FiEE (Nasdaq: FIEE) details Hong Kong risks and new AI ventures
FiEE, Inc. files an amended annual report to update its business description, risk factors, and Part III governance details after a major 2025 transformation. The company has pivoted from Motorola-branded networking hardware to a digital services model spanning AI-driven content and MCN services, custom software development, and blockchain-based digital authentication.
In 2025 FiEE generated $6.2 million in service fees and achieved profitability while completing two key deals: a $1.4 million purchase of Yixuntong assets and a $3.5 million acquisition of Japanese art-authentication firm HGK. Capital was raised through May 2025 private placements totaling $4.0 million and a January 2026 equity sale of about $2 million, alongside a $15 million equity purchase facility with Helena.
Operations now run mainly through a Hong Kong subsidiary, creating significant regulatory and geopolitical risk tied to PRC and U.S. laws, including national security and HFCA-related rules. FiEE discloses a 2025 material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and notes its Nasdaq listing remains under Panel monitoring until May 2026. As of March 16, 2026, FiEE had 7,934,122 common shares outstanding.

Insights
FiEE pivots to higher-margin digital services but carries Hong Kong and control risks.
FiEE has exited legacy hardware to focus on AI-enabled content, software development, and blockchain-based art authentication. 2025 service fees of $6.2 million with profitability signal early traction in the new model, supported by acquisitions of Yixuntong assets for $1.4 million and HGK for $3.5 million.
The balance sheet and growth plan rely on equity financing, including a May 2025 raise of $4.0 million, a January 2026 private placement of about $2 million, and a $15 million equity facility with Helena running to May 2028. This provides flexibility but introduces dilution risk as the company scales.
Risk disclosures are extensive. Revenue is now concentrated outside the U.S., primarily via a Hong Kong subsidiary exposed to evolving PRC-related national security, data, and U.S. HFCA rules. A 2025 material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and Nasdaq monitoring through May 2026 underscore execution and compliance dependencies. Future filings will be important for tracking control remediation and the sustainability of the new revenue mix.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
FiEE, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 20, 2026 (the “Original Form 10-K”).
This Amendment is being filed for the purpose of (i) restating Part I, Item 1 (Business) and Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) and (ii) including certain information required by Part III of Form 10-K. The Part III information was previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits such information to be incorporated by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement, provided such proxy statement is filed no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year.
Pursuant to SEC rules, we have included as exhibits certifications dated as of the date of this Amendment required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications omitted because no financial statements are included in this Amendment. Since no financial statements are included in this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are also amending Part IV, Item 15 to reflect the inclusion of such certifications. In addition, we have made certain revisions to the cover page, including deletion of the reference to our proxy statement.
Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not amend, update, or modify the disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K, or otherwise reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Form 10-K. Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Original Form 10-K.

PART I
ITEM 1 – BUSINESS
Overview
FiEE, Inc. (formerly, Minim, Inc.) was founded in 1977 as a networking company and historically delivered a comprehensive WiFi/Software as a Service (“SaaS”) platform to make connected homes safe and supportive for life and work. During this period, we held the exclusive global license to design, manufacture, and sell consumer networking products under the Motorola brand until 2023. Our legacy cable and WiFi products, including cable modems, routers, and mesh networking devices, were sold in leading retailers and e-commerce channels in the United States (“U.S.”)
Building upon our history in networking and software, we are currently transforming our operations as a digital service provider focused on integrating artificial intelligence (“AI”) and data analytics into content creation, digital authentication, and brand management. Our current business model leverages a cloud-based SaaS platform designed to support clients in developing, managing, and optimizing their digital presence across global platforms, including customized graphic and posts, short videos, and editorial calendars aligned with brand goals. Additionally, we offer comprehensive software development and maintenance services, delivering custom software solutions from system design and development to deployment and post-launch maintenance. In July 2025, we formally launched customized software services. This transition represents a strategic pivot toward high-growth, emerging technology sectors, including AI, blockchain, and the Multi-Channel Network (“MCN”) ecosystem.
On November 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Houren-Geiju Kabushikikaisha (“HGK”), a Japanese technology company specializing in digital authentication services for art collections. HGK leverages artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to provide artwork authentication, certification, and display services to individual and corporate clients. This acquisition introduces AI image recognition and blockchain authentication technologies to our service portfolio, further bolstering our technological capabilities and optimizing our comprehensive brand management solutions for customers.
Legal and Operational Risks of Doing Business in Hong Kong
We are a Delaware corporation that conducts all of our current revenue generating operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries, principally FiEE (HK) Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong in March 2025 (“FiEE (HK)”). Our investors hold shares of common stock in FiEE, Inc., the Delaware corporation, and not directly in our subsidiaries, including our Hong Kong subsidiary. This structure presents unique risks, as our investors will be dependent upon contributions from our subsidiaries to finance our cash flow needs, and our ability to obtain such contributions is significantly affected by regulations promulgated by Hong Kong and PRC authorities. Any change in the interpretation of existing rules and regulations or the promulgation of new rules and regulations, including those related to national security, anti-monopoly, cybersecurity, and foreign investment, may materially affect our operations or the value of our securities, including causing the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of the risks facing the Company associated with our structure, please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
We and FiEE (HK) are not currently required to obtain permission or approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Cyberspace Administration of China, or any other Chinese authorities to operate our business or to issue securities to foreign investors. However, in light of recent statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government, including those related to Hong Kong’s national security and evolving regulations governing data security, cybersecurity, and foreign investment, we may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government, including the risk that applicable laws or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approvals in the future. There is a risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time and, to the extent the PRC government exerts more oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas or foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers, any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. In addition, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related PCAOB rules may, under certain circumstances, result in trading prohibitions or delisting of our securities on Nasdaq. For a detailed description of the risks the Company faces associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”

Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries
We currently conduct our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries, including FiEE (HK) in Hong Kong and HGK in Japan. We may rely on dividends or other transfers of cash from our subsidiaries to fund our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. To date, our subsidiaries have not made any transfers, dividends, or distributions of cash or other assets to us, and we have not made any transfers, dividends, or distributions to our subsidiaries other than in connection with funding our operations.
We are permitted under Delaware law to provide funding to and receive funding from our subsidiaries through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds, subject to applicable government registration, approval, and filing requirements. FiEE (HK) is also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide and receive funding to and from us through dividend distributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. However, there is a possibility that the PRC could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving, or could restrict the deployment of such cash into our business or for the payment of dividends, which could materially adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements or make distributions to our shareholders. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of the Board after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects, and other factors the Board deems relevant. For further detail, please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
Services Overview
Our services primarily consist of three core areas: (1) digital content and MCN services, (2) software development services, and (3) digital authentication services.
1. Digital Content Services
We provide digital content management solutions and brand growth strategies primarily through three service verticals: (1) digital account management, (2) content operations and growth analytics, and (3) community engagement and creator partnerships. Since March 2025, we have delivered full-cycle services to brand clients, offering full-service account management, content production, and targeted promotion to grow followers across key platforms. These services are structured to support clients at varying stages of digital development, from initial account setup to multi-platform brand promotion.
Digital Account Management
We offer a tiered set of service plans that support clients in establishing and maintaining digital accounts on international platforms. Services range from basic setup and content scheduling to advanced account search engine optimization (“SEO”), visual branding, and content performance analysis. Our service plans include:
| ● | Global Premium Plan: Includes setup and management of up to three accounts, advanced account SEO strategies, brand visual design, production of over 120 posts and 24 short videos annually, monthly performance reporting, influencer or content creators marketing coordination, and unlimited strategic consultations. |

| ● | Starter Plan: Includes basic account setup, fundamental SEO support, 24 posts per quarter, and access to simplified performance analytics. |
2
Content Operations and Analytics
We support content creation through customized graphic, text, and video production tailored to the client’s brand objectives. We also provide strategic guidance on traffic growth, including trend-based optimization and third-party influencer or content creators engagement. Monthly reporting includes performance metrics, competitor benchmarking, and actionable recommendations for content refinement.
Community Engagement
We offer daily interaction support for managed accounts, including fan engagement, comment moderation, and community management. Crisis response strategies and tailored growth support are available based on client needs.
MCN Partnerships
We operate under a centralized content ownership and monetization model in its partnerships with influencers or content creators. Under its standard agreement:
| ● | We retain full operational control over content, monetization, and analytics. |
| ● | Influencers or creators are provided with content review windows via a proprietary software platform. |
| ● | All commercial revenue, including advertising, livestream sales, and brand collaborations, is retained by us, unless otherwise contractually negotiated. |
| ● | Intellectual property rights to produced content are held by us, with attribution to influencers or creators. |
| ● | Termination prior to the end of a contract term may require compensation related to audience development and data transfer. |
2. Software Development Services
We provide customized software development services, offering clients end-to-end software solutions from system design and development to deployment and post-launch maintenance. Our software development services cover the following scope:
| ● | Requirements Analysis and System Design: Collaborating closely with clients to understand their business needs and design corresponding software architecture. |
| ● | Customized Coding and Development: Performing software coding according to design specifications to ensure functionality meets client expectations. |
| ● | System Integration and Deployment: Integrating newly developed software with clients’ existing systems and completing deployment. |
| ● | Testing and Quality Assurance: Conducting comprehensive functional testing, performance testing, and security testing. |
| ● | Post-Launch Maintenance and Support: Providing ongoing software maintenance, updates, and technical support. |
3
3. Digital Authentication Services
We provide digital authentication services leveraging AI and blockchain technology for artworks. Our service offerings include:
| ● | Micro Identification: Providing unique microscopic feature identification and tracking for artworks. |
| ● | AI Image Recognition Authentication: Utilizing AI algorithms to authenticate artworks. |
| ● | Blockchain Certification: Recording authentication results on blockchain to provide tamper-proof certification. |
| ● | Digital Passport Generation: Creating unique digital identity passports for artworks, recording their provenance, authentication history, and ownership information. |
Intellectual Property
Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. As of December 31, 2025, through our acquisitions of HGK and certain assets of Suzhou Yixuntong Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yixuntong”), we have expanded our portfolio to include eight domain names, three patents, and 23 software copyrights, primarily focused on blockchain, content identification, and enterprise management technologies. In addition, we have four patent applications under temporary protection in Hong Kong, primarily focused on edge computing, ERP systems, and AI content tracing.
Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Our digital content and MCN services compete with global digital marketing agencies, social media management platforms, influencer or content creators marketing networks, and in-house marketing teams. Our software development services compete with multinational consulting firms, regional development agencies, and offshore engineering providers. Our digital authentication services compete with traditional art authentication firms, emerging blockchain-based certification providers, and technology-enabled provenance tracking platforms. Competition is based on factors, including technological innovation, service quality, pricing, brand recognition, platform relationships, scalability, data analytics capabilities, and the ability to deliver measurable results. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do.
Customers and Geographic Information
Our customers include those individuals or entities seeking to grow their online presence as influencers or content creators, software development services, or digital authentication services. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of our revenue was generated from customers located outside the U.S.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had one customer with an outstanding accounts receivable balance that accounted for approximately 75% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Most of this accounts receivable was acquired through the Company’s acquisition of its Japanese subsidiary, HGK, on November 30, 2025, and accounted for approximately 1% of the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. Other than this customer, the Company did not have sales or outstanding accounts receivable balances that accounted for 10% or greater individually of the Company’s total revenues and accounts receivable, respectively.
4
Government Regulation
Our business is subject to evolving laws and regulations in the U.S., Japan, and Hong Kong. These include data privacy laws (such as Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices, Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), and Hong Kong’s Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance), as well as emerging legal frameworks governing artificial intelligence and blockchain-based authentication services. Additionally, our MCN services are subject to the private rules and terms of service of third-party platforms. Changes in these laws or platform policies could significantly impact our operations.
Strategy
We position ourselves at the intersection of technology and creative production, offering infrastructure and strategic support to clients seeking to expand their visibility in digital markets. We leverage emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and predictive analytics to enhance content workflows and improve reach and engagement outcomes for our clients. By building long-term, meaningful relationships, we aim to help customers leverage our services to establish stronger connections in the global marketplace, driving revenue growth as our customers expand their usage and upgrade their service plans.
Our growth strategy is built upon the transition to a high-margin digital service model. While our digital content services require ongoing investment, they yield higher gross margins; meanwhile, our digital authentication services, leveraging AI and blockchain, present significant potential for high-margin scalability. As part of these strategic initiatives, we have successfully integrated blockchain technology into our digital authentication services, providing clients with tamper-proof certification and digital passport services. This advancement is aimed at enhancing the security, transparency, and efficiency of our global systems. Through the acquisition of HGK, we have introduced AI image recognition technology to our service portfolio, applying it to the digital authentication field to provide high-precision authenticity identification for artworks.
Looking forward, we will continue to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities in key sectors such as AI, hardware, and the Internet of Things (“IoT”), and gradually establish a global community of Key Opinion Leaders throughout the digital content lifecycle through the integration of our authentication technology.
Nasdaq Trading Status
Throughout 2024 and early 2025, we faced several Nasdaq compliance listing challenges regarding stockholders’ equity and corporate governance. Following an appeal of a delisting determination and a stay granted by the SEC in February 2025, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) reviewed our compliance.
On May 29, 2025, the Panel determined we had regained compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, including the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. Trading of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), resumed on Nasdaq on June 2, 2025, under the symbol “FIEE.”
We are currently subject to a Nasdaq “Panel Monitor” until May 2026. Additionally, we received a public reprimand regarding a “Change of Control” violation related to transactions in February 2025, which the Panel determined was inadvertent and not materially adverse to our stockholders.

Material Contracts
Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 18, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 18, 2025 SPA”) with David Lazar (“Lazar”), Cao Yu, Hu Bin, and Youxin Consulting Limited (together with Cao Yu and Hu Bin, the “Purchasers”), which was subsequently amended on May 9, 2025. Pursuant to the February 18, 2025 SPA and its amendment, Lazar, a former director and officer of the Company, sold to the Purchasers (i) 2,219,447 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Warrant”), and (iii) certain receivables owed by the Company to Lazar associated with the transaction (the “Lazar Receivables”). On April 10, 2025, Lazar transferred an additional 31,258 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Purchasers (together with the previously transferred shares and the Warrant, the “Securities”). The aggregate purchase price for the Securities and the Lazar Receivables was $500,000, of which $300,000 was directed by Lazar to be paid to the Company in exchange for a convertible note. The Purchasers also paid a $3.4 million earn-out payment to Lazar for his efforts related to the Company’s successful relisting on Nasdaq. The Lazar Receivables were forgiven for the benefit of the Company, and the Warrant was amended and restated to eliminate the beneficial ownership limitations previously contained therein.

On July 2, 2025, we issued a warrant to purchase 404,002 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to stockholder approval (the “July 2025 Warrant”), to Lazar. This warrant was issued as compensation for services provided by Lazar. The July 2025 Warrant was exercised on a cashless basis for 402,347 shares of Common Stock on November 12, 2025.
Lazar Convertible Note
We entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) effective February 18, 2025, with Lazar, a stockholder holding more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares and a former officer and director. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lazar a principal amount of $300,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of approximately 4.34%, with the full principal and interest balance due on or before December 31, 2025. Upon stockholders’ approval, the Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share. On October 27, 2025, following approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Convertible Note automatically converted into 1,235,814 shares of Common Stock pursuant to its terms.

Our human capital management objectives are focused on attracting, developing, and retaining talent capable of driving innovation and sustaining long-term growth.

| ITEM 1A | RISK FACTORS |
Risks Related to Our Company
Since completing our business transformation in 2025, our new business has generated revenue and achieved profitability, but still faces risks of sustained growth and market competition.
Prior to the cessation of our legacy business, our principal assets, product offerings and business primarily consisted of providing consumer networking and intelligent software services. After the closing of the transactions under the February 18, 2025 SPA, we transitioned to becoming a digital service provider, and our current business operations focus on integrating AI and data analytics into content creation and brand management. In 2025, we completed our strategic transformation from a legacy networking hardware business to a digital service provider. As of the end of 2025, we completely ceased our legacy operations, with our current business focused on three core areas: digital content services, software development services, and digital authentication services. In 2025, we successfully launched our new business, generating service fees of $6.2 million, and achieving profitability. However, our new business is still in the early stages of development and faces risks such as intensified market competition, rising customer acquisition costs, and accelerated technological iteration. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current growth rate and profitability or that our current business model will prove to be sustainable over the long term.
Our limited operating history in our new lines of business makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects and increases the risk of investment.
We have a limited operating history in our current digital services business. Although we generated revenue and achieved profitability in 2025, our historical results in our legacy business are not indicative of our future performance. Investors should consider our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, including risks related to customer adoption, pricing models, technological change, and competitive dynamics. If our assumptions regarding market demand or our growth strategy prove incorrect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We may fail to execute our business plan successfully.
Our stockholders may lose their investment if we fail to execute our business plan successfully. Our prospects must be considered in light of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, changes in client preferences, cybersecurity risks, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to execute our business plan successfully, our stockholders may lose their entire investment.
The Company may suffer from a lack of availability of additional funds.
We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations and to continue to expand our operations. To that end, we may be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. If we are successful, whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable, there is a potential that we will fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in severe liability for our Company. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund liabilities; or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute our existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations altogether. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.
In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our stockholders or that result in our stockholders losing all of their investment in us.

Our acquisition strategy creates risks for our business.
We expect that we will pursue acquisitions of other businesses, assets or technologies to grow our business. We may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates or we may be unable to reach acceptable terms for future acquisitions. We might not be able to raise enough cash to compete for attractive acquisition targets. If we are unable to complete acquisitions in the future, our ability to grow our business will be impaired.
We may pay for acquisitions by issuing additional shares of our Common Stock, which would dilute our stockholders, or by issuing debt, which could include terms that restrict our ability to operate our business or pursue other opportunities and subject us to meaningful debt service obligations. We may also use significant amounts of cash to complete acquisitions. To the extent that we complete acquisitions in the future, we likely will incur future depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the acquired assets. We may also record significant amounts of intangible assets, including goodwill, which could become impaired in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous other risks, including:
| ● | difficulties integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of the acquired companies; | |
| ● | challenges maintaining our internal standards, controls, procedures and policies; | |
| ● | diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; | |
| ● | over-valuation of acquired companies or assets; |
| ● | litigation resulting from activities of the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, customers, former stockholders and other third parties; | |
| ● | insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with the acquisitions and unanticipated liabilities of the acquired companies; | |
| ● | insufficient indemnification or security from the selling parties for legal liabilities that we may assume in connection with our acquisitions; | |
| ● | entering markets in which we have no prior experience and may not succeed; | |
| ● | risks associated with foreign acquisitions, such as communication and integration problems resulting from geographic dispersion and language and cultural differences, compliance with foreign laws and regulations and general economic or political conditions in other countries or regions; | |
| ● | potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and | |
| ● | impairment of relationships with clients and employees of the acquired companies or our clients and employees as a result of the integration of acquired operations and new management personnel. |
Our reliance on AI and data analytics exposes us to unique operational and ethical risks.
Our current business model focuses on integrating AI into content creation and brand management. AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving. We may face risks related to biased algorithms, “hallucinations” in AI-generated content, or the inadvertent use of intellectual property in our training models. If our AI solutions produce inaccurate, offensive, or infringing content, our reputation could be severely damaged, and we could be subject to legal liability. Furthermore, as AI regulations emerge globally, we may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with new laws governing AI transparency and accountability.
9
Cybersecurity incidents or data breaches could disrupt our operations and harm our reputation.
Our business involves the collection, processing, storage, and transmission of proprietary and potentially sensitive data. We rely on internal systems and third-party service providers, including cloud-based infrastructure, to support our operations. Cybersecurity incidents, including hacking, phishing, ransomware attacks, or insider misconduct, could result in unauthorized access to, disclosure of, or loss of data. Any such incident could result in regulatory investigations, litigation, indemnity obligations, reputational damage, and significant remediation costs. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny regarding data privacy and cybersecurity may result in additional compliance costs. A significant cybersecurity breach could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may be unable to scale our operations successfully.
Our growth strategy will place significant demands on our management and financial, administrative and other resources. Operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If we are unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of our operations, then the quality of our services, our ability to retain key personnel, and our business could be harmed.
Our success depends on the continued efforts of our senior management and key technical personnel.
Our success depends on the continued service of our senior management, as well as the continued contributions of key technical personnel supporting our MCN operations, AI-driven content creation, and blockchain-based digital authentication. As we operate at the forefront of next-generation digital services, the demand for qualified professionals with specialized skills in these emerging fields is exceptionally high, and competition for such talent is intense. We invest significant resources in recruiting and training our employees, and the loss of one or more of our executive officers or key technical personnel could delay the development of new offerings, impair our ability to respond to technological advancements, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to stringent and evolving laws and regulations regarding data privacy and cybersecurity.
As a digital service provider focusing on data analytics and digital authentication, we collect, process, and store significant amounts of sensitive data. We are subject to various federal, state, and international laws, such as the GDPR and CCPA, regarding data privacy. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with these laws, or any security breach resulting in the unauthorized release of data, could result in significant fines, litigation, and a loss of customer trust, which would materially and adversely affect our business.
We may suffer from a lack of liquidity.
By incurring indebtedness, we subject ourselves to increased debt service obligations which could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. This would impair our ability to hire the necessary senior and support personnel required for our business, as well as carry out our acquisition strategy and other business objectives.
The requirements of remaining a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business.
We are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements is time-consuming and expensive and could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
10
We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require an annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources to compliance regarding Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or how costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described elsewhere in the Original Form 10-K. Although we are implementing a remediation plan, there can be no assurance that our remediation efforts will be successful. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which resulted in our disclosure controls and procedures being ineffective as of December 31, 2025. If we fail to fully remediate this material weakness, our financial reporting could be adversely affected and investor confidence could decline.
In the course of preparing our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to insufficient accounting staffing during the Company’s restructuring and new business launch. During the first half of 2025, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of knowledge and experience to fulfill internal control and financial reporting responsibilities. This resulted in reduced review capabilities and prior-period errors, which have since been corrected.
As a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. Although we have taken steps to remediate the material weakness, including hiring additional qualified accounting personnel with SEC expertise, enhancing review and approval procedures, providing additional training, and implementing ongoing monitoring processes, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are effective.
If our remediation efforts are not successful, or if additional material weaknesses are identified in the future, we may be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This could result in additional errors in our financial statements, future restatements, delays in required filings, regulatory scrutiny, loss of investor confidence, and a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.
Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, and if we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures in the future, investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information.
As disclosed in the Original Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above. Although we are actively implementing remediation measures, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or that additional deficiencies will not be identified.
Effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within required time periods. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls could result in late filings, inaccurate reporting, regulatory action, or harm to our reputation, which could materially adversely affect our business and the market price of our Common Stock.
11
Changes in U.S. laws and regulations related to companies with connections to Hong Kong or the PRC could limit our ability to maintain our Nasdaq listing or access U.S. capital markets.
U.S. regulatory authorities, including the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), have adopted rules that increase disclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny of U.S.-listed companies with operations or affiliations in Hong Kong or the PRC. Although we are currently compliant with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements and U.S. securities laws, future legislative or regulatory actions—such as expanded audit inspection requirements, data security reviews, or restrictions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act—could impose additional compliance burdens or create uncertainty regarding our continued eligibility to list our securities on a U.S. exchange.
If U.S. regulators are unable to inspect or investigate our auditors or operations to their satisfaction, or if future rules impose additional restrictions on companies with international ties, our Common Stock could be subject to trading prohibitions or delisting, which would materially and adversely affect investors.
Economic instability, inflation, global conflicts, or public health crises could adversely affect our business.
Global economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, armed conflicts, trade disputes, and public health emergencies could negatively impact customer spending, capital markets activity, and overall business confidence. These macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions may reduce demand for our services, increase our operating costs, disrupt supply chains or third-party service providers, and limit our access to financing. Any prolonged downturn in global or regional economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be adversely affected by changing economic conditions, including interest rates and inflation, and other factors beyond our control.
In recent years, the global economic market has experienced cyclical or episodic downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain and volatile, as a result of current geopolitical conditions including conflicts in the Middle East, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War and geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, instability in the U.S. and global banking systems, a high inflation environment, the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers and the risk of retaliatory actions or prolonged trade conflict, the downgrading of the U.S.’s credit rating and the possibility of an economic slowdown. A decline in economic conditions, such as a recession, an economic downturn, and/or inflationary conditions in our markets, can adversely and negatively impact our customers and potential customers in a manner that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our operations could be adversely impacted by civil unrest, acts of war or terrorism, other criminal activities, infectious disease outbreaks or other unexpected events, including natural disasters, outside our control.
Our operations are always subject to adverse impacts resulting from civil unrest, acts of war, hostilities or acts of terrorism or other criminal activities. Such events may result in a temporary decline in the number of customers who seek our services or in our employees’ ability to perform their job duties. In addition, such events may temporarily interrupt our ability to provide our services. The occurrence of any such event and/or a disruption of our operations as a result may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong
Political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong and economic instability in Hong Kong may adversely impact our results of operations. Changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact on the business we conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of that business.
Our revenue generating operational activities are primarily conducted in Hong Kong. Accordingly, political and economic conditions in Hong Kong and the surrounding region may directly affect our business. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law — the constitutional document for Hong Kong — which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative, and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication, under the principle of “one country, two systems.” However, there is no assurance that the economic, political, and legal environment in Hong Kong will not change in the future. Because all of our revenue generating operations are primarily based in Hong Kong, any change in such political arrangements may pose an immediate threat to the stability of Hong Kong’s economy, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial position.
Our revenue is susceptible to ongoing incidents or factors that affect the stability of social, economic, and political conditions in Hong Kong. Any severe adverse events may adversely affect the business operations of our Hong Kong operating subsidiary. Such adverse events may include changes in economic conditions and the regulatory environment, social and/or political conditions, civil disturbance or disobedience, and significant natural disasters. Given the relatively small geographic size of Hong Kong, any such incidents may have a widespread effect on the operations of our Hong Kong operating subsidiary, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions with respect to China-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.
In addition, economic, political, and legal developments and social conditions in the PRC may significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in mainland China and Hong Kong. While we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and that business development in the PRC will continue to follow market forces, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Our business operations and prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in PRC government policy, including:
| ● | changes in laws, regulations, or their interpretation; |
| ● | confiscatory taxation; |
| ● | restrictions on currency conversion, imports, or sources of supply, or on our ability to continue as a for-profit enterprise; |
| ● | expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises; and |
| ● | the allocation of resources. |

The enactment of the Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”) could adversely impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiary.
On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress passed the Hong Kong National Security Law. Hong Kong’s Chief Executive promulgated it locally on the same day. The Hong Kong National Security Law defines the duties and government bodies of Hong Kong for safeguarding national security and establishes four categories of offenses — secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security — along with their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (the “HKAA”) into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under its authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect such foreign financial institutions, as well as any third parties or customers dealing with a targeted institution. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the HKAA on Hong Kong and on companies located in Hong Kong. If our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is determined by competent authorities to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA, our business operations, financial position, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The enactment of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance in Hong Kong could further impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiary.
On March 23, 2024, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (the “Article 23 Ordinance”), which came into force on March 23, 2024. The Article 23 Ordinance was enacted pursuant to Article 23 of the Basic Law, which obligated Hong Kong to enact legislation on its own to prohibit acts of treason, secession, sedition, subversion, and theft of state secrets. The Article 23 Ordinance significantly expands the scope of national security-related offenses in Hong Kong beyond those established by the Hong Kong National Security Law of 2020. It creates a broad range of new offenses, including: (i) treason; (ii) insurrection; (iii) sabotage of public infrastructure; (iv) external interference in Hong Kong’s affairs; (v) theft, unlawful disclosure, or possession of state secrets; and (vi) espionage. The Article 23 Ordinance provides for substantial penalties, including imprisonment for up to life for certain offenses.
Certain provisions of the Article 23 Ordinance are drafted broadly and their scope of application in practice remains subject to uncertainty, as the courts of Hong Kong have not yet fully interpreted the new offenses. In particular, the provisions relating to “external interference” and “state secrets” may have broad application and could affect the manner in which our Hong Kong operating subsidiary engages with counterparties, regulators, or service providers outside of Hong Kong or mainland China.
Furthermore, the enactment of the Article 23 Ordinance has attracted international attention and concern, including from the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. The international response to the Article 23 Ordinance could further affect the perception of Hong Kong as an international financial and business center and could contribute to additional U.S. or international regulatory actions targeting Hong Kong-based entities. If our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is determined to be in violation of the Article 23 Ordinance by competent authorities, or if future interpretations of the ordinance are applied broadly to our business activities, our business operations, financial position, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We cannot predict with certainty how the Article 23 Ordinance will be interpreted and enforced over time, or whether its scope will be extended in ways that may affect our operations.
14
Our Hong Kong operating subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business operations, and pay dividends to holders of our Common Stock. Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains realized on the sale of shares of our Common Stock by our foreign investors may become subject to PRC taxation.
FiEE, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with its operating subsidiary located in Hong Kong. However, most of our cash is maintained in U.S. dollars. We conduct no other business and, as a result, depend entirely upon our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s earnings and cash flow. If we decide in the future to pay dividends, our ability, as a holding company, to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our Hong Kong operating subsidiary. There are currently no restrictions on the transfer of funds between FiEE, Inc. and our Hong Kong operating subsidiary, and no limitations on the ability of our Hong Kong operating subsidiary to issue dividends or other distributions to its overseas stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that PRC government oversight will not be extended to companies operating in Hong Kong, such as our Hong Kong operating subsidiary. There is a possibility that the PRC government could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or restrict the deployment of such cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt, or make dividend or other distributions to our stockholders, and could result in a material adverse change to our business operations, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, and could cause the value of our Common Stock to significantly decline or become worthless.
The market price of our securities could be adversely affected by heightened tensions between the United States and China.
U.S.-China relations have deteriorated significantly in recent years and continue to evolve rapidly, creating substantial uncertainty for companies with operations or connections to China and Hong Kong. Since 2020, the United States government has enacted a series of laws, executive orders, and regulations targeting Chinese entities and individuals. On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress issued the Hong Kong National Security Law, and on March 23, 2024, Hong Kong enacted the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (the “Article 23 Ordinance”). The enactment of each of these laws has been met with significant concern by the U.S. government and has resulted in additional U.S. regulatory action directed at Hong Kong.
On July 14, 2020, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (the “HKAA”) into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The U.S. government has exercised its HKAA authority on multiple occasions, sanctioning individuals associated with the Hong Kong government and legislature.
Beyond Hong Kong-specific legislation, U.S.-China relations have been further strained by a broad range of additional developments, including: (i) the expansion of the U.S. Entity List under the Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”) to include numerous Chinese companies and affiliates, restricting U.S. companies from exporting, re-exporting, or transferring certain items to listed entities; (ii) the enactment of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act; (iii) significant escalation of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, including tariff measures imposed or expanded in 2024 and 2025; (iv) U.S. restrictions on investment in certain Chinese technology sectors pursuant to executive orders issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”); and (v) ongoing Congressional and executive branch scrutiny of Chinese-linked entities operating in U.S. capital markets. The current U.S. administration has signaled a continued focus on restricting Chinese access to U.S. technology, capital markets, and financial infrastructure.
These measures have created increasing uncertainty for companies operating in or connected to Hong Kong and China, including issuers listed on U.S. stock exchanges. We cannot predict whether the U.S. government will take additional actions with respect to China or Hong Kong, or whether additional sanctions, export controls, tariff measures, or other restrictions will be imposed that directly or indirectly affect our Hong Kong operating subsidiary, our ability to access U.S. capital markets, or the trading price of our securities. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of Sino-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our securities could be adversely affected.
15
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and/or the value of our Common Stock or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, may be materially and adversely affected to the extent the laws and regulations of mainland China become applicable to a company such as ours.
We currently have no subsidiaries or operations in mainland China. However, as we operate in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, there is no guarantee that if certain existing or future laws of mainland China become applicable to a company such as ours, it will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and/or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
Except for the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. National laws that may be listed in Annex III are currently limited under the Basic Law to those falling within the scope of defense and foreign affairs, as well as other matters outside the limits of Hong Kong’s autonomy. National laws and regulations relating to data protection, cybersecurity, and anti-monopoly matters have not been listed in Annex III and do not apply directly to Hong Kong.
The laws and regulations of the PRC are evolving, and their enactment, interpretation, and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any mainland China laws and regulations become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the PRC legal system, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes in rules and regulations with little or no advance notice.
We may also become subject to the laws and regulations of mainland China to the extent we commence business and customer-facing operations in mainland China as a result of any future acquisition, expansion, or organic growth.
The HFCA Act and related regulations continue to evolve. Further implementation of, interpretation of, or amendments to the HFCA Act or related regulations, or a PCAOB determination of insufficient access to inspect our auditor, could pose regulatory risks to us and impose restrictions on our operations.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) was signed into law. The HFCA Act has since been subject to amendment by the U.S. Congress and to interpretations and rulemaking by the SEC. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), which proposed to reduce the period of time for foreign companies to comply with PCAOB audit requirements from three to two consecutive years, thereby reducing the time before the securities of such foreign companies could be prohibited from trading or delisted.
Our auditor, UHY LLP, a U.S.-based independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in the Original Form 10-K, is registered with the PCAOB and subject to regular PCAOB inspection to assess its compliance with applicable professional standards. Our auditor’s most recent PCAOB inspection was conducted in 2025. As of the date of this registration statement, our auditor is not among the firms listed on the PCAOB Determination List issued in December 2021.
On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced and executed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”) with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (together, the “PRC Authorities”). The Protocol provides the PCAOB with: (1) sole discretion to select the firms, audit engagements, and potential violations it inspects and investigates, without involvement of Chinese authorities; (2) procedures for PCAOB inspectors and investigators to review complete audit work papers with all information included, and for the PCAOB to retain information as needed; and (3) direct access to interview and take testimony from all personnel associated with the audits it inspects or investigates.
16
On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced its determination in the 2022 HFCA Act Determination Report (the “2022 Report”) that it had secured complete access to inspect and investigate audit firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong during 2022, and the PCAOB Board voted to vacate its prior determinations to the contrary. According to the 2022 Report, this determination was reached after the PCAOB had thoroughly tested compliance with every aspect of the Protocol necessary to establish complete access, including through on-site inspections and investigations conducted in a manner fully consistent with the PCAOB’s methodology and approach in the United States and globally. The PRC Authorities fully assisted and cooperated with the PCAOB in carrying out the inspections and investigations pursuant to the Protocol, and have agreed to continue assisting the PCAOB’s investigations and inspections in the future. The PCAOB may reassess its determinations and issue new determinations consistent with the HFCA Act at any time.
On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 was signed into law, which, among other things, amended the HFCA Act to reduce the number of consecutive years an issuer may be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer before the SEC must impose an initial trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two.
Further developments related to the HFCA Act could create additional uncertainties for our offering. We cannot assure you what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB, or the stock exchanges will take to address these issues, or what impact such actions will have on companies with significant operations in the PRC that have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange. Furthermore, any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create uncertainty for investors, adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock, and result in the delisting of our securities if we and our auditor are unable to meet PCAOB inspection requirements. Such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock and would have a negative impact on the price of our Common Stock.
Our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is subject to Hong Kong’s data privacy laws, and any failure to comply with applicable requirements could adversely affect our business.
Our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is subject to the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 590) (the “PDPO”), which is administered by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the “PCPD”). The PDPO regulates the collection, holding, processing, and use of personal data in Hong Kong through six Data Protection Principles governing data purpose limitation, data accuracy, data retention, data security, openness, and individual access rights. The PDPO was amended in 2021 to introduce criminal liability for doxxing-related offenses, providing the PCPD with investigation and enforcement powers in relation to doxxing conduct, including powers of arrest and search.
In addition to the PDPO, our Hong Kong operating subsidiary must navigate the evolving interplay between Hong Kong’s data privacy regime and the PRC’s data protection and cybersecurity framework, including the PRC Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”) and the Cybersecurity Law, to the extent any personal data processed by our subsidiary may be subject to those regimes. While national PRC data laws do not directly apply in Hong Kong pursuant to the Basic Law, the PRC government has indicated an intent to extend data governance oversight, and there is ongoing uncertainty as to the extent to which PRC data regulations may affect Hong Kong-based operators.
Any failure by our Hong Kong operating subsidiary to comply with the PDPO, including any data breach, unauthorized disclosure of personal data, or failure to comply with a data access or correction request, could expose us to regulatory investigation, enforcement action by the PCPD, civil liability, and reputational harm. We cannot assure you that our current data protection practices are or will remain fully compliant with all applicable requirements under the PDPO or any future amendments thereto.
17
It may be difficult for stockholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders.
As of December 31, 2025, our assets were held across multiple entities: approximately 36% in our U.S. parent company, approximately 41% in our Hong Kong subsidiary, and approximately 23% in our Japan subsidiary. Moreover, some of our current directors and executive officers are Chinese nationals or domiciled in mainland China. All or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process within the United States upon our subsidiaries or upon such individuals. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong or mainland China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. It is also unclear whether extradition treaties currently in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties under U.S. federal securities laws against us or our officers and directors.
In addition, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are governed under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law, based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment was rendered or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other written arrangements with the United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Furthermore, pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they determine that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
We have previously failed to comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, and as a result, our Common Stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq. Although we have resolved these issues and resumed trading, we may face delisting risks in the future, which has had and will continue to have a material effect on us and our stockholders.
We previously faced Nasdaq delisting risk but have resolved all deficiencies and resumed trading. From June 2024 to May 2025, we faced the risk of delisting from Nasdaq. In April 2025, we appointed independent directors and established board committees, resolving governance deficiencies. On May 29, 2025, the Panel determined that the Company is in compliance with listing rules, and our Common Stock resumed trading on Nasdaq on June 2, 2025, under the symbol “FIEE.” As of December 31, 2025, we have satisfied all applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
However, a Nasdaq “Panel Monitor” has been implemented under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A) for a period of one year from May 29, 2025, which will expire on May 29, 2026. During this period, if the Company becomes deficient with respect to any Nasdaq continued listing requirement, it will not have the opportunity to submit a compliance plan and may face delisting proceedings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continuously satisfy all Nasdaq listing requirements in the future. If our Common Stock were to be delisted, the liquidity and market price of our securities could be materially adversely affected, and investors may find it more difficult to buy or sell our Common Stock.
A large portion of our Common Stock is controlled by a small number of stockholders.
A large portion of our Common Stock is held by a small number of stockholders, including shares held by Youxin Consulting Limited, a Hong Kong company wholly controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Li Wai Chung, and shares held by our Chief Financial Officer, Cao Yu, Hu Bin, one of the three purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, and Elements Corporate Services Limited. As a result, these stockholders are able to influence the outcome of stockholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions including business combinations.
Furthermore, any additional equity financing or purchases of additional shares of our Common Stock from these stockholders may further reduce the public float and liquidity of our Common Stock which can in turn affect the market price of our Common Stock.
The interests of our large stockholders may differ from or conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. In addition, our large stockholders are not subject to any contractual restrictions on their ability to acquire additional shares of our Common Stock. This concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our Common Stock to the extent that investors perceive disadvantages in significant ownership of or control over the affairs of the Company.
The sale of the additional shares of Common Stock could cause dilution as well as the value of our Common Stock to decline.
The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish. Further, if we do sell or issue more Common Stock, any investors’ investment in us will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our c Common Stock could seriously decline in value.
19
Our Common Stock price may decrease due to factors beyond our control.
The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for early-stage companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our stock if a trading market for our stock ever develops. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of their stock in the public market, the price of our stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate.
The market price of our stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to, but not limited, to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control:
| ● | variations in our quarterly operating results, |
| ● | changes in general economic conditions, | |
| ● | changes in market valuations of similar companies, | |
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital commitments; and | |
| ● | poor reviews from equity research analysts. |
Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price or value of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.
Our Common Stock is subject to the application of the “penny stock” rules which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and increase transaction costs to sell those shares.
The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
| ● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and | |
| ● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
| ● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and | |
| ● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
20
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
| ● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and | |
| ● | states that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
The market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your Common Stock at or above your purchase price, or at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of Common Stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Because we will likely issue additional shares of our Common Stock, investment in the Company could be subject to substantial dilution.
Investors’ interests in the Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. We are authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our Common Stock. If we sell or issue more Common Stock, any investors’ investment in the Company will be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in the Company’s Common Stock could seriously decline in value.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted FINRA Rule 2111 that requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
21
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board.
If we are unable to comply with the financial reporting requirements mandated by the SEC’s regulations, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the price of our Common Stock, if a market ever does develop for it, could decline.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could be impaired. If we do not maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy of our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act. Additionally, our ability to obtain additional financing could be impaired and a lack of investor confidence in the reliability and accuracy of our public reporting could cause our stock price to decline.
We are a “smaller reporting company” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
We cannot predict whether investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile or decline.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders were complied with for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, except that David Lazar, our former director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, was late in filing one required report on Form 4 with respect to three transactions, due to an administrative error, and Chan Oi Fat was late in filing one required report on Form 3.

Board Leadership Structure
The Company’s governance framework provides the Board with the authority and flexibility necessary to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Board. In making determinations about the leadership structure, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Hongya Wen, an independent director, currently serves as the Chairperson of the Board. Li Wai Chung currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The Board has carefully considered its leadership structure and believes at this time that the Company and its stockholders are best served by having the offices of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer held by different individuals based on our business and strategy. This structure allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the Company’s day-to-day operations and strategic vision, while allowing the Chairperson to lead the Board. The Board has not designated a lead independent director. The Board retains the authority to modify the foregoing leadership structure.
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board is ultimately responsible for risk management oversight. This oversight is primarily accomplished through the Board’s committees and management’s reporting processes, including receiving regular reports from members of management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial and strategic risks.
27
The Board’s standing committees support the Board by addressing various risks within their respective areas of responsibility. The Audit Committee assists the Board in discussing with management, internal auditors and the independent auditor of guidelines and policies governing the process by which senior management of the Company and the relevant departments of the Company, including the internal auditing department, assessing and managing the Company’s exposure to risk, as well as the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee assesses risks arising from our compensation policies and practices. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee advises the Board periodically with regard to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as the Company’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and make recommendations to the Board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken. Each of the committees reports to the Board at regularly during which risks are discussed and assessed.
The Board believes that its current leadership structure supports the risk oversight function of the Board. Having the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board filled by separate individuals allows the Chief Executive Officer to lead management in its supervision of the Company’s day-to-day business operations, including the identification, assessment and mitigation of material risks, and allows the Chairperson of the Board to lead the Board in its oversight of the Company’s risk assessment and risk management activities.
Director Nomination Process
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to our Board regarding nominations of director candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies new director candidates through a variety of sources. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner it considers other candidates, but it has no obligation to recommend such candidates. A stockholder that wants to recommend a candidate for election to the Board should mail a recommendation to Flat A1, 29/F, Block A, TML Tower, 3 Hoi Shing Road, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. Such recommendation should describe the candidate’s qualifications and other relevant biographical information and provide confirmation of the candidate’s consent to serve as director.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determine the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience for the Board as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account factors such as the individual’s general understanding of disciplines relevant to the success of a publicly traded company; understanding of FiEE’s business; education and professional background, including current employment and other board memberships; reputation for integrity; and any other factors they consider to be relevant. Additionally, in determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes the value of nominating individuals who will bring a variety of diverse opinions, perspectives, skills, experiences, backgrounds and orientations to the Board’s discussions and decision-making processes. The Board will endeavor to reflect the diversity of FiEE’s stockholders, employees, customers and the communities we serve. To that end, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee strives for diversity across a variety of categories, including experience, skills, accomplishments, personal qualities and other traits that it believes would contribute to our Board.
Insider Trading Policy
We have an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and employees, together with their immediate family members and other persons living in their households. We believe our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable Nasdaq standards. In addition, it is the policy of the Company to comply with applicable U.S. securities laws, including laws, rules and regulations related to trading in our securities. A copy of our insider trading policy was filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Clawback Policy
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules of Nasdaq and the SEC, we maintain an Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Clawback Policy”), which requires that certain incentive compensation paid to any current or former executive officer, including our named executive officers, will be subject to recoupment if (a) the incentive compensation was calculated based on financial statements that were required to be restated due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, without regard to any fault or misconduct, and (b) that noncompliance resulted in overpayment of the incentive compensation within the three fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which the restatement was required. Incentive compensation subject to the Clawback Policy consists of compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure (as defined in the rules implementing such requirement), including stock price and total shareholder return.
Practices with Regard to Timing of Equity Awards
Our Board and Compensation Committee do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity grants. We do not have a policy or practice to time stock options based on the release of material nonpublic information. During 2025, the Company did not grant equity awards to its named executive officers during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of its periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.

| Item 12 | Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters |
The following table sets forth certain information, as of April 24, 2026, that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock by our principal stockholders is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. To calculate a stockholder’s percentage of beneficial ownership of Common Stock, we must include in the numerator and denominator those shares of Common Stock underlying convertible securities that such stockholder is considered to beneficially own. Shares of Common Stock underlying convertible securities held by other stockholders, however, are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership of each of the stockholders may be different.
Under the rules of the SEC, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he/she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest.
The information contained in this table is based upon information received from or on behalf of the named individuals or from publicly available information and filings by or on behalf of those persons with the SEC.

| Item 13 | Certain Relationships, Related Transactions and Director Independence |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Transactions with related persons are governed by our code of business conduct and ethics, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. This code of business conduct and ethics covers a wide range of potential activities, including, among others, conflicts of interest, self-dealing and related party transactions. Waiver of the policies set forth in this code will only be permitted when circumstances warrant. Such waivers for directors and executive officers, or that provide a benefit to a director or executive officer, may be made only by our Board, as a whole, or the Audit Committee. Absent such a review and approval process in conformity with the applicable guidelines relating to the particular transaction under consideration, such arrangements are not permitted. All related party transactions for which disclosure is required to be provided herein were approved in accordance with our code of business conduct and ethics.
Transactions with Related Persons
SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of FiEE’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of more than 5% of our common stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.
Amended and Restated Investor Purchase Agreement
On February 18, 2025, the Company entered into, and simultaneously closed the transactions under, the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (“Investor Purchase Agreement”) among Cao Yu, Hu Bin, and Youxin Consulting Limited, a Hong Kong company (collectively, the “Investor Purchasers”), David Lazar and the Company, whereby Lazar sold to the Investor Purchasers (i) 2,219,447 shares of his Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Lazar Warrants, and (iii) 2,656,980 shares of Common Stock and 85,910 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Investor Purchasers also purchased certain receivables that the Company owed to Lazar (the “Lazar Receivables”). The purchase price was $500,000.
As further consideration, Lazar has the opportunity to be paid by the Investor Purchasers an additional $3,400,000, less any indemnity and other obligations payable by Lazar, if (i) the Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or any successors to any of the foregoing (each a “Trading Market”) on or before December 31, 2025 and (ii) the Company has satisfied all applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of the applicable Trading Market. Additionally, if the foregoing is achieved, Lazar will also receive a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to 3% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date the Common Stock is listed on a Trading Market pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Investor Purchase Agreement includes a covenant that, promptly following the closing, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the Stated Value (as defined in the certificate of incorporation) of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from $1.40 to $2.75 in consideration for cancelling the Lazar Warrants and forgiving the Lazar Receivables.
Cao Yu Securities Purchase Agreement
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into, and simultaneously closed the transactions under, a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cao Yu, whereby the Company sold 1,585,366 shares of Common Stock to Cao Yu, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,600,000.
35
Hu Bin Securities Purchase Agreement
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into, and simultaneously closed the transactions under, a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hu Bin, whereby the Company sold 853,659 shares of Common Stock to Hu Bin, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,400,000.
Second Amended and Restated Investor Purchase Agreement
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investor Purchase Agreement with Lazar and the Investor Purchasers to remove references to the issuance of the Lazar Common Stock, which issuance was rescinded and replaced with the Convertible Note described below, and remove references to the Earnout Shares. The Investor Purchasers agreed that they will surrender the Lazar Warrants to the Company for cancellation and irrevocably waive and forgive the Lazar Receivables for the benefit of the Company.
Convertible Note
On May 9, 2025, the Company and David Lazar (“Noteholder”) entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Convertible Note”), under which, effective as of February 18, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company agreed to pay to the Noteholder a principal amount of $300,000, together with interest on the balance of the principal from time to time outstanding, at the rates and at the times described therein. The outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note shall be paid in full on or prior to December 31, 2025.
In the event the stockholder approval is obtained, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.25 per share, rounded to the nearest whole share, effective as of the date of stockholder approval. Within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, the Company shall hold a special meeting of stockholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of stockholders) for the purpose of obtaining stockholder approval.
Lazar Services Agreement
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into a services agreement with David Lazar (“Service Provider”), pursuant to which the Company engages Service Provider as an independent contractor, to (i) use best efforts to obtain a decision from the SEC that Nasdaq must hold a hearing to consider the merits of the Company’s appeal from being delisted from Nasdaq, (ii) use best efforts to achieve a Nasdaq Listing for the Company on or before December 31, 2025 (such date of achievement being the “Listing Date”) and (iii) continue to provide additional services to the Company in furtherance of achieving a Nasdaq Listing through the earlier of December 31, 2025, or the Listing Date.
Independent Directors
The Board reviews the independence of the current and potential members of the Board in accordance with independence requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and applicable provisions of the Exchange Act based on director responses to director and officer questionnaires and other information available to the Board. During its review, the Board considers transactions and relationships between each director and potential director, as well as any member of his or her immediate family, and the Company and its affiliates, including those related-party transactions contemplated by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. The Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions exist that are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. The Board has determined that each of Hongya Wen, Hu Bin, David Natan, and Chan Oi Fat is independent within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

| Item 14 | Principal Accountant Fees and Services |
Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On July 11, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Beckles & Co., Inc. (“Beckles & Co”) its independent registered public accounting firm since May 2024, effective immediately. The audit reports of Beckles & Co on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and during the subsequent interim period through July 11, 2025, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and Beckles & Co on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Beckles & Co, would have caused Beckles & Co to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such year.
Beckles & Co’s report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that Beckles & Co’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 contained the following paragraph:
“The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”
Beckles & Co provided to the Company a letter stating that it agrees with the above statements, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 16, 2025.
On July 11, 2025, the Audit Committee, after a thorough evaluation, approved the selection of UHY LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, subject to UHY LLP’s completion of its standard client acceptance procedures, which occurred.
Fees to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
Set forth below are approximate fees for services rendered by UHY LLP and Beckles & Co, our independent registered public accounting firms, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals for the performance of non-audit services, and any such Audit Committee member who pre-approves a non-audit service must report the pre-approval to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
