The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Combined Company (CID Holdco) after giving effect to the Business Combination as of March 31, 2025 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Combined Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 present the combination of the financial information of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp and See ID, after giving effect to the Business Combination and related adjustments including the other material events described in the accompanying notes. SholderUP Acquisition Corp and See ID are collectively referred to herein as the “Companies,” and the Companies, subsequent to the Business Combination, are referred to herein as the Combined Company or New See ID.
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if these had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if these were completed on March 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of each of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 7,2025, and See ID, elsewhere in the filing, and the notes thereto, as well as the disclosures contained in the sections titled “ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “See ID’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. Since New See ID does not meet the definition of a business under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, net assets of New See ID was stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. See ID has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances, and accordingly the Business Combination is treated as an equivalent to an acquisition of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp accompanied by a recapitalization:
● | See ID’ existing shareholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity under the maximum redemption scenario with an approximately 58.77% voting interest; |
● | the largest individual minority shareholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of See ID; |
● | senior management of See ID continue as senior management of the combined entity; |
● | See ID is the larger entity based on historical total assets and revenues; and |
● | See ID’ operations, prior to the Business Combination, comprises the ongoing operations of New See ID. |

On June 20, 2025 an additional 1.125 million shares were allocated from the SUTA founder’s as compensation for the ShoulderUp and Holdings failure to consummate the PIPE Financing as contemplated in section 7.17 of the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 18, 2024. Under the amended terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the shareholders of See ID received from New ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp, in the aggregate, a number of shares of New ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp equal to (a) the See ID Value (as defined below) divided by (b) $10.00. The See ID Value will be equal to $171.2 million less net indebtedness (aggregate consolidated amount of indebtedness of See ID minus cash) (the “See ID Value”).
Basis of Presentation
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, whereby ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp is treated as the acquired company and See ID is treated as the acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of See ID issuing stock for the net assets of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp was stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the period prior to the Business Combination were those of See ID.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the Business Combination.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
● | ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp’ unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement; and |
● | See ID’ unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. |
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
● | ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp’ unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement; and |
● | See ID’ unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. |
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
● | ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp’ audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement; and |

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Merger. Certain transactions, specifically the transaction expenses recognized by SUTA and See ID in the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 are not expected to recur in the statement of operations of the combined entity subsequent to the consummation of the business combination. Furthermore, while the Combined Company would be subject to tax at the corporate level subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company would be in a net loss position which would result in a deferred tax asset which has been determined to not be more likely than not to be realized. Thus, the Combined Company would not have an income tax benefit. Accordingly, no adjustments for the income tax impact of any transaction accounting adjustments have been reflected.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Business Combination are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the current time and that the proforma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp and See ID.
Accounting Policies
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of ShoulderUP Acquisition Corp. and See ID accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 2 — Net Loss per Share
Represents the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2024. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. As the maximum number of shares were redeemed, this calculation was retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. See ID options which rolled over to New See ID were excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share as such shares are not outstanding. The calculation of diluted loss per ordinary shares does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
