YoY shift: Lean -
Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is -0.22pp more bearish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the following Risk Factors before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our financial condition. If any of the events discussed in the Risk Factors below occur, our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the value and marketability of our common stock could decline.
Because we have limited capital, we may need to raise additional capital in the future by issuing debt or equity securities, the terms of which may dilute our current investors and/or reduce or limit their liquidation or other rights.
The terms of securities we issue in future capital raising transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include liquidation preferences, voting rights or the issuance of other derivative securities, which could have a further dilutive effect on or subordinate the rights of our current investors. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity securities will likely dilute the ownership percentage of our shareholders. Additionally, any debt securities we issue would likely create a preference to that of our current investors and, if convertible into shares of common stock, would also pose the risk of dilution.
MD&A (Item 7)
207 words
Management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations are based upon our accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which in turn may impact our reported revenue and expenses. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
We may be unable to obtain necessary financing if and when required.
Our ability to obtain financing, if and when necessary, may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both in general and in the particular industry or industries in which we may choose to operate), our limited operating history and lack of operations, the national and global economies and the condition of the market for microcap securities. Further, economic downturns including the recession we may be entering combined with high inflation and investor uncertainties may increase our requirements for capital, particularly if such economic downturnpersists for an extended period of time or after we have acquired an operating entity, and may limit or hinder our ability to obtain the funding we require. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with any revenues we may generate from future operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease our operations, divest our assets at unattractive prices or obtain financing on unattractive terms. If any of the foregoing should happen, our shareholders could lose some or all of their investment.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Due to factors beyond our control, our stock price may be volatile.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock, and there can be no guarantee that an active market for our common stock will develop. As of December 31, 2025, there were only 53 record holders of our common stock, and trading is very limited and sporadic. Further, even if an active market for our common stock develops, it will likely be subject to significant price volatility when compared to more seasoned issuers. We expect that the price of our common stock will continue to be more volatile than more seasoned issuers for the foreseeable future. Fluctuations in the price of our common stock can be based on various factors in addition to those otherwise described in this Report, including:
The operating performance of the business, including any failure to achieve material revenues therefrom;
The performance of our competitors in the marketplace;
The public’s reaction to our press releases, SEC filings, website content and other public announcements and information;
Variations in general economic conditions, including as may be caused by uncontrollable events;
The public disclosure of the terms of any financing we disclose in the future;
The number of shares of our common stock that are publicly traded in the future;
Actions of our existing shareholders, including sales of common stock by our then directors and then executive officers or by significant investors; and
Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our current or subsequent operating performance and financial condition. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.
Because trading in our common stock is so limited, investors who purchase our common stock may depress the market if they sell common stock.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Pink Market, the successor to the pink sheets. The OTC Pink Market generally is illiquid and most stocks traded there are of companies that are not required to file reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. While we voluntarily file Forms 10-Q and 10-K with the SEC, we are a voluntary filer and not required to file reports with the SEC. Our common stock itself infrequently trades.

The market price of our common stock may decline if a substantial number of shares of our common stock are sold at once or in large blocks.
Presently the market for our common stock is limited. If an active market for our shares develops in the future, some or all of our shareholders may sell their shares of our common stock which may depress the market price.
Future issuances of our common stock could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders, particularly in connection with an acquisition and any resulting financing.
We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of our common stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock could substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company’s former equity holders in a business combination which received our common stock as consideration, or by investors who had previously acquired such common stock, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Because our common stock is subject to the “ penny stock ” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock, which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the OTC Pink Market is presently less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are considered a “penny stock” company according to SEC rules. Further, we do not expect our stock price to rise above $5.00 in the foreseeable future. The “penny stock” designation requires any broker-dealer selling our securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares.
Moreover, as a result of apparent regulatory pressure from the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), a growing number of broker-dealers decline to permit investors to purchase and sell or otherwise make it difficult to sell shares of penny stocks. The “penny stock” designation may have a depressive effect upon our common stock price.
Because of FINRA sales practice requirements which affect broker-dealers, the market price for our common stock will be adversely affected.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy shares of our common stock, which may limit our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares. Further, due to FINRA regulation, there are a limited number of broker dealers which will handle penny stocks, which impairs the market and reduces the market price.
Due to changes to Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our common stock may become subject to limitations or reductions on stock price, liquidity or volume.
On September 28, 2021, the SEC’s amendments to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act became effective. This Rule applies to broker-dealers who quote securities listed on over-the-counter markets such as our common stock. The Rule as amended prohibits broker-dealers from publishing quotations on OTC markets for an issuer’s securities unless they are based on current publicly available information about the issuer. The amended Rule will also limit the Rule’s “piggyback” exception, which allows broker-dealers to publish quotations for a security in reliance on the quotations of a broker-dealer that initially performed the information review required by the Rule, to issuers with current publicly available information or issuers that are up-to-date in their Exchange Act reports. As of this date, we are uncertain as what actual effect the Rule may have on us.
Table of Contents
Upon the effective date of the Rule amendments, the OTC Markets has passed a rule that permits shell companies to trade for only 18 months after September 28, 2021. As a result, we will need to acquire an operating business within the prescribed timeframe in order for our common stock to continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Market.
The Rule changes could harm the liquidity and/or market price of our common stock by either preventing our shares from being quoted or driving up our costs of compliance. Because we are a voluntary filer under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and not a public reporting company, the practical impact of these changes is to require us to maintain a level of periodic disclosure we are not presently required to maintain, which would cause us to incur material additional expenses. Further, if we cannot or do not provide or maintain current public information about our company, our stockholders may face difficulties in selling their shares of our common stock at desired prices, quantities or times, or at all, as a result of the amendments to the Rule.
Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third-party to acquire us and could depress our stock price .
Our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more series of preferred stock that have voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rights and other rights that are superior to those of our common stock. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock in that such preferred stock could have priority over the common stock with respect to voting, dividend or liquidation rights. Further, because we can issue preferred stock having voting rights per share that are greater than the equivalent of one share of our common stock, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our common stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their common stock and/or cause the market price of our common stock shares to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.
Item 1B. Cybersecurity
To date, the Company has not identified any cybersecurity incidents which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. The Company has not implemented any specific policies with respect to monitoring and managing cybersecurity threats. Moreover, the Company is aware of the evolution of cybersecurity risks and is taking proactive steps by keeping up to date our information systems and educating our personnel about these risks.
The Company recognizes the importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining cybersecurity measures to safeguard its information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data. The Company will be looking to adopt cybersecurity processes, technologies and controls to aid in its efforts to assess, prevent, identify and manage such risks.
