Item
9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management,
including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and interim principal accounting
officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, 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 the Company’s
management, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
29
We
recognize that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its
objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative
to their costs.
Inherent
Limitations Over Internal Controls
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal
control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, a company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions,
and effected by a company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s
assets;
●
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 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
●
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 financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”)
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
We
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our system of ICFR as of December 31, 2025, the last day of our fiscal year. This assessment
was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and included an evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness
of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on our assessment,
management has concluded that our ICFR was effective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with US GAAP. We reviewed
the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
This
annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding
ICFR. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm.
Changes
in Internal Controls over financial reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

under any United States securities laws, we will be entitled to recover (and will seek to recover), from our executive officers, any
excess incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers during the three-year period prior to the date on which we are
required to prepare the restatement. This policy applies to both equity-based and cash compensation awards. The “excess compensation”
is the difference between the actual amount that was paid and the amount that would have been paid if the financial statements were prepared
properly in the first instance.

The
2025 Equity Incentive Plan
On
August 13, 2025, certain majority stockholder of the Company approved by written consent in lieu of a meeting the adoption of the 2025
Equity Incentive Plan (“2025 Plan”). The total shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance during the term of the 2025
Plan is 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock . As of the date of this Annual Report, all option awards were granted under the 2025 Plan and vested fully upon
grant, and the Company
has issued 34,527 shares of Common Stock under the 2025 Plan. The
principal terms of the 2025 Plan are summarized below. This summary is not a complete description of the 2025 Plan, and it is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2025 Plan.
Share
Awards. The 2025 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”),
restricted stock, restricted stock unit, share appreciation rights, stock bonus awards, and performance-based compensation awards, or
collectively, share awards. ISOs may be granted only to our employees, including officers, and the employees of our subsidiaries. All
other share awards may be granted to our employees, officers, our non-employee directors, consultants, advisors and the employees and
consultants of our subsidiaries and affiliates (“Eligible Persons”).
Stock
Options . A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares, at a certain exercise price, in the future.
All Options granted under the 2025 Plan shall be NSOs unless the applicable award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended
to be an ISO. ISOs shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its affiliates. Under the 2025 Plan,
ISOs and NSOs are granted pursuant to stock option agreements adopted by our compensation committee (“Compensation Committee”).
The Compensation Committee determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2025 Plan. Options
granted under the 2025 Plan vest at the rate specified by the Compensation Committee. Stock options granted to certain employees outside
of the United States may be settled in cash.
Stock
options granted under the 2025 Plan generally must be exercised by the optionee before the earlier of the expiration of such option or
the expiration of a specified period following the optionee’s termination of employment. Each stock option agreement will set forth
the extent to which the option recipient will have the right to exercise the option following the termination of the recipient’s
service with us, and the right to exercise the option of any executors or administrators of the award recipient’s estate or any
person who has acquired such options directly from the award recipient by bequest or inheritance. Payment of the exercise price may be
made in cash or, if provided for in the stock option agreement evidencing the award, (1) by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership
of, shares which have already been owned by the optionee, (2) future services or services rendered to us or our affiliates prior to the
award, (3) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds
to us in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (4) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge
shares and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to us in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (5) by a “net exercise”
arrangement, (6) by any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.
Restricted
Stock . The terms of any awards of restricted securities under the 2025 Plan will be set forth in an restricted stock
award agreement to be entered into between us and the recipient. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of
the restricted stock award agreements, which need not be identical. A restricted stock award may be subject to vesting requirements or
transfer restrictions or both. Restricted securities may be issued for such consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine,
including cash, cash equivalents, full recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. Award recipients who are granted
restricted securities generally have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to those shares, provided that dividends and other
distributions will not be paid in respect of unvested shares unless and until the underlying shares vest.
37
Restricted
Stock Units . Restricted stock unit awards give recipients the right to acquire a specified number of shares (or cash
amount) at a future date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including any vesting arrangement, established by the Compensation
Committee and as set forth in a restricted stock unit award agreement. A restricted stock unit may be settled by cash, delivery of shares,
a combination of cash and shares as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. Recipients of restricted stock unit generally will
have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the award is settled. At the Compensation
Committee’s discretion and as set forth in the restricted stock unit award agreement, restricted stock units may provide for the
right to dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents may not be distributed prior to settlement of the restricted stock unit to which
the dividend equivalents pertain and the value of any dividend equivalents payable or distributable with respect to any unvested share
units that do not vest will be forfeited.
Share
Appreciation Rights . Share appreciation rights generally provide for payments to the recipient based upon increases in
the price of our Common Stock over the exercise price of the share appreciation right. The Compensation Committee determines the exercise
price for a share appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of our
Common Stock on the date of grant. A share appreciation right granted under the 2025 Plan vests at the rate specified in the share appreciation
right agreement as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines the term of share appreciation rights
granted under the 2025 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, we will pay the participant
an amount in shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash as determined by the Compensation Committee, equal to the product of (1)
the excess of the per share fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, multiplied by (2)
the number of Common Stock with respect to which the share appreciation right is exercised.
Stock
Bonus Awards . The Compensation Committee may grant stock bonus awards based in whole or in part by reference to our Common
Stock. The Compensation Committee will set the number of shares under the share award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.
Performance-Based
Compensation Awards . The number of shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under a stock option,
restricted stock or restricted stock unit award, share appreciation rights, or stock bonus award may be made subject to the attainment
of performance goals. The Compensation Committee may utilize any performance criteria selected by it in its sole discretion to establish
performance goals.
Share
Reserve. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan may
not exceed 1,500,000 shares.
If
restricted securities or securities issued upon the exercise of options are forfeited, then such shares shall again become available
for awards under the 2025 Plan. If share units, options or share appreciation rights are forfeited or terminate for any reason before
being exercised or settled, or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares to the holder, then the corresponding shares
will again become available for awards under the 2025 Plan. Any shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation
pursuant to any award of options or share appreciation rights shall again become available for awards under the 2025 Plan. If share units
or share appreciation rights are settled, then only the number of shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such share units or
share appreciation rights shall reduce the number of shares available under the 2025 Plan, and the balance (including any shares withheld
to cover taxes) shall again become available for awards under the 2025 Plan.
38
Administration.
The 2025 Plan will be administered by our Board or a committee appointed by our Board, or the Compensation Committee. Subject to the
limitations set forth in the 2025 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to determine, among other things, to whom
awards will be granted, the number of shares subject to awards, the term during which an option or share appreciation right may be
exercised and the rate at which the awards may vest or be earned, including any performance criteria to which they may be subject.
The Compensation Committee also has the authority to determine the consideration and methodology of payment for awards.
Amendment
and Termination. Our Board has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2025 Plan, provided that such action does not
materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. No ISOs may be granted after
the tenth anniversary of the date our Board adopted the 2025 Plan.

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The
following table provides information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of the date of this Report, by:
●
each
of our executive officers and directors;
●
all
of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and
●
each
person or entity, or group of persons or entities, known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our Common Stock.
We
have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily
indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any
person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting
power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person
has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe,
based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power
with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Under
Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,
understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting
of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may
be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose
of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares
(for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person
(and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as
shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of
shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock actually outstanding on March 19, 2026.
(2)
The percentage is calculated based on (i) 20,254,682 shares
of common stock that were outstanding as of March 31, 2026, and (ii) shares of common stock deemed to be beneficially owned by such
person or group if the person or group has the right to acquire the common stock within 60 days of the date as of which the information
is provided and, solely for calculating the Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned, (iii) 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock that were outstanding as of March 19, 2026.

Mr.
S. Cheung has sole voting and dipositive power over the shares held by Ace Champion Investments Limited.

Mr.
C. P. Cheung has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by Chrome Fields Asset Management LLC.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Our
audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent
we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related
party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an
unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents
a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
Other
than employment and other agreements set out elsewhere in this annual report, the following summarizes those of transactions since January
1, 2025 to which we have been a participant, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial owners of more than
5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described in the
section entitled “ Executive Compensation .” Described below are certain other transactions with our directors, executive
officers and stockholders.

1, 2024, Aureus Greenway has been party to the following material transactions and loans with (a) enterprises that directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, Aureus Greenway ; (b) associates;
(c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in voting power that gives them significant influence over Aureus Greenway
, and close members of any such individual’s family; (d) key management personnel, that is, those persons having authority and responsibility
for planning, directing and controlling Aureus Greenway’s activities, including directors and senior management and close members
of such individuals’ families; and (e) enterprises in which a substantial interest in the voting power is owned, directly or indirectly,

On July 23,

of the Company, including Trendy View Assets Management, Ace Champion Investments Limited, and Chrome Fields Asset Management LLC (collectively,
the “Sellers”), and the buyers, including The Steven Scopellite 2021 Irr . Pursuant
to the Private SPA, the Sellers agreed to sell, and The Steven Scopellite 2021 Irr agreed
to purchase, an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Series
A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 and 650,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price
of $633,750.
During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiaries Chrome and Chrome II (collectively, the “Chrome Subsidiaries”), held
private golf club memberships in three international jurisdictions (collectively, the “Memberships”). The Memberships were acquired
and maintained by the Chrome Subsidiaries in connection with each of their respective business operations and for investor relations and
corporate development purposes. In connection with their use of the Memberships, each of Mr. S. Cheung and Mr. C.P. Cheung met high-net-worth
individuals who expressed interest in the Company and in potential future business endeavors, consistent with the investor relations and
corporate development purposes for which the Memberships were maintained.
Subsequent to fiscal year end, Mr. C. P. Cheung purchased the Memberships from the Chrome Subsidiaries at an aggregate
purchase price of $322,500, and Mr. S. Cheung purchased the remaining Memberships from the Chrome Subsidiaries at an aggregate price of
$58,836, in each case representing the full original acquisition cost with no discount or other concession (the aggregate consideration
paid being $381,336). During the time that the Memberships were held by the Chrome Subsidiaries, the personal use of the Memberships by
Mr. S. Cheung, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. C.P. Cheung, the Company's former director and Chairman of the Board,
was incidental to their business purpose. Each of Mr. S. Cheung and Mr. C. P. Cheung is a “related person” of the Company within
the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K by virtue of their respective positions as executive officers and directors of the Company,
and Chrome I and Chrome II. The transactions were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board, which determined that the
purchase prices for the Memberships were fair and reasonable to the Company and no less favorable than terms available in a comparable
transaction with an unrelated third party.

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

February 13, 2025, the Company announced the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,000,000 common stocks, US$ 0.001
par value per stock at an offering price of $ 4.00 per share for a total of US$ 12,000,000 in gross proceeds. The Company raised total
net proceeds of approximately $ 10.65 million, which was reflected in the statement of cash flows, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and outstanding offering expenses upon the completion of listing. During the process of IPO, the Company incurred an
aggregate of approximately $ 2.1 million for underwriting discounts and commissions and total offering expenses, among which approximately
$ 0.6 million offering expenses were paid just before successful listing and recognized as deferred offering costs. At the date of closing
of IPO, the underwriting discounts and commissions and total offering expenses of approximately $ 2.1 million were offset against the
gross offering proceeds of $ 12 million resulted in net amount of approximately $ 9.9 million which was recognized in additional paid-in
capital.
The
common stock of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market afterwards under the ticker symbol “AGH” from February
13, 2025.
Warrants
On
July 23, 2025, the Company has entered into definitive securities purchase agreements with accredited and institutional investors for
the issuance and sale of units consisting of common stock (each a share of “Common Stock”) (or pre-funded warrants (“Pre-funded
Warrants”) to purchase in lieu thereof) together with common A warrants and common B warrants (each of the common A and common
B warrants a “Common Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of common stock (or Pre-funded Warrants) of the Company
at a price of $ 0.87 per unit, on a brokered private placement basis, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 26 million, and the
costs directly attributable to the offering was approximately $ 2.48 million (the “Private Placement”).
On
July 25, 2025 the Company issued 29,885,057 common A warrants, each to acquire a share of common stock, and 29,885,057 common B warrants,
each to acquire a share of common stock in connection with the Private Placement. Each common A warrant has an exercise price of $ 1.00
per share, and each common B warrant has an exercise price of $ 1.25 per share. Each common warrant will be immediately exercisable and
will have a term of exercise equal to five years from the initial exercise date.
In
connection with the Private Placement, the Company also issued 29,156,069 Pre-funded Warrants, each exercisable for one share of common
stock. Each Pre-funded Warrant has a remaining exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share, is exercisable immediately upon payment of any outstanding
exercise price, and may be exercised at any time until fully exercised.
Moreover,
in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement with the placing agents, who agreed to
use reasonable best efforts to facilitate the Private Placement. The compensation to the placing agents includes (i) a cash consideration
of $ 2,080,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 2,390,804 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 8 % of the shares of the Company’s
common stock and Pre-funded Warrants sold in the Private Placement. Each placing agent warrant is exercisable for one share of common
stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share, has a term of five years from the date of issuance, and is subject to customary transfer
restrictions.

Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation and Basis of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. The consolidated
financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances between members of the Group are eliminated upon consolidation.
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard.
This
may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company
nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions made
by management include allowance for expected credit loss, allowance for deferred tax assets, the impairment assessment of property and
equipment, estimated incremental borrowing rate of lease and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from
those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
F- 9
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on
an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets
that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and
all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless
it is impracticable. The Company adopted this standard from January 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash at bank and demand deposits which have original maturities less than three months and are unrestricted
as to withdrawal or use. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had cash of $ 28,668,169 and $ 457,142 , respectively, and did not
have cash equivalents.
Periodically,
the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions more than the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per institution. The
amount in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance as of December 31, 2025, was approximately $ 27,307,892 . The Company
has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the
credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Accounts
Receivable, net
Accounts
receivable mainly represent credit cards or cash deposits in transit, amounts due from customers paid by credit cards for provision
of golf operations services and sales of merchandise and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit
losses. The credit cards payment is to be settled either within few days after the year end date due to the timing difference for
the payment transfer from credit card center to the bank accounts of the Company or within one month after the services were
utilized by the customers who have authorized the Company to make the payment through their credit cards. The Company reviews
accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for expected credit losses and records provision
for allowance for expected credit losses expense when deemed necessary. The Company records an allowance for expected credit losses
that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, future expectation, future economic situation
consideration and considers the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future
potential recoverability. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have
failed. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 5,277
and nil
as an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable, respectively.
Prepaid
expenses
Prepaid expenses represent the prepayment for (i) the consultancy service of $ 331,250 ; (ii) the prepaid annual listing
fee to Nasdaq of $ 7,384 ; (iii) the director’s and officer’s liability insurance premium of $ 73,166 ; (iv) the membership fee
for different golf clubs with current portion of $ 71,263 and non-current portion of $ 307,571 ; and (v) other prepaid expenses of $ 12,789
which was classified as current portion. These prepaid amounts are recognized as expenses over the respective service periods as the related
benefits are received.
Regarding
the consultancy service expense, the Company has engaged a third-party consultant to provide business development regarding the acquisition
of a new golf property and golf property management in Asia for a total consideration of $ 450,000 with service period of 36 months from
March 15, 2025 to March 14, 2028. The total amount in the contract will be amortized ratably to the service period since the services
are expected to be provided evenly throughout the contract period. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $ 118,750 of consultancy service
fee was recognized in statement of operations and the remaining prepaid amount was recognized as prepaid expenses with current portion
of $ 150,000 and non-current portion of $ 181,250 .
Regarding
the annual listing fee starting from February 12, 2025 (the date that the common stock of the Company commencing public trading) after
listing with gross payment of $ 64,167 and prepaid obligation insurance for directors and officers starting from July 25, 2025 with gross
payment of $ 129,994 , the service contract has one year term and the prepaid amount was amortized throughout the contract period starting
from the date of contract and the amortization costs were recognized as other general and administration expenses while the remaining
balance amounting to $ 80,550 in aggregate was recognized as current portion of prepaid expenses.
F- 10
Regarding
the golf club membership fees, the Company prepaid $ 322,500 , $ 38,000 , and $ 20,836 for golf clubs located in mainland China, London, and
Scotland, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2025. The membership periods for these clubs are starting from November 20, 2025 to September 30, 2051, one year starting
from January 1, 2026, and one year starting from January 1, 2026, respectively. The prepaid membership fees will be amortized according
to the term for the membership since the Company expected the usage will be evenly distributed over the time period.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no
allowance for expected credit losses provided for prepaid expenses.
Inventories,
net
The Company’s
inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears and the Company values inventories
using the lower first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and net realizable value, which is generally based on the selling price
expectations of the merchandise goods. The Company regularly reviews inventories to determine if the carrying value of the inventory exceeds net
realizable value and, when determined necessary, record a reserve to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value. Changes in customer
merchandise preference, current and anticipated demand, consumer spending, weather patterns, economic conditions, business trends or
merchandising strategies could cause the Company’s inventory to be exposed to obsolescence or slow-moving merchandise. All goods are aged less
than one year and the Company will offer discounts to customers to boost the selling but higher than that of purchase price. As of December
31, 2025 and 2024, no obsolescent goods were noted.
Deferred
offering costs
The
Company follows the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A —
“Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance
sheet date that are directly related to the intended initial public offering (“IPO”). Deferred offering costs will be charged
to stockholders’ equity netted against the proceeds upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these
deferred offering costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of operations. As of December 31,
2024, the Company deferred $ 582,679 of offering costs. As of December 31, 2025, all deferred offering costs were charged against the
gross proceeds upon the completion of IPO on February 13, 2025.
Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses .
Property and equipment, consisting of land, buildings and recreational facilities, properties improvements, equipment, furniture and
fixture . The Company capitalizes costs that materially add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset. With respect to golf
course improvements (included in land improvements), only costs associated with original construction, complete replacements, or the
addition of new trees, sand traps, fairways or greens are capitalized while replacements, maintenance
and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation
is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
Depreciable
land improvements
15
years
Building
and recreational facilities
39
years
Properties
improvements
5 - 7
years
Equipment,
furniture and fixture
5 - 7
years
The
Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives.
F- 11
Impairment
for Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, representing property and equipment with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
(such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying
value of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent
that estimated future, undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future, undiscounted cash outflows, are less
than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset
and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment,
are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. If an impairment is identified, The Company would reduce
the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate,
to comparable market values. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815,
“Derivatives and Hedging”. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant
to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity
classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s common stock, among other conditions
for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance
and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all
of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the
time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required
to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in
the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of
the warrants is estimated using an appropriate valuation model. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each
reporting period. Offering costs associated with warrants classified as liabilities are expensed as incurred and are presented as offering
cost related to warrant liability in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the sale of warrants classified as equity
are charged against proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2025, all warrants issued are classified within stockholders’ equity. The placing
agent warrant is classified as equity and its fair value was $ 4,183,731 at grant date.
Management
evaluated the terms of all warrants issued during the year, including common warrants, pre-funded warrants, and placement agent warrants,
and concluded that such instruments are indexed to the Company’s own stock and do not contain provisions that would require net
cash settlement or otherwise preclude equity classification under ASC 815-40. Accordingly, all warrants issued during the year were classified
as equity instruments.
The
placement agent warrants were classified as equity and their grant-date fair value of $ 4,183,731 was recorded as equity issuance costs
and recognized as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows accounting guidelines on fair value measurements for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis, as well as
for certain assets and liabilities that are initially recorded at their estimated fair values. Fair value is defined as the exit price,
or the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
as of the measurement date. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes
the use of unobservable inputs to value its financial instruments:
●
Level
1: Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
●
Level
2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
●
Level
3: Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values
are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which
the determination of fair value requires a significant judgment or estimation.
Financial
instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires the Company to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial
amounts recorded, may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market
exchange.
F- 12
The
carrying amounts shown of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, refundable
prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, other payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and amount due to a
related party are approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Leases
ASC
842 supersedes the lease requirements in ASC 840 “Leases”, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and
finance lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced
disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. All leases in the
Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are accounted for as operating leases.
ROU
assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the
Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at
commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not
provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate
of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes
any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate
the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Any
lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by ASC 842, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU
assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expense
is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company determines the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases by estimating a rate of interest that it would
have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and a similar economic environment
(the “incremental borrowing rate” or “IBR”).The Company determines the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference
rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances.
Accounts
Payables, Other Payables and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts
payable, other payables and accrued liabilities represented the payable to the vendors for the course upkeep costs, credit cards charge
payables, sales tax payables, property tax payable, accrued salaries and other accrual and payable for the operation of the ordinary
course of business.
Bank
and Other Borrowings
Borrowings
are initially recognized at fair value, net of upfront fees incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in statements of operations over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method. All bank and other borrowings have been fully repaid upon listing.
Related
Parties
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject
to common control or significant influence of the same party, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.
The
details of related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024
are set out in Note 8.
F- 13
Revenue
Recognition
All
revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and
products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
●
executed
contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
●
identification
of performance obligations in the respective contract;
●
determination
of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
●
allocation
the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
●
recognition
of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The
Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which generally occurs when,
or as, control of promised goods or services are transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction
price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction
price utilizing the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction
price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract
will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include such estimated amounts in the transaction
price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available.
The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and excludes these amounts
from revenues.
In
addition, the Company defers certain costs to fulfill the Company’s contracts with customers to the extent such costs relate directly
to the contracts, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligations under the
contracts, and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contracts. Contract fulfillment costs are incurred as
the Company satisfies the related performance obligations.
Revenue
from golf operations
There
are two types of service charges maintained by the Company, the players can either (1) subscribe to the entertainment services for a
period of time of one year at a discount (i.e. annual subscription green fees); or (2) purchase the services at the counter by one-time
payment (i.e. one-time green fees). The golf courses are open to public and hence the Company’s customers include both local and overseas citizens.
The charges comprise of both the cart fee and fees for playing in the golf course, which is fixed without variable consideration, and
the customers either pay via cash or credit card. The entire service fee from customers is non-refundable and required to be paid in
advance.
The
Company sells annual green fee subscriptions to local patrons. The performance obligation of the annual subscription is for the Company
to provide a patron with access to the golf course and cart, subject to availability of a tee time for a patron to play a single round
on the 18-hole course; the round of golf is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of the booking of that tee time. The Company
recognizes revenue from these annual subscriptions on a monthly basis over twelve months. The annual subscriptions are non-refundable.
Payments for subscriptions in the form of cash or credit card are received in advance, and are recorded as contract liabilities-deferred
revenue, and recognized to revenue at the end of each month. Management believes that the services provided each month are substantially
similar and result in the transfer of substantially similar services to the customers each month. That is, the benefit consumed by the
customers is substantially similar for each month, even though the exact volume of services may vary. The Company concludes that the
annual green fees subscription satisfies the requirements of ASC 606-10-25-14(b) to be accounted for as a single performance obligation.
The annual subscriptions fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration.
There is no contract asset related to these annual green fee subscriptions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded contract
liabilities - deferred revenue of $ 145,980 and $ 162,226 , respectively.
F- 14
One-time
green fees require the Company to provide to a patron access to a designated 18-hole golf course and cart to play a single round of golf
subject to non-hazardous weather conditions that is expected to be completed before sunset of the day of booking of that tee time. Management
believes access to the golf course and the card constitute a single performance obligation as either service is not available to be purchased
separately. Payments for tee times are non-refundable and are received via cash or credit card immediately prior to the initiation of
the patron playing the round of 18-hole golf; therefore, and one-time green fees are not refundable. Typically, in the event that weather
is not expected to permit the patron to play and complete the single round of golf, the Company will not undertake the transaction and
take payment from the patron. The one-time green fees are fixed and there is no variable consideration.
Sales
of merchandise, food and beverage
Golf
course patrons regularly buy golf balls, clothing, paraphernalia, and gloves, or will enjoy food and beverage offered at the clubhouses.
Patrons make orders at the counter. The price is fixed without variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue when the merchandise
or food and beverage are delivered, net of discounts, if any and control of the product has been passed to the customer. If the clothing
or wearables have product defects, they are subject to exchange, but all sales are final and not subject to return. Product delivery
is evidenced by a payment receipt record. Payments are settled via cash or credit card. The respective revenue is recognized at a point
in time. There are no warranties, sales returns and refunds after the orders are delivered to the customers at the counter.
Ancillary
revenue
Ancillary
revenue represented the lease of its clubhouse for several hours for events held by associations or individuals such as golf
tournaments and lease of golf club to individuals for one day playing golf in the Company’s golf course. The revenue was
recognized upon services were rendered (i.e. on daily basis when the venue or golf club was used that day). Deposit was received in
advance for booking of clubhouse and recognized as contract liabilities – deferred income upon receipt and recognized as
revenue in the statements of operations when service was rendered or no show after booking. Deposit received is
non-refundable.
Operating
Costs
Golf
operating costs consist of costs associated with golf course upkeep expenses and are expended as incurred.
Other
General and Administrative Expense
Other
General and administrative expense consists of audit fees for initial public offering, costs associated with corporate and administrative
functions that support development and operations.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Under the
fair value recognition provisions of guidance, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The
grant-date fair value of stock-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) is expensed immediately. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations is based on awards
ultimately expected to be vested. Stock-based compensation of $ 1,890,958
was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Income
Tax
The
Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not
that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is
recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
F- 15
The
Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using
that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position
will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated
financial statements, respectively.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Loss
Per Share
The
Company computes loss per share, or EPS, in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260
requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net (loss) income divided by the weighted average common
stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential common stocks (e.g.,
convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date,
if later. Potential common stocks that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per
share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no dilutive common
stocks as the inclusion of both the stock options and the warrants in the loss per common stock calculation would have anti-dilutive
effect.
Segment
Information
ASC
280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent
with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major
customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. The Company uses the “management approach”
in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining
the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CEO is the CODM. Management, including the CODM, reviews operation results
by revenue, operating expenses and income from operations of different services, while revenue is the profitability measure used by the
CODM in making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performances. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has
determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by ASC 280, because the Company provides golf operations, sales of merchandise,
food and beverage and provides ancillary services to customers in most instances, and has only one team to provide products and services
to customers. All assets of the Company are located in Florida and all revenue is generated from Florida.

Commitments
and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business
that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such
contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company
may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure
Update and Simplification Initiative.” This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements
into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation
requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to compare entities subject more easily to the SEC’s existing disclosures
with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s
regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial
statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual
restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from
its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed
the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides guidance
on the requirements such as the requirement that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the
rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For public business
entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than
public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption
is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The ASU should be applied
prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on
its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). This update requires, among other things, more detailed disclosure about types of expenses in
commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, and is intended to improve
the disclosures about an entity’s expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization.
ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 (“ASU 2025-06”), “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software
(Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” This ASU removes references to prescriptive
and sequential software development project stages and provides updated guidance intended to simplify the capitalization and expense
evaluation for internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 17, 2027, and interim reporting
periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. This ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively,
or with a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.
Except
as mentioned above, 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 balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash
flows.

Preferred
stock
The
Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.001 . 20,000,000 preferred shares have been designated.
Series
A Preferred Stock
The
Company has designated 20,000,000 preferred shares, par value $ 0.001 , as Series A Preferred Stock. Initially, holders of series A preferred
stock would have 20 voting rights for each series A preferred stock on any matter which action of the stockholders of the corporation
is sought. The series A preferred stock will vote together with the common stock. Common stock and series A preferred stock are not convertible
into each other. Holders of series A preferred stock are not entitled to receive dividends. The series A preferred stock does not have
liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock, and therefore ranks pari passu with the Common Stock in the event of liquidation.

Basic
loss per common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the year. Diluted
loss per common stock is the same as basic loss per common stock for all periods presented because the inclusion of all potential common
stocks ( 1,455,000 stock options and 90,691,897 warrants) would have been anti-dilutive, as it would have reduced the net loss per share.
Note
14 – Risk and Uncertainties
Credit
Risk
The
Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and accounts and other receivables. The Company’s credit
risk is primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced
losses on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard
to these deposits is not significant.
Management
believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The
Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk
by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses
with existing customers. Since all receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are aged within one year and collected all receivables
subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for receivable.
Vendor
concentration risk
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company owed 87 % and 94 % of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one vendor accounted for 15 % and 31 % of the Company’s total operating costs, respectively. No other
vendor accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s total operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
F- 27
Interest
rate risk
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
Liquidity
risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as
possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically,
the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months,
including through operations and financial support from the Company’s stockholders and financial institutions. the Company is
continuing to focus on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of
financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as
natural disasters. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or
negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet the Company’s current and future liquidity
needs.
Note
15 – Commitments and Contingencies
Lease
Commitments
The
Company entered into operating leases for corporate office, golf carts and golf equipment for terms of four to five years.
The Company’s commitments for minimum lease payment under these operating leases as of December 31, 2025 are listed in section
“Note 7 — “Leases”.
Litigation
From
time to time, the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on
currently available information, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any unresolved matters, individually and
in the aggregate, is reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company’s view of these matters may
change in the future. the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of
the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the need for any such liabilities on a regular basis.
Note
16 – Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after December 31, 2025 up through March 31, 2026, which is the date that
these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued, there were no other any material subsequent events that require disclosure
in these consolidated financial statements other than disclosed below which has no effect on the consolidated financial statements.
On
January 28, 2026, the Company announced the changes of directors and officers effective January 29, 2026, including the resignation of
Mr. Cheung Chi Ping as CEO, President and director of the Company, and Mr. Cheung Ching Ping as Chairman and director of the Company.
Both individuals transitioned to roles at the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Chrome Field I, Inc. and Chrome Field II, Inc. Additionally,
the board appointed Matthew J. Saker as Interim CEO and Christopher Schraft as an independent director and Chair of the Compensation
Committee, effective January 29, 2026.
On
March 8, 2026, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Autonomous Power Corporation (the “Target”)
through a merger. Under the terms, each share of the Target will be converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s
common stock based on a set exchange ratio. The former stockholders of the Target are also eligible for up to an additional 50 million
shares as earn-out consideration if certain performance milestones are met. Following the transaction, the combined Company’s board will
be reconstituted with five directors selected by the Target, and Andrew Fox is expected to become the CEO and Chair.
Concurrently,
the Company secured a committed $ 9.0 million private placement (“PIPE”) with institutional investors, which is a condition
to closing the merger. The financing involves the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants at a price of $ 3.00 per share, with Dominari
Securities LLC acting as placement agent. The merger is subject to customary conditions, including the effectiveness of an S-4 registration
statement, stockholder approvals from both companies, and Nasdaq listing approval. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization, with a termination date set for December 31, 2026, if not completed by then.
Subsequent
to year end on March 23, 2026, the board of directors approved the disposal of all three golf club memberships. The Company entered
into two separate agreements to dispose (i) one golf club membership with a carrying amount of $ 319,998
as of December 31, 2025 for a cash consideration of $ 322,500
(the original acquisition price by the Company) to Mr. Cheung Chi Ping, director of the Company, and (ii) two golf club memberships
with an aggregate carrying amount of $ 58,836
as of December 31, 2025 with a cash consideration of $ 58,836
(the original acquisition price by the Company) to Mr. Cheung Ching Ping, director of the Company. The disposal prices were based on
the original acquisition costs of the memberships, which management believes approximate their fair values. The transactions were
approved by the board of directors. All cash consideration of $ 381,336
was received by March 31, 2026.
