Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere
in this Annual Report and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion
may contain predictions, estimates, and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including
those discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. These risks could cause
our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.
Our
audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.
Overview
We
are a road construction and building materials company offering proprietary, environmentally sustainable materials and seeking to redefine
our industry with a clear mission: enabling the “Transition to Zero.” Our proprietary product BioAsphalt™
incorporates biochar , a powerful carbon sequestering material, into infrastructure with the goal of reducing emissions,
improving performance, and lowering overall costs. We also offer a licensed proprietary cold mix biochar asphalt emulsifying agent, which
we call “ Verde V24 ”. Further, we expect to generate revenues from the generation by our products, and our subsequent
sale, of carbon removal credits . We believe our proprietary products, know-how and business plan place us at the forefront of
sustainable innovation in the construction and building materials sector, an industry we believe is long overdue for transformation.
Our
strategic roadmap for achieving net-zero emissions—what we call the Verde Net Zero Blueprint —has achieved the following
significant milestones:
●
The
issuance to our company in April 2025 of the world’s first carbon removal credit from asphalt production and application, certified
by Puro.earth, the leading global registry for engineered carbon removal.
●
Technological
validation of our BioAsphalt™ by the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT), including receipt of preliminary performance
results from NCAT in July 2025 that demonstrated consistent durability, particularly under low-volume roadway conditions. Most recently,
in September 2025, NCAT’s latest evaluation of our cold recycling mix using 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (“RAP”)
from laboratory testing demonstrated that our cold-recycled mix not only meets but exceeds industry specifications for cold-recycled
asphalt. These results showed superior cohesion, high tensile strength ratio (“TSR”), and retained stability compared
to standard cold mix benchmarks, validating its strength, durability, and moisture resistance.
Our
Verde Net Zero Blueprint is comprised of our portfolio of validated technologies that enable the production of sustainable infrastructure
materials with the integrated ability to generate certified carbon removal credits. This positions carbon sequestration not just as an
environmental co-benefit, but as a monetizable feature embedded in our business plan.

As
the rise of artificial intelligence accelerates data center energy consumption, which is now projected to account for a growing share
of global electricity use, enterprises worldwide are facing increasing pressure to offset their carbon footprints. This is driving up
demand for high-integrity, verifiable carbon credits.
Our
model presents a novel combination of infrastructure performance with measurable climate impact, establishing us as a first mover in
scalable Net Zero solutions, which we believe positions us well to meet the demands of a rapidly decarbonizing, carbon-constrained economy.
With
key third-party validations from groups such as NCAT and Puro.earth in place, we are now focused on commercializing our solutions in
the United States, our most strategic market. To this end, we recently entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Ergon Asphalt
& Emulsions, Inc. (“Ergon”), an industry leader in asphalt innovation and supply and one of the largest liquid asphalt
and emulsion marketers in North America, for the production of asphalt surface course material containing our proprietary solution across
North America. As our domestic operations scale through Ergon, we plan to license the Verde Net Zero Blueprint globally, targeting infrastructure
and materials companies in countries aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement and pursuing Net Zero by 2050.
To
fully focus on this transition, we have exited all of our company’s legacy business lines unrelated to sustainable infrastructure
technologies, including:
●
The
sale of our Malaysian mining subsidiary Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”), which was completed on April 20, 2023; and
●
The
discontinuation of our CBD business following the expiration of our supply agreement with MRX Xtractors, LLC on July 6, 2024.
We
plan to expand operations and generate and grow revenue over the next twelve (12) months primarily through marketing and selling our
proprietary road technologies through Ergon exclusively in North America, with an initial focus on the United States. Production planning
of our materials has already commenced, with distribution anticipated to occur through the Ergon’s established sales channels,
reaching asphalt mixing plants across the United States, Canada and Mexico for blending and placement. Embedding our technology into
Ergon’s nationwide business footprint would enable immediate scalability and near-term revenue generation.
We
believe our asset light business model enables scalable growth while minimizing capital intensity, creating recurring revenue streams
through licensing, sales, royalties, carbon monetization, and strategic partnerships. We operate through our primary U.S. subsidiary,
Verde Renewables, Inc., headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.

Developments
Ergon
License
On
October 10, 2025, Verde Renewables, Inc. (“Verde Renewables”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a license agreement
with Ergon (the “Ergon License”), pursuant to which we have granted Ergon an exclusive, non-transferable license to use,
manufacture, commercialize, market, sell and distribute any product that contains or is manufactured or formed by Ergon using our proprietary
cold mix biochar asphalt emulsifying agent, which we call “Verde V24”, in the United States (including its territories),
Canada and Mexico, in exchange for Ergon agreeing to purchase Verde V24 from us at a fixed price (which is inclusive of all fees associated
with the license, but subject to consumer price index adjustments) for use in Ergon’s asphalt road materials products.
Ergon,
the largest asphalt marketer in North America, is a subsidiary of Ergon, Inc., a diversified global organization engaged in multiple
industries. The privately held Ergon is an industry pioneer in asphalt innovation and supply, employing more than 4,000 people and serving
customers and partners in over 90 countries worldwide.
We
have agreed with Ergon to an initial fifteen (15) month “go-to-market period”, during which there will be no minimum purchase
requirements for Ergon’s purchases of Verde V24. For each calendar year beginning January 1, 2027, Ergon has agreed to negotiate
with us in good faith towards the establishment of possible minimum purchase amounts based on certain customary factors. We have also
agreed with Ergon that if minimum purchase amounts are agreed to for any given calendar year, we and Ergon will agree in good faith to
new minimum purchase amounts for each subsequent year, subject to consideration of customary factors,
We
have also agreed to provide Ergon with forty percent (40%) of our share of the carbon removal credits generated from the mixing of the
final carbon sequestering BioAsphalt™ surface material, so long as (a) the carbon removal credits are generated from bulk mixing
or packaged mixed product, and (b) the mixing of the final BioAsphalt™ surface material includes biochar purchased from us. The
Ergon License additionally grants Ergon the right to use our trademarks and access to ongoing technical services to facilitate the monitoring,
reporting, and verification process of each ton of carbon dioxide sequestered.

Revenue
We
have generated $133,202 in revenue for the year ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $36,618, or 37.9%, compared to revenue
of $96,584 in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a shift in product mix, with greater sales of our higher-margin
Biochar Asphalt Premix, which became the predominant revenue driver in 2025. In contrast, revenue in 2024 also included sales of raw
biochar, which carries lower margins and contributed a larger share of revenue in that year.
Cost
of revenue
Cost
of revenue in 2025 comprised the cost of Biochar Asphalt products sold whereas the cost for the year ended June 30, 2024 also included
cost of biochar produced. Consequently, cost of revenue decreased by $11,189 or 17.8%, from $62,978 in the year ended June 30, 2024,
to $51,789 during the year ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a change in the composition of products sold. During
fiscal 2024, the cost of revenue included the production costs associated with raw biochar, which carried higher relative production
and handling costs.
Gross
Profit (Loss)
Gross
profit for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $81,413, an increase of $47,807, or 142.3%, compared to gross profit of $33,606 in 2024.
The improvement in gross profit was driven not only by increased revenues but also by a favorable product mix, as the Biochar Asphalt
Premix that was our primary product sold in 2025 has significantly higher gross margins than raw biochar, which was a primary driver
in 2024.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses comprised mainly of salaries, office costs, legal and professional fees, consultancy fee, research
and development cost and travelling expenses. We have incurred $5,889,024 and $2,882,376 in selling, general and administrative expenses
through the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased year over year by
104.3%, or $3,006,648, primarily due to a special bonus of $1.25 million to Jack Wong, our Chief Executive Officer, in recognition of
his contributions in transforming the Company into a pioneer in the Net Zero building materials and carbon removal industry, increase
of consultancy fees (share-based compensation to nonemployees of $1,341,373) as the new agreements were entered into in the last 2 months
of the previous financial year, share based compensation to an employee and a director of $432,246 and $5,534 respectively, accrued professional
fees of $110,000 in relation to the planned uplisting to NASDAQ, and research and development cost of $300,000 payable to C-Twelve pursuant
to the C-Twelve Agreement.
Other
Operating Expenses
Total
other operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $214,410, a decrease of $22,637, or 9.5%, compared to $237,047 for the
year ended June 30 2024. Other operating expenses comprised of expenditure related to the maintenance of the plant for the production
and distribution of renewable commodities which was operating at reduced capacity due to strategic decisions of the Company. The decrease
was mainly attributable to the reduction in the direct labor cost related to the plant from $31,526 to $7,408 for the years ended June
30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Interest
expense
Total
interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $102,703, a decrease of $73,780, or 41.8%, compared to $176,483 for the year ended
June 30, 2024.The Company recorded interest expense of $86,456 and $116,916 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively,
on certain promissory notes issued to a related party as discussed in more detail in “Note 13 – Promissory Note to Related
Party” to our audited financial statements. Lease interest expenses amounted to $5,368 and $45,926 for the years ended June 30,
2025, and 2024, respectively. Bank loan interest amounted to $10,879 and $13,640 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The decrease in interest expenses is mainly due to settlement of lease liabilities associated with the disposal of an asset held for
sale and certain property, plant and equipment which were under financing arrangements, and the early conversion of promissory notes
with a principal amount of $675,888 on August 16, 2024.
Other
income
We
have other income of $1,341,711 for the year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1,267,073, or 1,697.6%, compared to $74,638 for the
year ended June 30, 2024. The significant increase in other income was primarily driven by gain on insurance claim of $481,513, gain
from disposal of property, plant and equipment of $164,624, interest income from placement of deposit with bank of $70,650 and unrealized
foreign exchange gain of $582,034. The remaining balance of other income mainly represented rental income earned.
Net
loss
As
a result of the above factors, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,783,013 for the year ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase
in net loss of $1,595,239, or 50%, compared to a net loss of $3,187,774 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Need
for Additional Capital
We
cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations and we have historically financed our operating activities through
the sale of our equity securities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including
limited capital resources, uncertain revenue streams, customer concentration, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and
possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We
have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms,
we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from private placements of our Common Stock. Cash generated from operations is highly
dependent on the sale of our products. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1 million as of June 30, 2025, and $0.3 million as of June
30, 2024.
The
following table provides selected cash flow data about our Company for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.

Cash Used in Operating Activities.
Cash
used in operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation expense, amortization of right
of use assets and stock-based compensation, and the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our net cash used in operating
activities increased $1,322,781, or 63.4%, from $2,087,990 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, to $3,410,771 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 2024 was primarily
due to operational loss of $4,783,013 offset by non-cash movements of $1,176,720 and net increase in working capital of $195,522. The
noncash expenses comprised $248,940 in depreciation, $102,857 in amortization, $1,341,373 in share based compensation to nonemployee,
$432,246 in share-based compensation to employees, $5,534 in share-based compensation to a director, $84,718 in interest expenses on
promissory notes, loss on disposal of assets held for sale of $2,877, impairment of property, plant and equipment of $137,632, impairment
of asset held for sale of $5,866, operating lease expense of $42,848 and offset by unrealized foreign exchange gain of $582,034, gain
from insurance claim of $481,513 and gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment of $164,624. The net increase in working capital
was generated from amount due to director, receivables from sale of inventories, other receivables, deposits and prepayments, and accrued
liabilities and other payables, offset against decrease of working capital from inventories, accounts payable, related parties and repayments
on leases.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions,
and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and
methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies described below are significantly affected
by critical accounting estimates. Such accounting policies require significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies.
1.
Useful Lives and Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The
Company’s property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. We depreciate
our property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 27.5 years for land
and buildings, 5 to 10 years for plant and machinery, and 3 to 10 years for other asset categories, including office equipment, computers,
motor vehicles, furniture and fittings, and renovations. The depreciation method and estimated useful lives reflect management’s
judgment based on historical experience, the nature of the assets, their anticipated use, and technological and economic factors.
The
estimation of useful lives is a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant management judgment and has a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements. Changes in the estimated useful lives of our assets could significantly affect the timing of
depreciation expense recognized in future periods. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, depreciation expense totaled $248,940
and $417,517, respectively.
We
periodically review the estimated useful lives of our assets and revise them when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
current estimates are no longer appropriate. We also review our assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
2.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets
We
assess long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and, for indefinite-lived intangible assets, at
least annually. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected from the asset or asset group.
If
the carrying value exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount
over fair value. Fair value is generally determined using valuation techniques that incorporate significant estimates and assumptions,
including projected future revenues, operating margins, and discount rates.
Our
indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of technology-related intellectual property associated with our carbon-negative
technology platform, which we expect to generate economic benefits over an indefinite period.
Assessment
Methodology
We
perform our annual impairment assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year in accordance
with ASC 350-30-35. We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value
of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates potential impairment,
or if we elect to bypass it, we perform a quantitative impairment test.
40
Table of Contents
For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, management performed a qualitative assessment. This assessment considered a range of factors, including
macroeconomic conditions, industry and market trends, cost factors, regulatory and legal developments, overall financial performance,
and internal reporting relative to management’s plans.
In
connection with this assessment, management developed projections of expected future performance, including anticipated commercialization
and scale-up activities associated with a key customer contract executed prior to the issuance of the financial statements. These projections
incorporated management’s expectations regarding pricing, production capabilities, and the Company’s ability to fulfill contractual
obligations.
Key
Assumptions and Estimates
Although
a quantitative impairment test was not required for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the qualitative assessment required the use
of significant estimates and assumptions that are consistent with those that would be used in a quantitative analysis. The key assumptions
that drive the estimated fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets include:
●
projected
pricing and demand for carbon removal credits;
●
expected
commercialization timelines associated with key customer agreements;
●
projected
revenue growth rates associated with scaling our carbon-negative technology platform;
●
anticipated
operating margins and cost structure as commercialization progresses; and
●
regulatory
developments and market conditions affecting the carbon removal industry.
These
assumptions are inherently uncertain and are based on management’s judgment regarding future business performance and market conditions.
Changes
in Assumptions Year Over Year
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, management updated its assumptions and projections to reflect current contractual developments,
including the execution of a new customer agreement, as well as changes in expected commercialization timing and near-term growth expectations.
These updates resulted in a revised outlook for projected future cash flows compared to prior periods.
For
context, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment that included key valuation inputs
such as a discount rate of approximately 9% and long-term inflation assumptions of approximately 2%, along with production capacity and
expansion assumptions tied to anticipated plant development. These assumptions were based on management’s expectations at that
time regarding market adoption, pricing, and operating performance.
Sensitivity
of Key Assumptions
Although
a quantitative impairment test was not required for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, management considered the sensitivity of key
assumptions underlying its qualitative assessment. Changes in key inputs, such as decreases in projected revenue growth rates, delays
in commercialization timelines, or adverse changes in carbon credit pricing, could reduce expected future cash flows and, in turn, the
estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, potentially resulting in the carrying value exceeding estimated fair
value. Similarly, increases in discount rates, if a quantitative analysis were performed, would reduce the present value of projected
cash flows and decrease estimated fair value. Adverse changes in market or regulatory conditions, including reduced demand for carbon
credits, could also negatively impact projected cash flows and fair value.
While
management did not perform a quantitative sensitivity analysis for the 2025 assessment, it evaluated whether reasonably possible changes
in key assumptions would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their carrying amount.
However, if actual results differ from these assumptions, such changes could result in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge
and a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Events
That Could Impact Future Valuations
Future
events that could result in a quantitative impairment test or an impairment charge include, among others:
●
significant
adverse changes in expected commercialization timelines under key customer contracts;
●
substantial
declines in expected pricing or demand for carbon removal credits;
●
material
increases in costs that negatively affect projected profitability;
●
inability
to fund contractual or operational commitments; and
●
adverse
regulatory or market developments affecting our carbon-negative technologies.

Table of Contents
Conclusion
Based
on the qualitative assessment performed for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, management concluded that it was not more likely than
not that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets was less than their carrying amount. Accordingly, no quantitative impairment
test was required and no impairment was recognized for these assets during the period.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
We
maintain an allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable and other financial instruments based on a current expected credit
loss (CECL) model under ASC 326. The allowance is estimated using a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical
loss experience, current economic conditions, customer-specific credit risk, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions.
Significant
judgment is involved in identifying relevant risk factors, evaluating the impact of macroeconomic variables (e.g., inflation, interest
rates, geopolitical instability), and determining the appropriate loss rates. A change in these factors could materially affect the timing
and amount of credit loss provisions.
As
of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable was $0 and $27,481, respectively.
4.
Revenue Recognition and Principal vs. Agent Determination
We
recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606 by identifying performance obligations in contracts, determining the transaction price,
and allocating the price to each performance obligation. Significant estimates and judgments are involved in determining the point in
time when control of a product transfers to the customer and whether we act as principal or agent in arrangements involving third-party
contributions to the delivery of goods.
These
judgments affect the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Factors considered include our role in the transaction, control of inventory
before transfer, and pricing discretion. Incorrect judgments could materially impact reported revenue and profitability.
5.
Stock-Based Compensation
We
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718-10, Compensation—Stock
Compensation, which requires all share-based payment arrangements with employees, directors, and nonemployees to be measured and recognized
in the financial statements based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
We
consider the accounting for stock-based compensation to be a critical accounting estimate due to the significant judgment and assumptions
involved in determining the grant date, estimating the fair value of the awards, and the timing and recognition of related expenses.
These estimates have a material impact on our results of operations.
For
both employee and nonemployee awards, the grant date is determined based on the date of final Board approval of the award, in accordance
with ASC 718. The fair value of stock awards is generally determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the grant date.
For awards where the grant date has not yet been established but the service inception date has commenced, we accrue compensation expense
based on the estimated fair value of our Common Stock at the end of each reporting period, which may introduce variability in the reported
compensation expense.
As
of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded accrued compensation costs related to these arrangements of $89,165 and $274,870,
respectively.

In
certain instances, we issue share-based awards to nonemployees that are fully vested and nonforfeitable upon issuance, including awards
issued in advance of receiving goods or services. In such cases, we recognize prepaid share-based compensation in accordance with ASC
718-10-45-3, which is recorded as an asset upon issuance and expensed as the related goods or services are received. The fair value of
such awards is determined at the grant date based on the market price of our Common Stock.
These
awards are legally issued, fully vested and nonforfeitable upon issuance, and the recipients obtain the same ownership rights as all
other holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the shares are recorded within stockholders’ equity upon issuance,
while the related prepaid share-based compensation is recognized as an asset and amortized over the applicable service period, in accordance
with ASC 718, as the related services are received.
If
the related services are not completed, we will evaluate the remaining unamortized prepaid share-based compensation and will reverse
amounts associated with unperformed services through additional paid in capital (APIC). In such circumstances, we shall seek to negotiate
the voluntary cancellation of shares previously issued; however, such shares are not subject to contractual forfeiture, repurchase, or
automatic cancellation provisions. If a cancellation agreement is executed, the related Common Stock and APIC associated with the cancelled
shares are reversed.
During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized total share-based compensation expense as follows:

The
fair value of our Common Stock, particularly in periods of volatility, is a key source of estimation uncertainty. Changes in assumptions
or market conditions could significantly impact the fair value of awards and the related compensation expense.
6.
Deferred Taxes and Valuation Allowances
We
assess the realizability of deferred tax assets by evaluating both positive and negative evidence, including future taxable income, tax
planning strategies, and recent financial performance. If it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
Judgment
is required to estimate future taxable income and assess the impact of economic trends or changes in tax law. Adjustments to valuation
allowances could materially impact our income tax expense or benefit.
We
believe the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and appropriate. However,
actual results could differ materially from those estimates, which could have a significant impact on our financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows.

Capital
As
of June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had cash and cash equivalent of $1,021,112, representing an increase of $741,975, or 265.8%, compared to
$279,137 as of June 30, 2024, respectively. Deposits with banks decreased by $723,516, or 36%, from $2,000,000 as of June 30, 2024, to
$1,276,484 as of June 30, 2025. The Company’s accumulated operating losses increased by $4,782,977, or approximately 35%, from
$13,480,204 as of June 30, 2024 to $18,263,181 as of June 30, 2025.
Related
Party Transactions
On
March 13, 2023, the Company and its former indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Champmark Sdn Bhd (“CSB”) entered into a Settlement
of Debts Agreement (the “SDA Agreement”) for the settlement in full of CSB’s account payable to a related party, Borneo
Oil Corporation Sdn Bhd (“BOC”) by way of the issuance of a two year term Promissory Note with the face value (principal)
amount of $675,888, and bearing 2% coupon interest. The Note was repayable by May 12, 2025, either in cash or by the issuance of the
Company’s restricted Common Stock priced at $0.07 per share at the discretion of the holder of the Promissory Note. A total of
9,655,542 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock were issued on August 16, 2024, to Borneo Oil Berhad, the appointed nominee
of the Creditor, to settle in full the total of $675,888 of CSB’s account payable to the Creditor.
This
transaction allowed us to eliminate the outstanding debt without the use of cash and resulted in a corresponding increase in stockholders’
equity. The reacquisition price of the debt was at the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock represented by the closing quoted
market price of $0.29 per share on its issuance date, August 16, 2024. The Company accounted for this transaction as a capital transaction
which represented a distribution to an equity holder and therefore was not charged to earnings. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized
in the consolidated statements of operations. We believe this transaction strengthens our balance sheet and improves our liquidity position
by reducing liabilities through equity-based financing.
