Overview
Driven
by technology and data, iPower operates as an online retailer and supplier of consumer goods and provides value-added e-commerce services
to third-party products and brands. Our capabilities include established online sales channels, robust fulfillment operations, a network
of warehouses serving the United States, competitive last-mile delivery partners, and a differentiated business intelligence platform.
Leveraging these capabilities, we utilize proprietary, data-driven methodologies to support product launches and sales optimization, with
the objective of efficiently bringing products to market and delivering value to customers in the United States and other markets.
Our
sales channels currently include Amazon Vendor Central, Amazon Seller Central (3P), Walmart.com, TikTok, Temu, other online marketplaces,
and our owned e-commerce websites.
We
are also actively developing and marketing in-house branded products, as well as products offered through supply-chain partners. Our current
brand portfolio includes iPower, Simple Deluxe, and other brands, offering products across categories such as home goods, fans, pet products,
outdoor and gardening products, and consumer electronics. While we continue to focus on our core product categories, we seek to expand
our product catalog through additional in-house development and partnerships with suppliers, guided by market data analytics.
iPower
is positioning itself at the intersection of digital assets and real-world commerce by leveraging its established e-commerce, logistics,
and data infrastructure to support the distribution and integration of compliant digital-asset products through licensed partners.
We
initiated the Digital Treasury Strategy on June 17, 2025, with the plan of creating a Digital Treasury Strategy business. As this Digital
Treasury Strategy is a newly planned addition to our business model, we cannot predict its success or how it will affect our business
over the long term.
The
Digital Treasury Strategy is intended to provide measured, long-term exposure to digital assets that management believes may become increasingly
integrated into commerce, while aligning the Company’s treasury strategy with its operational focus on digital-asset-related initiatives.
Global Economic Disruption
While at present the
majority of our products are sourced either in the United States or China, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may nonetheless
increase the likelihood of supply chain interruptions and hinder our ability to find the materials we need to make our products. Thus
far, as a result of the general global economic disruption, we have experienced a decrease in the speed with which we have been able
to purchase new inventory, as well as an increase in costs due to delays in shipping, resulting increase in time with which products
remain in our warehouse facilities, thus resulting in reduced profits. In addition, supply chain disruptions may make it harder for us
to find favorable pricing and reliable sources for the materials we need, putting upward pressure on our costs and increasing the risk
that we may be unable to acquire the materials and services we need to continue to make certain products.

Recent
Developments
Reverse Stock Split
At
the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal authorizing the board of
directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares
of the Company’s common stock, at a reverse split ratio in the range of one-for-two (1:2) to one-for-two hundred (1:200), as determined
by the Board, whereby every two to two hundred shares of the authorized, issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one
share of authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. Pursuant to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the
Annual Meeting, the Board approved a reverse split of between one-for-twenty (1:20) and one-for-thirty (1:30) (the “Reverse Stock
Split”) of the common stock on October 13, 2025, subject to final determination of the Company’s management. Company management
subsequently determined to effectuate a one-for-thirty (1:30) Reverse Stock Split and October 22, 2025, the Company filed a certificate
of amendment to amend the certificate of incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, with an effective
date of October 27, 2025.
The
Reverse Stock Split became effective at the start of trading on October 27, 2025 (the “Effective Time”), at which time, every
thirty (30) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically
reclassified into one (1) share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or vesting of the Company’s outstanding warrants and restricted stock units
in proportion to the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and caused a proportionate increase in the exercise prices of such stock options.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the total number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock.
On
October 27, 2025, trading of the Company’s common stock continued on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted
basis.
Promissory Notes
On
November 24, 2025, the Company issued three promissory notes totaling $2 million (the “Promissory Notes”) in exchange for
gross proceeds of $2 million. The Promissory Notes were entered into with certain investors and related parties, including an entity controlled
by the Company’s CEO, Chenlong Tan.
The
Promissory Notes bear 6.5% interest per annum and were repayable upon the earlier of 90 days or the Company’s entry into new financing
arrangements. The funds received in connection with the Company’s issuance of the Promissory Notes were used to pay off the Company’s
existing asset-backed lending facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) pursuant to the Company’s credit
agreement with JPMorgan, originally dated November 12, 2021, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). As a result of the repayment,
the Company has initiated the termination of the related Uniform Commercial Code filings.
The
Promissory Notes were repaid on February 12, 2026.
Stockholder Action
On December 21, 2025, a majority
of the Company’s stockholders (representing 53.1% of the Company’s outstanding voting power) took the following actions to
approve: (1) the Convertible Note Facility (defined below); (2) the issuance of in excess of 20% of the Company’s outstanding common
stock at a price less than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq List Rule 5635(d); (3) authorizing an amendment to the
Company’s articles of incorporation for the sole purpose of increasing the Company’s authorized shares from 200,000,000 shares,
consisting of 180,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to 1,000,000,000 shares, consisting of 950,000,000
shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock; (4) authorizing the Board to approve one or more reverse stock splits,
in the range of 1-for-250 shares, with the Board to determine when, if ever, to effectuate such reverse stock split; and (5) authorizing
the Company’s Board to adopt a mirror preferred stock in order to allow the Company to more easily achieve quorum in the event the
Company needs to call a meeting to effectuate a reverse stock split for purposes of maintaining its Nasdaq listing or increase the Company’s
Authorized shares.
42
The Company filed a preliminary
information statement on Schedule 14C (the “Schedule 14C”) with the SEC on January 7, 2026. Following any SEC review, the
Company will then finalize and mail the Schedule 14C to stockholders as of the December 22, 2025 record date.
Convertible Note Facility
On December 22, 2025, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a certain institutional investor (the “Investor”) named therein
(the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Investor of a 6% original issue discount (OID) convertible note
facility in the aggregate original principal amount of $30,000,000 (the “Convertible Note Facility”), in which the Investor
initial purchased (i) a series A senior secured convertible note in the aggregate original principal amount of $5,184,024 (the “Series
A Convertible Note”), and shares of the Company’s common stock, issuable pursuant to the terms of the Series A Convertible
Notes (the “Series A Conversion Shares”) in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act, and (ii) $1,815,976 aggregate principal amount of a series B
senior secured convertible note (the “Series B Convertible Notes,” together with the Series A Convertible Notes, the “Convertible
Notes”), and shares of the Company’s common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Series B Convertible Notes (the “Series
B Conversion Shares”) in a registered direct offering pursuant to a currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-274665), which has been declared effective by the SEC on September 29, 2023. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the parties closed on an additional approximately $2,000,000 of Series A Convertible Notes (the “Additional Series A Notes”),
bringing the total amount of 6% OID Convertible Notes sold to $9,000,000, with the Additional Series A Notes to be paid for and issuable
upon the effectiveness of a resale registration statement registering the Series A Convertible Notes. At closing, as consideration for
issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company received gross proceeds of $6,580,000, before deducting expenses.
Digital Offering LLC acted
as placement agent and received $394,800 in placement agent fees.
The Convertible Notes are
convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed Conversion Price of $17.70 per share, subject to adjustment as
provided in the Convertible Notes. The holder may elect to convert at an Alternate Conversion Price, which provides for conversion at
a discounted price based on recent trading VWAP. The Alternate Optional Conversion Price is equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price
or (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price (as defined below) or (y) 95% of the lowest VWAP during the seven (7) consecutive trading day
period ending on the trading day immediately preceding delivery of the conversion notice. The Alternate Event of Default Conversion Price
is equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price or (y) 90% of the lowest VWAP during the
ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding delivery of the conversion notice. The Floor Price
is $2.27 per share, subject to adjustment.
The Convertible Notes are
senior secured obligations of the Company, secured by Collateral (as defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement), consisting of all
of the cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency related assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.
On December 23, 2025, the
Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which provides
the Investor with certain registration rights with respect to the resale of the Series A Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC
on January 12, 2026 to register the resale of the Series A Conversion Shares.
On February 9, 2026, the Company
delivered an Additional Mandatory Closing Notice to the Investor and, on February 10, 2026, consummated the Additional Mandatory Closing
in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, receiving $1,880,00 in exchange for issuing a $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Additional Mandatory Series A Note to the Investor after satisfaction of all applicable closing conditions, including the effectiveness
of the resale registration statement and the absence of any Event of Default.

Initial
Acquisitions under the Digital Treasury Strategy
On
June 17, 2025, the Company adopted a digital asset reserve, allocation and development strategy with the plan of creating a Digital
Treasury Strategy business. On December 29, 2025, the Company announced the following initial acquisitions under the Digital Treasury
Strategy: (1) the purchase of 15.1 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $87,686.33 per BTC, for a total notional value of approximately
$1,325,400 and (2) the purchase of 301.1 Ethereum (ETH) at an average price of $2,934.67 per ETH, for a total notional value of approximately
$883,600.
As this Digital Treasury Strategy
is a new addition to our business model, we cannot predict its success or if we will continue with this strategy for the long term.

Revenues
Revenues
for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 62.6% to $7,133,602 as compared to $19,072,571 for the three months ended December
31, 2024. While pricing remained stable, the decrease was mainly due to the combination of decreased orders from Amazon, disruption of
product supply, and decreased logistic service income, during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company also experienced
a significant decrease in Amazon orders as a result of the negative impact from uncertainty over tariffs during quarter ended December
31, 2025.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues for the
three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 62.6% to $3,994,680 as compared to $10,682,685 for the three months ended December 31,
2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $3,138,922
for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $8,389,886 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. While the gross profit
ratio of the product sales revenues decreased to 44% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 46.3% for the three months ended
December 31, 2024, the overall gross profit ratio of the total sales revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was
44%. The decrease in the gross profit ratio of the product sales revenues was primarily driven by increases in product costs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the
three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 27.6% to $5,576,899 as compared to $7,706,279 for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
The decrease was mainly due to the combination of a decrease in selling and fulfillment expenses of $1.6 million as a result of decrease
in sales and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.6 million, which included payroll expenses, stock-based compensation
expense, insurance expenses, allowance for credit losses, travel expenses and other operating expenses. The decrease in general and administrative
expenses was primarily attributable to the implementation of a cost-cutting plan during the current quarter, as compared to the prior-year
period which included expenses related to the expansion of our vendor network, the development of the SuperSuite platform, and an increase
in the allowance for credit losses and inventory reserves totaling $1.76 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Income
(loss) from operations was $(2,437,977) for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $683,607 of income from operations
for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in income was primary due to the combination of decrease in sales and operating
expenses as discussed above.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists
of interest expense and other non-operating income (expense). Other income (expense) for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was
$424,188 as compared to $(347,432) for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in other income was mainly due to combination
of the increase in other non-operating income of $639,109 resulted from refund of Employee Retention Tax Credit, change in fair value
of derivative liability, and gain on disposal of vehicle.
45
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to iPower
Inc.
Net income (loss) attributable
to iPower Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $(1,193,281) as compared to $218,819 for the three months ended December
31, 2024, representing an increase in net loss of $1,412,100, which was primarily due to a combination of the increase in loss from operations
and the increase in other income as discussed above.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable
to iPower Inc.
Comprehensive
income (loss) attributable to iPower Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $(1,193,660) as compared to $374,949 for the
three months ended December 31, 2024, representing an increase in comprehensive loss of $1,568,609. The increase was due to the reasons
discussed above, along with a decrease in other comprehensive income of $156,509 due to reduced foreign currency translation adjustments
resulting from the translation of RMB, the functional currency of our subsidiary and VIE in the PRC, to USD, the reporting currency of
the Company.

Revenues
for the six months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 49.7% to $19,151,069 as compared to $38,081,092 for the six months ended December
31, 2024. While pricing remained stable, the decrease was mainly due to the combination of decreased orders from Amazon and disruption
of product supply during the six months ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company also experienced a significant decrease in Amazon
orders due to uncertainty over tariffs during the six months ended December 31, 2025.
Costs of Revenues
Costs of revenues for the
six months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 47.2% to $11,205,623 as compared to $21,203,309 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.
The decrease was primarily due to a combination of the costs related to the logistics service income and the decrease in sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $7,945,446
for the six months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $16,877,783 for the six months ended December 31, 2024. While the overall gross
profit ratio of the total sales revenues decreased to 41.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from 44.3% for the six months ended
December 31, 2024, the gross profit ratio of product sales revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 44.0% and 46.0%,
respectively. The decrease in the gross profit ratio was primarily driven by the decrease in the logistics service income and secondarily
by increases in freight costs and product costs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the
six months ended December 31, 2025 decreased 36.2% to $12,078,602 as compared to $18,940,610 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.
The decrease was mainly due to the combination of a decrease in selling and fulfillment expenses of $2.3 million as a result of decreased
sales and costs related to advertising, merchant fees, rental expenses and delivery fees, and a decrease in general and administrative
expenses of $4.6 million, which included payroll expenses, stock-based compensation expense, insurance expenses, allowance for credit
losses, travel expenses and other operating expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to
the implementation of a cost-cutting plan during the current period, as compared to the prior-year period which included expenses related
to the expansion of our vendor network, the development of the SuperSuite platform, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses
and inventory reserves totaling $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was $4,133,156
for the six months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $2,062,827 for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in loss
was primary due to the combination of decrease in sales and operating expenses as discussed above.
Other Income (expense)
Other income (expense) consists
of interest expense and other non-operating income (expense). Other income (expense) for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $1,122,135
as compared to $(269,627) for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in other income was mainly due to combination of the
increase in other non-operating income of $1,219,713 resulted from discounted settlement and write-offs of aged accounts payable, recognition
of loss on deconsolidation of VIE, a decrease in interest, including amortization of debt discount, on the revolving loan of $73,924 during
the six months ended December 31, 2025 resulted from the termination of the revolving ABL, refund of Employee Retention Tax Credit, change
in fair value of derivative liability, and gain on disposal of vehicle.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to iPower
Inc.
Net loss attributable to iPower
Inc. for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $1,726,929 as compared to $1,810,462 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, representing
a decrease in net loss of $83,533, which was primarily due to the combination of increase in loss from operations and the increase in
other income as discussed above.
Comprehensive Loss Attributable to iPower
Inc.
Comprehensive
loss attributable to iPower Inc. for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $1,702,365 as compared to $1,709,386 for the six months
ended December 31, 2024, representing a slight decrease in comprehensive loss of $7,021, which was due to the reasons discussed above,
along with a decrease in other comprehensive income of $76,512 as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from
the translation of RMB, the functional currency of our subsidiary and VIE in the PRC, to USD, the reporting currency of the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources of Liquidity
During
the six months ended December 31, 2025, we primarily funded our operations with cash and cash equivalents generated from operations, borrowing
from related party, as well as through borrowings under our credit facility from JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPM”) and close of
a convertible notes financing on December 23, 2025. Additionally, on June 18, 2024, we closed on a registered direct offering of 69,445
shares of common stock (the “Shares”) and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase up to 69,445 shares of common
stock (the “Warrants”), which Shares and Warrants were sold for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,002. As of December 31,
2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,011,738, representing a $3,848 increase from $2,007,890 in cash as of June 30, 2025. The
cash increase was primarily due to the combined result of cash provided by operating activities, cash used in investing activities and
financing activities resulting from our payments to pay down the JPM revolving line of credit and proceeds from convertible notes.
Based
on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient
to finance our operations during the next 12 months. However, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and fund our capital
requirements are dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that
are beyond our control, such as rising inflation and potential recession, and our anticipated funding requirements could increase. See
“Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2025.
Our
cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses and obligations with respect to warehouse leases. We lease all of
our office and warehouse facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have
credit terms in place with our major suppliers, however as we bring on new suppliers, we are often required to prepay our inventory purchases
from them. This is consistent with our historical operating model which allowed us to operate using only cash generated by the business.
Beyond the next 12 months we believe that our cash flow from operations should improve as supply chain operations normalize and new suppliers
we are bringing online transition to credit terms more favorable to us. In addition, we plan to increase the size of our in-house product
catalog, which will have a net beneficial impact to our margin profile and ability to generate cash.
Given
our current working capital position and available funding from our revolving credit line and proceeds from our June 2024 registered direct
offering, we believe we will be able to work through the current challenges by managing payment terms with customers and vendors.

Working Capital
As
of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, our working capital was $6.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The historical seasonality
in our business during the year can cause cash and cash equivalents, inventory and accounts payable to fluctuate, resulting in changes
in our working capital. We anticipate that past historical trends to remain in place through the balance of the fiscal year with working
capital remaining near this level for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Our largest source of cash
provided by operations is from sales of products. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include payments to suppliers for
products, to employees for compensation, and other general expenses. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $763,906 and $(1,387,926), respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities mainly
resulted from an increase in cash received from customers, which was partially offset by an increase in cash paid for cost of revenues
and operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $5,593,628 and $664,366, respectively. The increase was mainly due
to deconsolidation of VIE cash, payments made for investment in joint venture, purchase of digital assets, and prepayments made for software
developments during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used
in) in financing activities was $4,822,051 and $(2,558,389), respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The increase
in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to a combination of proceeds from a convertible note financing and payments
on the revolving loan.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have
a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP,
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur
from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences
between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition and results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates
on experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing
basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies, which we discuss further below. While our significant
accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that the
following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues from service and product sales, net of promotional discounts and return allowances, when the following revenue
recognition criteria are met: a contract has been identified, separate performance obligations are identified, the transaction price is
determined, the transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon satisfying each performance
obligation. The Company transfers the risk of loss or damage upon shipment or completion of service, therefore, revenue from product sales
is recognized when it is shipped to the customer and the revenue from services is recognized upon completion of services. Return allowances,
which reduce product revenue by the Company’s best estimate of expected product returns, are estimated using historical experience.
The
Company evaluates the criteria of ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition Principal Agent Considerations in determining whether it is appropriate
to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is
primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide a specified good or service and the Company has discretion in establishing
the price, revenue is recorded at gross.
Payments received prior
to the delivery of goods to customers are recorded as customer deposits.
The
Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers to encourage purchases. Such offers include current discount offers, such
as percentage discounts off current purchases and other similar offers. Current discount offers, when accepted by the Company’s
customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction.
Sales
discounts are recorded in the period in which the related sales are recorded. Sales return allowances are estimated based on historical
amounts and are recorded upon recognizing the related sales. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as selling expenses.
Accounts receivable
During
the ordinary course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the
Company expects to collect from customers, which includes the amount withheld by sales channel partners and refundable to the Company.
Based on historical an expected loss rate and status of negotiations with the sales channel partner, management reviews its accounts receivable
balances each reporting period to determine if an allowance for credit loss is required.
The
Company evaluates the creditworthiness of all of its customers individually before accepting them and continuously monitors the recoverability
of accounts receivable. If there are any indicators that a customer may not make payment, the Company may consider making provision for
non-collectability for that particular customer. At the same time, the Company may cease further sales or services to such customer. The
following are some of the factors that the Company develops allowance for credit losses:
·
the customer fails to comply with its payment schedule;
·
the customer is in serious financial difficulty;
·
a significant dispute with the customer has occurred regarding job progress or other matters;
·
the customer breaches any of its contractual obligations;
·
the customer appears to be financially distressed due to economic or legal factors;
·
the business between the customer and the Company is not active; and
·
other objective evidence indicates non-collectability of the accounts receivable.
50
Accounts
receivable are recognized and carried at carrying amount less an allowance for credit losses, if any. The Company maintains an allowance
for credit losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments based on contractual terms. The Company reviews
the collectability of its receivables on a regular and ongoing basis. The Company has also included in calculation of allowance for credit
losses the potential impact of the overall economic conditions on our customers’ industry and businesses and their ability to pay
our accounts receivable. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
The Company also considers external factors to the specific customer, including current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions,
including the potential impact of the recent tariff policy. In the event we recover amounts previously written off, we will reduce the
specific allowance for credit losses.
Inventories, net
Inventory
consists of finished goods ready for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company values its inventory using the weighted
average costing method. The Company’s policy is to include as a part of inventory and costs of goods sold any freight incurred to
ship the product from its vendors to warehouses. Outbound freight costs related to shipping costs to customers are considered period costs
and reflected in selling and fulfillment expenses. The Company regularly reviews inventory and considers forecasts of future demand, market
conditions and product obsolescence.
If
the estimated realizable value of the inventory is less than cost, the Company makes provisions in order to reduce its carrying value
to its estimated market value. The Company also reviews inventory for slow moving and obsolescence and records allowance for obsolescence.
Digital Assets
The Company accounts for its
digital assets, which currently are comprised solely of Bitcoin (“BTC”) and Ethereum (“ETH”), as indefinite-lived
intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-60, “Intangibles—Goodwill
and Other—Crypto Assets.” The Company has ownership of and control over its digital assets and may use third-party custodial
services to secure it. The Company’s digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured on the balance
sheet at fair value.
The Company determines the
fair value of its digital assets on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” based on
quoted prices on the active exchange that the Company has determined is its principal market for such digital assets (Level 1 inputs).
The Company determines the cost basis of digital assets using the specific identification of each unit received. Realized and unrealized
gains and losses from changes in the fair value of digital assets are recognized in the statement of operations.
Variable interest
entities
On
February 15, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Anivia and its subsidiaries, including Daheshou (Shenzhen) Information
Technology Co., Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the PRC (“DHS”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the
Company does not have direct ownership in DHS but is actively involved in DHS’s operations as the sole manager to direct the activities
and significantly impact DHS’s economic performance. DHS’s operational funding has been provided by the Company following
the February 15, 2022 acquisition. During the term of the Agreements, the Company bears all the risk of loss and has the right to receive
all of the benefits from DHS. As such, based on the determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary of DHS, in accordance with
ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, DHS is considered a VIE of the Company and the financial statements of DHS have been consolidated from
the date such control existed, February 15, 2022.
On August 4, 2025, the Company
entered into a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) Contract Termination Agreement with the VIE, pursuant to which all VIE agreements
were terminated. As a result, the Company no longer has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10-40,
Consolidation — Deconsolidation of a Subsidiary or Derecognition of a Group of Assets , the Company deconsolidated the VIE
as of the termination date.
51
Upon deconsolidation, the
Company derecognized all assets and liabilities of the VIE from its consolidated balance sheet. Because the Company retains no ownership
interest or continuing involvement in the VIE following the termination of the agreements, no retained interest was recognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company accounts for goodwill
under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other .
Goodwill
is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment,
at the reporting unit level. The Company’s review for impairment includes an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether
it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If it is determined
that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill, a quantitative
goodwill impairment test is performed, which compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amounts, including goodwill.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. However,
if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that
excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment analysis following the steps
laid out in ASC 350-20-35-3C and noted no goodwill impairment. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the goodwill balance amounted
to $3,034,110 and $3,034,110, respectively.
Embedded derivative liability
The Company evaluates the
embedded features of its financial instruments, including its convertible notes payable in accordance with ASC Topic 480, “ Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ,” and ASC Topic 815 “ Derivatives and Hedging .” Certain conversion options and redemption
features are required to be bifurcated from their host instrument and accounted for as free-standing derivative financial instruments
should certain criteria be met. The Company applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate complex terms and conditions for its
financial instruments to determine whether such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment
of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the
derivatives. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value.
The following table provides
a roll-forward of changes for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended December 31,
2025:

Intangible Assets,
net
Finite
life intangible assets at December 31, 2025 include a covenant not to compete, supplier relationships and software recognized as part
of the acquisition of Anivia. Intangible assets are recorded at the estimated fair value of these items at the date of acquisition, February
15, 2022. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life as follows:
Useful Life
Covenant Not to Compete
10 years
Supplier relationship
6 years
Software
5 years
The
Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that
indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover
the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pretax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related
operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between
estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related
to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations. The Company did not record any impairment charge for the six months
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Stock-based Compensation
The
Company applies ASC No. 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires that share-based payment transactions with
employees and nonemployees upon adoption of ASU 2018-07, be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument and recognized
as compensation expense over the requisite service period, with a corresponding addition to equity. Under this method, compensation cost
related to employee share options or similar equity instruments is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and
is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the
vesting period. In addition to the requisite service period, the Company also evaluates the performance condition and market condition
under ASC 718-10-20. For an award that contains both a performance and a market condition, and where both conditions must be satisfied
in order for the award to vest, the market condition is incorporated into the fair value of the award, and that fair value is recognized
over the employee’s requisite service period or nonemployee’s vesting period if it is probable that the performance condition
will be met. If the performance condition is ultimately not met, compensation cost related to the award should not be recognized (or should
be reversed) because the vesting condition in the award has not been satisfied.
The
Company will recognize forfeitures of such equity-based compensation as they occur.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their perspective tax bases. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is
more-likely-than-not (a probability level of more than 50%) that they will not be realized. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary,
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
53
The
Company has analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax
returns, as well as open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company has identified the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the states of
Nevada and California, as its “major” tax jurisdictions. However, the Company has certain tax attribute carryforwards which
will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the
year in which such attributes are utilized.
The
Company believes that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments
that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded
pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits
is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
Other
than as set forth under Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Recently issued accounting pronouncements,”
the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
