9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In
accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of December 31, 2025 and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as
of that date.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
● pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of our assets;
● provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation
of 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
● provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions,
use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
may vary over time.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
Based
on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Because
we qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject
to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s
report in this Annual Report.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Delinquent

Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and those who beneficially own more than 10% of shares of our
common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock with the SEC. You can view
these reports on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
To
our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations from our current
directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all Section 16
filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors and those who beneficially own more than 10% of shares of our common stock

Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Ethics”), which is applicable to all of our directors,
officers, and employees. The Code of Ethics is publicly available in the “Governance” section of the “Investors”
tab on the Company’s website at https://www.tenholdingsinc.com/. There were no waivers from compliance with or amendments to the
Code of Ethics during year ended December 31, 2025. We intend to post any amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics that apply
to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions,

Corporate
Governance
There
have been no material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Loss
of Controlled Company Status
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, V-Cube, Inc. beneficially owned, directly and indirectly, more than a majority of the aggregate voting
power of our outstanding common stock. V-Cube, Inc. is a Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and its chief executive
officer, Naoaki Mashita, served as our Director from February 2024 to February 2026. As a result of this
shareholding structure, we were a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules until December 30,
2025. As a “controlled company,” we were permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from certain corporate governance
requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules, including:
● the
requirement that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors;
● the
requirement that our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors
or that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised entirely of independent
directors; and
● the
requirement that we have a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent
directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.
We
have historically relied on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules However, as of the date of
this Annual Report, V-Cube, Inc. no longer owns a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As such, we no longer
qualify as a “controlled company” and accordingly, on February 2, 2026, we formed a compensation committee and a nominating
and corporate governance committee. We have also ceased our reliance on the exemption applicable to newly public companies relating to
a majority independent board and have appointed independent directors representing a majority of our Board.
38
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Audit
Committee . We have established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and adopted a charter for the Audit Committee.
The charter can be found in the “Governance” section of the “Investors” tab on the Company’s website at
https://www.tenholdingsinc.com/. Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Yuji Ishida, Mr. Gan Yong Sheng, and Ms. Christina Maldonado. Mr.
Yuji Ishida is the chair of our Audit Committee. We have determined that Mr. Yuji Ishida, Mr. Gan Yong Sheng and Ms. Christina Maldonado
satisfy the “independence” requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board has
also determined that Mr. Yuji Ishida qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the SEC rules or possesses
financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting
processes and the audits of the financial statements of our Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:
● appointing
the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted
to be performed by the independent auditors;
● reviewing
with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;
● discussing
the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;

● meeting
separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and

compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy
and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.
Compensation
Committee . Because we are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of
Nasdaq, on February 2, 2026, we formed a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and adopted a charter for
the Compensation Committee, as required by Nasdaq listing rules. The charter can be found in the “Governance” section of
the “Investors” tab on the Company’s website at https://www.tenholdingsinc.com/. Christina Maldonado is the sole member
of our Compensation Committee and serves as the chair of our Compensation Committee. We have determined that Ms. Christina Maldonado
satisfies the “independence” requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. We are currently relying on a phase-in period under
Nasdaq listing rules which allows us to phase in our compliance with certain Nasdaq listing rules over a one year period beginning on
the date that the Company ceased to be a “controlled company.” Pursuant to this phase-in period, the Company will be required
to add a second member to the Compensation Committee within one year of the date that the Company ceased to be a “controlled company.”
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee . Because we are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate
governance standards of Nasdaq, on February 2, 2026, we formed a nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee”) and adopted a charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charter can
be found in the “Governance” section of the “Investors” tab on the Company’s website at https://www.tenholdingsinc.com/.
Mr. Gan Yong Sheng is the sole member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and serves as the chair of our Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee. We have determined that Mr. Gan Yong Sheng satisfies the “independence” requirements
of the Nasdaq listing rules.
Insider
Trading Policy
Our
Board adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits, among other things, our directors, officers, and employees from engaging in
any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to the Company’s securities. In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits
our directors, officers, and employees from engaging in certain short-term or speculative transactions in the Company’s securities,
such as short-term trading, short sales, and publicly traded options, which could create heightened legal risk and/or the appearance
of improper or inappropriate conduct by our directors, officers, and employees. Our Insider Trading Policy is filed as an exhibit to
this Annual Report.

Plan”) under which an aggregate of 10% of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, which equals 12,500,000 shares
of common stock, were reserved for issuance. On September 27, 2024, the Company’s Board and then sole stockholder approved an amended
and restated equity incentive plan (the “Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan”) which changed the maximum number of
shares of common stock of the Company reserved and available for granting awards from 12,500,000 to 4,000,000. The Amended and Restated
Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance

a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company.
On
October 10, 2024, the Company granted stock options to certain individuals who were the Company’s directors and employees to purchase

$6.90 per share. The options have a contractual term of ten
years and vested as to 60% of the underlying shares upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering with the remaining
40% of the underlying shares having a one-year cliff, wherein approximately 13.3% vested in October 2025 and the remaining vested or
will thereafter vest in equal monthly installments, commencing November 2025 until October 2027, so that all the shares subject to the
option shall vest by October 2027. Pursuant to the award agreements, an aggregate of 1,122,925 shares of common stock (or 74,862 shares of common stock, as adjusted the Company’s
1-for-15 reverse stock split, effected on December 1, 2025) vested upon the
completion of the Company’s initial public offering. The total value of the stock options granted on October 10, 2024 under the

Retirement
Benefits for Our Named Executive Officers
We
maintain medical, dental and vision benefit plans as well as a 401(k) plan in which all full-time employees are eligible to participate.
Our 401(k) plan is meant to encourage employees to save some portion of their cash compensation for their retirement. Employees are eligible
to participate in our 401(k) plan immediately upon hire.
Change
in Control Arrangements
Pursuant
to the employment agreement by and between the Company and Randolph Wilson Jones III, dated December 22, 2025, should the Company terminate
Mr. Jones’ employment without cause or should Mr. Jones terminate his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement)
within the period commencing six months prior to and ending twelve months following a change in control of the Company, Mr. Jones is
entitled to lump sum payment in an amount equal to twelve months of his then current base salary. Upon a change in control, all outstanding
unvested stock options then held by Mr. Jones shall fully vest and become exercisable. If following the change in control, a covered
termination (as defined in the agreement) occurs, Mr. Jones will be permitted to exercise any vested stock options during the twelve
(12) month period following such covered termination through a “cashless exercise,” whereby (a) a number of shares of stock
subject to the stock options being exercised that have a total fair market value on the date of such exercise that is equal to (i) the
aggregate exercise price for all such stock options being exercised plus (ii) the aggregate tax withholding obligations that Mr. Jones
would be subject to upon the exercise of the stock options being exercised, are surrendered to the Company (or its successor) in lieu
of payment of such exercise price and tax withholding obligations, and (b) Mr. Jones receives the remaining number of shares of stock
subject to such stock options.
43
Pursuant
to the amended and restated employment agreement by and between the Company and Virgilio D. Torres, dated December 22, 2025, should the
Company terminate Mr. Torres’ employment without cause or should Mr. Torres terminate his employment for good reason (as defined
in the agreement) within the period commencing six months prior to and ending twelve months following a change in control of the Company,
Mr. Torres is entitled to lump sum payment in an amount equal to twelve months of his then current base salary. Upon a change in control,
all outstanding unvested stock options then held by Mr. Torres shall fully vest and become exercisable. If following the change in control,
a covered termination (as defined in the agreement) occurs, Mr. Torres will be permitted to exercise any vested stock options during
the twelve (12) month period following such covered termination through a “cashless exercise,” whereby (a) a number of shares
of stock subject to the stock options being exercised that have a total fair market value on the date of such exercise that is equal
to (i) the aggregate exercise price for all such stock options being exercised plus (ii) the aggregate tax withholding obligations that
Mr. Torres would be subject to upon the exercise of the stock options being exercised, are surrendered to the Company (or its successor)
in lieu of payment of such exercise price and tax withholding obligations, and (b) Mr. Torres receives the remaining number of shares
of stock subject to such stock options.
Clawback Policy
We
have adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy effective as of February 2025 that complies with the Nasdaq’s clawback rules promulgated
under the SEC’s Rule 10D-1. Under this policy, the Compensation Committee must determine and recover the excess compensation related
to all incentive-based compensation that was paid to our executive officers based on financial statements that were subsequently restated.
The policy provides that, if the Compensation Committee determines that there has been a material restatement of publicly issued financial
results from those previously issued to the public, the Compensation Committee will review all incentive-based compensation made to executive
officers during the three-year period prior to the restatement. If such payments would have been lower had they been calculated based
on such restated results, the Compensation Committee will recoup the payments in excess of the amount that would have been received had
it been determined based on the restated amounts. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 subjects incentive-based compensation
and stock sale profits of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to forfeiture in the event of an accounting restatement
resulting from any non-compliance, as a result of their misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws. Since
January 1, 2025, we have not prepared any accounting restatements that would require recoupment of compensation under the Compensation
Recovery Policy.
Compensation
of Directors
The
compensation of our directors is set by our Board.
Yuji
Ishida and Gan Yong Sheng, our directors, have served without receiving any compensation for services rendered to our Company or our
subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Naoaki Mashita, our former director, also served without receiving any compensation
for services rendered to our Company or our subsidiary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The
Company did not pay Randolph Wilson Jones III, John M. Orobono Jr. or Virgilio D. Torres for their services as directors of the Company
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, in addition to the compensation awarded pursuant to their respective employment agreements
with the Company for their services as executive officers of the Company as disclosed herein.

Timing
of Grants of Certain Equity Awards
We
do not have any formal policies regarding the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information.
On June 30, 2025, we granted Virgilio D. Torres an option to purchase 323,884 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise
price of $0.36. As a result of the Company’s 1-for-15 reverse stock split, effected on December 1, 2025, the number of shares issuable
upon the exercise of this option was reduced to 21,592, with an exercise price of $5.40 per share. On July 2, 2025, we filed a Current
Report on Form 8-K announcing that the Company had received deficiency letters from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq.
Accordingly, the June 30, 2025 grant occurred during a period beginning four business days before the filing of a Form 8-K that disclosed
material nonpublic information and ending one business day after the filing of such report. The table below provides the information
required by Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K:

If
we grant additional options in the future, it is anticipated that the Board will take material nonpublic information into account when
determining the timing and terms of such an award, with the goal being to not grant such awards close in time to the release of any material
nonpublic information. We have never timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of
executive compensation.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The
Company is not required to provide the disclosure required for Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation under Item
407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K, since it qualifies as a “smaller reporting company.”
Compensation
Committee Report
The
Company is not required to provide the disclosure required for Compensation Committee Report under Item 407(e)(5) of Regulation S-K,
since it qualifies as a “smaller reporting company.”

Beneficial
Ownership Table
The
following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act, of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report.
Beneficial
ownership includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Except as indicated below, and subject to applicable
community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all common stock shown
as beneficially owned by them. Percentage of beneficial ownership of each listed person is based on 3,977,443 shares of common stock
outstanding as of March 10, 2026.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally requires that such person have voting or investment power
with respect to the securities. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by persons listed below and the
percentage ownership of such persons, shares of common stock underlying options, warrants, or convertible securities held by each such
person that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report are outstanding, but are not outstanding
for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Item
13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Board
and Committee Independence
The
Board, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determines whether each of our directors is considered
independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the independence standards under the Nasdaq listing
standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine, in its opinion and at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, that each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee and the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. The Board,
at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that three of our current five directors,
Yuji Ishida, Gan Yong Sheng and Christina Maldonado, satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, all members of our
Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are also independent directors as defined
under the Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations applicable to such committee members.

Party Transactions Policy
The

executive officer, holder of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, or any of their immediate family members
has or may have a direct or indirect material interest.
Under
these policies, related party transactions are reviewed to determine whether the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable to
the Company and on terms no less favorable than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In evaluating such transactions,
the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the related person’s interest, the material terms of the transaction,
the benefits to the Company, and whether the transaction could give rise to a conflict of interest.

Pursuant

the engagement of all independent auditors. Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services is not required if the
engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures, if and when such policies and
procedures are established by the Audit Committee, regarding the Company’s engagement of the independent auditor, provided
that the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service provided
and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the Exchange Act to

REPORT
O F INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TEN Holdings, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TEN Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated
financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception
and will need additional funding for operations and product development, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since
2025.

HOLDINGS, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in
thousands, except share and per share data)
1.
Organization, Nature of Business
TEN
Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 12, 2024 in Pennsylvania to act as the holding company of Ten
Events, Inc. (“Ten Events”), which was incorporated in Pennsylvania on December 5, 2011 and is an operating entity. Ten Events
was formed for the purpose of planning, producing, and broadcasting virtual and hybrid events using its event platform, the Xyvid Pro
Platform, and delivering physical events. Ten Events’ platform provides a dynamic, interactive, and engaging virtual event experience
to its clients and enables clients to engage and interact with their target audience anywhere in the world through event webcasting.
At
incorporation, the Company issued 100
shares of common stock with no
stated par value. On July 2, 2024, as part of its reorganization, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with V-Cube,
Inc., the Company’s then- principal s tock holder.
The Company acquired 1,000
shares of Ten Events from V-Cube, Inc. in exchange for
100 shares of common stock of the Company’s. After the share exchange, Ten Events became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company.
On
July 24, 2024, the Company changed its domicile of incorporation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the state of Nevada. Thereupon,
each share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a
share of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 of the Company. After domestication, the total common stock issued and outstanding is 50,000,000
shares.
On
October 9, 2024, the
Company’s sole director and the majority stockholder approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued common stock
at a ratio of 2:1 , which became effective on October 9, 2024.
The
reorganization involves entities under common control. Under the guidance in ASC 805-50, for transactions between entities under common
control, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the restructuring,
which required retrospective combination of the Company and Ten Events. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been
prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods presented rather than from the incorporation.
This includes a retrospective presentation for all equity related disclosures, which were under common control throughout the relevant
periods as a single economic enterprise although legal parent-subsidiary relationship were not established.
On
November 10, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued common stock at
a ratio of 15:1 , which became effective on December 1, 2025.
Going
concern
The
Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are
issued.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to attract and retain revenue generating customers, acquire
new customer contracts, and additional financing.
T he
Company has incurred and continues to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flow from operations. For the year ended
December 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $ 19,509 , net cash used in operations of $ 10,065 , and as of December 31, 2025, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $ 21,431 . These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
Company may consider obtaining additional financing in the future through the issuance of the Company’s common stock, through other
equity or debt financing, or other means. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to obtain new revenue generating customer
contracts and its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
As
an emerging growth company, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting
pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected
to delay adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements
may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective date for new or revised accounting
standards that are applicable to public companies.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest: Ten Events and V-Cube USA Acquisition Company, LLC. Intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in such consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates are based on
management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are
not limited to, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and capitalized software, the carrying value of
operating lease right-of-use assets, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company
follows a five-step model as follows:
1
– Identification of the contract with a customer
2
– Identification of the performance obligation in the contract
3
– Determination of the transaction price
4
– Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract
5
– Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied
F- 7
Hybrid,
virtual and physical event revenue
Revenue
from hybrid, virtual and physical events is generated from producing and delivering hybrid or virtual events using the Company’s
platform, the Xyvid Pro Platform and SaaS Development, or delivering physical events. Virtual events are online events and conferences
where participants interact in an online environment, and physical events are events where participants meet in a physical location.
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services
to the customer. The transaction price is generally fixed at contract inception and is based on the agreed upon rates stated in the contract
which indicates the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for satisfaction of performance obligation
(i.e., delivering events). The amount on the final invoice depends on the actual work performed and might differ from the amount stated
in the initial contract. When there is variable consideration included in the transaction price if, in the management’s judgment,
it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur, the Company and
the customer agree on the price on the final invoice, and revenue is recognized based on the amount on the final invoice. None of our
contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently
remitted to government entities.
Revenue
is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised services to the customer, which
is upon completion of the event. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive
in exchange for those services.
The
Company sometimes enters into the contract with a bundle of events. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an
allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling
price. The Company’s contracts with multiple performance obligations are generally sold over the same contract terms as that of
the contract with single performance obligation and have the same pattern of transferring services to the customer, and therefore, they
are accounted for as one combined performance obligation in the context of the contract.
From
time to time, the Company engages subcontractors for delivering events. The Company assesses and records revenue on a gross basis as
a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. For events delivered with subcontractors,
the Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified
vendors, (ii) has the discretion to select the vendors and establish their price and duties, and (iii) bears the risk for services that
are not fully paid for by its customers.
Segment
Information
The
Company currently operates its business as one operating segment which includes two revenue types: Hybrid and Virtual Events and Physical
Events. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who
reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources.
The Company’s CODM evaluates financial information as a whole for the purpose of assessing financial performance and making operating
decisions.
Concentration
of Customers and Vendors
The
consolidated balance sheet items that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and accounts
receivable. The Company continuously evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not
require collateral. The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) limits of $ 250,000 per institution. The Company incurred no losses from such accounts and management considers the
risk of loss to be minimal.
F- 8
For
the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was one customer who accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s total revenue
in both periods. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were three and two customers, respectively, who accounted for more than 10 %
of the Company’s total accounts receivable in the respective periods.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was one supplier and there were two suppliers, respectively, who accounted for more
than 10 % of the Company’s total purchase in the respective periods. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were three and four
suppliers, respectively, who accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s total accounts payable in the respective periods.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an initial maturity date of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts
receivable primarily consist of the amounts billed and currently due from customers, net of an allowance for credit losses, if recorded.
When the Company has an unconditional right to payment, subject only to the passage of time, the right is treated as receivable. The
Company’s accounts receivable balances are unsecured, bearing no interest. Fees billed in advance of the related contractual term
represent contract liabilities and are presented as deferred revenue. Typical payment terms provide for customer payment within 30 to
90 days of the invoice date.
Accounts
receivable are subject to collection risk. The Company performs evaluations of its customers’ financial positions and generally
extends credit on account, without collateral.
At
each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes an expected allowance for credit losses. In addition, also at each reporting date, this
estimate is updated to reflect any changes in credit risk since the receivable was initially recorded. This estimate is calculated on
a pooled basis where similar risk characteristics exist.
The
allowance estimate is derived from a review of the Company’s historical losses on the aging of receivables. This estimate is adjusted
for management’s assessment of current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding future events, and any other
factors deemed relevant by the Company. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable starting point in which to calculate
the expected allowance for credit losses as the Company’s customers’ composition have remained constant. The Company did
no t record an allowance for credit loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The
Company writes off receivables when there is information that indicates the debtor is facing significant financial difficulty and there
is no possibility of recovery. If any recoveries are made from any accounts previously written off, they will be recognized in income
or an offset to credit loss expense in the year of recovery. The Company did not have any write-offs of receivables during the year ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Deferred
Offering Costs
Deferred
offering costs include specific incremental costs directly attributable to the Company’s initial public offering of securities.
Deferred offering costs exclude management salaries or other general and administrative expenses. These costs are being deferred and
were charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. Deferred offering costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Upon
the completion of the initial public offering, the deferred offering costs were fully charged to additional paid-in capital, and there
was no balance as of December 31, 2025.
Property

Property
and equipment are recorded at the cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated
useful lives of assets are as follows:

F- 9
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of capitalized software. The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with the guidance in ASC
350-40, Internal-use software . The costs incurred prior to the application development stage and post implementation are expensed
as incurred. Direct and incremental internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized until
the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which point amortization begins. Training, data conversion
and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of capitalized software are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated
period of benefit, which is approximately five to seven years, and are recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if the carrying amount
is not recoverable when compared to the Company’s undiscounted cash flows, and the impairment loss is measured based on the difference
between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sales are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs
to sell.
Leases
Leases
are comprised of operating leases for office space. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases , the Company determines if an
arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, current portion of operating
lease liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating
lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
For
leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records a ROU asset and a lease liability representing the present value of future
lease payments. The discount rate used to measure the lease asset and liability is determined at the beginning of the lease term using
the rate implicit in the lease, or the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rate within the Company’s
leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement is utilized to determine the
present value of lease payments. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on third-party lender quotes to obtain secured
debt in a like currency for a similar asset over a timeframe similar to the term of the lease. For those contracts that include fixed
rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to
the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs in the measurement
of the lease asset and liability.
The
Company accounts for each lease and any non-lease components associated with that lease as a single lease component for all asset classes.
Lease expenses for the Company’s operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term except for variable
lease costs, which are expensed as incurred. The Company does not recognize ROU assets and operating lease liabilities that arise from
leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company reports financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value
in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement (“ASC
820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and
liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which
the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
F- 10
ASC
820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three
levels. The U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to
the measurement.
The
levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
1: Quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.
Level
3: Inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term loans
approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Deferred
Revenue
Contract
liabilities consist of deferred revenue. Revenue is deferred when the Company has the right to invoice in advance of performance under
a customer contract. The current portion of deferred revenue balances is recognized over the next 12 months. The amount of revenue recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of each period was $ 147 and $ 275 ,
respectively.
Cost
of Revenue
Cost
of revenue primarily consists of costs paid to its employees for delivering events and costs of renting equipment and studio.
Advertising
and Marketing Costs
Advertising
and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, these costs were $ 853 and $ 160 , respectively.
Employee
Benefit Plan
Substantially
all employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) defined contribution plan which is sponsored by the Company. Participants may
contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan up to the maximum amount permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. At the Company’s discretion, the Company can match a portion of the participants’ contributions. During the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 66 and $ 46 , respectively, of expenses for the defined contribution plans.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , which requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the differences between
the financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities and net operating loss by using enacted tax rate in effect for the fiscal
year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rate on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that these assets are believed to be more likely than not to be realized. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized.
In making such a determination, all available positive and negative evidence is considered, including future reversals of existing taxable
temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
F- 11
The
Company files tax returns in the tax jurisdictions of the United States. Tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are based upon management’s
evaluation of the information available at the reporting date. To be recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit must be at
least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits. The benefit for positions meeting the recognition threshold
is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge
of all relevant information.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic
net loss per common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common stock is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities
outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the
Company operates.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606):
Scope Refinements and Share-Based Noncash Consideration . This ASU clarifies the scope of derivative accounting for certain contracts
and the accounting for share-based noncash consideration received from customers. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2026, including interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements . This ASU clarifies the
interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for
Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets . This ASU provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than
public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and
current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and entities should apply
the amendments prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
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 . This ASU requires public business entities to disclose,
for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. The requirements
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities
are permitted to apply either the prospective or retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
F- 12
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280 ): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information
used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s segment
reporting.
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure
Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). This ASU incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure
and presentation requirements of a variety of ASC Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing
disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the ASC with the
SEC’s regulations. The ASU has an unusual effective date and transition requirements since it is contingent on future SEC rule
setting. If the SEC fails to enact required changes by June 30, 2027, this ASU is not effective for any entities. Early adoption is not
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial
statement.

As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had a federal NOL carryforwards of $ 19,972 , and state NOL carryforwards of $ 28,689 . As a result of
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), for U.S. income tax purposes, NOL generated in tax years beginning after December
31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income. The total amount of the federal NOL as of December 31,
2025 which may be carried forward indefinitely is $ 18,455 . The state NOL may generally be carried forward for twenty years and
may be applied against future taxable income.
The
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) amended Internal Revenue Code Section 174 related to federal tax treatment of research
and experimental expenditures paid or incurred during the taxable year. The new Section 174 rules require taxpayers to capitalize and
amortize such expenditures over a period of five years for domestic research and fifteen years for non-US research. For the year ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a $ 570,856 and $ 506,130 favorable temporary difference for the amortization of these
expenditures.
As
of December 31, 2024, the Company had a federal NOL carryforwards of $ 12,373 , and state NOL carryforwards of $ 14,125 .
The
Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company intends
to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal
of all or some portion of these allowances. The valuation allowance the Company recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 13,743
and $ 10,715 , respectively.
