Risks
Relating to RWT’sRET’s Status as an Emerging Company
RWT RET
has a limited operating history and has notgenerated yetlimited generated
anyrevenues revenues,to date, which makes it difficult to forecast its future results of
operations.
As
a result of RWT’sRET’s limited operating history, its ability to
accurately forecast the future results of operations is limited and
subject to a number of uncertainties, including RWT’sRET’s ability
to plan for and model future growth. RWT’sRET’s ability to generate
revenues will largely be dependent on its ability to develop and
improve ionization rainfall generationAEI technology, and market and sell its services and products. RWT’s
RET’s business model is in the
early stages of developmentdevelopment, and its technical roadmap may not be realized as quickly as hoped,
or even at all. The development of RWT’s
RET’s business model will likely require the incurrence of significant costs, while RWT’s RET’s
revenues will be impacted by technological,
go-to-market, and operational advancements which may not occur on the currently anticipated
timetable or at all. Further, in future periods,
RWT’s RET’s growth could slow or decline for a number of reasons, including but not
limited to slow market acceptance, increased competition,
competing technology, inability to develop, improve or effectively scale up RWT’s
RET’s technology, a decrease in the growth of the overall
market, government regulation, or RWT’sRET’s failure, for any reason,
to continue to take advantage of growth opportunities.
RWT RET
will also encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced
by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If RWT’s RET’s
assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and its future
growth are incorrect or change, or if RWTRET does not address these risks
successfully, RWT’sRET’s operating and financial results could
differ materially from its expectations, and its business could suffer. RWT’s
RET’s success as a business ultimately relies upon fundamental
researchcontinued research, development, and developmentcommercialization breakthroughsefforts inover the coming years and decade.
years. There is no certainty these research and development milestones
will be achieved as quickly as hoped, or even at all.
RWT RET
expects to incur significant expenses and losses for the
foreseeable future.
RWT RET
believes that it will incur operating and net losses until it is
able to grow its one-to-many business model at scale, deliver a robust,
sustainable pipeline of clients and acquire long-term, multi-annual
contracts. Among other things, RWTRET will incur ongoing expenses in
connection with the design, development and manufacturing of its technology,
conduct and expansion of its research and development activities,
increases in its sales and marketing activities, development of its
distribution infrastructure, and increases in its general and administrative
functions to support its growing operations.
RWT RET
may find that these efforts are more expensive than it currently
anticipates or that these efforts may not result in revenues, which
would further increase RWT’sRET’s losses. If RWTRET is unable to achieve
and/or sustain profitability, or if RWTRET is unable to achieve the
growth that it expects, it could have a material effect on RWT’s
RET’s business, financial condition or results of operations. RWT’s RET’s
business model is unproven and may never allow it to cover its costs.
RWT’s RET’s
estimates of market opportunity and growth forecasts
may prove to be inaccurate.
Market
opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, including those
RWT RET has generated itself, are subject to significant uncertainty and are
based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate.
RWT’s RET’s business plan assumes a strong sales pipeline of actionable
client targets that can be converted to revenue-generating clients
beginning in 2025.clients. However, RWT does notRET currently havehas clients,limited commercial engagements and is
in the early stages of deploying pilot projects and evaluation programs with certain public and research stakeholders, and the variables
that go into the calculation of RWT’sRET’s client
acquisition forecasts are subject to change over time. There is no guarantee that
any particular number or percentage of clients or companies
covered by its estimates will purchase its products at all or generate any
particular level of revenue for RWT.RET. Any growth of RWT’s
RET’s business depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance,
and perceived value associated with its technology.
RWT’s RET’s
success will also depend upon its ability to expand, scale
its operations, and increase its sales capability. RWT’sRET’s business model
allows for affordable installation and manufacturing costs,
expected to initially be approximately $280,000 per system, which price point
will allow clients to be “laddered up” with
a “land and expand” sales strategy, which will also involve continued
involvement with RWTRET as it expects to be the sole operator
for its rainfallrain and snowfall generation services. The all-in cost per system
is expected to be approximately $425,000$425,000, thatwhich includes labor, a meteorologistmeteorologist, installation and
other relatedmanufacturing costs. However, RWTRET is
currently deploying and evaluating its systems through pilot projects and collaborative programs designed to measure potential rainfall
enhancement and other atmospheric effects, but has not implemented such strategy with any revenue-generating clients as of the date of
this Annual Report, and cannot
assure you that it will be successful. Further, unforeseen issues associated with scaling up the technology
at commercially viable levels
could negatively impact RWT’sRET’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
RWT’s RET’s
growth is dependent upon its ability to successfully
support and service its clients.
Because RWT’s
RET’s platform is expected to be unique in certain respects,
its future clients will require particular support and service functions, some
of which are not currently available, and may never be
available. If RWTRET is unable to attract and retain the service and support staff
needed in its client locations, it may not be able to
successfully launch pilot projects or support and maintain the installation and
operation of projects that have been sold. If RWTRET experiences
delays in adding such support capacity or servicing its future clients
efficiently, or experiences unforeseen issues with the reliability
of its platform, it could overburden RWT’sRET’s servicing and support
capabilities. Similarly, increasing the number of RWTRET products
and services would require it to rapidly increase the availability of
these services. Failure to adequately support and service its future
clients may inhibit RWT’sRET’s growth and ability to expand.
RWT RET
may not manage growth effectively.
RWT’s RET’s
failure to manage growth effectively could harm its business,
results of operations and financial condition. RWTRET anticipates that a period
of significant expansion will be required to address potential
growth. This expansion will place a significant strain on RWT’s RET’s
management, operational and financial resources. Expansion will
require significant cash investments and management resources and there
is no guarantee that they will generate additional sales of RWT’s
RET’s products or services, or that RWTRET will be able to avoid cost
overruns or be able to hire additional personnel to support them. In addition,
RWT RET will also need to ensure its compliance with regulatory
requirements in various jurisdictions applicable to the sale, installation
and servicing of its products. To manage the growth of its
operations and personnel, RWTRET must establish appropriate and scalable operational
and financial systems, procedures and controls and
establish and maintain a qualified finance, administrative and operations staff. RWT
RET may be unable to acquire the necessary capabilities
and personnel required to manage growth or to identify, manage and exploit potential
strategic relationships and market opportunities.
RWT RET
will need additional capital to pursue its business objectives
and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances,
and it cannot be sure that additional financing will be
available.
RWT RET
will need additional capital to pursue its
business objectives. RWT’sRET’s business and its future plans for expansion are capital-intensive
and the specific timing of cash inflows
and outflows may fluctuate substantially from period to period. RWT management currently estimates approximately $6.3 million and approximately
$62 million in expenses for its one-year and five-year business plan.
As

Companywe will be able to obtain additional capital for itsour five-yearfuture business plan.
RWT’s RET’s
operating plan may change because of factors currently
unknown, and RWTRET may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through
public or private equity or debt financings or other sources,
such as strategic collaborations. Such financings may result in dilution
to stockholders, issuance of securities with priority as to liquidation
and dividend and other rights more favorable than common stock,
imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions
that may adversely affect its business. In addition, RWT RET
may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations
even if it believes that it has sufficient
funds for current or future operating plans. There can be no assurance that financing will
be available to RWTRET on favorable terms, or
at all. The inability to obtain financing when needed may make it more difficult for RWTRET to
operate its business or implement its growth
plans.
Risks
Relating to RWT’sRET’s Business and Industry
There
are many risks and uncertainties that may affect RWT’s
RET’s operations, performance, development and results. Many of these risks are
beyond RWT’sRET’s control. The following is a description of
the important risk factors that may affect RWT’sRET’s business and industry.
If any of these risks were to actually occur, RWT’s
RET’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to RWTRET or that RWTRET currently considers to be immaterial may
also materially adversely affect its business, financial condition
or results of operations.
We have a history of operating losses, limited cash resources and substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history and have not yet generated significant revenue from operations. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $214,000 in cash and a working capital deficit of approximately $13.0 million. We expect to continue to incur operating losses as we continue developing, deploying and evaluating our AEI technology.
Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain additional financing, generate revenue and manage operating expenses. We have historically relied on related-party financing arrangements, including borrowings under our line of credit, and we have used a substantial portion of the available capacity under such arrangements. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing or generate sufficient revenue, we may be required to delay, reduce or discontinue certain operations, manufacturing activities installations or development activities, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Such material weaknesses could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner, could result in the loss of investor confidence, listing deficiencies or delisting from Nasdaq and litigation and adversely affect the trading of our securities.
We have identified a material weakness
in our internal control over financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and determined that it had not been
remediated as of December 31, 2024. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting,
we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us
and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and
the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).GAAP. Our management is likewise
required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses
identified through such evaluation in those
internal controls. 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 consolidated financial statements will
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This Annual Report includes a restatement of our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our (i) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, and (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2025. As described elsewhere in this Annual Report, the Company should have recorded the premium financing agreement in connection with its insurance policy as a liability, with an offset to prepaid expenses, upon its execution in January 2025. The error was identified as part of the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a result, our management has concluded that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2025. See “Item 9A—Controls and Procedures” within this Annual Report for a description of these matters.
The Company intends to take steps to remediate this material weakness, including enhancing its internal controls over the accounting and review of recurring transactions, including insurance premium financing arrangements. Specifically, the Company plans to improve its accounting policies and implement a review control as part of the period-end close process to ensure such transactions are appropriately identified, evaluated, and recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. While the Company is committed to remediation, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to the accounting for financed insurance premiums, see “Note 2—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as “Item 9A—Controls and Procedures” included in this Annual Report.
We havepreviously identified a material weakness in our
internal control over
financial reporting as of and for the year ended December 31, 20232023, regarding the calculation of deferred tax assets
and disclosure of
income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Classification
(“ASC”)
Topic 740, “Income Taxes.”. This misstatement led to a change in accounting for the correction of the
error in calculating
the gross deferred tax asset and the offsetting valuation allowance, as well as the omission of certain income tax
disclosures. However,
it did not impact RWT’sRET’s liquidity, cash flows, or operating costs during the period covered by RWT’s RET’s
audited consolidated
financial statements. RWT’sDuring 2024 and 2025, management determinedimplemented remediation measures designed to address this
material weakness, including enhancing internal review procedures and engaging external specialists to assist with the preparation and
review of the income tax provision and related disclosures. Based on these actions and management’s evaluation of the related controls,
management concluded that thesuch material weakness had not beenwas remediated as of December 31, 2024. For
a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified related to such issues, see “Note 2”
of RWT’s audited consolidated financial statements including in the prospectus filed with the SEC on December 12, 2024.2025.
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 consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls
are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material
weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately
have the intended effects.
We intend to take steps to remediate this material
weakness, including plans to hire or engage a specialist to assist in the preparation of the income tax provision and disclosures. The
elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately
have the intended effects.

If Holdco’s efforts are not successful or otherfurther material weaknesses or control deficiencies occur in the future,future. HoldcoOur current and potential future material weaknesses may cause us
to be unable
to report itsour financial results accurately and on a timely basis, which could cause Holdco’sour reported financial results to be
materially materially
misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence and cause the market price of theour Class A Commoncommon Stockstock to decline. Ineffective
internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in Holdco’s reported financial information, which could have a negative
effect on the trading price of its stock. Failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could
also subject Holdcothe Company to potential delisting
from Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which itsour stock is listed or to other regulatory
investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.
We can give no assurance that the measures that Holdco plans to take
in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial
results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or
circumvention of these controls. Holdco is required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to annually furnish a report
by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. This assessment needs to include
disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by Holdco’s management in its internal control over financial reporting. Holdco
is required to disclose changes made in its internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. To comply with the requirements of being
a public company, Holdco may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting
or internal audit staff. If Holdco is unable to hire the additional accounting and internal audit staff necessary to comply with these
requirements, Holdco may need to retain additional outside consultants. If Holdco is unable to conclude that its internal controls over
financial reporting are effective, investors may lose confidence in Holdco’s financial reporting, which could negatively impact
the price of Holdco’s securities.
We may face litigation and other risks
as a result of the restatement of RWT’s pre-merger audited consolidated financial statements and the material weakness in
RWT’s internal control over financial reporting.
RWT’s management and its board of directors concluded that it
was appropriate to restate RWT’s pre-merger previously issued and audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2023. As discussed in “Note 2” of RWT’s audited consolidated financial statements including in the
prospectus filed with the SEC on December 12, 2024, RWT identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting
regarding the calculation of deferred tax assets and disclosure of income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740.
AsWe a result of such material weakness, the restatement and other matters
raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, RWT incurred additional costs, including increased accounting and legal fees, and
RWT faces (and RWT and Holdco following the Business Combinationalso face) potential for litigation or other disputes
which may include, among
others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from
the restatement and material weaknesses in
RWT’s our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of RWT’s consolidatedour financial statements.
As of the
date of this Annual Report, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that
such litigation
or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material
adverse effect
on theour business of Holdco and its results of operations and financial condition.
RWT RET
can provide no assurance of the effectiveness and success
of ionization rainfall generationAEI technology in increasing precipitation.
Commercial applications of AEI technology are still at the early stages of development, and further development and testing will be required to determine its technical feasibility and commercial viability across different atmospheric conditions and geographies. While RET has conducted pilot deployments and has publicly reported preliminary observations and early indications from certain field installations, these observations are not conclusive and may not be predictive of future performance. The scientific community continues to evaluate the effectiveness of various weather modification approaches, and attributing changes in precipitation to any intervention is complex due to the variability of weather systems, measurement limitations, and the need for statistically rigorous study designs. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that AEI technologies, including RET’s platform, will produce statistically significant, repeatable, or commercially viable results.
Commercial applications of ionization rainfall generation technology
are still at the initial stages of development, and further development and extensive testing will be required to determine its technical
feasibility and commercial viability. The scientific community continues to debate whether rainfall generation technology has been able
to produce statistically significant results in augmenting rainfall or other types of precipitation, with some authors suggesting that
it remains a “pseudo-science”, whereas other authors have found statistically meaningful results. At this point in time, given
the complexities of attributing increased precipitation to weather modification technologies, scientists have neither conclusively proven
nor disproven that ionization rainfall generation technologies and/or other types of weather modification technologies augment and optimize
precipitation.
RWT’s RET’s
success will depend on its ability to prove and demonstrate,
to potential clients and the broader community, scientific and technological
advances and to translate such advances into commercially

In
light of the unprovendeveloping and evolving technology involved and the other factors
described elsewhere in this Annual Report, there can be
no assurance that RWTRET will be able to successfully complete the development, commercialization
or marketing of any new technology or
products which could materially harm its business, results of operations and prospects.

RainfallRain
and snowfall generation is a difficult undertaking.
There are significant engineering, technology, operational and climatological challenges
that RWTRET must overcome to deliver consistent
results with its platform. RWTRET isremains in thean developmentearly stage of commercial deployment and faces
significant challenges in thefurther developmentdeveloping ofand scaling its rainfallrain and snowfall generation

Some of the development challenges that could prevent the successful commercialization of RET’s technology include, but are not limited to, failure to: find scalable ways to secure real estate to set up and operate trials, secure commercial client engagements, hire key team members with relevant water expertise, address any and all permitting requirements, establish prototyping scalability and bespoke supply chains, find adequate construction partners, and grow, create and train a productive sales force. Additionally, RET may fail to achieve a high degree of repeat success in rain and snowfall generation, which could lead to a failure to ensure client retention or to generate sustainable commercial demand for its technology. RET may also fail to realize the potential of AEI technology or other weather modification applications that it seeks to develop.
RWT RET
has not demonstrated it can market and sell its rainfall
generationAEI technology and faces market barriers to entry that it may not be able to overcome.
RWT’s RET’s
rain enhancement ionization technology is not widely adopted
or accepted in the market. RWTRET may face difficulties overcoming skepticism
about its ability to create rain, or creating too much rain,
or taking rain away from areas where it could naturally fall. RWTRET may need
to educate the market to develop a broader understanding and
acceptance of the science underlying the technology, as well as convince
clients that the benefits justify the investment and costs of
implementing its technology. RWTRET faces further challenges to streamline
its go-to-market strategy, integrate its technology with other
products and services, build its brand and engender loyalty while improving
the core technology offering.
RWT RET
may not be able to manufacture its technology at the pace,
scale and volume needed to generate and meet market demand.
RET will need to develop the manufacturing process necessary to make AEI technology at scale. While RET has manufactured and deployed systems and currently maintains its inventory of certain components and systems, the Company must continue to refine and expand its manufacturing capabilities to support large scale deployments and future demands. In the future, RET may evaluate or explore additional manufacturing approaches, including expanding production capabilities or working with additional manufacturing partners, in order to mitigate potential supply constraints or manufacturing lead times. However, such arrangements may not be successfully implemented or may introduce additional operational, logistical or quality control risks.
If RET is not able to effectively manage these manufacturing hurdles in building its technology, RET’s ability to deploy systems and meet customer demand may be limited.
RWT will need to develop the manufacturing process necessary to make
rainfall generation technology in high volume. RWT has not yet devised or validated a manufacturing process or acquired the tools or processes
that may be necessary to produce rainfall generation technology that meets all commercial requirements. If RWT is not able to overcome
these manufacturing hurdles in building its technology, RWT’s business is likely to fail.
Even
if RWTRET completessuccessfully development and achieves volumeincreases production of
its platform,capacity, if the cost, performance characteristics or other specifications of the rainfall generationAEI technology
fall short of RWT’s
RET’s projections, RWT’sRET’s business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Additionally,
developing manufacturing techniques to produce the volume
volumes required to achieve forecasted production levels may require significant investment
and capital and could hindernegatively impact margins or profitability in the future. If RWT’sRET’s technology fails to achieve a broad advantage
advantage in generating rainfall, its business, financial condition and future prospects may be harmed.
The
markets for rainfallrain and snowfall generation-related products are in nascent
stages, and RWTRET may have limited opportunities to license our
technologies or sell its products.
The
rain rainfalland snowfall generation industry is in the early stage of commercializing
rainfall generationAEI technology. Skepticism around the efficacy of the
technology’s ability to enhance rainfall has hindered previous
adoption.
RWT’s RET’s
success will depend upon its ability to expand, scale its
operations, and increase its sales capability, which may take longer or be
more expensive than expected. Unforeseen issues associated
with scaling up and constructing RWT’sRET’s technology at commercially viable
levels could negatively impact RWT’sRET’s business, financial
condition and results of operations. RWT’sRET’s growth is dependent upon
its ability to successfully market and sell rainfallAEI generation
technology. RWTRET does not have experience with the mass distribution and sale of rainfall generationAEI technology.
Its growth and long-term
success will depend upon the development of its sales and delivery capabilities.
RWT RET
may be harmed by competing technologies.
The
markets in which RWTRET operates are rapidly evolving to address increasing
global need for reliable access to water, creating additional
investment in competition. There has been significant improvement in water
generation technologies such as desalination and chemical-based
cloudseeding. As these markets continue to mature and new technologies
and competitors enter such markets, RWTRET expects competition to
intensify. RWTRET could lose market share and its revenues could decline,
thereby affecting its earnings and potential for growth. In particular,
although RWTRET does not plan to use chemicals in its manufacturing
and production process, chemical-based cloudseeding companies may provide
additional competition due to the maturity of chemical-based
technology, more established historical operational data, stronger research
groups, demonstrated effects in specific use cases, market
acceptance and funding by recognized institutions.
In
the future, RWT’sRET’s technologies may also compete with other
emerging technologies. These technologies may be less expensive and
provide higher or additional performance. Companies with these competing
technologies may also have greater resources. Technological
change could render its technologies obsolete, and new, competitive technologies
could emerge that achieve broad adoption and adversely
affect the use of its technologies and intellectual property.
RWT will beRET
is dependent on its suppliers and manufacturers, and
supply chain issues could delay the introduction of RWT’sRET’s product and negatively
impact its business and operating results.
RWT RET
has not yet entered into relationships with potential suppliers
and manufacturers. However, when RWT enters into relationships with suppliers and manufacturers, itRET may face delays in the introduction of
of its product due to supply chain issues. The manufacture, installation, production and operation of the ionizationAEI rainfall generation
technology is expected to
be dependent upon third party suppliers, service providers and networks. When RWT begins contracting with suppliers
and manufacturers, it may be adversely affected if it is not able to obtain the required materials, supplies and critical spare parts
required to build the machinery and operate our technology.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We
were founded to provide the world with reliable
access to water, one of life’s most important resources. To achieve this mission,
we aim to develop, manufacture and commercialize
ionization rainfall generationAEI technology.
We
are combining unique expertise and personnel to develop, improve
and undertake efforts to commercialize ionization rainfall generationAEI technology that enhances rainfall and snowfall
when conditions are appropriate
in the atmosphere. We are building our coreproprietary WETA platform with software, meteorology, hardware,
product design and operations to make rainfall
rain and snowfall generation more dependable. We aim to improve onthe existing rainfallrain and snowfall
generation technologies by introducing robust measurement tools, including
automation technology, rain gauges, and weather stations,
to more precisely quantify the positive water benefit itgenerated expectsby toour deliver
to millions globally.systems.
We intend
aim to develop, invent, improve, manufacture, commercialize and
operate technologies that enhance rainfall and elevate water reserves.
We believe that our future services will yield potable water that
can be used for all purposes. The projected cost (not including land
costs, which are still being determined) and energy requirements
for our future technology are modest on a per gallon basis for communities
and ecosystems, estimated to be $0.10 per cubic meter, approximately
10 times less than other alternative technologies. We aim to enhance agricultural, industrial
and household water supplies for all the
communities in which we operate by developing technology and services to serve governmental
and commercial clients’ needs in creating
water resiliency and abundancy.abundance.
Our
business model is based on a unique one-to-many community-centric
business model. The numerous client segments to which we market includes include
large landowners including agriculture, resorts, energy and transportation
companies, insurance and reinsurance companies, decarbonization
initiatives of major corporations and philanthropists, supranational governmental
organizations, and city, county, state, federal and
non-U.S. governments. In addition, we aim to leverage our offerings and enhance our
potential market position by exploring ways to expand
our future water generation products through licensing and acting as a channel partner
for additional water generation technologies.
Since the beginning of 2025 we have continued advancing the commercialization of our technology, including manufacturing and deploying additional rain and snowfall generation systems and conducting field deployments with potential governmental and commercial clients. We have also expanded our network of industry experts and consultants supporting system development, project execution and commercial outreach, and continued research and development activities aimed at improving system performance and exploring potential adjacent atmospheric water applications.
Since the beginning of 2025 we have created new marketing and sales
programs, identified and contacted potential customers in core market segments, expanded our contacts with rain enhancement experts who
could endorse our technology and introduce us into existing projects looking to address lack of rainfall, and organized our production
of systems to serve expected demand.
We
have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any
revenue,history, and our ability to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend on our ability
to successfully build and
commercialize rainfall generationAEI technology and successfully execute our sales strategy.
Restatement
This Annual Report includes a restatement of our financial statements for the Affected Periods resulting from an error in the accounting for financed insurance premiums as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. In connection with the restatement, our management reassessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures for the Affected Periods. As a result of that reassessment, we determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, and that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. For more information, see “Item 9A—Controls and Procedures” in this Annual Report.
We have not amended our previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Affected Periods. The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for the Affected Periods is superseded by the information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in such previously filed reports should no longer be relied upon.

On March 24, 2026, the Audit Committee and the Board approved an increase in the amount that could be borrowed under the Loan Agreement from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. The Company and RHY entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement reflecting such increase, effective as of March 31, 2026.
On December 30, 2024, Holdco entered into the Loan Agreement with RHY,
an affiliate of Harry You, pursuant to which RHY committed to provide Holdco with up to $7 million in new loans. Prior to each drawdown,
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Holdco must certify to RHY, among other things, that it has used its best efforts to raise equity, equity-linked,
or debt financing on terms available in the market to a similarly-situated company in similar circumstances, and is unable to obtain alternate
financing in the amount of such drawdown. Once amounts are borrowed, they may not be re-borrowed. Additionally, Mr. You agreed to roll
over an aggregate of approximately $3.1 million of loans and advances owed to him or to his affiliates by Coliseum and RWT into the Loan
Agreement and such amounts will be treated for all purposes as loans outstanding pursuant to the Loan Agreement (which, for the avoidance
of doubt, does not decrease the $7 million commitment). As of the date of this Annual Report, Holdco has borrowed an additional $839,000
of new funds under the Loan Agreement.
Business Developments
In October 2025, we announced preliminary field observations from a fog-mitigation pilot conducted in Australia using our WETA platform. Initial observations suggested ionization may influence fog dissipation under certain atmospheric conditions. Based on these results, we plan to conduct expanded, instrumented pilot programs in 2026 in the USA (Oregon, California, Utah or Colorado) and Australia to further evaluate performance and use cases. These activities remain in the research and development stage and are not expected to generate material revenue until validation and commercialization.
Our first two US installed systems entered operation in November 2025. These installations represent the Company’s first operational deployments in the United States and are part of our efforts to evaluate system performance under real-world atmospheric conditions. The systems are located in the La Sal Range of Utah, where we are monitoring snowfall and Snow Water Equivalent (“SWE”) measurements. Preliminary observations during certain periods of system operation coincided with changes in local snowfall and SWE measurements. These observations are preliminary, and additional research and analysis are ongoing to evaluate potential precipitation and snowpack impacts under varying atmospheric conditions.
During 2025, we also expanded production of our WETA systems and manufactured ten additional units in Australia which were shipped to, and are stored in, the United States intended to support future pilot programs, field deployments and operational readiness. As of December 31, 2025, seven of these units had been completed and were being stored pending deployment. The remaining three units were completed and delivered to the United States in March 2026. Additionally, three systems are currently under construction. These systems are expected to support ongoing research activities, demonstration projects and potential future deployments as we continue to evaluate commercial applications of our technology. Management believes that maintaining an inventory of completed systems may allow the Company to respond more efficiently to pilot opportunities, research collaborations and potential commercial deployments as they arise.
In addition, we also continued internal development efforts related to potential enhancements to our WETA platform, including instrumentation, data collection and deployment configurations intended to support future pilot programs and operational flexibility. These initiatives remain in development and are being evaluated as part of our broader research and engineering activities. The timing and extent of any future implementation or commercialization of these capabilities remain uncertain.
Service Agreement with Utah Division of Water Resources
In January 2026, we entered into a service agreement with the Utah Division of Water Resources to support the installation of a generator to facilitate radiometer data ingestion associated with our rainfall monitoring infrastructure. The agreement provides for payment of $10,500 to us in connection with the installation. We completed the installation and fully received the payment in February 2026.
On December 22, 2025, the holders of Class B Common Stock appointed Mr. David Sylvester as a Class II director with a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders, and the Board increased the size of the Board from seven to eight directors and appointed Mr. Sylvester as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Following the appointment, Mr. Sylvester, Mr. Peperzak and Mr. Reardon serve on the Audit Committee.
In connection with this appointment, Mr. Sylvester entered into a director agreement that is consistent with our form of Director Agreement. which provides for annual cash compensation and potential equity awards subject to approval by the Board and Compensation Committee. As of the date of this Annual Report, no equity awards have been granted to our directors under these agreements.
On April 1, 2025, the Board increased the size

further notes that if we are unable to satisfy the MVPHS requirement prior to such date, we may be eligible to transfer the listing of
its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that we then satisfy the requirements for continued listing on that market). If
we do not regain compliance by the end of the MVPHS Compliance Period, Nasdaq staff will provide written notice to us that our securities
are subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal any such delisting determination to a hearings panel.
The MVLS Notice and MVPHS Notice are notifications
of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and have no immediate effect on the listing of our securities. Our Class A Common Stock and
Warrants continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols “RAIN” and “RAINW”, respectively.
We intend to actively monitor our MVLS and MVPHS between now and August
18, 2025, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiencies and regain compliance with the MVLS Rule and
MVPHS Rule. While we are exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that
we will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. See “Risk Factors - There can be no assurance
that Holdco will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of Nasdaq.”
Departure of Co-Chief Executive Officer
On January 29, 2025, Holdco, RWT and Christopher
Riley entered into a letter agreement whereby Mr. Riley resigned as Co-Chief Executive Officer of our company and RWT effective as of
January 30, 2025 (the “Termination Letter”). Pursuant to the Termination Letter, in lieu of all other compensation and payments
of any kind due and payable to Mr. Riley, Mr. Riley will be paid for services rendered in an amount of $124,500, payable in 18 monthly
installments beginning in February 2025. Additionally, conditioned on approval by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors,
the Termination Letter provides that Mr. Riley will be granted 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company vesting one year
from the date of grant.
Mr. Riley’s decision to resign as Chief
Executive Officer was not the result of any disagreement with our company or our board of directors, including any matters relating to
our operations, polices, accounting practices or financial reporting. Mr. Riley will remain as a member of our board of directors.
As previously announced, we appointed Randall
Seidl to serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer effective as of January 2, 2025. Following the resignation of Mr. Riley, Mr. Seidl is our
sole Chief Executive Officer.
RET currently has two rain and snowfall generation systems installed and placed in service in the United States. These units arrived in the US in September 2025, and began operating in November 2025 and are currently being used to support field observations, data collection and ongoing research activities related to our rainfall generation technology.
Initial observations from these installations have enabled us to evaluate system performance using available meteorological and radar data. Data collection and analysis remain ongoing as we continue to evaluate system performance and potential atmospheric effects associated with our technology.
During 2025, we expanded production of our WETA systems and manufactured ten additional units intended to support future pilot programs, field deployments and operational readiness. As of December 31, 2025, seven of these units had been completed and were being stored pending deployment. The remaining three units were completed and delivered to the United States in March 2026. Additionally, three systems are currently under construction. The timing and location of future installations will depend on factors such as site availability, permitting requirements, customer engagement and the results of ongoing testing and evaluation. We expect that some of these systems may be deployed during 2026 as part of pilot programs, demonstration projects or other research initiatives.
We continue to document sourcing, manufacturing and assembly processes associated with our systems as part of our ongoing development efforts. As part of these efforts, we may evaluate potential supply chain arrangements and manufacturing partners to support future production, although no such arrangements have been finalized.
Future deployments, if pursued, may involve installing one or more systems within a geographic area as part of pilot programs or demonstration projects. Site selection will consider factors such as weather patterns, terrain, permitting requirements, accessibility and other operational considerations.
We also continue research and development activities related to instrumentation and measurement tools designed to support monitoring and evaluation of system performance during field deployments. These efforts are intended to assist with the collection and analysis of atmospheric and precipitation data associated with our systems.
In addition, we may pursue research collaborations with academic institutions or other research organizations to further study atmospheric effects and evaluate the potential impact of our technology in locations where systems are deployed.
While our systems are currently being deployed primarily for research, pilot and demonstration purposes, the operational experience gained from these deployments is intended to support the continued development of our technology and inform potential future commercial applications.

We may not have sufficient liquidity to meet our
anticipated obligations over the next year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection
with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial
Statements – Going Concern,” management has determined that we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations
over the next year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Management’s plans
to address this uncertainty include reducing expendituresexpenditures, utilizing the Company’s at-the-market offering program, and seeking additional
financing through debt, equity, or a combination of both. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable
terms, or at all. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We are currently in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by recent escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, changing trade policies, ongoing military conflicts, geopolitical instability, and rising inflation and interest rates.
U.S. and global markets have recently been experiencing volatility and disruption caused by the recent escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, including the U.S.-Israel and Iran war (“Iran War”), the sustained Russia-Ukraine war and related economic sanctions, economic uncertainty as a result of changing trade policies, disruptions in global oil and gas markets and inflation and higher interest rates. The impact of the Iran War on the flow of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and trade disputes could adversely impact supply chains which could now or in the future increase costs for us or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies, as well as impact the ability of customers in our target markets to invest in new technologies and rain enhancement projects. Military conflicts and trade disputes can also be highly disruptive to global financial markets and emerging markets. The length and impact of the ongoing Iran War, military conflicts, and trade disputes are highly unpredictable. We are continuing to monitor these events and the impacts to global capital markets and to our business.
RET’s future success depends in part on recruiting and retaining key personnel and failure to do so may make it more difficult for us to execute the business strategy.
RET is dependent upon the continued services of key personnel, including members of its executive management team. The loss of any one of these individuals could disrupt our operations or its strategic plans. Additionally, RET’s future success will depend on, among other things, its ability to hire and retain the necessary qualified sales, marketing and managerial personnel, for whom it competes with numerous other companies, academic institutions and organizations. Restraints on the flow of technical and professional talent, including as a result of changes to U.S. immigration policies or laws, may inhibit our ability to adequately staff our engineering, research and development efforts. If RET loses key employees, if it is unable to retain other qualified personnel, or if its management team is not able to effectively manage it through these events, RET’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We were founded to provide the world with reliable access to water, one of life’s most important resources. To achieve this mission, we aim to develop, manufacture and commercialize atmospheric enhancement by ionization (AEI) technology.
We are combining unique expertise and personnel
to develop, improve and commercialize AEI technology that enhances rainfall and snowfall when conditions are appropriate in the atmosphere.
We are building our proprietary Weather Enhancement Technology Array (“WETA”) platform with software, meteorology, hardware,
product design and operations to make rain and snowfall generationenhancement more dependable. We aim to improve the existing rain and snowfall generation
enhancement technologies by introducing robust measurement tools, including automation technology, rain gauges, and weather stations,
to more precisely quantify the positive water benefit generated by our systems.
Since the beginning of 2025 we have continued
advancing the commercialization of our technology, including manufacturing and deploying additional rain and snowfall generationenhancement systems
and conducting field deployments with potential governmental and commercial clients. We have also expanded our network of industry experts
and consultants supporting system development, project execution and commercial outreach, and continued research and development activities
aimed at improving system performance and exploring potential adjacent atmospheric water applications.
On December 31, 2024 (the “Closing Date”),
our the Company,company, RET, Coliseum Acquisition Corp., and the merger subsidiaries consummated the business combination pursuant to the Business
Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”). Following the closing, the Companywe became the publicly traded parent company and
holds all of the equity interests of RET.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Coliseum was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of RET issuing stock for the net assets of Coliseum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Coliseum were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
In connection with the Closing, the Companywe entered into
subscription agreements (collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors and related parties (the
“PIPE Investors”) to sell an aggregate of 118,557 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of approximately $11.39
per share, for gross proceeds of $1.35 million. At the Closing, the Companywe received $700,000 of the PIPE investment and issued an aggregate of
61,474 shares of Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors and recorded a subscription receivable of $650,000 for the remaining PIPE
investment on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.
On December 30, 2024, the Companywe entered into a forward
purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Meteora Capital Partners, LP and affiliated funds (“Meteora”)
for an OTC equity prepaid forward transaction. An aggregate of 361,858 shares of Class A common stock (the “Forward Purchase Shares”)
are subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement, for which Meteora was paid approximately $4.1 million at Closing (the “Prepayment”)
and we retained approximately $20,000$21,000 (the “Prepayment Shortfall”). The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on the date of
the effectiveness of a certain registration statement filed by the Companyus with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the Closing Date
(the “Maturity Date”). Meteora may sell the Forward Purchase shares at any time following the Closing Date until the Maturity
Date at a price not less than $10.00 per share. If Meteora sells any of the Forward Purchase Shares, Meteora will pay to the Companyus $10.00 for
each share sold, less the Prepayment Shortfall. On Maturity Date, any Forward Purchase Shares that have not been sold by Meteora will
be returned to us for no consideration, provided that if the proceeds of the shares sold by Meteora prior to the Maturity Date is less
than the Prepayment Shortfall, then we will pay cash to Meteora in an amount equal to such difference. The forward purchase agreement
remains subject to its contractual terms, including settlement provisions tied to the effectiveness of a registration statement.
On December 30, 2024, the Companywe entered into the Loan

We continued to monitor ourOur first two US installed systems entered operation
in November 2025. These installations represent our first operational deployments in the United States and are part of our efforts to
evaluate system performance under real-world atmospheric conditions. The systems are located in the La Sal Range of Utah, where we are
monitoring snowfall and Snow Water Equivalent (“SWE”) measurements. Preliminary observations during certain periods of system
operation coincided with changes in local snowfall and SWE measurements. These observations are preliminary, and additional research and
analysis are ongoing to evaluate potential precipitation and snowpack impacts under varying atmospheric conditions.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had 10 additional units were
completed and deliveredavailable tofor theservice United States.placement. These systems are expected to support ongoing research activities, demonstration projects
and potential future deployments as we continue to evaluate commercial applications of our technology. Management believes that maintaining
an inventory of completed systems may allow us to respond more efficiently to pilot opportunities, research collaborations and potential
commercial deployments as they arise.
Government Projects and Commercial Developments
Service Agreement with Utah Division of Water Resources
In January 2026, we entered into a service agreement
with the Utah Division of Water Resources to support the installation of a generator to facilitate radiometer data ingestion associated
with our rainfall monitoring infrastructure. The agreement providesprovided for payment of $10,500 to us in connection with the installation.
We completed the installation, received payment for the services in February 2026, and recognized revenue of $10,500 upon completion of
the installation, which represents the satisfaction of our performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606. This activity is not part
of our primary operations related to itsour AEI technology and is considered incidental in nature. We have not generated revenue from its our
core business activities to date.
In July 2026, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the Colorado River District, and the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District publicly supported our pending application for a weather enhancement pilot project in Colorado. If approved, the project would represent our first commercial deployment of our AEI technology and is expected to be funded through a grant administered by the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
On August 5, 2026, we entered into an exclusive representation and equipment lease agreement with Ulusal Atmosferik Sistemler Ve Iklim Teknolojileri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (“UASIT”), a Turkey-based company focused on water resource management, climate adaptation and mitigation, sustainable agriculture and forestry management. Under the agreement, UASIT became RET's exclusive representative for the deployment of our WETA platform in the Republic of Turkey. The agreement also provides for the lease of two WETA units for an initial term of 60 months subject to certain performance metrics, and includes renewal and purchase option provisions, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The agreement is contingent upon the Company receiving an order for the leased units on or before December 31, 2026.
The initial focus of the partnership will be the Eğirdir Lake Basin in Isparta Province, where RET and UASIT intend to evaluate the WETA platform's potential to support natural precipitation and improve water security for drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation, and lake and reservoir management. RET and UASIT also intend to evaluate potential pilot opportunities in other water-stressed regions of Turkey, including the İzmir region, Central Anatolia, the Mediterranean region, and Southeastern Anatolia, subject to appropriate conditions and institutional approvals.
We believe this agreement represents an additional step in the commercialization of our WETA technology; however, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the agreement will be satisfied or that the anticipated commercial activities will occur.
At-the-Market Offering Program
On June 30, 2026, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Needham & Company, LLC (“Needham”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $3.5 million through Needham. Any sales of shares under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including the related prospectus supplement.
Needham will be entitled to compensation of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of any shares sold under the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse certain expenses of Needham and to provide customary indemnification, representations, warranties and covenants under the terms of the Sales Agreement.
We intend to use the net proceeds from sales of common stock, if any, under the Sales Agreement primarily for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Sales of shares under the Sales Agreement, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings,” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ATM program”). We are not obligated to sell any shares under the Sales Agreement and may suspend or terminate the offering at any time in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, no shares of our Class A common stock were issued or sold under the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million remained available for sale under the ATM program.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 1,362,315 shares of our Class A common stock under the ATM program for gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 million and incurred approximately $309,000 in allocated offering costs.
New RSAs Issuance
On June 5, 2026, we issued an aggregate of 540,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as follows: (i) 80,000 shares were issued to each of Lyman Dickerson, Alexandra Warsh (professionally known as Alexandra Steele), Robert Reardon, and Marcus Peperzak, 50,000 shares were issued to Christopher Riley, and 40,000 shares were issued to David Sylvester, each directors of our company, as payment of director compensation pursuant to their director agreements (see Note 7), (ii) 50,000 shares of to its Interim Chief Financial Officer, (iii) 50,000 shares were issued to Mr. Morris, and (iv) 30,000 shares were granted to Christopher Monroe, an independent contractor. All of these shares were fully vested upon issuance.
RET currently has two rain and snowfall generation enhancement
systems installed and placed in service in the United States in November 20252025, andwhich are currently being used to support field observations,
data collection and ongoing research activities related to our rainfall generation technology.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, tenwe had 10 additional units was
completed and deliveredavailable tofor theservice United States.placement. These units are intended to support future pilot programs, field deployments and operational readiness.
The timing and location of future installations will depend on factors such as site availability, permitting requirements, customer engagement
and the results of ongoing testing and evaluation. We expect that some of these systems may be deployed during 2026 as part of pilot programs,
demonstration projects or other research initiatives.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had approximately $581,000$33,000 in
cash and had a working capital deficit of approximately $14.8$13.1 million. We expect to continue incurring expenses as we scale our operations
and begin to generate revenue. We have historically funded our operations primarily through related-party financing arrangements, including
borrowings under our loan agreement with Mr. You. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had approximately $1.3$1.5 million in remaining amount available
under this facility. While we expect to continue relying on related party financing sources, additional capital raises and projected cash
flows from operations, our limited operating history and continuing operating losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
Management’s plans to address this uncertainty include continued support from related parties, utilizing the Company’s at-the-market offering program, seeking additional financing through debt, equity, or a combination of both, and pursuing commercial opportunities for installation and service agreements. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Accordingly, our management has determined that
we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In November 2025, we incurred installation and
field deployment costs associated with the initial deployment and pilot operation of our rain and snowfall generationenhancement systems in the
United States. These activities were undertaken as part of system validation and research programs and were not associated with revenue-generating
customer contracts.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
a net loss of approximately $1.9$3.2 million, which consisted of field operations costs of approximately $93,000,$105,000, general and administrative

We entered into a consulting agreement to engage our senior technology
advisor advisor,who provides strategic technology leadership and advisory services to us, Scott MorrisMorris, in 2022, pursuant to which we agreed to
pay him a one-time fee upon execution of the agreement and a consulting fee of AUD 250,000 per year (equivalent to approximately
$170,000 as of the effective date). In February 2025, the agreement was amended to increase the annual consulting fee to $186,000,
and in July and effective as of June 1, 2025, itthe annual consulting fee was further increased to $252,000 annually in exchange for the consultant
assuming an additional role and responsibilities. The agreement also providesprovided for success fees payable upon the achievement of specified
sales and development milestones. On March 19, 2026, the agreement was amended to add three additional milestones, each of which would
entitle him to a $25,000 cash bonus. In November 2025, we paid an aggregate of $50,000 in milestone payments to Mr. Morris in connection
with the achievement of certain development milestones.
Effective January 2, 2025, we entered into a binding
offer letter (as amended, the “Offer Letter”), which was later amended on June 27, 2025, with our new CEO, Mr. Seidl. Pursuant
to the amended Offer Letter, we agreed to pay to the CEO (i) an annual salary of $500,000, (ii) an annual incentive bonus up to 200% of
his base salary, subject to Board or Compensation Committee approval, which will be subject to the achievement of Company and/or individual
performance goals mutually agreed by the CEO and the Board or the Compensation Committee, and (iii) a cash bonus of $5.82 million (the
“Retention Bonus”) payable on the earlier of (x) December 31, 2028, (y) the date on which we terminate the CEO’s employment
without cause, or (z) the date on which a change of control is consummated. We accrue the Retention Bonus over the period of service.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we accrued approximately $1.3$1.7 million and $831,000 of Retention Bonus, respectively. In
addition, we also accrued $1 million of annual incentive bonus for 2025 in accrued expenses to related party in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. We paid the $1 million annual incentive bonus for 2025 to Mr. Seidl in March
2026, pursuant to the Board’s determination and approval.
In January 2025, we entered into a termination
letter agreement with our former CEO, Mr. Christopher Riley, pursuant to which, in lieu of all other compensation and payments, we agreed
to pay Mr. Riley an aggregate of $124,500, payable in 18 monthly installments beginning in February 2025 in consideration for his past
services. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate of approximately $28,000$7,000 and $48,000 remaining outstanding
in connection with such agreement that was included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Additionally, conditioned on approval by the Compensation Committee, the Termination Letter provides that Mr. Riley will be granted 10,000 shares of Class A common stock vesting one year from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2026, the stock has not been granted.
The Termination Letter also provides that, subject to approval by our Compensation Committee of the Board, Mr. Riley will be granted 10,000 shares of our Class A common stock that vest one year from the date of grant. Mr. Riley continues to serve as a member of the Board and is eligible to receive equity awards under our non-employee director compensation program as discussed below. On June 5, 2026, we granted Mr. Riley an equity award of 50,000 shares of Class A common stock.
Related Party Transactions
Note Payable and Line of Credit from Related Parties
On February 2, 2023, RET issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to its former CEO, Mr. You, and Mr. de Masi for an aggregate amount of $600,000. The Note has an annual interest rate of 5%. The Note amount owed to RET’s former CEO and Mr. de Masi totaling $400,000 remains as outstanding due on demand, and the $200,000 Note amount owed to Mr. You was included in the Rollover amount described below.
On December 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with RHY, an affiliate of Harry You, pursuant to which RHY agreed to issue a line of credit (the “LOC”) to the Company for up to $7 million, which was later amended on March 31,2026 to increase to the available funding to $10 million, in addition to the Rollover amount described below (such amounts borrowed under the LOC, together with the Rollover, the “Loan”). The Loan bears interest at the greater of 5% per annum or the applicable IRS short-term rate in the month of each drawdown (“Interest Rate”), payable quarterly in arrears. If a quarterly payment is missed, the loan balance increases by an amount equal to the principal multiplied by the 2% Default Rate (as defined below). If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, then upon written notice by RHY to the Company, the outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest will accrue interest at 2% above the Interest Rate (the “Default Rate”).
Prior to closing of the Business Combination, the outstanding amount that Coliseum and RET owed to Mr. You and his affiliates was approximately $3.1 million.
