**Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

*Principles of Consolidation*

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, consisting of (i) Information Technology Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation; and (ii) its majority-owned subsidiary, Nexxis Inc., a Nevada corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's former business segments, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., were sold on September 11, 2025, and are classified as discontinued operations.

The Company's continuing operations consist of a single reportable segment focused on voice and data solutions. The Chief Executive Officer reviews consolidated financial information to assess performance and allocate resources.

*Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Standards*

In November 2024, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. Subsequently, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarified the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments in this pronouncement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on its financial statements.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, *Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity*. This ASU provides guidance for determining the accounting acquirer in a business combination involving a variable interest entity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact upon adoption.

*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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

*Fair Value Measurement*

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and operating lease commitments. Management believes that the estimated fair values of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable as of September 30, 2025, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:

● Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)

● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Company's Level 1 assets and liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable, prepaid expenses, and other current assets. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at September 30, 2025, approximates their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities include the Company's finance and operating lease assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts of these leases approximate their fair values, based on a comparison of the lease terms and the Company's incremental borrowing rates with those of similar leases available in the market.

Level 3 fair value measurements are derived from valuation techniques that include significant inputs that are not based on observable market data. When required, the Company uses discounted and undiscounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. These models rely on unobservable inputs, which reflect management's own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

*Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis*

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets.

*Cash and Cash Equivalents*

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity, or remaining maturity at the time of purchase, of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

*Investments*

Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings.

*Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties*

Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company's customers are primarily concentrated in the United States.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company's Nexxis subsidiary had four customers that individually accounted for approximately 28%, 14%, 11%, and 10% of the Company's total accounts receivable, respectively. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, one customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in the Company's Nexxis subsidiary.

*Accounts Receivable*

 

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Due to the monthly subscription nature of the services and positive collection history, this allowance has not been material.

*Property and Equipment*

Property and equipment, which consists primarily of office and computer equipment, are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for this equipment are generally five to seven years.

Additions, betterments, and replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred. As units of property are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income.

*Revenue Recognition*

The Company's continuing operations derive all revenue from its Nexxis subsidiary, which provides Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP"), Internet access, and data transport services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company's contracts are typically monthly subscription agreements. For these contracts, the Company has a single performance obligation: to provide continuous access to its VoIP, Internet, and/or data transport services over the contract term. This performance obligation is satisfied over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided.

Revenue is recognized ratably over the monthly service period. The Company's standard payment terms are monthly, and the transaction price is the fixed monthly subscription fee. Because the billing cycle corresponds directly to the service period, the Company does not have significant contract assets or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) at the end of a reporting period. All revenue from continuing operations is transacted in the United States in U.S. dollars.

*Advertising Costs*

The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as they are incurred. The Company incurred $5,613 and $9,087 for advertising costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company incurred $12,131 and $29,658 for advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

*Stock-Based Compensation*

The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC 718-10-10, *Share-Based Payments* with regards to stock-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees. The Company has agreements and arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to employees and consultants at various times as compensation and periodic bonuses. The expense for this stock-based compensation is equal to the fair value of the stock price on the day the stock was awarded multiplied by the number of shares awarded. The Company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the period is the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Risk-free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk-free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on management's best assessment.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company's stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company's calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

*Net Income Per Common Share*

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares of Common Stock from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

The following table sets forth the information needed to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024:

**Note 3 –Discontinued Operations** 

On September 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Cloud Solutions Business for a base purchase price of $40,000,000. At closing, the proceeds were contractually adjusted for a $1,500,000 escrow deposit and $431,537 in net adjustments for estimated closing date debt and working capital.

This resulted in total cash received at closing of $38,068,463. The transaction remains subject to final post-closing adjustments, which may be settled from the escrowed funds.

The operating results of these divested subsidiaries have been reclassified and are presented as "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The gain on the sale is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as follows:

This tax expense was determined based on management's preliminary analysis, which included estimates for the taxable gain on the sale, the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards based on a preliminary analysis and an estimate for state income taxes. The final tax expense is subject to change pending the completion of formal tax studies and final calculations and may be adjusted.*

***Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Discontinued Operations***

The Cloud Solutions Business derived revenue from subscription services for cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery, managed services, and the sale of equipment and software. Subscription revenue was recognized ratably over the contract term. Revenue from equipment and software sales was recognized at a point in time when control transferred to the customer. Goodwill and other intangible assets of the Cloud Solutions Business were tested for impairment annually. Property and equipment, primarily data center assets, were depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The major classes of assets and liabilities of the Cloud Solutions Business classified as discontinued operations were as follows:

**Note 5** **- Warrant Liability**

*Description of Warrants and Fundamental Transaction*

 

On July 21, 2021, the Company issued 1,031,250 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "July 2021 Warrants") to institutional investors. The July 2021 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share.

The July 2021 Warrant agreements contained a "Fundamental Transaction" provision stating that upon a merger, change in control, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, holders could elect to receive a cash payment equal to the Black-Scholes value of their July 2021 Warrants.

On September 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its CloudFirst division (see Note 3, "Discontinued Operations"). This transaction constituted a Fundamental Transaction, which triggered the cash-settlement provision for all outstanding July 2021 Warrants.

*Accounting Policy*

 

Prior to September 11, 2025, the July 2021 Warrants were classified as equity, as the cash-settlement provision was contingent and not probable of being triggered.

The triggering of the cash-settlement provision on September 11, 2025, required the July 2021 Warrants to be reclassified from equity to a liability at their fair value. The Company recognized an initial warrant liability of $2,461,663, which was recorded as a component of the gain on sale of discontinued operations.

The warrant liability is subject to remeasurement at fair value at each subsequent reporting period. For the period from the September 11, 2025 reclassification date through September 30, 2025, the change in the liability's fair value was determined by management to be immaterial.

*Fair Value Measurement*

 

The fair value of the warrant liability is measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the outstanding warrant liability as of September 30, 2025, were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Assumption** | **September 30, 2025** |
| Stock Price | $5.15 |
| Exercise Price | $6.15 |
| Expected Term (in years) | 1.3 years |
| Expected Volatility | 107.8% |
| Risk-Free Interest Rate | 3.8% |
| Expected Dividend Yield | 0.0% |

---

● **Expected Term:** The expected term represents the remaining contractual life of the warrants.

● **Expected Volatility:** The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term.

● **Risk-Free Interest Rate:** The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of valuation for instruments with a similar expected term.

● **Expected Dividend Yield:** The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, any cash dividends on its common stock.

*Warrant Liability Roll-Forward*

 

The following table provides a roll-forward of the warrant liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended September 30, 2025** | **Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025** |
| Beginning Balance | $— | $— |
| Reclassification from equity on 9/11/25 | 2461663 | 2461663 |
| Cash settlement of warrants | (1236825) | (1236825) |
| Ending Balance | $1224838 | $1224838 |

---

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, holders of 517,500 July 2021 Warrants elected to receive cash settlements totaling $1,236,825.

**Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity**

*Capital Stock*

The Company has 260,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. No shares of Preferred Stock are currently outstanding.

*At the Market Equity Distribution Agreement*

 

On July 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which it may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its Common Stock. Sales of shares of Common Stock under the Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280881) (the "Registration Statement") and a related prospectus supplement (the "ATM Prospectus"). The ATM Prospectus relates to the offering of up to $10,600,000 of shares of the Company's Common Stock. The issuance and sale, if any, of common stock under the Agreement is subject to the Company maintaining an effective registration statement. The Registration Statement was declared effective on July 26, 2024. To date, the Company has not made any sales under the Agreement.

*Common Stock Options*

A summary of the Company's options activity and related information follows:

---

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $383,734 and $50,451 was recognized in the Company's results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $507,018 and $140,566 was recognized in the Company's results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

The intrinsic value of outstanding options as of September 30, 2025, was $779,471.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company's stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company's calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of the Company over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

As of September 30, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company's share-based compensation plans.

The weighted average fair value of options granted, and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, are set forth in the table below.

<u>Dividends</u>

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of all common stock, shall entitle its holder to receive, but only out of funds that are legally available therefore, cash dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the Original Issue Date on the Original Issue Price for such share of Series A Preferred Stock, compounding annually unless paid by the Company. There are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

**Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company is currently not involved in any litigation that it believes could have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, its Common Stock, any of its subsidiaries or of the Company's or its subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

**Note 8 – Income Taxes**

The Company's provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items that arise during the period.

**Continuing Operations:** For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1,034,683 on its pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $2,347,855. This benefit resulted from a partial release of the Company's valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The taxable gain generated from the sale of the discontinued operation (discussed below) provided a source of income, allowing for the realization of these deferred tax assets which previously did not meet the "more likely than not" criteria. For the comparable 2024 period, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance.

**Discontinued Operations:** For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $116,975 and a related tax benefit of $31,624.

Separately, the Company completed the sale of its discontinued operation, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $24,802,105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company recorded a provision for federal and state income taxes on this gain of $7,330,816. This gain is treated as a significant, discrete item for tax purposes. The final tax expense is subject to change pending the completion of formal tax studies.

The final tax expense is subject to change pending the completion of formal tax studies and final calculations, and may be adjusted in the future. The $4,362,885 tax expense is recorded as a component of the "Net gain on sale of discontinued operation" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and as "Income taxes payable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**Note 10 – Equity Investment**

On May 21, 2025, the Company invested $100,000 in TG-17, Inc.("TG-17"), a privately held Delaware corporation, in exchange for shares of TG-17 Series CF Preferred Stock. The investment represents less than 20% of the outstanding equity of TG-17, Inc. and does not convey board representation, control rights, or any significant influence over the investee's operating or financial policies.

The investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, and accordingly, the Company accounts for the investment using the measurement alternative. Under this method, the investment is recorded at its original cost and is adjusted for any impairment or for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not identified any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate impairment of the investment, nor has it observed any transactions requiring a remeasurement of its carrying value. The investment is classified as a non-current asset on the balance sheet.

**Note 11 - Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated events that occurred through November 18, 2025, the date that the financial statements were issued, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the Company's disclosures in the financial statements other than as follows:

*Final Settlement of Warrant Liability*

 

In October 2025, subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2025, the Company completed the final settlement of its outstanding warrant liability, which was recorded at **$1,224,838** on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The full liability was extinguished through two actions:

● Cash payments totaling approximately $812,000 were made to holders who exercised their cash settlement rights.

● The remaining liability balance of approximately $412,000 was reclassified to Additional Paid-in Capital, as the 30-day period for holders to elect a cash settlement expired.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has no remaining liability associated with these warrants.

**Company Overview**

Data Storage Corporation ("Data Storage," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company") has been a leading provider of multi-cloud hosting, fully managed cloud services, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, IT automation, and voice & data solutions for more than twenty years. However, following the sale of our cloud solutions business on September 11, 2025, which consisted of the operations of our subsidiaries, CloudFirst Technologies Corporation and CloudFirst Europe Ltd., there has been a strategic shift in our operations. We continue to operate our subsidiary, Nexxis Inc. ("Nexxis"), a telecommunications and data solutions access company. We are focused on managing, building, expanding or acquiring synergetic technology companies that provide leading edge solutions that assist businesses and institutions improve our business processes. We intend to pursue acquisitions of companies in complementary and high-growth technology sectors.

At the closing of the sale of the CloudFirst business on September 11, 2025, we received $38,068,463 in cash. This amount was based on a contractual base purchase price of $40,000,000, adjusted at closing for a $1,500,000 escrow deposit and $431,537 in net adjustments for estimated closing date debt and working capital.

From this amount, we paid $2,434,172 for selling expenses and other transaction costs. As a result, our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflects net cash proceeds of $35,634,291 from the sale, net of cash selling expenses.

The net proceeds, after accounting for all transaction costs and estimated taxes, are reflected in the Gain on sale of discontinued operation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined that we will engage in a tender offer to repurchase from our shareholders up to 85% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time the tender offer is made, which our Board currently expects will be commenced in the fourth quarter of 2025. We intend to use 85% of our cash on hand on the date the tender offer is made, inclusive of the net sale proceeds received in connection with the sale of the CloudFirst business, net of certain expenses and taxes, to offer to repurchase up to 85% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in compliance with all relevant statutory requirements.

Our Board is actively evaluating multiple strategic alternatives for the use of the remaining sale proceeds, with the goal of maximizing long-term shareholder value. Some of the uses for such remaining cash include, without limitation:

● *Targeted Acquisitions in High-Growth Sectors* – We intend to leverage our management's expertise in technology and pursue acquisitions of companies in complementary and high-growth technology sectors which may include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Artificial
Intelligence (AI) Enabled Vertical SaaS (software-as-a-service) GPU infrastructure type services, IaaS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Cybersecurity solutions and related applications and services, such as
SOC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Investments in companies in various sectors

● *Sale or Merger of the Company* – Our Board may evaluate potential strategic interest in the public company itself, including a full sale, reverse merger, or other business combination with a third party that may benefit from our public listing, cash position, 250 million shares authorized and clean capital structure; and/or

● *A Hybrid of the Above Strategies* – We may pursue a combination of the above strategies for the remaining sale proceeds beyond those intended to be used for the tender offer.

The Board has not made a final determination regarding the use of proceeds received from consummation of the sale of the CloudFirst business in excess of those intended to be used for the tender offer, the terms of which have not been finalized. Any such actions will be subject to further review, market conditions, and, where required, shareholder approval. We are committed to maximizing shareholder value while maintaining flexibility to pursue the most advantageous path forward.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

Following the sale of our cloud solutions business on September 11, 2025, our continuing operations consist solely of our Nexxis subsidiary. The historical operations of the divested business have been reclassified and are presented as "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Accordingly, the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations focuses on our continuing operations (Nexxis) for the periods presented.

**Three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to September 30, 2024**

 *Sales and Gross Profit*

Sales from our continuing operations, which consist of our Nexxis subsidiary, were $416,956 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $91,657, or 28.2%, from $325,299 in the same period last year due to an expanding customer base. The increase was primarily driven by the continued expansion of our voice and data telecommunications solutions to new and existing customers.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $198,499, an increase of $54,032, or 37.4%, compared to $144,467 in the third quarter of 2024. Our gross profit margin improved to 47.6% from 44.4% in the prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to successful cost management and scaling efficiencies as our subscription revenue base grows.

**Selling, general and administrative expenses.** For the three months ended September 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $312,875, or 31.8%, to $1,296,974 from $984,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $429,483, or 396.4%, increase in non-cash stock-based compensation primarily related to the accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with the Divestiture, which triggered a fundamental transaction clause in equity award agreements with employees. Salaries and director fees also increased by $40,202, or 10.7%, due to annual merit-based adjustments. These increases were partially offset by a $119,243, or 30.1%, decrease in professional fees as certain legal and consulting projects from the prior year were completed.

**Income from continuing operations, net of tax.** income from continuing operations was $129,555 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $678,862 in the prior year period. The change compared to the prior period was primarily due to an income tax benefit recorded in the 2025 period, offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation.

**Interest Income.** Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $193,347, compared to $160,770 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The 20.3% increase in other income was primarily due to higher interest income earned on our portfolio of marketable securities, which was significantly expanded using the net proceeds from the sale of our cloud solutions business (the "Divestiture").

**Nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to September 30, 2024**

*Sales and Gross Profit*

 

Sales from our continuing operations were $1,057,651 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $158,516, or 17.6%, from $899,135 in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by an expanding customer base in our Nexxis voice and data solutions business.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $477,458, an increase of $83,007, or 21.0%, compared to $394,451 in the prior-year period. Our gross profit margin improved to 45.1% from 43.9% in the prior-year period, driven by favorable sales mix and operating leverage.

---

**Selling, general and administrative expenses.** For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $375,693, or 13.1%, to $3,242,833 from $2,867,140 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $662,772, or 193.2%, increase in non-cash stock-based compensation primarily related to the accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with the Divestiture, which triggered a fundamental transaction clause in equity award agreements with employees. Salaries and director fees increased $176,663, or 15.0%, attributable to annual merit-based salary adjustments. These increases were significantly offset by a $404,000, or 37.2%, decrease in professional fees, primarily related to lower legal and consulting expenses in the current year.

**Loss from continuing operations, net of tax.** Loss from continuing operations, net of tax was $1,313,172 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $2,016,109 in the prior year period. The decreased loss was primarily due to a tax benefit recorded in the 2025 period, partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

**Interest Income.** Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $417,520, compared to $456,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The 8.6% decrease was primarily due to lower average balances of marketable securities held during the first eight months of 2025 as compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by an increase in interest income generated in the last 19 days of the third quarter from the investment of the net proceeds from the Divestiture.

**Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.** For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $17,846,470. This gain is net of transaction costs and the reclassification of the warrant liability. This gain was partially offset by a loss from the operations of the CloudFirst business of $116,975 for the period of January 1, 2025, through the sale date of September 11, 2025.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

*Sale of CloudFirst Businesses*

On September 11, 2025, we completed the Divestiture, which consisted of our CloudFirst and CloudFirst UK segments, for gross proceeds of $40.0 million. The sale was approved by shareholders on September 10, 2025.

We received net cash proceeds of approximately $38.1 million, which is net of $1.5 million placed in escrow and a working capital adjustment. As of September 30, 2025, we paid transaction costs of $3.7 million (including $1.2 million of contractual warrant repurchases and $2.4 million of direct transaction costs). Additionally, we have accrued $4.4 million in estimated income taxes payable related to the Divestiture and in October 2025, paid $0.8 million of contractual warrant repurchases. Furthermore, these proceeds are subject to final post-closing adjustments for net working capital and closing date debt, which are expected to be paid by amounts held in escrow.

This significant influx of cash has fundamentally altered our liquidity and capital resources. Management's new strategy is to use the proceeds remaining after the tender offer for strategic investments and acquisitions in high-growth technology sectors, including GPU Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), AI-driven software, and cybersecurity. We also intend to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds to return capital to shareholders. We believe that our current cash and marketable securities resulting from the sale are sufficient to fund our continuing operations and new strategic initiatives at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q future.

*Overview of Liquidity and Cash Flows*

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

To the extent we are successful in identifying potential acquisition targets and negotiating the terms of such acquisitions, and where the purchase price may include a cash component, we expect to use our working capital and the proceeds of any financing it may engage in to finance such acquisition costs.

Our conclusion concerning our liquidity is based on current information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, we may not be able to meet our liquidity needs, which may require a reduction in selling general and administrative expenses, including salaries for officers that are major shareholders.

On July 18, 2024, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with Maxim, discussed in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through Maxim, as sales agent or principal, shares of our common stock. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to raise capital from sales under the Agreement. To date, we have not made any sales under the Agreement.

The Company's working capital in the company's continuing operations was $46,749,512 on September 30, 2025, increasing by $34,829,443 from $11,920,069 at, December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the disposition of the CloudFirst business. The working capital at, December 31, 2024, included the assets and liabilities of the business that was subsequently sold, while the working capital at, September 30, 2025, reflects only our continuing operations (Nexxis Inc.) and the net proceeds from the Divestiture.

**Cash Flows for nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024**

The following table summarizes our cash flows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations | $(1145839) | $(1637378) |
| Cash provided by (used in) investing activities of continuing operations | 1423190 | (58722) |
| Cash provided by (used in) financing activities of continuing operations | (824051) | 88732 |
| Cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations | (248633) | 692356 |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | 9950 |  |
| Decrease in cash | (785383) | (915012) |
| Cash, beginning of period | 1070097 | 1428730 |
| Cash, end of period | $284714 | $513718 |

---

**Operating Activities:** Cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.6 million used in the prior-year period. The cash used in 2025 was primarily driven by the loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million, which was largely offset by non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.0 million and other non-cash charges.

**Investing Activities:** Cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash used of $58,722 in the same period of the prior year. The cash provided in 2025 was primarily driven by the $35,634,291 in net cash received from the sale of the CloudFirst business. These proceeds were almost entirely deployed into marketable securities, as reflected in the $38.5 million in purchases and $4.3 million in sales of marketable securities during the period.

**Financing Activities:** Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $824,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash provided of $88,732 in the same period of the prior year. The significant cash use in 2025 was the $1,236,825 cash settlement of warrants issued in a private placement offering consummated in July 2021 (the "July 2021 Warrants") following the trigger of the Fundamental Transaction provision in the July 2021 Warrants. This was partially offset by $412,774 in proceeds from stock option exercises.

**Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations:** Cash used in discontinued operations was $248,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash provided of $692,356 in the prior-year period. This represents the net cash flows from the CloudFirst business for the period of January 1, 2025, through the sale date of September 11, 2025.

**<u>Critical Accounting Estimates</u>**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results may differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. There are accounting policies, each of which requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management, that we believe are significant to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting estimates that affect the consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described under Part II, Item 7 of the 2024 Annual Report.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities".

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

As a smaller reporting company this item is not required.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act defines "disclosure controls and procedures" as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2025.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. As set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on the evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**.

During the course of the review for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This material weakness relates specifically to the design and execution of controls over the accounting and disclosure of significant and unusual transactions, specifically the controls related to the analysis used in the financial reporting process and the related income tax implications of the divestiture of a material portion of our business, which occurred late in the quarter.

The material weakness resulted from deficiencies in the controls over the analysis used in the financial reporting process, particularly in evaluating the accounting and tax consequences of this complex transaction. As a result, our existing controls did not operate effectively to ensure that such transaction was appropriately assessed and disclosed.

In order to remediate this material weakness, management plans to implement the following steps to strengthen our internal control environment:

● Enhancing internal review procedures to ensure that significant and unusual transactions are identified, analyzed, and reviewed with appropriate rigor each quarter.

● Engaging appropriate internal and external resources to support the evaluation of complex transactions, including the related income tax implications, where specialized expertise is required.

● Providing additional training to relevant personnel on the accounting and disclosure requirements for significant and unusual transactions.

Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation efforts and will make further adjustments to the plan as necessary to ensure the material weakness is fully addressed.

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to it, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and the risk factors set forth in our 2024 Annual Report, together with all the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," contained in our 2024 Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

***The Company has not generated a significant amount of net income, and it may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.***

As reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders of $16.1 million and $15.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $0.3 million, marketable securities of $45.4 million, and working capital in its continuing operations of $46.7 million. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to generate income in the future or be profitable.

***We may need to raise additional capital to acquire companies in complementary and high-growth technology sectors and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.***

 ****

We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our anticipated acquisition activities. For the foreseeable future we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from revenue generated from operations and equity and debt offerings and cash on hand.

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our acquisitions, and we cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business and also have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. We currently do not have any commitment for funding. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that may be sold. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the funds needed, especially in light of the fact that our ability to sell securities registered on our registration statement on Form S-3 will be limited until such time the market value of our voting securities held by non-affiliates is $75 million or more.

***We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which could adversely affect our ability to report our financial results accurately and in a timely manner.***

 ****

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness relates to the design and execution of controls over the accounting and disclosure of significant and unusual transactions, including the related income tax implications. This weakness was identified in connection with the divestiture of a material portion of our business that occurred late in the quarter.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Although we are actively implementing a remediation plan, including enhancing internal review procedures and engaging appropriate internal and external resources, the material weakness has not yet been fully remediated.

If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act. During the third quarter of 2025, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the accounting for significant and unusual transactions. Specifically, the controls related to the analysis utilized in the financial reporting process and the related income tax implication of the significant and unusual transactions. Management plans to fully remediate the identified material weakness in internal controls, however, there can be no assurance that the internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future. In addition, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively.

***A shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business.***

 ****

A recurring shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business operations and regulatory compliance. During such shutdowns, while the SEC's EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of SEC staff to review filings, issue comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings, respond to comment letters, or obtain timely regulatory approvals. These delays could impact our access to capital markets, hinder strategic transactions, and create uncertainty around our disclosure obligations. Additionally, the lack of interpretive guidance or exemptive relief during a shutdown may increase legal and compliance risks. There can be no assurance that future shutdowns will not materially affect our operations or financial condition.

***Our growth may be impacted by acquisitions. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully.***

Our future growth may depend in part on our ability to acquire and successfully integrate new businesses. Our Board is actively evaluating multiple strategic alternatives for the use of the remaining sale proceeds, which as stated above, include targeted acquisitions in high growth sectors, a reverse merger or a hybrid of the foregoing. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, or integrate acquisitions successfully. Once acquired, operations may not achieve anticipated levels of revenues or profitability. Acquisitions involve risks, including difficulties in the integration of the operations, technologies, services, and products of the acquired companies and the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular transaction, there are no assurances that we will properly ascertain all such risks. Difficulties encountered with acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Upon exercise of the Company's outstanding options or warrants, the Company will be obligated to issue a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock which will dilute its present shareholders.***

The Company is obligated to issue additional shares of its Common Stock in connection with any exercise or conversion, as applicable, of its outstanding options, warrants, and shares of its convertible preferred stock. The exercise of warrants or options will cause the Company to issue additional shares of its Common Stock and will dilute the percentage ownership of its shareholders. In addition, the Company has in the past, and may in the future, exchange outstanding securities for other securities on terms that are dilutive to the securities held by other shareholders not participating in such an exchange.

***The Company may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs.***

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into agreements similar to the Divestiture involving a sale of a line of business or other business combinations. In addition, the Company may be subject to private actions, collective actions, investigations, and various other legal proceedings by shareholders, customers, employees, competitors, government agencies, or others. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs, damage to the Company's reputation, and divert significant amounts of management time and resources. If any of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to the Company, or the Company were to enter into a settlement arrangement, it could be exposed to monetary damages or limits on its ability to operate its business, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, liquidity financial condition, and operating results. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits having been filed in connection with the Divestiture.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

*(a) Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities*

There were no unregistered sales of the Company's equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

*(b) Use of Proceeds*

Not applicable.

*(c) Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities*

None.

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.**

There were no defaults upon senior securities during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**

Not Applicable.

**Item 5. Other Information.**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
