A. Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are comprised of the financial statements of the Company. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement if its financial position as of March 31, 2026, and its results of operations for the three months periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the three months periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2026. The condensed consolidated interim balance sheet at December 31, 2025, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to a separate line item.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Legacy Cyabra’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited annual financial statements of Legacy Cyabra included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required under GAAP for a complete set of financial statements.
Following the Closing, the financial information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements includes the balances and results of operations of Holdings, which has become the reporting entity, and consolidates the balances and activity of Legacy Cyabra. Prior to the Closing, all references to Cyabra are related to the balances and activity of Legacy Cyabra. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Information about assumptions made by the Company with respect to the future and other reasons for uncertainty with respect to estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are included in the following notes:
The Company accounts for financial liabilities arising from warrants, safes and convertible notes at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values of these instruments are determined by using economic methods for evaluation. For information on details regarding fair value measurement and sensitivity analysis see Note 3 regarding financial instruments.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black and Scholes option-pricing model. For the assumptions used to measure the share-based payments awards — see note 3.
C. Fair value of financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 defines fair value 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 the measurement date, essentially an exit price. In addition, the fair value of assets and liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, which for the liabilities described below includes the Company’s own credit risk.
As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
D. Credit Risk
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance is denominated mainly in US dollars and New Israeli Shekels.
The Company does not have a significant concentration of credit risks. The cash of the Company is deposited in Israeli and U.S. banking corporations. In the estimation of the Company’s management, the credit risk for these financial instruments is low. In the estimation of the Company’s management, it does not have any material expected credit losses.
E. Recently Adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Using exemptions provided under the JOBS Act for EGCs, the Company has elected to defer compliance with new or revised ASUs until it is required to comply with such updates, which is generally consistent with the adoption dates of private companies. |
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and are applied on a consistent basis.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Information about assumptions made by the Company with respect to the future and other reasons for uncertainty with respect to estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are included in the following notes:
The Company accounts for financial liabilities arising from warrants, safes and convertible notes at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values of these instruments are determined by using economic methods for evaluation. For information on details regarding fair value measurement and sensitivity analysis see Note 17 regarding financial instruments.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black and Scholes option-pricing model. For the assumptions used to measure the share-based payments awards — see note 10C.
C. Functional currency
The Company’s management believes that the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its Subsidiary is conducted. Thus, the U.S. dollar is the Company’s functional currency. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For non-dollar transactions and other items in the statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions — exchange rates at transaction dates or average exchange rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation and amortization) — historical exchange rates. Currency transaction gains and losses are presented in financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
D. Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-Company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
E. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.
F. Restricted Cash
Restricted cash are deposits serving as security for rent and credit cards.
G. Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, at the following annual rates:
H. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the periods ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, impairment losses have been recorded.
I. Fair value of financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 defines fair value 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 the measurement date, essentially an exit price. In addition, the fair value of assets and liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, which for the liabilities described below includes the Company’s own credit risk.
As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
The financial instruments of the Company consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted deposit, accounts receivable, other current assets, trade accounts payable, other current liabilities and loans. In view of their nature, the fair value of the financial instruments is usually identical or substantially similar to their carrying amounts.
J. Research and development costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Costs incurred in the research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products are expensed as incurred. Development costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company’s process for developing products is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility and thus, software development costs are expensed as incurred.
K. Government grants
Grants received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for approved research and development projects are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred and included as a deduction from research and development expenses, and not recognized as a liability if payment of royalties is not probable when the grants are received.
L. Redeemable convertible preferred shares, warrants and liability for future equity
The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred shares are considered to be contingently redeemable equity under ASC 480-10-S99 as they are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control, and as the limited exception provided by ASC 480-10-S99-3A(3)(f) is not applied. Thus, the redeemable convertible preferred shares are classified as “temporary equity”.
The Company’s simple agreements for future equity (“SAFEs”) give the investors an option to redeem the SAFEs for cash upon a dissolution event and upon a change of control event. As both of the events are not considered liquidation of the Company and since they are not under the sole control of the Company, the Company classifies the SAFE as a liability under ASC 480-10.
Warrants issued represents free-standing equity-linked financial instrument that is not considered indexed to the Company’s own stocks and therefor is classified as a liability under ASC 815-40.
M. Income taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Given the Company’s losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets.
N. Share-based compensation
The Company accounts for its employees’ stock-based compensation as an expense in the financial statements based on ASC 718. All awards are equity classified and therefore such costs are measured at the grant date fair value of the award and graded vesting attribution approach to recognize compensation cost over the vesting period. The Company estimates stock option grant date fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing-model. The Company recorded stock options issued to non-employees at the grant date fair value, and recognizes expenses over the related service period in the same period and in the same manner the Company would if it had paid cash for those goods or services. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
O. Leases
The Company leases office spaces under several agreements, see also note 19.
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
For operating leases, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective-interest method.
For leases shorter than 1 year-the Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption provided by ASC 842. As a result, leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, and (2) lease term.
Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses the interest rate it pays on its noncollateralized borrowings as an input to deriving an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the amount of the lease payments, the lease term, and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.
The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received.
For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For the office rent lease, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease maintenance components as a single lease component. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract, owed over the lease term.
P. Liability for severance pay
All the Company’s employees included under section 14 of the Israeli Severance Compensation Act, 1963 (“section 14”). According to this section, these employees are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments (under the above Israeli Severance Pay Law) in respect of those employees. The aforementioned deposits are not recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet as they are not under the Company’s control.
Q. Revenue recognition
The Company only has revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts, and control of its products is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products. This process involves identifying the customer contract, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it (a) provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and (b) is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or product to a customer, meaning the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefit of the product.
The Company offers its software to customers mainly via subscription (Software as a service-SaaS). In very limited cases, the software is provided via on-premises deployment. In addition, the Company offers Managed Services which typically include specific research and custom reports per the customer’ request.
The Company’s contracts generally include a single material performance obligation. The Company applied significant judgement and concluded that its promise to provide a software license is not considered distinct from subsequent upgrades and updates, since without those upgrades the utility of the software license degrades significantly during the license period if updates and upgrades are not provided. Also, the updates are integral to the customer continuing to obtain substantive utility from the software license.
The Company recognizes revenue from its SaaS and on-premises services ratably over the period in which the services are rendered. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 and does not evaluate payment terms of contract with duration of one year or less for the existence of a significant financing component. The Company’s customers usually pay for the services in advance for the duration of the license. For costs that are incremental to obtaining a contract with a customer, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient under which costs with an expected period of benefit of one year or less are recognized as an expense as incurred. In addition, contracts typically do not contain variable consideration as the contracts include stated prices.
The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it controls the services prior to their transfer to the end customer. Control over services is determined with reference to, inter alia, the ability to determine the pricing of the service and being primarily responsible for service fulfillment. In certain transactions where the Company sells to a reseller and the resellers sells to an end-customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the price sold to the reseller.
Revenues relating to Managed Services relates to deliverable performance obligation and are recognized at the point in time the deliverable is transferred to the Customer.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that had not yet been recognized, and include billed deferred revenue, consisting of amounts invoiced to customers whether collected or uncollected which have not been recognized as revenue, as well as unbilled amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s remaining performance obligations were $3,154 thousands, of which the Company expects to recognize $3,039 thousands and $115 thousands as revenue within one year and beyond one year, respectively.
R. Loss per share
The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of ordinary shares are anti-dilutive. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to ordinary shareholders for the period to be allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers its redeemable convertible preferred shares to be participating securities as the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares, on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all redeemable convertible preferred shares into ordinary shares. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.
S. Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes no items other than net loss.
T. Recently Adopted accounting pronouncements
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Using exemptions provided under the JOBS Act for EGCs, the Company has elected to defer compliance with new or revised ASUs until it is required to comply with such updates, which is generally consistent with the adoption dates of private companies.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segments disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU also require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU, as evidenced in its segment disclosure, see note 12. Such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financials.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASC 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring its fair value. The ASU also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The ASU also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. As an Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
U. Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, SG&A and research and development). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires the annual financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Adoption is either with a prospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s 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 ASU introduces a practical expedient for all entities when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Under the practical expedient, when developing reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses, an entity may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on its consolidated financial statements if it elects to apply the practical expedient.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”. The ASU removes all references to software development stages throughout ASU 350-40. Therefore, under the ASU, an entity will be required to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (‘probable-to-complete’ recognition threshold). In applying the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The ASU allows adoption either on a prospective basis, a modified prospective approach or a retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the ASU on its internal use software capitalization policy.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, to amend the guidance in “Government Grants” (Topic 832). The update provides recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for government grants, including guidance for grants related to an asset and grants related to income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2029, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 to amend the guidance in “Interim Reporting” (Topic 270). The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of assessing the impacts of the ASU on its interim financial statements. |

| Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
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 periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash or cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. For purposes of calculating diluted loss per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and the number of common share equivalents if the inclusion of such common share equivalents is dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have deferred tax assets or liabilities.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and underpayment of income tax as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the timing of any Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income (loss) and associated income tax provision based on actual results through December 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company had adopted the ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, prospectively, and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
