0001213900-26-044157Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is -0.13pp 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.
We have incurred substantial operating losses since 2022 and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since 2022. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 we incurred substantial losses as shown in the financial statement section. Our actual revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 was approximately $9.3 million and $[●] million, respectively. Such volume and relatively low gross profit margins are not enough to support high administrative costs relating to our going public and expenses as a public company. We raised equity capital twice in 2024 but utilized most proceeds towards repayment of debt incurred in the going-public merger, higher corporate costs and paying interest and principal on short-term loans. We also raised money in 2025 by issuing convertible debt and convertible Preferred Equity. Due to the negative cash flow, our financial position is under pressure, and may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. If we are unable to realize our assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve (12) month period, we may have to consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources:
financial support from our related parties and shareholders;
other available sources of financing from banks and other financial institutions; and
equity financing through capital market.
We can make no assurances that required financings will be available for the amounts needed, or on terms commercially acceptable to us, if at all. If one or all of these events does not occur or subsequent capital raises are insufficient to bridge financial and liquidity shortfall, there would likely be a material adverse effect on us and would materially adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
the substantial shortfall in revenue may lead to severe liquidity constraints, impacting our ability to fund operations and meet financial obligations;
reduction in revenue may necessitate pay cuts in key areas (e.g., research and development), marketing and staffing, potentially hindering our growth and competitive position;
missing revenue projections by a large margin may diminish investor confidence, potentially leading to a decline in stock price and making it more difficult to obtain financings in the future; and
significant deviations from projected revenue may trigger increased scrutiny from regulatory bodies, necessitating more stringent reporting and compliance efforts.
These risks may threaten our operational viability and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our competitors and potential competitors may develop products and technologies that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products, and we may not successfully develop new products or improve existing products or maintain our effectiveness in reaching consumers through rapidly evolving communication vehicles.
Our products compete against national and regional products and private label products produced by various suppliers, many of which are established companies that provide products that perform functions similar to our products. Our competitors may develop or market products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our current or future products. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, operational, marketing and technical resources than we do. Moreover, some of these competitors may offer a broader array of products and sell their products at prices lower than ours, and may have greater name recognition. Due to this competition, there is no assurance that we will not encounter difficulties in generating or increasing revenues and capturing market share. In addition, increased competition may lead to reduced prices and/or margins for products we sell. We may not have the financial resources, relationships with key suppliers, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully in the future.
Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to improve our existing products and to develop, manufacture and market new products to meet evolving consumer needs. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or product innovations which satisfy consumer needs or achieve market acceptance, or that we will develop, manufacture and market new products or product innovations in a timely manner. If we fail to successfully develop, manufacture and market new products or product innovations, or if we fail to reach existing and potential consumers, our ability to maintain or grow our market share may be adversely affected, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the development and introduction of new and products and product innovations require substantial research, development and marketing expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup if such new products or innovations do not achieve market acceptance.
Negative economic conditions, specifically in the United States and Canada, could adversely affect our business.
Uncertain global economic conditions could adversely affect our business. Negative global economic trends, particularly in the United States and Canada, such as decreased consumer and business spending, high unemployment levels, reduced rates of home ownership and housing starts, high foreclosure rates and declining consumer and business confidence, pose challenges to our business and could result in declining revenues, profitability and cash flow. Although we continue to devote significant resources to support our marketing, unfavorable economic conditions may negatively affect consumer demand for our products. Our most price-sensitive customers may trade down to lower priced products during challenging economic times or if current economic conditions worsen, while other customers may reduce discretionary spending during periods of economic uncertainty, which could reduce sales volumes of our products in favor of our competitors’ products or result in a shift in our product mix from higher margin to lower margin products.
Our international operations make us susceptible to the costs and risks associated with operating internationally.
We source 100% of our products from suppliers. Our top suppliers include entities in Europe, Asia and North America. We may establish an additional manufacturing facility in North America in the future. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries, including:
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
additional costs of compliance with local regulations;
in certain countries, historically higher rates of inflation than in the United States;
changes in the economic conditions or consumer preferences or demand for our products in these markets;
restrictive actions by multi-national governing bodies, foreign governments or subdivisions thereof;
changes in U.S. and foreign laws regarding trade and investment;
less robust protection of our intellectual property and proprietary rights under foreign laws; and
difficulty in obtaining distribution and support for our products.
In addition, our operations outside the United States are subject to the risk of new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions, potential difficulties in staffing and managing local operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. The costs associated with operating our continuing international business could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future.
As a public reporting company, we are subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our business.
We are a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These rules and regulations require, among other things, that we establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our internal control over financial reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes, and controls, as well as on our personnel.
As a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting by the time our second annual report is filed with the SEC and thereafter, which requires us to document and make significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting. As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We may need to hire additional legal, accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function.
Likewise, as a public company, we may lose our status as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and become subject to the SEC’s internal control over financial reporting management and auditor attestation requirements in the year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which would occur once we are subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for 12 months, have filed at least one SEC annual report and the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter. If we become subject to the SEC’s internal control reporting and attestation requirements, we might not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In addition, our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in our business, including increased complexity resulting from any international expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by our independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports.
We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls. We expect to incur costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve our internal control environment.
Our limited operating history in the CEA industry makes it difficult to accurately forecast our future operating results and evaluate our business prospects.
The CEA industry in North America is rapidly evolving due to the constant development of technology and the variety of consumer demand. Our future performance may be more susceptible to certain risks than a company with a longer operating history. Many of the factors discussed below could adversely affect our business and prospects and future performance, including:
our ability to maintain, expand and further develop our relationships with indoor growing customers to meet their increasing demand;
our ability to develop and introduce new CEA products;
the continued growth and development of the CEA industry;
our ability to keep up with the technological developments or new business models of the rapidly evolving CEA industry;
our ability to attract and retain qualified and skilled employees;
our ability to effectively manage our growth; and
our ability to compete effectively with our competitors in the CEA industry.
We may not be successful in addressing the risks and uncertainties listed above, among others, which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.
Our marketing activities may not be successful.
We plan to invest substantial resources in advertising, consumer promotions and other marketing activities to maintain, extend and expand our customer base. There can be no assurance that our marketing strategies will be effective or that the amount we plan to invest in advertising activities will result in a corresponding increase in sales of our products. If our marketing initiatives are not successful, we will have incurred significant expenses without the benefit of higher revenues.
We typically do not enter into long term contracts with our customers and all the orders are placed on an as-needed base, and any failure to keep the recurring customers or develop new customers could result in a material adverse impact on our financial performance and business prospects.
During the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, we derived a significant percentage of our total revenue from a few customers. Our five largest customers in the fiscal years 2025 and 2024 accounted for 56.30% and 51.13% of our total revenue, respectively. Elevated Equipment Supply had been our top customer during fiscal year 2025, accounting for 32.22% and 12.27% of our revenue during the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Iluminar Lighting supply had been our top customer during fiscal year 2024, accounting for 4.24% and 17.21% of our revenue during the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Although we do have recurring customers among our top customers, typically we do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers and all the orders are placed on an as-needed base. Any failure in keeping the recurring customers or developing new customers may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
There are a number of factors, including our performance, that could cause the loss of, or decrease in the volume of customers and business from a customer. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain the business cooperation with our current customers at the same level, or at all. The loss of customers and business from one or more of the significant customers, could materially and adversely affect our revenue and profit. Furthermore, if any significant customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure an alternative arrangement with a comparable customer in a timely manner, or at all.
In order to increase our sales and marketing infrastructure, we will need to grow the size of our organization and carefully manage our expanding operations to achieve sustainable growth, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.
As we continue to work to expand our business, we will need to expand the size of our employee base for managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial and other resources. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain, motivate and integrate additional employees. In addition, our management may have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from our day-to-day activities and devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities. Our future financial performance and our ability to continue to grow our operation and compete in the hydroponics industry effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth.
To achieve increased revenue levels, market our products internationally, complete research and develop future products, we believe that we will be required to periodically expand our operations, particularly in the areas of sales and marketing, research and development, manufacturing, and quality assurance. As we expand our operations in these areas, management will face new and increased responsibilities. To accommodate any growth and compete effectively, we must continue to upgrade and improve our information systems, procedures and controls across our business, as well as expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. Our future success will depend significantly on the ability of our current and future management to operate effectively. Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations. If we are unable to effectively manage our expected growth, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our estimates of the CEA products market opportunity and forecasts of the market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.
Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, including indoor growing and CEA products markets, are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of customers covered by these market opportunity estimates will purchase our products at all or generate any particular level of revenue for us. Any expansion in our market depends on a number of factors, including the cost and perceived value associated with our products and those of our competitors. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasts, our business could fail to grow at the rate we anticipate, if at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including success in implementing its business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth, should not be taken as indicative of our future revenue or growth prospects.
We occupy our warehouse and officers under long-term leases, and we may be unable to renew our leases at the end of their terms.
Our warehouse and corporate offices are leased for periods ranging from three to five years, with options to renew for specified periods of time. We believe that our future leases will likely also be long-term and have similar renewal options. If we close or stop fully utilizing a warehouse, we will most likely remain obligated to perform under the applicable lease, which would include, among other things, making the base rent payments, and paying insurance, taxes and other expenses on the leased property for the remainder of the lease term. As of December 31, 2025, our future minimum aggregate rental commitments warehouse leases is approximately $0.5 million. Our inability to terminate a lease when we stop fully utilizing a warehouse or exit a market can have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
In addition, at the end of the lease term and any renewal period for a warehouse, we may be unable to renew the lease without substantial additional cost, if at all. If we are unable to renew our warehouse leases, we may close or relocate a warehouse, which could subject us to construction and other costs and risks, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Further, we may not be able to secure a replacement warehouse in a location that is as commercially viable, including access to rail service. Having to close a warehouse, even briefly to relocate, could reduce the sales that such warehouse would have contributed to our revenues.
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our profitability and cash flows.
We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States federal jurisdiction, various local and state jurisdictions, and one foreign jurisdiction. Our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets (such as net operating losses and tax credits) and liabilities, changes in tax laws and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly related to our operations in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income of the appropriate character in the relevant jurisdiction.
From time to time, tax proposals are introduced or considered by the U.S. Congress or the legislative bodies in local, state and foreign jurisdictions that could also affect our tax rate, the carrying value of our deferred tax assets, or our tax liabilities. Our tax liabilities are also affected by the amounts we charge for inventory, services, licenses and funding. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. In connection with these audits (or future audits), tax authorities may disagree with our determinations and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of our audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. As a result, the ultimate resolution of our tax audits, changes in tax laws or tax rates, and the ability to utilize our deferred tax assets could materially affect our tax provision, net income and cash flows in future periods.
We may require additional financing to achieve our business goals, and a failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our operations and future growth.
The CEA products manufacturing and sales business is extremely capital-intensive and we expect to expend significant resources to complete the build-out of our facilities, if any, scale our production capacity, and develop new products. These expenditures are expected to include costs of constructing and commissioning new facilities, costs associated with marketing, working capital, costs of attracting and retaining a skilled local labor force, and costs associated with research and development in support of future commercial opportunities. As of the date of this annual report, we have not committed any capital towards establishing a manufacturing facility, and we do not have any current plans to build one although we may establish a manufacturing facility in the future.
We expect that our existing cash and credit available under our loan agreements will be sufficient to fund our planned operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months. However, our operating plan may change because of factors currently unknown, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations. Such financings may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for current or future operating plans. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain financing when needed may make it more difficult for us to operate its business or implement our growth plans.
We currently have one warehouse in California as a distribution center. We may do a supply agreement with a U.S.-based manufacturer in the near future in which case, we can fulfill customer orders directly from such supplier.
Adverse changes or developments affecting our distributing center could impair our ability to deliver our products across the North American market. Any shutdown or period of reduced production, which may be caused by regulatory noncompliance or other issues, as well as other factors beyond our control, such as severe weather conditions, natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage, disease outbreaks or pandemics, equipment failure or delay in supply delivery, would significantly disrupt our ability to deliver our products, meet our contractual obligations, and operate our business in a timely manner.
Our ability to accurately forecast future results of operations is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. In future periods, our revenue growth could slow or decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our products, increasing competition, a decrease in the growth of the overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to take advantage of growth opportunities. In addition, operating equipment for CEA products manufacturing and assembling are costly to replace or repair, and our equipment supply chains may be disrupted in connection with pandemics, trade wars or other factors, assuming that we will establish a manufacturing facility in the near future. If any material amount of our machinery were damaged, we would be unable to predict when, if at all, it could replace or repair such machinery or find co-manufacturers with suitable alterative machinery, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and future revenue growth are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.
If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities.
Although there have not been any product liability lawsuits brought against us as of the date of this annual report, we face a potential risk of product liability as a result of any of the products that we offer for sale. For example, we may be sued if any product we sell allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in: (i) decreased demand for products that we may offer for sale; (ii) injury to our reputation; (iii) costs to defend the related litigation; (iv) a diversion of management’s time and our resources; (v) substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients; (vi) product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions; and (vii) a decline in our stock price. Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products we develop. We do not maintain any product liability insurance. Even if we obtain product liability insurance in the future, we may have to pay amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.
Our top suppliers are principally located in regions that are subject to earthquakes and other natural and man-made disasters.
Our top suppliers are located in regions susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, such as the United States and southern China, which have experienced either severe flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, extreme weather conditions or power loss. If there is a major earthquake or any other disaster in a region where one of our top suppliers is located, the ability of the supplier to respond to our request of products could be severely and negatively influenced. Additionally, the disasters could adversely impact the transportation condition in the region, and our ability to transport products from the supplier to our warehouses in the U.S. could be compromised, which could result in our customers experiencing a significant delay in receiving their CEA products and a decrease in our service levels for a period of time. Any such business interruption could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our reliance on a limited base of suppliers for our products may result in disruptions to our business and adversely affect our financial results.
During the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the total dollar volume of the transactions between our five largest suppliers and us accounted for 99.99% and 90.94% of our total dollar volume of the transactions between all our suppliers and us, respectively.
Although we continue to expand our suppliers base, we continue to rely on a limited number of suppliers for our products. If we are unable to maintain supplier arrangements and relationships, if we are unable to contract with suppliers at the quantity and quality levels needed for our business, or if any of our key suppliers becomes insolvent or experience other financial distress, we could experience disruptions in production, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
A significant interruption in the operation of our suppliers’ facilities could impact our capacity to produce products and service our customers, which could adversely affect revenues and earnings.
Operations at our suppliers’ facilities are subject to disruption for a variety of reasons, including fire, flooding or other natural disasters, disease outbreaks or pandemics, acts of war, terrorism, government shut-downs and work stoppages. A significant interruption in the operation of our suppliers’ facilities, especially for those products manufactured at a limited number of facilities, could significantly impact our capacity to sell products and service our customers in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our customer relationships, revenues, earnings and financial position.
If our suppliers are unable to source raw materials in sufficient quantities, on a timely basis, and at acceptable costs, our ability to sell our products may be harmed.
The manufacture of some of our products is complex and requires precise high-quality manufacturing that is difficult to achieve. We may experience difficulties in manufacturing our products on a timely basis and in sufficient quantities.
These difficulties have primarily related to difficulties associated with ramping up production of newly introduced products and may result in increased delivery lead-times and increased costs of manufacturing these products. Our failure to achieve and maintain the required high manufacturing standards could result in further delays or failures in product testing or delivery, cost overruns, product recalls or withdrawals, increased warranty costs or other problems that could harm our business and prospects.
In determining the required quantities of our products and the manufacturing schedule, we must make significant judgments and estimates based on historical experience, inventory levels, current market trends and other related factors. Because of the inherent nature of estimates, there could be significant differences between our estimates and the actual amounts of products we require, which could harm our business and results of operations.
Disruptions in availability or increases in the prices of raw materials sourced by suppliers could adversely affect our results of operations.
We source many of our products from suppliers outside of the United States. The general availability and price of raw materials of those products can be affected by numerous forces beyond our control, including political instability, trade restrictions and other government regulations, duties and tariffs, price controls, changes in currency exchange rates and weather.
A significant disruption in the availability of raw materials sourced by our suppliers for any of our key products could cause increases in the price of products we source from our suppliers, which could adversely affect our ability to manage our cost structure. Market conditions may limit our ability to raise selling prices to offset increases in our product sourcing costs. We may not be able to locate or utilize alternative inputs for certain products in time. For certain inputs, new sources of products may have to be qualified under regulatory standards, which can require additional investment and delay bringing a product to market.
Arbitration proceedings, legal proceedings, investigations and other claims or disputes are costly to defend and, if determined adversely to us, could require us to pay fines or damages, undertake remedial measures, or prevent us from taking certain actions, any of which could adversely affect our business.
In the course of our business, we are, and in the future may be, a party to arbitration proceedings, legal proceedings, investigations and other claims or disputes, which have related and may relate to subjects including commercial transactions, intellectual property, securities, employee relations or compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We face a significant risk due to ongoing litigation that has the potential to result in future financial obligations, adversely impacting our business and profitability. The outcome of the present legal proceedings may lead to financial liabilities, such as settlements or damages, posing a material threat to our financial condition and cash flow. Moreover, adverse litigation outcomes may harm our reputation, affecting customer trust and investor confidence, thereby influencing market share and brand value. While we are actively managing and addressing the litigation, uncertainties persist, emphasizing the importance of transparency in communication with stakeholders and the implementation of effective risk mitigation strategies.
We may not be able to adequately obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our rights to our registered trademark “eFinity.” We have not sought to register every one of our trademarks either in the United States or in every country in which such mark is used. Furthermore, because of the differences in foreign trademark laws, we may not receive the same protection in other countries as we would in the United States with respect to the registered trademark we hold. If we are unable to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property on our trademark, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property right may be inadequate and despite our efforts to protect the right, unauthorized third parties, including our competitors, may use our trademark without our permission. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we have entered into confidentiality agreements with each party that has or may have had access to our know-how and trade secrets. Moreover, our contractual arrangements may be breached or otherwise not effectively prevent disclosure of, or control access to, our intellectual property and confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure. If we are unable to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property right, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Litigation may be necessary to enforce our trademark and protect ourselves against claims by third parties that our products or services infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate their intellectual property rights or proprietary rights. Any litigation or claims brought by us could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property right may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property right, and if such defenses, counterclaims or countersuits are successful, we could lose valuable intellectual property right. Additionally, the mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property right in foreign jurisdictions may be inadequate.
We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
Although we try to ensure that our employees do not use the intellectual property and proprietary rights, including proprietary information or know-how, of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed intellectual property or proprietary rights, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such employee’s former employer. We are not aware of any threatened or pending claims related to these matters or concerning agreements with our employees, but in the future litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims. If we fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property or proprietary rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.
Intellectual property disputes could cause us to spend substantial resources and distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities.
Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract our personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the value of our common stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent and other intellectual property litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace.
If our owned trademark is not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.
We regard our owned trademark “eFinity,” as having significant value and as an important factor in the success of our business. Our trademark may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared generic or determined to be infringing on or dilutive of other marks. Additionally, at times, competitors may adopt trademarks, trade names or service marks similar to the one we own, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trademark, trade name or service mark infringement claims brought against us. Over the long term, if we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademark, we may not be able to compete effectively and our business may be adversely affected. Our efforts to enforce or protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights related to our trademark may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Risks Related to Government and Regulation
Certain state and other regulations pertaining to the use of certain ingredients in growing media could adversely impact us by restricting our ability to sell such products.
One of our product lines is growing media products. This product line includes certain products, such as organic soils that contain ingredients that require the companies that provide us with these products to register the product with certain regulators. The use and disposal of these products in some jurisdictions are subject to regulation by various agencies. A decision by a regulatory agency to significantly restrict the use of such products that have traditionally been used in the cultivation of our products could have an adverse impact on those companies providing us with such regulated products, and as a result, limit our ability to sell these products.
Compliance with, or violation of, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including laws pertaining to the use of pesticides, which are commonly used in grow media products, could result in significant costs that adversely impact our reputation, businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
International, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental, health and safety matters affect us in several ways in light of the ingredients that are used in products included in our growing media product line. In the United States, products containing pesticides generally must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), and similar state agencies before they can be sold or applied. Pesticides are commonly used in grow media products. The failure by one of our partners to obtain or the cancellation of any such registration, or the withdrawal from the marketplace of such pesticides, could have an adverse effect on our businesses, the severity of which would depend on the products involved, whether other products could be substituted and whether our competitors were similarly affected. The pesticides we use are either granted a license by the EPA or exempt from such a license and may be evaluated by the EPA as part of its ongoing exposure risk assessment. The EPA may decide that a pesticide we distribute will be limited or will not be re-registered for use in the United States. We cannot predict the outcome or the severity of the effect on our business of any future evaluations, if any, conducted by the EPA.
In addition, the use of certain pesticide products is regulated by various international, federal, state, provincial and local environmental and public health agencies. Although we strive to comply with such laws and regulations and have processes in place designed to achieve compliance, we may be unable to prevent violations of these or other laws and regulations from occurring. Even if we are able to comply with all such laws and regulations and obtain all necessary registrations and licenses, the pesticides or other products we apply or use, or the manner in which we apply or use them, could be alleged to cause injury to the environment, to people or to animals, or such products could be banned in certain circumstances. The costs of compliance, noncompliance, investigation, remediation, combating reputational harm or defending civil or criminal proceedings, products liability, personal injury or other lawsuits could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Some foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, may not be subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time-to-time in countries in which we conduct our business. However, our employees or other agents may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
General Risk Factors
We may acquire other greenhouses or other indoor farming manufacturing operations, which may divert our management’s attention and result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may be unable to integrate acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.
We may evaluate and consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of greenhouses or other indoor farming manufacturing operations, and other assets in the future.
Any acquisition or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the business strategy, sales plans, technologies, products, distribution channels, personnel, or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, their facilities are not easily adapted to work with our technology, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management, customers’ experience with the acquired company prior to acquisition, or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources, and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.
Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, difficult, and expensive, and our ability to complete these transactions may often be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of these transactions, we may:
use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;
encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or integrating diverse facility operations or business cultures;
incur large charges or substantial liabilities;
incur additional debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;
divert our resources to understand and comply with new jurisdictions if such acquired company is in a new country; and/or; and
become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, or deferred compensation charges.
Our success depends on employing a skilled local labor force, and failure to attract and retain qualified employees could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our operations require significant labor, and even if we are able to identify, hire and train our labor force, there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain these employees. Any shortage of labor or lack of regular availability could restrict our ability to operate our facilities profitably, or at all.
In addition, our success and future growth depend largely upon the continued services of our executive officers as well as other key team members. These executives and key team members have been primarily responsible for determining the strategic direction of the business and executing our growth strategy and are integral to our brand, culture and reputation with suppliers and customers in the industry. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team or other key team members resulting from the hiring or departure of these personnel. The loss of one or more of executive officers or key team members, or the failure by the executive team and key team members to effectively work together and lead the company, could harm our business. Our earlier growth stage may result in less management depth with less established succession planning than may be found in later-stage companies.
Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time in the normal course of our business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operation are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of our resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Damage to our reputation or our brand could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We must grow the value of our brand to be successful. We intend to develop a reputation based on the high quality of our products, services and trained personnel, as well as on our particular culture and the experience of our customers with our recommended CEA products solutions. If we do not make investments in areas such as marketing and advertising, as well as personnel training, the value of our brand may not increase or may be diminished. Any incident, real or perceived, regardless of merit or outcome, that adversely affects our brand, such as, but not limited to, accidents from use of our products, or allegations or perceptions of non-compliance or failure to comply with ethical and operational standards, could significantly reduce the value of our brand, expose us to negative publicity, and damage our overall business and reputation.
Members of our Board will have other business interests and obligations to other entities.
None of our independent directors will be required to manage our business as their sole and exclusive function and they may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to us, provided that such activities do not compete with the business of our Company or otherwise breach their agreements with us. We are dependent on our directors and executive officers to successfully operate our Company, and their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.
Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.
From time to time, we provide forward looking estimates regarding its future performance that represent our management’s estimates as of a point in time. These forward-looking statements are based on projections prepared by our management. These projections are not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our independent registered public accountants nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines the projections and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance on our projections.
Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions and conditions, some of which will change. The principal reason that we provide forward-looking information is to provide a basis for our management to discuss its business outlook with stockholders. Forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of our forward-looking statements will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our forward-looking statements are only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from our forward-looking statements and the variations may be material. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged not to rely upon, or otherwise consider, our guidance in making investment decisions.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, it could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance to the performance of other public companies.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible for and intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of the shares of our common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of December 31 of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock in Lakeshore’s initial public offering of units, consummated on March 11, 2022. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as it is an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period and, therefore, we may not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Investors may find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions, which may result in a less active trading market for our securities.
Risks Related to and Ownership of our Common Stock
The Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult to effect a business combination.
We have issued Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. To the extent we issue shares of common stock to effect a future business combination, the potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares upon exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business. Such warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring a target business. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of a sale, of the shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. If and to the extent the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings.
The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are speculative in nature.
Except as otherwise set forth in the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing upon Warrant Stockholder Approval, holders of the Series A Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $0.1118 per share, subject to adjustment, from time to time, until the 5 year anniversary from the date of the Warrant Stockholder Approval, after which date any unexercised Series A Warrants will expire and have no further value, and holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, subject to adjustment, from time to time, until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised; and commencing upon Warrant Stockholder Approval, holders of Series B Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, subject to adjustment, from time to time, until the 2 year anniversary from the date of Warrant Stockholder Approval, after which date any unexercised Series B Warrants will expire and have no further value.
The Warrants may not be exercised until we receive the Warrant Stockholder Approval.
Under Nasdaq listing rules, the Warrants may not be exercised unless and until we obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval. While we intend to promptly seek stockholder approval, there is no guarantee that the Warrant Stockholder Approval will ever be obtained. If we are unable to obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval, the Warrants will have substantially less value. In addition, we will incur substantial cost, and management will devote substantial time and attention, in attempting to obtain the Warrant Stockholder Approval.
Since the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants are executory contracts, they may have no value in a bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.
In the event a bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is commenced by or against us, a bankruptcy court may hold that any unexercised Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants are executory contracts that are subject to rejection by us with the approval of the bankruptcy court. As a result, holders of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants may, even if we have sufficient funds, not be entitled to receive any consideration for their Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants or may receive an amount less than they would be entitled to if they had exercised their Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants prior to the commencement of any such bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding.
Stockholders may experience future dilution as a result of this and future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. Investors purchasing our shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing common stockholders, and the price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the current price per share.
Our stock price may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending on many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations due to factors related to our business;
success or failure of our business strategies;
competition and industry capacity;
changes in interest rates and other factors that affect earnings and cash flow;
our level of indebtedness, our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness and our ability to obtain financing as needed;
our ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;
our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
the failure of securities analysts to cover, or positively cover, our common stock;
changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;
investor perception of the Company and our industry;
overall market fluctuations unrelated to our operating performance;
results from any material litigation or government investigation;
changes in laws and regulations (including tax laws and regulations) affecting our business;
changes in capital gains taxes and taxes on dividends affecting stockholders; and
general economic conditions and other external factors.
Low trading volume for our common stock, which may occur if an active trading market does not develop, among other reasons, would amplify the effect of the above factors on stock price volatility.
Should the market price of our shares drop significantly, stockholders may institute securities class action lawsuits against us. A lawsuit against us could cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Several analysts may cover our stock. If one or more of those analysts downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
Our Stock is Trading on the OTC- Pink Market
On January 15, 2025, our common stock and our warrants started trading on the OTC under its existing symbol, “NMHI” and “NMHIW” respectively.
Since our common stock is trading on the OTC, it could negatively affect us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.
If there is no viable public market for our common stock, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above your purchase price.
Although our common stock is listed on OTC, an active trading market for our shares may not be. You may be unable to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in shares of our common stock is not active. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or products by using our shares of common stock as consideration.
We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert our management’s attention.
The market price of our securities may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns.
You should consult your own independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to the securities offered in connection with this offering.
Participation in this offering could result in various tax-related consequences for investors. All prospective purchasers of the resold securities are advised to consult their own independent tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the resold securities in their particular situations.
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THIS FILING, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.

Overview
We are a growing agriculture technology company providing products to indoor growers in a CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) setting in North America. Our main products are commercial grade LED lights and related equipment designed for indoor growers. For over 10 years, the Company has utilized manufacturing relationships in China to provide quality and cost-efficient products in this space. In the 4 th quarter 2024, we renamed a subsidiary to Hydroman Electric Inc. for the purpose of entering electric vehicle (“EV”) market as we aim to distribute EV medium sized trucks to customers in Latin America and also develop indoor growing systems within these EV trucks. In 2024, the Company also started investments in Future Tech Inc., a Bitcoin mining and data center business.
We focus on the greenhouse and cultivation industry and aim at providing integrated greenhouse solutions, including grow lights, dehumidifiers, coco and grow media for vertical farming and multiple growing system. These systems enable year-round cultivation of crops, avoids harsh environments with very cold or hot climate. Many states focused on farming are limited to grow crops are certain months such as Spring to Fall only, and or are too far from production states too have fresh produce year-round. There are cost advantages also as vertical farming systems produces a much higher yield per acre of land. In most cases, water consumption is much lower, up to 90%. Many indoor growers can locate closer to large population centers which can significantly reduce cost of trucking, and lead time whilst reducing carbon emissions as well.
We operate mainly through two subsidiaries in California, Visiontech and Hydroman. Visiontech is known for the brand “eFinity” and provides high-efficiency and high-quality grow lights, grow media, fixtures and other related equipment; Hydroman supplies commercial greenhouse developers and owners with professional lighting technology and equipment. On November 11, 2024, Hydroman, Inc. changed its name to Hydroman Electric Corporation and will focus on business of electric vehicles distribution.
In its first expansion plan, the Company has added additional products to our offering. These include organic and non-organic fertilizers, organic plant growth additives, and dehumidifiers. We have diverse suppliers including from countries such as India, Holland and Turkey. Additional equipment is being considered as well. These are value add components that will help growers increase yield, but more importantly reduce failures and dramatically improve growing environments such. The new products are a natural complement to its our base of LED grow lights.
The Company also seeks to enter the joint ventures in other industry verticals to utilize excess space available for vertical farming.
Trends and Expectations
The following factors have been important to our business, and we expect them to impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods:
Product and Brand Development
We plan to increase investments in product and brand development. We actively evaluate and pursue acquisitions of product brand names and improvements on existing products. We continue to work with our suppliers in improving lighting products to be both of the highest quality and simultaneously cost effective for the customer. The Company invests in trips abroad to source and partner with manufacturing companies. We expect to develop additional manufacturing relationships and suppliers in Europe in the near future.
The Company is also developing proprietary “all in one” automated and robotic indoor growing systems that are under design and testing phases.
The Company utilizes its vast network in the industry and recent publicity in listing on Nasdaq in acquiring leads for potential partnerships in sourcing, research and development of new product and business acquisitions.
Regulatory Environment
The importation of LED lighting and distribution of such equipment in the United States and Canada does not require strict government disclosures and technical inspections. The Company obtains local business permits to store in our main warehouses, obtain licenses to resell, and follows guidelines on packaging. Certain utility companies in the U.S. have programs that award rebates to heavy usage customers, some of which are in the indoor farming business. These customers are required to install LED lights with a minimum 50,000 hours life. There is also a performance requirement set by DesignLights Consortium, a non-profit energy improvement agency.
Sourcing
The Company has long-term relationships with suppliers in Asia. Our top three suppliers of LED equipment are American Agricultural Innovation Technology Inc., Solislike-Tech Co., Ltd., Dongguan ZSC Lighting Co., Ltd. Each supplier provides us net 30 to net 90-day terms. The Company has also been approached by established lighting companies based in Japan and Germany. On grow feed, fertilizers and nutrients, our potential suppliers are based in Europe and some in Asia. Our grow container product was jointly developed and manufactured by a company based in Shenzhen, China.
On April 24, 2023, we entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Sinoinnovo Technology (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (“Sinoinnovo”), a company incorporated under the laws of China, pursuant to which Nature’s Miracle will source from Sinoinnovo its grow light systems for distribution in the U.S. and Europe. Both companies will also cooperate jointly to set up advanced manufacturing capabilities in China and the U.S.
On October 28, 2025 we entered into a licensing agreement with Datavault AI (Nasdaq: DVLT), a leader in patented data tokenization and monetization. This agreement calls for Nature’s Miracle to license Datavault AI’s Carbon Credit Tokenization System.
Asset acquisition of Zak Properties, LLC
On September 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Big Lake Capital LLC (“Big Lake”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to purchase from Big Lake all of the membership interests of Zak Properties, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Zak Properties”), which in turn owns certain real property located in the State of Ohio, commonly known as 405 Madison Ave. with equity and debt financing. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Tie (James) Li, is the sole member of Zak Properties prior to the sale. As such we recorded the acquisition of the property at cost. Nature’s Miracle issued 5,000 Series B and 9,500 Series C Preferred Shares to Big Lake and also signed a new note of $3 million.
We acquired Zak Properties in order to strengthen our balance sheet, generate rental income to provide us a steadier stream of cashflow, and to have the ability to obtain real estate loans to augment our capital needs.

Revenue
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by 81.2% to $1,742,360 as compared to $9,261,583, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenue declined due to cash constraints that restricted inventory purchases; as we were mainly selling our inventory on hand. The Company is seeking additional financing in fourth quarter to replenish inventory, and management expects the revenue situation to improve once inventory levels are restored.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had 70 and 128 customers, respectively. Average revenue per customer for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $24,891 and $78,000, respectively. Our revenue from top 5 customers for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $981,036 compared to $4,735,824 for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 79.3%. The lower average sale and decreased revenue from top 5 customer are reflective the impact of limited inventory availability.
Costs of Revenue
Costs of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 81.8% to $2,193,398 as compared to $12,066,778 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenue, which was in turn primarily driven by lower sales volume of our products due to limited inventory availability. We also have written off $544,469 of inventory for the year ended December 31, 2025 as the existing inventory was obsolete.
Gross Loss
Gross loss was $451,038 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $2,805,195 for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The gross loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased to (25.9)% from (30.3)% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross loss was primarily due to less inventory write off in 2025 of approximately $0.5 million compared to approximately $2.3 million in 2024.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 11.2% to $6,701,283 as compared to $7,542,689 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to following reasons:
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 31.6% to $4,883,132 as compared to $7,134,120 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to decreased Company’s stock compensation expenses of $1,074,396 as a result of completion of vesting periods of certain employees; decrease in professional fees of $399,315, mainly related to lower spending on public relations and SEC filing activities; and a decrease in payroll expenses of $731,511 resulting from a reduced headcount.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 345.0% to $1,818,151 as compared to $408,569 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher estimated credit risk associated with outstanding receivables during the period and the full write-off of the balance due from Iluminar, a related party, as collection was determined to be doubtful.
Other Expenses
Other expenses primarily consist of net interest expense, other finance expense related to our loans and net rental income. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $4,832,733 as compared to other expense of $3,300,356 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the increase in loss on impairment of investment of 1,000,000 due to full write-off of cost method investment of Iluminar, a related party, as recoverability of the investment appears doubtful; the increase of rental expense of $711,665 due to maintenance and repairs; the increase in debt issuance cost of $690,412 due to costs incurred in connection with the issuance of new debt during the period, offset by the decrease in non-cash finance expense of $800,000; the decrease in gain on loan extinguishment of $75,600.
Interest expense for the year ended of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $3,375,272 and $2,301,600, respectively; increased as a result of multiple convertible notes and high interest loans in 2025. The convertible notes and convertible notes – related party borrowing increased was approximately $1,777,289 and $987,639, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the short-term loan balances were approximately $4,192,646 and $2,668,604, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 66.0% of the loans were from third-party lenders with interest rates ranging from 8.0% to 12.0%, while the remaining loans were receivables factoring loans with significantly higher interest rates ranging from 66.4% to 100.0%. In contrast, for the year ended December 31, 2025, 36.0% of the loans were from third-party lenders at 8.0% to 22.6%, with the remainder consisting of receivables factoring loans bearing interest rates between 84.0% and 97.0%. The increase in higher-rate factoring loans in the current year and the increase in overall loan balances contributed to the rise in interest expense.
Non-cash finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $200,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the expensing of 3,334 shares of common stock issued under a Letter Agreement dated November 15, 2023, in connection with the merger. These shares, valued at approximately $1.0 million, were issued to Tie (James) Li and Zhiyi Zhang for their guarantees related to the repayment of the Newtek Loan, which had a principal amount of $3,700,000. The value of the shares was expensed as non-cash finance expenses upon the completion of the merger in 2024.
Loss on impairment of investment for the year ended of December 31,2025 was $1000,000, due to full write-off of cost method investment in Iluminar and for the year ended December 31,2024 was nil.
Other expense for the year ended of December 31, 2025 was $353,484, primarily consisting of rental expense of approximately $250,000 from Zak Properties in 2025 compared with, other income for the year ended of December 31, 2024 was $9,661, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense was amounted to $1,700 and $5,100 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were 0.0% and 0.0%. The effective tax rate differs from the federal and state statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets from our operating losses.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $11,986,754 as compared to net loss of $13,653,340 for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $1,666,586. The decrease was primarily due to an decrease of gross loss and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
In assessing liquidity, we monitor and analyze cash on-hand and operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet working capital requirements and operating expense obligations. To date, we financed our operations primarily through debt financing from financial institution and related parties. As of December 31, 2025, we had $97,694 in cash which primarily consists of bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Our working capital deficit was $22,299,535 as of December 31, 2025.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, We obtained approximately $0.3 million in proceeds from convertible notes and promissory notes for liquidity. See Note 20 for further details.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred substantial losses as shown in the financial statement section. Our actual revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $1.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Such volume and relatively low gross profit margins are not enough to support high administrative costs relating to our going public and expenses as a public company. We have raised equity capital twice in 2024 but utilized most proceeds towards repayment of debt incurred in the going-public merger, higher corporate costs and paying interest and principal on short-term loans. Due to the negative cash flow, our financial position is under pressure, and may potentially continue to have, an ongoing need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. If we are unable to realize our assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve (12) month period, we may have to consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources:
financial support from our related parties and shareholders;
other available sources of financing from banks and other financial institutions;
equity financing through capital market
We have a $20 million equity financing program (“ELOC”) with GHS Investment and this was declared effective by SEC. The Company can draw on this facility for its working capital needs and others.
We have access to investors who are providing convertible note financing for public companies and we have been utilizing the convertible note for part of our financing needs.
Our shareholder also offers support for the Company. Big Lake Capital, LLC, a related party controlled by Tie Li (our Chairman and CEO) entered into a $2 million Convertible Promissory Note on April 11, 2025 with the initial tranche of $600,000. We have borrowed $813,600 and converted $652,800 for the year ended December 31, 2025 under this note, with $1,186,400 of credit still available.
We can make no assurances that required financings will be available for the amounts needed, or on terms commercially acceptable to us, if at all. If one or all of these events does not occur or subsequent capital raises are insufficient to bridge financial and liquidity shortfall, there would likely be a material adverse effect on us and would materially adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Non-cash transactions primarily consisted of asset acquisition via preferred stock issuance of approximately $9.4 million and asset acquisition via convertible note issuance of $3.0 million pursuant to the asset acquisition of Zak Properties, LLC, with preferred stock and a convertible note issued as consideration for the membership interests.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition and results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies, which we discuss further below. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We follow Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue Recognition and recognizes revenue from product sales revenues, net of promotional discounts and return allowances, when the following revenue recognition criteria are met: a contract has been identified, separate performance obligations are identified, the transaction price is determined, the transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon satisfying each performance obligation.
We are a growing agriculture technology company providing CEA hardware products to growers in the controlled environment agriculture industry setting in North America. Majority of our products were grow lights and related products for the indoor growing settings. Starting from first quarter of 2024, we also provide indoor grow containers to our customers.
Our contracts with customers where the amounts charged per product is fixed and determinable, the specific terms of the contracts were agreed on by us including payment terms which are typically 30 to 60 days for existing customers and prepaid for most new customers. In certain contracts involving sales to customers that entered into rebate programs who can get rebates with utility companies with utility companies for using LED lighting, payment term ranges from 60 to 120 days.
Our performance obligation is to deliver the products to customers. For indoor grow container products, we also involved in customization of the products to suit customer’s specific needs. The provision of customization and configuration to meet certain technical specification per US market and delivery of product is considered one performance obligation as the services provided are not distinct within the context of the contract whereas the customers can only obtain benefit when the services and products are provided together. At times, we may charge customers shipping and handling for delivery of products, control of goods does not transfer to the customer before shipment, therefore shipping is not a promised service to us and is not considered a separate performance obligation. Any fee charged for shipping would be included in the transaction price for the good.
Transaction prices are mostly fixed. In some contracts, when determining the transaction price, we adjust consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments provides us with a significant benefit of financing. We does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customers and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less. For customers that entered into rebate programs with utility companies, transaction price may depend on level of energy saving the products achieved. We estimated the amount of consideration using either the expected value of the most likely amount depending on which method we expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will receive with a constraint applied such that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable.
We transfer the risk of loss or damage upon shipment, therefore, revenue from product sales is recognized at a point in time when control of product transfer to customer and we have no further obligation to provide services related to such product evidenced by customer signing acceptances upon receipt of goods. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue by our best estimate of expected product returns, are estimated using historical experience.
We evaluate the criteria of ASC 606 — Revenue Recognition Principal-Agent Considerations in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs, or the net amount earned as commissions. We ship the products according to shipping terms on the purchase order or sales order. Once delivery is complete, we then send an invoice to the customer according to the quantity and price of shipment.
We evaluate the indicators of control in accordance with ASU 2016-08: 1) We are the most visible entity to customers and assumes fulfilment risk and risks related to the acceptability of products, including addressing customer inquiries directly and handling of product returns or refunds directly if any. For grow light products, we have our own brand for marketing. For indoor grow containers products, we are also involved in the design and technical specification of the products to meet requirement in the US market. 2) We assume inventory risk either through storing the products in our own warehouses; or for drop shipments directly from vendors, we take the title from vendors through inspection and acceptance and are responsible for product damage during shipment period prior to acceptance of our customers and are also responsible for product return if the customer is not satisfied with the products. 3) We determine the resale price of the products. 4) We are the party that direct the use of the inventory and can prevent the vendor from transferring the product to a customer or to redirect the products to a different customer, after evaluating the above scenario, we consider ourselves the principal of these arrangements and records revenue on a gross basis.
Payments received prior to the delivery of goods to customers or picked up by the customers are recorded as contract liabilities.
We periodically provide incentive offers to our customers to encourage purchases. Such offers include current discount offers, such as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers.
Current discount offers, when accepted by our customers, are treated as a reduction to the transaction price of the related transaction.
Sales discounts are recorded in the period in which the related sale is recognized. Sales return allowances are recorded upon recognizing the related sales.
Accounts receivable, net
Starting from January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”). The Company used a modified retrospective approach, and the adoption does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. During the ordinary course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from customers. An allowance for expected credit loss is recorded in the period in which loss is determined to be probable based on lifetime expected losses considering historical, current, and forecasted conditions. Amounts deem uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have ceased.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We value our inventory using the weighted average costing method. We include a part of cost of goods sold any freight incurred to ship the product from our vendors to warehouses. Outbound freight costs related to shipping costs to customers are considered period costs and reflected in cost of revenue. We regularly review inventory and consider forecasts of future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence.
If the estimated realizable value of the inventory is less than cost, we make provisions in order to reduce our carrying value to our estimated market value. We also review inventory for slow moving and obsolescence and records allowance for obsolescence.
Long-lived assets impairment
The Company reviews the impairment of its long-lived assets on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include but are not limited to, a significant deterioration of operating results, a change in the regulatory environment, changes in business plans, or adverse changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates the recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows is the rate commensurate with a similar investment of similar risk. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we determined there was no impairment as we estimated disposal value of our assets (mainly two buildings) exceed carrying value.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes of the financials, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its related disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and certain other segment items on an interim and annual basis if they are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt–Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversion of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024–04”), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06, which includes the Company. Adoption can be on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 effective January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis.
Except as mentioned above, we do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.
