LIQUIDITY

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $39,568 and working capital of $25,846. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $83,385, $201,318, and $203,693, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company used cash in operating activities of $30,857, $48,291, and $97,570, respectively.

 

The Company has not yet achieved profitability and expects to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. While the BlinkForward Initiative (as defined elsewhere) has substantially decreased operating expenses and cash burn, in the near future the Company needs to generate significant additional product revenues to achieve profitability. Historically, the Company has been able to raise funds to support business operations, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. The Company expects that cash and cash equivalents will fund operations for at least 12 months after the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Annual Report.

 

Historically, the Company has been able to raise funds to support its business operations. Our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. The Company believes it has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds raised will enable the Company to complete its EV development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

Public Offerings

 

In December 2025, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 26,666,666 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share. The Company received approximately $20,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering, and approximately $18,526 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid - in capital. The public offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on December 4, 2025, and final prospectus dated December 10, 2025. H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Roth Capital Partners acted as co-placement agents in connection with the offering.

 

In February 2023, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 8,333,333 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received approximately $100,000 in gross proceeds from the public offering and approximately $95,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by the Company which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid - in capital.

 

At- The- Market Offerings

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 681,330 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $909, less issuance costs of $18, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 8,970,010 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $27,004, less issuance costs of $608 which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. See Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity.

 

BlinkForward Initiative

 

In May 2025, the Company announced the BlinkForward Initiative as part of a broader strategic restructuring plan aimed at accelerating the Company’s path to profitability and enhancing operational efficiency. Key pillars of the BlinkForward Initiative were designed to transform the Company into a more agile and lean organization. This included a significant reduction in our global workforce, reductions in other operating, general and administrative expenses, and a shift to contract manufacturing for EV hardware to reduce overhead expenses and focus on intellectual property and customer support efforts. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blink Charging Co. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, together with amounts disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements. The Company’s significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, accounts receivable reserves, net realizable value of inventory, goodwill impairment analysis, the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, intangible assets impairment analysis, right-of-use assets and related leases payable, derivative liabilities and the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets and consideration payable. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

 

Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities to meet the definition of financial instruments. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or payment. The carrying amount of consideration payable (excluding the amounts related to the Envoy common stock consideration payable) approximates its fair value as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. The common stock consideration payable related to the Envoy acquisition was settled during 2025.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments such as money market funds and deposits held at major banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, which is determined at the date of purchase. The Company has cash on deposit in several financial institutions which, at times, may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of its financial institutions. The Company reduces its credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $5,384 and $10,052, respectively, held in foreign financial institutions.

RESTRICTED CASH

 

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded as restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

The Company had marketable securities of $0 and $13,630 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These securities consist primarily of mutual funds and will be used for future working capital needs.

 

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. The Company carries all “available-for-sale securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders’ equity until disposition or maturity. The Company carries all “trading securities” at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, recorded in other income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. There were no marketable securities as of December 31, 2025. The marketable securities were all classified as trading as of December 31, 2024. Marketable securities are stated at fair value.

 

The below table provides supplemental information related to marketable securities:

    2025     2024     2023  
    For the Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2025     2024     2023  
Net gains recognized during the period on trading securities   $ 39     $ 79     $ 76  
Less: net gains recognized during the period on trading securities sold during the period     (39 )     (40 )     (25 )
Unrealized gains recognized during the reporting period on trading securities still held at the reporting date   $ -     $ 39     $ 51  

 

ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

 

Accounts receivable are carried at their contractual amounts, less a provision for current expected credit losses. The reserve represents the Company’s best estimate of expected credit losses it may experience in the Company’s receivable portfolio. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was an allowance for expected credit losses of $10,445 and $8,426, respectively. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses based on an ongoing review of existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, historical trends in credit losses, and the amount and age of past due accounts.

 

The table below illustrates the change in the allowance for expected credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

 

    2025     2024     2023  
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses                        
Beginning balance as of January 1,   $ 8,426     $ 6,750     $ 2,548

INVENTORY

 

Inventory is comprised of electric charging stations, related parts and components, sub-components, sub-assemblies and finished products. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of revenues and inventory that is installed on the premises of participating owner/operator properties, where the Company retains ownership, is transferred to property and equipment at the carrying value of the inventory. Cost of parts and components include the purchase and related costs incurred in bringing the products to their present location and condition. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete, if any, are written down to net realizable value. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $5,532 of finished goods that were available for sale and $8,621 of raw material and work in process. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s inventory was comprised of $16,987 of finished goods that were available for sale and $19,621 of raw material and work in process. The provisions for slow moving and obsolete inventory are included within cost of product sales on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The table below illustrates the change in the reserve for slow-moving or excess inventory for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

 

    2025     2024     2023  
Inventory Reserve

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost or fair value at the date of acquisition for property and equipment acquired in a business combination, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization which is recorded commencing at the in-service date using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Asset   Useful Lives
(In Years)
 
Electric vehicle charging stations   3-8  
Software   3-7  
Automobiles   3-5  
Office and computer equipment   5  
Leasehold improvements   7-8  
Machinery and equipment   6  

 

When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. Minor additions and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Major additions and repairs which extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives.

 

EV charging stations represent the cost, net of accumulated depreciation, of charging equipment and installation of the charging equipment that has been installed on the premises of participating owner/operator properties or are earmarked to be installed.

 

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by monitoring current selling prices of car charging units in the open market, the adoption rate of various auto manufacturers in the EV market and projected car charging utilization at various public car charging stations throughout its network in determining fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

 

Electric vehicle charging requirements and technologies periodically change, driven by federal, state or local regulatory authorities or by electric vehicle manufacturers or other technology or services providers for the charging station industry, in particular cellular connectivity technology. When such changes occur, the Company may need to upgrade or adapt its charging station products or introduce new products to serve new vehicles, conform to new standards, or adapt new technologies to serve existing customers or new customers at substantial research, development, and network upgrades costs.

 

No impairment charges were recorded on property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

 

See Note 4 – Property and Equipment for additional details.

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly.

 

The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether goodwill may be impaired. These judgments include significant assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units, such as projected revenues and related growth rates, projected operating margins and operating cash flows, discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year, initially utilizing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

 

See Note 6 - Goodwill for further information.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Identifiable intangible assets primarily include trade name, internal use software, customer relationships, internally developed technology, capitalized engineering costs and non-compete agreements. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company will compare the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model.

 

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

The Company initially measures an asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assesses the fair value of an asset less costs to sell each reporting period that it remains classified as held for sale, and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale.

 

Underperforming Subsidiary

 

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan for the sale of underperforming assets of a subsidiary. On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell installed and inventory charging units and the associated agreements with existing customers, hosts, and drivers. This transaction was completed and funded on July 3, 2024. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $945 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included in operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected not to present this underperforming subsidiary as discontinued operations because it is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Euro, Indian Rupee, and Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date $1.1739 for the Euro, $0.0111 for the Indian Rupee and $1.3438 for the Pound Sterling as of December 31, 2025; $1.04131 for the Euro, $.0117 for the Indian Rupee and $1.2551 for the Pound Sterling as of December 31, 2024.

 

Expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period $1.1317 for the Euro, $0.0115 for the Indian Rupee and $1.3204 for the Pound Sterling during the year ended December 31, 2025; $1.0439 for the Euro, $0.0117 for the Indian Rupee and $1.2852 for the Pound Sterling during the year ended December 31, 2024; $1.0980 for the Euro, $0.0120 for the Indian Rupee and $1.2664 for the Pound Sterling during the year ended December 31, 2023; Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above. Transaction gains (losses) attributable to foreign exchange were $1,419, ($363), and $140, and are included within general and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Currency translation adjustments attributable to foreign exchange were ($2,886), ($3,309), and $510 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from four different types of contracts with customers:

 

Product salesRevenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer or installation of the product.
   
Charging service revenueThe Company generates charging service revenue from fees charged to users for the use of charging stations, including per-session connection fees and usage-based charges. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when a particular charging session is completed.
   
WarrantyExtended warranties represent a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a gross basis on a straight-line basis over the contract term. The Company also facilitates the sale of third-party warranties for which it acts as an agent; accordingly, revenue from third-party warranties is recognized on a net basis at the point in time of sale. Further, standard warranties are generally not accounted for as separate performance obligations as warranties do not provide a service in addition to the assurance that the charging stations will function as expected.
   
Network fees and warrantyRepresents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
   
OtherPrimarily related to transaction fees recognized at a point in time. Other revenues are also comprised of sales related to alternative fuel credits.
   
Car-sharing servicesRelate to revenues and expenses from electric vehicle-sharing and electric vehicle charging services provided to apartments, offices and hotels for use by their residents and guests and are recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is recognized over the duration of the rental agreement which are short term in nature.
   
Grant and fees rebateGrants and rebates related to EV charging stations and associated installation costs are accounted for by analogy to IAS 20. Grant proceeds are initially deferred and recognized in revenue in a manner consistent with the terms of the grant.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – CONTINUED

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. Payment terms are generally thirty days. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from numerous contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the product or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the observable price for which the Company would sell the product or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as a bundled sale with any other products or services). The allocation of transaction price among separate performance obligations may impact the timing of revenue recognition but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $17,282 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects to satisfy $12,137 of its remaining performance obligations for network fees, warranty revenue, product sales, and other and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $22,138 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense costs to obtain contracts at the time the liability is incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods as specified by ASC 606-10-50-12A.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $744, $211, and $214, respectively, of revenue related to alternative fuel credits, which is included within other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – CONTINUED

 

Car-sharing services relate to revenues and expenses from electric vehicle-sharing and electric vehicle charging services provided to apartments, offices and hotels for use by their residents and guests and are recognized in accordance with ASC 842. The Company provides electric vehicles to be available for use and the contracting locations are invoiced on a monthly or quarterly basis under the terms of the agreement signed with each respective customer. Revenue is also derived from parties who schedule use of electric vehicles that are not provided specifically for exclusive use to a particular customer under an ongoing existing contractual arrangement. The Company accounts for such rentals as operating leases. The lease terms are included in the Company’s contracts, and the determination of whether the Company’s contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. The Company’s lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments. The Company does not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented vehicle at the end of the lease.

 

The Company is unsure of when the customer will return the vehicles. As such, the Company does not know how much the customer will owe upon return of the vehicle and, therefore, cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. The Company’s vehicles are generally rented for short periods of time (generally a few hours). Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented vehicles. The Company’s vehicles are typically rented for the majority of the time that the Company owns or leases the underlying vehicle.

 

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

 

The Company receives grants from federal, state, and foreign government agencies related to capital investments in electric vehicle charging equipment The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money should be recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant. Government grants whose primary condition is the purchase, construction, or acquisition of a long-lived asset are considered asset-based grants and are recognized as a liability. Other government grants not related to long-lived assets are considered income-based grants, which are initially recognized as “Government grants receivable” and are also recognized as a reduction to the related cost of activities that generated the benefit. Proceeds received from asset-based grants are presented as cash inflows from investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows, whereas proceeds received from income-based grants are presented as cash inflows from operating activities. Private and government grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the recognition of the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives.

 

Grant receivables are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and then is recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company computes the fair value of equity-classified warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

LEASES

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company provides charging services at designated locations on the host’s property at which the charging station is situated. In consideration thereof, the host shares in the monthly revenue generated by the charging station on a percentage basis. As the charging station monthly revenue generated is variable, the host’s monthly revenue derived there from is similarly variable. These arrangements contain embedded lease arrangements to place charging equipment in designated space located on the host’s site in exchange for variable lease payments based on revenue-sharing provisions, which are expensed as incurred in host provider fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components in the measurement of liabilities for all asset classes. The Company expenses variable lease payments as incurred.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, since it is more likely than not that the future tax benefit on such temporary differences will not be realized.

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain income 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 tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement by examining taxing authorities. The Company has open tax years going back to 2021 (or the tax year ended December 31, 2009 if the Company were to utilize its NOLs) which will be subject to audit by federal and state authorities upon filing. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain income tax positions in interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

 

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

    2025     2024     2023  
    For the Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2025     2024     2023  
Warrants     3,245,059       -       1,150,152  
Options     -       -       982,844  
Restricted stock units     1,474,443       1,160,667       -  
Total potentially dilutive shares     4,719,502       1,160,667       2,132,996  

 

In addition, 1,932,682 and 1,150,152 warrants for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 496,600 and 986,165 options for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded from the above table because their exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods, and would have been anti-dilutive regardless of the Company’s net loss position.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

 

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires additional disclosures in the footnotes that disaggregate certain expenses presented on the face of the income statement. This standard is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Retrospective application to comparative periods is optional, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments provide a practical expedient that permits entities to assume that current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts for estimating expected credit losses under ASC 326. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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. This ASU modernizes the accounting guidance for internal-use software by eliminating the previous project-stage model and replacing it with a “probable-to-complete” threshold. It also relocates and supersedes the guidance for website development costs (previously in Subtopic 350-50) into Subtopic 350-40, and requires entities to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements in Subtopic 360-10 to capitalized internal-use software costs regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer. This ASU refines the scope of Topic 815 to exclude certain contracts whose underlyings are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties, rather than on general market variables, and clarifies the accounting for share-based noncash consideration received from a customer under Topic 606. The amendments specify that an entity should apply the revenue guidance to share-based consideration until the right to receive or retain that consideration becomes unconditional, at which point subsequent changes in fair value are recognized outside of revenue. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifications on Scope and Application. This ASU provides targeted clarifications to the scope and application of Topic 815, including refinements related to the assessment of whether certain contracts meet the definition of a derivative. The amendments are intended to reduce complexity and diversity in practice by clarifying existing guidance rather than introducing new accounting requirements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Targeted Disclosure Improvements. This ASU enhances existing disclosure requirements related to financial instruments, including clarifications and refinements intended to improve the relevance and transparency of information provided to financial statement users. The amendments focus primarily on disclosure presentation and do not change the recognition or measurement of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which adds guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has previously analogized to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, to account for refundable tax credits as an income grant. The Company’s existing policy on grants under IAS 20 aligns with the updated guidance, and the Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU clarifies and reorganizes interim reporting disclosure requirements by introducing a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose significant events and changes in circumstances that occur during interim periods. The amendments are intended to improve the consistency, usefulness, and understandability of interim financial reporting by focusing disclosures on matters that are material to an understanding of the entity’s financial position, cash flows, and results of operations. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. The amendments are effective for all joint ventures within the ASU’s scope that are formed on or after January 1, 2025. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures that reflect how operations and related tax risks, as well as how tax planning and operational opportunities, affect the tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis and have included the relevant disclosures in Note 12, Income Taxes.
