ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by
this report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
Based upon this
evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our existing disclosure controls and procedures were
ineffective because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of accounting staff and
resources with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements. As a result, we performed
additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-K present
fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the
design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design
of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of a company’s assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Our management, with the participation
and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation,
we identified one deficiency, which related to a lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC
reporting and compliance requirements, and which we believe to be a material weakness as of December 31, 2025.
As a result of the above material weakness, management
has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025. To remedy our identified material
weakness as of December 31, 2025, we have undertaken the remedial steps and also plan to adopt certain measures to improve our internal
control over financial reporting as set forth below.
20
Remediation plan of the Material Weakness
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Reported as of December 31, 2025
As of the date of this annual report, we have
not fully addressed the above-referenced weakness. However, we have made progress in implementing remedial measures, including:
(i) recruiting qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S.
GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system
control framework. Since very few companies in Hubei Province, the area in which our main PRC operating subsidiaries are located, have
sought public listing on a U.S. exchange, we have difficulty identifying qualified accounting candidates with U.S. GAAP experience and
expertise. We plan to search for qualified personnel in other regions of China; and
(ii) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and
financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial reporting personnel.
While we believe that these
efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, our remediation efforts are ongoing and will require validation. We
will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the remaining material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. We may also
conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public
Accounting Firm
This annual report on Form
10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC where domestic
and foreign registrants that are non-accelerated filers, which we are not required to provide the auditor attestation report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Other than as described above,
there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report
on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls.
Management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect our internal controls to prevent or detect all misstatements. No
matter how well designed and operated, a control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
of such controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of misstatements, if any, have been detected
or prevented. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those
internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
During the Company’s fourth quarter, no director
or officer adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.

2025 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2025 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “2025 Equity Plan”), was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders on August 29, 2025.
The purpose of the 2025 Equity Plan is to attract and retain personnel of the highest caliber, provide incentive for officers, directors,
employees and other key persons and to promote the well-being of the Company.
The 2025 Plan is administered
by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and permits the issuance of up to 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock upon exercise
or conversion of grants and awards made from time to time to officers, directors, employees and consultants. Under the 2025 Equity Plan,
the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based
awards. Subject to the provisions of the plan, the committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards
may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions
or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions
related to the awards.
Under the 2025 Equity Plan,
shares of stock subject to other awards that are forfeited or terminated will be available for future award grants under the 2025 Equity
Plan. If a holder pays the exercise price of a stock option by surrendering any previously owned shares of common stock or arranges to
have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with
the stock option exercise, the number of common shares available under the 2025 Equity Plan may be increased by the lesser of (i) the
number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such stock option.
Under the 2025 Equity Plan,
in the event of a change in the number of shares of Company common stock as a result of a dividend on shares of common stock payable in
shares of common stock, or a common stock forward split or a reverse split or other extraordinary or unusual event that results in a change
in the shares of common stock as a whole, the administrator shall determine whether such change equitably requires an adjustment in the
terms of any award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the 2025 Equity Plan or the aggregate number
of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Equity Plan. Unless terminated by the Board, the 2025 Equity Plan shall continue
to remain effective until the earlier of (i) ten (10) years or (ii) the date when no further awards may be granted and
all awards granted under the plan are no longer outstanding.
The following table sets forth information as of
December 31, 2025 regarding shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2025 Equity Plan, which, as of the date of this report,
is the only equity compensation plan that has been adopted by our Board of Directors.

Equity Award Grant Practices
Our equity-based incentive
awards are designed to align our interests and the interests of our stockholders with those of our employees and consultants, including
our Named Executive Officers. The Board or Compensation Committee is responsible for approving equity grants. The Board and Compensation

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and the shareholders
of
Planet Green Holdings Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Planet Green Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company records an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025, and the Company currently has a working
capital deficit, continued net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
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 consolidated 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
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F- 2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is
matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter
in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Description
of the Matter
As discussed in Note 2 and Note 9 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company’s reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment
charge of approximately $130,000 related to plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2025, plant and equipment net was approximately $4.7
million.
We identified the impairment assessment of certain
long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because auditing management’s impairment evaluation involved especially challenging,
subjective, and complex judgement. In particular, significant judgement was required in evaluating the identification of the relevant
asset group, the existence and effect of impairment indicators, and the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the asset group,
including assumptions related to the continued suspension of production, the expected future utilization of the production line, and other
valuation inputs used to determine the impairment amount.
How We
Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address
this critical audit matter included, among others, evaluating management’s identification of the relevant asset group, assessing
the existence of impairment indicators, and assessing whether events and circumstances, including the prolonged suspension of production
and reduced utilization of the related assets, indicated possible impairment. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying
data used in the impairment analysis, obtained an understanding of the valuation methodology used in management’s valuation report
and evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions and inputs applied in the valuation. In addition, we assessed the adequacy
of the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

since 2022.

Enterprise-Wide Disclosure
The Company’s chief operating decision-makers
(i.e. chief executive officer and her direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated
information about revenues by business lines for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment
managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level.
Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment
Reporting”, the Company considers itself to be operating within one reportable segment.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the Company has incurred a net loss from continuing
operations of $ 17,791,496 for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 175,029,363 ,
a working capital deficit of $ 7,070,747 , and its net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the year ended December
31, 2025 was $ 1,786,297 .
These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s
ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private
placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management
is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.

Management has eliminated all significant inter-company
balances and transactions in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts on the prior years’ consolidated
balance sheets and statement of operations were reclassified to reflect discontinuing operations, with no effect on ending stockholders’
equity.
Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements preparation
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Management evaluates estimates, including the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, amounts
due from related parties and equity investments, the useful lives of our property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term
investments and goodwill, etc. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed
to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual
results could differ from these estimates.
F- 10
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash includes currency on hand and deposits held
by banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in the PRC. Cash maintained
in banks within the People’s Republic of China of less than RMB 0.5 million (equivalent to $ 71,499 ) per bank are covered by “deposit
insurance regulation” promulgated by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China.
Restricted cash includes any cash that is legally restricted as to
withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash in the amount of $0 and $ 296 was restricted by court due to lawsuits against
the Company.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried
at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the amount
is not expected to be collected. Delinquent amount balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful amounts after the management
has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Inventories, Net
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished
goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs,
and allocated overhead. An annual impairment test will be performed on inventory, and any excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying
amount will be recognized as impairment losses in the current period.
Advances to Suppliers, Net
The Company makes advance payments to suppliers
and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable
amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory. The Company reviews
its advance to suppliers on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the ability of a supplier
to provide supplies to the Company or refund an advance.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value
of 0 % to 5 %. The estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings
5 - 30 years
Machinery and equipment
2 - 10 years
Motor vehicles
4 - 10 years
Office equipment
1 - 10 years
The cost and related accumulated depreciation
of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results
of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization. Amortization is provided over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the intangible
assets are as follows:
Land use rights
50 years
Software licenses
2 - 5 years
Trademarks
7 - 16 years
F- 11
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment
of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly,
a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets
for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment
may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital
to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its
expected future undiscounted cash flows.
If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported
lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
identified indicators of impairment related to a production line and related long-lived assets due primarily to the prolonged suspension
of production and reduced utilization of the related assets. The Company intends to continue operating and utilizing these assets and,
accordingly, evaluated the related asset group for impairment as held-and-used long-lived assets under ASC 360.
As the carrying amount of the asset group was
not expected to be recoverable, the Company measured the impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group
exceeded its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement was based primarily on valuation techniques including the cost approach
and, where applicable, market information for similar used equipment. Significant inputs included replacement cost, physical deterioration,
functional and economic obsolescence, and asset condition and utilization.
As a result, the Company recognized an impairment
charge of approximately $ 130,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025. The fair value measurement of the asset group was classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and was measured on a nonrecurring basis.
Statutory Reserves
Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated
from the net income following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be
used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on
an annual basis, an amount equal to 10 % of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum equal to
50 % of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities
are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average
exchange rate during the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.”
It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration
we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenues from selling
explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde
pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals and tea products. The Company
recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The Company applies
the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of
its agreements:
●
identify the contract with a customer;
●
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
●
determine the transaction price;
●
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and;
●
Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Shipping and Handling
All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed
as incurred.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed
as incurred.
Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored
defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using an asset
and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are
provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely
than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization.
Comprehensive Income
The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income
and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders
due to investments by stockholders.
F- 13
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”)
following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders
divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis
from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially
convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using
the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share)
are excluded from diluted EPS calculation.
Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including
cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying
amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines
fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements
for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify
as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such
instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined
as follows:
●
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term.
●
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Lease
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company adopted
ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess: (1) whether any
expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct
costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy
election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat
the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value
of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable
certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating
lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception,
therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally
do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU
assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived
assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment
of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax
cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested
asset group and it includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
As of December 31, 2025, the company does not
have any current lease agreements exceeding 12 months.
F- 14
Equity Investments
The Company
accounts for its equity investments in accordance with ASC 321. In accordance with ASC 321, equity investment which the Company has no
significant influence (generally less than 20 % ownership interest) with readily determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value
based on quoted market prices with the changes in fair value recognized as unrealized gains or losses in earnings. Equity investments
without readily determinable fair values are accounted for either at fair value or using the measurement alternative. Under the measurement
alternative, the equity investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable
price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment. The investments in equity securities are evaluated for
impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value.
Share-based Compensation
The Company
recognize share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable requisite service period, based on the grand date
fair value of the award. The fair value of shares issued for services is calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued with the
stock price on the grant date .
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various
legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial
disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss.
The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs
incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss
from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting
Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation
individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with
Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. This guidance clarifies the assessment
of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made
to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. The amended guidance is effective for all entities for annual reporting

related to income. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating
the impact this amended guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued
by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and
Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial
statements.
3. Discontinued Operation
On April 1, 2024, the Company transferred 100 %
of Allinyson’s shares and other equity interest to an individual for aggregated purchase price of $ 1.00 , and Allinyson was completely
disposed.
On December 11, 2024, Jiayi entered into a Termination
Agreement with Jilin Chuangyuan and its shareholders, pursuant to which, Jiayi, Jilin Chuangyuan and its shareholders agreed to terminate
all of the rights and obligations under the VIE Agreements. As a result of the completion of the transaction, the Company no longer consolidates
Jilin Chuangyuan’s financial statements into the financial statements of the Company for accounting purpose.
On April 30, 2025, the Board resolved to discontinue
the operations of Shandong Yunchu. Subsequently, on September 1, 2025, the Company disposed of its 100 % equity interest in Promising Prospect
HK Limited (“Promising HK”) for nominal consideration. Promising HK holds the 100 % equity interest in Shandong Yunchu through
Jiayi Technologies and does not own any other operating assets of the Company.
The discontinued operation represents a strategic
shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, which trigger discontinued operations accounting
in accordance with ASC 205-20-45. The assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations were retroactively classified as assets/liabilities
held for sale as of December 31, 2024, while results of operations related to the discontinued operations for the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, were retroactively reported as loss from discontinued operations. The results of discontinued operations for the years

15. Income Taxes
United States
On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act” (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34 % to
21 %. As the Company has a December 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory
federal rate of 21 % for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has
remeasured the Company’s deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in the U.S at the lower enacted
cooperated tax rate of 21 %. However, this remeasurement has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has provided
a 100 % valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets previously.
Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition
tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The
change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs
and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s
income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to December 31, 2025 which the Company has foreign cumulative
losses at December 31, 2024.
British Virgin Islands
Planet Green Holdings Corporation BVI is incorporated
in the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current British Virgin Islands law. In addition,
upon payments of dividends by these entities to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.
Hong Kong
PinnacleTech HK Limited is incorporated in Hong
Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance
with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5 % in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong
profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, PinnacleTech
HK Limited is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of
dividends.
PRC
The Company PRC subsidiaries and their controlled
entities are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated
at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect
thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are subject to income tax at a rate of 25 % after appropriate
tax adjustments.
Significant components of the income tax expense
consisted of the following for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740
related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes
a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects
to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized
and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount
of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s
potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions
of ASC 740.

18. Risks
A. Credit risk
The Company’s deposits are made with banks
located in the PRC. Cash maintained in banks within the People’s Republic of China of less than RMB 0.5 million (equivalent to $ 71,499 )
per bank are covered by “deposit insurance regulation” promulgated by the State Council of the People’s Republic of
China.
Since the Company’s inception, the age of
account receivables has been less than one year, indicating that the Company is subject to the minimal risk borne from credit extended
to customers.
B. Interest risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk when
short-term and long-term loans become due and require refinancing.
C. Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in
the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in the
political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC.
19. Contingencies
The Company records accruals for certain of its
outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual,
as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company discloses the amount
of the accrual if it is material.
When a loss contingency is not both probable and
estimable, the Company does not record an accrued liability but discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, if material. However,
if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least reasonably possible, then the Company discloses an estimate of
the loss or range of loss, unless it is immaterial or an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably
possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves complex judgments about future events. Management is often
unable to estimate the loss or a range of loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are
in the early stages, or (iii) there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints
among different jurisdictions. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters,
including eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any. The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31,
2025 to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material contingency
events to disclose.
20. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events that have
occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized,
or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the dates of the balance sheets, including the estimates
inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions
that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date. The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent
to December 31, 2025 to the date these audited consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that other than described
below, it does not have any material events to disclose.
On March 10, 2026, the Company incorporated Hubei Taihe Biotechnology
Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company.
