SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in 2024 have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation to reflect discontinued operations.

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include:

 

  Useful lives of property, plant, and equipment.
     
  Assumptions used in valuing debt or equity instruments.
     
  Deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.
     
  Assessment of long-lived assets impairment.
     
  Assumptions used in the aviation asset put/call option.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and restricted cash

 

Cash consists primarily of cash on hand and bank deposits. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits at times. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no cash equivalents besides what was in the cash balance as of that date. The Company had zero and $1.8 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, which served as collateral for the credit facility with SAC Leasing G280 LLC described in Note 11 below.

 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivables are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at the outstanding principal amount adjusted for any allowance for credit losses and any charge offs. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. This allowance is estimated based on historical collection experience, the aging of receivables, specific current and expected future macro-economic and market conditions, and assessments of the current creditworthiness and economic status of customers. The Company considers a receivable delinquent if it is unpaid after the term of the related invoice has expired. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $147 thousand and zero of bad debt expense, respectively.

 

 

Fixed assets

Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to seven years:

 

Classification  Life
Machinery and equipment  3-7 years
Automobiles  5 years
Computer and office equipment  5 years
Website development costs  3 years

 

Computer software development

Computer software development

 

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software. Internal software development costs are capitalized from the time the internal use software is considered probable of completion until the software is ready for use. Business analysis, system evaluation and software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The capitalized computer software development costs are reported under the section “Property and equipment, net” in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years from when the asset is placed in service. The Company capitalized $211 thousand and $142 thousand and of internal software development costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized $158 thousand and $132 thousand of amortization expense related to computer software development during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company also expenses internal costs related to minor upgrades and enhancements, as it is impractical to separate these costs from normal maintenance activities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company reduced the value of software development cost by $238 thousand, related to a non-monetary exchange with a third party and their use of our mission control software. This software development cost was originally developed for internal use and has subsequently been licensed to a third party in a non-monetary transaction.

 

Website development cost

Website development cost

 

The costs incurred for activities during the website application and infrastructure development stage are capitalized in accordance with the guidance on internal-use software in FASB ASC 350-40. The Company capitalized zero of website development costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized $97 thousand and $97 thousand of amortization expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Valuation of long-lived assets

Valuation of long-lived assets

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, property, plant, and equipment, and long-lived assets are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. No impairment was recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 820 (the “Fair Value Topic”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

The Company measures fair value under a framework that utilizes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to relevant valuation techniques. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs used in measuring fair value are:

 

  Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company as the ability to access.
     
  Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market date by correlation or other means; and
  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

  Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

On November 28, 2023, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”). The fair value of the Company’s recorded Forward Purchase Agreement was determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to determine the fair value as of December 31, 2023. The Company recorded the Forward Purchase Agreement at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. On July 23, 2024, the Company received notice of termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement and recognized an impairment in the value of the Forward Purchase Agreement in the second quarter of 2024 due to receipt of the termination notice. A loss of $3.0 million was recorded due to the cancellation of the Forward Purchase Agreement in 2024.

 

In December 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may issue a series of convertible notes for an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $36.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued a single convertible note in the principal amount of $4.5 million, (the “2024 Convertible Note”), of which $4.1 million was funded as of December 31, 2024, representing an original issue discount of ten percent. The Company elected the fair value guidance under ASC 825-10 and the 2024 Convertible Note was recognized at initial fair value as of the issuance date. The value of the 2024 Convertible Note at issuance approximated fair value as of December 31, 2024. Any issuances of additional convertible notes are subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Purchase Agreement (see Note 10).

 

On September 30, 2025, Company, entered into Share Exchange Agreements (the “Share Exchange Agreements”), with two investors (together the “Investors”). The Investors are shareholders of M2i whose common stock is publicly quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “MTWO”. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreements, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,197,604 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the Investors in exchange for an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of M2i common stock (the “Investment in M2i”). At the date of the exchange, the Company recognized a loss of $115 thousand in “Loss from change in fair value of financial instruments” on the consolidated statement of operations for the difference between the fair value of the Volato shares issued and the fair value of the Investment in M2i.

 

Pursuant to ASC 321, the Investment in M2i is measured at fair value each reporting period, with unrealized gain or loss recognized in earnings. The Investment in M2i is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, as it is based on quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets. The inputs are obtained from OTC quoted prices for level II. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of $753 thousand related to the change in fair value of the Investment in M2i.

 

 

On October 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Amendment with flyExclusive, as described in Note 1. As part of the amendment, flyExclusive agreed to pay $2.1 million in cash or shares of common stock to the Company for the net payables option and the proceeds from the sale of the fourth G280. flyExclusive issued the Company 432,099 shares of Class A common stock (the “Investment in flyExclusive”) in the fourth quarter of 2025. At the date of the exchange, the Company recognized a loss of $6.1 million in Other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 the Company recorded a loss of $41 thousand related to the change in the fair value of the Investment in flyExclusive.

 

Pursuant to ASC 321, the Investment in flyExclusive is measured at fair value each reporting period, with unrealized gain or loss recognized in earnings. The Investment in flyExclusive is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, as it is traded in an active market.

 

Additionally, with the signing of the Amendment with flyExclusive, as described in Note 1, it granted flyExclusive the right to purchase certain aviation-related assets from the Company and assume certain obligations of the Company and granted the Company the right to sell certain obligations of the Company to flyExclusive. The fair value of the Company’s recorded Aviation Asset Option was determined based on unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, which require a Level 3 classification. A Black-Scholes model was used to determine the fair value as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 the Company fair valued the aviation asset and recorded a gain on the asset of $324 thousand.

 

The following table presents balances of the fair value instruments as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in thousands:

The Company measured the Third and Fourth Tranche Notes using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using the following assumptions:

 

   Twelve months ended December 31, 2025 
   Third Tranche Note   Fourth Tranche Note 
Volume Weighted average stock price (“VWAP”)   0.65    0.65 
Simulation Period   0.56    0.79

Credit risk-adjusted rate   20.9%   20.9%
Risk-free Rate   3.58%   3.53%

 

The following table represents the change in the Aviation asset option for the twelve months ended, December 31, 2025:

 

   Aviation asset option 
Balance at December 31, 2024  $ 
Additions    
Change in fair value   324 
Balance at December 31, 2025  $324 

 

The Company measured fair value of the aviation asset option using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumption:

 

  

As of

December 31, 2025

 
Strike price   2,000,000 
Expected term   0.67 
Expected volatility   88.44%
Risk fee rate   3.49%
Dividend   0.00%

 

 

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the period. There were no gains and losses attributable to changes in instrument specific credit risk as the Company determined the likelihood of an event of default to be de minimus. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deposits, and members’ deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s credit facility, convertible notes and other loans approximate the fair value of such liabilities based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements and due to the short-term maturity of these instruments at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for 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.

 

Warrants

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding. All of the Company’s warrants have met the criteria for equity treatment.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are recognized on a gross basis and presented on the consolidated statements of operations net of rebates, discounts, and taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities. The transaction price in the Company’s contracts with its customers is fixed at the time control of goods and services are transferred to the customer. Therefore, the Company does not estimate variable consideration or perform a constraint analysis for our contracts.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, through the following steps:

 

  1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
     
  2. Identification of the performance obligation(s) in the contract.
     
  3. Determination of the transaction price.
     
  4. Allocation of the transaction to the performance obligation(s) in the contract.
     
  5. Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company generates revenue primarily through: (i) the sale of aircraft, and (ii) our Vaunt software-as-a-subscription product. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised service is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies, as a performance obligation, each promise to transfer a good or service to a customer that is distinct. To identify its performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods and services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

 

 

For each revenue stream, we evaluate whether our obligation is to provide the good or service itself, as the principal or to arrange for the good or service to be provided by the other party, as the agent, using the control model. In such circumstances, the Company is primarily responsible for satisfying the overall performance obligation with the customer and is considered the principal in the relationship.

 

Revenue from aircraft sales is recognized upon the delivery of the aircraft.

 

The Company generated revenue during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, broken down as follows, in thousands:

 

   2025   2024 
   Twelve Months Ended December 31, 
   2025   2024 
Aircraft sales  $77,100   $38,150 
Subscription   1,459    914 
Total  $78,559   $39,064 

 

Revenue from the sales of our Vaunt Software-as-a-subscription is deferred and recognized over the subscription term of the software and is included in customer deposits and deferred revenue on the consolidated balances sheets.

 

The following table provides a rollforward of deferred revenue, recorded in customer deposits and deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025:

 

   Amount 
Balance as of December 31, 2024  $696 
Revenue recognized   (1,459)
Revenue deferred   3,485 
Balance as of December 31, 2025  $2,722 

 

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain Revenue Contracts

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain Revenue Contracts

 

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a client if we expect the amortization period to be longer than one year, such costs are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. We have determined the costs incurred are incremental and recoverable and are subject to capitalization and amortization under ASC 340-40. The capitalized costs relate to revenue share with Vaunt operators and Vaunt sales commissions. The assets are capitalized and amortized ratably over the expected period of the benefit, which is currently estimated at 14 months.

 

The following tables present the asset balances and related amortization expense for the contract assets:

 

   Contract assets   Amount Capitalized   Amortization   Contract assets 
   As of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 
   Beginning Balance   Amount Capitalized   Amortization   Ending Balance 
Contract assets  $   $935   $(299)  $636 

 

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes

 

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events 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 fiscal year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the guidance of 740-10-25 of the FASB ASC (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty in income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its assets and/or liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.

 

The Company is subject to tax in the United States (“U.S.”) and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.

 

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation using the fair value method as set forth in the ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based on estimated fair values. This method requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each equity-based payment award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

 

The Black-Scholes model determines the fair value of equity-based payment awards based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and requires the use of estimates and assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, exercise price of the stock option, expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend rate. The Company estimates the expected volatility of its stock options by taking the average historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected life of the options; it is not practical for the Company to estimate its own volatility due to the lack of historical prices. The expected term of the options is determined in accordance with existing equity agreements as the underlying options are assumed to be exercised upon the passage of time. The risk-free interest rate is the estimated average interest rate based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon notes with terms consistent with the expected life of the awards. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not anticipate paying any recurring cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Net income (loss) per share

 

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first day of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Securities that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been antidilutive for the twelve months ended months ended December 31, 2025, include stock options, restricted stock units and warrants.

 

 

The Company had 17,703 and 18,614 outstanding stock options to purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

 

The Company had 10,964 and 29,080 outstanding restricted stock units to purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

The Company also had 1,161,195 outstanding warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively at a weighted average strike price of $287.50.

 

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America which it believes to be creditworthy. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets other than goodwill consists of acquired finite-lived customer relationships and acquired indefinite-lived Part 135 air carrier certificate. At initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, finite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which was determined based on management’s estimate of the period over which the asset will contribute to our future cash flows.

 

The Company reviews the intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or if events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that they are impaired. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale, or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. If the review indicates the impairment, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference of the value recorded and the fair value. There was no impairment loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 or 2024, respectively.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in our business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends, or significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results of operations. The Company 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 value, including goodwill.

 

If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, additional impairment testing is not required. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually during its fourth quarter. In March 2025, the Company sold GC Aviation, Inc. and the Part 135 air carrier certificate. In connection with that sale, the Company recorded an impairment on goodwill of $35 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. The loss is recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. There was no impairment loss recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

 

 

Segment Reporting

Segment reporting

 

The Company identifies operating segments as components of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM is the chief executive officer. We determined that the Company operates in a single operating and reportable segment, private aviation services, and the CODM reviews financial information including total assets from continuing operations and net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. Substantially all of our long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

 

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue includes costs that are directly related to the related revenue streams – aircraft sales and subscription based revenue. Aircraft sales cost of revenue is our purchase price of the aircraft. Subscription costs includes costs of our proprietary software, the Vaunt platform.

 

Advertising costs

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations. Such advertising amounted to $1.0 million and $4.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Leases

Leases

 

ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet with a corresponding right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”). ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU asset is evaluated for impairment using the long-lived asset impairment guidance. Leases will be classified as financing or operating, which will drive the expense recognition pattern. The Company elects to exclude short-term leases when recording a ROU asset and lease liability if and when the Company has them.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including its wholly owned subsidiary, USMM. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC provides coverage of up to $250,000 per depositor, per financial institution, for the aggregate total of depositors’ interest and non-interest-bearing accounts. The Company’s cash balances may exceed FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant risks.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Described below are the three levels of input that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

 

The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10-35, the Company’s derivation liability as of years ending November 30, 2025, and 2024, were $381,439 and $0, respectively and measure on Level 3 inputs.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

As stated in Note 1, the Company has shifted its focus and is currently pre-revenue. The Company will recognize revenues in accordance with ASC 606.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with ASC 740, the Company provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. If the Company has interest or penalties associated with insufficient taxes paid, such expenses are reported in income tax expense.

 

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

ASC 260 requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) computations.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

The Company had no additional dilutive securities outstanding at the fiscal years ended November 30, 2025 or November 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Each period, the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. Management tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who review the total assets and net loss of Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performances. The key measure of segment loss reviewed by the CODMs are the operating expenses.

The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This includes but is not limited to significant adverse changes in business climate, market conditions or other events that indicate an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future cash flows the asset is expected to generate.
