First America Resources (OTC: FSTJ) grows 2025 sales but earnings stay flat
First America Resources Corporation (FSTJ) reported 2025 revenue of $18.8 million, up from $16.2 million in 2024, driven by growth in electronics recycling, IT asset disposition, and data center and AI infrastructure decommissioning services.
Despite higher gross profit of $10.3 million, operating expenses rose 19.6% to $10.5 million, flipping operating income of $296,269 in 2024 to an operating loss of $186,808 in 2025. Net income fell sharply to $2,765, largely sustained by a one-time $346,000 Employee Retention Credit recorded in other income.
The company ended 2025 with $276,855 in cash, $2.1 million of notes payable, and lease liabilities with a present value of $2.33 million, while carrying an accumulated deficit of $3.21 million and a stockholders’ deficit of $1.59 million. Operations are concentrated in related-party relationships with First America Metal Corp. and First American Management Group Corp., which are major shareholders, lenders, vendor, and customer. Management reports material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including an ineffective control environment and lack of segregation of duties.
Positive
- Revenue growth with solid margins: 2025 revenue increased 15.9% year over year to $18.79 million, with gross margin holding at 55.1%, supported by data-driven processing and higher-value IT asset disposition and recycling services, including AI-related infrastructure projects.
- Improved other income and debt service history: Net other income swung to a positive $189,573 in 2025 from a loss in 2024, aided by a $346,000 Employee Retention Credit, and the company reports no defaults on its outstanding notes payable.
Negative
- Profitability dependence on one-time credit: Net income was only $2,765 in 2025 versus $211,112 in 2024, and was materially supported by a non-recurring $346,000 Employee Retention Credit, indicating underlying operations would have produced a net loss.
- Leverage and thin liquidity: The company ended 2025 with $276,855 in cash against $2.05 million of notes payable and lease liabilities with a present value of $2.33 million, alongside a $1.59 million stockholders’ deficit.
- Significant related-party exposure: First America Metal Corp. represented about 15% of 2025 revenues and 51% of accounts payable, and related-party notes payable totaled over $1.2 million, creating concentrated operational and financing dependence.
- Material weaknesses in internal controls: Management concluded internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, citing an ineffective control environment and lack of segregation of duties, which increases financial reporting and governance risk.
Insights
Revenue is growing, but profitability, leverage, and controls remain key weaknesses.
First America Resources grew 2025 revenue 15.9% to $18.79M as it expanded ITAD, electronics recycling, and AI-related infrastructure lifecycle services. Gross margin stayed relatively strong at 55.1%, reflecting a service-heavy, technology-assisted model with healthy pricing on refurbished equipment and recycling services.
However, operating expenses rose nearly 19.6%, turning a prior-year operating profit into a small operating loss. Net income was only $2,765 and depended heavily on a one-time $346,000 Employee Retention Credit, suggesting underlying profitability remains fragile once non-recurring items are removed.
Liquidity and leverage are notable constraints. Cash was $276,855 at year-end with notes payable of $2.05M and lease liabilities with a present value of $2.33M. Related parties First America Metal Corp. and First American Management Group Corp. dominate revenues, payables, and debt, concentrating counterparty exposure. Management also discloses material weaknesses in internal controls, including an ineffective control environment and inadequate segregation of duties, which heighten reporting and governance risk until remediated.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K.
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; change in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; the risk of foreign currency exchange rate; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

Revenues
Revenues increased by $2,584,194, or approximately 15.9%, from $16,206,752 for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $18,790,946 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This growth reflects increased demand across our core service lines, including electronic equipment recycling, IT asset disposition, data destruction, and data center decommissioning. Management believes the growth in revenue was driven in part by expanding enterprise customer relationships, including projects related to the retirement of computing infrastructure associated with artificial intelligence and high-performance computing environments, as enterprises upgrade legacy data center infrastructure to support AI-optimized hardware workloads.
Revenue concentration risk remains present. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our top three customers accounted for approximately 15%, 13%, and 12% of total revenues, respectively, compared to 20%, 13%, and 11% for the same customers in 2024. The decrease in concentration among our largest customer reflects continued diversification of our customer base. No other individual customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues in 2025.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues increased by $1,343,248, or approximately 18.9%, from $7,102,600 in 2024 to $8,445,848 in 2025. The increase in cost of revenues was driven by the higher volume of materials processed and services performed, consistent with overall revenue growth. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased modestly, resulting in a slight compression in gross margin from 56.2% in 2024 to 55.1% in 2025. Management attributes this compression primarily to changes in service and materials mix, increased logistics and transportation costs, and incremental costs associated with new customer onboarding and data center decommissioning projects. Despite this modest compression, gross margin remained at a healthy level reflective of our service-intensive, technology-assisted processing model.

|
Total operating expenses increased by $1,724,023, or approximately 19.6%, from $8,807,883 in 2024 to $10,531,906 in 2025. The increase outpaced revenue growth, resulting in a swing from operating income of $296,269 in 2024 to an operating loss of $(186,808) in 2025. The primary drivers of the increase in operating expenses were as follows:
Payroll Expenses. Payroll expenses increased by $709,442, or approximately 14.8%, from $4,780,729 in 2024 to $5,490,171 in 2025. The increase reflects continued headcount investment to support revenue growth, expanded service capabilities, and operational infrastructure needs associated with the METech business combination.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $387,232, or approximately 18.7%, from $2,072,830 in 2024 to $2,460,062 in 2025. The increase reflects higher operating costs associated with the growth of the business and incremental administrative costs associated with becoming a reporting public company following the April 2025 business combination.
Professional Fees. Professional fees increased by $328,853, or approximately 159.1%, from $206,705 in 2024 to $535,558 in 2025. The significant increase is attributable primarily to legal, accounting, audit, and advisory fees incurred in connection with the reverse acquisition transaction completed in April 2025, public company compliance costs, and ongoing SEC reporting requirements.
Rent and Lease Expense. Rent and lease expense increased by $267,767, or approximately 17.4%, from $1,539,868 in 2024 to $1,807,635 in 2025, consistent with expansion of our facility footprint and inflationary adjustments in facility lease costs across our operational locations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total future minimum lease obligations of $2,727,953 with a present value of $2,330,987, using a weighted average discount rate of 4.4% and a weighted average remaining term of approximately 39 months.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $19,222, or approximately 18.4%, from $104,378 in 2024 to $85,156 in 2025, reflecting the continued reduction in net book value of our existing asset base, partially offset by additions of property and equipment.

Other Income and Expense
Total other income (expense) resulted in net other income of $189,573 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net other expense of $(85,157) in 2024, a positive variance of $274,730. The improvement was attributable to the following:
Employee Retention Credit. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) totaling $346,000, which is reflected in other income. This represents a significant non-recurring item that contributed materially to other income in the current year. No comparable amount was received in 2024.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $67,064, or approximately 68.6%, from $97,703 in 2024 to $164,767 in 2025. The increase reflects higher outstanding debt balances during 2025, including new notes payable issued in 2025, some of which carry elevated interest rates (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). Cash paid for interest was $198,038 in 2025 compared to $143,841 in 2024.
Net Income
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $2,765, compared to net income of $211,112 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The significant decrease in net income is primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses, particularly payroll, professional fees, and general and administrative costs, which exceeded the growth in gross profit. Net income in 2025 was supported materially by the $346,000 Employee Retention Credit received during the year; absent this non-recurring item, the Company would have recorded a net loss. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.00 in both 2025 and 2024, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 87,964,090 in each period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
“Liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs for cash. We believe we will have adequate liquidity to maintain current operations during 2026, but we may choose to locate additional sources of cash to facilitate growth and expansion. “Capital resources” refers to assets we use in our business to produce goods or deliver services, such as machinery, buildings, tools, and technology. Capital resources have a long-term, multi-use lifespan. These assets enhance our production efficiency, increase profitability, and are crucial for generating income and sustainable growth.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $276,855 compared to $470,273 as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have consisted of cash generated from operations and proceeds from debt financing. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $79,517 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $458,921 in 2024, a decrease of $379,404. Despite net income of only $2,765, cash from operations was positive due to non-cash add-backs of $234,837 in bad debt expense and $85,156 in depreciation. However, significant working capital headwinds offset these items: accounts receivable increased by $707,203 (reflecting business growth and timing of collections), and accounts payable declined by $584,364. These outflows were substantially offset by a $1,107,042 increase in accrued expenses, reflecting the timing of vendor payments. Financed insurance policy payments of $196,375 also reduced operating cash flows during the year.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $2,729 in 2025 compared to $106,291 in 2024. Capital expenditures were minimal in 2025, reflecting a deliberate reduction in new equipment purchases. The Company financed $193,252 of property and equipment through non-cash financing arrangements in 2025, compared to $61,880 in 2024. Additionally, the Company recognized $754,886 of new right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities during 2025 in connection with new and renewed operating lease agreements.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $270,206 in 2025, compared to $38,722 in 2024. During 2025, the Company received proceeds from notes payable of $200,000. Repayments of notes payable totaled $470,206 during 2025, compared to $38,722 in 2024. The higher repayment activity reflects payoff and reduction of certain legacy notes and financed insurance balances. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, accounts payable to a related party totaling $500,000 were settled through the issuance of a note payable, representing a significant non-cash financing activity.
Debt
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total notes payable of $2,051,993, of which approximately $1,093,031 was classified as current and $958,962 as long-term. This compares to total notes payable of $1,591,815 as of December 31, 2024, of which $1,063,218 was current and $528,597 was long-term. Interest rates on outstanding notes range from approximately 2.07% to 29.93%, reflecting a mix of equipment financing, SBA loans, and other borrowings. The Company also has outstanding loans from Jian Li, an officer, totaling $228,933 at both December 31, 2025 and 2024; these loans bear no stated interest rate and are due on demand.
The current classification of notes payable is important to understand in context. As disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, notes payable without a stated maturity date are classified as current in accordance with GAAP. Approximately $1,225,704 of the $1,617,418 reflected in the 2026 column of the future maturities table below consists of notes with no stated maturity date, the substantial majority of which are owed to the Company’s two largest related-party shareholders — First American Management Group Corp. (~$519,000) and First America Metal Corp. (per Note 8) — and have been outstanding since 2019 through 2022 with no history of demand for repayment. Accordingly, the current classification of this debt reflects a GAAP presentation requirement rather than an expectation of near-term cash outflow. Notes with actual stated maturity dates falling in 2026 total approximately $78,512.

Related Party Transactions
The Company has entered into significant transactions with related parties, the most significant of which are summarized below. For additional detail, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
First American Management Group Corp (FAMGC). FAMGC is the Company's largest shareholder and is also a noteholder. At December 31, 2025, outstanding notes payable to FAMGC totaled $519,000, compared to $556,000 at December 31, 2024.
First America Metal Corp (FAMC). FAMC is the Company's second largest shareholder and also serves as both a significant customer and primary vendor. FAMC represented approximately 15% of revenues in 2025 and 51% of accounts payable as of December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, outstanding notes payable to FAMC totaled $707,000 (2024: $157,000), accounts payable to FAMC totaled $1,159,571 (2024: $2,302,980), and accounts receivable from FAMC totaled $318,273 (2024: $466,449). The substantial reduction in accounts payable to FAMC from $2,302,980 to $1,159,571 reflects partial settlement of amounts owed, including the $500,000 non-cash conversion of accounts payable to a note payable during 2025.
Officer Loans. Jian Li, an officer of the Company, has advanced funds to the Company from time to time. These loans bear no stated interest rate and are due on demand. The outstanding balance was $228,933 at both December 31, 2025 and 2024.
These related party relationships represent a significant aspect of the Company's operations and capital structure. The concentration of purchasing activity with a single vendor (FAMC representing 51% of accounts payable) and revenue concentration with related customers presents potential risks that management monitors on an ongoing basis.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following accounting policies are considered most significant to an understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is primarily derived from electronic equipment recycling, asset disposition, and data destruction services. Performance obligations for each service type are typically satisfied at a point in time, and revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. During 2025, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $235,000 (2024: $110,000) and maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $154,000 at December 31, 2025 (2024: $110,000). Total net accounts receivable were $2,459,493 at December 31, 2025, including $318,273 due from First America Metal Corp., a related party. The increase in bad debt expense reflects higher gross receivable balances and management’s assessment of collection risk.
Leases. The Company accounts for leases under ASC 842 using the right-of-use model, recognizing a lease liability and corresponding ROU asset on each lease commencement date. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of remaining lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the leases is not readily determinable. The weighted average discount rate applied was 4.4% with a weighted average remaining term of approximately 39 months.
Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities under ASC 740 based on temporary and permanent differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against deferred tax assets because management has determined it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized, given the Company’s history of minimal taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $8,156,000 in federal net operating loss carryforwards, with a corresponding deferred tax asset of approximately $609,000, fully offset by a valuation allowance. Future utilization of these carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred or may occur in the future.
Goodwill. The Company carries goodwill of $750,000, which is evaluated for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate reporting unit fair value. No impairment was recognized in 2025 or 2024.

| Table of Contents |
Inflation and Macroeconomic Conditions
The Company’s operations are subject to general macroeconomic and inflationary pressures. During 2025, inflationary conditions continued to affect operating costs, particularly with respect to payroll, logistics, and facility lease costs. Management believes revenue growth has partially offset these cost pressures, though gross margin compression of approximately 110 basis points in 2025 relative to 2024 reflects the net impact of these dynamics. The Company will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and adjust its pricing and cost management strategies as appropriate.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, which enhances transparency of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance in 2025; adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, which improves segment expense disclosures. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
First America Resource Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First America Resource Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years in the period ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the two year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Company’s governance and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
| |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022. | |

FIRST AMERICA RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Company and Business
METech Exchange Agreement
On April 16, 2025, (METech Closing Date) First America Resources Corporation (FSTJ), a Nevada corporation, entered into a Common Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of such date (the Exchange Agreement) with the METech Recycling, Inc. (METech), a Delaware corporation, and all of the shareholders of METech. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, FSTJ acquired one hundred percent (
For financial statement reporting purposes, the asset acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with METech deemed the accounting acquirer and FSTJ deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10-55. The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of METech (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to FSTJ (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the acquisition. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of FSTJ and the assets and liabilities of METech which are recorded at their historical cost. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of METech.
Business
METech specializes in electronic waste management and IT asset disposition (ITAD). The Company provides certified recycling services, secure data destruction, and IT asset management. With a focus on sustainability, the Company aims to maximize material recovery while ensuring the protection of proprietary technology and customer data. They operate multiple R2-certified facilities across the U.S., offering customized solutions for safe recycling, inventory management, and equipment disposal. The Company emphasizes eco-responsible practices and transparency.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FSTJ and its wholly owned subsidiary METech. All intercompany transactions and account balances between the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments
The Company operates as a single segment.

FIRST AMERICA RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash
Cash includes all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC provides coverage of up to $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of invoiced and unpaid sales. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Accounts are considered delinquent when payments have not been received within the agreed upon terms and are written off when management determines that collection is not probable. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded bad debt expenses totaling $
Deposits
Deposits include security deposits and balances held by regulators for potential costs related to the Company’s operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset may not be recoverable. The Company groups and evaluates these long-lived assets for impairment at the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset group. If the estimated future cash flows used in the analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the asset group’s estimated discounted future cash flows. If required, an impairment loss is recorded for the portion of the asset group’s carrying value that exceeds the asset group’s estimated discounted future cash flows.
The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its goodwill for impairment at least annually during its fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more often if and when circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. When evaluating goodwill for potential impairment, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. Management evaluates the probability of the realization of its deferred income tax assets. Management determined that because the Company has not yet generated taxable income, it is unlikely that a tax benefit will be realized from these operating loss carry forwards. Accordingly, the deferred income tax asset is offset by a full valuation allowance.
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analyzing contracts with customers through a five-step process: identifying the contract with the customer, determining the performance obligations within the contract, establishing the transaction price, allocating that price to the identified performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s Revenue is primarily derived from services related to electronic equipment recycling, asset disposition, and data destruction.
Electronic equipment recycling
The Company’s customers engage it to recycle old and unused electronic equipment. The performance obligation associated with this service is the receipt and disposal of the equipment by the Company. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Asset disposition
The Company may be engaged to fully remove a client’s equipment from its current location. The performance obligation for this service is based on when all equipment has been removed from the customer’s location. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Data destruction
The Company may be engaged to destroy data on its customers electronic devices as well as provide other destruction services to ensure that its customers’ data is not compromised. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximates fair value.
Advertising Expenses
The Company accounts for its advertising and marketing expenses in accordance with ASC 720-35-50 and expenses all costs as incurred including direct expenses of advertisement placement as well as the cost of producing or creating the advertisement.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses are current assets created when the Company makes payments or incurs an obligation for expenses identified for a future period. These amounts are charged to expense as the services are provided.
Leases
The Company uses the right-of-use (ROU) model to account for leases where the Company is the lessee, which requires an entity to recognize a lease liability and ROU asset on the lease commencement date. A lease liability is measured equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and is discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Lease payments include payments made before the commencement date and any residual value guarantees, if applicable. When determining the lease term, the Company includes option periods that it is reasonably certain to exercise as failure to renew the lease would impose a significant economic detriment.
For operating leases, minimum lease payments or receipts, including minimum scheduled rent increases, are recognized as rent expense where the Company is a lessee on a straight-line basis (Straight-Line Rent) over the applicable lease terms. The excess of the Straight-Line Rent over the minimum rents paid is included in the ROU asset where the Company is a lessee. Short-term lease cost for operating leases includes rental expense for leases with a term of less than 12 months.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Earnings or (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2025, and 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (ASU 2023-09), Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. Adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (ASU 2023-07), Segment Reporting, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 primarily enhances disclosures about significant segment expenses by requiring that a public entity disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU also (i) requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment, and a description of its composition; (ii) requires that all annual disclosures are provided in the interim periods; (iii) clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of profitability in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, that one or more of those measures may be reported; (iv) requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and a description of how the reported measures are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and in deciding how to allocate resources; (v) requires that an entity with a single segment provide all new required disclosures. ASU 2023-07 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and requires retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments under ASU 2023-07 relate to financial disclosures and its adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure or adjustment consideration.
3. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Leases
The Company has operating lease agreements in place for the use of facilities and equipment. Operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities under ASC 842, Leases. The Company records rent expense associated with these leases on a straight-line basis in conjunction with the terms of the underlying leases.

10. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are calculated for income tax purposes. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, assumes a statutory

The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, the Company has not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance decreased by $

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, or interest and penalties, that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities. The tax return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, has not yet been filed.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses, as discussed below. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weaknesses had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
A system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Also, the design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2025, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance respecting financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
Based on our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 as a result of the following material weaknesses identified by management:
Control Environment - We did not maintain an effective control environment for internal control over financial reporting.
Segregation of Duties - As a result of limited resources and staff, we did not maintain proper segregation of incompatible duties. The effect of the lack of segregation of duties potentially affects multiple processes and procedures.
These weaknesses are continuing. Management and the board of directors are aware of these weaknesses that result because of limited resources and staff. Management has begun the process of formally documenting our key processes as a starting point for improved internal control over financial reporting. Efforts to fully implement the processes we have designed have been renewed.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q and 10-K, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by our principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees;” (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”
Under applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent auditors. Until such time as we have an Audit Committee in place, the Board of Directors will pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors.
Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
