0001437749-26-009176Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is 0.15pp more bullish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.
Tone shift by section
The two components the gauge averages: how Risk Factors and MD&A each shifted in net tone versus last year's 10-K. The headline above is their average, so a green needle over a soft section just means the other section carried it.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
Our business and operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as described below. However, the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we may currently deem immaterial, may become important factors that harm our business, financial condition or operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operations could suffer.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.
We have a very limited operating history in the context of document protection products and services and have yet to develop an extensive record regarding the sale of our products and services. As a result, our ability to accurately forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to:
maintain or develop relationships with suppliers and marketing partners;
establish a customer base;
continue to develop and upgrade our technology, products and services;
provide superior customer service;
respond to competitive developments; and
retain and motivate qualified personnel.
In addition, we have and will continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties are incorrect or change due to market factors, or if we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business could suffer.
We have incurred substantial losses; we expect to incur losses in the future and may never achieve profitability.
To date, we have not generated a profit or significant revenue from operations and in fact have incurred substantial losses. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we maintained $737,787 of working capital deficiency and sustained a net loss of $319,139 and had an accumulated deficit of $49,033,145.

Management has forecasted the Company will not have sufficient working capital to operate for the ensuing 12 months. We intend to fund operations primarily through the issuance of common stock and warrants to outside investors and the Company’s management. As a result, we expect operating losses and negative cash flows to increase for the foreseeable future.
If we are unable to obtain substantial additional financing, we may not be able to remain in business.
We require substantial working capital to fund our business. We have had significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since the inception of our current business and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Our capital requirements will depend on several factors, including our ability to establish and expand a client base, to grow our sales and to employ effective marketing efforts. Our capital needs will also be influenced by the rate of market acceptance of our products and services.
We expect that we will require approximately $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in financing to expand the research and development, and marketing of ComplyTrus t’s suite of products in 2026, and further financing thereafter. If our capital requirements vary materially from those currently planned, we may require additional financing. We have no arrangements or commitments for any financing. Financing may not be available when needed on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to further develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or ultimately, to remain in business.
Our operating results in future periods are expected to be subject to significant fluctuations, which would likely affect the trading price of our common shares.
Our quarterly and annual operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Some of these factors include:
our ability to attract and retain customers;
the introduction of new enhancements in digital watermarking;
price competition;
our ability to remain competitive in our product and service offerings;
our ability to attract new personnel; and
U.S. and foreign regulations relating to the Internet.
As a result of the factors listed above, and others, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful in predicting our future performance. It is possible that our operating results will not meet market expectations in some future quarter or quarters, which would likely result in a significant decline in our stock price.
The data privacy and data protection markets are highly competitive, and our failure to successfully compete will limit our ability to attain, retain and increase our market share.
The data privacy and data protection markets are rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. We compete with companies that provide all or certain aspects of our services, including other data privacy and data protection providers and data-management companies. Our current market share is insignificant.
The data privacy market is currently dominated by a small number of larger revenue-bearing companies, while the data protection market includes a wide variety of small, medium and large providers in many different vertical segments. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, stronger brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of online cloud services increases.
The document protection market is highly competitive, and our failure to compete successfully would limit our ability to retain and increase our market share.
The cyber document security, and its superset, cyber data security are rapidly evolving and extremely competitive sectors and we expect that competition will intensify in the future. We compete with other companies that provide all or certain aspects of our services, including other cyber/document protection systems based on document digital watermarking, and others, and expect that additional competition in the future will be provided by those types of providers. Our current market share is insignificant.
The document protection market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including ContractBook, DocHub, DocuSign, HelloSign, PandaDoc, RightSignature, SignNow and others. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, stronger brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with on-line competitors as the use of the Internet-centric, Cloud-based cyber document security services increases. In addition, cyber document security and cloud document management technologies and the expansion of existing B2B and B2C document protection technologies are expected to result in additional competition.

We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the inability to do so could decrease our revenues, prevent us from achieving profitability and adversely affect our ability to establish, maintain and increase our market share.
The video digital watermarking business is highly competitive, and our failure to compete successfully would limit our ability to retain and increase our market share.
The video digital watermarking market is rapidly evolving and extremely competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. We compete with companies that provide all or certain aspects of our services, including other media-streaming providers, content encoders, video production companies, and Internet data-management companies. Our current market share is insignificant.
The video digital watermarking market is currently dominated by a small number of larger companies, including Irdeto, Nagra, Synamedia and Verimatrix. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, stronger brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. In addition, larger, well-established and well-financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors as the use of the Internet and other online services increases. In addition, new automatic content recognition (ACR) technologies and the expansion of existing technologies are expected to result in additional competition.
We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the inability to do so could decrease our revenues, prevent us from achieving profitability and adversely affect our ability to establish, maintain and increase our market share.
We are subject to rapid technological change, which could render our products and services obsolete.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to offer products and services that incorporate leading technology and address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers. Our market is characterized by rapidly changing and unproven technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs, emerging competition and frequent new service introductions. These changes and developments may render our products and technologies obsolete in the future. As a result, our success depends on our ability to adapt to these changes, particularly to develop new products and services, adapt our current products and services or to acquire new products and services that can compete successfully. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.
In addition, future advances in technology may not be beneficial to or compatible with our business and we may not be able to incorporate technological advances into our products and services in a cost-effective and timely manner. Keeping pace with technological advances may require substantial expenditures and lead time, particularly with respect to acquiring updated hardware and infrastructure components for our systems. We may require additional financing to fund such purchases. Any such financing may not be available on commercially reasonably terms, if at all, when needed and may result in a loss of earnings and market share.
We are dependent upon vendors and other third-party service provider and will be competing with some of these companies.
We are and will continue to be dependent on vendors and other providers to supply the hardware, software and co-location resources that comprise our products and services. We have no long-term or exclusive contracts or arrangements with any of these vendors or providers. We cannot be certain that our current and proposed vendors and service providers will continue to do business with us or that we will be able to establish relationships with new vendors and service providers if necessary. If we are unable to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships and arrangements with these third parties, our business could be harmed. In addition, we will be dependent upon our third-party vendors and other suppliers to adequately test their products before release, and to provide support for their products after delivery. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Further, we currently compete with, and expect to compete with in the future, providers of some of our technology or system components. If we are unable to effectively balance our need to cooperate and compete with these companies, our business may be harmed.
Our services are technically complex and we may not be able to prevent defects that could decrease their market acceptance, result in product liability or harm our reputation.
Our document security, digital water marketing, streaming media, data privacy and data protection products and services are complex, and the steps we take to ensure that they are free of errors or defects, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released, may not be successful. We cannot guarantee that current versions or enhanced versions or our products will be free of significant software defects or bugs. Despite our testing, and testing by our third-party vendors and providers, current or future products may contain serious defects. Serious defects or errors could result in lost revenue or a delay in market acceptance of our products and could seriously harm our business and operating results. Errors in our products may be caused by defects in third-party hardware or software incorporated into our products. If so, we may be unable to fix these defects without the co-operation of these third-party providers. Because these defects may not be as significant to these providers as they are to us, we may not receive the rapid co-operation that we may require. Errors, defects or other performance problems with our products could also harm our customers' businesses or result in potential product liability claims. Even if unsuccessful, a product liability claim brought against us would likely be time-consuming, costly and harmful to our reputation. Nor can there be any assurance that our product liability insurance coverage will be sufficient to satisfy any successful claim.

Any loss of our personnel or inability to acquire new personnel could harm our business.
Our continued operations and future success is significantly reliant on the continued services and performance of our senior management. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team could cause significant disruption in our business. We have no long-term employment agreements with senior management, do not currently maintain any " key person " life insurance and have no employees. As such, our future success depends on our ability to retain current senior management and to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, operations, customer service, and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary personnel could impede our future success.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether the Company is required to maintain such controls, could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's share price. Although we are not aware of anything that would impact its ability to maintain effective internal controls, we have not obtained an independent audit of the Company's internal controls and, as a result, we are not aware of any deficiencies which would result from such an audit. Further, at such time as the Company is required to comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may incur significant expenses in having its internal controls audited and in implementing any changes which are required.
We do not currently have any paying customers.
Our sales were $Nil in 2025 and 2024. We expect that a small number of customers will account for a substantial portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future. The inability to increase the number of customers could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or could cause revenue to drop quickly and unexpectedly.
Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our intellectual property.
We seek to protect our proprietary rights through a combination of patents, trade secrets, trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with employees and third parties. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we have proprietary rights over. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and other resources with no assurance of success and could seriously harm our business and operating results.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, causing us to incur significant costs or prevent us from licensing our products.
Other companies, including our competitors, may have or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or license our products. We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe patents or the proprietary rights of others. We may be subject to legal proceedings, including claims of alleged infringement by others of the intellectual property rights of third parties. If a successful claim of infringement is brought against us and we fail to or are unable to license the infringed technology on commercially reasonable terms, our business and operating results could be significantly harmed. Companies in the technology sector are increasingly bringing suits alleging infringement of their proprietary rights, particularly patent rights. Although we are not currently subject to any litigation or claims, any future claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources with no assurance of success. Intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following:
cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the infringed intellectual property;
obtain a license from the rights-holder or owner of the infringed intellectual property, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all; or
Table of Contents
re-design our products or services.
If we are forced to take any of these actions, our business could be substantially harmed.
Our success depends on the continued growth in demand for e-business applications.
Our primary business strategy involves the development of products and services that enable users to transmit video over the Internet. As a result, our future sales and any future profits will be substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as an effective medium of business by consumers and businesses. To be successful, consumers and businesses that have historically used traditional means of commerce to transact business must continue to accept and utilize the Internet as a medium for conducting business and exchanging information. Consumers and businesses may reject the Internet as a viable commercial medium for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate network infrastructure, slow development of enabling technologies, insufficient commercial support and privacy concerns. In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity or increased government regulation could cause the Internet to lose its viability as a commercial medium. If the demand for e-business applications does not grow or grows more slowly than anticipated, demand for our products and services would be reduced and our revenue would suffer.
Government regulation and legal uncertainties could add additional costs and risks to doing business on the Internet.
We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, export control laws and laws or regulations directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as: user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution and characteristics and quality of products and services.
Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. The adoption of additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business.
The applicability of existing laws to the Internet, property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, export or import matters, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes to such laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes, could create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for our products and services or increase the cost of doing business due to increased costs of litigation or increased service delivery costs.
Our share price has been and could be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The trading price of our common shares has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors including variations in quarterly operating results, new products or services offered by us or our competitors, conditions or trends in the Internet and online commerce industries, changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other Internet and online service companies, and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, including large price drops in 2017, 2015, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2003, 2002 and 2001, that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against affected companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Company's common shares.
We have never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on the Company's capital stock will depend on its earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting the Company at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, its common shares may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the common shares price appreciates.
Table of Contents
Securities analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover the Company's common shares, and this may have a negative impact on its market price.
The trading market for the Company's securities could depend in part on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about Oculus' business and the Company. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover the Company's securities. If securities analysts do not cover the Company, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market prices of the Company's common shares. If the Company is covered by securities analysts, and its securities are the subject of an unfavorable report, the prices for the Company's securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover the Company or fails to publish regular reports on the Company, the Company could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause its share price and/or trading volume to decline.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents could prevent or delay a change in control of the company.
Our articles of continuance and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that could discourage, delay or even prevent an acquisition of our company at a premium price or at all. Any of these provisions might prevent the market price of our common shares from increasing in response to takeover attempts and could prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the common shares.
We intend to issue additional equity securities, which may dilute the interests of current shareholders or carry rights or preferences senior to the common shares.
We intend to issue additional equity securities in order to raise working capital. Accordingly, existing shareholders may experience additional dilution of their percentage ownership interest in our company. In addition, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our existing common shares.
The exercise of options and warrants and other issuances of common shares or securities convertible into or exercisable for common shares will dilute the ownership interests of the Company's current shareholders and may adversely affect the future market price of the Company's common shares.
We may use stock options, stock grants and other equity-based incentives, to provide motivation and compensation to our officers, employees and key independent consultants. The award of any such incentives will result in an immediate and potentially substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could result in a decline in the value of the Company's share price. The exercise of these options and the sale of the underlying common shares and the sale of common shares issued pursuant to stock grants may have an adverse effect upon the price of the Company's common shares.
Limited liability of executive officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against them.
Our bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of directors for monetary damages and provide for indemnification of officers and directors. These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against officers and directors for breaches of their fiduciary duty and may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors even though such action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the shareholders. In addition, a shareholder's investment in Oculus may be adversely affected to the extent that costs of settlement and damage awards against officers or directors are paid by Oculus pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the bylaws.
Requirements of the SEC with regard to low-priced "penny stocks" may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market.
"Penny stocks" are low-priced, and usually highly speculative, stock selling at less than $5.00 per share. Our securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The rule also requires the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commissions payable for the transaction, current quotations for the stock, and, if applicable, the fact that it is the sole market maker in the stock. Consequently, the rule may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may adversely affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market
We do not anticipate paying dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future.
We have not paid dividends on our common shares and we intend, for the foreseeable future, to invest any earnings in the further development of our business. Accordingly, shareholders should not expect to receive any dividends on their shares.

We may be exposed to adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations, which could harm our financial results and cash flows.
Substantially all of our assets and operations are located and conducted in the United States and Canada. As a result, our primary exposure to movements in foreign currency rates relate to Canadian dollar operating expenses, assets and liabilities. A decline in the Canadian dollar would decrease the U.S. dollar value of our Canadian assets while a rise in the Canadian dollar would increase the U.S. dollar value of Canadian operating expenses and liabilities.
International transactions are settled in U.S. dollars. As a result, weaknesses in foreign currencies could adversely affect demand for our products.
Service outages and disruption of our infrastructure may harm our adversely impact business operations and injure reputation.
We may experience outages or disruptions to our services or infrastructure before, during or after the transition to a cloud platform, including information technology system failures and network disruptions. Such events could interrupt our customers' access to our services, adversely affect their perception of our services' reliability and consequently reduce our revenue.
Security vulnerabilities in our products and services or any breach of our security measures may injure our reputation and disrupt our business.
We intend to host a digital Cloud platform with various features including document storage. While this Cloud service will have security features, Cloud-based content has been, and continues to be, targeted by malicious cyber-attacks. Should our security features be breached as a result of third-party attacks or due any error, negligence, product defect or otherwise, and should such a breach compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our cloud services, the business may suffer and its reputation may be injured. In addition, if an actual or perceived security breach occurs, we may become subject to significant liability through lawsuits or claims and lose future sales and customers and there is no assurance that our product liability insurance coverage will be sufficient to satisfy any successful claims.
Techniques used to defeat online security measures are constantly evolving and may not be discovered until after the secured information has already been compromised. Therefore, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative measures.
The financial reporting obligations of being a public company in the United States are expensive, time consuming, and may place significant demands on the Company's management.
The obligations of being a public company in the United States require significant expenditures and place certain demands on our management, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations regarding corporate governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that the Company complies with all of these requirements. Moreover, despite recent reforms made possible by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, the reporting requirements, rules and regulations increase the Company's legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Any changes that the Company makes to comply with these obligations may not be sufficient to allow it to satisfy its obligations as a public company on a timely basis, or at all.
We also expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These factors also could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors, particularly to serve on its audit and compensation committees, or as executive officers.
Our failure to manage or adequately address any one or more of these risks could result in our business suffering a material adverse effect.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under ‘‘ Risk Factors ’’ and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We design and market to business customers digital watermarking, streaming video and video-on-demand (VOD) systems, services and source-to-destination digital media delivery solutions that allow live or recorded digitized and compressed video to be transmitted through Internet, intranet, satellite or wireless connectivity. The Company’s systems, services and delivery solutions include digital watermark solutions and video content production, content encoding, media asset management, media and application hosting, multi-mode content distribution, transaction data capture and reporting, e-commerce, specialized engineering services, and Internet streaming hardware.
The Company’s products and services are based on its data privacy, data protection and media delivery infrastructure, software and services. It has developed a number of specific products and services that include Cloud-DPS, CTSS and Forget-Me-Yes™.
As more fully discussed below we have not been profitable, and our revenues for 2025 and 2024 were $Nil. We cannot predict our revenue levels for the next 12 months, or thereafter, nor when, or if, our operations will become profitable. We will require additional financing, both for fiscal 2026 and thereafter, to continue to operate and expand our business. There is no assurance that such financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes, impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results:
Accounting for stock-based compensation; and
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION . Under ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value for awards that are expected to vest is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. The amount of expense attributed is based on estimated forfeiture rate, which is updated based on actual forfeitures as appropriate. This option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, pre-vesting forfeiture rate and an option’s expected life. The financial statements include amounts that are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES . We account for commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies. We record a liability for commitments and contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable.

Results of Operations
For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting of product marketing expenses, consulting fees, office, professional fees and other expenses to execute our business plan and for our day-to-day operations, increased in the year ended December 31, 2025. We continue to develop and market C-DPS – Cloud Document Protection System and the “Right-to-be-Forgotten” and “Right-to-Erase” platform. Administrative expenses have decreased/increased moderately as a result of insignificant fluctuations in general costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $34,682 to $258,227 from $223,545 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This included professional expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 which increased to $97,576 from $58,901 for the comparable year in 2024. We incurred increased costs in 2025 due to higher legal fees incurred during the fiscal year.
Research and development for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased to $1,008 from $6,926 for the comparable period in 2024. We incurred decreased costs in 2025 due to minimal activities during the fiscal year.
We have arranged for additional staff and consultants to engage in marketing activities in an effort to identify and assess appropriate market segments, develop business arrangements with prospective partners, create awareness of new products and services, and communicate to the industry and potential customers. Other components of selling, general and administrative expenses did not change significantly.

Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased to $272 from $740 for the comparable year in 2024 We incurred comparable costs in 2025 as the management maintain its decision in 2024, to develop CTSS (ComplyScan®) as well as the on-going development of our subsidiary’s Forget-Me-Yes® zero trust data privacy platform. (“Right-to-be-Forgotten” and “Right-to-Erase”).
Net Losses
To date, we have not achieved profitability and expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Our net loss for fiscal 2025 was $319,139, compared with a net loss of $327,360 for fiscal 2024. Our total comprehensive loss for fiscal 2025 was $328,314 which includes currency translation differences of $9,175, compared with a comprehensive loss of $325,674 for fiscal 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2025 our cash position was $9,409, a decrease from $11,718 at December 31, 2024. We had a working capital deficiency of $737,787 and an accumulated deficit of $49,033,145 at December 31, 2025.
We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily by shareholders’ loans and issuing equity securities to our officers, directors, employees and a small group of investors, and from short-term bridge loans from members of management.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $9,409 in cash. Management has forecasted the Company will not have sufficient working capital to operate for the ensuing 12 months. We will require an additional $3 million to $5 million to finance operations for the fiscal 2026 and we intend to obtain such financing through sales of our equity securities. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing, or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company, to meet future operational needs which may result in the delay, reduction, or discontinuation of ongoing development programs.
Assuming the aforementioned $3 million to $5 million in financing is obtained, continuing operations for the longer-term will be supported through anticipated growth in revenues and through additional sales of our securities. Although longer-term financing requirements may vary depending upon our sales performance, management expects that we will require additional financing of $3 million to $5 million for fiscal 2026. We have no binding commitments or arrangements for additional financing, and there is no assurance that management will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Statement of Cash Flows
The Company had cash of $9,409 (2024 - $11,718) as of December 31, 2025.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to cash used in operating activities during the fiscal year.

Cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities were $6,866 (2024 - $146,542) for the year ended December 31, 2025. Operating activities were affected by the change in non-cash working capital balances because of the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $30,918 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to related parties of $290,051.
Reverse Stock Split
At the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on October 15, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-10. The proposal granted the Board discretion to determine the final reverse stock split ratio, as well as the timing and implementation of the reverse stock split, if at all.
If implemented, the reverse stock split would combine the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock into a smaller number of shares, with each stockholder maintaining the same proportional ownership interest in the Company, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. The reverse stock split would affect all holders of the Company’s common stock uniformly and would not alter any stockholder’s relative voting power or ownership percentage, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. [Fractional shares, if any, would be rounded up to the nearest whole share / paid out in cash / otherwise treated in accordance with the terms determined by the Board.]
The primary purpose of the reverse stock split would be to increase the per-share market price of the Company’s common stock, which could help the Company meet or maintain certain stock exchange listing requirements and potentially improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company’s common stock. However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if implemented, would have the intended effects, including maintaining compliance with applicable listing standards or improving the market price or trading activity of the Company’s common stock.
If the reverse stock split is implemented, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock would be reduced in accordance with the selected ratio. The reverse stock split would also result in a proportional adjustment to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding equity awards, warrants, options, and other convertible securities, as well as a proportional adjustment to the applicable exercise or conversion prices. The par value of the Company’s common stock would remain unchanged. [The number of authorized shares of common stock would remain unchanged / would be adjusted proportionally, as applicable.]
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Board has not determined whether to implement the reverse stock split, nor has it determined the ratio or timing of any such action. The Board retains the discretion to abandon the reverse stock split entirely if it determines that implementing the reverse stock split would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
