AI ERA CORP (AERA) swings to $2.6M profit but flags going-concern risk
AI ERA CORP. reported sharply improved results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026. Total revenue rose to $5.67 million for six months, up from $1.68 million a year earlier, driven mainly by licensing and AI‑related services. Net income reached $2.60 million versus $0.16 million in the prior‑year period, with basic EPS of $0.69 and diluted EPS of $0.65. The company expanded its library of short‑form drama and related IP, increasing intangible assets to $7.11 million. Despite these profits, management discloses an accumulated deficit of about $7.8 million, a working capital deficit of about $1.6 million, and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, relying on equity lines, convertible notes and insider support for liquidity.
Positive
- Sharp revenue and earnings improvement: Six-month revenue increased to $5.67 million from $1.68 million, with net income rising to $2.60 million from $0.16 million, and diluted EPS improving to $0.65 from $0.13.
- Strengthened balance sheet and equity: Total assets grew to $9.05 million from $6.66 million, liabilities declined to $2.83 million from $3.60 million, and stockholders’ equity roughly doubled to $6.22 million from $3.07 million.
Negative
- Going-concern uncertainty: As of February 28, 2026, the company reports an accumulated deficit of about $7.8 million, a working capital deficit of about $1.6 million, and explicitly states substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
- Potentially heavy dilution from financing: Around $895,250 of 10% convertible notes with variable conversion pricing and a $30 million equity purchase agreement dated February 21, 2026 may lead to significant future share issuance.
- High customer and supplier concentration: For the six months ended February 28, 2026, 29%, 27% and 20% of revenue came from three customers, and 93% of purchases came from one supplier, increasing dependency risk.
Insights
Strong revenue and profit growth offset by going-concern risk and dilution overhang.
AI ERA CORP. posted a major turnaround, with six-month revenue increasing to $5.67 million from $1.68 million and net income rising to $2.60 million. High-margin licensing, AI training content, and uFilm SaaS drove the shift from prior copyright sales to recurring and service-based revenue streams.
Total assets grew to $9.05 million, mainly from short-form drama and uFilm IP, while liabilities fell to $2.83 million, lifting equity to $6.22 million. However, the business remains highly concentrated, with three customers providing a majority of revenue and one supplier accounting for 93% of purchases.
Despite current profitability, management cites an accumulated deficit of about $7.8 million, a working capital deficit of roughly $1.6 million, and “substantial doubt” about continued operation. Funding plans rely on a $30 million equity purchase agreement dated February 21, 2026, recent variable-price convertible notes totaling about $895,250, and ongoing support from the CEO, all of which may be materially dilutive depending on future stock prices and usage.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AI Era Corp. (Formerly known as AB International Group Corp.) (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2025 derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, App Board Limited, AB Cinemas NY, Inc and AI+ Hubs Corp. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is
presented at invoiced amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses. The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there
is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company
considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current
economic trends. Accounts are written off after efforts at collection prove unsuccessful.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Transactions
The financial risk arises from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility in these rates. Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.
Purchase Deposits
Purchase deposits primarily consist of payments made to acquire the copyrights and distribution rights of movies, Television series, short-form drama series and intellectual property of ufilm, etc. Purchase deposits are classified as either current or non-current based on the nature and the terms of the respective agreements. These purchase deposits are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The allowance is also based on management’s best estimate of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections and utilizations. Actual amounts received or utilized may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Purchase deposits are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. No allowance was recorded for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025.
Property and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Leasehold improvement is related to the enhancements paid by the Company to leased offices. Leasehold improvement represents capital expenditures for direct costs of renovation or acquisition and design fees incurred. The amortization of leasehold improvements commences once the renovation is completed and ready for the Company’s intended use.
The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
| Estimated Useful Life | ||
| Furniture | ||
| Appliances | ||
| Leasehold improvement | Lesser of useful life and lease term |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in other income or expenses.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and amortized as follows:
| • | Movie
copyrights and broadcast rights: | |
| • | NFT MMM platform:
| |
| • | Intellectual
property of ufilm: |
Amortized costs of the intangible asset are recorded as amortization expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Lease property under operating lease
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) since June 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method permitted under ASU No. 2018-11. This transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases only at the date of adoption and does not require previously reported balances to be adjusted. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated net earnings and cash flows.
Impairment of Long-lived asset
The Company
evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives, for impairment. Intangible
assets with indefinite lives that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired in accordance with ASC 350. Such impairment test compares the
fair values of assets with their carrying values with an impairment loss recognized when the carrying values exceed fair values. For
long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use
of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events
occur, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected
to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than
the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset
group over its fair value. Impairment losses are included in the general and administrative expense. There was
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the following sources:
Revenue from selling copyrights of movies or television series:
Revenue from the sale of copyrights for movies or television series is recognized at a point in time when control of the intellectual property transfers to the customer. Control is considered transferred upon delivery of the master copy and completion of all requisite authorization procedures, as this is the point at which the customer has the legal right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the copyright. Contracts are generally fixed-price arrangements without cancellation or refund provisions.
Revenue from licensing NFT MMM platform:
Revenue from NFT MMM platform licensing is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the contractual license term, typically one or two years. The Company determined that the license provides customers the access to the platform and its data through both mobile and web interfaces for the license period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The arrangements are non-cancelable and non-refundable with fixed consideration.
Revenue from movie theater admissions and food and beverage sales:
Revenue from movie theater admissions is recognized at a point in time when the movie is exhibited to customers, as this is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Food and beverage revenue is recognized at a point in time when customers take possession of the items. Revenue from gift cards and exchange ticket sales is deferred until redemption occurs or upon estimation of breakage income for gift cards with a remote likelihood of redemption.
Revenue from embedded marketing service:
The Company earns revenue from embedded marketing services by incorporating advertisements into movies, television series or short-form drama series. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the advertisement has been integrated into the media content and customer approval, as the customer can then direct the use of and obtain substantially all future economic benefits from the customized media content.
Revenue from consulting services:
The Company derives revenue from providing consulting services related to software development, corporate restructuring and strategic advisory. The Company also provides AI-based solutions and project oversight services that enhance content market accuracy, personalization, and advertising monetization for short drama platforms. Revenue from consulting services is recognized over time as the related services are performed, consistent with the continuous transfer of benefits to the customer.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Revenue from advertising services in theaters
The Company generates advertising revenue from displaying commercials on theater screens prior to movie exhibitions. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the advertisement is exhibited on screen to the audience.
Revenue from broadcast and download licensing
The Company grants non-exclusive, time-based licenses that allow customers to broadcast or provide download service of its films and television series, primarily short-form drama series, on their web or cloud-based platforms. License fees are charged per movie or per drama series based on the authorized period, typically on a monthly basis, and are not linked to user activity or download volume. The customer obtains a right to access the content during the license term. The Company satisfies its performance obligation by making the licensed content available to the customer and maintaining that accessibility throughout the license term. Accordingly, revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis throughout the license period.
Revenue from license of short-form drama for AI training pilot
The Company generates revenue from licensing its short-form drama content library for artificial intelligence training purposes. Under these arrangements, the Company grants customers a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use its content for machine learning, testing, and model optimization. Revenue related to the initial license is generally recognized over time as the services are provided. To the extent contracts include ongoing content updates or support services, such components are accounted for as separate performance obligations and recognized over time as the services are provided. Fees for optional data processing or technical support services are recognized as the services are performed.
Revenue from licensing uFilm platform
The Company generates revenue from providing access to its AI-powered SaaS uFilm platform, installation services, and data licensing. The Company’s arrangements include access to AI models, user interfaces, APIs, and ongoing maintenance and support. These services are combined into a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits.
The Company also provides installation services at contract inception, which are distinct from the SaaS services. Revenue from installation services is recognized at a point in time when the installation is completed and control is transferred to the customer.
In addition to subscription fees, the Company is entitled to fixed guaranteed payments that are contractually agreed upon and not contingent on customer usage or revenue. These amounts are recognized over time as part of the performance obligation.
The Company provides licensed data for AI training purposes, which is a separate performance obligation. Revenue from data usage is recognized over time as the services are provided.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Payment terms are established on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit quality. Contract assets are recognized for in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing of when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs.
As of February 28, 2026
and August 31, 2025, the Company had contract liabilities of $
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by revenue streams, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 – Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Warrant liability and derivative liability were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025, respectively.
| February 28, 2026 | August 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Level 3 | Level 3 | |||||||
| Warrants Liability | $ | 1,385,181 | $ | 1,338,389 | ||||
| Derivative liability | 696,200 | — | ||||||
| Total | $ | 2,081,381 | $ | 1,338,389 | ||||
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, and evaluates embedded features in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Embedded features are assessed to determine whether they are clearly and closely related to the host contract and whether they are indexed to the Company’s own stock in accordance with ASC 815-40. Features that do not meet the scope exception for equity classification are bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative liabilities.
Derivative liabilities are initially recognized at fair value on the issuance date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies derivative liabilities as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 because their valuation involves significant unobservable inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
At issuance, the Company allocates the proceeds received between the host debt and the embedded derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815-15-30-2. The initial carrying amount of the host debt is determined as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the embedded derivative. If the fair value of the embedded derivative exceeds the proceeds received, the excess is recognized as a loss on issuance in the consolidated statements of operations.
Debt issuance costs and original issue discounts are accounted for in accordance with ASC 835-30. To the extent a host debt component is recognized, such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt and amortized to interest expense over the term of the instrument using the effective interest method. If no amount is allocated to the host debt, debt issuance costs are recognized in earnings as incurred. Interest expense on convertible promissory notes includes both contractual coupon interest and the amortization of any debt discount recognized at issuance.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. No warrants were included in the diluted income per share as they would be anti-dilutive. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, preferred stocks were included in the diluted earnings per share as they would be dilutive. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2025, preferred stocks were included in the diluted earnings per share as they would be dilutive.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts of revenue in consolidated statements of operations and purchase of intangible assets in consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants are evaluated at issuance to determine whether they meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Warrants that do not meet the equity classification criteria are classified as warrant liabilities. Equity-classified warrants are recorded in additional paid-in capital and are not subsequently remeasured.
Warrant liabilities are initially recognized at fair value on the issuance date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date until exercised, expired, or otherwise settled. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings within the consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of warrant liabilities is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, using valuation techniques such as option-pricing models that incorporate assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, and the Company’s stock price.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred income taxes assets and liabilities are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 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 the consolidated statement of operations in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which establishes the accounting for employee share-based awards. For employee share-based awards, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Segment reporting
The Company follows ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”, which improves the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This pronouncement introduces new disclosure requirements aimed at enhancing transparency in financial reporting by requiring disaggregation of specific income statement expense captions. Under the new guidance, entities are required to disclose a breakdown of certain expense categories, such as: employee compensation; depreciation; amortization, and other material components. The disaggregated information can be presented either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, often using a tabular format. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. ASU 2025-03 clarifies the guidance to determine the accounting acquirer in a business combination that is effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business. ASU 2025-03 requires entities to consider the same factors in ASC 805, Business Combinations, required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. ASU 2025-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-03 is required to be applied on a prospective basis to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer to incorporate conditions that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases or potential purchases. ASU 2025-04 also eliminates the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for awards with service conditions. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that ASC 606 variable consideration guidance does not apply to share-based payments to customers; instead, vesting probability should be assessed solely under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASU 2025-04 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-04 may be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and introduces a practical expedient available for all entities and an accounting policy election available for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient. These changes apply to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. This simplifies the estimation process for short-term financial assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements. This update provides clarifications and targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software, including enhanced guidance on the identification of software development activities, capitalization of implementation costs, and accounting for subsequent upgrades and maintenance. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recently issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As of
February 28, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $
The future operations of the Company depend on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, and depend on whether or not the Company could obtain continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management’s plans include (i) continued utilization of the $30 million equity purchase agreement entered into with Monroe Street Capital Partners, LP on February 21, 2026, (ii) expected cash flows from expanded licensing of short-form drama content for AI training and uFilm SaaS platform, (iii) additional private placements and convertible note financings, and (iv) ongoing financial support from the President. These actions are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that these plans will be successful, if required, would be available on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
During the period from January 8, 2026 through February 26, 2026, the Company issued a series of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to six investors, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $895,250. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $806,000 in the aggregate, including $11,000 recorded as note receivable after deducting original issue discount and related fees. As of February 28, 2026, $11,000 remained receivable, which was subsequently received in March 2026.
The Notes generally bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and have contractual maturities ranging from approximately nine to twelve months from issuance. The holders may convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of the instrument, which may include a holding period (e.g., 180 days) in certain agreements.
The conversion price is generally equal to 80% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during a specified look-back period (typically 20 trading days) prior to the conversion date, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. The Notes contain customary default provisions, including increased interest rates upon events of default. As a result of these features, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is not fixed and may vary significantly based on the Company’s stock price and the timing of conversion, which may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (Continued)
The Company accounts for its convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470 and evaluates embedded features in accordance with ASC 815. The Company determined that the embedded conversion features are not indexed to its own stock within the meaning of ASC 815-40 because the conversion price is based on a variable discount to the Company’s market price, resulting in a variable number of shares to be issued upon conversion. Accordingly, the embedded conversion features are bifurcated from the host instruments and accounted for as derivative liabilities, with the remaining host instruments accounted for as debt. Derivative liabilities are initially recognized at fair value on the issuance date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
The fair value of the embedded derivatives is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model due to the path-dependent nature of the conversion features, including look-back pricing provisions and assumptions regarding the timing of conversion by the holders. Key inputs used in the valuation include:
- The Company’s stock price at the valuation date
- Expected volatility (approximately 184.4% to 192.9%)
- Risk-free interest rates (approximately 3.35% to 3.40%)
- Expected term based on contractual maturity and estimated conversion behavior
- Zero expected dividend yield
Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including assumptions regarding expected volatility and holder behavior, the derivative liabilities are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820.
In accordance with ASC 815-15-30-2, the Company allocates the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible promissory notes between the derivative liability and the host debt. The derivative liability is initially measured at its fair value, and the carrying amount of the host debt is determined as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the derivative liability. To the extent that the fair value of the derivative liability exceeds the proceeds received, the excess is recognized immediately in earnings as a loss on issuance, resulting in no initial carrying amount for the host debt.
Interest expense recognized over the term of the Notes includes contractual coupon interest and, where applicable, amortization of any debt discount. Debt issuance costs related to the Notes are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.
For the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, the Company recognized (i) a loss on issuance of $2,200 related to the initial recognition of derivative liabilities in excess of proceeds received, (ii) interest expense of $36,783, and (iii) a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $43,600 in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of February 28, 2026, the Company had outstanding convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $895,250, and derivative liabilities with an aggregate fair value of approximately $696,200.

| Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
For the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries generated net income and net losses respectively. However, despite the current profitability, management believes that the Company’s earnings are not yet stable or sustainable. The Company also continues to experience negative working capital and has an accumulated deficit.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management evaluates whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. In making this assessment, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax items, projected future taxable income, and feasible tax planning strategies.
As a result, management
determined that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, after considering the potential
utilization of existing net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. As of February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets was $

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.
Other factors, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis, include but are not limited to:
§ risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms to continue as going concern;
§ the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses;
§ legislative or regulatory changes;
§ risks related to our operations and uncertainties related to our business plan and business strategy;
§ changes in economic conditions;
§ uncertainty with respect to intellectual property rights, protecting those rights and claims of infringement of other’s intellectual property;
§ competition; and
§ cybersecurity concerns.
These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
AI Era Corp. (formerly AB International Group Corp.) is an intellectual property (“IP”) investment, acquisition, and licensing company focused primarily on the entertainment media sector. We acquire copyrights and broadcast rights for movies, television series, and short-form drama series, which we monetize through licensing (broadcast and download), embedded marketing services, AI-enhanced consulting, and direct copyright sales. In addition, we operate the Mt. Kisco Theatre in Mount Kisco, New York, generating revenue from ticket admissions, concessions, and on-screen advertising.
Our business is organized into two reportable segments: the Copyrights and Licensing (“IP”) segment and the Cinema segment. The IP segment, which includes our growing short-form drama library and AI initiatives (including the ufilm AI platform and short-drama AI training licensing), continues to be the primary driver of revenue and growth. The Cinema segment provides stable, recurring cash flow from physical theater operations.
For the six months ended February 28, 2026, we reported total revenue of $5,666,658, an increase of 236% from $1,684,893 in the prior-year period. The IP segment generated $5,552,853 in revenue, while the Cinema segment contributed $113,805. Net income for the period was $2,600,178 compared to $164,895 in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher licensing revenue from broadcast/download rights, embedded marketing services, and new AI-related streams (including $877,319 from short-form drama AI training pilots and $280,127 from the uFilm platform). Amortization expense increased to $2,022,002 as a result of continued investment in our content library.
| 4 |
| Table of Contents |
During the quarter, we continued to execute on our strategic transition toward AI-enhanced media solutions. In January 2026 we received delivery of the ufilm AI intellectual property, which launched on the Uflix.ai platform in February 2026 and contributed initial licensing revenue. We also issued convertible promissory notes for net proceeds of approximately $806,000 and entered into a $30 million equity purchase agreement to support further library expansion and AI commercialization. In December 2025 we completed a related-party share repurchase of 1,875,000 shares (post-split) and implemented a 1-for-2,000 reverse stock split effective December 18, 2025, followed by our name change to AI Era Corp.
We continue to face the challenges typical of our industry, including content acquisition costs, customer concentration, and the evolving regulatory and competitive landscape for AI-driven media. For additional information regarding our business, see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Business section of our Registration Statement on Form S-1.
The information on or accessible through our websites is not part of and is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the inclusion of our website addresses in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is only for reference.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 was $4,143,529 and $5,666,658, respectively. Our total revenue reported for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 was $1,058,543 and $1,684,893, respectively.
The increase was primarily driven by growth in the IP segment. Revenue for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, was mainly attributable to licensing for broadcast and download, embedded marketing services, consulting services, license of short-form drama for AI training pilots, and licensing of the uFilm platform, along with continued revenue from the NFT MMM platform and our Mt. Kisco Theatre. In contrast, revenue for the comparable 2025 periods was driven primarily by copyright sales (including related-party transactions), NFT MMM licensing, embedded marketing, and theatre operations.
The year-over-year growth resulted from the combined impact of: (i) new licensing streams, including short-form drama for AI training pilots $877,319 and the uFilm platform $280,127, (ii) expanded broadcast/download licensing, (iii) higher embedded marketing and consulting services, and (iv) continued NFT MMM licensing, partially offset by lower copyright sales and a modest decline in theatre revenue due to programming mix.
Operation of our movie theatre started in October of 2022. For the six months ended February 28, 2026, we generated total revenue of $113,805, including $78,377 from ticket sales, and $30,030 from food and beverage sales and $5,398 from advertisement. For the six months ended February 28, 2025, we generated total revenue of $162,865, including $105,604 from ticket sales, and $46,637 from food and beverage sales and $10,624 from advertisement. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to less renowned and popular movies on screen compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
For the three months ended February 28, 2026, we generated total revenue of $76,396, including $54,713 from ticket sales, and $17,176 from food and beverage sales and $4,507 from advertisement. For the three months ended February 28, 2025, we generated total revenue of $84,715, including $56,103 from ticket sales, and $22,703 from food and beverage sales and $5,909 from advertisement. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to less renowned and popular movies on screen compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
We expect future revenue growth from continued expansion of embedded marketing, broadcast/download licensing, short-form drama AI training, and uFilm platform services, supplemented by theatre operations.

We experienced a decrease in theatre operating costs for the six months ended February 28, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, mainly due to the decrease in admission revenues and the decrease in movie exhibition costs as a percentage of admission revenue. The theatre operating costs decreased to $49,832 for the six months ended February 28, 2026 from $92,603 for the six months ended February 28, 2025.

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, including the streamline of costs associated with marketing, personnel, and other general and administrative expenses, along with increased professional fees associated with SEC. These costs may increase our operational costs in fiscal 2026 at various levels of operation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2026, we had $1,202,257 in current assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses and accounts receivable. Our total current liabilities as of February 28, 2026 were $2,825,933. As a result, we have a working capital deficit of $1,623,676 as of February 28, 2026 as compared with a working capital deficit of $3,250,026 as of August 31, 2025.

Financing activities used $1,048,351 for the six months ended February 28, 2026, as compared with $417,415 generated in financing activities for the six months ended February 28, 2025. Our negative financing cash flow for the six months ended February 28, 2026 was due to repayment of related party loan, which was partly offset by the proceeds from our private placement and net proceeds from issuance of convertible note. Our positive financing cash flow for the six months ended February 28, 2025 was due to the proceeds from share issuance and the net proceeds from related party loans.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of February 28, 2026, the Company had limited cash, an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.8 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.6 million. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing and achieving operating profits. These factors, among others, raise the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The future operations of the Company depend on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, and depend on whether or not the Company could obtain continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management’s plans include (i) continued utilization of the $30 million equity purchase agreement entered into with Monroe Street Capital Partners, LP on February 21, 2026, (ii) expected cash flows from expanded licensing of short-form drama content for AI training and uFilm SaaS platform, (iii) additional private placements and convertible note financings, and (iv) ongoing financial support from the President. These actions are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that these plans will be successful, if required, would be available on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 28, 2026, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2025 Form 10-K. While there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them, we continue to monitor such methodologies and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of February 28, 2026. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 28, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
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 the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of February 28, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending August 31, 2026: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended February 28, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
