Rhea-AI Filing Summary
TEN Holdings, Inc., a Nevada-based holding company for TEN Events, reports 2025 revenue of about
The company’s 2025 net loss widened sharply to roughly
Positive
- Technology investment and new platform: Research and development spending rose to approximately $1.0 million in 2025, supporting launch of the TEN Pro webcasting platform with AI-based captioning, translation, and analytics, and positioning the company for a potential subscription (PaaS) revenue model.
- Diverse event capabilities and growing customer base: TEN supported about 248 virtual and hybrid events attracting roughly 525,812 attendees in 2025 and increased its customer count to about 40, with nine of its top ten 2025 customers being repeat clients.
Negative
- Severe losses and going-concern warning: 2025 net loss widened to about $19.5 million with $10.1 million of operating cash outflow and an accumulated deficit of $21.4 million, leading the auditor to raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
- Revenue decline and heavy dependence on one customer: Revenue fell from roughly $3.5 million in 2024 to $3.1 million in 2025, and a single customer accounted for about 66.7% of 2025 revenue, exposing the business to significant concentration risk.
- Competitive and regulatory pressures: The company operates in a highly competitive webcasting market against larger players and faces evolving regulations on streaming, accessibility, privacy, data protection, and intellectual property, any of which could increase costs or constrain operations.

PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
TEN Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “TEN Holdings,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), headquartered in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, was incorporated on February 12, 2024 in Pennsylvania to act as the holding company of TEN Events, Inc. (“TEN Events”), which was incorporated in Pennsylvania in May of 2011 and is an operating entity. TEN Events is a provider of event planning, production, and broadcasting services. TEN Events produces virtual, hybrid, self-service, and physical events. Virtual, hybrid, and self-service events could involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro platform and TEN Pro platform. Physical events were added to our revenue streams, due to our corporate restructuring completed in fiscal year 2023, and mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we primarily generate revenue from virtual and hybrid events delivered to corporate customers. We experienced decreases in our total revenue and net income in the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to an event series with our biggest customer that took place in the three-month ended March 31, 2024, but did not repeat in the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $19.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 88.2% and 91.9% of our total revenue, respectively; and the revenue generated from physical events was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 11.8% and 8.1% of our total revenue, respectively.
Our mission is to deliver top-tier planning, production, and broadcasting services for virtual, hybrid and physical events. Our goal is to become a global leader in innovative virtual events that enhance engagement and connectivity, making impactful and memorable experiences accessible to all.
Our Industry
We mainly compete in the webcasting industry. We believe the barriers to entry into the domestic and global webcasting industry are high, including, among other things, technological, talent, financial and regulatory and localization barriers. The technological barrier must be overcome, because new entrants need to make substantial upfront financial investment to develop a web-streaming platform that satisfies customers’ expectations and is comparable to our platform. Such a web-streaming platform is expected to enable engagement of event attendees, provide positive attendee experience, and feature technological interoperability, scalability, and reliability. We estimate that it would require a capital investment ranging from approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million and we estimate that it would take a minimum of five years to complete the development of a platform that is comparable to ours. To address the talent barrier, new entrants need to engage talents with expertise for live event planning, webcasting production, software development, and other relevant positions. In addition to the financial hurdles intrinsic to the technological barrier, the financial barrier requires significant financial resources to conduct continuous research and development to build, maintain, and upgrade the technology and infrastructure required for the provision of webcasting services. Lastly, the regulatory and localization barriers may be prohibitive for new entrants, as they may need to satisfy various regulatory requirements when they endeavor to enter into this industry and provide localized services when they penetrate a new market area, especially when such new entrants aim to operate across global regions.
We believe the domestic and global webcasting industry is highly competitive. Such competitive factors include technology, product quality, price level, brand recognition, and customer support. We face competition from many large and small companies, which include, but are not limited to, Zoom, ON24, GlobalMeet, Cvent, Bizzabo, and Meeting Tomorrow. Existing and new market entrants, particularly established companies with greater resources than we have, that provide technologies to improve communication and engagement technologies or platforms, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, could also increase the level of competition in the market.
Virtual and hybrid events allow for greater flexibility and wider reach than traditional in-person events, and may, therefore, be seen as more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective compared to traditional in-person events, and we believe they have become more accepted and widely adopted in the post-COVID-19 era. While it is difficult to ascertain how demand will evolve, we expect that future webcasting services will shift towards (i) enhanced event attendee interactivity, engagement and networking opportunities; (ii) integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality technologies; (iii) adoption of advanced data analytics to measure event success, understand attendee behavior, and improve future events; (iv) accessibility to global audiences without geographical limitations; and (v) greater customization and flexibility of webcasting solutions.

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe the following competitive advantages are essential for our success and differentiate us from our competitors.
Proprietary Webcasting and Event Management Platform
Our ability to deliver quality event planning, production, and broadcasting services depends on our proprietary webcasting and event management platform, namely, our Xyvid Pro platform. Our platform possesses the following features: (i) professional audio-visual production, broadcast and presentation; (ii) customizable event designs that include, but are not limited to, a tailor-made attendee registration system, email communications, and a web panel for virtual events; (iii) an interoperable platform that is able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, because Xyvid Pro platform is a web-based application that does not require a software download and is accessible through any modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, or Brave; (iv) scalable infrastructure that supports events of various sizes, from a few attendees to tens of thousands of global audiences, assisted by captioning and transcription services for 109 different languages; and (v) event attendee interactivity and engagement tools that are designed to keep attendees engaged through polling, surveys, integration of social media feeds, and other engagement tools. For further details on our platform, see “Our Services – Virtual and Hybrid Events.” In addition to these features, our Company is committed to continuously improving our platform’s capabilities and meeting evolving customer needs, by conducting research and development. For our research and development efforts, see “Research and Development.”
Event Production Experience and Expertise
We started operating our business in May 2011 and have accumulated over a decade of event planning, production, and broadcasting experience. Our virtual and hybrid events include a wide range of events, including conferences, marketing events, product launches, trainings, investor and shareholder meetings. Our virtual and hybrid events also include continuing education in the form of live or asynchronous learning, and we will track learners’ qualifications, and generate certificates for learners when the stipulated requirements are met. Our physical events involve live-streaming and video recording of physical events, video editing and production, and a custom on-demand video library for finished video content to be viewed and downloaded. Our Company has the experience and expertise to deliver a broad spectrum of events, as well as networking, communication and learning experiences customizable to each customer’s needs.
Dedicated Customer Service
Our Company selects and assigns a dedicated team to each customer to provide professional guidance and support throughout the provision of our services. We carefully assess each customer’s needs and offer varying levels of guidance and support tailored to our customers’ capabilities and expertise on event production, from sharing insights in training sessions to fully managing customers’ events. We provide troubleshooting and technical support to both our customers and attendees during the events. Due to our dedication to providing quality service and supporting our customers, we believe that we have cultivated a loyal customer base.
Experienced Management Team
Our management team has extensive industry and management experience, which reaches approximately 20 years on average for each member. The management team has accumulated comprehensive knowledge in business management, sales, marketing, accounting and finance, and various other matters.
Our Services
We generate revenue from the provision of virtual, hybrid, self-service and physical events. Virtual, hybrid and self-service events could involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro platform and TEN Pro platform. Physical events mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, most of our revenue was generated from virtual and hybrid events. Our virtual and hybrid events and physical events include a variety of event types, collectively, including on-site studio broadcasts, hybrid events from in-person locations, fully virtual webcam-based events, simulated live events (pre-recorded content played back at a scheduled time), and asynchronous video-on-demand events.

Virtual and Hybrid Events
Our virtual and hybrid events include various event purposes, such as conferences, marketing events, product launches, training, and investor and shareholder meetings. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we supported approximately 248 events that collectively attracted approximately 525,812 attendees.
Our virtual and hybrid events are enabled by our Xyvid Pro & TEN Pro platforms, which are internet-based broadcast platforms with interactive engagement tools designed to provide web broadcast audiences with a dynamic, interactive, and engaging virtual event experience.

Our virtual and hybrid events can be tailored to satisfy each customer’s requirements based on their capabilities and levels of expertise. We can serve customers with high levels of experience and in-house production capabilities by sharing our insights on event management, providing tools and resources to enhance customers’ existing event production processes, and offering other related services as needed. We can also serve customers with limited experience with virtual and hybrid events by providing full-range services on event planning, event design, event content creation, event management, technical support, and post-event reporting.
Our virtual and hybrid events also include continuing education services for customers, especially companies in professionally licensed industries. Our continuing education services enable live and asynchronous learning, tracking learners’ qualifications, and can implement specific criteria measured to ascertain passage or failure, learners’ watch-time, live polling data and scoring, and generate certificates for learners when the stipulated requirements are met.
We charge service fees for providing our virtual and hybrid events. Our fees are primarily determined based on event duration, event complexity, event time, anticipated number of attendees, and customization requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 88.2% and 91.9% of our total revenue, respectively.
Physical Events
Our physical events started in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of our corporate restructuring. For details on our corporate restructuring, please see “Corporate History and Structure.” Our physical events include live streaming and video recording of physical events, video editing and production, and a custom on-demand video library for finished video content to be viewed and downloaded.

We charge service fees for providing our physical events. Our fees are primarily determined based on event duration, event time, anticipated number of on-site technicians, and customization requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue generated from physical events was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 11.8% and 8.1% of our total revenue, respectively.
Our Customers
Our customers represent a diverse range of industries, mainly including professional services firms, technology firms, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, marketing and advertising agencies, as well as nonprofits and associations. Our customers are of various sizes, including early-stage companies looking to establish their brand and reach a broader audience through virtual and hybrid events, small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to expand their market presence and engage with stakeholders through cost-effective event solutions, large enterprises often requiring complex, large-scale event solutions to connect with global audiences, and multinational corporations that require scalable and robust event solutions to manage multiple events across different regions.
Our arrangements with our customers generally include the following three types: (i) a master service agreement supplemented by purchase orders for specific events; (ii) an event bundle contract where a customer prepays for a certain number of events to be delivered; and (iii) engagement on an event-by-event basis. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had approximately 40 and 33 customers, respectively, among which, one customer independently accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue, accounting for approximately 66.7% and 64.6% of our total revenue, respectively. Such largest customer is not our related party.
According to the master service agreement that we entered into with our largest customer on August 7, 2018, we will make our services available to the customer and both parties will enter into purchase orders or statements of work of specific projects or events, which will specify the term start date and end date, fees, any configuration, training and other services to be provided by the Company. Upon execution by both parties, each purchase order or statement of work will form a part of the master service agreement. Either party may propose changes to a statement of work and such proposed changes will not bind either party unless and until they have been agreed upon in writing. The customer has the right to terminate the agreement for its convenience upon thirty days’ prior written notice, and we may terminate the agreement upon thirty days’ prior written notice if the parties are unable to resolve disputes relating to non-payment by the customer. Although the master service agreement contains “software-as-a-service” (SaaS) in the heading, the services outlined in the purchase orders and actually provided by the Company do not include any SaaS offerings.
We seek to sustain customer relationships through offering personalized solutions tailored to specific customer needs, providing timely customer support, enhancing customer experience, offering competitive pricing, and maintaining regular and effective communications with customers. We believe that we have cultivated a loyal customer base. For the year ended December 31, 2025, nine of our top ten customers, in terms of our revenue, were repeat customers.
| 6 |
Our Suppliers
Our major suppliers include cloud service providers, audio-visual equipment manufacturers, and software vendors. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we engaged third-party service providers to facilitate accreditation in our continuing education services, provide studio equipment and host hybrid events, and we engaged independent subcontractors to attend live in-person events and facilitate the production and recording process for approximately 50 physical events.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one supplier (Azure) independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 12.6% of our total purchases in 2025 and 17.9% of our total purchases in 2024. Such largest supplier is a cloud hosting Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is essential for our platform’s accessibility. Other than our largest supplier that accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, we do not rely heavily on any of the remaining suppliers to provide core services to our customers, and, in the event that we lose any of those suppliers, we believe that we will be able to find a replacement of appropriate service capacity at reasonable costs, due to the low concentration and high competitiveness of the services provided by those suppliers.
Sales and Marketing
We promote our business and engage with potential customers through various offline and online channels. The main offline channels we use to identify and obtain business opportunities include participation in industry conferences, trade shows, and networking events, such as Event Tech Live, Streaming Media East, NIRI Annual Conference, as well as referrals from existing customers. The main online channels we utilize include social media marketing on platforms, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, online content publications, such as blogs and case studies, targeted email marketing, online advertising campaigns, and corporate website customization for search engines.
Our sales strategies focus on leveraging multiple sales channels and personalized approaches to attract and retain customers. Our sales strategies are determined by the sales management team in collaboration with the executive leadership team. This collaborative approach is designed to ensure that the sales strategies align with overall business goals, market trends, and customer needs. To design our sales strategies, the sales management team conducts market analysis, gathers customer feedback, and monitors industry developments to inform their decisions. The sales strategies are reviewed and approved by the executive leadership team to ensure consistency with our long-term objectives and growth plans. Our sales strategies are reviewed and adjusted on a regular basis in accordance with market changes, customer feedback, industry trends, and evolving business goals.
We offer a variety of promotional programs to attract and retain customers. These programs include discounts for first-time customers, volume-based discounts for long-term or high-volume contracts, rebates on multi-year agreements, special promotions during industry events and seasonal campaigns, as well as referral incentives for customers who bring in new customers. These promotional programs are designed to provide value and flexibility to our customers, enhancing their overall experience with our Company.
Growth Strategies
We plan to further develop our business through the following growth strategies.
Increasing Business Growth Efforts
We plan to promote our future business growth by strengthening customer relationships, improving customer loyalty, and increasing our marketing and sales efforts with additional investment in digital marketing and sales team expansion.
| 7 |
Enhancing Technology and Innovation
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we entered a technical partnership with webinar.net, an Xcyte Digital company, to bring to market our next-generation webcasting platform, TEN Pro. TEN Pro offers numerous improvements over our prior Xyvid Pro platform, including AI-based live captioning and translation, enhanced user experience and ease of use, advanced continuing education capabilities, an on-demand editing lab, and 1080p live streaming with reduced latency. TEN Pro also positions us to enter the webcasting platform software-as-a-service market due to its focus on usability.
We plan to incorporate more emerging technologies to enhance our TEN Pro platform. For example, in the first quarter of 2026 we expanded our AI based captioning and translation from 8 to over 70 languages, as well as introducing a speech to text feature where global audience members can hear the translation as opposed to needing to split their focus between reading the live transcript and the presentation content. We also will be incorporating AI-based Business Intelligence capabilities allowing the customer to craft their own custom reports and metrics dashboards. Using AI, the platform will analyze your event for the highlights and generate short form clips for use in social media campaigns. Generative AI capabilities will be leveraged to provide a summary of what you missed if you attend late, and a complete recap will be available post event.
In addition, our business model is predominantly service based as of the date of this Annual Report. We plan to integrate a PaaS model over the next few years. This strategy will involve offering our platform as a subscription-based service, enabling customers to leverage our technology independently. We believe this shift will allow us to cater to a broader range of customers and drive recurring revenue streams. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are in the development phase of our PaaS offering.
Diversifying Service Offerings
Our key differentiator has historically been our fully managed services. We primarily produce virtual and hybrid events but also provide physical event services. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we diversified our service offerings by introducing TEN Pro, a self-service webcasting platform designed for enterprise customers seeking to manage their own events on a subscription basis. Additionally, we provide managed services in conjunction with a TEN Pro license to further support our customers throughout the year.
Making Strategic Investments and Acquisitions
We plan to identify, invest in, partner with, and acquire appropriate businesses that offer complementary advantages to our business, thereby improving overall competitiveness and sustaining growth. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not identified, nor have we engaged in any material discussions regarding any potential target subject to such acquisitions or investments.
Research and Development
We are committed to continuously improving our platform’s capabilities, expanding our service offerings to customers, and meeting evolving customer needs, by conducting research and development. Our research and development projects typically span six to 18 months, depending on their complexity and scope. We incurred $1.0 million and $0.1 million in research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We conduct all research and development activities in-house, ensuring alignment with our strategic goals and maintaining control over the innovation process, and have approximately two research and development specialists, as of the date of this Annual Report.
Our research and development efforts are guided by the stages of product development and the software development life cycle. The product team within the development department leads the early stages of ideation and planning, to ensure that our research and development projects are aligned with business objectives and customer requirements and are properly detailed with product requirements. The product team then presents the research and development proposals to our management team for approval. Upon approval, the projects move into the development stage, where the development staff takes over the technical requirements and development efforts. Once development is complete, the projects undergo qualification with the quality assurance team within the development department, which process includes initial technical testing and user acceptance testing. The product team then conducts further user acceptance testing to validate the products and to determine whether (i) the products meet customer needs, (ii) the messaging and pricing is aligned to communicate value, and (iii) the Company is prepared to sell, deliver, manage, and support the products. Following successful validation, we will prepare to launch the products onto the market.

Our research and development efforts are focused on integrating emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, developing features that offer superior attendee experiences, enhancing attendee engagement, and providing robust data analytics. Our research and development efforts are undertaken to deliver long-term benefits, such as enhancing our competitive edge, and ensuring our long-term growth and sustainability.
Intellectual Property
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have registered the following intellectual properties: ten domain names, including tenevents.com, theeventsnetwork.com, theeventsnetworks.com, tenholdingsinc.com, teneventsproductions.com, tenevents.link, tenevents.net, tenevents.org, tenevents.co, and teneventsmarketing.com. In addition, as of the date of this Annual Report, we have received certificates of approval for two trademarks, TEN Holdings and TEN Events.
We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on intellectual property laws and on contractual measures. It is our general practice to enter into confidentiality agreements with our customers, in order to protect our intellectual property rights and limit access to our confidential and proprietary information. In addition to these contractual measures, we also rely on a combination of our registered domain names and other intellectual property that we may acquire to protect our brand and our intellectual property.
Employees
We strive to attract, recruit, and retain talent through our compensation and benefit programs and learning and development opportunities that support career advancement.
We believe the attraction, development and retention of skilled professionals contribute to our long-term success. To attract talent, we endeavor to offer competitive compensation packages. In addition to cash compensation, we offer complementary benefits, including performance-based bonuses, medical, dental and vision benefits plans, and 401k retirement plans. We focus on several key criteria when selecting team members, including (i) relevant experience in platform development, particularly in the events webcast or related industries, (ii) technical skills in software development, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, (iii) alignment with our values, mission, and collaborative work culture, and so on. We prioritize employee development and continuous learning through training programs, guided career progression paths, and mentorship. For employee retention, we focus on employee engagement with team-building activities, flexible work options, and an inclusive corporate culture.
Our subsidiary, TEN Events, enters into employment agreements with each of the employees. There is no collective bargaining agreement that covers our employees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we did not experience any interruptions of operations or work stoppages due to labor disagreements or disputes. We strive to maintain positive labor relations through open communication and proactive conflict resolution measures.
As of December 31, 2025, we had a headcount of 25 full-time employees. The tables below present the number of our employees by type, function, and location for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Insurance
We maintain certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. For example, we have liability insurance that covers the risks against cybersecurity claims, commercial general liability, automobile liability and umbrella coverage. Each insurance coverage category is subject to limitations as provided by the insurance policies. We believe our current insurance coverage is adequate for our business requirements and is consistent with customary industry practice. We renegotiate and renew our insurance contracts annually. We do not anticipate any difficulty in renewing contracts we currently maintain on the same terms. We have purchased the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we did not make any material insurance claims in relation to our business.
Seasonality
Our business is generally subject to seasonal fluctuations. We usually generate more revenue in the last month of each calendar quarter. We believe that such seasonality is mainly because larger corporations tend to organize their major internal gatherings or communications toward the end of calendar quarters, when their operating results may then be available for broader discussion.
Regulations
Streaming and Video Services Laws and Regulations
We operate in the regulated livestreaming and video services industry. A number of U.S. federal, state, and international laws and regulations affect our business. The regulatory bodies that regulate our business include the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. patent and trademark office, state consumer protection agencies, and international regulatory bodies. We may be subject to compliance audits by certain of these authorities.
The livestreaming aspect of our business is subject to the U.S. regulations on vulnerable population protections, such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Under these regulations, we are required to provide “auxiliary aids” to individuals with disabilities, which may include captions and audio descriptions. We currently provide captions and subtitles during our streaming process upon clients’ request and believe that we fully comply with the ADA. We do not have control over the content being streamed, however, as the events streamed are made available on-demand by our clients. We cannot provide any assurance that our business will not violate streaming content-related regulations in the future. Such violations, were they to occur, could lead to third-party claims and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our livestream business is subject to the Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020. We may face criminal penalties if we willfully, and for commercial advantage or private financial gain, illegally stream copyrighted material.
Information Security and Intellectual Property Regulations
There are numerous federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations regarding intellectual property, privacy, data protection, information security, and the storing, collection, sharing, use, processing, transferring, disclosure, and protection of personal information and other content. The scope of these regulations is changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among countries or conflict with other rules.
For instance, in the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction to investigate and enforce our compliance with certain U.S. regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which regulates the collection and use of personal information from children under the age of 13. The Electric Communications Privacy Act governs our electronic communications, mandating the protection and privacy of such data. California and other U.S. states have also enacted state specific privacy laws and those laws may include civil penalties, private rights of action, and other remedies, if and when applicable to a business.
| 10 |
When we engage with non-U.S. users, we may be subject to international information security regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) in the European Union (“EU”), which went into effect in May 2018. The GDPR imposes stringent data protection requirements and provides greater penalties for noncompliance than previous data protection laws, including potential penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of the violator’s annual global revenue. Following Brexit, although the United Kingdom enacted its Data Protection Act in May 2018 to align with the GDPR, there remains uncertainty regarding how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act may apply to us if we engage with local users.
We strive to comply with the applicable U.S. laws, regulations, policies, and other legal obligations relating to information security to the extent applicable to our business and as practical. We plan to adhere to international laws, regulations, policies, and other legal obligations related to information security when and if we expand our operations outside the U.S. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have implemented internal policies, including an information security policy and a privacy policy, to comply with the information security regulations that we believe are applicable to us. Our information security policy sets out our measures for network security, such as dual authentication, network vulnerability scanning, spam filtering tools, web filtering, access control, and incident response. This policy also establishes an extended incident response team and a core incident response team. Our information security policy is periodically reviewed and updated by our internal technical personnel. Our privacy policy regulates applicable information we collect (for instance, name, address, email address, phone number) and how we may use it. According to our privacy policy, we will not sell or otherwise disclose personal information of our webcast visitors. However, we may share information provided by our visitors with the clients hosting the webcast event and service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf. See “Item 1. Business.” Under such circumstances, these service providers are contractually restricted from using or disclosing information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. Additionally, we may disclose information about our clients (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. Our privacy policy also specifies that we will not collect information from minors who are under 13. We periodically evaluate and update our privacy policy.
The regulatory framework for information security worldwide is, and is likely to remain for the foreseeable future, uncertain, and it is possible that these or other actual or alleged obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We expect that new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security will continue to be proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions. The accompanying new or even burdensome obligations, coupled with substantial uncertainty in the interpretation and application of the regulations, may pose challenges for us in meeting legal requirements across different jurisdictions. This may require us to change our policies and practices and modify our protective measures to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures or to make required notifications and we may incur significant costs and expenses to comply. Additionally, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the existing or future enacted regulations, information security-related obligations to users or other third-parties, or any of our other legal obligations relating to information security may result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others, potentially resulting in significant liability or causing our users to lose trust in us, which could adversely affect our reputation and business.
We are also subject to various U.S. and international regulations on copyrights and intellectual properties. For instance, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) regulates the distribution and storage of digital content to protect intellectual property rights. As we offer a library for downloading videos, we are required to adhere to the provisions of the DMCA. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), we need to implement measures to handle take-down notices in the event of alleged copyright infringement. This may involve designating an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement, and promptly removing or disabling access to the infringing content upon receipt of a valid take-down notice.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to our Business and Industry
We incurred losses and had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate positive operating cash flows and raise additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability.
We have incurred and continue to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flow from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $19.5 million, net cash used in operations of $10.1 million, and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $21.4 million. Given the preceding conditions, our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate positive operating cash flows. To support our working capital needs, we will rely on our revenue generating customer contracts and equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be successful in generating positive operating cash flows and raising additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability in the future.
If we are unable to generate and raise sufficient positive operating cash flows and additional capital to result in operating profitability in the future, there may remain substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and we may have to discontinue operations and liquidate our assets and may be compelled to receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, which would cause our stockholders to lose a part or all of their investment.
Our business depends on our ability to attract new customers and retain and provide services to existing customers. Any decline in customer acquisition or retention would harm our business.
Our business depends upon our ability to attract new customers, and maintain and expand our relationships with our existing customers, including providing additional services to our existing customers. Our customers engage us to provide support for their events or other corporate activities. We cannot provide any assurance that customers will extend or renew their engagement with us after the events or corporate activities for which we have been engaged are completed. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, such as dissatisfaction with our platform and support, a customer no longer having a need for our platform, or a belief that a competitor’s service offering is better, more secure, or less expensive than our platform. Following the COVID 19 pandemic, some of our customers reduced their use of our platform, and additional customers may do so in the future. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement are also impacted by reductions in customers’ information technology spending budgets or decisions by customers to consolidate their spending budgets on one of our competitor’s platforms, both of which are more likely to occur during periods of high inflation, recessionary or uncertain economic environments. Finally, any decrease in customer satisfaction with our platform or support would harm our brand, word-of-mouth referrals, and ability to grow. We need to continually add new customers to grow our business and to replace customers who choose not to continue to use our platform. If customers terminate or do not renew their business relationships with us, or renew their service contracts on less favorable terms or for fewer services, and we do not acquire replacement customers or otherwise grow our customer base, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Any decline in demand for our services or platform could harm our business.
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenue and cash flows from producing virtual and hybrid events. Widespread adoption and use of live engagement technologies, webinars and event software in general, and our platform in particular, are critical to our future growth and success. If this market fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, demand for our platform could be negatively affected.
| 12 |
Demand for our platform is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of these potential factors include:
| ● | availability of products and services that compete, directly or indirectly, with ours; | |
| ● | awareness and adoption of live engagement technologies, generally, as a substitute for in-person events; | |
| ● | ease of adoption and use of the relevant technologies; | |
| ● | features and platform experience; | |
| ● | reliability of our platform, including frequency of outages; | |
| ● | performance and user support; | |
| ● | our brand and reputation; | |
| ● | security and privacy; | |
| ● | our pricing and our competitors’ pricing; and | |
| ● | new modes of live engagement that may be developed in the future. |
If we fail to successfully predict and address these factors, meet customer demands or achieve more widespread market adoption of our platform, our business would be harmed.
The experience of our customers depends upon the interoperability of our platform across technologies that we do not control, and if we are not able to maintain and expand our relationships with third parties in order to integrate our platform with their products, our business may be harmed.
Our platforms, Xyvid Pro and TEN Pro, have broad interoperability and are able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. See “Item 1. Business – Our Services – Virtual and Hybrid Events.” We depend on the accessibility of our platform across these devices that we do not control. Some of our competitors may have inherent advantages by being able to develop products and services internally that more closely integrate with their own software platforms or those of their business partners.
We may not be able to modify our platform and services to maintain their continued compatibility with that of third parties’ products and services that are constantly evolving. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to disrupt the ability of our platform to operate with their products or services, or they could exert strong business influence on our ability to, and the terms on which we, operate and provide access to our platform and services. Should any of these third parties modify their products or services in a manner that degrades the functionality of our platform or services, or that gives preferential treatment to their own or competitive products or services, whether to enhance their competitive position or for any other reason, the interoperability of our platform and services with these third-party products and services could decrease and our business could be harmed.
We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes, extend our platform or develop new features.
The markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological changes and the frequent introduction of new products and services. Our ability to attract new customers and retain and expand the usage of existing customers depends on our ability to enhance and improve our platform, and to introduce new features and services. Our customers may require features and capabilities that our current platform does not have. We are focused on improving the quality and range of our service offerings and are committed to investing in research and development. See “Item 1. Business – Research and Development.” Our enhancements to our platform, features or capabilities may not be compelling to our existing or potential customers and may not gain market acceptance. If our research and development investments do not accurately anticipate customer demand, or if we fail to develop our platform in a manner that satisfies customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner, we may fail to retain our existing customers or increase demand for our platform.
| 13 |
The introduction of competing services or the development of entirely new technologies to replace existing offerings could make our platform obsolete or adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may experience difficulties with software development, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new services, features, or capabilities. New services, features or capabilities may not be released according to schedule. Any delays could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenue or market acceptance, or claims by customers brought against us, all of which could harm our business. If customers do not widely adopt our new services, features and capabilities, we may not be able to realize a return on our investment. If we are unable to develop, license or acquire new features and capabilities to our platform on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if such enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business would be harmed.
We plan to incorporate AI technologies into some of our products and services, which may present operational and reputational risks.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we utilize artificial intelligence, or AI, to empower the multi-language captioning and transcription features of our Xyvid Pro platform, and we plan to implement additional features driven by artificial intelligence in the future. See “Item 1. Business – Growth Strategies – Enhancing Technology and Innovation.” As with many innovations, there are associated risks involved in utilizing AI technology. There can be no assurance that our use of AI will eventually produce the intended results. Even if it could produce the intended results, we cannot guarantee that such AI will not produce errors going forward. AI, particularly generative AI, has been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs. AI can also present ethical issues and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion concerning AI, could impair the acceptance of AI solutions, including those incorporated in our services. If the AI tools that we use are deficient, inaccurate, or controversial, we could incur operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business and financial results. In addition, regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide, as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging technologies. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and security, customer protection, competition, and equal opportunity laws, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. For example, federal artificial intelligence legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate. Since these regulatory frameworks rapidly evolve, we may become subject to new laws and regulations, which may affect the legality, profitability, or sustainability of our business, and we may be unable to predict all the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. The failure to comply with the relevant regulatory frameworks may also negatively affect our reputation. Because AI technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. Failure to appropriately respond to this evolving landscape may result in legal liability, regulatory action, or brand and reputational harm. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company does not intend to utilize open-source AI.
Interruptions in our services caused by undetected errors, failures, or bugs in our platform or services could harm our reputation and result in significant costs to us.
Our platform and services may have errors or defects that customers identify after they begin using them that could result in unanticipated interruptions of service. Internet-based services frequently contain undetected errors and bugs when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. The use of our services in complicated, large-scale network environments may increase our exposure to undetected errors, failures, or bugs in our services. We use monitoring software to detect errors or bugs in our platform and we subject new codes to stringent testing before their release. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not experienced significant interruptions in our services as a result of such errors or defects, but we may experience future interruptions of service if we fail to detect and correct these errors and defects. As our business expands, the costs incurred in correcting defects, bugs or errors may be substantial and could harm our results of operations.
| 14 |
In addition, we rely on hardware and software of third parties to offer our services. Any defects in, or unavailability of, our or third-party software or hardware that cause interruptions of our services could, among other things:
| ● | cause a reduction in revenues or a delay in market acceptance of our services; | |
| ● | require us to pay penalties or issue refunds to our customers or partners, or expose us to claims for damages; | |
| ● | cause us to lose existing customers and make it more difficult to attract new customers; | |
| ● | divert our development resources or require us to make extensive changes to our software, which would increase our expenses and slow innovation; | |
| ● | increase our technical support costs; and | |
| ● | harm our reputation and brand. |
Competition in our markets is intense, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.
The webcasting market is competitive and rapidly changing, and existing and new market entrants, particularly established companies with greater resources than we have, that provide technologies to improve communication and engagement technologies or platforms, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, could also increase the level of competition in the market. We face competition from many large and small companies, which include, but are not limited to, Zoom, ON24, GlobalMeet, Cvent, Bizzabo, and Meeting Tomorrow. See “Item 1. Business – Our Industry.”
Our competitors vary in size and in the breadth and scope of the products and services they offer. Many of our actual and potential competitors benefit from competitive advantages over us, such as stronger brand recognition; longer operating histories; more varied products and services; larger marketing budgets; more established marketing relationships; more third-party integration; greater accessibility across devices or applications; greater access to larger user bases; and greater financial, technical, and other resources. Some of our competitors may make acquisitions or strategic investments or enter into strategic relationships to offer a broader range of products and services than we do, which may prevent us from using such third parties’ technology or offering such products or services. These combinations may make it more difficult for us to compete effectively. We expect these trends to continue as competitors attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions. As we introduce new services, and with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.
Demand for our platform is price sensitive. Many factors, including our pricing and marketing strategies, customer acquisition, and technology costs, as well as the pricing and marketing strategies of our competitors, can significantly affect our pricing strategies. Certain competitors offer, or may in the future offer, lower-priced or free products or services that compete with our platform or certain aspects of our platform, and they may offer a broader range of products and services than we do. Even if such competing products do not include all of the features and functionality that we provide, we could face pricing pressure to the extent that customers find such alternative products to be sufficient to meet their needs. Similarly, certain competitors or potential competitors may use marketing strategies that enable them to acquire customers at a lower cost than we can. As a result, we could lose market share to our competitors or be forced to engage in price-cutting initiatives or other discounts to attract and retain customers, each of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The failure to effectively develop and expand our marketing and sales capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform.
Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our services will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing and sales operations. We plan to continue expanding our sales and marketing capabilities, including through additional investment in digital marketing and sales team expansion. See “Item 1. Business – Growth Strategies.” If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing operations, our future revenue growth and business could be adversely impacted.
Identifying and recruiting qualified sales representatives and training them is time consuming and resource intensive, and they may not be fully trained and productive for a significant amount of time. We also plan to dedicate resources to sales and marketing programs, including internet and other online advertising. All of these efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources, as the cost to acquire customers through these efforts is high. Our business will be harmed if our efforts do not generate a correspondingly significant increase in revenue.
| 15 |
Our largest customer generates a significant portion of our revenue, and interruption in operations of such significant customer may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the same single customer independently accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue; accounting for approximately 66.7% and 64.6% of our total revenue, respectively. See “Item 1. Business – Our Customers.” We believe that, in the foreseeable future, we may continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from such significant customer. If such customer fails to make payments, or experiences a downturn in business, our revenue and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We may lose our significant customer due to a variety of factors, including our capacity to deliver reliable services, service efficiency, as well as our competitiveness in pricing strategies. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to maintain the business relationship with our significant customer at the same level, or at all. If our significant customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure an alternative arrangement with a comparable customer in a timely manner, or at all. Losing our significant customer could adversely affect our revenue and profitability. In the short term, losing our significant customer may lead to a substantial loss of revenue and potentially disrupt cash flow. In the long term, it could impact market perception and our ability to attract new customers.
We may be dependent on a limited number of suppliers and any disruption to the relationships with the major suppliers may have material adverse effects on our business.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 12.6% of our total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2024, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 17.9% of our total purchases. See “Item 1. Business – Our Suppliers.” Such third-party suppliers are subject to their own unique operational and financial risks, which are beyond our control. If such significant suppliers breach or terminate their contracts with us, or experience significant disruptions to their operations, we will be required to find and enter into arrangements with one or more replacement suppliers. Finding alternative suppliers could involve significant delays and other costs and these suppliers may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, this could harm our business and financial results and result in lost or deferred revenue.
Our results of operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
We experience seasonality in our business. We usually generate more revenue in the last month of each calendar quarter. See “Item 1. Business – Seasonality.” We may experience capacity and resource shortages in our platform and services during the period of such seasonal surge in our business. As a result of seasonality, our financial condition and results of operations may continue to fluctuate, and the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate from time to time.
Our business and results of operations may be harmed by the misconduct of authorized employees that have access to important assets of our Company such as bank accounts and confidential information.
During the course of our business operations, some of our employees have access to certain valuable assets of our Company, such as bank accounts and confidential information. In the event of misconduct by such authorized employees, our Company could suffer significant losses. Employee misconduct may include misappropriating bank accounts, falsifying bank records, improper use or disclosure of confidential information to the public or our competitors, and failure to comply with our internal policies or with federal or state laws or regulations regarding the use and safeguarding of classified or other protected information, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Although we have implemented policies, procedures, and controls to regulate employee conduct, these precautions may not prevent all intentional or negligent misconduct, and as a result, we could face unknown risks or losses. Furthermore, such unethical, unprofessional, or even criminal behavior by employees could damage our reputation, result in fines, penalties, restitution, or other damages, and lead to the loss of current and future customers, all of which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results.
| 16 |
Interruptions, delays or outages in service from the data centers we use for our technology or infrastructure could impair the delivery and the functionality of our services, which may harm our business.
Our ability to attract and retain customers depends on our ability to provide our customers and their users with a highly reliable platform. We currently use data centers in the United States. Our platform may not be fully available to customers in the event of catastrophic failure at one of those data centers. We also do not control the operation of the data centers we use, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity incidents, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, any of which could disrupt our services. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these data centers, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our platform, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have experienced service disruptions, outages and other performance problems which caused delays to events, due to the introduction of new functionality, human error, and capacity constraints, and we may in the future experience further service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of other factors, including infrastructure changes, software errors, zero-day vulnerabilities, and denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity incidents by malicious actors. In some instances, we may not be able to rectify these performance issues within an acceptable time-frame.
If our platform is unavailable or if our customers and their users are unable to access our platform within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. Additionally, if the data centers we use are unable to keep up with our increasing need for capacity, our customers may experience delays as we seek to obtain additional capacity, which could harm our business.
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, adversely impact our reputation, and harm our business.
Cybersecurity threats and incidents directed at us could range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems to sophisticated and targeted measures aimed at disrupting business or gathering data of customers. We rely on our platform to deliver virtual and hybrid events to our customers and we use the Azure SQL Database to process, organize and store our business data. The secure processing, maintenance, and transmission of information in these systems are critical to our operations.
Nonetheless, our technology operations are vulnerable to security breaches and attacks against our system and network. While we employ measures designed to prevent, detect, address, and mitigate these threats (including using third-party cybersecurity technology), and we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents as of the date of this Annual Report, cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption, or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties, including potentially sensitive information of our customers) and the disruption of business operations. Any such compromises to our security could cause harm to our reputation, which could cause customers to lose trust and confidence in us or could cause agents to stop working for us. In addition, we may incur significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage, and compensation to customers and business partners. We may also be subject to legal claims, government investigation, and additional state and federal statutory requirements. Although we have purchased cybersecurity insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover any damages resulting from cybersecurity claims.
The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident include regulatory violations of applicable U.S. privacy and other laws, reputational damage, loss of market value, litigation with third parties (which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability), diminution in the value of the services we provide to our customers, and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs (that may include liability for stolen assets or information), which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our competitiveness and results of operations.
If we fail to manage our growth or execute our strategies and future plans effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or meet the demand of our customers.
We expect our business to grow in terms of scale and diversity of operations. In addition, we plan to improve the features of our platform and incorporate more emerging technologies to enhance our platform. This will enable us to diversify and expand our service offerings. See “Item 1. Business – Growth Strategies.” Such expansions will increase the complexity of our operations and may cause strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources. We must continue to hire, train, and effectively manage new employees. The expansion of our services will also require us to maintain consistency in the quality of our services so that our market reputation is not damaged by any deviations in quality, whether actual or perceived.
| 17 |
Our future results of operations also depend largely on our ability to execute our future plans successfully. In particular, our continued growth may subject us to the following additional challenges and constraints:
| ● | we face challenges in responding to evolving industry standards and government regulation that impact our business and the webcasting industry in general; | |
| ● | the technological or operational challenges may arise from the new services; | |
| ● | the execution of our future plans will be subject to the availability of funds to support the relevant capital investment and expenditures; and | |
| ● | the successful execution of our strategies is subject to factors beyond our control, such as general market conditions, and economic and political developments in the United States and globally. |
All of these endeavors involve risks and will require significant management, financial, and human resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage our growth or to implement our strategies successfully. There is no assurance that the investment to be made by our Company as contemplated under our future plans will be successful and generate the expected return. If we are not able to manage our growth or execute our strategies effectively, or at all, our business, results of operations, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
If we fail to attract, recruit, or retain our key personnel, including our executive officers, senior management, and key employees, our ongoing operations and growth could be affected.
Our success depends, to a large extent, on the efforts of our key personnel, including our executive officers, senior management, and other key employees who have valuable experience, knowledge, and connections in the webcasting industry. There is no assurance that these key personnel will not voluntarily terminate their employment with us. We do not carry any key person insurance on any of our senior management team. The loss of any of our key personnel could be detrimental to our ongoing operations. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to manage our existing operations as well as our future growth. We may not be able to successfully attract, recruit, or retain key personnel, and this could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and business prospects.
In addition, we depend on the expertise and efforts of members of our operations and technology teams for the continued performance of our platform. Our ability to retain, attract, hire and train staff in these groups may prove to be a challenge for a variety of factors and could have an adverse impact on the platform.
We may not maintain adequate insurance, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.
We maintain certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. See “Item 1. Business – Insurance.” However, there can be no assurance that such insurance coverage will always be available or will always be sufficient to cover any damages resulting from any kind of claims. In addition, there are certain types of risks that may not be covered by our insurance policies, such as war, force majeure events, or certain business interruptions. Claims that are not covered by the policies or the failure to renew the insurance policies may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may expand through acquisitions of, investments in, or strategic partnerships or other strategic transactions with, other companies, each of which may divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders, increase expenses, disrupt our operations, and harm our results of operations.
Our business strategy may, from time to time, include acquiring or investing in new or complementary services, technologies or businesses, strategic investments and partnerships, or other strategic transactions. We plan to identify, invest in, partner with, and acquire appropriate businesses that offer complementary advantages to our business, thereby improving overall competitiveness and sustaining growth. See “Item 1. Business – Growth Strategies.” We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates or transaction counterparties, securely or effectively integrate or manage disparate technologies, lines of business, personnel and corporate cultures, realize our business strategy or the expected return on our investment, or manage a geographically dispersed company. Any such acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. The process of negotiating, effecting, and realizing the benefits from acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships, and strategic transactions is complex, expensive and time-consuming, and may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, development and sales activities and operations of both companies, and we may incur substantial cost and expense, as well as divert the attention of management. We may issue equity securities which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership, incur debt, assume contingent or other liabilities and expend cash in acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships, and other strategic transactions which could negatively impact our financial position, stockholder equity, and stock price.
| 18 |
Acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships, and other strategic transactions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:
| ● | the potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction, including recoupment or write-down of our investments in the partnership; | |
| ● | unanticipated costs and liabilities; | |
| ● | the potential of disputes with our partners, including arbitration or litigation resulting from a breach or alleged breach of either party’s contractual obligation, which may result in cost, distraction and potential liabilities and reputational damage; | |
| ● | difficulties in integrating new services and subscriptions, software, businesses, operations, and technology infrastructure in an efficient and effective manner; | |
| ● | difficulties in maintaining customer relations; | |
| ● | the potential loss of key employees of any acquired businesses; | |
| ● | the diversion of the attention of our senior management from the operation of our daily business; | |
| ● | the potential adverse effect on our cash position to the extent that we use cash for the transaction consideration; | |
| ● | the potential significant increase of our interest expense, leverage, and debt service requirements if we incur additional debt to pay for an acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction; | |
| ● | the potential issuance of securities that would dilute our stockholders’ percentage ownership; | |
| ● | the potential to incur large and immediate write-offs and restructuring and other related expenses; | |
| ● | the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies, and procedures; and | |
| ● | the inability to set up the necessary processes and systems to efficiently operate the partnerships. |
Any acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction could expose us to unknown liabilities. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction. In addition, our inability to successfully operate and integrate newly acquired businesses or newly formed strategic partnerships appropriately, effectively, and in a timely manner could impair our ability to take advantage of future growth opportunities and other advances in technology, as well as our revenues and gross margins.
| 19 |
Our previous performance may not be sustainable or indicative of our future financial outcomes, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the same level of financial performance in the future.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $19.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Our financial results in the past may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitability on a consistent basis. Our revenue growth may slow, or our revenue may decline for a number of reasons, including reduced demand for our products and services, increased competition, industry trends, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. Meanwhile, we expect our overall operating expenses to continue to increase in the foreseeable future, as we will incur additional expenses in connection with the expansion of our business operations and as a newly public company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we currently expect, and there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain sufficient operating revenue to offset our operating expenses. Any failure to increase revenue or to manage our costs as we continue to grow and invest in our business would prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or maintaining positive operating cash flow at all, or on a consistent basis, which would cause our business, financial condition, and results of operations to suffer.
Adverse or weakened general economic and market conditions may cause a reduction in customer demand, which could harm our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows depend on the overall demand for and use of our platform and services, which depends in part on the amount of spending allocated by our customers or potential customers on the relevant services. This spending depends on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions. The United States and other key international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity was impacted by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, inflation (including wage inflation), labor market constraints, restricted credit, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity, and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies, and overall economic uncertainty. These economic conditions can arise suddenly, including the recent rise in inflation and overall macroeconomic environment, which may negatively impact our customers’ budgets. In addition, geopolitical developments, such as potential trade wars, and actions or inactions of the United States or other major national governments, can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets.
Market volatility, decreased consumer confidence, and diminished growth expectations in the United States economy and abroad as a result of the foregoing events could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our services, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, reduce the value or duration of their contracts, or affect attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales and operating results. Some of our customers may view the usage of our platform as a discretionary purchase, and our customers may reduce their discretionary spending on our platform during an economic downturn. In addition, weak economic conditions, including during times of high inflation and tightening budgets, can result in customers seeking to utilize lower-cost solutions that are available from alternative sources. Prolonged economic slowdowns may result in requests to renegotiate existing contracts on less advantageous terms to us than those currently in place, payment defaults on existing contracts, or non-renewal at the end of a contract term.
Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic events.
Occurrence of any catastrophic event, including pandemics, earthquakes, fires, floods, tsunamis or other weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions, cyberattacks, war or terrorist attacks, could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. In particular, our corporate headquarters are located in Pennsylvania, a region known for flooding, and our insurance coverage may not sufficiently compensate us for losses that may occur in the event of a severe flooding event or other significant natural disaster. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions to the internet, the electric grid or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event, our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers would be impaired or we could lose critical data. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster and to execute successfully on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business could be harmed.

Risks Relating to Laws and Regulations
The actual or perceived failure by us, our customers, partners or vendors to comply with stringent and evolving laws and regulations, industry standards, policies, and contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection, information security, and other matters could harm our reputation and business and subject us to significant fines and liability.
In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information, including customer and user content, business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, third-party data, business plans, transactions, financial information. Our data processing activities subject us to numerous privacy, data protection, and information security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, and contractual requirements.
In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous privacy, data protection, and information security laws, including data breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, and other similar laws. See “Item 1. Business – Regulations.” The developments or changes to the applicable laws and regulations may complicate compliance efforts and increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely. If we fail to comply with stringent and evolving laws and regulations, industry standards, policies, and contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection, information security, and other matters, it could harm our reputation and business and subject us to significant fines and liability.
We are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, compliance with which could impair our ability to compete and non-compliance with which may result in claims, fines, penalties, and other consequences, all of which could adversely impact our operations, business, or performance.
As a service provider, we do not regularly monitor our platform to evaluate the legality of content shared on it by our customers. The laws in this area are evolving and vary widely between jurisdictions. Accordingly, it may be possible that in the future we and our business partners may be subject to legal actions involving our customers’ content or use of our platform.
Our platform depends on the ability of our customers and their users to access the internet. If we fail to anticipate developments in the law, or we fail for any reason to comply with relevant law, our platform could be blocked or restricted, and we could be exposed to significant liability that could harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which requires virtual events to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, and various laws and regulations of states where we conduct business activities or where digital content is distributed, livestreamed, or made available through our platform or services. We are also subject to various international regulations on information security, copyrights and intellectual properties. See “Item 1. Business – Regulations.” To the extent we expand our market presence, our exposure for violating these laws and regulations will likely increase. If we fail to comply with the legal standards and requirements, we may face substantial civil and criminal fines, penalties, profit disgorgement, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, disbarment from government business, the loss of export privileges, tax reassessments, breach of contract, fraud and other litigation, reputational harm, and other foreseeable or unforeseen collateral consequences that could harm our business.
Non-compliance with laws and regulations on the part of any third parties with which we conduct business could expose us to legal expenses, compensation to third parties, penalties, and disruptions of our business, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.
Third-party customers with which we conduct business, including healthcare organizations, as well as marketing and advertising agencies, may be subject to regulatory penalties or punishments because of their regulatory compliance failures or infringement upon other parties’ legal rights, which may, directly or indirectly, disrupt our business. We cannot be certain whether such third parties have violated any regulatory requirements or infringed or will infringe any other parties’ legal rights, which could expose us to legal expenses or compensation to third parties, or both.
We, therefore, cannot rule out the possibility of incurring liabilities or suffering losses due to any non-compliance by third parties. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify irregularities or non-compliance in the business practices of third parties with which we conduct business, or that such irregularities or non-compliance will be corrected in a prompt and proper manner. Any legal liabilities and regulatory actions affecting third parties involved in our business may affect our business activities and reputation, and may in turn affect our business, results of operations, and financial performance.
Moreover, regulatory penalties or punishments against our business stakeholders such as third-party service providers, whether or not resulting in any legal or regulatory implications upon us, may nonetheless cause business interruptions or even suspension of these business stakeholders, which could in turn disrupt our usual course of business and result in material negative impact on our business operations, results of operation and financial condition.
| 21 |
Failure to protect intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business.
We regard our domain names and other intellectual property we may develop or acquire as critical to our success. See “Item 1. Business – Intellectual Property.” We have taken measures to protect our intellectual property, but these measures might not be sufficient or effective. We may bring lawsuits to protect against the potential infringement of our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary technology and other intellectual property is difficult and expensive, and litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce their intellectual property rights. Future litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and could disrupt our business, as well as materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, despite the potentially substantial costs, we cannot assure you that we will prevail in such litigation. In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their proprietary intellectual property rights, which could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from promoting our services.
We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may from time to time in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. For instance, we may face claims of trademark or copyright infringement for the use of images, pictures, or materials used on our website, in promotional materials, such as brochures or videos, or in the distribution and storage of digital content. There could also be existing intellectual property of which we are not aware that our services may inadvertently infringe. If any third-party infringement claims are brought against us, we may be forced to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these claims, regardless of their merits. Additionally, the application and interpretation of intellectual property right laws and the procedures and standards for granting trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights are evolving and may be uncertain, and we cannot assure you that courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our analysis. Such claims, even if they do not result in liability, may harm our reputation. If we were found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. As a result, our business and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.
We may from time to time be subject to claims, controversies, lawsuits, and legal proceedings, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, controversies, lawsuits, legal proceedings, or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business involving labor and employment, wage and hour, intellectual property, data breach and other matters. See “Item 1. Business – Legal Proceedings” for the current investigations of which the Company is subject. We expect that the number and significance of these potential disputes or claims may increase as our business expands and our company grows larger. Contractual provisions and insurance coverage may not cover potential claims and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liabilities we may face. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the results of any claims may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In addition, negative publicity regarding claims or judgments made against our Company may damage our reputation and may result in a material adverse impact on us.
| 22 |
We are subject to various U.S. anti-corruption laws, and any failure to comply with such laws, and any laws to which we may become subject, whether in existence now or hereafter, could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to various U.S. anti-corruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries, from directly or indirectly authorizing, offering, or providing improper payments or benefits to government officials and other recipients for improper purposes. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We anticipate that our exposure for violating these laws will increase as we continue to expand our presence, and any failure to comply with such laws could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Capital Stock and Trading
The price of our common stock could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility.
There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a micro-cap company with a relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.
In addition, if the trading volumes of our common stock are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence the price of our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock. A decline in the market price of our common stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of common stock or other of our securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common stock will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares of common stock they hold or may not be able to sell at all.
By issuing preferred stock, we may be able to delay, defer or prevent a change of control.
Our certificate of incorporation permits us to issue, without approval from our stockholders, a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are outstanding. Our Board can determine the designations, powers, preferences and voting and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. It is possible that our Board, in determining the rights, preferences and privileges to be granted when the preferred stock is issued, may include provisions that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, as amended, could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids.
| ● | require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws; | |
| ● | authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our Board could use to implement a stockholder rights plan; |
| 23 |
| ● | eliminate the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders; | |
| ● | prohibit cumulative voting; and | |
| ● | establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our Board or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings. |
In addition, Nevada Revised Statutes imposes certain restrictions on business combinations and certain changes or potential changes in control of a Nevada corporation. Anti-takeover provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Our articles of incorporation designate the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings, which could limit a stockholder’s ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or employees.
Our articles of incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation or our bylaws; or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
There is uncertainty as to whether a court will enforce these forum selection clauses. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes, which may discourage such lawsuits. We interpret the forum selection clauses in our articles of incorporation to be limited to the specified actions and not to apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act provides that United States federal courts shall have jurisdiction over all suits and any action brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and Section 22 of the Securities Act provides that United States federal and state courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
If a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our articles of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.
Our failure to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our common stock, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.
We are a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Reports on 10-K. In addition, once we have reached “accelerated filer” or “large accelerated filer” status and have ceased to be an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. We may be unable to complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation in a timely manner.
| 24 |
We bear substantial increased costs as a result of being a public company.
We completed our initial public offering in February 2025 and have started bearing significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. These additional costs could negatively affect our financial results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.
Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of our initial public offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we have been required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.
We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Failure to comply with the Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirements may result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, the exchange on which our common stock is traded, which includes requirements that we maintain our stockholders’ equity, total value of shares of common stock held by unaffiliated stockholders, minimum bid price, and market capitalization above certain specified levels. For example, on June 30, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that the Company had not been in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. In order to cure the deficiency, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split on December 1, 2025 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. Because we effected such reverse stock split to cure our minimum bid price deficiency in December 2025, should our stock price fail to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement at any time prior to December 1, 2026, we will not be eligible for any compliance period and our stock will be immediately delisted.
If we fail to conform to the Nasdaq listing requirements on an ongoing basis, our common stock might cease to trade on Nasdaq, and may move to the OTCQB or OTC Pink Markets operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. These quotation services are generally considered to be markets that are less efficient and that provide less liquidity in the shares of common stock than Nasdaq. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
| 25 |
Future equity offerings or other equity issuances of us could further dilute common stock.
We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. These issuances may occur at times or on terms that could be disadvantageous to our existing stockholders. Our stockholders’ percentage ownership and voting power may be diluted, and they may experience a reduction in the value of their investment. Additionally, such issuances, if substantial, could negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish a negative report regarding our common stock, the price of our common stock and trading volume could decline.
Any trading market for our common stock may depend in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price of our common stock and the trading volume to decline.
We are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. However, we will continue to rely on certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements during a transition period that could adversely affect our public stockholders.
The “controlled company” exception to the Nasdaq Capital Market rules provides that a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company, a “controlled company,” need not comply with certain requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance rules. Until December 30, 2025, V-Cube, Inc., our largest stockholder, directly and indirectly, owned a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock and was able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. As a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, during 2025, we were exempt from the Nasdaq Capital Market’s corporate governance rules requiring that listed companies have (i) a majority of the Board consist of “independent” directors under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, (ii) selection or recommendation for the Board’s selection of director nominees made by (a) independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only the independent directors participate or (b) a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors (subject to exceptions under limited and exceptional circumstances) and a written nominating and corporate governance committee charter meeting the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors (subject to exceptions under limited and exceptional circumstances) and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the date of this Annual Report, V-Cube, Inc. no longer owns a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As such, we no longer qualify as a “controlled company” and accordingly, on February 2, 2026, we formed a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board. We have also ceased our reliance on the exemption applicable to newly public companies relating to a majority independent board and have appointed independent directors representing a majority of our Board.
We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and a “smaller reporting company” under the applicable rules of the SEC, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” and “smaller reporting companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
| 26 |
We may continue to be a “smaller reporting company” even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. 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 (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is equal to or less than $250 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is equal to or less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is equal to or less than $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
We cannot predict if 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. In addition, taking advantage of reduced disclosure obligations may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible. If investors are unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry, we may not be able to raise additional capital as and when we need it, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We currently have a substantial number of shares of common stock subject to potential issuance associated with our Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”). The issuance or sale of shares under our ELOC would substantially increase the number of shares outstanding and result in dilution to our security holders. This might substantially decrease the market price of our common stock.
We have a substantial number of shares of our common stock that may be issued in the future. On June 23, 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase from us, from time to time and subject to certain limitations and conditions, up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of our common stock over the 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued 2,402,754 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under our ELOC. To the extent that shares of common stock are issued or sold under our ELOC, dilution to our security holders may occur. The issuance of these additional securities may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
As
a part of our overall risk management, the Company has engaged a
| 27 |
The Head of Technology, with over 15 years of cybersecurity-related experience, is responsible for identifying, considering and assessing material cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, establishing processes to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are monitored, putting in place appropriate mitigation measures and maintaining our cybersecurity program. The Head of Technology shares weekly and monthly updates with the management team, and in the event a material risk is identified, the management team is notified immediately. The Board, with input from the Head of Technology and other members of the management team, as appropriate, regularly discusses cybersecurity risks at meetings of the Board.
Although risks from cybersecurity threats have not, to date, materially affected us, and we do not believe they are reasonably likely to materially affect us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, we may, from time to time, experience threats to and security incidents related to our data and systems. In the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not detect any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
Item 2. Properties.
Our principal executive office is located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Our office space covers an area of approximately 6,050 square feet, with a lease term from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2026. Our subsidiary, TEN Events, has the option to extend the lease term for another five years by giving written notice to the landlord within six months prior to the expiration of the current lease term. The landlord, GHDLCK LLC, is a company controlled by Karen Kovalcik, the wife of Dave Kovalcik, a director of V-Cube, Inc., our largest stockholder and our related party. We plan to renew the lease in accordance with its terms when needed.
Our subsidiary, TEN Events, rents office space in Los Angeles, California under a lease with an initial term from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2025, which term has been auto-renewed to January 31, 2027. Such lease will automatically renew for one additional year, each year, immediately following the expiration period of the preceding lease term, unless the lease is terminated by either party by giving the other party at least 60-day’s prior written notice in accordance with the lease agreement. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have no reason to believe that this lease agreement will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of the current term.
We believe our office space is adequate for the time being. However, there may be a need to secure additional office space in the future, should it serve our requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On October 27, 2025, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in connection with an investigation in the Southern District of New York. The subpoena calls for the production of documents relating to the Company’s initial public offering. The Company has produced records in response to that grand jury subpoena. On October 28, 2025, the Company learned that the SEC is conducting a related investigation pursuant to its authority. On March 10, 2026, the Company received a subpoena for documents from the SEC, which also calls for the production of documents related to the Company’s initial public offering and other items. The Company intends to fully cooperate with both investigations and comply with its obligations under the subpoenas. It is not possible at this time to predict when the investigations will be resolved, the outcome of the investigations, or their potential impact on the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Overview
We are a provider of event planning, production, and broadcasting services headquartered in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. We produce virtual, hybrid, self-service and physical events. Virtual, hybrid and self-service events could involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro platform and TEN Pro platform. Physical events mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we primarily generate revenue from virtual and hybrid events delivered to corporate customers. We experienced a decrease in our total revenue in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to an event series with our biggest customer that took place in the three-month ended March 31, 2024, but did not repeat in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This event is held by our biggest customer every other year. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $19.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 88.2% and 91.9% of our total revenue, respectively; and the revenue generated from physical events was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 11.8% and 8.1 % of our total revenue, respectively.
Our mission is to deliver top-tier planning, production, and broadcasting services for virtual, hybrid and physical events. Our goal is to become a global leader in innovative virtual events that enhance engagement and connectivity, making impactful and memorable experiences accessible to all.
| 29 |
Key Financial Performance Indicators
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from the provision of virtual and hybrid events and physical events on our Xyvid Pro platform.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue is primarily driven by the costs paid to our employees for producing events and the costs of renting equipment and our studio.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily composed of personnel costs for sales and marketing staff and general corporate functions, computer and software costs, and advertising and marketing expenses.
We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate as a result of operating as a public company.
Operating profit and operating profit margin
Operating profit is the difference between our revenue and cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating profit margin is the operating profit as a percentage of revenue.
Other income (expenses)
From time to time, we have non-recurring, non-operating gains and losses which are reflected through other income (expenses).
Interest expenses
Interest expenses consist of interest expenses arising from borrowings.

Revenue
Revenue decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 11%, to approximately $3.1 million. The decline was primarily driven by following factors:
| ● | Virtual & Hybrid events decreased by $0.5 million, mainly due to an event series with our biggest customer that took place in the three-months ended March 31, 2024, but did not repeat in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This event is held by our biggest customer every other year. | |
| ● | Physical events increased by $0.1 million mainly due to a significant amount of more deals closed and delivered within the period vs the same time period last year. |
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased by approximately $0.01 million, or 1.7%, to approximately $0.7 million. Cost of revenue remained relatively flat while physical events revenue increased mainly due to continued efficiencies in the way events are delivered so equipment and staff are maximized within the specific region or location of events.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A expenses”)
SG&A expenses increased by approximately $9.9 million, or 183%, to approximately $15.3 million, of which $10 million were non-cash related expenses for items such as stock-based-compensation. The company also incurred $1.7 million in expenses related to being a public company, while the remaining came from $3.1 million of payroll and $0.4 million in business operations.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense increased by $0.4 million to $0.6 million due to continued development of TEN Pro during the 2025 calendar year.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense) increased by approximately $5.8 million to approximately $5.8 million primarily due to an impairment loss recognized on our software and loss on debt restructuring.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 35%, to approximately $0.3 million primarily due to interest owed to V-Cube Inc. for loans made to us .
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was approximately $19.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the net loss of approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had cash of approximately $1.6 million and $0.05 million, respectively. Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had access to $18.0 million of liquidity through our ELOC. We generally have funded our operations with cash flow from operations, and, when needed, borrowing from financial institutions and capital injections from our principal stockholders. V-Cube acted as one of our main sources of funding in 2025. As TEN continues to grow, it expects to continue funding its operations by issuing shares to a wider stockholder base and/or accessing the ELOC for additional capital subject to market conditions. Our principal use of liquidity has been to fund our daily operations and working capital. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and cash obligations for the next 12 months, although our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to attract and retain revenue generating customers, acquire new customer contracts, and secure additional financing. We expect we will require additional financing through debt and equity investments to fund our operating expenses and cash obligations beyond the next 12 months. See “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” for a discussion of our material cash requirements and “Cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024” for a discussion of the anticipated sources of funds needed to satisfy those cash requirements.
Other than as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report, we are not aware of any other trends, demands, uncertainties, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, including the mix and relative cost of such capital resources, or cause such financial statements to be not necessarily indicative of future operations results or financial condition.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased from approximately $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $10.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in cash outflows was primarily driven by higher operating expense associated with the Company’s transition to a public company, including increased professional fees, payroll, and other corporate infrastructure cost, as well as the higher net loss reported in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased from approximately $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash outflows was primarily due to lower expenditures on the purchase of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased from approximately $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to proceeds from the issuance of shares and short-term loans, partially offset by repayment of short-term loans during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a total of approximately $6.2 million contractual obligations for future payments.

Capital Expenditures

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we spent $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, on acquisitions of computer hardware / equipment and capitalized software.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and capitalized software, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows:
1 - Identification of the contract with a customer
2 - Identification of the performance obligation in the contract
3 - Determination of the transaction price
4 - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract
5 - Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied
Hybrid, virtual and physical event revenue
Revenue from hybrid, virtual and physical events is generated from producing and delivering hybrid or virtual events using the Company’s platform, the Xyvid Pro platform, or delivering physical events. Virtual events are online events and conferences where participants interact in an online environment, and physical events are events where participants meet in a physical location.
| 34 |
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. The transaction price is generally fixed at contract inception and is based on the agreed upon rates stated in the contract which indicates the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for satisfaction of performance obligation (i.e., delivering events). The amount on the final invoice depends on the actual work performed and might differ from the amount stated in the initial contract. When there is variable consideration included in the transaction price if, in the management’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur, the Company and the customer agree on the price on the final invoice, and revenue is recognized based on the amount on the final invoice. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to government entities.
Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised services to the customer, which is upon completion of the event. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services.
The Company sometimes enters into the contract with a bundle of events. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. The Company’s contracts with multiple performance obligations are generally sold over the same contract terms as that of the contract with single performance obligation and have the same pattern of transferring services to the customer, and therefore, they are accounted for as one combined performance obligation in the context of the contract.
From time to time, the Company engages subcontractors for delivering events. The Company assesses and records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenue and expenses. For events delivered with subcontractors, the Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified vendors, (ii) has the discretion to select the vendors and establish their price and duties, and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by its customers.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are recorded at the cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Property and Equipment | Estimated Useful Life | |
| Computer and equipment | 7 years | |
| Furniture and fixture | 10 years | |
| Leasehold improvement | Shorter of 10 years or lease term |
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of capitalized software. The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with the guidance in ASC 350-40, Internal-use software. The costs incurred prior to the application development stage and post implementation are expensed as incurred. Direct and incremental internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized until the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which point amortization begins. Training, data conversion and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of capitalized software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, which is approximately five to seven years, and are recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if the carrying amount is not recoverable when compared to the Company’s undiscounted cash flows, and the impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sales are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of that date.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and | |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Because we qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations from our current directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all Section 16 filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors and those who beneficially own more than 10% of shares of our common stock were complied with, except that the initial report of ownership for Mr. Virgilio D.

There were no waivers from compliance with or amendments to the Code of Ethics during year ended December 31, 2025.

Corporate Governance
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Loss of Controlled Company Status
During the year ended December 31, 2025, V-Cube, Inc. beneficially owned, directly and indirectly, more than a majority of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding common stock. V-Cube, Inc. is a Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and its chief executive officer, Naoaki Mashita, served as our Director from February 2024 to February 2026. As a result of this shareholding structure, we were a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules until December 30, 2025. As a “controlled company,” we were permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules, including:
| ● | the requirement that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors; | |
| ● | the requirement that our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors or that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised entirely of independent directors; and | |
| ● | the requirement that we have a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees. |
We have historically relied on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules However, as of the date of this Annual Report, V-Cube, Inc. no longer owns a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As such, we no longer qualify as a “controlled company” and accordingly, on February 2, 2026, we formed a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We have also ceased our reliance on the exemption applicable to newly public companies relating to a majority independent board and have appointed independent directors representing a majority of our Board.
| 38 |
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee. We have established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. The charter can be found in the “Governance” section of the “Investors” tab on the Company’s website at https://www.tenholdingsinc.com/. Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Yuji Ishida, Mr. Gan Yong Sheng, and Ms. Christina Maldonado. Mr. Yuji Ishida is the chair of our Audit Committee. We have determined that Mr. Yuji Ishida, Mr. Gan Yong Sheng and Ms. Christina Maldonado satisfy the “independence” requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board has also determined that Mr. Yuji Ishida qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the SEC rules or possesses financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

We are currently relying on a phase-in period under Nasdaq listing rules which allows us to phase in our compliance with certain Nasdaq listing rules over a one year period beginning on the date that the Company ceased to be a “controlled company.” Pursuant to this phase-in period, the Company will be required to add a second member to the Compensation Committee within one year of the date that the Company ceased to be a “controlled company.”
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Board and Committee Independence
The Board, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determines whether each of our directors is considered independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the independence standards under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine, in its opinion and at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. The Board, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that three of our current five directors, Yuji Ishida, Gan Yong Sheng and Christina Maldonado, satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, all members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are also independent directors as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations applicable to such committee members.

Related Party Transactions Policy

Under these policies, related party transactions are reviewed to determine whether the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms no less favorable than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In evaluating such transactions, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the related person’s interest, the material terms of the transaction, the benefits to the Company, and whether the transaction could give rise to a conflict of interest.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TEN Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
Going Concern
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 has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and will need additional funding for operations and product development, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audit 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.

TEN HOLDINGS, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Organization, Nature of Business
TEN Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 12, 2024 in Pennsylvania to act as the holding company of Ten Events, Inc. (“Ten Events”), which was incorporated in Pennsylvania on December 5, 2011 and is an operating entity. Ten Events was formed for the purpose of planning, producing, and broadcasting virtual and hybrid events using its event platform, the Xyvid Pro Platform, and delivering physical events. Ten Events’ platform provides a dynamic, interactive, and engaging virtual event experience to its clients and enables clients to engage and interact with their target audience anywhere in the world through event webcasting.
At incorporation, the Company issued shares of common stock with stated par value. On July 2, 2024, as part of its reorganization, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with V-Cube, Inc., the Company’s then-principal stockholder. The Company acquired shares of Ten Events from V-Cube, Inc. in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company’s. After the share exchange, Ten Events became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On July 24, 2024, the Company changed its domicile of incorporation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the state of Nevada. Thereupon, each share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a share of common stock, par value $ of the Company. After domestication, the total common stock issued and outstanding is shares.
On
October 9, 2024,
The reorganization involves entities under common control. Under the guidance in ASC 805-50, for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the restructuring, which required retrospective combination of the Company and Ten Events. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods presented rather than from the incorporation. This includes a retrospective presentation for all equity related disclosures, which were under common control throughout the relevant periods as a single economic enterprise although legal parent-subsidiary relationship were not established.
On
November 10, 2025,
Going concern
The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract and retain revenue generating customers, acquire new customer contracts, and additional financing.
The
Company has incurred and continues to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flow from operations. For the year ended
December 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $
The Company may consider obtaining additional financing in the future through the issuance of the Company’s common stock, through other equity or debt financing, or other means. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to obtain new revenue generating customer contracts and its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
| F-6 |
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
As an emerging growth company, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to delay adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective date for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest: Ten Events and V-Cube USA Acquisition Company, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in such consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and capitalized software, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows:
1 – Identification of the contract with a customer
2 – Identification of the performance obligation in the contract
3 – Determination of the transaction price
4 – Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract
5 – Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied
| F-7 |
Hybrid, virtual and physical event revenue
Revenue from hybrid, virtual and physical events is generated from producing and delivering hybrid or virtual events using the Company’s platform, the Xyvid Pro Platform and SaaS Development, or delivering physical events. Virtual events are online events and conferences where participants interact in an online environment, and physical events are events where participants meet in a physical location.
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. The transaction price is generally fixed at contract inception and is based on the agreed upon rates stated in the contract which indicates the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for satisfaction of performance obligation (i.e., delivering events). The amount on the final invoice depends on the actual work performed and might differ from the amount stated in the initial contract. When there is variable consideration included in the transaction price if, in the management’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur, the Company and the customer agree on the price on the final invoice, and revenue is recognized based on the amount on the final invoice. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to government entities.
Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised services to the customer, which is upon completion of the event. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services.
The Company sometimes enters into the contract with a bundle of events. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price. The Company’s contracts with multiple performance obligations are generally sold over the same contract terms as that of the contract with single performance obligation and have the same pattern of transferring services to the customer, and therefore, they are accounted for as one combined performance obligation in the context of the contract.
From time to time, the Company engages subcontractors for delivering events. The Company assesses and records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. For events delivered with subcontractors, the Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified vendors, (ii) has the discretion to select the vendors and establish their price and duties, and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by its customers.
Segment Information
The Company currently operates its business as one operating segment which includes two revenue types: Hybrid and Virtual Events and Physical Events. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM evaluates financial information as a whole for the purpose of assessing financial performance and making operating decisions.
Concentration of Customers and Vendors
The
consolidated balance sheet items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts
receivable. The Company continuously evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not
require collateral. The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) limits of $

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an initial maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts
receivable primarily consist of the amounts billed and currently due from customers, net of an allowance for credit losses, if recorded.
When the Company has an unconditional right to payment, subject only to the passage of time, the right is treated as receivable. The
Company’s accounts receivable balances are unsecured, bearing no interest. Fees billed in advance of the related contractual term
represent contract liabilities and are presented as deferred revenue. Typical payment terms provide for customer payment within
Accounts receivable are subject to collection risk. The Company performs evaluations of its customers’ financial positions and generally extends credit on account, without collateral.
At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. In addition, also at each reporting date, this estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist.
The
allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted
for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other
factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate
the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers’ composition have remained constant. The Company did
The Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery. The Company did not have any write-offs of receivables during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs include specific incremental costs directly attributable to the Company’s initial public offering of securities. Deferred offering costs exclude management salaries or other general and administrative expenses. These costs are being deferred and were charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. Deferred offering costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Upon the completion of the initial public offering, the deferred offering costs were fully charged to additional paid-in capital, and there was no balance as of December 31, 2025.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are recorded at the cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Property and Equipment | Estimated Useful Life | |
| Computer and equipment | ||
| Furniture and fixture | ||
| Leasehold improvement |
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
| F-9 |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of capitalized software. The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with the guidance in ASC 350-40, Internal-use software. The costs incurred prior to the application development stage and post implementation are expensed as incurred. Direct and incremental internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized until the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which point amortization begins. Training, data conversion and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of capitalized software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, which is approximately five to seven years, and are recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if the carrying amount is not recoverable when compared to the Company’s undiscounted cash flows, and the impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sales are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
Leases
Leases are comprised of operating leases for office space. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records a ROU asset and a lease liability representing the present value of future lease payments. The discount rate used to measure the lease asset and liability is determined at the beginning of the lease term using the rate implicit in the lease, or the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rate within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on third-party lender quotes to obtain secured debt in a like currency for a similar asset over a timeframe similar to the term of the lease. For those contracts that include fixed rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs in the measurement of the lease asset and liability.
The
Company accounts for each lease and any non-lease components associated with that lease as a single lease component for all asset classes.
Lease expenses for the Company’s operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term except for variable
lease costs, which are expensed as incurred. The Company does not recognize ROU assets and operating lease liabilities that arise from
leases with an initial lease term of
Fair Value Measurements
The Company reports financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
| F-10 |
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term loans approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Deferred Revenue
Contract
liabilities consist of deferred revenue. Revenue is deferred when the Company has the right to invoice in advance of performance under
a customer contract. The current portion of deferred revenue balances is recognized over the next 12 months. The amount of revenue recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of each period was $
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs paid to its employees for delivering events and costs of renting equipment and studio.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising
and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, these costs were $
Employee Benefit Plan
Substantially
all employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) defined contribution plan which is sponsored by the Company. Participants may
contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan up to the maximum amount permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. At the Company’s discretion, the Company can match a portion of the participants’ contributions. During the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities and net operating loss by using enacted tax rate in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets are believed to be more likely than not to be realized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
| F-11 |
The Company files tax returns in the tax jurisdictions of the United States. Tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are based upon management’s evaluation of the information available at the reporting date. To be recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit must be at least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits. The benefit for positions meeting the recognition threshold is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Basic net loss per common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the Company operates.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606): Scope Refinements and Share-Based Noncash Consideration. This ASU clarifies the scope of derivative accounting for certain contracts and the accounting for share-based noncash consideration received from customers. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU clarifies the interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and entities should apply the amendments prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires public business entities to disclose, for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are permitted to apply either the prospective or retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
| F-12 |
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s segment reporting.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of ASC Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC’s regulations. The ASU has an unusual effective date and transition requirements since it is contingent on future SEC rule setting. If the SEC fails to enact required changes by June 30, 2027, this ASU is not effective for any entities. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statement.
