ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, while improved, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted below.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a -15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors or misstatements in our financial statements. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, 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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. With the participation of our principal executive and principal financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, along with applicable SEC guidance. Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that, while we have improved upon our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on the COSO framework, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted below.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers from the internal control audit requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Material Weaknesses
We identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the issuing company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
1)
Segregation of duties – Certain key duties and responsibilities were not adequately segregated due to the lean structure of our finance function, which relied on a limited number of individuals. While this structure enabled agility during our transition to a sustainability-focused enterprise, it increased the risk of error or fraud.
2)
Formalized processes and documentation – Although effective practices were in place, we lacked sufficiently formalized and documented policies, procedures, and controls related to the preparation, review, and approval of financial reporting, including management review controls.
3)
Regulatory Reporting – Lack of financial personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience with SEC regulations and reporting.
4)
Internal audit function – We did not maintain a dedicated internal audit function to independently assess and monitor the effectiveness of internal controls. The absence of such a function limited our ability to perform ongoing, independent evaluations of the control environment.
5)
Audit Committee – lack of a functioning audit committee.
Therefore, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
In order to cure the foregoing material weakness, we have taken or intend to take the following remediation measures:
1)
We have been working on recruitment of more management talents and professional staff to fill in the gap of shortage of personnel, including by the hiring of our chief financial officer, Sherina Chui, on May 1, 2025. With our anticipated expansion of operations, management intends to continuously evaluate the adequacy and skillset of our human capital resources.
2)
We have regularly offered our financial personnel trainings on internal control and risk management. Also, we have regularly provided trainings to our financial personnel, including our financial consultants, on U.S. GAAP accounting guidelines. We plan to continue to provide trainings to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the U.S. GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to our financial reporting requirements.
3)
We have engaged with an external consultant to help facilitate our compliance with regulatory reporting requirements. We utilize this third-party independent contractor for the preparation of our financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third-party independent contractor is not involved in our day-to-day operations and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions

4)
We have appointed an independent non-employee director in July 2025, and we intend to appoint additional independent directors to assist in the corporate governance process, assessment of our processes relating to our risks and control environment, oversight of our financial reporting, evaluation of our internal and independent audit processes and establishment of a functioning audit committee.
We intend to pursue the courses of action discussed above as soon as practicable, but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources towards maintaining a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weakness that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Compensation Recovery Policy
On October 23, 2025, our Board of Directors adopted a policy (commonly known as a “clawback” policy) which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation to certain of our officers in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by us with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws. This policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, related rules and the listing standards of Nasdaq Stock Market or any other securities exchange on which our shares are listed in the future. The policy is administered by Board of Directors or, if so designated by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof. Any determinations made by the shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
We currently grant equity awards to our employees at the discretion of the Board. We do not have a written policy regarding the timing of equity awards, but we do not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, nor do we time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates.

ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
As of October 20, 2025, we had 1,269,280,891 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 20, 2025:

·
each executive officer and director of the Company; and
·

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including securities that are exercisable or convertible, as the case may be, within 60 days of October 20, 2025. Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such securities are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such securities and the percentage of any group of which the person is a member but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, the combined Company believes, based on the information furnished to it, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions
All future transactions between us and our officers, directors or five percent stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent directors who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel. As a general rule, conducting corporate business with a relative or significant other, or with a business in which a relative or significant other is associated in any significant role, should be avoided. Relatives include spouse, sister, brother, daughter, son, mother, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, step relationships, and in-laws. Significant others include persons living in a spousal (including same sex) or familial fashion with an employee. We must report all such material related party transactions under applicable accounting rules, federal securities laws, SEC rules and regulations, and securities market rules. Any dealings with a related party must be conducted in such a way that no preferential treatment is given to such business.
Indemnification Under Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by Nevada corporate law and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
VERDE RESOURCES, INC.
Opinion on the Financial Statement
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Verde Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the ‘Company’) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit 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 audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current year audit of the financial statements that were communicated or are required to be communicated to the audit committee, or in their absence, the directors, and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment Assessment of Intellectual Properties
As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the intangible assets comprise intellectual properties acquired from third parties and were measured initially at fair value. The intellectual properties are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not being amortized. The Company’s evaluation of its acquired intellectual properties for potential impairment involved significant judgement. As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, management performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the intangible asset is impaired. This assessment considered various factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market trends, cost factors, overall financial performance, legal and regulatory environment factors and relevant internal reporting and management’s plans.
We identified the qualitative impairment assessment of the intellectual properties as a critical audit matter due to the subjective nature of management’s assumptions, the complexity of evaluating multiple qualitative factors, and the materiality of the asset to the financial statements. Auditing this matter required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort.
Our audit procedures related to the qualitative impairment assessment included the following:
i)
Evaluated the appropriateness of management’s qualitative assessment framework in accordance with ASC 350;
ii)
Discussions with key management of the Company to understand the future plans and direction of the Company;
iii)
Assessed the completeness and relevance of the qualitative factors considered by management;
iv)
Critically evaluated management’s assessment on a high level for their rationale and justification of the assumptions used and agreed these with external public data and signed agreements, where applicable;
v)
Interviewed operational personnel of the Company and corroborated the understanding of management’s future plans and their assumptions;
vi)
Obtained the internal forecasts prepared by management for the future direction of the Company and obtained an understanding of how the forecast indirectly related to the future use of the intellectual properties;
vii)
Reviewed the internal forecasts prepared by management including evaluation of the reasonableness of the assumptions used and agreed the key inputs to supporting documents;
viii)
Interviewed key management and a key supplier of the Company to confirm their commitment and readiness to support the Company in its plans;
ix)
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the internal forecasts prepared by management;
x)
Reviewed the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements to ensure compliance with the requirements of ASC 350.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Verde Resources, Inc. (the “We” or “Company” or “VRDR”) was incorporated on April 22, 2010, in the State of Nevada, U.S.A.
The Company is a road construction and building materials company offering proprietary, environmentally sustainable materials, with the goal to drive innovations that enhance sustainability and advance environmental stewardship. By integrating biochar, a highly effective carbon sequester and performance enhancer, the Company intends to facilitate the industry’s transition to zero emissions. The Company believes its approach reduces greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, optimizes the use of native soils and recycled materials, speeds installation, and improves efficiency while cutting costs. Since June 2023 the Company’s strategic focus has been on testing the Company’s biochar asphalt technology through the Company’s subsidiary, Verde Renewables Inc., at the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) test track. This endeavor with NCAT is rigorously testing the Company’s innovative biochar asphalt technology, which is intended to provide superior performance, environmental sustainability, and the generation of carbon removal and avoidance credits.
In December 2024, Verde Resources, in collaboration with C-Twelve, successfully demonstrated its pioneering biochar-asphalt technology at the NCAT test track in Auburn, Alabama. The project showcased the ability to retrofit an existing asphalt plant to produce cold-mix biochar asphalt under winter conditions without the use of heat, solvents, or odors, resulting in an estimated 50% increase in installation efficiency compared to conventional methods.
The demonstration sequestered approximately eight (8) tons of carbon, verified and certified under Puro.earth in collaboration with Oregon Biochar Solutions. This achievement marked what the Company believes to be the world’s first carbon removal credits generated through asphalt production and installation. The credits, issued and sold in April 2025, were pre-purchased by one of the world’s largest financial institutions focused on Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDRs). The Company refers to this integrated model of combining low-carbon materials, operational efficiency, and verified carbon removal credit generation as the “Verde Net Zero Blueprint.”
In July 2025 the Company received early validation based on performance results from NCAT which demonstrated consistent durability, particularly under low-volume roadway conditions. Further in September 2025, NCAT’s latest evaluation of Verde’s cold recycling mix using 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (“RAP”) from laboratory testing demonstrated that Verde’s cold-recycled mix not only meets but exceeds industry specifications for cold-recycled asphalt. 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.
Puro.earth, the crediting platform for durable carbon removal, has officially registered the Company as a Carbon Removal Credit supplier as part of its Accelerate program. This registration was formalized through a platform agreement signed in April 2023. The Company’s endeavors are positioned to potentially create additional revenue opportunities through the generation of carbon removal credits (CORCs). The Company believes that the generation of CORCs and the demand for CORCs incentivizes the broader adoption of climate technologies and enables the Company to supply these credits to companies seeking to offset their carbon footprint in pursuit of net-zero objectives. Simultaneously, this approach creates the potential for an additional and substantial revenue stream for the Company.
The Company’s current priority is the successful commercialization of its technology in North America, and if that commercialization is successful, the Company intends to introduce the same blueprint in Malaysia. Ongoing discussions with PLUS Malaysia, the country’s largest highway operator, signal a growing demand for biochar in the region. This demand, coupled with the certification, could enable the BioFraction™ plant to secure a reliable client, ensuring the resumption of normal operations in Malaysia with the potential for significant scale-up over time.
During the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company achieved the following major milestones on its path to commercialization of its biochar-asphalt technology and achieving “net-zero”:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)
On June 27, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with The National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University ("NCAT") to undertake a 3-year Performance Testing Project titled “Structural Capacity of Sustainable Pavement” (the “Project”). The Project, led by Dr. Nam Tran, Associate Director and Research Professor at NCAT, involved a comprehensive performance testing on the NCAT Test Track in Opelika, Alabama. This facility, sponsored by various state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and in partnership with the Minnesota Road Research Facility (MnROAD), is dedicated to advancing sustainable pavement technologies. Success in this Project is expected to drive widespread adoption of a net-zero road construction blueprint by DOTs across the United States and the federal DOT. The Project commenced on June 24, 2024, and is expected to conclude on September 30, 2027, with the first draft of the final report expected in Spring 2027.
On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “NPI MOU”) with Nature Plus Inc. (“NPI”) to formalize the collaboration on the NCAT Project referred to above Test Track Project (the “Project”) and explore subsequent business opportunities arising from the successful completion of the Project. The Project involved the application of TerraZyme technology for the stability of subgrade and base layers, with the overarching goal of advancing road construction methodologies. The Company and NPI will jointly develop mixed designs and materials incorporating biochar, aimed at enhancing performance and promoting carbon sequestration. The NPI MOU shall be effective until December 31, 2026, or until replaced by a subsequent distributor agreement. Upon the successful completion of the Project, the Company and NPI intend to continue the collaboration on future initiatives, including soil stabilization and material development, carbon removal credits, certification and compliance, and exclusive rights to distributing TerraZyme.
On October 16, 2024, the Company formed a new subsidiary, VerdePlus Inc. (“VerdePlus”), a Missouri corporation in partnership with Nature Plus Inc. (“NPI”) for the purpose of conducting business on the production of low-carbon building materials by integrating the Company’s expertise with the innovative stabilization enzyme TerraZyme, an intellectual property of NPI to be injected into VerdePlus. The Company and NPI owned 55% and 45% of VerdePlus, respectively.
On October 18, 2024, the Company entered into a binding Term Sheet with C-Twelve Pty Ltd (“C-Twelve”), a corporation incorporated in Western Australia, granting the Company (i) an exclusive license to utilize its proprietary binder and biochar asphalt mixed designs (the “Licensed Technology”) for the production and commercialization of asphalt surfacing-related products (the “End Products”) within the United States of America and (ii) the first right of refusal to extend the exclusive licensing of the Licensed Technology to other countries and territories subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon. Subsequently on May 19, 2025, the Company and C-Twelve entered into a definitive agreement, namely the Joint Development Agreement (“C-Twelve Agreement”) which provides for a 10 year license commencing May 19, 2025.
On October 10, 2025, Verde Renewables entered into a license agreement with Ergon, pursuant to which the Company granted 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 Verde V24 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, in exchange for Ergon agreeing to purchase Verde V24 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
·
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
·
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets (including intangible assets), allowance for expected credit losses, revenue recognition, share based compensation, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position.
The inputs into the management’s judgments and estimates consider the geopolitical tension, inflationary and high-interest rate environment and other macroeconomic factors on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
·
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Verde Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations . The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date.
·
Segment Reporting
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company has three reportable business segments.
Sales and operating income as the primary measures of segment profit or loss to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. The CODM assesses these metrics and compares actuals to budgeted and forecasted values to evaluate segment operating performance and allocate resources to the operating segments. Expenses related to certain centralized administration or executive functions that are not specifically related to an operating segment are included in Corporate Unallocated.
·
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents, deposit with banks and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
·
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company newly operates in the supply of net zero road constructions and building materials are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with a production operation for renewable commodities, including the potential risk of business failure.

·
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash in banks, money market funds, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase, which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $ 1,021,112 and $ 279,137 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
At June 30, 2025, and 2024, cash and cash equivalents consisted of petty cash on hand and cash in banks.
·
Deposits with Banks
Deposits held for investments that are not debt securities are included in short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Investments in time deposits with original maturities of more than three months but remaining maturities of less than one year are considered short-term investments. Investments held with the intent to reinvest or hold for longer than a year, or with remaining maturities of one year or more, are considered long-term investments.
·
Accounts Receivables
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at amortized cost. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit loss to provide for the estimated number of receivables that will not be collected. The Company considers several factors in its estimate of the allowance, including knowledge of a client’s financial condition, its historical collection experience, and other factors relevant to assessing the collectability of such receivables. Bad debts are written off against allowances. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging, ongoing business relation and other factors. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. If accounts receivable are to be provided for, or written off, they would be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within operating expenses. As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the longest credit term for certain customers are 60 to 90 days .
At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for expected credit loss for accounts receivables amounted to $ 0 and $ 27,481 respectively, and for other receivables amounted to $ 33,939 and $ 29,842 respectively.
·
Expected Credit Loss
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology will result in earlier recognition of losses than under the previous incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets may be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures. The Company adopted the new standard effective July 1, 2023, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year and applied to accounts receivable and other financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the net earning and financial position and has no impact on the cash flows.
·
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value), cost being determined on a first-in-first-out method. Cost of raw materials include cost of materials and incidental costs in bringing the inventory to its current location. Costs of finished goods, on the other hand include material, labor and overhead costs. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined principally by customer demand.
As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the write down of inventories amounted to $ 0 and $ 15,587 respectively, and inventories written off amounted to $ 0 and $ 5,978 respectively.
·
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Expected useful life
Land and buildings
3 - 27.5 years
Plant and machinery
5 - 10 years
Office equipment
3 years
Computers
5 years
Motor vehicles

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterment which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income in other income or expenses.
Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled $ 248,940 and $ 417,517 , respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the impairment loss on plant and machinery amounted to $ 137,632 and $ 134,042 respectively, and plant and machinery written off amounted to $ 0 and $ 3,979 respectively.
·
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired from third parties are measured initially at fair value and those with an infinite live are not amortized. The Company annually evaluates the recoverability of the infinite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. To test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds its fair value. If it is, a quantitative assessment is required. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative impairment test. The qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions and changes in projected future cash flows. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess. Fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. If such a review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not record an impairment on the intangible assets.
·
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets as held-for-sale (“disposal group”) in the period when all of the relevant criteria to be classified as held for sale are met. These criteria include management’s commitment to sell the disposal group in its present condition and the sale being deemed probable of being completed within one year. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. The fair values of disposal groups are estimated using accepted valuation techniques, including indicative listing prices. The Company considers historical experience, guidance received from third parties, and all information available at the time the estimates are made to derive fair value. Any loss resulting from the measurement is recognized in the period when the held for sale criteria are met. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the initial carrying value of the disposal group. Assets held-for-sale are not amortized or depreciated.
The impairment loss on assets held for sale for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 5,866 and $ 0 respectively.
·
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , all long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
·
Advance to Supplier
Advance to supplier is provided for the provision of goods and services and they are secured either by a security deposit or a legally enforceable right to recover.
As of June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded a write-off of $ 0 and $ 177,200 respectively.

·
Revenue Recognition
ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.
The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfils its obligations under each of its agreements:
·
identify the contract with a customer;
·
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
·
determine the transaction price;
·
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer that obtains control of the product and collection is reasonably assured. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. Most of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Accordingly, the transaction price is allocated in its entirety to the single performance obligation and recognized upon its fulfilment.
The Company considers customer order confirmations, whether formal or otherwise, to be a contract with the customer. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.
The Company also follows the guidance provided in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for determining whether the Company is the principal or an agent in arrangements with customers that involve another party that contributes to the provision of goods to a customer. In these instances, the Company determines whether it has promised to provide the goods itself (as principal) or to arrange for the specified goods to be provided by another party (as an agent). This determination is a matter of judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of each arrangement.
The Company derives its revenue from the sale of products and services in its role as a principal.
·
Rental income
Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the respective lease agreement.
·
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of goods sold, which are directly attributable to the sales of products.
·
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. The Company uses rate implicit in the lease to determine the present value of future lease payments to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities.
ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.
ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU assets are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.
The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of June 30, 2025, and 2024.
The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the five criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value and v) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. At the inception of a finance lease, we as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to us, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with our depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to us. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 842.
·
Income Taxes
The Company adopted the ASC Topic 740, Income tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
·
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC Topic 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.
·
Foreign Currencies Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States dollars. The Company and its subsidiaries in the United States have functional currency of US$ whereas the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Malaysia is Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”). The functional currencies represent the primary currencies of the economic environment in which the respective companies’ operations are conducted.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
For reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “ Translation of Financial Statements ”, capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from MYR at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the respective year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements subsidiaries to the reporting currency are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
Translation of MYR into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates for the following periods:-
June 30, 2025
June 30, 2024
Year-end MYR:US$ exchange rate
0.23650
0.21199
Annualized average MYR:US$ exchange rate
0.22874
0.21316
·
Comprehensive Income
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

·
Non-controlling Interest
The Company accounts for non-controlling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present non-controlling interests as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
·
Net Loss per Share
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share . Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Non-vested share-based payment awards are excluded from the basic EPS calculation. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued, including those granted but are non-vested and are non-forfeitable, and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted average common shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. Hence no common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per shares since such inclusion would have been antidilutive.
·
Stock Cancellation and Reissuance Policy
The Company may cancel shares of its Common Stock that have been repurchased or otherwise reacquired, including shares acquired through share repurchase programs or forfeited under equity compensation plans. Canceled shares are retired and removed from the issued and outstanding share count in accordance with applicable corporate law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
Upon cancellation, the par value of the shares is deducted from common stock, and any excess of repurchase cost over the par value is charged against additional paid-in capital (APIC) or retained earnings, as applicable. If the original issuance price is not known or determinable, the cost is first charged to APIC to the extent available, with any remaining amount charged to retained earnings.
The Company accounts for reissuance of treasury shares in accordance with ASC 505-30 – Equity: Treasury Stock . Treasury shares may be reissued for various purposes, including the settlement of employee equity awards, acquisitions, or other corporate purposes.
When treasury shares are reissued:
·
The proceeds received upon reissuance are credited to treasury stock at the cost of the shares.
·
Any difference between the reissuance price and the cost of the treasury shares is recorded as an adjustment to Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC).
-
If the reissuance price exceeds the cost, the excess is credited to APIC.
-
If the reissuance price is less than the cost and APIC related to treasury stock transactions is insufficient to absorb the difference, the remainder is charged to Retained Earnings.

The Company uses the cost method to account for treasury stock transactions. Reissued shares are included in the number of shares issued and outstanding as of the date of reissuance.
·
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation , which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both non-employees and employees based on fair values of the shares at grant date. Market prices of the Company’s Common Stock at the respective issuance date, which represents the date of the final board approval for the issuance of the shares, is concluded to be the grant date, in accordance with ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.
Prepaid share-based compensation is recorded when the Company issues fully vested, nonforfeitable share-based payment awards to nonemployees on the grant date, when the nonemployee earns the right to receive and where no specific performance is required by the nonemployee to retain those equity instruments, in accordance with ASC 718-10-45-3. The prepayment is recorded where the shares are issued before the financial year end in accordance with the grant date and represents the fair value of goods or services that are to be received from the nonemployee subsequent to the financial year end.
Compensation cost for awards that do not have an established accounting grant date, but for which the service inception date has been established is based on the best estimate of fair value of Company's Common Stock at the end of each reporting period and a corresponding accrual is recorded. During the financial year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 89,165 and $ 274,870 respectively, were recorded as accrued compensation cost for these share-based payment arrangements.
Share-based compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for employees and over the vesting period for nonemployees. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
During the financial year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 1,341,373 and $ 252,369 respectively, were recorded as share based compensation expenses for non-employees.
During the financial year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 432,246 and $ 135,679 respectively, were recorded as share based compensation for employees.
During the financial year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 5,534 and $ 0 respectively, were recorded as share based compensation for director.
·
Retirement Plan Costs
Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operation as the related employee service are provided.
·
Related Parties
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

·
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
·
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits with bank, loan and fee receivable, prepayments and other receivables, amounts due from related parties, accrued liabilities and other payables, loans payable, amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended June 30, 2025, there have been no new, or existing, recently issued accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, that impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. The key amendments include annual and interim disclosures of significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of profit or loss, as well as any other key measure of performance used for segment management decisions. This ASU also requires disclosure of key profitability measures used in assessing performance and how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 and this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s income tax information, including jurisdictional information, by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in both the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively; this ASU allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards , which provides illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for as share based payment arrangements within the scope of ASC 718. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025 01”) . ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (Topic 470), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.

In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-02, Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122 . The amendments in this Update are effective immediately and on a fully retrospective basis to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer to incorporate conditions that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases or potential purchases. ASU 2025-04 also eliminates the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for awards with service conditions. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that ASC 606 variable consideration guidance does not apply to share-based payments to customers; instead, vesting probability should be assessed solely under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASU 2025-04 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-04 may be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and believes the future adoption of any such pronouncements may not be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

Plant and machinery and motor vehicles with carrying values of $ 0 at June 30, 2025 ($ 7,688 and $ 98,362 respectively at June 30, 2024) are acquired under financing arrangements.
On December 10, 2024, CEO Jack Wong entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with VRI to purchase the Property at the current market value of $ 857,500 with payment in equal installments over 26 pay cycles. Pursuant to the Agreement, VRI shall immediately transfer ownership of the Property to CEO Jack Wong by Warranty Deed, free of encumbrances except as specified in the Agreement. The transfer of title was completed on December 19, 2024.
NOTE 8 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The intangible assets comprise (i) a global intellectual property (“IP”) of $ 30,192,771 known as “Catalytic Biofraction Process”, whereby, subsidiary Bio Resources Limited (“BRL”) is the beneficial and/or registered proprietor and (ii) an exclusive license assigned to Verde Malaysia for the operation of the IP in the state of Sabah, Malaysia of MYR 14,000,000 ($ 3,311,000 ).
The “Catalytic Biofraction Process” is a slow pyrolysis process using a proprietary catalyst to depolymerize palm biomass waste (empty fruit bunches or palm kernel shells) in temperature range of 350 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius to yield commercially valuable bio products: bio-oil, wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid), biochar and bio-syngas. The intellectual property is a second-generation pyrolysis process where non-food feedstock like palm biomass waste is used as feedstock. Upon fulfilling UN’s (United Nations) ACM 22 protocol as well as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) requirements, it is anticipated that the by-products from this IP would lead to certification and issuance of Carbon Avoidance Credits as well as Carbon Removal Credits to generate carbon revenue for the Company.
The Company has identified these intangible assets as indefinite life intangible assets as there are currently no legal, competitive, economic or other factors that materially limit the useful life of the Company’s intangible assets.
ASC 350-30-35, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other , provides for an option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an asset is impaired. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is not required. If the qualitative assessment does not support the fair value of the asset, then a quantitative assessment is performed. Our annual impairment assessment of our identifiable indefinite lived intangible assets is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year. An assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment, during the fourth quarter of 2025, to determine whether it was more likely than not that the carrying amounts of its intangible assets were impaired. This assessment considered a number of qualitative factors, including but not limited to:
·
Macroeconomic conditions,
·
Industry and market trends,
·
Cost factors,
·
Overall financial performance of the asset,
·
Legal and regulatory environment, and
·
Relevant internal reporting and management’s plans.
Based on this qualitative assessment, management did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets are not recoverable. The qualitative impairment assessment of the indefinite intangible assets indicated that the fair value of such assets exceeded their carrying value and therefore were not at risk of impairment. Accordingly, no quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary, and no impairment losses were recognized for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The Company performed a quantitative assessment during the fourth quarter of 2024. As of the date of the annual assessment for 2024, management’s impairment assessment of the indefinite intangible assets indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company’s intangible assets exceeded their carrying values and therefore no impairment losses were recognized for the year ended June 30, 2024.

NOTE 14 - LEASES
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases and determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.
Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The effective tax rate in the years presented is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rate. The Company mainly operates in U.S.A. and Malaysia that is subject to taxes in the jurisdictions in which they operate, as follows:
United States of America
VRDR, VRI, VerdePlus and VLI are subject to the tax laws of United States of America. The U.S. corporate income tax rate is 21 % effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company has not accrued or paid interest or penalties which were not material to its results of operations for the periods presented.
The Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $ 2,090,801 on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of $ 9,956,196 as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.
Net Operating Losses (NOLs) generated prior to January 1, 2018, are able to be carried forward up to twenty subsequent years. Any NOLs created for tax years subsequent to that may be carried forward indefinitely. However, any NOLs arising from tax years ending after December 31, 2020, can only be used to offset up to 80 % of taxable income.
For the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, there were no operating income under the applicable U.S. tax regime.
BVI
Under the current BVI law, VRAP is not subject to tax on income.
Labuan
Under the current laws of the Labuan applicable to BRL, income derived from an intellectual property right is subject to tax under the Malaysian Income Tax Act 1967 (ITA) at 24 % of its chargeable income. However, BRL is not subject to income tax, given that it was a net loss position during the current period presented. The losses are presently not able to be carried forward to offset against its future operation income as income generating activities have not yet been undertaken.

(b)
Economic and political risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in U.S.A. and Malaysia. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in U.S.A. and Malaysia, as well as the general state of U.S.A. and Malaysia’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Further, the escalation tensions in the Middle East, including the continuing Russian – Ukraine conflict may impact the global economic situation, which indirectly may impact the Company’s operations.
(c)
Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of losses for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of MYR converted to USD on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.

Test Results
In July 2025, Verde Resources Inc. received encouraging preliminary performance results from the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) regarding its Cold-Mix Biochar-Asphalt test section at NCAT’s Test Track—installed in December 2024. After approximately 50,000 equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) of heavy truck traffic, the asphalt surface remained flexible and demonstrated consistent durability, particularly under low-volume roadway conditions, as confirmed by NCAT's Assistant Director for Test Track Research, Mr. Nathan Moore. This demonstration marks the world’s first deployment of a carbon‑sequestering asphalt material engineered to maintain competitive strength and flexibility for road applications. Verde announced this milestone in a press release on July 28, 2025.
In September 2025, NCAT’s latest evaluation of Verde’s cold recycling mix using 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (“RAP”) further validated the testing results of our proprietary formulation. Laboratory testing conducted in accordance with ASTM D6927 (Marshall Stability and Flow), ASTM D6931 (Indirect Tensile Strength), and AASHTO T283 (Moisture Susceptibility) demonstrated that Verde’s cold-recycled mix not only meets but exceeds industry specifications for cold-recycled asphalt. 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.
Addendum to C-Twelve Agreement
Effective October 8, 2025, the Company entered into an addendum to the Joint Development Agreement (the “C-Twelve Addendum”) with C-Twelve pursuant to which (i) C-Twelve approved the Company’s entry into the License Agreement with Ergon, (ii) the exclusive territory granted to Verde under the Joint Development Agreement is expanded to comprise the United States of America (including all states, territories, and regions thereof), Canada and Mexico, (iii) the Company agreed to pay an additional $1 million in exclusive licensing fees for the expanded territories of Canada and Mexico, which shall be paid concurrently with the $2 million loan previously agreed upon under the Joint Development Agreement (the “C-Twelve Loan”) and (iv) the Company agreed to a potential conditional fee payment to C-Twelve in 2027 based on agreed to minimum amounts of liters of Verde 24 which the Company may purchase from C-Twelve. The Company is required to fund the C-Twelve Loan and the additional $1 million fee to C-Twelve (the proceeds of which are expected to be used by C-Twelve in part to enhance its Verde 24 manufacturing capability) within thirty (30) days of closing of a transaction in which our Common Stock becomes listed on a U.S. national exchange, provided that if such funding is not achieved by July 31, 2026, C-Twelve shall have the right, on ten (10) business days’ notice, to hold us in breach of the Joint Development Agreement.
Ergon License
On October 10, 2025, Verde Renewables entered into a license agreement with Ergon, pursuant to which the Company has 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 the Company’s proprietary cold mix biochar asphalt emulsifying agent, Verde V24, in the United States (including its territories), Canada and Mexico, in exchange for Ergon agreeing to purchase Verde V24 from the Company 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.
The Company has 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 the Company in good faith towards the establishment of possible minimum purchase amounts based on certain customary factors. The Company has also agreed with Ergon that if minimum purchase amounts are agreed to for any given calendar year, the Company and Ergon will agree in good faith to new minimum purchase amounts for each subsequent year, subject to consideration of customary factors.
The Company has also agreed to provide Ergon with forty percent (40%) of its 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 the Company.
The Ergon License additionally grants Ergon the right to use the Company’s trademarks and access to ongoing technical services to facilitate the monitoring, reporting, and verification process of each ton of carbon dioxide sequestered.
The term of the Ergon License is ten (10) years, with an automatic renewal for additional ten (10) year periods, subject to a minimum of six (6) months’ notice of cancellation prior to renewal. The Ergon License may be terminated in the event of non-payment of amounts due, initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, or under other customary terms. Additionally, Ergon may terminate the Ergon License upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice in the event that our Chief Executive Officer, Jack Wong, or our Chief Operating Officer, Eric Bava, are removed from their respective positions with the Company for reasons other than termination for cause or voluntary resignation. The Ergon License additionally contains provisions regarding confidentiality, indemnification, and representations and warranties of the parties that are customary for such an agreement.
Entry into Non-binding Term Sheet for an Equity Financing
On October 10, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with Ergon for a $ 2 million investment by Ergon in the Company.
