Item 1A. Risk Factors .

The following information sets forth risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this Annual Report and those we may make from time to time. You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have not yet begun generating significant revenue as our business of building properties through the use of modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with atmospheric water generators (“AWG”), together with a property management system powered by internet of things technology (“IoT”), is at a development stage that is dependent upon the financial support of our stockholders to finance our operations. Further, our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As such, we are dependent upon the continued support of our insiders to continue operations.

We have not yet begun generating significant revenues and are dependent upon the continued support of our majority shareholders to continue operations. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. If our assumption regarding profitability or the continued support of our stockholders is not valid, we may not be able to pursue our business plan or continue operations as planned, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, the value of your securities may be significantly and adversely affected or become worthless.

We have substantial customer concentration, with two customers accounting for all of our 2025 revenues.

We currently derive all of our revenues from two customers based in Hong Kong, each of which accounted 82% and 17% of our revenues in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2024, two customers accounted for 72% and 28% of our revenues. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers or the future demand for the products and services of these customers in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from two customers, may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other facts, some of which may be outside of our control. Further, some of our contracts with these larger customers permit them to terminate our services at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions).  If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for our services which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.  We are not parties to long term contracts with these two customers. If either of these two customers terminates our services, such termination will materially and significantly affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.

We cannot assure you that our current business plan will be successful as initiation of our property development projects require significant upfront financing.

We cannot guarantee the success of our current business strategy. The initiation of our property development projects is heavily reliant on securing adequate funding to cover the upfront costs of land acquisition and procuring modular integrated units from manufacturers. While these initial investments are dependent on secured funding, the ongoing construction expenses are expected to be financed through pre-sale deposits. However, the timing and revenue generated from property sales remain challenging to forecast, as they are influenced by market conditions and other external factors. Our business plan is subject to modifications over time, driven by fluctuations in real estate market dynamics, economic trends, the availability and cost of capital, and potential changes in legislation.

We are susceptible to consumer demand risk.

Adverse conditions in our target markets or nationally could be caused or worsened by factors outside of our control, including slow or negative economic growth, sustained elevated mortgage interest rates and inflation, and various other macroeconomic as well as geopolitical concerns, such as military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the U.S. federal government’s financial and regulatory stability with the recent significant increase in import tariffs. Among other impacts, a severe or sustained economic contraction or stagflation around the globe may trigger a rise in home sales contract cancellations. In addition, these conditions, along with heightened competition from other homebuilders and sellers and landlords of existing homes may lead us to reduce our home selling prices or offer other concessions to attract or retain buyers, negatively affecting our revenues and margins and, to the extent the concessions we offer are not sufficient to attract and retain buyers, our net orders.

We are not parties to long term contracts with our clients and operate on a project by project basis. As a result, historical results of operations are not indicative of our future performance or prospects.

Our construction services and property development projects are unique and project-specific, and we are engaged on a project by project basis. Customers are not parties to on-going contracts and there is no assurance that the Company can retain customers. For these reasons, we believe that our results of operations during the periods presented in this Annual Report are not comparable. Moreover, the historical financial information included in this Annual Report may not be indicative of our future performance or prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve similar growth trend of our business in our home markets and/or the international markets where the business, regulatory and customer landscapes may differ significantly from Hong Kong. As such, our past historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future performance or prospects.

We rely on third-party manufacturers and partners for critical components, and any interruptions in the provision of products provided by these third parties may impair our ability to deliver properties to our clients.

We depend on third-party providers for various critical components of our property development projects, such as the manufacturing of modular integrated units and our proprietary atmospheric water generators. These elements are fundamental to our deliverables, and reliance on third parties exposes us to elevated operational risks. As we do not oversee the manufacturing processes of these external providers, there is a possibility that they may fail to supply the required modular integrated units to the expected standards or encounter unforeseen challenges. In such scenarios, securing suitable alternatives promptly, efficiently, and under favorable terms could prove challenging or even impossible. This could result in disruptions to our operations, financial losses, costs associated with addressing deficiencies, diminished customer satisfaction, damage to our reputation, legal or regulatory liabilities, or other adverse effects that may significantly impact our business.

We may face construction services shortages which may adversely affect our ability to deliver modular units.

Though our critical components modular integrated units are manufacturing in the factory, we rely on a network of local workers to perform limited installation and interfacing services. However, our industry and the Hong Kong and Australian economies have experienced labor shortages, as well as delays with respect to state and municipal construction permitting, inspections and utility processes. Such constraints, cost pressures and delays have increased our costs, reduced our revenues, and in some instances, led to home sales contract cancellations or lower customer satisfaction.

We are subject to warranty risks .

Our property development business is subject to warranty and construction defect claims. Due to our dependence on the performance of independent third party manufacturers and contractors to provide products and materials and carry out certain homebuilding activities, inherent uncertainties, including obtaining recoveries from responsible parties and/or their or our insurers, our recorded warranty and other liabilities may be inadequate to address future claims, which, among other things, could require us to record charges to increase such liabilities.  We may also record charges to reflect our then-current claims experience, including the actual costs incurred.  Home warranty and other construction defect issues may also generate negative publicity, including on social media and the internet, that detracts from our reputation and efforts to sell homes.

We are subject to legal and compliance risks.

Our operations are subject to myriad legal and regulatory requirements, which can delay our operational activities, raise our costs and/or prohibit or restrict homebuilding in some areas. These requirements often provide broad discretion to government authorities, and they could be interpreted or revised in ways unfavorable to us. The costs to comply, or associated with any noncompliance, are, or can be, significant and variable from period to period. With respect to environmental laws, in addition to the risks and potential operational costs discussed above, we have been, and we may in the future be, involved in federal, state and local air and water quality agency investigations or proceedings for potential noncompliance with their rules, including rules governing discharges of materials into the air and waterways; stormwater discharges from community sites; and wetlands and listed species habitat protection. We could incur penalties and/or be restricted from developing or building at certain community locations during or as a result of such agencies’ investigations or findings.

Additionally, we are involved in legal, arbitral or regulatory proceedings or investigations incidental to our business, the outcome or settlement of which could result in material claims, losses, monetary damage awards, penalties, or other direct or indirect payments recorded against our earnings, or injunctions, consent decrees or other voluntary or involuntary restrictions or adjustments to our business operations or practices. Any adverse results could be beyond our expectations, insurance coverage and/or accruals at particular points in time. Unfavorable outcomes, as well as unfavorable investor, analyst or news reports related to our industry, company, personnel, governance or operations, may also generate negative publicity, including on social media and the internet, damaging our reputation and resulting in the loss of customers or revenues. We may also face similar reputational impacts if our sustainability initiatives or objectives and/or our social or governance practices do not meet the standards set by investors or third-party rating services. Low third-party ratings could result in our common stock not being recommended for or selected by investors with certain mandates or priorities.

We are subject to risks arising from guarantees provided to related parties.

We may be required to make payments under a corporate guarantee provided in connection with a related party, which could adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.

As of December 31, 2025, our subsidiary has provided a corporate guarantee to a bank in connection with general banking facilities granted to both the subsidiary and a related company wholly owned by our controlling shareholder and director, Mr. Tam Hin Wah Anthony. The maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $1.91 million.

This guarantee represents a contingent obligation, as we may be required to perform under the guarantee in the event that the related company defaults on its obligations to the lending bank. While no liability has been recognized in our consolidated financial statements as management currently believes that payment under the guarantee is not probable, there can be no assurance that the guarantee will not be called in the future.

If the guarantee is triggered, we may be required to make payments of up to the guaranteed amount, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. In addition, because the guarantee relates to a related party, any deterioration in the financial condition of such related party may increase the likelihood that the guarantee will be called.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

We may rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We limit disclosure of such trade secrets where possible but we also seek to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who do have access to them, such as our employees, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties. Despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and may unintentionally or willfully disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. Moreover, if any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate it, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed.

We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that affect many other businesses, including:

increasing costs, the volatility of costs and funding requirements and other legal mandates for employee benefits, especially pension and healthcare benefits;

the increasing costs of compliance with federal, state and foreign governmental agency mandates (including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and defending against inappropriate or unjustified enforcement or other actions by such agencies;

the impact of any international conflicts on the U.S. and global economies in general, the transportation industry or us in particular, and what effects these events will have on our costs or the demand for our products;

any impacts on our business resulting from new domestic or international government laws and regulation;

market acceptance of our products and growth initiatives;

the impact of technology developments on our products and on demand for our products;

governmental under-investment in transportation infrastructure, which could increase our costs and adversely impact our construction schedule due to traffic congestion or sub-optimal routing of our vehicles;

widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis;

availability of financing on terms acceptable to our ability to maintain our current credit ratings, especially given the capital intensity of our operations.

our ability to attract, maintain, and grow our customer base and engage our customers;

pricing for our products and services;

our ability to diversify and grow our revenue;

changes in macroeconomic conditions, political and legal environments;

adverse legal proceedings or regulatory enforcement actions, judgments, settlements, or other legal proceeding and enforcement-related costs;

our ability to attract and retain talent; and

our ability to compete with our competitors.

Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Requirements

We will need additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay any property development projects or land parcels acquisitions.

Our business plan contemplates the commencement of property development projects in Australia, and, as business permits, in Canada and Europe. With respect to property developments located outside of Hong Kong, we will need to seek financing to purchase of land parcels in these targeted regions. While we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions, we do not generate sufficient revenue from operations to finance new projects in our target markets. We expect to finance such future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaboration arrangements, or project financing from financial institutions. However, outside financing may be unavailable because of tight or volatile capital or financial market conditions may hinder our ability to obtain external financing, costly and / or considerably dilute stockholders. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our property development projects.

Raising additional capital may cause a dilution of ownership interests to our existing stockholders or restrict our operations.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, and development agreements in connection with any collaborations. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our property development projects in our target markets.

We are indebted to Zenith (HK), a customer that accounted for approximately 17% and 72% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in the approximate amount of US$132,260 as of December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. We owe approximately $132,260 pursuant to such notes. Both notes have already become due and payable. We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes within the next twenty-four months. There is no assurance that we can generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes after such twenty-four-month period, if ever. If we are required to repay these notes prior to achieving profitability, our ability to implement our business plan or to expand our business may be significantly delayed.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.

We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.

The mainland Chinese government has significant oversight, discretion and control over the manner in which companies incorporated under the laws of mainland China must conduct their business activities. We currently operate in Hong Kong which has a separate legal framework from that of mainland China. However, since Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, there can be no assurance as to whether the government of Hong Kong will enact laws and regulations similar to mainland China, or whether any laws or regulations of mainland China will become applicable to our operations in Hong Kong in the future, which could be at any time and with no advance notice. Therefore, the legal and operational risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong. If we were to become subject to such oversight, discretion and control, including over overseas offerings of securities and/or foreign investments, it may result in a material adverse change in our operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline, which would materially affect the interests of the investors.

We conduct our operations and generate our revenue in Hong Kong. Our major suppliers and customers are currently all located in Hong Kong and China. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The PRC economy is in transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy subject to plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC. While we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and that business development in the PRC will continue to follow market forces, we cannot assure you that this will be the case.  Our interests may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including:

changes in laws, regulations or their interpretation;

confiscatory taxation;

restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or ability to continue as a for-profit enterprise;

expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises; and

the allocation of resources.

Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.

While Hong Kong currently operates under a separate legal framework from mainland China, there remains the possibility that Hong Kong’s legal framework will become more closely aligned with the legal framework of mainland China, including their interpretation, implementation, and enforcement. Changes to Hong Kong’s legal or regulatory frameworks may be introduced with limited or no advance notice. Our operations may also be influenced by the current and future political and regulatory environment in mainland China. Should regulatory requirements from mainland China be extended to Hong Kong-based companies such as ours, this could create uncertainty regarding potential future restrictions on capital flows, foreign listings, or operational requirements. Such developments may affect various aspects of our business, including taxation, import and export controls, healthcare and environmental regulations, land use, and property ownership rights. We may also face increased compliance obligations, operational disruptions, or limitations on our ability to access international capital markets. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, the value of our securities, and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in Hong Kong or particular regions thereof, and could limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors or require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Hong Kong properties or joint ventures. Any such actions (including divesture or similar actions) could result in a material adverse effect on us and on your investment in us and could render our securities and your investment in our securities worthless.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with borrowers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy or criminal proceedings. Only after 1979 did the Chinese government begin to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws that regulate economic affairs in general, deal with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, as well as encourage foreign investment in China. Although the influence of the law has been increasing, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. Also, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. In addition, there have been constant changes and amendments of laws and regulations over the past 30 years in order to keep up with the rapidly changing society and economy in China. Because government agencies and courts that provide interpretations of laws and regulations and decide contractual disputes and issues may change their interpretation or enforcement very rapidly with little advance notice at any time, we cannot predict the future direction of Chinese legislative activities with respect to either businesses with foreign investment or the effectiveness on enforcement of laws and regulations in China. The uncertainties, including new laws and regulations and changes of existing laws, as well as, may cause possible problems to foreign investors.

Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in the PRC through the allocation of resources, controlling payments of foreign currency, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries in different ways. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will continue to pursue policies favoring a market oriented economy or that existing policies will not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting political, economic and social life in the PRC.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities . We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges. However, to the extent that the Chinese government exerts more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers over time and if we were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange and the value of our common stock may significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.

Regulatory authorities in mainland China continue to play a significant role in overseeing various sectors of Hong Kong’s economy through laws, regulations, and state involvement and ownership. While we are based in Hong Kong and operate under its separate legal system, future changes in local laws and regulations—including those related to taxation, environmental compliance, land use, property rights, and other areas—may impact our operations. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

For example, just days after Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) completed its $4.4 billion IPO on June 30, 2021, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi for failure to comply with data and cybersecurity laws and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. Eventually, on July 21, 2022, the CAC fined Didi approximately $1.19 billion, and Didi formally delisted from the NYSE on June 13, 2022.

As such, the Company’s business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the provinces in which they operate. The Company could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. The Chinese government may, in the future, adopt or implement new laws, regulations, or policies that could affect our operations, including those conducted in or through Hong Kong. Any such regulatory changes or interventions could materially impact our business activities and the value of our common stock. Recent public statements by PRC authorities suggest increased oversight of overseas offerings by companies with ties to China or Hong Kong. If such measures are implemented, they could limit or prevent our ability to raise capital in foreign markets, which may materially and adversely affect the value or liquidity of our securities.

Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC federal or local government to obtain such permission and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. As a result, our common stock may decline in value dramatically or even become worthless should we become subject to new requirement to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchange in the future.

Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Severe and Lawful Crackdown on Illegal Securities Activities, which were available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection.

In April 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective in June 2020. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, operators of critical information infrastructure must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments (“Draft Measures”), which required that, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure,” any “data processor” carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. The Cyberspace Administration of China has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments,” The cybersecurity review will also investigate the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs. On January 4, 2022, the CAC, in conjunction with 12 other government departments, issued the New Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the “ New Measures ”) on January 4, 2022. The New Measures amends the Draft Measures released on July 10, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022.

The aforementioned policies and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. While we believe that our operations are not affected by this, as these opinions were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of the opinions remain unclear in several respects at this time. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will remain fully compliant with all new regulatory requirements of these opinions or any future implementation rules on a timely basis, or at all.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, they may suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was signed into law on December 18, 2020, and requires Auditors of publicly traded companies to submit to regular inspections every three years to assess such auditors’ compliance with applicable professional standards . This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted rules to create a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction.

On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued its report notifying the Commission that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong due to positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. Our auditor is based in Hong Kong and is subject to PCAOB inspection. If PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we continue to use an accounting firm headquartered in Hong Kong to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year. There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year, and if we were so identified for two consecutive years, we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and our securities may be delisted from OTC Markets as a result.

In the event the Chinese authorities subsequently take a position disallowing the PCAOB to inspect our auditor, then we would need to change our auditor. Furthermore, we cannot assure you whether the SEC or other regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. The requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer’s public accounting firm within two years, may result in the delisting of our securities from applicable trading markets in the U.S. in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time.

According to Article 177 of the Securities Law of the PRC (“Article 177”), overseas securities regulatory authorities are prohibited from engaging in activities pertaining to investigations or evidence collection directly conducted within the territories of the PRC, and Chinese entities or individuals are further prohibited from providing documents and information in connection with securities business activities to any organizations and/or persons abroad without the prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are not aware of any implementing rules or regulations which have been published regarding application of Article 177.

We believe Article 177 is only applicable where the activities of overseas authorities constitute a direct investigation or evidence collection by such authorities within the territory of the PRC. In the event that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies carry out an investigation on us such as an enforcement action by the Department of Justice, the SEC or other authorities, such agencies’ activities will constitute conducting an investigation or collecting evidence directly within the territory of the PRC and accordingly fall within the scope of Article 177. In that case, the U.S. securities regulatory agencies may have to consider establishing cross-border cooperation with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC by way of judicial assistance, diplomatic channels or establishing a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC. However, there is no assurance that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies will succeed in establishing such cross-border cooperation in this particular case and/or establish such cooperation in a timely manner.

Furthermore, as Article 177 is a recently promulgated provision, it remains unclear as to how it will be interpreted, implemented or applied by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission or other relevant government authorities. As such, there are uncertainties as to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two years upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, there exists a risk that they may determine to suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and may also delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.

Adverse regulatory developments in China may subject us to additional regulatory review, and additional disclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny to be adopted by the SEC in response to risks related to recent regulatory developments in China may impose additional compliance requirements for companies like us with significant China-based operations, all of which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements.

The recent regulatory developments in China, in particular with respect to restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore, may lead to additional regulatory review in China over our financing and capital raising activities in the United States. In addition, we may be subject to industry-wide regulations that may be adopted by the relevant PRC authorities, which may have the effect of limiting our service offerings, restricting the scope of our operations in China, or causing the suspension or termination of our business operations in China entirely, all of which will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may have to adjust, modify, or completely change our business operations in response to adverse regulatory changes or policy developments, and we cannot assure you that any remedial action adopted by us can be completed in a timely, cost-efficient, or liability-free manner or at all.

On July 30, 2021, in response to the recent regulatory developments in China and actions adopted by the PRC government, the Chairman of the SEC issued a statement asking the SEC staff to seek additional disclosures from offshore issuers associated with China-based operating companies before their registration statements will be declared effective, including detailed disclosure related to whether the issuer received or were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges and the risks that such approval could be denied or rescinded. On August 1, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission stated in a statement that it had taken note of the new disclosure requirements announced by the SEC regarding the listings of Chinese companies and the recent regulatory development in China, and that both countries should strengthen communications on regulating China-related issuers. We cannot guarantee that we will not be subject to tightened regulatory review and we could be exposed to government interference in China.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We will have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Hong Kong, which may experience corruption. Our proposed activities may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It will be our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing practices and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we receive from offshore financing activities to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand business.

Any transfer of funds by us to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, may become subject to approval by or registration or filing with relevant governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign-invested enterprises in China, capital contributions to PRC subsidiaries are subject to the approval of or filing with the Ministry of Commerce in its local branches and registration with a local bank authorized by SAFE. It is unclear if Hong Kong subsidiaries will be deemed a PRC subsidiary. If Hong Kong subsidiaries are deemed to be PRC subsidiaries, (i) any foreign loan procured by our Hong Kong subsidiaries will be required to be registered with SAFE or its local branches or filed with SAFE in its information system; and (ii) our Hong Kong subsidiaries will not be able to procure loans which exceed the difference between their total investment amount and registered capital or, as an alternative, only procure loans subject to the calculation approach and limitation as provided in the People’s Bank of China Notice No. 9 (“PBOC Notice No. 9”). We may not be able to obtain these government approvals or complete such registrations on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions or foreign loans by us to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, if required. If we fail to receive such approvals or complete such registration or filing, our ability to use the proceeds we receive from our offshore financing activities and to capitalize our Hong Kong operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and ability to fund and expand our business. There is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of capital contribution that we can make to our Hong Kong subsidiaries. This is because there is no statutory limit on the amount of registered capital for our Hong Kong subsidiaries, and we are allowed to make capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiaries by subscribing for their initial registered capital and increased registered capital, provided that the Hong Kong subsidiaries complete the relevant filing and registration procedures.

The Circular on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, effective as of June 1, 2015, as amended by Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement under the Capital Account, or SAFE Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion, but continues to prohibit FIEs from using the Renminbi fund converted from their foreign exchange capitals for expenditure beyond their business scopes, and also prohibit FIEs from using such Renminbi fund to provide loans to persons other than affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. If Safe Circulars 16 and 19 are interpreted to apply to the Hong Kong Dollar, our ability to use Hong Kong Dollars converted from the net proceeds from our offshore financing activities to fund the establishment of new entities in Hong Kong, to invest in or acquire any other Hong Kong or PRC companies may be limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends or other cash payments, our ability to pay dividends or make other payments is limited.

We are a holding company whose primary assets are our ownership of the equity interests in our subsidiaries. We conduct no other business and, as a result, we depend entirely upon our subsidiaries’ earnings and cash flow to meet cash and financing requirements. If we decide in the future to pay dividends or make other payments, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries and projects may be restricted in their ability to pay dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us prior to the satisfaction of other obligations, including the payment of operating expenses or debt service, appropriation to reserves prescribed by laws and regulations, covering losses in previous years, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency, completion of relevant procedures with governmental authorities or banks and other regulatory restrictions. Under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in China is required to set aside a portion of its after-tax profit to fund specific reserve funds prior to payment of dividends. In particular, at least 10% of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards each year is required to be set aside towards its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of any of these currencies into U.S. dollars may adversely affect the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong and on restrictions on payments from our subsidiaries, please refer to “ Government and Industry Regulations–China ” and “ Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries .” We do not presently have any intention to declare or pay dividends in the future. You should not purchase shares of our common stock in anticipation of receiving dividends in future periods.

Our Hong Kong subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock.

Most of our cash is maintained in Hong Kong Dollars. We rely on dividends from our Hong Kong subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, such as the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur. There is a possibility that the PRC could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders. Current PRC regulations permit PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to foreign parent companies only out of their accumulated after-tax profits upon satisfaction of relevant statutory condition and procedures, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. Furthermore, if PRC subsidiaries and their subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to the foreign parent company, which may restrict the ability of the foreign parent company to satisfy its liquidity requirements. If such restrictions on dividend and other payments are interpreted to apply to Hong Kong entities, our ability to rely on payments from our Hong Kong subsidiary will be adversely affected.

In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, or the PRC EIT Law, and its implementation rules provide that withholding tax rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company and the offering associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “ Government and Industry Regulations – Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange and Dividend Distribution .”

If any dividend is declared in the future and paid in a foreign currency, you may be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you will actually ultimately receive.

If you are a U.S. holder of our shares of common stock, you will be taxed on the U.S. dollar value of your dividends, if any, at the time you receive them, even if you actually receive a smaller amount of U.S. dollars when the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Specifically, if a dividend is declared and paid in a foreign currency such as the RMB, the amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the payments made in the foreign currency, determined at the spot rate of the foreign currency to the U.S. dollar on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Thus, if the value of the foreign currency decreases before you actually convert the currency into U.S. dollars, you will be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you will actually ultimately receive.

Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our shares of common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to tax by the PRC.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation regulations issued by the State Council of the PRC, unless otherwise provided under relevant tax treaties, a 10% PRC withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises, which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or which have such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of shares by such investors is also subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 10%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in relevant tax treaties, if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid on our shares, and any gain realized from the transfer of our shares, would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and would as a result be subject to PRC taxation. Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends payable to individual investors who are non-PRC residents and any gain realized on the transfer shares by such investors may be subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 20%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in applicable tax treaties. It is unclear whether we or any of our subsidiaries established outside of China are considered a PRC resident enterprise or whether holders of shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between China and other countries or areas. If dividends payable to our non-PRC investors, or gains from the transfer of our shares by such investors are subject to PRC tax, the value of your investment in our shares may decline significantly. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “ Government and Industry Regulations–China ”.

Our global income may be subject to PRC taxes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and its amendment and implementation rules, which became effective in January 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with a “de facto management body” located within the PRC is considered a PRC resident enterprise and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry out substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finance and treasury, and business combination and disposition of properties and other assets of an enterprise.” On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation (the “SAT”), issued a circular, or SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although the SAT Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the determining criteria set forth in the SAT Circular 82 may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the resident status of all offshore enterprises for the purpose of PRC tax, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises or individuals. Although we do not believe that our legal entities organized outside of the PRC constitute PRC resident enterprises, it is possible that the PRC tax authorities could reach a different conclusion. In such case, we may be considered a PRC resident enterprise and may therefore be subject to the 25% enterprise income tax on our global income, which could significantly increase our tax burden and materially and adversely affect our cash flow and profitability. In addition to the uncertainty regarding how the new PRC resident enterprise classification for tax purposes may apply, it is also possible that the rules may change in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “ Government and Industry Regulations–China ”.

We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

On February 3, 2015, the State Administration of Taxation issued an Announcement on Several Issues Concerning Enterprise Income Tax on Income Arising from Indirect Transfers of Property by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Announcement 7, with the same effective date. Under Announcement 7, an “indirect transfer” refers to a transaction where a non-resident enterprise transfers its equity interest and other similar interest in an offshore holding company, which directly or indirectly holds Chinese taxable assets (the assets of an “establishment or place” situated in China; real property situated in China and equity interest in Chinese resident enterprises) and any indirect transfer without reasonable commercial purposes are subject to the PRC taxation. In addition, Announcement 7 specifies the conditions under which an indirect transfer is deemed to lack a reasonable commercial purpose which include: (1) 75% or more of the value of the offshore holding company’s equity is derived from Chinese taxable assets, (2) anytime in the year prior to the occurrence of the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable assets, 90% or more of the total assets (excluding cash) of the offshore holding company are direct or indirect investments in China, or 90% or more of the revenue of the offshore holding company was sourced from China; (3) the functions performed and risks assumed by the offshore holding company(ies), although incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction to conform to the corporate law requirements there, are insufficient to substantiate their corporate existence and (4) the foreign income tax payable in respect of the indirect transfer is lower than the Chinese tax which would otherwise be payable in respect of the direct transfer if such transfer were treated as a direct transfer. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, currently at a tax rate of 10%.

Announcement 7 grants a safe harbor under certain qualifying circumstances, including transfers in the public securities market and certain intragroup restricting transactions, however, there is uncertainty as to the implementation of Announcement 7. For example, Announcement 7 requires the buyer to withhold the applicable taxes without specifying how to obtain the information necessary to calculate taxes and when the applicable tax shall be submitted. Announcement 7 may be determined by the tax authorities to be applicable to our offshore restructuring transactions or sale of the shares of our offshore subsidiaries where non-resident enterprises, being the transferors, were involved. Though Announcement 7 does not impose a mandatory obligation of filing the report of taxable events, the transferring party shall be subject to PRC withholding tax if the certain tax filing conditions are met. Non-filing may result in an administrative penalty varying from 50% to 300% of unpaid taxes. As a result, we and our non-resident enterprises in such transactions may become at risk of being subject to taxation under Announcement 7, and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Announcement 7 or to establish that we and our non-resident enterprises should not be taxed under Announcement 7, for any restructuring or disposal of shares of offshore subsidiaries, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

PRC laws and regulations have established more complex procedures for certain acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions  in China.

Further to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the New M&A Rules, the Anti-monopoly Law of the PRC, the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated by MOFCOM or the MOFCOM Security Review Rules, was issued in August 2011, which established additional procedures and requirements that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change of control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC enterprise, or that the approval from MOFCOM be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. PRC laws and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to merger control review and or security review.

The MOFCOM Security Review Rules, effective from September 1, 2011, which implement the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing the Security Review System for Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated on February 3, 2011, further provide that, when deciding whether a specific merger or acquisition of a domestic enterprise by foreign investors is subject to the security review by MOFCOM, the principle of substance over form should be applied and foreign investors are prohibited from bypassing the security review requirement by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through agreements control or offshore transactions.

Further, if the business of any target company that the combined company seeks to acquire falls into the scope of security review, the combined company may not be able to successfully acquire such company either by equity or asset acquisition, capital contribution or through any contractual agreements. The combined company may grow its business in part by acquiring other companies operating in its industry. Complying with the requirements of the relevant regulations to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit its ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to maintain or expand our market share.

In addition, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or Circular 19, on June 1, 2015. Under Circular 19, registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies may only be used within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and the equity investments in the PRC made by the foreign-invested company shall be subject to the relevant laws and regulations about the foreign-invested company’s reinvestment in the PRC. In addition, foreign-invested companies cannot use such capital to make the investments in securities, and cannot use such capital to issue the entrusted RMB loans (except approved in its business scope), repay the RMB loans between the enterprises and the ones which have been transferred to the third party. Circular 19 may significantly limit our ability to effectively use the proceeds from future financing activities as the Chinese subsidiaries may not convert the funds received from us in foreign currencies into RMB, which may adversely affect their liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in the PRC.

SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts (“Circular 16”), on June 9, 2016, which became effective simultaneously. Pursuant to Circular 16, enterprises registered in the PRC may also convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to RMB on a self-discretionary basis. Circular 16 provides an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange under capital account items (including but not limited to foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on a self-discretionary basis which applies to all enterprises registered in the PRC. Circular 16 reiterates the principle that RMB converted from foreign currency-denominated capital of a company may not be directly or indirectly used for purpose beyond its business scope or prohibited by PRC Laws or regulations, while such converted RMB shall not be utilized as loans to its non-affiliated entities. As Circular 16 is newly issued and SAFE has not provided detailed guidelines with respect to its interpretation or implementation, it is uncertain how these rules will be interpreted and implemented.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock ownership plans or share option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who participate in share incentive plans in overseas non-publicly-listed companies may submit applications to SAFE or its local branches for the foreign exchange registration with respect to offshore special purpose companies. In the meantime, our directors, executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who are non-PRC residents residing in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year, subject to limited exceptions, and who have been granted incentive share awards by us, may follow the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company, or 2012 SAFE notices, promulgated by the SAFE in 2012. Pursuant to the 2012 SAFE notices, PRC citizens and non-PRC citizens who reside in China for a continuous period of not less than one year who participate in any stock incentive plan of an overseas publicly listed company, subject to a few exceptions, are required to register with SAFE through a domestic qualified agent, which could be the PRC subsidiaries of such overseas listed company, and complete certain other procedures. In addition, an overseas entrusted institution must be retained to handle matters in connection with the exercise or sale of stock options and the purchase or sale of shares and interests. Our executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who reside in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year and who have been granted options will be subject to these regulations. It is unclear if these regulations will be expanded to include Hong Kong residents or citizens. Failure to complete the SAFE registrations may subject them to fines, and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our Hong Kong subsidiaries and limit our Hong Kong subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to us if Hong Kong residents or citizens are covered under these PRC regulations. We also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional incentive plans for our directors, executive officers and employees under PRC law.

The SAT has issued certain circulars concerning employee share options and restricted shares. Under these circulars, employees working in China who exercise share options or are granted restricted shares will be subject to PRC individual income tax. It is unclear whether these regulations will be expanded in the future to cover our employees in Hong Kong. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries may become obligated to file documents related to employee share options or restricted shares with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options. If our employees fail to pay or we fail to withhold their income taxes according to relevant laws and regulations, we may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC governmental authorities.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations and our reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our shares, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.

U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting and reporting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company and our business. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our Company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment in our stock could be rendered worthless.

In addition, major issues with other U.S. listed Chinese companies in the future, could have a negative effect on the value of your investment, even though the Company is not involved.

Substantially all of our assets and a majority of our officers and directors are located in Hong Kong. As a result, it may be difficult for stockholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, our officers or directors, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders .

Substantially all of our assets are located in Hong Kong. Moreover, a majority of our current directors and officers are Hong Kong nationals or are otherwise located in Hong Kong. All or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process within the United States upon our subsidiaries or any individuals. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of Hong Kong against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. It is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise.

Risks Relating to Securities Markets and Investment in Our Stock

There is not now and there may not ever be an active market for our Common Stock. There are restrictions on the transferability of these securities.

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCID market, the trading market is limited and there can be no assurance that an active and liquid public market will be sustained. Even if an active market develops for the shares, Rule 144, which provides for an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act under certain conditions, requires, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that we will fulfill any reporting requirements in the future under the Exchange Act or disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning us, as is required by Rule 144 as part of the conditions of its availability.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the sec and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock .

Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute "penny stock". Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

You may experience substantial dilution of your investment in our securities as a result of the potential conversion of certain outstanding preferred stock into shares of our common stock.

We have 200,000 shares issued and outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which have potentially dilutive impacts on voting or beneficial ownership. Each one share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to convert 20,000 shares of Common Stock and vote 20,000 shares on matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. ModuLink Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation (“ModuLink BVI”), owns all 200,000 shares issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, holds 50%, 25% and 25% shareholding interests of ModuLink BVI, respectively. As a result, ModuLink BVI controls the voting power of approximately 50.19% of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of this Annual Report. If fully converted, the Series A Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of up to 4,000,000,000 additional shares of common stock, which could significantly dilute the interests of existing common shareholders, including their voting power and economic participation. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the aggregate balances of 1,414,027,236 shares of common stock were issued to our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit. They will, in aggregate of shareholding interests through ModuLink BVI and personally, control approximately 67.93% of the voting power of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis.

The conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the concentration of voting power in a small group of shareholders could materially affect the influence of other shareholders, and any future issuance or conversion of these shares could result in further dilution.

We are a controlled company subject to the control of ModuLink BVI, and our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, together with our other insiders beneficially own a significant portion of our stock, and accordingly, have control over stockholder matters, our business and management.

Under NASDAQ stock exchange rule 5615(c)(1), a “controlled company” is defined as a “company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company.” As of the date of this registration form, ModuLink BVI beneficially owns 200,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or approximately 50.19% voting power of our shares of common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. Our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, holds 50%, 25% and 25% shareholding interests of ModuLink BVI respectively. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the aggregate balances of 1,414,027,236 shares of common stock were issued to our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit. As a result, our directors beneficially own in aggregate through ModuLink BVI approximately 67.93% of the voting power of common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. As a result, ModuLink BVI and our directors will have significant influence to:

Elect or defeat the election of our directors;

Amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws;

Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and

Effect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.

Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our management team, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our management team, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our management team’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by the registration statement.

Secondary trading in common stock sold in the offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.

Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of our company.

Though not now, in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a "controlling interest" which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors:

(i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder's shares.

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder," unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of our company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. Stockholders may never be able to sell shares when desired. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our stock may be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and may prevent our stockholders from reselling our Common Stock at a profit.

The market prices for our securities may be volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:

market conditions in the business marketing services and digital assets services sectors or the economy as a whole;

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;

announcements of the introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors;

actual fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, and concerns by investors that such fluctuations may occur in the future;

deviations in our operating results from the estimates of securities analysts or other analyst comments;

additions or departures of key personnel;

legislation, including measures affecting e-commerce or infrastructure development; and

developments concerning current or future strategic collaborations.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in the following discussion and throughout this Annual Report that are not historical in nature are “forward-looking statements.” You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “believe,” and similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently subject to risk and we can give no assurances that our expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ from those described in this Annual Report because of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, those described under Item 1A “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing or to reflect actual outcomes. Please see “Forward Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Form 10.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10 .

Overview

The Company is engaged in the business of property development by implementing modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with our proprietary atmospheric water generators (“AWG”) and property management system by internet of things technology (“IoT”). We believe that these technologies support the development of sustainable and intelligent properties tailored for a varieties market, including residential, commercial, industrial, and remote or resource-scarce environments.

The Company is strategically positioned for growth by leveraging its integrated ecosystem that combines modular construction, clean energy solutions, water-from-air technologies, IoT-enabled smart living platforms, and AI-driven healthcare systems. Management expects increasing global demand for sustainable, technology-enabled communities to drive expansion across key markets, including Asia and Australia. The Company’s approach of integrating hardware and software into a unified platform enables more efficient construction, reduced resource consumption, and enhanced quality of life for residents. Strategic collaborations with industry partners in robotics, construction, and green technologies are expected to further accelerate deployment capabilities and support scalable growth across residential, healthcare, and senior living sectors.

Looking ahead, the Company anticipates that its proprietary innovations—such as air-to-water generation systems and AI-powered assisted living solutions—will create new revenue opportunities through both project-based deployments and recurring SaaS-driven models. The planned rollout of next-generation products, including household water generation systems and expanded IoT platforms, is expected to strengthen market positioning and diversify revenue streams. Management believes that its focus on cost efficiency, sustainability, and rapid deployment provides a competitive advantage as regulatory requirements and consumer preferences increasingly favor environmentally responsible solutions. While the Company remains subject to execution risks, including market adoption, capital requirements, and technological development timelines, it is committed to disciplined growth, strategic investment, and operational scalability to enhance long-term shareholder value.

We are at a development stage company and during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company derived revenue primarily from modular building construction and design services business. We reported a net loss of $1,270,120 and $283,378 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We had current assets of $616,427 and current liabilities of $729,388 as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, our current assets and current liabilities were $1,030,614 and $904,610, respectively. We had net cash used in operating activities of $1,236,551 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net cash used in operating activities of $345,193 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had accumulated deficit of $4,119,851 and $2,849,731, respectively.

Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders and Zenith (Hong Kong) as more fully described in the sub-section entitled “Going Concern” below. The Company plans to secure additional funding to support its current operations, expected future growth and strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing financing opportunities through debt and equity transactions, as well as exploring new development projects and accelerating the commercialization of its products. If successfully executed, these initiatives are expected to generate positive operating cash flows and improve the Company’s financial position.

Based on management’s current estimates, the Company believes that, assuming continued financial support from officers, directors and existing shareholders, continued forbearance from Zenith (HK), and/or the successful completion of additional financing, it may have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that such support, forbearance or financing will continue to be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Proposed Acquisition of ASA Robotics Limited

On January 26, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to acquire a 60% equity interest in ASA Robotics Limited (“ASA”), a Hong Kong-based robotics and intelligent automation company. The acquisition will be completed through the issuance of 6,500 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, representing total consideration of approximately HKD 5,000,000 (approximately USD 641,026), subject to customary closing conditions.

The transaction was originally expected to close on or before February 28, 2026. On February 27, 2026, the parties mutually agreed to extend the anticipated closing date to allow additional time to complete certain capital restructuring and governance arrangements relating to ASA. The Company expects to complete the acquisition as soon as practicable.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the transaction has not yet closed. Accordingly, no amounts related to the proposed acquisition have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The proposed acquisition represents a non-recognized subsequent event.

The Company is progressing with its proposed acquisition of a 60% equity interest in Asa Robotics Limited (“ASA”), a Hong Kong–based artificial intelligence and robotics company focused on elderly care and healthcare applications. Management believes this acquisition represents a strategic step in expanding the Company’s capabilities in AI-enabled solutions within healthcare and institutional environments. ASA has demonstrated practical deployment of its technologies across multiple public and private hospitals in Hong Kong, including applications in geriatric care, patient support, inventory digitization, and workflow optimization. Its product portfolio, including AI-powered companion and monitoring systems, supports improved patient safety, operational efficiency, and quality of care, particularly for elderly populations. The integration of ASA’s technologies is expected to complement the Company’s existing ecosystem of smart living, modular construction, and IoT-enabled solutions, further strengthening its position in the development of technology-enabled communities and healthcare infrastructure.

The parties have mutually agreed to extend the expected completion timeline to allow for the finalization of certain capital restructuring matters and the establishment of an optimized governance framework for ASA. Management believes that completing these steps prior to closing will strengthen ASA’s shareholder structure and support long-term strategic alignment, including the involvement of an institutional and technology-focused minority investor. While the timing of completion may extend beyond initial expectations, the Company remains committed to consummating the transaction as soon as practicable, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon completion, management anticipates that ASA’s established deployments and ongoing institutional engagements will provide a foundation for future expansion into hospitals, elderly care facilities, and other healthcare-related environments, as well as potential entry into selected overseas markets, thereby contributing to the Company’s long-term growth strategy.

Total:

The significant increase in revenue to $1,294,549 in 2025 from $409,342 in 2024 by approximately 216% was primarily attributable to revenue contributions from the new design and build services project provided to an individual customer in Hong Kong. In August 2024, we entered into a design services management agreement with Zenith (HK) for a total contract sum of HK$4,000,000 (approximately $513,000). Under this agreement, we provided technical design manpower services for the Sheung Shui Town Lot No. 263 (F0874), Kwu Tung North Podium and Tower project. Our scope of work included deploying skilled technical personnel to support design development, project planning, coordination activities, and close collaboration with Zenith HK’s internal team. This engagement marked a strategic shift toward service-based offerings that leverage our technical expertise while requiring less capital investment than traditional design and build contracts. The project was completed as scheduled in June 2025. In contrast, the corresponding period in 2024 reflected lower revenue following the completion of our design and build project with CRCC – Kwan Lee – Paul Y. JV in early 2024, after which the Company did not secure any new contracts in this service segment for the remainder of that year.

Looking ahead, the Company intends to focus on design and project management services for future developments, particularly in overseas markets. Unlike the design and build model, which typically involves obtaining multiple licenses, permits, and regulatory approvals that may vary significantly across jurisdictions, our design and project management approach enables us to leverage our core competencies while minimizing regulatory complexity and operational risk. This strategic shift is expected to enhance agility, reduce capital intensity, and position the Company for more sustainable growth in diverse international markets.

Revenue from design and build services is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress toward fulfilling our performance obligations.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of services were $1,226,786 and $349,179 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively The increase was directly attributable to the commencement and execution of new projects during the year, and is consistent with the corresponding growth in revenue. The higher costs primarily reflect the deployment of additional resources, including labor and subcontracted services, to support the expanded scope of operations across both our Design and Build Services and Project Design and Management Services segments.

Gross Profit

We recorded gross profit of $67,763 and $60,163 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit was attributable to revenue contributions from a new design and build services project provided to an individual customer in Hong Kong.

General and administrative expenses   (“G&A expenses”)

General and administrative expenses were $1,304,707 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $298,675 for the year ended December 31, 2024. These expenses primarily include advertising and marketing expenses, business development, professional and consultancy fees, personnel related expenses, as well as costs incurred in connection with general operations of the Company. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses during the current period was primarily driven by the continued expansion of our subsidiaries, which resulted in higher operational and staffing costs. Additionally, the Company incurred substantial professional fees related to the business combination process, including legal, advisory, and due diligence expenses. These investments reflect the Company’s strategic efforts to support growth initiatives and strengthen its operational infrastructure.

Income Tax Expense

We incurred income tax expense of $Nil and $37,681 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income is subject to taxation in various countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate or are incorporated. No income tax has been provided for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the group entities incurred tax losses for the tax year. The income tax expense incurred in 2024 was Hong Kong profits tax in which the subsidiaries are subject to the two-tiered profits tax rates from 8.25% to 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits derived from operations in Hong Kong, after deducting a tax concession for the tax year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following summarizes the key component of our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Years ended December 31,

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $1,236,551, primarily consisting of a net loss of $1,270,120, an increase in amount due from an associate of $156,389, an increase in amount due from related companies of $58,219, a decrease in accrued expenses and other payables of $237,118. These were partially offset by a decrease in contract assets of $301,502, decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $32,175 and decrease in contract liabilities of $37,529.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $345,193, primarily consisting of a net loss of $245,697, decrease in amount due to related companies of $415,548, with were partly offset by decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $97,930 and increase in contract liabilities of $149,571.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $54,865, which mainly consisted of purchase of equipment of $36,788 and prepayment for mouldings of $18,077.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $25,658, which mainly consisted of purchase of equipment of $25,655.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,062,075, mainly due to proceeds from share issuance of $1,069,230.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $392,509, which consisted of proceeds from share issuance in a subsidiary of $542,308 with offset by the loan of $149,799 advanced to an independent property development entity based in Canada.

Working Capital

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $152,786 and $382,127 and our working capital was deficit of $112,961 and surplus of $126,004, respectively.

Looking forward, we anticipate a significant increase in operating expenses as we execute our expansion strategy across multiple geographical markets. In particular, we expect higher business development, sales, and marketing expenditures as we focus on strengthening our customer base, pursuing new project opportunities, and broadening our sales network to enhance market penetration. In addition, we foresee increased professional and consultancy fees to support technical, legal, and strategic initiatives, alongside higher administrative costs arising from ongoing corporate restructuring efforts and the associated regulatory compliance and filing requirements. These planned investments are intended to position the Company for sustained revenue growth, although they may place increased demands on our working capital in the near term.

Going Concern

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, improving operating performance, obtaining additional capital, and continuing to receive financial support from our officers, directors, existing shareholders and other related parties. Our sources of capital have historically included the sale of equity securities, including common stock sold in private transactions, and short-term and long-term indebtedness. We expect that additional capital will be required to fund our operations and execute our business plan. Although management is actively pursuing external financing and believes that existing shareholders, officers and directors may continue to provide support, there can be no assurance that any such financing or support will be available on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. The Company currently relies on funding provided by officers and directors to support ongoing operating activities, and management has also considered the continued forbearance of Zenith (HK) with respect to the repayment of the notes described below. Accordingly, management believes that the Company may be able to continue funding its current level of operations for the next 12 months only if such support, forbearance and/or additional financing continue. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We were indebted to Zenith (HK) in the approximate amount of $132,260 as of December 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. Both notes are due and payable. Although Zenith (HK) has indicated a willingness to work with the Company regarding repayment of such indebtedness, there is no binding commitment requiring Zenith (HK) to continue such forbearance, and the Company does not expect to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay these notes within the next twenty-four months. If Zenith (HK) were to demand repayment before the Company secures additional financing or achieves improved operating cash flow, the Company’s ability to implement its business plan and continue operations could be materially adversely affected.

We require additional funding to meet our ongoing obligations, support anticipated operating losses, and execute our business plan. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and, over time, achieve profitable operations and positive cash flow. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, including adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities.

We expect to continue incurring business development, sales and marketing, professional, administrative, public company compliance and other operating expenses. As a result, we will require additional funding and expect to seek such capital through equity financings, debt financings, and advances or other support from related parties. If we are unable to obtain additional financing or continued related-party support, we may be required to delay or reduce the scope of our business development activities, curtail planned expansion initiatives, or take other measures to conserve liquidity, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all.

If we are unable to raise additional funds or otherwise obtain sufficient liquidity to support operations, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue our operations, and investors in our common stock could lose all or a substantial portion of their investment.

Material Cash Requirements

We incurred loss of $1,270,120 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect net cash expended in 2026 to be significantly higher than 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,119,851. Our material cash requirements are highly dependent upon the additional financial support from our major shareholders and external financing in the next 12 - 18 months.

We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2025:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the corporate guarantee provided by its subsidiary in connection with general banking facilities granted to both the subsidiary and a related company wholly owned by Mr. Tam Hin Wah Anthony. The maximum exposure under this guarantee is approximately $1.91 million.

This guarantee represents a contingent liability. The Company may be required to perform under the guarantee if the related company defaults on its obligations to the lending bank. No liability has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, as management currently believes that payment under the guarantee is not probable.

Management monitors the financial condition of the related company, but there can be no assurance that the guarantee will not be called in the future. If the guarantee is triggered, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's 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 consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates and assumptions

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the revenue recognition, allowance for Expected Credit Losses and deferred tax valuation allowance.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ModuLink Inc., ModuLink Investment Limited and its subsidiaries and associated company for which it is the primary beneficiary. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities, which are then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purpose. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Transactions involving entities under common control are accounted for using the merger accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the combining entities are presented as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the reorganization. The historical financial information of all entities under common control is combined retroactively for all periods presented. The financial statements reflect consistent accounting policies and principles across all entities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “ Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” , all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.

Revenue recognition

The Company derives a significant portion of revenues from contracts with its customers during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, predominantly by performing design and building services and project design and management services for both public and private projects, with an emphasis on commercial and residential developments.

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard also includes criteria for the capitalization and amortization of certain contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.

The Company acts as the principal in all of its revenue arrangements, as it controls the goods or services before transfer to the customer and is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contractual obligations.

Design and building services

Revenues derived from design and building services are recognized over time by using the cost-to-cost method to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of the asset created or enhanced by the project to the customer. The contracts for design and building services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers. Recognition of revenues for construction projects requires significant judgment by management, including, among other things, estimating total costs expected to be incurred to complete a project and measuring progress toward completion. Management reviews contract estimates regularly to assess revisions of estimated costs to complete a project and for measurement of progress toward completion. No material adjustments to a contract were noted in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company reviews and updates the estimated total costs of the contracts at least annually. Revisions to contract revenue and estimated total costs of the contracts are made in the period in which the facts and circumstances that cause the revision become known and are accounted for as changes in estimates. Management believes the Company maintains reasonable estimates based on prior experience; however, many factors contribute to changes in estimates of contract costs. Accordingly, estimates made with respect to uncompleted projects are subject to change as each project progresses and better estimates of contract costs become available. All contract costs are recorded as incurred, and revisions to estimated total costs are reflected as soon as the obligation to perform is determined. Provisions are recognized for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue, regardless of the stage of completion. When the Company incurs additional costs related to work performed by subcontractors, the Company may be able to utilize contractual provisions to back charge the subcontractors for those costs.

Revenue in excess of billings on the contracts is recorded as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues recognized on the contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until the above revenue recognition criteria are met. Recognition of accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are stated set out in Note 2(I) of ModuLink Inc. of notes to consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

If at any time the costs to complete the contract are estimated to exceed the remaining amount of the consideration under the contract, then a provision is recognized.

Project design and management services

Revenues derived from design and management services are recognized over time by output method based on milestones reached as certified by engineer to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company. The contracts for project design and management services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers.

Sales of Goods

Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery and acceptance of the goods, in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods, net of any discounts, rebates, returns, and value-added taxes.

Income taxes

The Company adopted the ASC 740 “Income tax” provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company is operating in Hong Kong, and maintains its books and record in its local currencies, Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) respectively, which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement ”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from HKD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

December 31, 2025

December 31, 2024

Year-end HKD:US$ exchange rate

Average HKD:US$ exchange rate

Comprehensive income

ASC Topic 220, “ Comprehensive Income ”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

Related parties

The Company follows the ASC 850-10, “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:

Level 1

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3

Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expense and other current assets, accrued liabilities and other payables, accrued consulting service fee, amounts due to related parties and income tax payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in a single operating segment and a single reporting segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is fulfilled by our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our Chief Executive Officer allocates resources and evaluates performance primarily based on financial information for this segment. Other activities, such as the sale of goods, are currently immaterial and do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate segment reporting. Accordingly, all required financial segment information is presented in the consolidated financial statements, and the Company will reassess segment reporting if other activities become material in future periods.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Public companies in the United States are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of various authorities, including FASB and the SEC.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update require enhanced jurisdictional and other disaggregated disclosures for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025 on a retrospective basis, applying the new disclosure requirements to all periods presented. The adoption resulted in additional disclosures in the income tax footnote but did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On November 27, 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires public entities to consider relevant qualitative and quantitative factors when determining whether segment expense categories and amounts are significant, and identify segment expenses on the basis of amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM, and included in reported segment profit or loss. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, applying it retrospectively to all periods presented. As the Company has one reportable segment, the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but resulted in additional expense disclosures and reconciliations in the financial statement footnotes.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this Update provide (1) guidance on measuring expected credit losses using a probabilistic method and (2) a practical expedient for all entities that simplifies the estimation of expected credit losses for current trade accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions. The Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. The Company has elected the practical expedient provided therein. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses on its trade accounts receivable and other receivables is now based solely on historical loss experience and current asset-specific conditions. This change has been applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which removes all references to software development project stages. The ASU requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” which is intended to improve navigability of the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements and interim disclosure requirements and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events from the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
