, sustained or repeated system failures, or problems arising during the upgrade of any of our IT systems that interrupt our ability to generate and maintain data. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on third parties for most of our management information systems and for other back-office functions.
We use third-party vendors to provide, support and maintain most of our management information systems. We also outsource certain accounting, payroll and human resource functions to third-party service providers. The parties that we utilize for these services may not be able to handle the volume of activity or perform the quality of service necessary for our operations. The failure of these parties to fulfill their support and maintenance obligations or service obligations could disrupt our operations. Furthermore, the outsourcing of certain of our business processes could negatively impact our internal control processes. Any such effects on our operations or internal controls could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to protect the integrity and security of personal information of our customers and employees could result in substantial costs, expose us to litigation and damage our reputation.
We receive and maintain certain personal information about our customers and employees. The use of this information by us is regulated at the federal and state levels. If our security and information systems are compromised or our franchisees or employees fail to comply with these laws and regulations and this information is obtained by unauthorized persons or used inappropriately, it could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations and could result in litigation against us or the imposition of fines and penalties.
Issues in the use of AI technologies in our SemiCab business may result in reputational harm or liability to us, and our business, operating results, and financial results may be adversely affected.
We actively integrate AI technologies in our SemiCab platform to enhance automation, analytics, customer experience, and operational efficiency. As we expand the use of AI-enabled capabilities, we are exposed to risks inherent in the development and deployment of emerging technologies.
AI systems may generate inaccurate, biased, incomplete, or unintended outputs due to limitations in algorithms, data quality, model design, or oversight. If AI-enabled features fail to perform as intended or are perceived as unreliable, we could experience reputational harm, customer dissatisfaction, competitive disadvantage, or legal exposure.
| 18 |
Certain AI capabilities rely on third party service providers, cloud infrastructure, or external models. Disruptions, security incidents, pricing changes, contractual restrictions, or termination of such services could impair the availability or performance of AI-enhanced features and increase our costs.
The regulatory framework governing AI, data privacy, and automated decision-making is evolving in the United States and internationally. New or expanded legal requirements may require product modifications, increased compliance expenditures, or limitations on certain AI-driven functionality.
Our AI-enabled features process sensitive customer data. Any failure to maintain appropriate safeguards, governance controls, or oversight could result in regulatory scrutiny, litigation, or reputational harm.
We have implemented governance frameworks, human oversight, security controls, and monitoring processes designed to manage risks associated with AI-enabled capabilities. However, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent errors, misuse, security incidents, or regulatory non-compliance. If our risk management efforts are ineffective, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Any significant changes in U.S. trade or other policies that block or restrict imports or increase import tariffs could have a material adverse effect on results of operations.
In recent years, the U.S. government has implemented substantial changes to U.S. trade policies, including import restrictions, increased import tariffs and changes in U.S. participation in multilateral trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to replace the former North American Free Trade Agreement. The U.S. government has assessed supplemental tariffs and quantitative restrictions on U.S. imports of certain products from numerous countries throughout the world. U.S. trade policy continues to evolve in this regard. Any significant changes in current U.S. trade or other policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs could have a material adverse effect upon results of our operations.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East and other geopolitical tensions.
U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption as a result of the escalation of geopolitical tensions and military conflicts in and around Ukraine, Israel, and other areas of the world. Although the length and impact of any potential or ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, such conflicts have led to market disruptions, including significant volatility in credit and capital markets.
For example, Russia’s military interventions in Ukraine have led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the U.S., European Union and other countries against Russia. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets.
In addition, acts of war, terrorism or political instability in oil producing countries (e.g. the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts in the Middle East, including the recent escalation involving Iran, and recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela) have resulted in increased volatility in the financial markets and the markets for certain commodities including oil, which may significantly impact the manufacturers that we rely on.
Additionally, the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the government of Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as groups in Syria and Iran, have caused disruptions in shipping lanes in the Red Sea where some major cargo lines have opted to route their vessels away from the region which has increased the time required to reach their destinations as well as increased time for vessels to return to their port of origin with empty containers. Continued shipping line disruptions and delays may impact the availability and cost of shipping containers during peak shipping season.
| 19 |
While we have not experienced any direct impact from the conflicts in and around Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere, the extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market and shipping lane disruptions are impossible to predict but could be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results as they impact the global economy in the future.
High inflation and unfavorable economic conditions could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions may be triggered by numerous developments beyond our control, including inflation, geopolitical events, health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other events that trigger economic volatility on a global or regional basis. In particular, a significant deterioration in economic conditions, including economic slowdowns or recessions, increased unemployment levels, inflationary pressures or disruptions to credit and capital markets, could lead to decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending more generally, thus reducing consumer demand for our services. Such heightened inflationary levels and economic conditions may negatively impact consumer disposable income and discretionary spending, negatively impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to the credit risk of customers who are experiencing financial difficulties and if these customers are unable to pay us, our revenue and results of operations will be adversely impacted.
We sell our services primarily to large, fast-moving consumer goods companies. Deterioration in the financial condition of our customers could result in these customers not being able to pay us for our services. This would have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operations.
We may have trouble hiring additional qualified personnel.
As we expand our technology development, service offerings and marketing activities, we will need to hire additional personnel and could experience difficulties attracting and retaining qualified employees. Competition for qualified personnel could be intense due to the limited number of individuals who possess the skills and experience required by such an industry. We may not be able to afford, attract and retain quality personnel on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, to the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that such personnel have been improperly solicited or that they have divulged proprietary or other confidential information, or that their former employers own their technology or service ideas. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 20 |
The industries in which we operate are subject to international, federal, state and local laws, compliance with which is both complex and costly.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other anti-corruption laws of the countries in which we do business. The FCPA and other anti-corruption laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We and our commercial partners operate in several jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations and we participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under the FCPA or local anti-corruption laws.
We are also subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered in the U.S. and in the EU, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions on countries and persons, customs requirements and currency exchange regulations. We cannot predict the nature, scope, or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. If we fail to comply with these laws, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We can provide no assurance that we will be in full compliance with all applicable anticorruption laws, including the FCPA or other legal requirements. Any investigation of potential violations of the FCPA or other laws and regulations by the United States, the European Union or other authorities could have an adverse impact on our reputation, our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, should we be found not to be in compliance with the FCPA or other laws and regulations, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, as well as the accompanying legal expenses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be a party to litigation that could adversely affect us by diverting management attention, increasing our expenses and subjecting us to significant monetary damages and other remedies.
We are subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Such claims may be expensive to defend against and may divert resources away from our operations, regardless of whether they are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. In the event we are found liable for any such claims, we could be required to pay substantial damages. With respect to insured claims, a judgment for monetary damages in excess of any insurance coverage that we have could result in us being required to pay substantial damages. Any adverse publicity resulting from these claims may also adversely affect our reputation, regardless of whether we are found liable. Any payments of damages or adverse publicity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 21 |
Our certificate of incorporation provides limitations on director liability and indemnification of directors and officers and employees.
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:
| ● | breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; | |
| ● | act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| ● | unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or | |
| ● | transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal benefit. |
These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and that we will advance expenses incurred by any such persons in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as officers and directors.
The limitation of liability in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. It may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation being brought against our officers and directors even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Our insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims.
We currently maintain insurance that we believe is appropriate for a business of our size and type. However, there are types of losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not economically reasonable to insure against. Such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Unanticipated changes in the actuarial assumptions and management estimates underlying our reserves for these losses could result in materially different amounts of expense under these programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 22 |
Our inability or failure to recognize, respond to and effectively manage the accelerated impact of social media could materially adversely impact our business.
There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms, including weblogs (blogs), social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. Many of our competitors are expanding their use of social media and new social medial platforms are rapidly being developed, potentially making more traditional social media platforms obsolete. As a result, we need to continuously innovate and develop our social media strategies in order to maintain broad appeal with customers and brand relevance.
Many social media platforms immediately publish the content their subscribers and participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. Information posted on such platforms may be inaccurate or adverse to our interests, and we may have little or no opportunity to redress or correct the information. The dissemination of such information online, regardless of its accuracy, could harm our business, reputation and brands.
Other risks associated with the use of social media include improper disclosure of proprietary information, personal identifiable information and out-of-date information, as well as fraud, by our customers, employees, franchisees and business partners. The inappropriate use of social media by our customers, employees, franchisees or business partners could increase our costs, lead to litigation or result in negative publicity that could damage our business, reputation and brands.
An impairment in the carrying value of our fixed assets, intangible assets or goodwill could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We evaluate the useful lives of our fixed assets and intangible assets to determine if they are definite- or indefinite-lived assets. Reaching a determination on useful life requires significant judgments and assumptions regarding the expected life, future effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, the level of required maintenance expenditures and the expected lives of other related groups of assets, as well as other economic factors, such as the stability of the industry, legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment and expected changes in distribution channels. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of assets. Should the value of fixed assets or intangible assets become impaired, we will have to recognize an impairment charge for the related asset. In the event we recognize any impairment charges in the future, such charges may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we may be required to record goodwill in the event we acquire additional assets or businesses in the future. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identified net assets of business acquired. We review any goodwill for impairment annually, or whenever circumstances change in a way which could indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. We identify potential goodwill impairments by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, which includes goodwill and other intangible assets. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, this is an indication that impairment may exist. We calculate the amount of the impairment by comparing the fair value of the assets and liabilities to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit in excess of the value of the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of the goodwill. If this amount is less than the carrying amount of goodwill, impairment is recognized for the difference. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment exists. Factors may include, among others:
| ● | a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; |
| 23 |
| ● | a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization | |
| ● | a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; | |
| ● | unanticipated competition; | |
| ● | the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and | |
| ● | slower growth rates. |
We will be required to record a non-cash impairment charge if the testing performed indicates that goodwill has been impaired.
We are subject to risks related to the sale of our Singing Machine business.
On August 1, 2025, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with SMC and Stingray USA pursuant to which Stingray USA purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed most of the liabilities, associated with our Singing Machine business. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, we no longer own or operate the Singing Machine business line. In connection with the transaction, we also entered into a transitional services agreement with Stingray USA to provide certain limited services following the closing. The performance of these services by us and other related conditions outside of our control could adversely affect our operations and future financial results.
As a result of the sale of our Singing Machine business, we became a smaller, less diversified company than we were prior to the transaction, which could make us more vulnerable to factors impacting our performance, such as changing market conditions and market volatility. In addition, while it is intended that the transaction be tax-free to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there is no assurance that the transaction will qualify for this treatment. If the sale is ultimately determined to be taxable, we or our stockholders could incur income tax liabilities that could be significant. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the price of our common stock.
Significant adverse weather conditions and other disasters could negatively impact our results of operations.
Our business could be negatively affected by adverse weather conditions and acts of God, such as regional winter storms, fires, floods, hurricanes, tropical storms and earthquakes, and other disasters, such as pandemics, oil spills and nuclear meltdowns. The occurrence of any such events in the future could cause substantial damage to our business and subject us to substantial repair costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Streeterville Transaction
The sale of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by Streeterville and/or by our existing security holders could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On August 21, 2025, we completed the Streeterville Transaction. As of March 27, 2026, we had completed Pre-Paid Purchases for the aggregate amount of $21,285,000 and had repaid Pre-Paid Purchases in the aggregate amount of $9,845,000 as a result of Streeterville electing to exercise its right to purchase a total of 11,303,264 shares of our common stock under the First Pre-Paid Purchase, Second Pre-Paid Purchase and Third Pre-Paid Purchase. The Second Pre-Paid Purchase and Third Pre-Paid Purchase have been paid off in full. However, we have principal in the amount of approximately $1,085,000 and $10,355,000 outstanding under the First Pre-Paid Purchase and Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, respectively. In the event Streeterville elects to exercise its right to purchase additional shares of our common stock under the First Pre-Paid Purchase or Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase, we may be required to issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock to Streeterville. The sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market by Streeterville and/or by our other existing security holders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our common stock.
Shares of our common stock purchased by Streeterville may be issued at a price significantly below the prevailing market price of our common stock, resulting in substantial dilution of existing stockholders and a decrease in the price of our common stock.
Following the funding of each Pre-Paid Purchase, Streeterville has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from us that number of shares of common stock up to the lesser of: (i) a number of shares of common stock equal in value to the outstanding balance of the funded amount, and (ii) that number of shares of common stock such that Streeterville will not beneficially own greater than 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The price per share used to calculate the number of shares to be issued to Streeterville is equal to 90% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable purchase date, but not less than the floor price, which is the greater of: (i) 20% of the Minimum Price prior to the applicable closing of the Pre-Paid Purchase, and (ii) $0.10. If Streeterville exercises its right to purchase additional shares of our common stock under Pre-Paid Purchases, the shares may be sold by us to Streeterville at a price significantly below the prevailing market price. This could lead to substantial dilution of existing stockholders. This dilution, combined with the potential for downward pressure on our share price if Streeterville promptly sells the shares in the open market, could reduce the market value of our common stock significantly.
| 25 |
We may be required to make substantial cash payments to Streeterville, which could reduce the amount of cash available to fund our operations.
If Streeterville chooses to not exercise its right to purchase shares of common stock from us, we will be required to repay any outstanding Pre-Paid Purchases in cash. We may not have sufficient cash on hand or available resources to meet such a repayment obligation, which could force us to seek emergency financing or other arrangements which may not be available or, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. In the event we do have sufficient funds available, the cash payment obligations, if triggered, could significantly reduce the cash we have available to fund our operations or make necessary investments. This would adversely affect our financial condition, limit our ability to pursue growth opportunities, and adversely affect our business prospects.
In addition, the occurrence of an event of default under the Pre-Paid Purchases or certain change-of-control or other fundamental transactions may accelerate repayment or suspend Streeterville’s funding obligations to us. If an event of default occurs under a Pre-Paid Purchase, the outstanding balance will become immediately due and payable. At any time thereafter, upon written notice given by Streeterville, the outstanding balance will increase by seven-and-a half percent and interest will begin accruing at a rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. If we are involved in a change-of-control or other fundamental transaction, we may be required to repay the Pre-Paid Purchases in cash. We may not have sufficient cash on hand or available resources to meet such a repayment obligation, which could force us to seek emergency financing or other arrangements which may not be available or, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. In the event we do have sufficient funds available, the cash payment obligations, if triggered, could significantly reduce the cash we have available to fund our operations or make necessary investments. This would adversely affect our financial condition, limit our ability to pursue growth opportunities, and adversely affect our business prospects.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
We may raise additional funds in the future through the issuance of equity securities or debt, which funding may be dilutive to stockholders or impose operational restrictions on us.
On December 6, 2024, we completed a public offering of an aggregate of 21,000 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 258,412 shares of common stock, Series A warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock, and Series B warrants to purchase up to 279,412 shares of common stock. Immediately prior to the completion of the offering, we had 71,076 shares of our common stock outstanding. Additionally, due to price adjustment provisions contained in the Series A and Series B warrants, the Series A warrants became exercisable into 1,133,652 shares of common stock and the Series B warrants became exercisable into 1,910,975 shares of our common stock. All of the pre-funded warrants and Class B warrants were exercised in their entirety.
On August 21, 2025, we completed the Streeterville Transaction. As of March 27, 2026, we had completed Pre-Paid Purchases for the aggregate amount of $21,285,000 and had repaid Pre-Paid Purchases in the aggregate amount of $9,845,000 as a result of Streeterville electing to exercise its right to purchase a total of 11,303,264 shares of our common stock under the First Pre-Paid Purchase, Second Pre-Paid Purchase and Third Pre-Paid Purchase.
| 26 |
Shareholders who owned shares of our common stock immediately prior to the completion of the December 6, 2024 securities offering experienced immediate and substantial dilution as a result of the issuance of the shares of common stock on December 6, 2024 and the subsequent exercise of the pre-funded warrants and Class B warrants. Additionally, shareholders who owned shares of our common stock immediately prior to the dates Streeterville elected to purchase 11,303,264 shares of our common stock under the First Pre-Paid Purchase, the Second Pre-Paid Purchase and the Third Pre-Paid Purchase experienced immediate and substantial dilution.
We may need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of short- and long-term debt during the next 12 months to fund our operations and growth. If we raise additional funds by issuing shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in the event the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring dividends. In addition, any equity securities or debt that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the securities held by our stockholders.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, including:
| ● | fluctuations in our annual or quarterly operating results; | |
| ● | changes in capital market conditions or other adverse economic conditions; | |
| ● | upgrades or downgrades by securities analysts following our stock; | |
| ● | changes in estimates of our future financial results by securities analysts following our stock; | |
| ● | our achievement, or our failure to achieve, projected financial results; | |
| ● | future sales of our stock by our officers, directors or significant stockholders; | |
| ● | investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects relative to other investment alternatives; | |
| ● | acquisitions, joint ventures, capital commitments or other significant transactions by us or our competitors; |
| 27 |
| ● | global economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and | |
| ● | the other risks and uncertainties set forth herein. |
The stock market experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that affect the market price of the stock of many companies and that are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Market fluctuations such as these may seriously harm the price of our common stock. Further, securities Series Action suits have been filed against companies following periods of market volatility in the price of their securities. If such an action is instituted against us, we may incur substantial costs and a diversion of management attention and resources, which would seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the initiation of any such action could cause the price of our common stock to decline
Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate due to increases and decreases in sales and other factors.
Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly because of a variety of factors, including:
| ● | increases or decreases in sales of our services; | |
| ● | our ability to operate effectively in new markets; | |
| ● | labor availability and costs for management and other personnel; | |
| ● | changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions; | |
| ● | negative publicity relating to us, our vendors or the services we sell; | |
| ● | disruptions in the availability of trucks needed to complete shipments; | |
| ● | changes consumer confidence and fluctuations in discretionary spending; | |
| ● | changes in labor costs or other variable costs and expenses; | |
| ● | potential distractions or unusual expenses associated with our expansion plans; | |
| ● | the impact of inclement weather, natural disasters, and other calamities; and | |
| ● | economic conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate and nationally. |
As a result of the factors discussed above, as well as the other factors set forth herein, our operating results for one fiscal quarter or year are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other fiscal quarter or year. These fluctuations may cause future operating results to fall below our estimates or the expectations of our stockholders or the investment community in general. If our results of operations do not meet the expectations of our stockholders or the investment community, the price of our common stock may decline.
| 28 |
Our common stock may be affected by price fluctuations, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.
Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience, significant price and volume fluctuations in the future which could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our securities.
Effective June 30, 2020, the SEC implemented Regulation Best Interest requiring that “A broker, dealer, or a natural person who is an associated person of a broker or dealer, when making a recommendation of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities (including account recommendations) to a retail customer, shall act in the best interest of the retail customer at the time the recommendation is made, without placing the financial or other interest of the broker, dealer, or natural person who is an associated person of a broker or dealer making the recommendation ahead of the interest of the retail customer...” This is a significantly higher standard for broker-dealers to recommend securities to retail customers than before under prior suitability rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). FINRA suitability rules do still apply to institutional investors and require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending securities to their customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information, and, for retail customers, determine that the investment is in the customer’s “best interest,” and meet other SEC requirements. Both SEC Regulation Best Interest and FINRA’s suitability requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy speculative, low-priced securities and may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our securities. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock.
An investment in our securities is speculative, and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
Investors are cautioned that an investment in our securities is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. The success of our business and the ability to achieve our business goals and objectives, as outlined in this report, are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks. As such, there is no assurance that investors will realize a return on their investment or that they will not lose their entire investment. Potential investors should carefully consider whether such a speculative investment is suitable for their financial situation and investment objectives before purchasing securities.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during the assessment of our internal control that we performed in connection with the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements included herein.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require management to complete an annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. During the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we identified several control deficiencies that have been classified as material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our employees in the normal course of their assigned functions. Based on the material weaknesses identified, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.
Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the following material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2025:
| ● | We lack sufficient resources in our accounting department restricting our ability to review and approve certain material journal entries which increases the likelihood that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements might not be prevented. Management evaluated our current process of review and approval of certain material journal entries and concluded this deficiency represented a material weakness. | |
| ● | We lack sufficient resources in our accounting department, which restricts our ability to review certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have proper segregation between the preparation, review and approval of account reconciliations and concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. | |
| ● | Due to resource restrictions, we have not established a three-way match of documents or other controls precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue. Management evaluated our current process of determining the occurrence of revenue and concluded this deficiency represented a material weakness. |
The standards that must be met for management to assess internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. We may encounter problems or delays in completing the activities necessary to make future assessments of our internal control over financial reporting and completing the implementation of any necessary improvements. Future assessments may require us to incur substantial costs and may require a significant amount of time and attention of management, which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 30 |
If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results on a timely basis or prevent fraud.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports on a timely basis or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective internal control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if undiscovered failures of internal controls exist and may in the future discover areas of our internal control environment that need improvement. If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results in an accurate and timely manner or prevent fraud.
We are working on improving and simplifying our internal processes and implement enhanced controls to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed above and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. We are addressing our accounting resource requirements to help remediate the segregation of duties and plan to implement a concise “three-way” document matching procedure. These material weaknesses will not be considered as remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
We are a public company and subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time and effort to achieve. If we fail to maintain compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of us may decline as a result.
Any failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement necessary changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, particularly if we become fully subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its auditor attestation requirements, which will increase costs. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and to meeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 31 |
If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, it could delist us, which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
Our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol “RIME”. For our common stock to continue trading on the Nasdaq, we must meet continued listing standards mandated by the Nasdaq. These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, including maintaining a $1.00 minimum closing bid price and maintaining stockholder’s equity of at least $2,500,000. If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted.
On August 26, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq advising us that we did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To demonstrate compliance with this requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before February 24, 2025.
On August 26, 2024, we received an additional letter from the Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. We reported a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $872,000 on June 30, 2024 in that quarterly report. Pursuant to the listing rule and instructions from Nasdaq, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the listing rule and were given an extension until November 14, 2024 to evidence compliance through a public filing.
On November 19, 2024, we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 with the SEC. Therein, we reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2,700,000. That same day we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC stating that we believed we had regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement. On November 22, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, based on the Form 10-Q that we filed on November 19, 2024, the Nasdaq had determined that we were in compliance with the stockholders’ equity rule. The Nasdaq advised us that it would continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of our next periodic report, we fail to comply with the requirement, we may be subject to delisting.
On December 30, 2024, we received notice from the Nasdaq indicating that the bid price for our common stock had closed below $0.10 per share for the 13-consecutive trading day period ended December 27, 2024 and, accordingly, we would be subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) and our securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless we timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq hearings panel. On February 10, 2025, we implemented a 200-for-1 reverse stock split. On that day, the closing price of our common stock was $2.98 per share and the closing bid of our common stock remained above $1.00 for the next 10 consecutive business days.
| 32 |
On March 25, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq stating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from March 25, 2025. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq finds that we are again out of compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), then the Nasdaq will issue a delist determination letter and we will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Nasdaq hearing panel or a newly convened hearing panel if the initial panel is unavailable.
On November 28, 2025, we received an additional letter from the Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. We reported a stockholders’ equity of approximately $100,000 on September 30, 2025 in that quarterly report. Pursuant to the listing rule and instructions from Nasdaq, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the listing rule and were given an extension until May 27, 2026 to evidence compliance through a public filing.
If we were unable to meet the continued listing of the Nasdaq, our common stock could be subject to delisting. If our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq, trading of our common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Markets or in the “pink sheets.” Such a downgrade in our listing market may limit our ability to make a market in our common stock and which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
New laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty for public companies, increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming.
These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by the courts and applicable government agencies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business may be adversely affected.
| 33 |
As a “smaller reporting company” under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations in our SEC filings compared to larger public companies. This includes, but is not limited to, simplified executive compensation disclosures, reduced financial statement requirements, and less stringent narrative disclosure obligations. While these scaled disclosure requirements may reduce the burden on us and provide some cost savings, investors should be aware that they may also receive less information about us than they would from a larger public reporting company. The designation as a smaller reporting company and the accompanying reduced disclosure requirements could make it more difficult for investors to fully assess the value and risks of an investment in our securities. Consequently, the designation as a smaller reporting company under the SEC rules increases the risk to investors, as it may limit the amount of publicly available information to assess our performance, prospects, and financial health. Potential investors should consider the implications of these reduced disclosure requirements when making an investment decision.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” may limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock is a “penny stock” as defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act and is accordingly subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our common stock can be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend penny stocks to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to participate in the transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to use any cash generated from our operations for reinvestment in the growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made by our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions and growth plan, restrictions imposed by applicable law, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments in our common stock will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock. We can provide no assurance that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders purchased their shares.

Item 2. Properties.
We lease office space in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for our corporate headquarters and lease office space in Bangalore, India for our India operations. We believe these locations are adequate to support our operations for the next 12 months. We also believe that these facilities are not unique and could be replaced, if necessary, at the end of the term of the existing leases.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On February 11, 2025, Blue Yonder, Inc. (“Blue Yonder”) filed a civil action in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona against us for breach of contract and to enforce a stipulated judgment entered against SemiCab, Inc. in connection with the liabilities related to Blue Yonder that we assumed when it acquired SemiCab, Inc.’s business. Blue Yonder alleges that, because we assumed these liabilities, Blue Yonder can enforce the judgment against us. The judgment was in the amount of $509,119. On August 1, 2025, we filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims against Blue Yonder for breach of contract. On January 30, 3026, the court granted Blue Yonder’s motion for judgment on the pleadings. The outcome of this matter is uncertain.

All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and, except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this report.
Overview
We are an AI technology company focused on the growth and development of SemiCab. SemiCab is an AI-enabled software logistics and distribution business that utilizes our SemiCab technology platform to enable retailers, brands and transportation providers to address common supply chain problems globally. We operate our SemiCab business through our subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings.
Prior to August 1, 2025, we had a second business, which was Singing Machine. Singing Machine was a home karaoke consumer products business that designed and distributed karaoke products to retailers and ecommerce partners globally through our subsidiary, The Singing Machine Company, Inc. We sold our Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, we no longer own or operate the Singing Machine business.
SemiCab
SemiCab is an AI-enabled, cloud-based collaborative transportation platform built to achieve the scalability required to predict and optimize loads and the use of trucks. To orchestrate collaboration across manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and their carriers, SemiCab uses real-time data from API-based load tendering and pre-built integrations with TMS and ELD partners. To build fully loaded round trips, SemiCab uses AI/ML techniques and advanced predictive optimization models.
Since 2020, SemiCab has enabled major retailers, brands and transportation providers to address their transportation needs. SemiCab’s Orchestrated Collaboration™ AI model has proven to increase transportation capacity, improve asset utilization, reduce empty miles, lower logistics costs, and provide visibility into the entire transportation network. Models show that our SemiCab technology has the capability of reducing costs through optimization. Additionally, our SemiCab technology has the potential to play a key role in the improved sustainability model. Based on our proven ability to improve truck utilization rates, this could result in a dramatic reduction in the carbon footprint of the industry. The optimization of existing truck utilization can add trucking capacity without adding more trucks, drivers or driven miles which addresses common problems plaguing the industry like severe driver shortage and road congestion. Trucking optimization could also reduce carbon emissions attributable to road freight.

Singing Machine
Through Singing Machine, we engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, and musical recordings. We were a leading global karaoke and music entertainment company that specializes in the design and production of quality karaoke and music enabled consumer products for adults and children. Our products were among the most widely available karaoke products internationally. We sold our Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, we no longer own or operate the Singing Machine business line.
Strategy
We intend to invest in our SemiCab AI logistics and distribution business to develop and grow it into a significant revenue producer for us. This will involve investments in the continued research and development of our technology, the hiring of additional qualified employees, marketing and advertising initiatives, and back-office support. While this is a nascent business, it has already acquired several large, fast-moving consumer products companies as customers. We believe that as existing customers experience the benefits of our SemiCab logistics and distribution solutions, they will begin to increase their use of our services. We also believe that our ability to improve truck utilization rates and improve trucking capacity without adding more trucks, drivers or driven miles will be of substantial interest to additional companies that can benefit from our service.
We acquired the United States component of our SemiCab business on July 3, 2024 and acquired the India component of our SemiCab business on May 2, 2025. We may make additional investments in companies operating in the AI distribution and logistics space that we believe are complementary to our business. Our investments could involve an acquisition of the assets or equity of complementary companies or businesses or could involve a strategic partnership or joint venture with complementary companies or businesses or digital asset treasury strategies. We believe that additional investments could provide us with new AI logistics and distribution technologies, services and resources that we can implement across our entire business or could help us to more quickly expand our footprint into other parts of the world. We are actively evaluating additional opportunities to expand our SemiCab business through investments in complementary AI logistics and distribution businesses and companies.
Financial Results
We generated net sales of $4,391,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $297,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in revenue was due primarily to the addition of net sales generated by our SemiCab business resulting from our acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025. Cost of sales was $5,706,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $491,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was due primarily to the addition of freight, handling and servicing costs incurred by SMCB resulting from our acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025.
| 39 |
Our operating expenses were $6,629,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $8,248,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to a decrease of $3,592,000 related to the impairment of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of SemiCab, Inc’s business during the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses incurred in the growth and development of the SemiCab business during the year ended December 31, 2025. We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $15,210,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18,884,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The most significant contributors to the decrease in the net loss from continuing operations were decreases in non-cash charges of $3,592,000 for impairment of goodwill and $8,889,000 for loss on the issuance of warrants. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $6,468,000 for non-cash charges for changes in the fair value of warrants liability and increases in general and administrative expenses incurred in the growth and development of the SemiCab business.
We generated net loss from continuing operations of $15,210,000, or $5.86 per share of common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18,884,000, or $270.44 per share of common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to an increase of $4,094,000 for net sales and a decrease of $3,592,000 for impairment of goodwill. This was partially offset by an increase of $5,215,000 for cost of sales. We had total assets of $12,724,000 and $18,302,000 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Net cash used by operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $7,309,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3,985,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Outlook
We expect net sales to increase substantially over the next 12 months as we generate more business through our growing customer base in India and as we begin to generate business in the United States and Europe. We expect costs of sales to increase over the next 12 months in connection with the increase in net sales that we expect to generate from our SemiCab business. We expect operating expenses and net loss available to common stockholders to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to fund the growth and development of our SemiCab business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event we complete additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other complementary businesses or companies through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives, such as the acquisition of the United States component of our SemiCab business on July 3, 2024 and the acquisition of the India component of our SemiCab business on May 2, 2025, our financial results will include and reflect the financial results of the target entities. Accordingly, the completion of any such transactions in the future may have a substantial beneficial or negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other factors, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ under different estimates and assumptions.
The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures, see our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this report.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. We recognize revenue when services are performed for the customer in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which we are expected to be entitled in exchange for those services. We determine revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised services that are distinct); (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, we transfer control of the service for each performance obligation.
Our performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification and we accept the order. We identify performance obligations as the delivery of the requested service at the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. Revenue from sales of services is recognized at the point in time when we transfer control to the customer, typically at the time when the services are performed in full, at which time there are no further performance obligations remaining.
Our contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation, which is the performance of services. Our contracts have no financing elements. Payment terms are generally less than 90 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of the service is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration we expect to receive for the sale of the service.
We utilize independent contractors and third-party carriers to perform transportation services in connection with our SemiCab business. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, we evaluate the terms of agreements with customers and vendors to determine whether we act as principal or agent in each arrangement.
This assessment focuses on whether control of the transportation service is obtained prior to transferring the service to the customer. Based on this evaluation of the control model, we concluded that it acts as the principal and, accordingly we recognize revenue on a gross basis. In the event we act as an agent, such revenue will be recognized net of the cost of purchased transportation.
All revenue earned from contracts are presented net of discounts, allowances, and applicable taxes
| 41 |
Warrant Liability
We classify the Series A and B warrants issued in our December 2024 public offering as a liability at its fair value. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of these warrants requires significate estimates by management derived from unobservable inputs. Deviations from these estimates could have a significant affect on our financial results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810). This ASU provides that a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the guidance in both ASC 718 and ASC 606 on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance, primarily by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. In addition, the ASU clarifies that the guidance in ASC 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer “regardless of whether an award’s grant date has occurred” (as determined under ASC 718). ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current receivables and contract assets arising under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU allows entities to assume that the macroeconomic conditions existing at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of those assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
| 42 |
In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for costs incurred in the development of internal-use software by removing the concept of multiple project stages. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits funding to the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software placed into service. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU clarifies the scope of derivative accounting for certain contracts and provides guidance on share-based, non-cash consideration received from a customer under Topic 606. The amendments expand a scope exception for contracts whose underlying is based on an entity’s own operations or activities, reducing the number of arrangements that qualify as derivatives. The ASU also clarifies the accounting for share-based consideration received from a customer. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11). The purpose of this ASU is to improve the guidance of Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by providing clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. This amendment also provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU also add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all public companies for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
We reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to our operations or that no material effect is expected on our consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Net Sales
Net sales consist of sales generated by our SemiCab business. Net sales increased $4,094,000 to $4,391,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $297,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net sales was due primarily to the addition of net sales generated by SMCB, which we acquired on May 2, 2025. We expect net sales to increase over the next 12 months as we generate more business through our growing customer base in India and as we begin to generate business in the United States and Europe.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of freight, handling and servicing costs that we incur in connection with our SemiCab business. Cost of sales increased $5,215,000 to $5,706,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $491,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was due primarily to the addition of freight, handling and servicing costs incurred by SMCB, which we acquired on May 2, 2025. We expect costs of sales to increase over the next 12 months in connection with the increase in net sales that we expect to generate from our SemiCab business.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and impairment of goodwill.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses consist primarily of marketing and advertising activities that we engage in from time to time in connection with our SemiCab business. Selling expenses were $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025. We did not incur any selling expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024. We expect selling expenses to increase substantially over the next 12 months as we being to devote more resources to marketing and advertising activities to support the growth of our SemiCab business in India, the United States and Europe.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll expenses, legal and accounting expenses, and other corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1,973,000 to $6,629,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4,656,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to increases in expenses incurred in connection with the operation of our SemiCab. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to invest in the growth and development of our SemiCab business.
| 44 |
Impairment of Goodwill
Impairment of goodwill consists of the expense that we incurred from the write down of the goodwill that we recorded in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of SemiCab, Inc. on July 3, 2024. We recorded impairment of goodwill of $3,592,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. We did not record any impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2025. We do not expect to incur any write down of goodwill over the next 12 months.
Other Expenses
Other expenses consists primarily of loss on the issuance of warrants that we incurred in connection with the public offering of securities that we completed on December 6, 2024, and interest expense that we incurred in connection with shares of common stock that we issued to investors in our October 2024 notes offering and other financing transactions. We incurred only a minimal amount of other expenses in connection with our SemiCab business. Other expenses decreased $3,227,000 to $7,215,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $10,442,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $2,087,000 for the loss that we incurred in connection with the issuance and change in fair value of the Series A and Series B warrants that we sold in the public offering of securities that we completed on December 6, 2024, and $1,588,000 for non-cash interest expense that we incurred in connection with shares of common stock that we issued to investors in our various financing transactions during 2024. We expect other expenses to decrease substantially over the next 12 months.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest consists of the loss allocated to SemiCab, Inc., which owned a 20% of the outstanding membership interests of SemiCab Holdings until May 2, 2025, and Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal, who collectively owned 20% of the outstanding membership interests of SemiCab Holdings beginning May 2, 2025. SemiCab Holdings owns our SemiCab business. We acquired our SemiCab business from SemiCab, Inc. on July 3, 2024, and, as part of the transaction, granted SemiCab, Inc. a 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $701,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 represents the amount of loss incurred by SemiCab Holdings that was allocated to SemiCab Inc. between January 1, 2025 and May 2, 2025, and to Ajesh Kapoor and Vivek Sehgal through their collective 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings between May 2, 2025 and December 31, 2025. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $1,110,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents the amount of loss incurred by SemiCab Holdings that was allocated to SemiCab, Inc. through its 20% membership interest in SemiCab Holdings between July 3, 2024 and December 31, 2024. We expect net loss attributable to non-controlling interest to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to invest in the development and growth of our SemiCab business.
| 45 |
Liquidity And Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through cash generated by our operations, private sales of equity securities and the use of short- and long-term debt. As of March 25, 2026, our cash and restricted cash balance was approximately $10,939,000.
Net cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $7,309,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3,985,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $3,324,000 was due primarily to an increase of $2,087,000 for the loss that we incurred in connection with the issuance and change in fair value of the Series A and Series B warrants that we sold in the public offering of securities that we completed on December 6, 2024, and to an increase of $3,592,000 related to the impairment of goodwill from the purchase of SemiCab, Inc recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024. This was partially offset by a decrease of $3,674,000 for loss from continuing operations.
Net cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations was $1,770,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,175,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $405,000 was due primarily to decreases of $605,000 for advances to SMCB under our loan agreement with them, $593,000 for cash received in connection with our acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025, and $415,000 for pre-acquisition advances to SemiCab. This was partially offset by increases of $758,000 for repurchases of shares of our common stock and $419,000 for the capitalization of internal use software costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities attributable to continuing operations was $9,686,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11,648,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $1,962,000 was due primarily to decreases of $12,932,000 for proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants and $2,000,000 for proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes, net of discounts. This was partially offset by an increase of $10,213,000 for proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes and a decrease of $2,578,000 for payments of senior secured notes and debt issuance costs.
Our limited cash resources along with our recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To date, our capital needs have been met through cash generated by our operations, sales of our equity securities and the use of short- and long-term debt to fund our operations. We have used these sources of capital to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses that we have incurred to date. These costs and expenses have been comprised primarily of the professional fees, employee compensation expenses, and general and administrative expenses discussed above. We intend to continue to rely upon each of these sources to fund our operations and expansion efforts, including additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other complementary businesses and companies during the next 12 months.
| 46 |
We can provide no assurance that these sources of capital will be adequate to fund our operations and expansion efforts during the next 12 months. If these sources of capital are not adequate, we will need to obtain additional capital through alternative sources of financing. We may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of short- and long-term debt. If we raise additional funds by issuing shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in the event the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring dividends. In addition, any equity securities or debt that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.
We have not made arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions and our operating performance. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of any proposed future financing transactions unattractive to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, or if such capital cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, we may not be able to pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, take advantage of future acquisition opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated events, or otherwise execute upon our business plan. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and, in the extreme case, cause us to discontinue our operations.
Nasdaq Compliance
On August 26, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq advising us that we did not meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To demonstrate compliance with this requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock needed to be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before February 24, 2025.
On August 26, 2024, we received an additional letter from the Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. We reported a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $872,000 on June 30, 2024 in that quarterly report. Pursuant to the listing rule and instructions from Nasdaq, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the listing rule and were given an extension until November 14, 2024 to evidence compliance through a public filing.
On November 19, 2024, we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 with the SEC. Therein, we reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2,700,000. That same day we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC stating that we believed we had regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement. On November 22, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, based on the Form 10-Q that we filed on November 19, 2024, the Nasdaq had determined that we were in compliance with the stockholders’ equity rule. The Nasdaq advised us that it would continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of our next periodic report, we fail to comply with the requirement, we may be subject to delisting.
| 47 |
On December 30, 2024, we received notice from the Nasdaq indicating that the bid price for our common stock had closed below $0.10 per share for the 13-consecutive trading day period ended December 27, 2024 and, accordingly, we would be subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) and our securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless we timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq hearings panel. On February 10, 2025, we implemented a 200-for-1 reverse stock split. On that day, the closing price of our common stock was $2.98 per share and the closing bid of our common stock remained above $1.00 for the next 10 consecutive business days.
On March 25, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq stating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from March 25, 2025. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq finds that we are again out of compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), then the Nasdaq will issue a delist determination letter and we will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Nasdaq hearing panel or a newly convened hearing panel if the initial panel is unavailable.
On November 28, 2025, we received an additional letter from the Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. We reported a stockholders’ equity of approximately $100,000 on September 30, 2025 in that quarterly report. Pursuant to the listing rule and instructions from Nasdaq, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the listing rule and were given an extension until May 27, 2026 to evidence compliance through a public filing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet management’s objectives.
As of December 31, 2025, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
(a) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| 49 |
(b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and
(c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Our management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2025, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the following material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2025:
1. We lacked sufficient resources in our accounting department restricting our ability to review and approve certain material journal entries which increases the likelihood that a material misstatement of interim or annual financial statements might not be prevented.
2. We lacked sufficient resources in our accounting department, which resulted in our ability to have proper segregation of duties between the preparation, review and approval certain material reconciliations related to financial reporting in a timely manner.
3. Due to our lack of sufficient resource restrictions in our accounting department, we have not established a three-way match of documents or other controls precise enough to detect a material misstatement in revenue.
| 50 |
To remediate these material weaknesses, we intend to conduct a thorough review of the accounting department to ensure that the staff has the appropriate training and experience. We may hire one or more accounting persons to assist us with our accounting and financial reporting function. We also intend to implement more comprehensive written policies and procedures that address separation of duties and proper accounting and financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal controls, we believe that our consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and our statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On February 23, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Gary Atkinson to continue serving as our Chief Executive Officer. The agreement supersedes and replaces the employment agreement that we entered into with Mr. Atkinson on April 22, 2022. The agreement is for a term of three years with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms, unless either party provides at least 90 days’ notice of its intention not to extend.

401(k) Plan
Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted a voluntary 401(k) plan. All employees with at least 90 days of service are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. We make a matching contribution of 100% of the first three percent of salary deferral contributions, plus 50% of the next two percent of salary deferral contributions, for each payroll period. The matching contributions that we make are vested in full immediately.
Clawback Policy
Our Board has adopted a clawback policy relating to recovery of erroneously awarded compensation that complies with the Nasdaq clawback rules which are required by SEC Rule 10D-1. Under this policy, in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement of our financial statements due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the policy requires that the administrator of the policy, to the extent legally permitted and pursuant to the terms of the policy, recover from current and former Section 16 officers any incentive-based compensation, as defined in Nasdaq’s clawback rules, received by such officers that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had such incentive based compensation been determined according to the applicable accounting restatement. A copy of our clawback policy is attached hereto as Exhibit 97.
Policies and Practices related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
We have a strict policy of not granting securities to our executive officers, directors and employees when material nonpublic information is known or a material transaction is anticipated to occur.
The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. We do not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards. Instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with our strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.
In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, our board of directors and compensation committee consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Procedures utilized by our board of directors and compensation committee to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include consultation with legal counsel and, where appropriate, the delay of the grant of applicable equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information has been completed.
We are committed to maintaining transparency in our executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. We regularly review our policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure that they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of us and our stockholders.
| 64 |
During the year ended December 31, 2025, no securities were granted to our named executive officers within four business days prior to, or one business day following, the filing or furnishing of a periodic or current report by us that disclosed material nonpublic information.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan
On April 12, 2022, our board of directors approved The Singing Machine Company, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The plan provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards, to our employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors, and independent contractors.
The number of shares of common stock that was initially available for issuance under the plan was 1,167 shares of common stock. On the first day of each of our fiscal years thereafter, this number is increased by the lesser of: (i) five percent of the number of shares of our common stock that were outstanding on the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year, calculated on a fully diluted, (ii) 167 shares, and (iii) such lesser number as our board of directors may determine. Any shares of common stock underlying awards that lapse, terminate, expire prior to exercise, are canceled or are forfeited are added to the number of shares of commons stock available for issuance under the plan.
On November 20, 2025, the plan was amended to provide that the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the plan is 5,000,000 and that, commencing January 1, 2025, on the first day of each of our fiscal years thereafter, this number will be increased by the lesser of: (i) 15% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of our immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) an amount determined by the board of directors, provided that any shares from any such increases in previous years that are not actually issued shall continue to be available for issuance under the plan.
Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, there were 5,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan. Of this amount, awards representing 283,666 shares of common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 4,716,334 shares remained available for issuance as of December 31, 2025. On January 1, 2026, the number of shares available for issuance under the plan increased to 5,750,000 in accordance with the terms of the plan.

Stingray Holdings Music Subscription Agreement
We have a music subscription sharing agreement with Stingray Group under which we generated music subscription revenue of $64,000 and $780,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $0 and $212,000, respectively, due from Stingray Group for music subscription reimbursement.

This revenue was included in net loss from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the accounts receivable was included in current assets of discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.
SMCB
VIE Analysis
We determined that SMCB, which was a subsidiary of SemiCab, Inc. until SemiCab Holdings acquired it on May 2, 2025, was a VIE as we provided financial support to SMCB. While not contractually obligated, SMCB relied on our reimbursement of certain costs under a intercompany services agreement (“MSA”) whereby SMCB agreed to provide IT software development services to us. In exchange, under the MSA, we granted intellectual property rights to SMCB to use the software platform in India. Compensation for services is invoiced and paid on a monthly or quarterly basis as agreed by both parties, with rates subject to periodic review and revision. The agreement is for a term of two years ending on April 1, 2025 and automatically renews for additional 12-month periods unless prior notice is given by the terminating party. The agreement automatically renewed for an additional 12-month period on April 1, 2025. As a result of this relationship and the financial support provided by us under the loan agreement described below, SMCB has been determined to be a VIE prior to May 2, 2025.
We further determined that were are not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because we did not have the power to direct or control SMCB’s significant activities related to its business prior to May 2, 2025. Accordingly, we have not consolidated SMCB’s results of operations and financial position prior to May 2, 2025 in our consolidated financial statements.
Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that we entered into on June 11, 2024, we entered into an option agreement that granted SemiCab Holdings the right to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of SMCB for 1,605 shares of our common stock. We did not exercise this right and the option agreement expired on August 31, 2024.
| 68 |
Loan Agreement
We are a party to a loan agreement with SMCB dated March 22, 2024. Under the loan agreement, we agreed to loan up to $2,500,000 to SMCB. The loans are anticipated to be made in tranches. Disbursements of any tranches are fully at our discretion. Each tranche has a repayment period of five years. The loans can be repaid at any time prior to the five- year maturity date without penalty. Interest on the loans accrues at a rate of six percent per year and is payable quarterly.
At December 31, 2024, a total of $1,140,000 was outstanding under the loan agreement. During the period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending May 2, 2025, the date we acquired 99.99% of the equity shares of SMCB, we made advances to SMCB in the amount of $1,172,000. During the same period, SMCB charged $304,000 for services to us that were performed under the MSA, which charges offset amounts due under the loan with SMCB. As a result, as of May 2, 2025, a total of $2,008,000 of loans were outstanding under the loan agreement, and a total of $492,000 remained available for future borrowings under the loan agreement as of May 2, 2025. As of May 2, 2025, SMCB had not made any interest payments due under the loan agreement. As a result, the loans were in default as of May 2, 2025.
On May 2, 2025, the loan payable of $2,008,000 of SMCB and our loan receivable of $2,008,000 were eliminated in consolidation. As a result, no such loans payable and loans receivable were outstanding on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025. Also on May 2, 2025, revenue generated by SMCB for services performed by SMCB under the MSA of $304,000 and expenses for us for services performed by SMCB under the MSA of $304,000 during the period commencing January 1, 2025 and ending May 2, 2025 were eliminated in consolidation on May 2, 2025. As a result, no such revenue and expenses were reflected on our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Sale of Singing Machine to Stingray USA
On August 1, 2025, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Stingray USA, a related party and subsidiary of the Stingray Group, pursuant to which Stingray USA purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed most of the liabilities, associated with our Singing Machine business for $500,000. The transaction closed on August 1, 2025. Mathieu Peloquin is the Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Communications of Stingray Group and served as a member of our board of directors until October 6, 2025. The gain on sale that we recognized in connection with the completion of this transaction was included in net gain (loss) from discontinued operations on our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions With Related Persons
We believe that the terms of all of our transactions with related parties are commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Our audit committee is charged with the responsibility to review, approve and oversee any transaction between us and any related parties and to develop policies and procedures for the audit committee’s approval of related-party transactions. While we do not maintain a formal written policy with respect to related-party transactions, our audit committee and board of directors routinely review potential transactions that we have identified as related parties prior to the consummation of the transaction to ensure that the transaction is commercially reasonable and reflects market terms. Each transaction is reviewed to determine that a related party transaction is entered into by us with the related party pursuant to normal competitive negotiation and on terms no more favorable than with an unrelated third party. We also generally require, unless prohibited by law, that all related parties recuse themselves from negotiating and voting on behalf of us in connection with proposed transactions to which they would be a party.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements of Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2024 were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 15, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2024 consolidated financial statements to retrospectively apply the discontinued operations reclassifications related to the disposition of the Singing Machine business, as described in Notes 19, and the retrospective adjustments to share and per share data as a result of the reverse stock split, as described in Note 11 as well as the change to the segment information described in Note 15 as a result of the discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2024 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated, or required to be communicated, to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Going Concern
Due to the net loss for the year, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern.
Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2025.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Algorhythm Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements, before the effects of the adjustments to retrospectively adjust share and per share amounts for the reverse split as described in Note 1, and to reclassify the operations of the sold Singing Machine business as discontinued operations as described in Notes 2 and 19 and segment information as described in Note 15, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments to retrospectively adjust share and per share amounts for the reverse split as described in Note 1, and to reclassify the operations of the sold Singing Machine business as discontinued operations as described in Notes 2 and 19 and segment information as described in Note 15, and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by M&K CPAs, PLLC.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 – Nature of Business
Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a The Singing Machine Company, Inc.) (the “Company”) is an artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology company focused on the growth and development of SemiCab. SemiCab is an AI-enabled software logistics and distribution business that utilizes the Company’s SemiCab technology platform to enable retailers, brands and transportation providers to address common supply chain problems globally. The Company operates its SemiCab business through its subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings, LLC.
Prior to August 1, 2025, the Company had a second business, which was Singing Machine. Singing Machine was a home karaoke consumer products business that designed and distributed karaoke products to retailers and ecommerce partners globally through its subsidiary, The Singing Machine Company, Inc. The Company sold its Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, the Company no longer owns or operates the Singing Machine business. The results of operations, cash flows, and related assets and liabilities of the Singing Machine business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

The Company determined that the sale of the Singing Machine business met the criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represented a strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the Singing Machine business as a discontinued operation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. Additional information is presented in Note 19 – Discontinued Operations.
Note 3 – Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and restricted cash balance was $
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern and that the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments will continue in the ordinary course of business.
The Company plans to finance its operations by obtaining additional capital through external sources of financing. It may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of debt securities. The Company has not made any arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
In making this assessment, management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow forecasts, and obligations and debts. Although management has a recent history of successful capital raises, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash resources outside the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries SMCL, SMCM, SMH, SMC,
Rime and its eighty percent (
The Company evaluates its business relationships with related parties to identify potential Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. The Company will consolidate any VIE in which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company will be deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest has the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If both characteristics are met and, then the Company will consolidate that VIE into its consolidated financial statements.
As prescribed by ASC 810, if the Company holds a variable interest in an entity that is a VIE, but the Company is not the entity’s primary beneficiary, then the Company must disclose the methodology (e.g., significant judgments and assumptions made) that it used to determine that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Additional information required includes information about the types of involvement considered significant, and those considered in the determination of whether the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary.
Furthermore, if the Company provides or intends to provide financial or other support, whether explicitly or implicitly, to the VIE when not contractually required to, the Company must disclose the type and amount of the support along with the primary reasons for providing the support. Both qualitative and quantitative information about the Company’s involvement with the VIE must be disclosed, including the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the VIE and how the VIE is financed.
The Company determined that SMCB was a VIE because the Company provided financial support to SMCB in the form of a loan agreement to fund SMCB’s operations. The Company further determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of SMCB because the Company did not have the power to direct or control’s significant activities related to its business. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate SMCB’s results of operations and financial position in its consolidated financial statements prior to May 2, 2025.

Reclassification of Prior Periods Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. Significant estimates include allowance for credit losses, accruals relating to litigation, goodwill, share-based compensation expense and warrant liability.
Segment Reporting
Pursuant to ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).
Prior

The CODM evaluates and manages the Company’s operations using net loss as the primary measure to allocate resources, make operating decisions, and assess financial performance. In addition, the CODM considers non-financial information and other qualitative factors when evaluating performance, establishing compensation, monitoring budget-to-actual results, and making capital allocation decisions.
Additional information is presented in Note 15 – Segment Information and Revenue Disaggregation.
Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company considers cash to include cash in banks and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. Cash is maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
The Company classifies all cash whose use is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, consists of cash required under the Streeterville Capital Transaction as detailed in Note 12 – Securities Transactions.

The Company recognizes credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on its estimate of expected credit losses and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates specific identified risks and the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections, current forecasts of future economic conditions over the time horizon the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. As needed, amounts are written-off when determined to be uncollectible.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using straight-line methods.
Intangible Assets- Internal Use Software
The
Company capitalized costs related to the development of internal-use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill
and Other — Internal-Use Software. Capitalized costs primarily consist of personnel and third-party fees incurred during the application
development stage for software that support the Company’s Software as a Service (“SaaS”) operations. Costs incurred
during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software is amortized
on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is
Goodwill
The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASU 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on December 31 or more frequently if there are indicators that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its carried value.

Long Lived and Intangible Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). The Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset or intangible asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows.
The
Company had
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date.
The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs include those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| F-14 |
ALGORHYTHM HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2025 and 2024
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations. All significant inputs used in the Company’s valuations are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions which are compared to output from internally developed models such as a discounted cash flow model. |
| ● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The carrying amounts of financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivables and accounts receivable – related party, trade payables advances and notes payables and notes payable – related party approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Finally, the Company determines if the warrants meet the definition of a derivative based on their contractual terms. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance, as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding and at interim dates if circumstances warrant such analysis.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also evaluates if changes in contractual terms or other considerations would result in the reclassification of outstanding warrants from liabilities to stockholders’ equity (or vice versa).

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed for the customer in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised services that are distinct); (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the service for each performance obligation.
The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies performance obligations as the delivery of the requested service at the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. Revenue from sales of services is recognized at the point in time when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time when the services are performed in full, at which time there are no further performance obligations remaining.
The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation, which is the performance of services. The Company’s contracts have no financing elements. Payment terms are generally less than 90 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of the service is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of the service.
The Company utilizes independent contractors and third-party carriers to perform transportation services in connection with its SemiCab business. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, management evaluates the terms of agreements with customers and vendors to determine whether it acts as principal or agent in each arrangement.
This assessment focuses on whether control of the transportation service is obtained prior to transferring the service to the customer. Based on this evaluation of the control model, management has concluded that it acts as the principal and, accordingly recognizes revenue on a gross basis. In the event the Company acts as an agent, such revenue will be recognized net of the cost of purchased transportation.
All revenue earned from contracts are presented net of discounts, allowances, and applicable taxes

The Company has granted stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee members of its board of directors. The Company also has an equity incentive plan that provides for the issuance of equity incentive awards, such as stock options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance awards and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors.
The Company measures the compensation cost associated with all share-based payments based on grant date fair values. The fair value of each stock option and stock purchase right is estimated on the date of grant using an option pricing model that meets certain requirements. The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and stock purchase rights. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price and several assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
For grants of stock options, the Company uses a blend of historical and implied volatility for traded options on its stock to estimate the expected volatility assumption required in the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s use of blended volatility estimates in computing the expected volatility assumption for stock options is based on its belief that while the implied volatility is representative of expected future volatility, the historical volatility over the expected term of the award is also an indicator of expected future volatility. The Company utilizes a blended volatility estimate that consists of implied volatility and historical volatility in order to estimate the expected volatility assumption of the Black-Scholes model.
The expected term of stock options granted is estimated using historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the Company’s stock options and stock purchase rights. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company estimates its forfeiture rate assumption for all types of share-based compensation awards based on historical forfeiture rates related to each category of award.
Compensation costs associated with grants of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are measured at fair value, which has historically been the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of each individual award, which generally equals the vesting period, using the straight-line method for awards that contain only service conditions. For awards that contain performance conditions, the Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche, when achievement of that tranche is considered probable.
The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock awards on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
The
Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed
tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and that is reflected
in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit
from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit
that has a
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires, among other things, enhanced rate reconciliation disclosures, disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) between domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but resulted in expanded income tax disclosures in the accompanying notes.
Net loss available to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss available to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to acquire common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted net loss available to common stockholders computation in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810). This ASU provides that a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the guidance in both ASC 718 and ASC 606 on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance, primarily by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. In addition, the ASU clarifies that the guidance in ASC 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer “regardless of whether an award’s grant date has occurred” (as determined under ASC 718). ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current receivables and contract assets arising under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU allows entities to assume that the macroeconomic conditions existing at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of those assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU simplifies the accounting for costs incurred in the development of internal-use software by removing the concept of multiple project stages. Under the new guidance, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits funding to the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software placed into service. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU clarifies the scope of derivative accounting for certain contracts and provides guidance on share-based, non-cash consideration received from a customer under Topic 606. The amendments expand a scope exception for contracts whose underlying is based on an entity’s own operations or activities, reducing the number of arrangements that qualify as derivatives. The ASU also clarifies the accounting for share-based consideration received from a customer. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11). The purpose of this ASU is to improve the guidance of Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by providing clarity on the current interim reporting requirements. This amendment also provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments in this ASU also add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the reporting entity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all public companies for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company reviewed all other significant newly-issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they either are not applicable to the Company’s operations or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

The complaint alleged that the Company and its board of directors followed an inadequate process in evaluating the private placement transaction that the Company completed in November 2023 and that the Company and its board of directors entered into the transaction with an intent to dilute Ault’s ownership stake in the Company. Ault Lending was seeking the following relief from the court: (i) declarations that the defendant directors breached their fiduciary duties; and that Stingray Group and Regalia Ventures aided and abetted those breaches; (ii) rescission of the Company’s sale of shares to Stingray Group and Regalia Ventures; and (iii) damages and attorney’s fees. On April 30, 2025, Ault Lending filed a motion with the court requesting that the claims be dismissed without prejudice and on that same date, the court approved the dismissal of the claims without prejudice.

The Company performed an analysis in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The analysis performed to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets included an evaluation of the pattern and timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the length of carryback and carryforward periods available under the applicable federal, state and foreign laws; and the amount and timing of future taxable income. The Company evaluated the realizability of its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and concluded that a valuation allowance against all of the Company’s deferred tax assets was necessary based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, the Company’s recent history of losses and projected losses for fiscal year 2026 and in the future.

Notes 16 – Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties
Bank Liquidity and Financial Stability
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of this financial institution and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Concentration
The
Company derives a majority of its revenue from sales of its AI-enabled software logistics services in India. The Company’s allowance
for credit losses is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable
is concentrated with several large customers. As of December 31, 2025,
Revenue
derived from the Company’s largest customer and three largest customers collectively as a percentage of total net sales was
