Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “CONX” “CNXX,” “CONX Corp,” “we,” “us,” the “registrant” or the “Company” refer to CONX Corp. and its subsidiaries (as applicable).
CONX Corp. (the “Company” or “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in Nevada on August 26, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with
On October 15, 2024, the Company formed
On November 15, 2024, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, CONX Properties, LLC, under the laws of Colorado (“CONX Properties”). The subsidiary was established to hold and manage all real estate holdings of the Company. On December 20, 2024, CONX Properties assumed the lease and was assigned the deed of the commercial real estate Property in Littleton, Colorado, described below, from CONX Corp.
Prior to the completion of the asset acquisition, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from August 26, 2020 (inception) through May 1, 2024 related to the Company’s initial public offering and subsequent search for a potential Business Combination target. The Company did not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination.
Completion of Business Combination
On March 10, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated May 1, 2024, the “Purchase Agreement”) with EchoStar Real Estate Holding L.L.C.

Furthermore, DBSI disclaimed any responsibility for any portion of any registration statement or proxy statement, as applicable, that may be filed by the Company or any of its affiliates in connection with the Transaction. In connection with this, the Company reclassified the deferred underwriting fee of $

On June 24, 2024, the Company withdrew its appeal of the Panel’s decision and the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council did not call the matter for review. On July 19, 2024, Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The delisting became effective on July 29, 2024. The Company’s Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are traded on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “CNXX” and “CNXXW,” respectively.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 28, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ended December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We routinely assess the financial strength of significant customers. As discussed in Note 1, the Property is leased to one tenant pursuant to the Seller Lease Agreement. As the tenant currently has liquidity concerns evidenced by going concern disclosure in its public filings, we will continue to monitor the realization of the rent receivable under the Seller Lease Agreement.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. Specifically, rent receivable previously classified within current assets has been reclassified to non-current assets to reflect the portion of rent receivable that is not expected to be collected within twelve months. This reclassification was made to improve comparability between periods and did not impact previously reported net income, total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows.
8
Debt and Equity Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt Securities, ASC 326 - 30, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Available - for - Sale Debt Securities, and ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. Securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value as of each balance sheet date.
Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, until realized. Realized gains and losses are recognized in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations when the securities are sold or otherwise disposed of.
The Company evaluates its available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment at each reporting date. In making this assessment, management considers the duration and severity of any decline in fair value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment until recovery of its amortized cost basis.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 805. The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as Goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and are included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of acquired developed technologies, customer relationships, trademarks, and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense is included in General and Administrative Expenses, as appropriate. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying value to the undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount exceeds undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and the asset’s fair value.
Research and Development Tax Credit
The Company recognizes the benefit of research and development (“R&D”) tax credits as a reduction to income tax expense in the period the related qualified expenditures are incurred and when realization is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets related to unutilized R&D credits are evaluated for recoverability based on expected future taxable income and other relevant factors.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Company maintains the 2024 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, which authorizes grants of non-statutory stock options to non-employee directors. Option awards are measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized as expense on the grant date when the awards are fully vested. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
9
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
Segment Reporting
The Company operates through
The Company routinely evaluates whether its operating and reportable segments continue to reflect the way the CODM evaluates the business. The determination is based on: (1) how the Company’s CODM evaluates the performance of the business, including resource allocation decisions, and (2) whether discrete financial information for each operating segment is available.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s operating and reportable segments include:
| ● | Technology & Telecommunications – The Technology & Telecommunications segment is comprised of Red Technologies and derives revenue from providing cloud-based solutions and operated 5G connectivity solutions that democratize access to 5G technology for companies aiming to modernize their communications infrastructure in both the U.S. and European markets. |
| ● | Infrastructure & Real Estate - The Infrastructure & Real Estate segment includes the operation of our commercial Property in Littleton, Colorado, comprising the headquarters of DISH Wireless. We derive revenue primarily from rent received from the operation of real estate property. |
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the following key metrics:

Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer, with the Technology & Telecommunications segment generating revenue primarily in France and the Infrastructure & Real Estate segment generating revenue in North America. Substantially all long-lived assets are located in North America.
10
Segment asset information is not presented because it is not used by the CODM at the segment level.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company accounts for convertible preferred stock in accordance with ASC 480 and related guidance. Convertible preferred stock is classified as a liability if it is mandatorily redeemable or redeemable at the option of the holder upon events outside the Company’s control. Such instruments are initially measured at fair value on the issuance date and subsequently at redemption value, with changes recognized in earnings if applicable.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants and the Equity Forward as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
The Company’s Public and Private Warrants derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as of the Initial Public Offering (November 3, 2020) and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the Balance Sheet date. The Company has determined the Warrants are a derivative instrument. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the warrants are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
The Equity Forward was a liability classified instrument in accordance with ASC 480 because the underlying instrument contains a contingent redemption feature. The Equity Forward was recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and re-valued at each reporting period, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the Company was required to place net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement in a Trust Account, which had been invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of
Effective October 12, 2022, the Company converted all of its investments in the Trust Account into cash, which remained in the Trust Account. On September 29, 2023, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing deposit account with a financial institution in the United States. Accordingly, following the transfer to an interest-bearing deposit account, the amount of interest income (which we were permitted to use to pay our taxes and up to $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The determination of the fair value of the warrant and equity forward liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets and equity investment is a significant accounting
11
estimate included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $
Fixed Assets, Net of Accumulated Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Because the Company and Seller are entities under common control, the Property was initially recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at the Seller’s cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Because the Company and the Seller are entities under common control, the Property was initially recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at the Seller’s historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The difference between the purchase consideration and the carrying value of the Property was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over useful lives ranging from
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. Contractual rental revenue is reported on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent Receivable, as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represents cumulative rental income earned in excess of rent payments received pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement.
The Company must estimate the collectability of its Rent Receivable balances related to rental revenue. When evaluating the collectability of such balances, management considers the tenant’s creditworthiness, changes in the tenant’s payment patterns, and current economic trends. The Company writes off the tenant’s receivable balances if the Company considers the balances no longer probable of collection.
Red Technologies provides cloud-based 5G connectivity solutions to companies seeking to modernize their communications infrastructure. For the periods presented, the Company did not generate material revenue, as its activities have been primarily focused on research and development.
Future revenues may arise from licensing arrangements, collaboration agreements, or service contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer.
| ● | Licensing and collaboration revenues are recognized when the customer obtains control of the license or access to the technology. |
| ● | Service revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed. |
| ● | Upfront or advance payments received before performance obligations are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. |
Because Red Technologies’ operations to date have focused on product development, no material revenue has been recognized for the periods presented.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates and may have an allowance for doubtful accounts to estimate expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, which is based on historical collection experience, the aging of receivables, customer credit quality, and current and expected economic conditions.

Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Accretion associated with the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. The calculations above take into account the effect of the Company’s convertible preferred stock on an as-converted basis. When calculating its diluted net income (loss) per share, however, the Company has not considered the effect of the (i) Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the Private Placement Warrants since the exercise of such warrants is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires additional disclosure of income taxes, including disaggregation of the effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. The ASU provides a practical expedient to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and believes that the adoption will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our Consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Acquisitions
On December 5, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of Red Technologies SAS. The acquisition of Red Technologies SAS was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company estimated the purchase price, assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recognized as goodwill.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating the acquired an FCC License, a government authorization to use communication frequencies (“Operational License”), with the Company’s offerings as well as acquiring an assembled workforce. The goodwill balance is not deductible for income tax purposes.
As part of the purchase consideration, the Company agreed to make additional payments contingent on the occurrence of certain future events. The contingent consideration is required to be settled in cash and, in accordance with ASC 805-30-25-5 and ASC 480, has been classified as a liability. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at $
As of March 31, 2025, the contingent consideration liability was remeasured to fair value of $

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
20
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31,2024, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to

Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of cash equivalents held in the Company’s investment account was equal to or approximated fair value due to their short-term nature and proximity to current market rates. Cash equivalents primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills and other highly liquid debt securities with original maturities of three months or less.
The Company determines the fair value of its marketable debt instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Trades executed on or near the measurement date are considered the best evidence of fair value. When quoted prices for identical securities are not available, the Company utilizes matrix pricing or other market-corroborated valuation techniques that consider such factors as par value, coupon rate, credit quality, maturity, and other relevant features.
Available for Sale Securities
The Company’s marketable debt securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses (net of tax) included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific-identification method. The Company assesses its available-for-sale investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and if a decline in fair value is deemed other-than-temporary, the amortized cost basis of the security is written down through earnings.
At March 31, 2025, the Company held
Equity investments at fair value – EchoStar Holdings

The asset associated with the equity investment is measured at fair value on the closing of the PIPE investment and on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the equity as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker, SATS. SATS is publicly traded and subject to active market quotations, the Company has determined that its fair value is readily observable in the open market. Accordingly, the fair value of the security is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical instruments. As such, the security is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the PIPE Investment was as of November 12, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a decrease in fair value of $
The following tables present the changes in the fair value of equity investments at fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024:

Contingent Consideration
The contingent consideration liability recognized in connection with the acquisition of Red Tech is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model, which incorporates management’s estimates regarding the likelihood of achieving specified performance milestones, expected timing of payments, and a risk-adjusted discount rate.
Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in earnings within other (income) expense, net in the period of remeasurement.
Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:

The liability associated with the Warrants is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is classified as Level 2, as the observable market quote under the ticker CNXXW does not reflect an active market due to limited trading volume. Although quoted prices are available, the market is not considered active under ASC 820, and therefore the fair value measurement does not qualify as a Level 1 input.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, we generate revenues from rent received under the Seller Lease Agreement. Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of RED Technologies, RED Technologies generated revenues that were not material to the Company’s results of operations for the period presented.
The following table sets forth our results of operations for the periods presented. The data has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 3, 2020, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 75,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $750.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 11,333,333 Private Placement Warrants to nXgen at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $17 million.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $750.0 million was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $42.3 million in transaction costs, including $15 million of underwriting fees, $26.3 million of deferred underwriting fees (which deferred underwriting commission was waived by the underwriters) and $1 million of other costs in connection with our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.
On March 1, 2023, nXgen agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $250,000 for working capital purposes. The Company issued a promissory note to nXgen to evidence the loan. On November 2, 2023, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “Restated Note”) in the principal amount of up to $550,000 to nXgen. The Restated Note amended, restated, replaced and superseded that certain promissory note dated March 1, 2023, in the principal amount of $250,000. On March 25, 2024, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “Second Restated Note”) to nXgen. The Second Restated Note amended, restated, replaced and superseded the Restated Note to increase the principal amount available for borrowings thereunder from up to $550,000 to up to $900,000. The Second Restated Note did not bear interest, matured on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and was subject to customary events of default. The Second Restated Note was to be repaid only to the extent that the Company had funds available to it outside of its Trust Account established in connection with its Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had borrowed $900,000 under the Second Restated Note. As of the May 1, 2024, the Company satisfied and discharged its obligations under the Second Restated Note by repaying in full the principal amount to nXgen.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,218,867, primarily reflecting adjustments for non-cash items such as general and administrative expenses, the change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, change in fair value of contingent consideration, interest income earned on investments, and changes in working capital, including accrued expenses and income taxes payable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $405,027.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $3,540,440, which included the purchase of available for sale securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $0.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $0. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 related to the cash received from the working capital loan.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $115,200,363. As of March 31, 2024 we had operating cash of $103,135 and investments held in the Trust Account of $22,216,917.
On May 1, 2024, the Company completed its Asset Acquisition. In addition, on May 1, 2024, the Company completed the Equity Forward Transaction, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company aggregating approximately $200 million. In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into the Seller Lease Agreement, which results in annual rental revenue of approximately $3 million.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and determined that the Company’s sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of the March 31, 2025 financial statements. Accordingly, no conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies, except as described below.
Preferred Stock Liability
We account for our Preferred Stock as a liability due to the conversion feature being considered non-substantive under applicable accounting guidance. However, the Company determined that the redemption features associated with the Preferred Stock are to be considered as clearly and closely related to the host contract and, therefore, do not require separate reporting at fair value for each reporting period.
In accordance with ASC 480-10 and after considering several factors, the Company determined that the issue price of $11.50 per share is deemed to be (or approximate) the fair value of the Preferred Stock at the issuance date. Because the settlement date for the Preferred Stock varies based on specified conditions, the Company’s determined that the Preferred Stock should be measured subsequently at the same per share amount as the issue price, which is the price that would be paid by the Company if the Preferred Stock were redeemed at the reporting date.
Business Combination
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, allocating the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess recorded as goodwill.
The fair value determinations involve significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly for identifiable intangible assets such as non-compete agreements and regulatory authorizations. Valuations are developed using income and cost approaches that rely on assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and useful lives.
Because these estimates are inherently subjective and depend on forward-looking assumptions, changes in market conditions or revisions to key inputs could materially affect the allocation of purchase consideration, the amount of goodwill recognized, and subsequent amortization expense.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer (our “Certifying Officer”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, due to the material weakness we have identified in our internal control over financial reporting described in management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting set forth below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
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 annual or interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our management concluded that there were material weaknesses related to (i) our accounting for complex financial instruments, including debt, equity and derivative instruments, and non-recurring transactions, and (ii) insufficient qualified accounting personnel, accounting systems, segregation of duties and information technology controls. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our accounting for complex financial instruments and non-recurring transactions, and to enhance analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. We can offer no assurance that our remediation plan will ultimately have the intended effects.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes In Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than management’s remediation efforts described above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 28, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
