DATA STORAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, Organization and Other Matters

Headquartered in New York, NY, Data Storage Corporation (“DSC” or the “Company”) is focused on strategic investments and supporting businesses in high-growth technology sectors, including, but not limited to, GPU IaaS, AI-driven software applications, cybersecurity and telecommunications.

On July 11, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its cloud solutions business, which consisted of the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., including substantially all of the assets held by CloudFirst Technologies Corporation (the “Cloud Solutions Business”). The sale was approved by the Company’s shareholders on September 10, 2025, and the transaction officially closed on September 11, 2025.

As described in Note 3, the operating results of the Cloud Solutions Business have been classified as discontinued operations. The Company’s continuing operations consist of the operations of the Company’s Nexxis Inc. (“Nexxis”) subsidiary, which provides voice and data telecommunications solutions. Unless otherwise noted, the following footnotes pertain to the Company’s continuing operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2026.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, consisting of (i) Information Technology Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation; and (ii) its majority-owned subsidiary, Nexxis Inc., a Nevada corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On September 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Cloud Solutions Business, which consisted of the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd. The operating results of these businesses have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. In evaluating operating segments, the Company considers: its internal organizational structure; the availability of separate financial information; and the criteria used by the Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance. The Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment: Nexxis, Inc.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. Subsequently, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments in this pronouncement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on its financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. This ASU provides guidance for determining the accounting acquirer in a business combination involving a variable interest entity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact upon adoption.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“Topic 326”), which provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and contract assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which revises the recognition guidance for internal-use software by eliminating the previous model based on software development stages and introducing a principles-based approach. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their respective fair values.

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

●

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

●

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

●

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Company’s marketable securities are classified as within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at March 31, 2026, approximates their carrying value as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Additionally, the Company has an investment in common stock of a public company which is valued using Level 1 inputs (see Note 7).

Level 3 fair value measurements are derived from valuation techniques that include significant inputs that are not based on observable market data. When required, the Company uses discounted and undiscounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. These models rely on unobservable inputs, which reflect management’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are significant to the overall fair value measurement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a warrant liability associated with Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued by the Company on July 21, 2021, which were valued using Level 3 inputs (See Note 5).

As of March 31, 2026, the Company does not have assets and liabilities valued using Level 2 inputs.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures property and equipment at fair value on a non-recurring basis in periods after initial measurement in circumstances when the fair value of such assets are impaired below their recorded cost. As of March 31, 2026, there were no material non-financial assets recorded at fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in marketable securities:


	For the three months ended March 31, 2026

As of January 1, 2026	$	39,004,124
Purchases		128,113
Sales		(29,560,400	)
As of March 31, 2026	$	9,571,837

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company utilized $29,528,957 of the proceeds from the sales of marketable securities to repurchase shares of common stock of the Company from its shareholders in connection with the tender offer which closed on January 15, 2026 (see Note 5).

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, marketable securities and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and marketable securities are maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company’s customers are concentrated in the United States.

The Company’s Nexxis subsidiary had one customer that individually accounted for 41% of consolidated accounts receivable at March 31, 2026. The Company’s Nexxis subsidiary had four customers that individually accounted for 25%, 21%, 15%, and 10% of consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2025. No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026. One customer accounted for 13% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Treasury Stock

The Company recognizes repurchases of outstanding shares of its common stock at cost. Upon their repurchase, these shares are classified as treasury stock, which is a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Repurchased common shares are held as treasury stock until they are retired or re-issued. Treasury stock is included in shares authorized and issued but excluded from shares outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s continuing operations derive all revenue from its Nexxis subsidiary, which provides Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”), Internet access, and data transport services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company’s contracts are typically monthly subscription agreements. For these contracts, the Company has a single performance obligation: to provide continuous access to its VoIP, Internet, and/or data transport services over the contract term. This performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided.

Revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable monthly service period. The Company’s standard payment terms are monthly, and the transaction price is the fixed monthly subscription fee. Because the billing cycle corresponds directly to the service period, the Company does not have significant contract assets or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) at the end of a reporting period. All revenue from continuing operations is transacted in the United States in U.S. dollars.

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by major product category:

Schedule of revenue
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

VoIP services	$	124,323	$	130,931
Data transport services		207,978		169,640
Other		14,406		12,173
Total revenue	$	346,707	$	312,744

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as they are incurred. The Company incurred $8,348 and $1,733 of advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the information needed to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

Weighted average number of common shares - basic		3,104,660		7,077,913
Dilutive securities
Options		—		—
Restricted stock units		—		—
Weighted average number of common shares - diluted		3,104,660		7,077,913

The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. Therefore, dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued since their effect is anti-dilutive for these periods. The following table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock excluded from net income (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive:

Schedule of anti-dilutive shares
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Options		75,077		702,393
Warrants		1,637,110		2,495,860
Restricted stock units		29,793		167,090
		1,741,980		3,365,343

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

On September 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Cloud Solutions Business, which consisted of the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., for a base purchase price of $40,000,000. At closing, the proceeds were contractually adjusted for a $1,500,000 escrow deposit and $431,537 in net adjustments for estimated closing date debt and working capital, resulting in total cash received at closing of $38,068,463. The transaction remains subject to final post-closing adjustments as of March 31, 2026. On May 7, 2026, the Company and the buyer of the Cloud Solutions Business (the “Buyer”) finalized closing date debt and working capital adjustments, and as a result, the Company recorded $225,937 in consideration due from the Buyer, which is included as a component of Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, in connection with the settlement, $500,000 will be released from escrow to the Company in the second quarter of 2026.

The operating results of these businesses have been reclassified and presented as “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented as the sale represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The sale resulted in the removal of the CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd. reportable segments, and the Company has no significant continuing involvement with the divested businesses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $148,991 ($94,644, net of a $54,347 tax provision) related to the sale of its Cloud Solutions Business, consisting primarily of the final post-closing adjustments of $225,937, offset by incremental taxes and fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 directly related to the sale.

Operating results for the discontinued operations were as follows:


	Three Months Ended

Note 5 – Stockholders’ Equity

Capital Stock

The Company has 260,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Stock Incentive Plans

On March 8, 2021, the Company’s Board and stockholders owning in excess of 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities approved and adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan permits the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock units, and other awards at levels determined appropriate by the Company’s Board and/or compensation committee. The 2021 Plan also allows the Company to utilize a broad array of equity incentives and performance cash incentives to secure and retain the services of its employees, directors, and consultants, and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of its employees, directors and consultants with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. An aggregate of 2,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued under the 2021 Plan, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of future stock splits, and other capital changes. As of March 31, 2026, there were 101,691 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

Additionally, there are 6,250 options outstanding and exercisable under the Data Storage Corporation 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “2010 Plan”) as of March 31, 2026. The 2010 Plan expired on October 21, 2020, and accordingly, there are no shares available for future grants.

Common Stock Options

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information follows:


	Number of		Weighted		Weighted
	Shares		Average		Average
	Under		Exercise		Contractual
	Options		Price		Life
Options Outstanding at January 1, 2026		223,656	$	3.20		5.03

Options Exercisable at March 31, 2026		223,656	$	3.20		4.79

On February 13, 2026, the Company granted stock options to purchase up to 250,000 and 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The stock options will vest one-third on each of May 20, 2027, May 20, 2028, and May 20, 2029.

Share-based compensation expense recognized for stock options granted totaled $33,742 and $24,219 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was $961,295 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee stock options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.

The intrinsic value of outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2026, and 2025 was $237,872 and $798,073, respectively.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation for instruments with a similar expected term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of the Company’s stock over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

The weighted average fair value of options granted, and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, are set forth in the table below:


	2026			2025
Weighted average fair value of stock options granted	$	4.69		$	4.61
Risk-free interest rate		3.57	%		4.35%-4.47	%
Volatility		81	%		77%-122	%
Expected life (years)		4.46 years			3.50-6.00 years
Dividend yield		—	%		—	%

Share-based awards, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

On January 29, 2026, the Company granted its Board members an aggregate of 90,000 RSUs which will vest in full on the date of the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

On January 29, 2026, the Company granted 10,000 restricted stock units to an employee which will vest in full on May 20, 2026.

On February 9, 2026, the Company granted a discretionary equity award of 160,600 restricted stock units to its Chief Executive Officer which will vest in full on May 20, 2026.

On February 13, 2026, the Company granted 60,000 restricted stock units to each of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, for a total of 120,000 restricted stock units which will vest one-third on each of May 20, 2027, May 20, 2028, and May 20, 2029.

A summary of the activity related to share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026, is presented below:

Schedule of activity related to RSUs
Share-based awards (RSUs)	Shares		Fair Value

Common Stock Warrants

A summary of the Company’s warrant activity and related information follows:


							Weighted
	Number of		Range of		Weighted		Average
	Shares Under		Exercise Price		Average		Contractual
	Warrants		Per Share		Exercise Price		Life
Warrants Outstanding at January 1, 2026		1,637,110		$6.15-$7.43	$	7.30		0.77

Warrants Outstanding at March 31, 2026		1,637,110		$6.15-$7.43	$	7.30		0.26

Warrants Exercisable at March 31, 2026		1,637,110		$6.15-$7.43	$	7.30		0.26

Included in warrants outstanding at March 31, 2026, are warrants to purchase up to 1,464,610 shares of Common Stock which expire on May 18, 2026. The intrinsic value of all outstanding warrants as of March 31, 2026, and 2025 was $0.

Description of July 2021 Warrants and Fundamental Transaction

Included in warrants outstanding as of January 1, 2026 were Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to 172,500 shares of Common Stock issued by the Company on July 21, 2021 to institutional investors (the “July 2021 Warrants”). The outstanding July 2021 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share, and contain a “Fundamental Transaction” provision, the definition of which, among other actions, states that upon a tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) being completed pursuant to which holders of the Company’s common stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, holders could elect to receive a cash payment equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as such term is defined in the July 2021 Warrants) of their July 2021 Warrants (the “Put Right”). On January 15, 2026, the Company completed a tender offer in which greater than 50% of the then outstanding common shares were repurchased by the Company. The completion of the tender offer constituted a Fundamental Transaction, which triggered the cash-settlement provision for all outstanding July 2021 Warrants.

As of December 31, 2025, the July 2021 Warrants were classified as equity, since the warrants did not obligate the Company (conditionally or unconditionally) to repurchase the shares underlying the warrants or issue a variable number of shares, were indexed to the Company’s Common Stock, and met the criteria for classification in equity as defined in ASC 815. The triggering of the cash-settlement provision on January 15, 2026, required the outstanding July 2021 Warrants to be reclassified from equity to a liability at their fair value, therefore the Company recognized an initial warrant liability of $300,533, with a corresponding decrease to Additional Paid-in Capital. Effective February 16, 2026, the 30-day period for holders to elect a cash settlement expired, and the holders of the outstanding July 2021 Warrants did not exercise the Put Right. As a result, the Company remeasured the remaining liability balance, recognizing a gain on remeasurement of $150,458 as a component of Other Income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the remaining liability of $150,075 was reclassified to Additional Paid-in Capital.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no liability associated with these warrants.

The fair value of the warrant liability is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the liability were as follows:


Assumption	2026

Following the sale of its Cloud Solutions Business, which consisted of the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., on September 11, 2025 (Note 3), the Company operates in one reportable segment: Nexxis, Inc. The CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd. reportable segments were removed as a result of the sale of the Cloud Solutions Business.

The Company’s segment was determined based on its internal organizational structure, the manner in which its operations are managed, and the criteria used by the Company’s CODM which is its Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance, which is generally the segment’s operating income or losses.

Sale of CloudFirst Business

On September 11, 2025, we closed the sale of the CloudFirst business, for which we received $38,068,463 in cash. This amount was based on a contractual base purchase price of $40,000,000, adjusted at closing for a $1,500,000 escrow deposit and $431,537 in net adjustments for estimated closing date debt and working capital. After taking into account selling expenses, estimated taxes on the sale, and other transaction costs, our net proceeds from the sale were $31,600,873.

Recent Developments

Tender Offer

As part of our strategy to return value to our shareholders following the sale of the CloudFirst business, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined to engage in a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to repurchase from our shareholders up to 85% of our outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), using 85% of our cash on hand on the date of commencement of the Tender Offer, inclusive of the net sale proceeds received in connection with the sale of the CloudFirst business, net of certain expenses and taxes.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, based on the final count, on January 15, 2026, we accepted for purchase 5,625,129 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.20 per share, for an aggregate cost of $29,250,671, excluding fees, excise taxes, and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. The shares accepted for purchase represent approximately 72.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 8, 2025. Following payment for the tendered shares, we had 2,167,138 shares of Common Stock outstanding. After completing the Tender Offer and related payments, we retained over $10.0 million in cash. Included in the tendered shares were an aggregate of 895,876 shares of Common Stock tendered by our directors and officers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Following the sale of our cloud solutions business on September 11, 2025, which consisted of the operations of our subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., our continuing operations consist solely of our Nexxis subsidiary. The historical operations of the divested business have been reclassified and are presented as “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accordingly, the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations focuses on our continuing operations (Nexxis) for the periods presented.

Three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to March 31, 2025

Sales and Gross Profit

Sales from continuing operations were $346,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $33,963, or 10.9%, compared to $312,744 in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to continued growth in our Nexxis voice and data solutions business, driven by the addition of new customers and increased spending from existing customers. Revenue growth during the period reflects continued demand for our voice and data connectivity solutions and expansion of services within our existing customer base.

In addition, revenue generated from existing customers increased year over year, reflecting higher utilization of our services and incremental service adoption. The Company also continued to diversify its customer base during the year.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $186,019, an increase of $45,242, or 32.1%, compared to $140,777 in the prior period. Our gross profit margin improved to 53.7% from 45.0% in the prior period, driven by favorable sales mix and operating leverage.

Total Operating Expenses	$	1,472,113	$	856,915	$	615,198			71.8	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $615,198, or 71.8%, to $1,472,113 from $856,915 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $424,808, or 311.0%, increase in non-cash stock-based compensation as a result of grants to certain employees during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Professional fees increased $134,733, or 73.6%, attributable to higher fees paid relating to legal and consulting services during the period.

Loss from continuing operations, net of tax. Loss from continuing operations, net of tax was $768,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of $595,232 in the prior year period. The higher loss was primarily driven by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $118,385, compared to $120,906 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Other Income. Other income was $119,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which represents the non-cash adjustments related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability offset by the change in fair value of equity investment during the period.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the gain on sale of discontinued operations was $148,991, primarily related to the final post-closing adjustment of $225,937, partially offset by taxes and fees directly related to the sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, pre-tax income from the operations of the CloudFirst business was $621,620.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

To the extent we are successful in identifying potential acquisition targets and negotiating the terms of such acquisitions, and where the purchase price may include a cash component, we expect to use our working capital and the proceeds of any financing we may engage in to finance such acquisition costs.

Our conclusion concerning our liquidity is based on current information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, we may not be able to meet our liquidity needs, which may require a reduction in selling general and administrative expenses, including salaries for officers that are major shareholders.

The Company’s working capital (excluding the amounts payable to the purchaser of the CloudFirst business included as discontinued operations and income taxes payable) in the Company’s continuing operations was $11,052,387 on March 31, 2026, decreasing by $30,732,066 from $41,784,453 at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the sale of marketable securities during the period of $29,560,400, which was largely used for the purchase of shares and payment of costs totaling $29,528,957 in connection with the Tender Offer. The marketable securities utilized for the Tender Offer were originally purchased using net proceeds from the sale of the CloudFirst business in the second half of the year ended December 31, 2025.

Tender Offer and Resulting Cash Position

On December 8, 2025, we commenced a fixed price tender offer to purchase up to 6,192,990 shares of our Common Stock at a maximum aggregate purchase price of $32.2 million. The Tender Offer expired on January 12, 2026, and on January 15, 2026, we accepted for purchase 5,625,129 shares of Common Stock at $5.20 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $29,250,671, excluding fees, excise taxes, and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. Following payment for the tendered shares, we had 2,167,138 shares outstanding and retained over $10.0 million in cash.

On May 7, 2026, the Company and the buyer of the Cloud Solutions Business (the “Buyer”) finalized closing date debt and working capital adjustments, and as a result, the Company recorded $225,937 in consideration due from the Buyer, which is included as a component of Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, in connection with the settlement, $500,000 will be released to the Company from escrow in the second quarter of 2026.

Impact on Liquidity, Capital Allocation, and Future Obligations

The Tender Offer significantly reduced our outstanding share count and utilized a substantial portion of our cash resources. However:

●

We remained well capitalized following completion of the Tender Offer, with more than $10.0 million in cash and no material near-term debt maturities.

●

We did not incur additional indebtedness to fund the Tender Offer.

●

We continue to evaluate capital allocation alternatives, including preservation of liquidity for operations.

We believe our current cash position and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, and operating commitments for at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Working Capital and Cash Flow Considerations

Our liquidity profile is primarily driven by cash on hand remaining after the Tender Offer, and careful management of operating and capital expenditures. We are actively managing expenses and have reduced corporate spending to align with our smaller portfolio and strategic transition.

Outlook

We expect that our current liquidity, together with anticipated cash flows, will support operational needs. We expect that we may also pursue additional sources of liquidity, including:

●

reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses, and

●

potential changes in our investment strategy.

We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and capital market trends, including impacts on financing availability.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $1,778,062 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $137,528 for the prior year period. The cash used in 2026 was primarily driven by the loss from continuing operations, net of tax, of $768,258 and cash paid for income taxes of $1,024,137 related to the sale of the CloudFirst business during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations was $29,432,287 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $852,938 for the prior year period. The cash provided in 2026 was driven by marketable securities, as reflected in purchases of $128,113 and sales of $29,560,400 during the period.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $29,528,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0 for the prior year period. The significant cash use in 2026 represents our purchase, on January 15, 2026, of 5,625,129 shares of Common Stock in the Tender Offer, at a purchase price of $5.20 per share, for an aggregate cost of $29,250,671, excluding fees, excise taxes, and expenses relating to the Tender Offer, using funds from sales of marketable securities. The repurchased shares are now held as treasury stock, as reflected in our unaudited financial statements attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash used in discontinued operations was $1,080,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents the net cash flows from the CloudFirst business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results, the Company considers, and is including herein, Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure. The Company views Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and, as such, the Company believes that the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is loss from continuing operations, net of tax. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as loss from continuing operations, net of tax adjusted for income taxes, interest and financing fees, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash income and expenses. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors, debt holders and others to evaluate and compare ongoing operating results from period to period by removing the impact of the Company’s asset base, any asset disposals or impairments, stock-based compensation and other non-cash income and expense items associated with its reliance on issuing equity-linked debt securities to fund its working capital.

The Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of its results as reported under GAAP, as the excluded items may have significant effects on its operating results and financial condition. Additionally, the Company’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other companies’ measure of Adjusted EBITDA. When evaluating the Company’s performance, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered with other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and other GAAP results. In the future, the Company may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help its investors and others more meaningfully evaluate and compare the Company’s future results of operations to its previously reported results of operations.

The following table shows the Company’s reconciliation of loss from continuing operations, net of tax to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025:

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company believes that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. There are accounting policies, each of which requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management, that the Company believes are significant to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates that affect the consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described under Part II, Item 7 of the 2025 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company this item is not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act defines “disclosure controls and procedures” as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. As set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on the evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Identification of Material Weakness

In connection with the preparation of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the accounting and disclosure of significant and unusual transactions—specifically, those arising from the divestiture of a material portion of our business. Our controls were not effectively designed to ensure a complete and accurate technical review of the complex accounting and tax elements associated with this transaction.

This deficiency identified during the third quarter of 2025 resulted in an error related to the income tax implications of the divestiture. Subsequently, in connection with the preparation of the 2025 Annual Report, we identified an additional error stemming from the same material weakness regarding the treatment of certain warrants impacted by the divestiture. Specifically, on September 11, 2025, the closing of the divestiture triggered a cash-settlement provision within our Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued by the Company on July 21, 2021 to institutional investors (the “July 2021 Warrants”), requiring them to be reclassified from equity to a liability at fair value. We determined that the initial recognition of the $2,461,663 warrant liability was incorrectly recorded in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as a component of Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, rather than as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital.

Accordingly, within the 2025 Annual Report, we restated certain financial statements previously included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, to reflect the initial recognition of the July 2021 warrant liability as a debit to equity, with subsequent changes in fair value of the warrant liability recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, this material weakness has not been remediated.

In order to remediate this material weakness, management has implemented the following actions to strengthen our internal control environment:

●

Enhancing internal review procedures to ensure that significant and unusual transactions are identified, analyzed, and reviewed with appropriate rigor each quarter.

●

Engaging appropriate internal and external resources to support the evaluation of complex transactions, where specialized expertise is required.

●

Providing targeted training to relevant personnel on the accounting and disclosure requirements for significant and unusual transactions.

Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation efforts and will make further adjustments to the plan as necessary to ensure the material weakness is fully addressed.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is in the process of remediating the material weaknesses identified and discussed above and in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of the 2025 Annual Report. Other than as set forth above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to it, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could potentially be forward-looking. We caution that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A in the 2025 Annual Report.
