UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Introduction 

 

On January 2, 2026, VerifyMe entered into the Binding LOI with OpenWorld regarding a proposed merger transaction. On February 11, 2026, we entered into the merger agreement with Merger Sub and OpenWorld, which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into OpenWorld, with OpenWorld continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of VerifyMe, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. At the effective time of the merger, (i) each OpenWorld Shareholder outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, excluding holders of excluded shares and dissenting shares, each as defined in the merger agreement, will be entitled to receive the number of shares of VerifyMe common stock equal to (x) the number of shares of OpenWorld ordinary shares they hold multiplied by the exchange ratio, as calculated in accordance with the merger agreement; (ii) each holder of OpenWorld SAFEs will be granted the right to receive a number of shares of VerifyMe common stock equal to (x) the Conversion Share Number applicable to such OpenWorld SAFE multiplied by (y) the exchange ratio, without any interest; and (iii) each outstanding OpenWorld Option, whether vested or unvested, shall automatically be converted into an Assumed Option to purchase a share of VerifyMe common stock with the shares underlying each Assumed Option and exercise price being adjusted pursuant to the exchange ratio.

 

It is anticipated that, upon the effective time of the merger, based on the number of shares of VerifyMe common stock outstanding as of September 18, 2026 (the latest practicable date), current VerifyMe stockholders will hold approximately 10%, OpenWorld Securityholders will hold approximately 87.75% of the combined company, and Maxim will hold approximately 2.25% of the combined company (to the extent the Remaining Fee is paid in shares of common stock of the combined company and assuming a $200 million enterprise value for the combined company).

 

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Merger

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data assumes that the merger took place on June 30, 2026 and combines the historical balance sheets of VerifyMe and OpenWorld as of such date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and year ended December 31, 2025 assumes that the merger took place as of January 1, 2025 and combines the historical results of VerifyMe and OpenWorld for the six months and year then ended. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The historical financial statements of VerifyMe and OpenWorld have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is being provided to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the business combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of VerifyMe and OpenWorld has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information. No management adjustments by VerifyMe’s management have been included by VerifyMe and, therefore, only transaction accounting adjustments are included in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, which presents the combination of the historical financial information of VerifyMe and OpenWorld, adjusted to give effect to the merger and certain other related events contemplated by the merger. 

 

  
 

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, have been prepared using and combining, and should be read in conjunction with, the following, in the case of the balance sheet, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated as of June 30, 2026, and in the case of the statement of operations and comprehensive loss, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2025:

  

  ● VerifyMe’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, included in VerifyMe’s Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on August 14, 2026; 

 

  ● OpenWorld’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, derived from the historical information of OpenWorld included as an exhibit to VerifyMe’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2026, to which these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financials statements are also attached; 

  

  ● VerifyMe’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in VerifyMe’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026; and

 

  ● OpenWorld’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in VerifyMe’s proxy statement/prospectus and registration statement on Form S-4/A as filed with the SEC on August 11, 2026 and declared effective on August 12, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed as of the date indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent the estimates of VerifyMe’s and OpenWorld’s management, as applicable, based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. 

 

Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Management of VerifyMe and OpenWorld have made significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read together with VerifyMe’s and OpenWorld’s historical financial statements and related notes thereto, as applicable, and the sections titled “VerifyMe Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “OpenWorld Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included in VerifyMe’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 and August 14, 2026, respectively, and OpenWorld’s historical financial statements included as an exhibit to VerifyMe’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2026, to which these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financials statements are also attached and the Registration Statement.

 

The merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, VerifyMe will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the merger will be treated as the equivalent of OpenWorld issuing shares at the closing of the merger for the net assets of VerifyMe as of the closing, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of VerifyMe will be stated at historical cost, with goodwill recorded, as VerifyMe continues as a business. 

 

OpenWorld has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following: 

 

●OpenWorld’s stockholders will own a substantial majority of the voting rights of the combined company; 

 

●OpenWorld will designate a majority (six of seven) of the members of the board of directors of the combined company; and

 

●OpenWorld’s senior management will hold the majority of key positions in senior management of the combined company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

  

Note 1: Basis of presentation 

 

The historical financial information and statements of operations and comprehensive loss for both VerifyMe and OpenWorld as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, was prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The two companies will combine through a reverse merger transaction. As a result, the merger adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, reflect the impact of the merger transaction, and align VerifyMe’s historical financial statement balances with the presentation of OpenWorld’s historical consolidated financial statements. In preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of VerifyMe and OpenWorld to conform presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders' equity, or net loss, but were made to align financial statement line items and disclosures for consistency.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations and comprehensive loss assume the merger has occurred as of June 30, 2026 and January 1, 2025, respectively, and any transactions which are triggered by the merger (Note 4) are also included in the presentation. In addition, certain components of OpenWorld’s results, including changes in the fair value of digital assets, receivables, investments, and derivative instruments, are non-cash in nature and may introduce significant volatility to reported earnings. VerifyMe’s management believes that separating operating results from these non-cash fair value changes provides additional context for understanding the Company’s performance on a pro forma basis.

 

Note 2: Accounting Policies 

 

Accounting rules require evaluation of certain assumptions, estimates, or determination of financial statement classifications. The accounting policies of VerifyMe may materially vary from those of OpenWorld. During preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, VerifyMe’s management has performed a preliminary analysis and is not aware of any material differences, and accordingly, this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes no material differences in accounting policies. Following the closing, a more detailed review and comparison of the two companies’ accounting policies will be performed. As a result, additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies may be identified that, when conformed, could have had a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Note 3: Preliminary Purchase Consideration Allocation

 

Because OpenWorld is treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes, OpenWorld’s assets and liabilities are recorded at their carrying amounts prior to the closing and the historical operations that are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those of OpenWorld. VerifyMe’s assets and liabilities are measured and recognized at their fair values as of the date of the closing and combined with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of OpenWorld following the closing. The purchase consideration has been determined using the share price of VerifyMe common stock on September 18, 2026 of $7.95 and the number of shares of combined company common stock that would be issued to VerifyMe stockholders to achieve the same ownership ratio of the combined company. If the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2026, the estimated preliminary fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities (and related tax impacts) of the combined company and the purchase consideration would be as follows (in thousands):

 

Assets acquired:    
Cash and cash equivalents  $5,092 
Accounts receivable, net   558 
Prepaids and other current assets   499 
Property and equipment, net   13 
Intangible assets, net   2,304 
Total assets   8,466 
      
Total liabilities assumed:  $(1,423)
Net assets acquired  $7,043 
Estimated purchase consideration  $12,742 
Goodwill  $5,699 

 

  
 

 

The consideration for the merger is summarized below, assuming the merger occurred on January 1, 2025, and assuming no shares were issued to Maxim as compensation for the Remaining Fee:

 

Shares of combined company common stock issued to OpenWorld stockholders in connection with the merger at an exchange ratio resulting in OpenWorld Securityholders collectively owning approximately 90.0% of the combined company common stock, on a fully diluted basis   14,424,489 
Shares of combined company common stock held by VerifyMe stockholders, upon the effectiveness of the merger, collectively representing approximately 10.0% of the combined company common stock, on a fully diluted basis   1,602,721 
Total shares of combined company common stock   16,027,210 
VerifyMe stock price on September 18, 2026  $7.95 
Total combined company market cap  $127,416,320 
Purchase consideration to VerifyMe stockholders (10% of combined company market cap)  $12,741,632 

 

The purchase consideration, for the purposes of presenting the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, will depend on the market price of VerifyMe common stock on the date of closing. The following table illustrates the effects of change in the price of VerifyMe common stock and the resulting impact on the purchase consideration:

40% increase   $11.13   $17,838 
40% decrease   $4.77   $7,645 

 

Note 4. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

Adjustments included in the column under the heading “Accounting Adjustments” are primarily based on information contained within the merger agreement. Further analysis will be performed after the completion of the merger to confirm these estimates or make adjustments in the final purchase price allocation, as necessary.

 

Given VerifyMe’s history of net losses and valuation allowance, management assumed a statutory tax rate of 0%. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss resulted in no additional income tax adjustment to the pro forma financials. Certain components of OpenWorld’s results, including changes in the fair value of digital assets, receivables, investments, and derivative instruments, are non-cash in nature and may introduce significant volatility to reported earnings.

 

The unaudited pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are as follows:

 

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026:

 

A.To eliminate VerifyMe’s pre-merger equity balances including preferred and common stock, treasury stock, additional paid-in capital, and accumulated deficit.

 

  
 

 

B.To record a preliminary estimate of goodwill arising from the excess of the estimated purchase consideration over the fair value of VerifyMe assets acquired and liabilities assumed by OpenWorld.

 

C.To record VerifyMe non-recurring share based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting upon change of control. This pro forma adjustment is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss because these amounts are not expected to have a continuing effect on the operating results of the combined company.

 

D.To record the adjustments for (i) VerifyMe’s weighted-average common stock outstanding, (ii) the conversion of VerifyMe convertible preferred stock to common stock, and (iii) the conversion of OpenWorld shares, options and warrants for the purchase of OpenWorld stock to VerifyMe common stock.

Note 5: Pro Forma Earnings (Loss) per Share 

 

The following table sets forth the combined company’s pro forma basic and diluted loss per share for the period presented. The pro forma net loss reflects the impact of the business combination between OpenWorld and VerifyMe, as required under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding give effect to the assumed issuance of VerifyMe common stock, conversion of OpenWorld equity interests, and other equity-class adjustments as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. Because the combined company reported a net loss for the period presented, all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

Note 6: Digital Assets and Non-Cash Impact

 

OpenWorld accounts for its crypto assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350-60, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which requires measurement at fair value with changes recognized in net income.
