| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
1) Basis Presentation
(a) Business Combination
On February 26, 2025, Core Gaming, Inc. (“Core Gaming”) entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Siyata Mobile Inc.(“Siyata Mobile”) and Siyata Core Acquisition U.S., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siyata Mobile (“Merger Sub”) (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger on October 3, 2025, (i) Core Gaming merged with and into Merger Sub, with Core Gaming continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Siyata Mobile, and (ii) in exchange for the outstanding shares of Core Gaming’s common stock, Siyata Mobile issued common shares ( before the 4-1 reverse stock split that occurred on October 7, 2025) to the shareholders of Core Gaming based on an exchange ratio calculated as $160,000,000 divided by the volume-weighted average closing price of Siyata Mobile’s common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for the 10-day trading period immediately preceding the effective time of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, Siyata Mobile Inc. was re-named Core AI Holdings, Inc. (“Core Holdings”), and effected a 4-1 reverse stock split on October 7, 2025. Newbyera Technology Limited is the sole operating subsidiary of Core Gaming.
(b) Basis of Accounting
The Merger is accounted for as a reverse acquisition and a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. While Core AI Holdings, Inc (formerly Siyata Mobile Inc) is the legal acquirer and Core Gaming was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:(1) Relative voting rights, since the former shareholders of Core Gaming own 84.5% of Core Holdings’ outstanding common shares immediately following the closing of the Merger; (2) Composition of the management ,the management of Core Gaming will assume key positions in the management of Core Holdings; (3) Premium, $160,000,000 fair value of the consideration issued significantly exceeded the pre-merger market capitalization of Siyata Mobile. Consequently, Core Gaming is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes, and the Merger is accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The historical financial statements of the Group prior to the merger date are those of Core Gaming, Inc., and the results of Core AI Holdings Inc (formerly Siyata Mobile Inc) are consolidated only from the closing date of October 3, 2025.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary or business comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred also includes any contingent consideration arrangement and any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of (a) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the (b) fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Refer to note 15 for additional information.
(c) Principal of Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date on that control ceases.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Core AI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Siyata Mobile Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Core Gaming, Inc. and Newbyera Technology Limited (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. In accordance with ASC 250, the changes in estimates will be recognized in the same period of changes in facts and circumstances. The Group bases its estimates on past experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, useful lives and collectability evaluation of accounts receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(e) Foreign Currency Translation
The Group’s functional currency is United States dollars. The Group translates the financial statements of the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a different functional currency different from the presentation currency into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Unrealized gains or losses arising from currency translation are included in other comprehensive loss.
2) Related Party Transactions and Balances
The Company identifies related parties in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. Related parties include, among others, principal owners, management, members of their immediate families, and entities for which such parties can significantly influence management or operating policies. Related party transactions are recorded based on the terms of the underlying arrangements and are disclosed when material to the financial statements.
3) Going Concern
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, The Group had losses of $1,624,222 and $758,354 from the continuing operations, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Group had losses of $5,252,785 and $858,611 from the continuing operations, respectively. The accumulated deficit was $37,216,436 as of June 30, 2026. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2026, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million, which consisted of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Group’s working capital as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $1.9 million. Historically, the Group has funded its operations, including capital expenditures, primarily through cash flow from operating activities, advances from related parties, and equity financing. The Group’s shelf registration statement for offer up to $250 million securities was declared effective by the SEC on November 21, 2025. Management believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, the cash generated from operations, and ATM facility are sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. As a result, the substantial doubts about the Group’s going concern were alleviated. These financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Group may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if the Group experiences changes in business conditions or other developments, such the need to develop new games and features or enhance its existing games, improve its operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses, personnel or technologies., or if the Group finds and wishes to pursue opportunities for investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures or similar actions. If the Group determines that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents it has on hand at the time, the Group may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to its shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict its operations. The Group cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Group, if at all.
4) Revenue Recognition
The Group recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sales of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.
The Group generates its revenue through publishing advertisements on various advertising platforms. The Group’s performance obligation is to provide customers with access to the advertising solutions. The transaction price is the product of either the number of completions of agreed upon actions or advertisements displayed and the contractually agreed upon price per advertising unit. Revenues are recognized at the point-in-time the advertisements are displayed in the game or the services has been completed as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided from these services. The revenue is estimated based on advertising data for each month and revised after confirmation of revenues with various advertising agencies.
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified services itself (i.e., the Group is a principal) or to arrange for those services to be provided by the other party (i.e., the Group is an agent).
The Group is a principal if it controls the specified services before those services are transferred to a customer. The Group is an agent if its performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified services by another party. In this case, the Group does not control the specified services provided by another party before those services are transferred to the customer. When the Group acts as an agent, it recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified services to be provided by the other party. This evaluation is performed separately for each performance obligation identified. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there was no revenue recognized on a net basis where the Group is acting as an agent.
5) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in banks. The Group considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
6) Accounts Receivable and Expected Credit Loss
Trade receivables represent amounts due from customers for services provided in the ordinary course of business. The majority of the Group’s trade receivables relate to advertising services. Trade receivables are generally due within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date and are classified as current assets.
Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Group accounts for expected credit losses on trade receivables in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASC 326”).
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the receivables. In estimating expected credit losses, the Group considers historical credit loss experience, the aging of outstanding receivable balances, customer-specific financial conditions, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that may affect customers’ ability to pay.
The Group generally evaluates trade receivables that share similar risk characteristics on a collective basis and may evaluate certain receivables individually when specific information indicates that the credit risk of such receivables differs from that of the broader portfolio.
The Group utilized an aging-based provision matrix and other appropriate methodology to estimate expected credit losses. Historical loss rates are adjusted, as necessary, to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recognized in earnings. Trade receivables are written off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognized when received.
7) Account and Other Payables
Accounts Payable primarily consist of amounts due to advertising platforms and agencies for marketing services, as well as game development fees owed to third-party game suppliers. Other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. These payables are typically settled within the standard payment terms contracted with the respective suppliers. These payables do not bear interests.
8) Leases
The Group accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The Group determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid over the lease term. When the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date.
The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease and periods covered by options to extend the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options, as well as periods covered by options to terminate the lease when the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise such options.
Operating lease ROU assets are initially measured at the amount of the operating lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received.
For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Subsequent to commencement, the operating lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is reduced by the difference between the straight-line lease expense and the interest accretion on the lease liability, adjusted for any impairment, prepaid or accrued lease payments, and lease incentives, as applicable.
The Group reviews its operating lease ROU assets for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable.
The Group has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
9) Intangible assets
Patents and licenses
Cost for applying and registering patents, trademark and copyright are capitalized at cost and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These costs are amortized to profit or loss using the straight-line method over 20 years, which is the shorter of their estimated useful lives and periods of contractual rights.
10) Income Taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”).
Current income taxes are recognized based on taxable income for the applicable period in accordance with the tax laws and regulations of the respective tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates.
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 for net 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 periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in enacted tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Group evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Group considers, among other factors, historical operating results, cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and available tax-planning strategies.
The Group recognizes the effect of an uncertain tax position only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Group recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
For interim reporting periods, the Group determines its income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 740-270, Income Taxes—Interim Reporting. The Group generally applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date ordinary income or loss and recognizes the tax effects of discrete items in the interim period in which they occur.
11) Financial Instruments
The Group’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
The Group presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 have been retroactively restated to reflect the shares of common stock issued to the shareholders of the accounting acquirer in connection with the reverse merge closed on October 3, 2025.
Shares of the legal acquirer outstanding prior to the reverse merge, including shares originally outstanding, shares issued in a pre-merger equity line fund raising, and shares resulting from the conversion of the Preferred C common stock, are reflected in the weighted average share count only from the date of the merger (October 3, 2025) through June 30, 2026.
The weighted average number of shares was retroactively changed to reflect the 1-to-4 reverse stock split that occurred on October 7, 2025.
13). Fair value of assets and liabilities
The fair values of applicable assets and liabilities, are determined and categorized using a fair value hierarchy as follows:
Fair value measurements that use inputs of different hierarchy levels are categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Except as disclosed in the respective notes, the carrying amounts of the current financial assets and financial liabilities, including cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturity nature.
14) Commitments and Contingencies
The Group accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”).
The Group records an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated but no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is accrued.
When a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when a loss is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, the Group discloses the nature of the contingency and an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made.
The Group evaluates its contingencies on an ongoing basis and adjusts its accruals and related disclosures as additional information becomes available.
15) Recent accounting pronouncement
ASU 2025-05 — Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments provide all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606. The amendments also provide entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election related to the consideration of subsequent cash collections when estimating expected credit losses for such assets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments require public business entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, including, among other items, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as applicable. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
