I-ON Digital Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2026
NOTE 1: Organization and Operations
I-ON Digital Corp. (the “Company”) is engaged in providing digital-based enterprise solutions, including the digitization, management and custody of digital tokens and other asset-backed digital securities using blockchain technology. The Company also engages in digital asset treasury activities, including the deployment, exchange and management of gold-backed and other digital assets under contractual arrangements designed to generate yield and support tokenized asset transactions.
On
December 15, 2023, the Company consummated the transaction contemplated by the Contribution and Exchange Agreement dated October 30,
2023 (the “Contribution and Exchange Agreement”), by and between the Company and Orebits Acquisition Group, a Wyoming limited
liability company (“OAG”). Pursuant to the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired shares of the
outstanding common stock of Orebits Corp. (“Orebits”), representing a
In
connection with the Transaction, OAG transferred to the Company all of its right, title and interest in approximately ION.au (formerly
Orebits.AU) gold-backed digital assets, which had an estimated value of approximately $
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or any future interim period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of I-On Digital Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Orebits Corp, (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control, typically through a majority voting interest. The Company consolidates entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation.
| 7 |
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $
As
of June 30, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $
Management continues to focus on expanding commercialization of its digital asset platform, developing additional revenue-generating opportunities, and obtaining additional financing through private placements and strategic financing arrangements. The Company also expects continued financial support from certain related parties as needed. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or related-party support will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. As a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 for contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company applies the following five-step model: (i) identification of the contract with a customer; (ii) identification of performance obligations; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company’s revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of fees earned under its Master Treasury Lease and Custody Agreement (“MTLCA”) with GGBR Inc. (“GGBR”). Under the MTLCA arrangement, the Company, performing in its role as the Lessor under the MTLCA, enables GGBR’s minting, issuance, and management of gold-backed digital tokens (“Goldfish Tokens”) by providing its ION.au Gold-backed Digital Assets (“ION.au”) as collateral to back the Goldfish Tokens. Under the MTLCA the Company’s single performance obligation is to provide vault access to the ION.au, however, the Company earns royalties on GGBR’s sales of Goldfish Tokens, therefore revenue is recognized when Goldfish Tokens are sold by GGBR, at the point when the Company is entitled to receive consideration.
Consideration
received in advance of Goldfish Token sales is recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue when the Company is entitled
to receive consideration. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not recognize any revenue under the Master Treasury
Lease and Custody Agreement (“MTLCA”). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $
Digital Asset Yield Income
The Company recognizes income earned from contractual participation in digital asset treasury and decentralized finance (“DeFi”) yield-generating arrangements as other income, as such income is not derived from contracts with customers and is therefore outside the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Yield income is recognized when earned based on the Company’s contractual rights under the applicable agreements. Amounts earned but not yet received are recorded as other receivables.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all money market funds and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represent non-physical assets that lack physical substance but have economic value. The Company’s intangible assets primarily consist of internally developed software, technology platforms, and digital assets, including gold-backed digital assets and related digital tokens. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, fair value, or historical cost, as appropriate. Fair value is used when assets are acquired from parties not under common control, while historical cost is used for assets acquired from entities under common control. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives of the respective asset categories are as follows:
| Development costs | |
| Intangible assets excluding development costs | |
| Other intangible assets – core technology platforms |
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 350-30. Costs incurred to renew, maintain, or extend the useful life of recognized intangible assets are generally expensed as incurred unless they meet the capitalization criteria under U.S. GAAP.
Digital assets, including gold-backed digital assets and other blockchain-based digital tokens held by the Company, are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets under ASC 350. Accordingly, these assets are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment at least annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.
When digital assets are exchanged for other digital assets or other consideration, the Company derecognizes the carrying amount of the assets surrendered and recognizes the assets received at the appropriate measurement basis in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period the transaction occurs.
Impairment losses recognized on indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subsequently reversed if the fair value of the assets later increases.
| 8 |
Impairment Analysis for Long-lived Assets and Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, 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 or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, market-based approaches, quoted market prices, and independent third-party appraisals, as applicable.
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, including digital assets, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. These assets are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors when evaluating impairment, including market conditions, observable market prices, technological developments, regulatory changes, and other relevant events.
If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the excess carrying amount. Once recognized, impairment losses are not subsequently reversed if the fair value of the asset increases.
Management’s impairment analyses require the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows, estimated useful lives, market conditions, and valuation inputs. Actual results may differ from these estimates and could materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
The Company accounts for earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable reporting period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method or the treasury stock method, as applicable, when their effect is dilutive. For certain convertible instruments with variable conversion features, the Company applies the applicable guidance under ASC 260 in determining the number of incremental shares to include in diluted earnings per share.
For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
| June 30, 2026 | June 30, 2025 | |||||||
| Series A preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock each | ||||||||
| Series E preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock each | ||||||||
| Series C preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock each | ||||||||
| Convertible notes payable | ||||||||
| Total common stock equivalents | ||||||||
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a net loss; therefore, all potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income. Accordingly, diluted earnings per share includes the effect of dilutive potential common shares as required under ASC 260.
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic | ||||
| Incremental shares from common stock equivalents | ||||
| Weighted-average common shares outstanding – diluted |
Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 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 the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has an ability to access as of the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 | Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the same term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
| 9 |
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying amounts of cash, other receivables, due from related party, prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, due to related parties, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of notes payable and convertible notes payable also approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities or because the stated interest rates approximate current market rates for similar instruments.
The Company’s derivative liabilities associated with certain convertible notes are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because the valuation incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates, conversion features, and other factors. The derivative liabilities are remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10 – Convertible Promissory Notes and Embedded Derivative Liabilities for additional information.
The following table provides a summary of the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Fair value measurements on a recurring basis | ||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||
| As of June 30, 2026: | ||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||
| As of December 31, 2025: | ||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes consist of current taxes payable and deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not recognize any liabilities for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740, nor did it recognize any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Contingencies
Accounting guidance requires that the Company record an estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies such as legal matters requires significant judgment. Many of these legal matters can take years to resolve. Generally, as the time period increases over which the uncertainties are resolved, the likelihood of changes to the estimate of the ultimate outcome increases.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents maintained at financial institutions. The Company places its cash deposits with high-credit-quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy.
Cash
balances maintained at financial institutions may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance
limit of $
The Company generally does not extend significant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties and establishes allowances for expected credit losses when considered necessary based on historical experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management believed that no allowance for credit losses was required.
| 10 |
Segment Reporting
The Company accounts for segment reporting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Operating segments are identified based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates financial information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.
Advertising
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The
Company incurred $
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and nonemployees based on the grant-date fair value of the awards.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award, generally on a straight-line basis for awards that vest based solely on service conditions. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make assumptions regarding the expected term of the award, expected stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and other relevant factors. Because the Company has limited historical trading data, expected volatility is estimated using the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies when appropriate. The expected term of stock options is estimated based on the contractual term of the award and expected exercise behavior.
Changes in the assumptions used to estimate the grant-date fair value of share-based awards could have a material effect on the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in future periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to provide additional disclosures, in tabular form, about specified natural expense categories, including employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and inventory or transaction-related costs, within relevant income statement captions.
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although it expects the standard will require expanded financial statement disclosures.
Management has reviewed other recently issued accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and determined that, other than the standard discussed above, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. Treasury Lease and Custody Agreement
In July 2025, the Company entered into a Master Treasury Lease and Custody Agreement (“MTLCA”) with GGBR Inc. Under the agreement, GGBR leases from the Company up to 1,000,000 ION.au gold-backed digital assets in connection with GGBR’s issuance of tokenized digital assets. The arrangement supports GGBR’s digital treasury operations and proprietary tokenization platform. The Company’s fulfillment obligations may be satisfied using ION.au held directly by the Company or ION.au controlled under management agreements with third parties.
Pursuant to the MTLCA, the Company retains ownership and/or management control of the underlying ION.au digital assets throughout the lease term. Accordingly, the leased digital assets continue to be recognized by the Company, and GGBR does not record the leased ION.au as assets on its balance sheet. GGBR is responsible for the minting, issuance, and redemption of Goldfish Tokens and compensates the Company based on an agreed percentage of Goldfish Token sales generated under the arrangement.
Consideration under the MTLCA may be received in both cash and in-kind. Goldfish Tokens earned by the Company are immediately loaned back to GGBR for use in liquidity pools managed by GGBR. Because the Company does not have the ability to access or control the Goldfish Tokens until specified contractual conditions are satisfied, the Company does not recognize the Goldfish Tokens as intangible assets upon receipt.

NOTE 4. Yield Income
In September 2025, the Company entered into a Master Participation Agreement (“MPA”) with Regnum Aurum Acquisition Corp. (“RAAC”), pursuant to which the Company deploys tokenized gold-backed digital assets to support the issuance of stablecoins and related decentralized finance (“DeFi”) yield-generating activities. Under the MPA, the Company participates in the deployment of digital assets within the RAAC ecosystem and is entitled to a contractually specified share of the net yield generated.
For

income is settled in both cash and amounts retained within the RAAC ecosystem. Amounts earned but not yet received are recorded as other
receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the receivable related
to the MPA was $
The Company presents yield income as other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations because it is generated from the Company’s contractual participation in yield-generating activities and is not derived from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Yield income is recognized when earned based on the terms of the MPA and the Company’s contractual right to receive its share of the net yield generated.
NOTE 5. Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, providing resource management expertise and services. Our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker, evaluates the Company’s financial performance and makes resource allocation decisions considering our one geographical area and on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the CODM considers the revenue, operating expenses, and other income (expenses) of our single operating segment as reported on the statement of operations and considers our current and total assets as recorded on the balance sheet. There are no additional expense or asset information that are supplemental to those disclosed in these consolidated financial statements that are regularly provided to the CODM.
NOTE 6. Prepayments
Prepaid expenses consist primarily of deposits related to strategic business initiatives, advance payments for regulatory compliance and professional services, OTC Markets listing fees, and other operating expenses that provide future economic benefits. These amounts are recognized as expense over the applicable service periods as the related services are received or, in the case of acquisition-related deposits, are capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset upon completion of the underlying transaction, as applicable.

At

Business Overview
I-ON Digital Corp. develops technology solutions for the digitization, tokenization, and management of real-world assets (“RWAs”). The Company’s platform is designed to transform documentary evidence of ownership into blockchain-based digital certificates that support asset management, transfer, financing, and other digital asset applications. The Company’s technology integrates blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, workflow automation, and artificial intelligence to facilitate the digitization of mineral reserves and other real-world assets. The Company also engages in digital asset treasury activities, including the deployment, exchange, and management of gold-backed and other digital assets under contractual arrangements designed to generate yield and support tokenized asset transactions.
During 2023 and 2024, the Company expanded its intellectual property portfolio through the acquisition of Orebits’ gold digitization patents, patent applications, trademarks, and related intellectual property. These assets form part of the Company’s Digital Asset Platform (“DAP”), which is designed to support financial institutions, broker-dealers, and other market participants in the custody, management, reporting, and transfer of digital assets.
| 18 |
The Company continues to develop technology supporting the tokenization of mineral reserves and other real-world assets. Management believes the increasing adoption of blockchain technology and the growing institutional interest in tokenized assets may create opportunities for the Company’s platform and related technologies. The Company continues to expand its Digital Asset Platform through software development and strategic technology relationships intended to enhance blockchain interoperability, security, and digital asset management capabilities. The Company’s technology assets also include software supporting Know Your Customer (“KYC”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) onboarding and platforms supporting the tokenization of precious metals, minerals, and commodity assets.
During the first half of 2026, the Company continued developing its technology platform while pursuing commercialization opportunities related to mineral reserve digitization, digital payment infrastructure, and real-world asset tokenization. The Company also continued its digital asset treasury activities under its existing contractual arrangements, including the deployment and management of ION.au gold-backed digital assets and the generation of yield from such activities. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company exchanged certain ION.au digital assets for pmUSD and xPM digital assets. The Company also continued work on the Blythe Project and related digital asset initiatives intended to support future platform development. In April 2026, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with Regnum Aurum Acquisition Corp. (“RAAC”) providing for borrowings of up to $750,000 to finance costs associated with the acquisition, onboarding, verification, and tokenization of the Blythe Project. As of June 30, 2026, $598,350 was outstanding under this arrangement. Although management believes these initiatives may provide future growth opportunities, the timing and extent of future revenues remain dependent upon successful commercialization, customer adoption, regulatory developments, and the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing.
Results of Operations
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported no operating revenue, compared to $0 for the same period in 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $27,000 of operating revenue, compared to $0 for the same period in 2025. The revenue recognized during 2026 was generated under the Master Treasury Lease and Custody Agreement (“MTLCA”) with GGBR Inc. (“GGBR”). Under the agreement, the Company provides ION.au Gold-backed Digital Assets (“ION.au”) as collateral to support GGBR’s minting, issuance, and management of Goldfish Tokens. The agreement commenced in July 2025; therefore, no revenue was recognized under this arrangement during the comparable period in 2025.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $375,956 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $424,508 for the same period in 2025, representing a decrease of $48,552, or approximately 11%. Professional fees decreased to approximately $129,732 from $137,027, primarily reflecting the timing of legal, regulatory, compliance and development-related professional services, a greater portion of which were incurred during the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in total operating expenses also reflected lower marketing and travel expenses and a $36,000 credit recorded for platform maintenance, partially offset by higher computer and internet expenses, rent, meals and entertainment, and other general and administrative costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, operating expenses were $794,095, compared to $772,917 for the same period in 2025, representing an increase of $21,178, or approximately 3%. Professional fees increased to approximately $352,056 from $309,941, primarily due to higher legal, regulatory, compliance and development-related professional services, particularly during the first quarter of 2026. Computer and internet expenses also increased to approximately $110,365 from $78,939. These increases were partially offset by decreases in marketing expenses to $0 from approximately $50,836 and travel expenses to approximately $26,711 from $62,413.
Operating expenses consisted primarily of professional fees, software amortization, payroll and employee benefits, computer and internet expenses, rent, travel, marketing, and other general and administrative expenses.

Income (Loss) from Operations
The Company reported a loss from operations of $375,956 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss from operations of $424,508 for the same period in 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a loss from operations of $767,095, compared to $772,917 for the same period in 2025.
The operating loss for the three-month period improved from the prior-year period primarily because of lower operating expenses, which decreased by $48,552, or approximately 11%, compared with the prior-year three-month period. For the six-month period, operating results remained relatively consistent with the prior year, with the operating loss decreasing by $5,822, or less than 1%. The $27,000 of operating revenue recognized under the MTLCA during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was substantially offset by a modest increase in operating expenses compared with the same period in 2025.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized other expense, net, of $189,183, consisting primarily of yield income of $150,401, a loss of $87,709 from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, interest expense of $5,107, and amortization of debt discount of $246,768. Yield income was recognized in connection with the Company’s Master Participation Agreement (“MPA”) with RAAC. The loss on the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities resulted from the periodic remeasurement of embedded derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s variable-price convertible promissory notes. Interest expense included stated interest on outstanding borrowings and amortization of debt discounts recorded in connection with the issuance of convertible promissory notes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize significant other income or expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized other income, net, of $4,351,202, consisting primarily of yield income of $425,112, a gain on the exchange of intangible assets of $4,064,680, a gain on settlement of debt of $440,619, a loss of $101,957 from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, interest expense of $47,227, and amortization of debt discount of $430,025.
The gain on the exchange of intangible assets was recognized in connection with the exchange of the Company’s ION.au gold-backed digital assets for pmUSD and xPM digital tokens. The gain on settlement of debt resulted from the settlement of outstanding promissory notes through the transfer of ION.au digital assets. The loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the periodic remeasurement of embedded derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s variable-price convertible promissory notes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize significant other income or expense
Net Income (Loss)
The Company reported a net loss of $565,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $424,508 for the same period in 2025. The increase in net loss during the current quarter was primarily attributable to interest expense, including amortization of debt discounts associated with the Company’s convertible promissory notes, and the loss from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, partially offset by yield income recognized during the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $3,584,107, compared to a net loss of $772,917 for the same period in 2025. The net income recognized during the current year was primarily attributable to the non-recurring gain on the exchange of intangible assets, the gain on settlement of debt, and yield income recognized during the period, partially offset by interest expense, amortization of debt discounts, and the loss from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. Management believes the gains on the exchange of intangible assets and settlement of debt are non-recurring in nature and do not represent the results of the Company’s core operating activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Position
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $318,658, compared to $158,193 as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $160,465. The increase in cash primarily resulted from financing activities during the first half of 2026, partially offset by cash used in operating activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $770,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $641,827 for the same period in 2025.
The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the Company’s continued operating losses from its principal business activities, increases in working capital requirements, including higher other receivables and prepaid expenses, and reductions in accrued expenses and deferred revenue – related party offset by an increase in accrued interest.
Operating cash flows were also affected by significant non-cash items recognized during the period, including:
| ● | a gain on the exchange of intangible assets of $4,064,680; | |
| ● | a gain on settlement of debt of $440,619; | |
| ● | amortization of debt discounts of $430,025; | |
| ● | amortization of intangible assets of $72,524; | |
| ● | derivative recorded as loan fees in interest expense of $42,120; and | |
| ● | a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $101,957. |
These non-cash items significantly affected net income but did not provide operating cash flows. Accordingly, although the Company reported net income of $3,584,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, it used approximately $0.8 million of cash in operating activities during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash of $641,827 was used in operating activities. The change was mainly due to the net loss of $772,917 offset by non-cash amounts of $68,190, decrease in prepaid of $2,348, increase in accrued expenses of $33,922 and due to related party of $26,630.
Investing Activities
The Company had no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
| 21 |
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $930,856 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $421,822 for the same period in 2025.
Cash provided by financing activities during the current period primarily consisted of:
| ● | proceeds from convertible notes of $1,175,650; | |
| ● | proceeds from notes payable of $109,200; and | |
| ● | advances from related parties of $260,051; |
partially offset by:
| ● | repayments to related parties of $613,033; and | |
| ● | repayments of principal on a note payable of approximately $1,012. |
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, financing activities primarily consisted of advances from related parties used to support the Company’s operating activities of $421,822.
Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.59 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.71 million. Although the Company reported net income of $3,584,107 during the six months ended June 30, 2026, such net income was primarily attributable to non-cash and non-recurring gains, including the gain on the exchange of intangible assets and the gain on settlement of debt. The Company continues to incur operating losses from its principal business activities and operating cash outflows and remains dependent on additional financing, related-party support, and the successful commercialization of its digital asset platform to fund future operations.
Management continues to focus on expanding commercialization of its digital asset platform, developing additional revenue-generating opportunities, and obtaining additional financing through private placements and strategic financing arrangements. The Company also expects continued financial support from certain related parties as needed. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or related-party support will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Liquidity Outlook
Although the Company reported net income of approximately $3.58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net income was primarily attributable to non-recurring gains, including the gain on the exchange of intangible assets and the gain on the settlement of debt. These gains do not represent the results of the Company’s core operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company used approximately $0.8 million of cash in operating activities. The Company continues to generate negative cash flows from operating activities and remains dependent on external financing, related-party support, and the successful commercialization of its digital asset platform to fund its operations and execute its business strategy.
Management continues to pursue additional financing through debt and equity offerings, strategic partnerships, and other capital-raising initiatives. Management also continues to focus on expanding commercialization opportunities for its digital asset platform and real-world asset tokenization technologies. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or commercial opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management’s plans to address these conditions are discussed in Note 2 – Going Concern to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 22 |
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes that the following accounting estimates involve the most significant judgments and estimates:
| ● | valuation and impairment of digital assets and other intangible assets; | |
| ● | recognition and measurement of digital asset yield income; | |
| ● | fair value measurement of embedded derivative liabilities associated with convertible promissory notes; | |
| ● | valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value; and | |
| ● | the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience, current market conditions, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in facts or circumstances could result in material changes to these estimates in future reporting periods.

As required by Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026, the last day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
Based on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were previously identified and disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management continues to implement remediation efforts to address these material weaknesses; however, such efforts have not yet been completed.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed or operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.
The design of our control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control failures or instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These limitations include the possibility of human error, faulty judgment, breakdowns in processes, circumvention of controls by collusion, and management override of controls. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control system will succeed in achieving its objectives under all future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
