Accounting for the Transaction
Notwithstanding the legal form of the transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TTNP is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and TalenTec is treated as the accounting acquirer. In accordance with this accounting method, the transaction is treated as the equivalent of TalenTec’s issuing stock for the net assets of TTNP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TTNP are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and operations prior to the closing of the transaction are those of TalenTec.
TalenTec was deemed the accounting acquirer for purposes of the transaction based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
● | TalenTec’s senior management team as of immediately prior to the Transactions comprises senior management of the post-closing Combined Company; | |
● | TalenTec designated a majority of the members of the Combined Company’s initial Board of Directors; and | |
● | TalenTec’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Company. |
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, pro forma adjustments to the combined historical financial information of TTNP, PubCo and TalenTec, give effect to transaction accounting adjustments that (1) depict in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet the accounting required to be applied to the Transactions pursuant to U.S. GAAP assuming those adjustments were made as of January 31, 2025 and (2) depict in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations the effects of the pro forma balance sheet adjustments, assuming those adjustments were made as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Accordingly, non-recurring pro forma adjustments that impact the pro forma income of the Combined Company have been recorded to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended January 1, 2025, and for the year ended July 31, 2024, as the Transactions are assumed to have occurred on August 1, 2023 for purposes of presenting pro forma statement of operations information. TTNP, PubCo and TalenTec have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions, thus preparation of the accompanying pro forma financial information did not require any adjustments with respect to such activities.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Combined Company subsequent to completion of the Transactions. However, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated, and does not reflect adjustments for any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings. The pro forma adjustments represent estimates based on information available as of the dates of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The actual financial position and results of operations of the Combined Company subsequent to consummation of the Transactions may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The transaction between TTNP, PubCo and TalenTec is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TTNP is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and TalenTec is treated as the accounting acquirer. The transaction is treated as the equivalent of TalenTec issuing stock for the net assets of TTNP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TTNP are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the transaction are those of TalenTec.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes that the Transactions were completed on January 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2025 and for the year ended July 31, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on August 1, 2023. Non-recurring pro forma adjustments that impact the pro forma income of the Combined Company have been recorded to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2025 and for the year ended July 31, 2024, as the Transactions are assumed to have occurred on August 1, 2023 for purposes of presenting pro forma income statement information.
TTNP has a fiscal year end of December 31, while TalenTec has a fiscal year end of July 31, accordingly the most recent period ended balance sheet date for TTNP is March 31, 2025 and for TalenTec is January 31, 2025. As TalenTec has been determined to be the accounting acquirer, its latest balance sheet date was used for pro forma presentation (January 31, 2025) and their prior fiscal year end was used for prior annual period presentation. According to SEC Regulation S-X, when the acquiree’s year end is more than one quarter different than the registrant’s year end, the acquirer combines its annual income statement with the acquiree’s for a 12-month period that ends within one quarter of the registrant’s year end. Accordingly, in the pro forma financial statements the following periods have been combined:
● | Historical balance sheet of PubCo as of January 31, 2025, historical balance sheet of TalenTec as of January 31, 2025 and historical balance sheet of TTNP as of March 31, 2025. | |
● | Historical statement of operations of PubCo for the six months ended January 31, 2025 and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024; | |
Historical statement of operations of TalenTec for the six months ended January 31, 2025 and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024; | ||
Historical statement of operations of TTNP for the six months ended March 31, 2025, which derived by subtracting the financial result for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from the combined financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; | ||
Historical statement of operations of TTNP for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, which derived by subtracting the financial result for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the combined financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes:
● | the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of TTNP as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are included in TTNP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2025, the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of TTNP as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which are included in TTNP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on January 3, 2025, the historical audited financial statements of TTNP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which are included in TTNP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025. | |
● | the historical audited combined financial statements of PubCo as of and for the year ended July 31, 2024 and the historical unaudited condensed financial statements of PubCo as of and for the six months ended January 31, 2025. | |
● | the historical audited combined financial statements of TalenTec as of and for the year ended July 31, 2024 and the historical unaudited condensed combined financial statements of TalenTec as of and for the six months ended January 31, 2025. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any management adjustments or anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or other benefits that may result from consummation of the Transactions. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments and, accordingly, actual amounts may differ materially from the information presented. However, management believes that its assumptions and estimates provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Transactions based on information available to management at the time, and the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position of the Combined Company would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor is the information indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company.
NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

NOTE 4. ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2025
The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Pro forma notes:
4(A) | Derived from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss of TTNP for the six months ended March 31, 2025. |
4(B) | Derived from the unaudited statement of operations and comprehensive loss of PubCo for the six months ended January 31, 2025. |
4(C) | Derived from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income of TalenTec for the six months ended January 31, 2025. |
Given TalenTec’s history of net losses and valuation allowance, management assumed an effective tax rate of 0%. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations resulted in no additional income tax adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Pro forma Statement of Operations Transaction Accounting Adjustments:
4(a) | To reflect TTNP’s estimated advisory, legal, audit and other costs related to the TTNP Merger, as an increase to general and administrative expenses. |

NOTE 5. ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2024
The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Pro forma notes:
5(A) | Derived from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss of TTNP for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024. |
5(B) | Derived from the audited statement of operations and comprehensive PubCo for the year ended July 31, 2024. |
5(C) | Derived from the audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive TalenTec for the year ended July 31, 2024. |
Given TalenTec’s history of net losses and valuation allowance, management assumed an effective tax rate of 0%. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations resulted in no additional income tax adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
