AI Financial Corp Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition applies to the Company’s Fintech segment only, as the Company’s Biotech segment has not recognized revenue to date. Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
1.Executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
2.Identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
5.Recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Fintech Revenue
The five elements above, as applied to each of the Fintech segment's revenue categories, is summarized below:
1.Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale of equipment to the customer.
2.Service sales – revenue is recognized based on when the service has been provided to the customer.
The Company’s service is comprised of a single performance obligation to buy and sell or convert digital assets to currencies. That is, the Company is the counter party to all transactions between customers and liquidity providers and presents revenue for the fees earned on a net basis.
The Company is acting as principal in all transactions, and control the digital assets being provided before it is transferred to the buyer, and has risk related to the digital assets, and is responsible for the fulfillment of the digital asset transactions. The Company sets the price for the digital assets by aggregating prices from several liquidity providers and displays them on the Company’s platform. As a result, the Company acts as a price discovery service and acts as a principal facilitating the ability for a customer to purchase or sell digital assets.
The Company considers its performance obligation satisfied, and recognizes revenue, at the point in time the transaction is processed. Contracts with customers are usually open-ended and can be terminated by either party without a termination penalty. Therefore, contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided.
The Company charges a fee at the transaction level. The transaction price, represented by the trading fee, is calculated based on volume and varies depending on payment type and the value of the transaction. Digital asset purchases or sale transactions executed by a customer on the Company’s platform is based on tiered pricing that is driven primarily by transaction volume processed for a specific historical period. The Company has concluded that this volume-based pricing approach does not constitute a future material right since the discount is within a range typically offered to a class of customers with similar volume. The transaction fee is collected from the customer at the time the transaction is executed. In certain instances, the transaction fee can be collected in digital assets, with revenue measured based on the amount of digital assets received and the fair value of the digital assets at the time of the transaction. The Company also marks up or down the digital asset prices and earns revenue from the spread between the buying and selling price. The Company also earns a fee from transfers of currencies and or digital assets. The transfer fees are nominal and are set to offset the fees associated with banking and or blockchain mining fees.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
