Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AI Financial Corporation submitted a Form 12b-25 notifying the SEC it cannot timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 13-week period ended March 28, 2026.

The delay is tied to a reaudit of the company’s 2024 fiscal year financial statements after a mid-year auditor change and the replacing auditor’s subsequent unavailability. The company expects to file the Form 10-Q on or before May 18, 2026 under the five-calendar-day extension provided by Rule 12b-25. The company also discloses an expected fiscal-year net loss of $340 million - $345 million for the year ended December 27, 2025.

Insights

Delay driven by a 2024 reaudit and auditor availability; filing expected by May 18, 2026.

The company attributes the late Form 10-Q to additional time needed to complete financial statements because of a reaudit of 2024 results following a mid-year change in its PCAOB-registered accounting firm. The replacement auditor’s limited availability lengthened the review timeline.

Timing and the final audit opinion are the key dependencies; subsequent filings should show whether the reaudit changes prior-period figures or introduces qualifications.

Reported fiscal-year net loss range signals material loss; audit completion will determine final reported amount.

The company states an expected net loss of $340 million - $345 million for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. That figure is presented as management’s current expectation while audit procedures and adjustments remain in process.

Finalization of audit adjustments and any auditor comments will be important; investors should review the filed Form 10-Q and the audited 2025 financial statements when available.

"expects to file the Form 10-Q on or before May 18, 2026"
Rule 12b-25 is an SEC filing provision that lets a company notify regulators and the public that it cannot file a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual report) on time and explains the reason for the delay. For investors, the notice is a formal heads-up that financial information will arrive late—similar to a company calling to say it will be late turning in homework—so it signals increased uncertainty and may affect trading and risk assessments until the filing is available.

If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

 

 

 

PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

 

AI FINANCIAL CORPORATION

(Full Name of Registrant)

 

 

 

(Former Name if Applicable)

 

8548 Rozita Lee Avenue, Suite 305

(Address of Principal Executive Office (Street and Number))

 

Las Vegas, NV 89113

PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

  (a) The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
     
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
     
  (c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

 

 

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

AI Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 13-week period ended March 28, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company requires additional time to finalize its financial statements for that period – due, in large part, to the Company’s reaudit of its 2024 fiscal year financial statements that were included in its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) (the reaudit required by virtue of the previously announced mid-year change in the Company’s PCAOB-registered public accounting firm and that firm’s subsequent unavailability). As a result, there was a slightly insufficient amount of time remaining after the Company’s filing of the Form 10-K (with the 2024 reaudit) for management to prepare the Form 10-Q and for the Company’s PCAOB-registered public accounting firm to review it by May 12, 2026. The Company currently expects to file the Form 10-Q on or before May 18, 2026, the prescribed due date under the five-calendar-day-extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.

As discussed above in Part III, the Company is in the process of completing the preparation of its financial statements and the audit process thereof for its fiscal year ended December 27, 2025.
