TEN 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 principal stockholder. 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 and held by V-Cube, Inc. was automatically converted into 500,000 shares 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 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. As a result of the reverse stock split, 25,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of 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.
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.
The Company has incurred and
continues to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flow from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025,
the Company had a net loss of $ 4,836 , net cash used in operations of $ 6,785
and an accumulated deficit of $ 6,758 . As of March 31, 2025, the Company had
a working capital deficit of $ 2,506 .
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.

2. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying
unaudited 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”)
regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S.
GAAP for complete financial statements.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any other future interim periods.
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 and impairment
of long-lived 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
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, 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 Event (“Hybrid”), Virtual Events (“Virtual”) and Physical
Events ( “ Physical”). 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
there were two customers who accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s total revenue in both periods. As of March 31, 2025 and
December 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
there were three suppliers who accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s total purchase in both periods. As of March 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, there were two and four suppliers, respectively, who accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s total accounts
payable in the respective periods.
8
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 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 three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The amount of accounts receivable included at the
beginning of each period presented was $ 515 and $ 359 , respectively.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs include specific incremental costs directly attributable to the Company’s public offering of securities.
Deferred offering costs exclude management salaries or other general and administrative expenses. These costs are being deferred and will
be 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 public offering, the deferred offering costs are fully charged to additional
paid-in capital.
Upon the completion of the public offering, the deferred offering costs were fully charged to additional paid-in capital.
Property
and Equipment, Net
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:
Schedule
of Estimated Useful Lives of Assets
Property and Equipment
Estimated Useful Life
Computer and equipment
7 years
Furniture and fixture
10 years
Leasehold improvement
Shorter of 10 years or lease term
Repair and maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred.
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 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.
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.
10
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 three
months ended March 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 Statement of Operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, these costs were $ 158 and $ 21 , 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and
2024, the Company recognized $ 18 and $ 13 , 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.
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.
11
Net Loss
per Share
Basic net loss per common stock
is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common stocks 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 common stocks 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
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.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The standard requires
entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet
a quantitative threshold. It also requires entities to disclose certain information about income taxes paid and other disclosures related
to income and income tax expense from continuing operations. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024
for public business entities and for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 for all other entities. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
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 .

Item 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking
statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of
federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to: any projections of earnings, revenue, or other financial items; any
statements regarding the adequacy, availability, and sources of capital, any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management
for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic
conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking
statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,”
“believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” or “anticipate,” and other similar
words. In addition to any assumptions and other factors and matters referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements,
factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include
those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section included in our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282621),
as amended, which was initially filed with the SEC on October 11, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2025.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed. Our future financial
condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties,
such as those disclosed in this quarterly report. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement,
except as required by law.
The information included in this Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
Business Overview
We are a provider of event planning, production, and
broadcasting services headquartered in Pennsylvania. We mainly produce virtual and hybrid events and physical events. Virtual and hybrid
events involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which
are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro Platform. Physical events were added to our revenue streams, due to our corporate restructuring
completed in fiscal year 2023, and mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events.
As
of the date of this quarterly report, we primarily generate revenue from virtual and hybrid events delivered to corporate customers.
We experienced a decrease in our total revenue and net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, mainly due to an event
series with our biggest customer that took place in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 that did not repeat in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately $739 thousand and
$1,128 thousand, respectively, and net loss of approximately $4,841 thousand and $405 thousand, respectively. For the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $713 thousand and $1,081
thousand, respectively, accounting for approximately 96.5% and 95.8% of our total revenue, respectively; and the revenue generated
from physical events was approximately $26 thousand and $47 thousand, respectively, accounting for approximately 3.5% and 4.2% of
our total revenue, respectively.
Our mission is to deliver top-tier planning, production,
and broadcasting services for virtual, hybrid and physical events. Our goal is to become a global leader in innovative virtual events
that enhance engagement and connectivity, making impactful and memorable experiences accessible to all.

Key Financial Performance Indicators
Revenue
Our revenue is derived from the provision of virtual
and hybrid events and physical events on our Xyvid Pro Platform.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue is primarily driven by the costs
paid to our employees for producing events and the costs of renting equipment and our studio.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily
composed of personnel costs for sales and marketing staff and general corporate functions, computer and software costs, and advertising
and marketing expenses.
Operating profit and operating profit margin
Operating profit is the difference between our revenue
and cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating profit margin is the profit margin as a percentage of
revenue.
Other income (expenses)
From time to time, we have non-recurring, non-operating
gains and losses which are reflected through other income (expense).
Interest expenses
Interest expenses consist of interest expenses arising
from borrowings.

Revenue
Revenue decreased by $389 thousand, or 34.5%, to $739
thousand. The decrease was primarily driven by following factors:
●
Revenue from delivered
events – Virtual and Hybrid decreased by $368 thousand mainly due to an event series with our biggest customer that took place
in the three months ended March 31, 2024 but did not repeat in the three months ended March 31, 2025. This event series is held by
our biggest customer every other year.
●
Revenue from delivered events – physical events decreased by $21 thousand, mainly due to two customers’ events from the three months ended March 31, 2024 that did not repeat for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue decreased by $97 thousand, or 34.3%,
to $186 thousand, reflecting the lower direct costs associated with the lower corresponding revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A
expenses”)
SG&A expenses increased by
$3,960 thousand, or 328.4%, to $5,166 thousand, due to the recognition of stock compensation expense of $3,513 thousand in
connection with the vesting of employee stock options from the IPO, marketing expenses from brand and performance-related spend and
increased payroll expenses due to the addition of key members of the management team.
Other Income (Expense), net and Interest Expenses
The total of other expenses and
interest expenses increased by $43 thousand, or 138.7%, to $74 thousand, primarily due to the increase in borrowing.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, the
net loss was $4,836 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the net loss of $405 thousand during the three
months ended March 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share
We define non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss excluding
the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by the diluted
weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. We believe the presentation of these adjusted operating results provides useful supplemental
information to investors and facilitates the analysis and comparison of our operating results across reporting periods.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management
to help us analyze our financial results, establish budgets and operating goals for managing our business, evaluate our performance and
make strategic decision.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss excluding:
(i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other expense (income), and (iii) stock-based compensation expense.

Cash Flows/Liquidity
Cash flows as of March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had
cash of $247 thousand and $48 thousand, respectively. Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements. We generally
fund our operations with cash flow from operations, and, when needed, borrowed funds from financial institutions and capital injections
from our principal shareholders. Our principal use of liquidity has been to fund our daily operations and working capital. We expect that
our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and cash obligations for the next 12 months, although
our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to attract and retain revenue generating customers, acquire new customer
contracts, and secure additional financing.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities
increased from $581 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $6,785 thousand during the three months ended March 31,
2025. The increase in cash outflow was primarily due to the higher loss in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Investing Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities increased from $269 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $273 thousand during
the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash outflow was mainly due to an increase in the amount capitalized with respect
to the internally developed software.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activity
increased from $917 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $7,257 thousand during the three months ended March 31,
2025. The increase was primarily due to the proceeds received from issuance of shares, partially offset by the payment made related
to the outstanding loans.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this annual report requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have
identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These accounting
policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those
that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult,
subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain
and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current
judgments. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments
used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
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 against net deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The following critical accounting policies rely upon
assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
The
Company applies 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
24
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, 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 revenue 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.
Property
and Equipment, Net
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:
Property and Equipment
Estimated Useful Life
Computer and equipment
7 years
Furniture and fixture
10 years
Leasehold improvement
Shorter of 10 years or lease term
Repair and maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred.
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 years, and are recorded in cost of revenue in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
25
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.

4. 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, 2024 and determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of that date.

1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently involved in any material legal
proceedings. From time-to-time we are, and we anticipate that we will be, involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising
in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect
on our financial statements. We could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event that
there is an outcome in any that is adverse to us, our financial position and prospects could be harmed.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Risks Relating to our Business and Industry
We have incurred significant operating and net
losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
As
reflected in our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report, we have a history of losses since our inception,
including net losses of $4,836 thousand and $405 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and fiscal year ended December
31, 2024, respectively, and cash used in operating activities of $6,785 thousand and $581 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 2025 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,922
thousand and a working capital deficit of $5,735 thousand.
Given the preceding conditions, our auditor has raised
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability
to generate positive operating cash flows. To support our working capital needs, we will rely on our revenue generating customer contracts
and equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be successful in generating positive operating cash flows and raising
additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability in the future.
If we are unable to generate and raise sufficient
positive operating cash flows and additional capital to result in operating profitability in the future, there may remain substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to
us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and we may have to discontinue operations and liquidate our assets and may be compelled
to receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, which would cause our stockholders
to lose a part or all of their investment.
Our business depends on our ability to attract
new customers and retain and provide services to existing customers. Any decline in customer acquisition or retention would harm our business.
Our business depends upon our ability to attract new
customers, and maintain and expand our relationships with our existing customers, including providing additional services to our existing
customers. Our customers engage us to provide support for their events or other corporate activities. We cannot provide any assurance
that customers will extend or renew their engagement with us after the events or corporate activities for which we have been engaged are
completed. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, such as dissatisfaction
with our platform and support, a customer no longer having a need for our platform, or a belief that a competitor’s service offering
is better, more secure, or less expensive than our platform. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a significant increase
in usage of our platform and services. Following the pandemic, some of our customers reduced their use of our platform, and additional
customers may do so in the future. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement are also impacted by reductions in customers’ information
technology spending budgets or decisions by customers to consolidate their spending budgets on one of our competitor’s platforms,
both of which are more likely to occur during periods of high inflation, recessionary or uncertain economic environments. Finally, any
decrease in customer satisfaction with our platform or support would harm our brand, word-of-mouth referrals, and ability to grow. We
need to continually add new customers to grow our business and to replace customers who choose not to continue to use our platform. If
customers terminate or do not renew their business relationships with us, or renew their service contracts on less favorable terms or
for fewer services, and we do not acquire replacement customers or otherwise grow our customer base, our business and results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected.
27
Any
decline in demand for our services or platform could harm our business .
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a significant
portion of our revenue and cash flows from producing virtual and hybrid events. Widespread adoption and use of live engagement technologies,
webinars and event software in general, and our platform in particular, are critical to our future growth and success. If this market
fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, demand for our platform could be negatively affected.
Demand for our platform is affected by a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of these potential factors include:
●
availability of products and services that compete, directly or indirectly, with ours;
●
awareness and adoption of live engagement technologies, generally, as a substitute for in-person events;
●
ease of adoption and use of the relevant technologies;
●
features and platform experience;
●
reliability of our platform, including frequency of outages;
●
performance and user support;
●
our brand and reputation;
●
security and privacy;
●
our pricing and our competitors’ pricing; and
●
new modes of live engagement that may be developed in the future.
If we fail to successfully predict and address these
factors, meet customer demands or achieve more widespread market adoption of our platform, our business would be harmed.
The experience of our customers depends upon
the interoperability of our platform across technologies that we do not control, and if we are not able to maintain and expand our relationships
with third parties in order to integrate our platform with their products, our business may be harmed.
Our platform, Xyvid Pro Platform, has broad interoperability
and is able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. We depend on the accessibility
of our platform across these devices that we do not control. Some of our competitors may have inherent advantages by being able to develop
products and services internally that more closely integrate with their own software platforms or those of their business partners.
We may not be able to modify our platform and services
to maintain their continued compatibility with that of third parties’ products and services that are constantly evolving. In addition,
some of our competitors may be able to disrupt the ability of our platform to operate with their products or services, or they could exert
strong business influence on our ability to, and the terms on which we, operate and provide access to our platform and services. Should
any of these third parties modify their products or services in a manner that degrades the functionality of our platform or services,
or that gives preferential treatment to their own or competitive products or services, whether to enhance their competitive position or
for any other reason, the interoperability of our platform and services with these third-party products and services could decrease and
our business could be harmed.
28
We may not be able to respond to rapid technological
changes, extend our platform or develop new features.
The markets in which we compete are characterized
by rapid technological changes and the frequent introduction of new products and services. Our ability to attract new customers and retain
and expand the usage of existing customers depends on our ability to enhance and improve our platform, and to introduce new features and
services. Our customers may require features and capabilities that our current platform does not have. We are focused on improving the
quality and range of our service offerings and are committed to investing in research and development. Our enhancements to our platform,
features or capabilities may not be compelling to our existing or potential customers and may not gain market acceptance. If our research
and development investments do not accurately anticipate customer demand, or if we fail to develop our platform in a manner that satisfies
customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner, we may fail to retain our existing customers or increase demand for our platform.
The introduction of competing services or the development
of entirely new technologies to replace existing offerings could make our platform obsolete or adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition. We may experience difficulties with software development, design or marketing that could delay
or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new services, features, or capabilities. New services, features or capabilities
may not be released according to schedule. Any delays could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenue or market acceptance, or claims
by customers brought against us, all of which could harm our business. If customers do not widely adopt our new services, features and
capabilities, we may not be able to realize a return on our investment. If we are unable to develop, license or acquire new features and
capabilities to our platform on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if such enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business
would be harmed.
We plan to incorporate AI technologies into
some of our products and services, which may present operational and reputational risks.
As
of the date of this quarterly report, we utilize artificial intelligence, or AI, to empower the multi-language captioning and transcription
features of our Xyvid Pro Platform, and we plan to implement additional features driven by artificial intelligence in the future. The
initial AI-driven enhancements are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2025. As with many innovations, there are associated
risks involved in utilizing AI technology. There can be no assurance that our use of AI will eventually produce the intended results.
Even if it could produce the intended results, we cannot guarantee that such AI will not produce errors going forward. AI, particularly
generative AI, has been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs. AI can also present ethical issues
and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. Inappropriate or controversial data practices
by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion concerning AI, could impair the acceptance of AI solutions,
including those incorporated in our services. If the AI tools that we use are deficient, inaccurate, or controversial, we could incur
operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business and
financial results.
In
addition, regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide, as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging
technologies. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property,
data privacy and security, customer protection, competition, and equal opportunity laws, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation
and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. For example, In the United States, President Biden issued the Executive
Order on Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in October 2023, with the goal of promoting the “safe, secure, and
trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence in the United States.” The Executive Order has established certain new
standards for the training, testing and cybersecurity of sophisticated AI models. It has also instructed other federal agencies to promulgate
additional regulations within certain timeframes from the date of the Executive Order. Federal artificial intelligence legislation has
also been introduced in the U.S. Senate. Since these regulatory frameworks rapidly evolve, we may become subject to new laws and regulations,
which may affect the legality, profitability, or sustainability of our business, and we may be unable to predict all the legal, operational,
or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. The failure to comply with the relevant regulatory frameworks may also
negatively affect our reputation. Because AI technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict
all the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. Failure to appropriately respond to this
evolving landscape may result in legal liability, regulatory action, or brand and reputational harm. As of the date of this quarterly
report, the Company does not intend to utilize open-source AI.
Interruptions in our services caused by undetected errors, failures,
or bugs in our platform or services could harm our reputation and result in significant costs to us.
Our
platform and services may have errors or defects that customers identify after they begin using them that could result in unanticipated
interruptions of service. Internet-based services frequently contain undetected errors and bugs when first introduced or when new versions
or enhancements are released. The use of our services in complicated, large-scale network environments may increase our exposure to undetected
errors, failures, or bugs in our services. We use monitoring software to detect errors or bugs in our platform and we subject new codes
to stringent testing before their release. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have not experienced significant interruptions
in our services as a result of such errors or defects, but we may experience future interruptions of service if we fail to detect and
correct these errors and defects. As our business expands, the costs incurred in correcting defects, bugs or errors may be substantial
and could harm our results of operations.
29
In addition, we rely on hardware and software of third
parties to offer our services. Any defects in, or unavailability of, our or third-party software or hardware that cause interruptions
of our services could, among other things:
●
cause a reduction in revenues or a delay in market acceptance of our services;
●
require us to pay penalties or issue refunds to our customers or partners, or expose us to claims for damages;
●
cause us to lose existing customers and make it more difficult to attract new customers;
●
divert our development resources or require us to make extensive changes to our software, which would increase our expenses and slow innovation;
●
increase our technical support costs; and
●
harm our reputation and brand.
Competition in our markets is intense, and if
we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.
The webcasting market is competitive and rapidly changing,
and existing and new market entrants, particularly established companies with greater resources than we have, that provide technologies
to improve communication and engagement technologies or platforms, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, could also increase
the level of competition in the market. We face competition from many large and small companies, which include, but are not limited to,
Zoom, ON24, GlobalMeet, Cvent, Bizzabo, and Meeting Tomorrow.
Our competitors vary in size and in the breadth and
scope of the products and services they offer. Many of our actual and potential competitors benefit from competitive advantages over us,
such as greater name recognition; longer operating histories; more varied products and services; larger marketing budgets; more established
marketing relationships; more third-party integration; greater accessibility across devices or applications; greater access to larger
user bases; and greater financial, technical, and other resources. Some of our competitors may make acquisitions or strategic investments
or enter into strategic relationships to offer a broader range of products and services than we do, which may prevent us from using such
third parties’ technology or offering such products or services. These combinations may make it more difficult for us to compete
effectively. We expect these trends to continue as competitors attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions. As we introduce
new services, and with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.
Demand for our platform is price sensitive. Many factors,
including our pricing and marketing strategies, customer acquisition, and technology costs, as well as the pricing and marketing strategies
of our competitors, can significantly affect our pricing strategies. Certain competitors offer, or may in the future offer, lower-priced
or free products or services that compete with our platform or certain aspects of our platform, and they may offer a broader range of
products and services than we do. Even if such competing products do not include all of the features and functionality that we provide,
we could face pricing pressure to the extent that customers find such alternative products to be sufficient to meet their needs. Similarly,
certain competitors or potential competitors may use marketing strategies that enable them to acquire customers at a lower cost than we
can. Moreover, our major customers may demand substantial price concessions. As a result, we may be required to provide our major customers
with pricing below our targets in the future. As a result, we could lose market share to our competitors or be forced to engage in price-cutting
initiatives or other discounts to attract and retain customers, each of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The failure to effectively develop and expand
our marketing and sales capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our
platform.
Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve
broader market acceptance of our services will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing and sales operations.
We plan to continue expanding our sales and marketing capabilities, including through additional investment in digital marketing and sales
team expansion. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing operations, our future revenue growth and business could be adversely
impacted.
30
Identifying and recruiting qualified sales representatives
and training them is time consuming and resource intensive, and they may not be fully trained and productive for a significant amount
of time. We also plan to dedicate resources to sales and marketing programs, including internet and other online advertising. All of these
efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources, as the cost to acquire customers through these efforts is
high. Our business will be harmed if our efforts do not generate a correspondingly significant increase in revenue.
Our largest customer generates a significant
portion of our revenue, and interruption in operations of such significant customer may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were two customers that independently accounted for more than 10% of our total
revenue; accounting for approximately 54% and 18% of our total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were two customers that independently accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue;
accounting for approximately 66% and 16% of our total revenue, respectively.
We believe that, in the foreseeable future, we
may continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from such significant customer. If such customer fails to make payments, or
experiences a downturn in business, our revenue and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We may lose our significant
customer due to a variety of factors, including our capacity to deliver reliable services, service efficiency, as well as our competitiveness
in pricing strategies. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to maintain the business relationship with our significant customer at
the same level, or at all. If our significant customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able
to secure an alternative arrangement with a comparable customer in a timely manner, or at all. Losing our significant customer could adversely
affect our revenue and profitability. In the short term, losing our significant customer may lead to a substantial loss of revenue and
potentially disrupt cash flow. In the long term, it could impact market perception and our ability to attract new customers.
We may be dependent on a limited number of suppliers
and any disruption to the relationships with the major suppliers may have material adverse effects on our business.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were three suppliers that independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting
for approximately 22%, 11%, and 11% of our total purchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were three suppliers that independently accounted for more
than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 23%, 17%, and 14% of our total purchases. Such third-party suppliers are subject to their
own unique operational and financial risks, which are beyond our control. If such significant suppliers breach or terminate their contracts
with us, or experience significant disruptions to their operations, we will be required to find and enter into arrangements with one or
more replacement suppliers. Finding alternative suppliers could involve significant delays and other costs and these suppliers may not
be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, this could harm our business and financial results and result in lost
or deferred revenue.
We depend on our controlling stockholder, V-Cube,
Inc., for financing and other resources.
V-Cube,
Inc. owns the majority of our equity interest as of the date of this quarterly report. We do not expect any material changes to
our relationship with V-Cube, Inc. in the foreseeable future. We have relied on and expect to continue to rely on V-Cube, Inc. for financing
and other resources. V-Cube, Inc. has made verbal pledges to provide financial support and other resources to our Company. However, such
pledges have not been formalized by any contractual arrangements and there is no assurance that such financial support will be available
as and when needed or in sufficient amounts. If there are any changes to our relationship with V-Cube, Inc., and/or if V-Cube, Inc. suspends
or terminates its provision of financing and other resources to us, for a variety of reasons beyond our control, such as any changes to
the Japan-United States relations, any business interruptions or financial distress of V-Cube, Inc., or any legal changes that affect
international money transfers, it could have material adverse effects on our business and financial results.
Our results of operations are subject to seasonal
fluctuations.
We experience seasonality in our business. We usually
generate more revenue in the last month of each calendar quarter. We may experience capacity and resource shortages in our platform and
services during the period of such seasonal surge in our business. As a result of seasonality, our financial condition and results of
operations may continue to fluctuate, and the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate from time to time.
31
Our business and results of operations may be
harmed by the misconduct of authorized employees that have access to important assets of our Company such as bank accounts and confidential
information.
During the course of our business operations, some
of our employees have access to certain valuable assets of our Company, such as bank accounts and confidential information. In the event
of misconduct by such authorized employees, our Company could suffer significant losses. Employee misconduct may include misappropriating
bank accounts, falsifying bank records, improper use or disclosure of confidential information to the public or our competitors, and failure
to comply with our internal policies or with federal or state laws or regulations regarding the use and safeguarding of classified or
other protected information, and any other applicable laws or regulations. Although we have implemented policies, procedures, and controls
to regulate employee conduct, these precautions may not prevent all intentional or negligent misconduct, and as a result, we could face
unknown risks or losses. Furthermore, such unethical, unprofessional, or even criminal behavior by employees could damage our reputation,
result in fines, penalties, restitution, or other damages, and lead to the loss of current and future customers, all of which would adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results.
We may be the subject of detrimental conduct
by third parties, which could have a negative impact on our reputation.
We may be the target of anti-competitive, harassing,
or other detrimental conduct by third parties including our competitors. Such conduct may include complaints, anonymous or otherwise,
to regulatory agencies regarding our operations, accounting, business relationships, business prospects, and business ethics. Additionally,
anyone may post false allegations online against us on an anonymous basis. We may be subject to government or regulatory investigation
as a result of such third-party conduct and may be required to expend significant time and incur substantial costs to address such third-party
conduct, and there can be no assurance that each of the allegations will be refuted conclusively within a reasonable period of time, or
at all. Our business may also be materially negatively affected as a result of such public dissemination of anonymous allegations or malicious
statements.
Interruptions, delays or outages in service
from the data centers we use for our technology or infrastructure could impair the delivery and the functionality of our services, which
may harm our business.
Our
ability to attract and retain customers depends on our ability to provide our customers and their users with a highly reliable platform.
We currently use data centers in the United States. Our platform may not be fully available to customers in the event of catastrophic
failure at one of those data centers. We also do not control the operation of the data centers we use, and they are vulnerable to damage
or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity
incidents, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, any of which could disrupt
our services. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these data centers, it may take a significant period of time to achieve
full resumption of our platform, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. As of the date of this quarterly
report, we have experienced service disruptions, outages and other performance problems, due to the introduction of new functionality,
human error, and capacity constraints, and we may in the future experience further service disruptions, outages and other performance
problems due to a variety of other factors, including infrastructure changes, software errors, zero-day vulnerabilities, and denial-of-service
attacks, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity incidents by malicious actors. In some instances, we may not be able to rectify these
performance issues within an acceptable time-frame.
In addition, we depend on the expertise and efforts
of members of our operations and technology teams for the continued performance of our platform. Our ability to retain, attract, hire
and train staff in these groups may prove to be a challenge for a variety of factors and could have an adverse impact on the platform.
If our platform is unavailable or if our customers
and their users are unable to access our platform within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, our business, results of operations and
financial condition would be adversely affected. Additionally, if the data centers we use are unable to keep up with our increasing need
for capacity, our customers may experience delays as we seek to obtain additional capacity, which could harm our business.
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business
operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, adversely impact our reputation, and harm our business.
Cybersecurity threats and incidents directed at us
could range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems to sophisticated and
targeted measures aimed at disrupting business or gathering data of customers. We rely on our platform to deliver virtual and hybrid events
to our customers and we use the Azure SQL Database to process, organize and store our business data. The secure processing, maintenance,
and transmission of information in these systems are critical to our operations.
32
Nonetheless,
our technology operations are vulnerable to security breaches and attacks against our system and network. While we employ measures designed
to prevent, detect, address, and mitigate these threats (including using third-party cybersecurity technology), and we have not experienced
any material cybersecurity incidents as of the date of this quarterly report, cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature
and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption, or unavailability of critical data and confidential
or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties, including potentially sensitive information of our customers) and the disruption
of business operations. Any such compromises to our security could cause harm to our reputation, which could cause customers to lose trust
and confidence in us or could cause agents to stop working for us. In addition, we may incur significant costs for remediation that may
include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage, and compensation to customers and business partners. We may
also be subject to legal claims, government investigation, and additional state and federal statutory requirements. Although we have purchased
cybersecurity insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover any damages resulting from cybersecurity
claims.
The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity
incident include regulatory violations of applicable U.S. privacy and other laws, reputational damage, loss of market value, litigation
with third parties (which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability), diminution in the value of the services
we provide to our customers, and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs (that may include liability for stolen assets
or information), which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our competitiveness and results of operations.
If we fail to manage our growth or execute our
strategies and future plans effectively, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities or meet the demand of our customers.
We expect our business to grow in terms of scale and
diversity of operations. In addition, we plan to improve the features of our platform and incorporate more emerging technologies to enhance
our platform. This will enable us to diversify and expand our service offerings. Such expansions will increase the complexity of our operations
and may cause strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources. We must continue to hire, train, and effectively manage
new employees. The expansion of our services will also require us to maintain consistency in the quality of our services so that our market
reputation is not damaged by any deviations in quality, whether actual or perceived.
Our future results of operations also depend largely
on our ability to execute our future plans successfully. In particular, our continued growth may subject us to the following additional
challenges and constraints:
●
we face challenges in responding to evolving industry standards and government regulation that impact our business and the webcasting industry in general;
●
the technological or operational challenges may arise from the new services;
●
the execution of our future plans will be subject to the availability of funds to support the relevant capital investment and expenditures; and
●
the successful execution of our strategies is subject to factors beyond our control, such as general market conditions, and economic and political developments in the United States and globally.
All of these endeavors involve risks and will require
significant management, financial, and human resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage our growth or
to implement our strategies successfully. There is no assurance that the investment to be made by our Company as contemplated under our
future plans will be successful and generate the expected return. If we are not able to manage our growth or execute our strategies effectively,
or at all, our business, results of operations, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
If we fail to attract, recruit, or retain our
key personnel, including our executive officers, senior management, and key employees, our ongoing operations and growth could be affected.
Our success depends, to a large extent, on the efforts
of our key personnel, including our executive officers, senior management, and other key employees who have valuable experience, knowledge,
and connections in the webcasting industry. There is no assurance that these key personnel will not voluntarily terminate their employment
with us. We do not carry any key person insurance on any of our senior management team. The loss of any of our key personnel could be
detrimental to our ongoing operations. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to manage
our existing operations as well as our future growth. We may not be able to successfully attract, recruit, or retain key personnel, and
this could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results, and business prospects.
33
We may not maintain adequate insurance, which
could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.
We maintain certain insurance policies to safeguard
against risks and unexpected events. However, there can be no assurance that such insurance coverage will always be available or will
always be sufficient to cover any damages resulting from any kind of claims. In addition, there are certain types of risks that may not
be covered by our insurance policies, such as war, force majeure events, or certain business interruptions. Claims that are not covered
by the policies or the failure to renew the insurance policies may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
We may expand through acquisitions of, investments
in, or strategic partnerships or other strategic transactions with, other companies, each of which may divert our management’s attention,
result in additional dilution to our stockholders, increase expenses, disrupt our operations, and harm our results of operations.
Our business strategy may, from time to time, include
acquiring or investing in new or complementary services, technologies or businesses, strategic investments and partnerships, or other
strategic transactions. We plan to identify, invest in, partner with, and acquire appropriate businesses that offer complementary advantages
to our business, thereby improving overall competitiveness and sustaining growth. We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify
suitable acquisition candidates or transaction counterparties, securely or effectively integrate or manage disparate technologies, lines
of business, personnel and corporate cultures, realize our business strategy or the expected return on our investment, or manage a geographically
dispersed company. Any such acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction could materially and adversely
affect our results of operations. The process of negotiating, effecting, and realizing the benefits from acquisitions, investments, strategic
partnerships, and strategic transactions is complex, expensive and time-consuming, and may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum
in, development and sales activities and operations of both companies, and we may incur substantial cost and expense, as well as divert
the attention of management. We may issue equity securities which could dilute current stockholders’ ownership, incur debt, assume
contingent or other liabilities and expend cash in acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships, and other strategic transactions
which could negatively impact our financial position, stockholder equity, and stock price.
Acquisitions, investments, strategic partnerships,
and other strategic transactions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:
●
the potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction, including recoupment or write-down of our investments in the partnership;
●
unanticipated costs and liabilities;
●
the potential of disputes with our partners, including arbitration or litigation resulting from a breach or alleged breach of either party’s contractual obligation, which may result in cost, distraction and potential liabilities and reputational damage;
●
difficulties in integrating new services and subscriptions, software, businesses, operations, and technology infrastructure in an efficient and effective manner;
●
difficulties in maintaining customer relations;
●
the potential loss of key employees of any acquired businesses;
●
the diversion of the attention of our senior management from the operation of our daily business;
●
the potential adverse effect on our cash position to the extent that we use cash for the transaction consideration;
●
the potential significant increase of our interest expense, leverage, and debt service requirements if we incur additional debt to pay for an acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction;
●
the potential issuance of securities that would dilute our stockholders’ percentage ownership;
●
the potential to incur large and immediate write-offs and restructuring and other related expenses;
●
the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, policies, and procedures; and
●
the inability to set up the necessary processes and systems to efficiently operate the partnerships.
34
Any acquisition, investment, strategic partnership,
or other strategic transaction could expose us to unknown liabilities. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will realize the anticipated
benefits of any acquisition, investment, strategic partnership, or other strategic transaction. In addition, our inability to successfully
operate and integrate newly acquired businesses or newly formed strategic partnerships appropriately, effectively, and in a timely manner
could impair our ability to take advantage of future growth opportunities and other advances in technology, as well as our revenues and
gross margins.
Our previous performance may not be sustainable or indicative of
our future financial outcomes, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve the same level of financial performance in the
future.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately $.739 million and $1.128 million, respectively,
and net loss of approximately $4.840 million and $ 0.405 million, respectively. Our financial results in the past may not be indicative of
future results, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitability on a consistent basis. Our revenue growth may
slow, or our revenue may decline for a number of reasons, including reduced demand for our products and services, increased competition,
industry trend, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. Meanwhile, we expect our overall operating expenses to continue
to increase in the foreseeable future, as we will incur additional expenses in connection with the expansion of our business operations
and as a newly public company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we currently expect, and there is no assurance
that we will be able to maintain sufficient operating revenue to offset our operating expenses. Any failure to increase revenue or to
manage our costs as we continue to grow and invest in our business would prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or maintaining
positive operating cash flow at all, or on a consistent basis, which would cause our business, financial condition, and results of operations
to suffer.
Adverse or weakened general economic and market
conditions may cause a reduction in customer demand, which could harm our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows
depend on the overall demand for and use of our platform and services, which depends in part on the amount of spending allocated by our
customers or potential customers on the relevant services. This spending depends on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions. The
United States and other key international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time in which economic activity was
impacted by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, inflation (including wage inflation), labor market constraints, restricted
credit, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity, and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies, and
overall economic uncertainty. These economic conditions can arise suddenly, including the recent rise in inflation and overall macroeconomic
environment, which may negatively impact our customers’ budgets. In addition, geopolitical developments, such as potential trade
wars, and actions or inactions of the United States or other major national governments, can increase levels of political and economic
unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets.
Market volatility, decreased consumer confidence,
and diminished growth expectations in the United States economy and abroad as a result of the foregoing events could adversely affect
our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our services, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, reduce
the value or duration of their contracts, or affect attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales and operating
results. Some of our customers may view the usage of our platform as a discretionary purchase, and our customers may reduce their discretionary
spending on our platform during an economic downturn. In addition, weak economic conditions, including during times of high inflation
and tightening budgets, can result in customers seeking to utilize lower-cost solutions that are available from alternative sources. Prolonged
economic slowdowns may result in requests to renegotiate existing contracts on less advantageous terms to us than those currently in place,
payment defaults on existing contracts, or non-renewal at the end of a contract term.
35
Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic events.
Occurrence of any catastrophic event, including pandemics
such as COVID-19, earthquakes, fires, floods, tsunamis or other weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware
malfunctions, cyberattacks, war or terrorist attacks, could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. In particular, our corporate
headquarters are located in Pennsylvania, a region known for flooding, and our insurance coverage may not sufficiently compensate us for
losses that may occur in the event of a severe flooding event or other significant natural disaster. In addition, acts of terrorism could
cause disruptions to the internet, the electric grid or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail or be negatively impacted
as a result of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event, our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers would
be impaired or we could lose critical data. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue
to operate during and after a disaster and to execute successfully on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business
could be harmed.
Risks Relating to Laws and Regulations
The actual or perceived failure by us, our customers,
partners or vendors to comply with stringent and evolving laws and regulations, industry standards, policies, and contractual obligations
relating to privacy, data protection, information security, and other matters could harm our reputation and business and subject us to
significant fines and liability.
In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive,
store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share confidential, proprietary,
and sensitive information, including customer and user content, business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, third-party data,
business plans, transactions, financial information. Our data processing activities subject us to numerous privacy, data protection, and
information security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security
policies, and contractual requirements.
In
the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous privacy, data protection, and information security laws,
including data breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, and other similar laws. While as of the date of this quarterly
report, we have not been subject to any legal or administrative penalties or received any notifications from regulatory authorities for
privacy, data protection, or information security concerns, the developments or changes to the applicable laws and regulations may complicate
compliance efforts and increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely. If we fail to comply with
stringent and evolving laws and regulations, industry standards, policies, and contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection,
information security, and other matters, it could harm our reputation and business and subject us to significant fines and liability.
We are subject to a variety of U.S. and international
laws and regulations, compliance with which could impair our ability to compete and non-compliance with which may result in claims, fines,
penalties, and other consequences, all of which could adversely impact our operations, business, or performance.
As
a service provider, we do not regularly monitor our platform to evaluate the legality of content shared on it by our customers. While
as of the date of this quarterly report, we have not been subject to legal or administrative actions as a result of the content
shared on our platform, the laws in this area are evolving and vary widely between jurisdictions. Accordingly, it may be possible that
in the future we and our business partners may be subject to legal actions involving our customers’ content or use of our platform.
Our platform depends on the ability of our customers
and their users to access the internet. If we fail to anticipate developments in the law, or we fail for any reason to comply with relevant
law, our platform could be blocked or restricted, and we could be exposed to significant liability that could harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of U.S. laws and regulations,
such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which requires virtual events to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, and
various laws and regulations of states where we conduct business activities or where digital content is distributed, livestreamed, or
made available through our platform or services. We are also subject to various international regulations on information security, copyrights
and intellectual properties. To the extent we expand our market presence, our exposure for violating these laws and regulations will likely
increase. If we fail to comply with the legal standards and requirements, we may face substantial civil and criminal fines, penalties,
profit disgorgement, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, disbarment from government business, the loss of export privileges,
tax reassessments, breach of contract, fraud and other litigation, reputational harm, and other foreseeable or unforeseen collateral consequences
that could harm our business.
36
Non-compliance with laws and regulations on
the part of any third parties with which we conduct business could expose us to legal expenses, compensation to third parties, penalties,
and disruptions of our business, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial performance.
Third-party customers with which we conduct business,
including healthcare organizations, as well as marketing and advertising agencies, may be subject to regulatory penalties or punishments
because of their regulatory compliance failures or infringement upon other parties’ legal rights, which may, directly or indirectly,
disrupt our business. We cannot be certain whether such third parties have violated any regulatory requirements or infringed or will infringe
any other parties’ legal rights, which could expose us to legal expenses or compensation to third parties, or both.
We, therefore, cannot rule out the possibility of
incurring liabilities or suffering losses due to any non-compliance by third parties. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify
irregularities or non-compliance in the business practices of third parties with which we conduct business, or that such irregularities
or non-compliance will be corrected in a prompt and proper manner. Any legal liabilities and regulatory actions affecting third parties
involved in our business may affect our business activities and reputation, and may in turn affect our business, results of operations,
and financial performance.
Moreover, regulatory penalties or punishments against
our business stakeholders such as third-party service providers, whether or not resulting in any legal or regulatory implications upon
us, may nonetheless cause business interruptions or even suspension of these business stakeholders, which could in turn disrupt our usual
course of business and result in material negative impact on our business operations, results of operation and financial condition.
Failure to protect intellectual property rights
could adversely affect our business.
We regard our domain names and other intellectual
property we may develop or acquire as critical to our success. We have taken measures to protect our intellectual property, but these
measures might not be sufficient or effective. We may bring lawsuits to protect against the potential infringement of our intellectual
property rights. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary technology and other intellectual property is difficult and expensive, and
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce their intellectual property rights. Future litigation could result in substantial
costs and diversion of our resources and could disrupt our business, as well as materially adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations. Further, despite the potentially substantial costs, we cannot assure you that we will prevail in such litigation.
In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. Any
failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their
proprietary intellectual property rights, which could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from promoting our services.
We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects
of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property
rights held by third parties. We may from time to time in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual
property rights of others. For instance, we may face claims of trademark or copyright infringement for the use of images, pictures, or
materials used on our website, in promotional materials, such as brochures or videos, or in the distribution and storage of digital content.
There could also be existing intellectual property of which we are not aware that our services may inadvertently infringe. If any third-party
infringement claims are brought against us, we may be forced to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and
operations to defend against these claims, regardless of their merits. Additionally, the application and interpretation of intellectual
property right laws and the procedures and standards for granting trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights are evolving
and may be uncertain, and we cannot assure you that courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our analysis. Such claims, even
if they do not result in liability, may harm our reputation. If we were found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others,
we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may
incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. As a result, our business and financial performance may be materially
and adversely affected.
37
We may from time to time be subject to claims,
controversies, lawsuits, and legal proceedings, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial
condition.
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims,
controversies, lawsuits, legal proceedings, or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business involving labor and
employment, wage and hour, intellectual property, data breach and other matters. We expect that the number and significance of these potential
disputes or claims may increase as our business expands and our company grows larger. Contractual provisions and insurance coverage may
not cover potential claims and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liabilities we may face. Any claims against us, whether meritorious
or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, and result in the diversion
of significant operational resources. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the results of any claims may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In addition, negative publicity regarding claims or
judgments made against our Company may damage our reputation and may result in a material adverse impact on us.
We are subject to various U.S. anti-corruption
laws, and any failure to comply with such laws, and any laws to which we may become subject, whether in existence now or hereafter, could
harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to various U.S. anti-corruption laws,
such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), as well as other similar anti-bribery and
anti-kickback laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries, from
directly or indirectly authorizing, offering, or providing improper payments or benefits to government officials and other recipients
for improper purposes. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We anticipate that our
exposure for violating these laws will increase as we continue to expand our presence, and any failure to comply with such laws could
harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Capital Stock and Trading
The price of our common stock could be subject
to rapid and substantial volatility.
There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups
followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively
smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with a relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock
price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular,
our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices.
Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition
or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.
In addition, if the trading volumes of our common
stock are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence the price of our common stock. This low volume
of trades could also cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any
trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at
depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely
affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our
common stock. A decline in the market price of our common stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of
common stock or other of our securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an
active market in our common stock will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may
be unable to readily sell the shares of common stock they hold or may not be able to sell at all.
By issuing preferred stock, we may be able to
delay, defer or prevent a change of control.
Our certificate of incorporation permits us to issue,
without approval from our stockholders, a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are outstanding. Our board of directors
can determine the designations, powers, preferences and voting and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
granted to, or imposed upon, the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation
of such series. It is possible that our board of directors, in determining the rights, preferences and privileges to be granted when the
preferred stock is issued, may include provisions that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging
bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights
of the holders of our common stock.
38
Anti-takeover provisions in our articles of
incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders,
and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles
of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, as amended, could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy
contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect
of discouraging takeover bids.
●
require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws;
●
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;
●
eliminate the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
●
prohibit cumulative voting; and
●
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
In addition, Nevada Revised Statutes imposes certain
restrictions on business combinations and certain changes or potential changes in control of a Nevada corporation. Anti-takeover provisions
in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and under Nevada law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial
to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Our articles of incorporation designate the
Supreme Court of the State of Nevada as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings, which could limit a stockholder’s
ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or employees.
Our articles of incorporation provide that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding
brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the Nevada Revised
Statutes, our articles of incorporation or our bylaws; or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
There is uncertainty as to whether a court will enforce
these forum selection clauses. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum
that it finds favorable for disputes, which may discourage such lawsuits. We interpret the forum selection clauses in our articles of
incorporation to be limited to the specified actions and not to apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
Section 27 of the Exchange Act provides that United States federal courts shall have jurisdiction over all suits and any action brought
to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and Section 22 of the Securities
Act provides that United States federal and state courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty
or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
If a court were to find the choice of forum provision
contained in our articles of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated
with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
If we fail to implement and maintain an effective
system of internal controls, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations
or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.
Our failure to implement and maintain an effective
system of internal controls could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with
applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our common stock, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover,
ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.
39
We are a public company in the United States subject
to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require that we include a report of management on
our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on 10-K beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2025. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act,
our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management
concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting
its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which
our controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition,
after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial
resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation in
a timely manner.
We bear substantial increased costs as a result of being a public
company.
We completed our initial offering in 2025 and have
started bearing significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company since
then. These additional costs could negatively affect our financial results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.
Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations
increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier. These laws, regulations,
and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance
is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards,
and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention
from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company
reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive
officers.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as
defined in the JOBS Act and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following
the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235
billion, or (c) in which we are a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the prior December 31, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt
during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements
that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement
under Section 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to
delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,”
or until five years following the completion of our initial public offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant additional
expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules
and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we have been required to increase the number of independent directors and
adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.
We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments
with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs
we may incur or the timing of such costs.
We may not be able to maintain the listing of
our common stock on Nasdaq.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to
maintain the listing standards of Nasdaq, the exchange on which our common stock is traded, which includes requirements that we maintain
our stockholders’ equity, total value of shares of common stock held by unaffiliated stockholders, minimum bid price, and market
capitalization above certain specified levels.
If we fail to conform to the Nasdaq listing requirements
on an ongoing basis, our common stock might cease to trade on Nasdaq, and may move to the OTCQB or OTC Pink Markets operated by OTC Markets
Group, Inc. These quotation services are generally considered to be markets that are less efficient and that provide less liquidity in
the shares of common stock than Nasdaq.
40
Future equity offerings or other equity issuances of us could further
dilute common stock.
We may in the future issue additional shares of our
common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. These issuances may occur at times or
on terms that could be disadvantageous to our existing stockholders. Our stockholders’ percentage ownership and voting power may
be diluted, and they may experience a reduction in the value of their investment. Additionally, such issuances, if substantial, could
negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish
research or reports about our business, or if they publish a negative report regarding our common stock, the price of our common stock
and trading volume could decline.
Any trading market for our common stock may depend
in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control
over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If
one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the
financial markets, which could cause the price of our common stock and the trading volume to decline.
We are a “controlled company” within
the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, and follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely
affect our public stockholders.
As
of the date of this quarterly report, our largest stockholder, V-Cube, Inc., directly and indirectly owns more than a majority
of the voting power of our outstanding common stock and is able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. V-Cube,
Inc. is a Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and its chief executive officer, Naoaki Mashita, has served as our Director
since February 2024 and is our minority stockholder. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power
is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and is permitted to phase in its compliance
with the independent committee requirements. We rely on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules.
Specifically, have not formed the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees, and a majority of our board of directors
does not consist of independent directors, as permitted by the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules.
We have formed an audit committee that will consist of three independent directors and we are phasing in our compliance with the relevant
audit committee composition requirements by having two independent directors as of the time of our listing, and will have three independent
directors within one year of our listing. During the period we remain a controlled company and during any transition period following
a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are
subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
We are an “emerging growth company”
and a “smaller reporting company” under the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable
to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company” and
a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” and “smaller reporting
companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides
that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the
Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay
the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take
advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company”
until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenue exceeds $1.235 billion,
if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held
by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
41
We may continue to be a smaller reporting company
even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller
reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) the market value of our common stock
held by non-affiliates is equal to or less than $250 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal
quarter, or (ii) our annual revenue is equal to or less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market
value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is equal to or less than $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently
completed second fiscal quarter.
We cannot predict if investors will find our common
stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there
may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. In addition, taking advantage of reduced
disclosure obligations may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible. If investors
are unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry, we may not be able to raise additional capital as and when we
need it, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds
The following “Use of Proceeds” information
relates to the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File Number 333-282621), for our IPO, which was declared effective by the
SEC on February 7, 2025. On February 18, 2025, we completed our IPO, in which we registered, issued and sold an aggregate of 1,667,000
shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $6.00 per share for $10,002,000. Bancroft Capital, LLC was the representative of
the underwriters of our IPO.
We incurred approximately $1,102 in expenses in
connection with our IPO, which included approximately $550 in underwriting discounts, approximately $100 in expenses paid to or
for underwriters, approximately $440 in legal and financial service fees, and approximately $12 in other expenses. None of the
transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our Company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more
of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds we received from the IPO were paid, directly or indirectly, to any
of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.
The
net proceeds raised from the IPO were approximately $8,900, after deducting underwriting discounts and the offering expenses payable
by us. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have used approximately $2,500, $2,000, $2,000, $1,800,
and $300 from the net proceeds for (i) advisory services for future financing related to acquisitions, business development and
growth initiatives, (ii) repayment of short-term loans, (iii) marketing efforts to boost brand awareness, (iv) working capital and general
corporate purposes to support day-to-day operations, and (v) research and development for platform enhancement, respectively. We intend
to use the remaining proceeds from our IPO largely in the manner disclosed in our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File
Number 333-282621).

Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On
May 14, 2025, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and board of directors of the Company approved the dismissal of
Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
Also on May 14, 2025, the Audit Committee and board of directors approved the engagement of ASSENTSURE PAC (“ASSENTSURE”)
as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
The
reports of Grassi on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and December
31, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included
an explanatory paragraph relating to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through May 14, 2025, there were
no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Grassi on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Grassi, would have caused Grassi to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements of the Company
for such periods, or (ii) reportable events (as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In
accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided Grassi with a copy of this quarterly report and
requested that Grassi furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether
Grassi agrees with the statements herein as they relate to Grassi. A copy of Grassi’s letter dated May 19, 2025, is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-42515) and is incorporated by reference into this Item

Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted ASSENTSURE regarding any of the matters referred to in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or
(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item
5.02: Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
On
May 9, 2025, Mr. John M. Orobono Jr. notified the Company of his resignation as the Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and a Director
of the Company, effective May 9, 2025. The resignation of Mr. Orobono was due to personal reasons, and was not a result of any disagreement
with the Company on any matter related to the operations, policies, or practices of the Company.
While
the Company is looking for a full-time Chief Financial Officer to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Orobono’s resignation, the Company’s
director, Naoaki Mashita will serve as the interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective on May 9, 2025.
Mr.
Naoaki Mashita, age 47, has also served as the Company’s Director since February 2024. Since 1998, Mr. Mashita has been the chief
executive officer of V-Cube, Inc., the Company’s parent company, and was responsible for such company’s overall management.
From November 2018 to August 2019, Mr. Mashita was the chief executive officer and president at Sensyn Robotics, Inc., where he oversaw
the company’s daily operations. Mr. Mashita currently serves on the board of directors for Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank Limited,
Ushio Inc., and Micin Inc. Mr. Mashita received his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Keio University in 2000 and his
master’s degree in Computer Science from Keio University Graduate School in 2002. Given
Mr. Mashita’s experience, the Company believes that he is qualified to serve as interim Chief Financial Officer until
the Company hires a full-time Chief Financial Officer .
There
are no family relationships between Mr. Mashita and any of the Company’s directors or
other executive officer s. There is no arrangement or understanding between
Mr. Mashita and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Mashita was selected as interim Chief Financial Officer. There have been no transactions
involving Mr. Mashita that would be required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
