Focus Universal Inc.: Form 10-K for the period ended Dec 31, 2025

Company History and Background.

Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation. We are based in the city of Ontario, California, and were incorporated in Nevada in 2012. In December of 2013, we filed an S-1 registration statement that went effective on March 14, 2014. From March 14, 2014, through August 30, 2021, our securities traded on the OTCQB Market. From August 31, 2021, through January 27, 2022, our securities traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. From January 28, 2022, to September 22, 2024, our securities traded on the Nasdaq Global Market. On September 23, 2024, our securities were transferred for trading to the Nasdaq Capital Market. We hold 28 patents and patents pending in various phases of the patent process.

We operate through multiple subsidiaries, including Perfecular Inc. (“Perfecular”), AVX Design and Integration, Inc. (“AVX”) also doing business as Smart AVX, Focus Universal (Shenzhen) Technology Company LTD (“Focus Shenzhen”), and Lusher, Inc. (“Lusher”).

Perfecular Inc. was founded in September 2009, is headquartered in Ontario, California, and is engaged in designing certain digital sensor products, and sells a broad selection of horticultural sensors and filters in North America and Europe.

AVX, incorporated on June 16, 2000, in the state of California, is an IoT installation and management company specializing in high performance and easy to use audio/video systems, home theaters, lighting control, automation and integration systems for houses, apartments, commercial complexes, and office spaces. AVX also markets and sells our internet of things (IoT) products, such as high-end LED, and live wall panel products and cameras, under the Smart AVX name.

On December 23, 2021, we founded Focus Shenzhen in China for manufacturing procurement expertise and to support research and development activities. Focus Shenzhen is designed to function as a branch office accessing high level research and development support, and the ability to source products and build relationships with Chinese manufacturers.

On April 30, 2024, we founded Lusher Inc. to develop, market, and commercialize an automation financial reporting software called One Touch Financial.

In August of 2024, we decided to discontinue the operations of one of our subsidiaries AT Tech Systems LLC (“AT Tech”). AT Tech specialized in commercial and industrial smart IoT installation projects in areas throughout Southern California.

On November 29, 2024, we held our 2024 annual shareholders meeting, and the shareholders approved of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000.

On January 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate Change pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.209 with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s (i) authorized Common Stock shares and (ii) issued and outstanding Common Stock shares. The reverse stock split became effective on January 31, 2025. All shares of Common Stock, options, warrants and securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to this reverse stock split for all periods presented. As a result of the reverse split, the Company was authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

On September 8, 2025, the Company filed its Second Amendment and Restatement to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of its authorized capital stock to 30,000,000 shares with 25,000,000 shares designated as Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock.

On October 20, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Designation”) that had the effect of designating 15,000 shares of its 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

On October 21, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Designation”) that had the effect of designating 1,000,000 shares of its 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock.

On November 17, 2025, the Company increased the total number of authorized capital stock from 30,000,000 shares to 1,100,000,000 shares and designated 1,000,000,000 shares as Common Stock and designated 100,000,000 shares as preferred stock by filing a Third Amendment and Restatement to the Articles of Incorporation.

As such, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 15,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1515 W Cameron Avenue, Ste. 210, West Covina, CA 91790. Our telephone number is (626) 272-3883, and our website is www.focusuniversal.com (http://www.focusuniversal.com). Our website and the information contained therein, or connected thereto, are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report.

Our current focus is on commercializing our universal smart technology and financial reporting software. We plan to utilize our universal smart technology for smart meters and automation systems, which will be incorporated into IoT devices. To generate revenues, we will focus on product development, technological upgrades, technical service and customer data collection. We believe this technology has applications in several industries and have completed the development of a system for horticulture applications. Our financial reporting software is an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled software designed to aid accounting professional with the preparation of reports based on financial statements, such reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. We intend to commercialize this product under a software as a service (SaaS) model.

Other than our financial reporting software, the technologies, products and services that we have developed, and are currently developing, we believe will have significant applications in the IoT industry. The IoT refers to the overarching network created by billions of internet-compatible devices and machines that share data and information worldwide. As the sophistication of both hardware and software in the consumer electronics industry skyrockets, an increasing share of the electronic devices produced around the world are manufactured with internet connectivity. Forecasts suggest that by 2030, around 50 billion of these IoT devices will be in use worldwide, creating a massive web of interconnected devices spanning everything from smartphones to kitchen appliances. We believe that IoT will soon reach a critical limit; we do not have enough human labor and natural resources to support its growth. Fifty billion IoT devices will challenge existing resources. To address these challenges, we have segmented our operations and developed the technologies and products described below.

In addition to our universal smart technology and financial reporting software, we are current researching and developing the following:

Device on a Chip

We have developed an innovative “device on a chip” (“DoC”) technology, which combines the required electronic circuits of various integrated circuit components onto a single, integrated chip (“IC”). Our DoC technology works as a single component but is capable of handling entire IoT device functions (excluding sensors and architecture-specific components). Our DoC technology includes both the hardware and software, and decreases the number of interconnections between components. We believe that incorporating our DoC technology into our product offering, will simplify the manufacturing process, lowering our costs and allowing us to achieve a fast time-to-market. Our planned DoC technology allows devices to achieve interoperability with one another and to be interchangeable, both features where traditional IoT devices fall short.

Our research and development suggest that the existing IC integration in IoT devices is mainly focused on hardware-to-hardware integration, not incorporating software solutions. This lack of incorporating software under a common operating system, application software, and extra interface into ICs, limits IC integration to the component level. Software is a critical component in electronics, and the more tightly integrated the software, the better the power and performance. Software also adds an element of flexibility and allows multiple discrete ICs to be integrated into a single IC.

5G Ultra-narrowband Technology

Fifth generation (“5G”) telecommunications networks are expected to revolutionize the digital economy by enabling new applications that depend on ultra-fast communications on an industrial scale. 5G promises to deliver an improved end-user experience by offering new applications and services through gigabit speeds and significantly improved performance and reliability. A World Economic Forum report stated that by 2035 5G networks would contribute $13.2 trillion in economic value globally and generate 22.3 million jobs in the 5G global value chain from direct network investments and residual services. 5G networks and their related applications are expected to add three million jobs and $1.2 trillion to the economy in the U.S.

Though 5G offers a significant increase in speed and bandwidth over previous generation telecommunication networks, its more limited range for high-speed internet will require further infrastructure investments. A 5G network requires spectrum across low, mid, and high spectrum bands to deliver widespread coverage and support a wide range of use cases.

High band, mmWave spectrum is used primarily for urban and dense urban markets. The characteristics of high band, mmWave spectrum is that it is very wide and provides a significant increase in capacity. Because of the greater spectrum width, speed is increased, and transmission latency is reduced. However, the drawback is that high-band spectrum does not propagate over a large coverage area. For example, a 28 GHz mmWave spectrum can only travel 500 feet.

Low-band frequencies can travel long distances and penetrate buildings but can only carry a limited amount of data. High-band frequencies can carry a substantial amount of data, but due to their shorter wavelength, they travel shorter distances and are more susceptible to buildings and trees blocking the signal.

Unlike 4G LTE, which operates on established frequency bands below 6GHz, 5G requires frequencies up to 300GHz. Wireless carriers still need to bid for the costly higher spectrum bands, as they build and roll out their respective 5G networks. Adding the hardware required for 5G networks can significantly increase operating expenses. According to THALES, total global spending on 5G is set to reach $620 billion by 2025.

A typical 5G base station consumes up to twice or more power than a 4G base station. Energy costs increase at higher frequencies due to a need for more antennas and a denser layer of small cells. Edge computing facilities needed to support local processing and new IoT services will also add to overall network power usage.

Our ultra-narrowband (UNB) wireless communication 5G+ technology aims to achieve both low band 5G coverage and 1 Gbps high-band speed because we employ an ultra-narrow spectrum channel (<1kHz) to establish an ultra-long-distance link between the 5G base station and the receiver.

UNB allows for long-range coverage, making it an optimal low-power wide-area network solution for industrial IoT systems. Additionally, its ultra-high power spectral density creates endurance against interference and jamming, which enables the friendly coexistence of UNB on shared frequency bands. The narrower the bandwidth, the fewer occurrences of noise and interference entering the bandwidth. In addition, UNB’s transmission of energy concentrates on ultra-narrowband width, resulting in a very high concentration of power in a very narrow frequency band.

Figure 4. Comparison between Ultra-Narrowband and Broadband

We developed an ultra-narrowband technology that offers a potential alternative and/or complementary solution to the broadband technology used in 5G networks and meets the challenging 5G demands. A comparison of our ultra-narrowband technology with 4G and 5G is illustrated in the table below:

As shown by the above table, our internal testing shows that our finished ultra-narrowband technology can achieve speeds of 4 Mbps per second at a bandwidth of less than 1000 Hz. The spectral efficiency of our finished technology has reached 4000 bits/sec/Hz. Development work of our ultra-narrowband technology is underway for speeds of 64 Mbps at a bandwidth of 64 MHz with spectral efficiency of over 4000 bits/sec/Hz.

Our internal testing suggests that a single 5G+ subcarrier wave has the potential to provide speeds of 64 to 256 Mbps. Moreover, multiple UNB subcarriers may be combined, which effectively increases bandwidth. Given anticipated data rates of 64 Mbps, we believe only 4 to 16 5G+ subcarrier waves would be needed to achieve the current 5G speeds, and just 40 to 160 5G+ subcarrier waves would be needed to achieve 6G speeds. By contrast, 5G technology requires 3,276 subcarrier waves to achieve its current speeds. Fewer subcarriers translate into cost savings because they are more compact and consume less energy. Our goal is to increase the speed of 5G networks while simultaneously reducing the number of subcarriers.

Our internal testing suggests that to achieve speeds of 1 Gbps, our 5G+ technology would only require bandwidths of 4 to 16 kHz, which is narrow enough to be operated in lower frequency spectrums. This would mean that 5G+ providers would not need to purchase the higher frequency spectrums required by 5G technology. Accordingly, a 5G+ provider would realize significant savings from not having to bid for costly higher spectrum band licenses. Operating in relatively lower frequency spectrum bands, when compared to 5G, also means that 5G+ would have a more extensive coverage area than that of 5G, in many cases three to ten times larger. It would also mean that we could reduce the number of subcarriers and reduce the overall costs of the 5G networks infrastructure.

Ultra-narrowband Power Line Communication (“PLC”) Technology

Our patented PLC is innovative communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables in the electric grid. Because PLC uses the existing power lines, it does not require substantial new investment for a dedicated wiring infrastructure. Existing power lines already form a distribution network that penetrates every residential, commercial, and industrial property. This makes PLC the most cost-effective, scalable interconnectivity approach for the backbone communication infrastructure required for IoT. PLC allows IoT devices to be plugged into power outlets to establish a connection using the existing electrical wiring, permitting data sharing without the substantial investment and inconvenience of running dedicated network cables.

The power line network was not originally designed to function as a communication channel. The harsh electrical noise present on power lines and variations in equipment and standards make communications over the power grid difficult and present several challenges for data transfer. Signals propagating along the power line are subjected to substantial amounts of noise, attenuation, and distortion. This is why previous attempts at implementing PLC technology resulted in power companies and internet service providers deciding that the technology is not a viable means of delivering data or broadband internet access.

We have successfully developed ultra-narrowband PLC technology that can transfer data through the power grid. According to our internal testing, our ultra-narrowband PLC technology can send and receive data without the customary interference that occurs in standard office and residential environments, achieving speeds of 4 Mbps at a bandwidth of less than 1000 Hz. To test noise interference and disturbance, we utilized six industrial blowers simultaneously when testing, and no significant interference was found. By comparison, a single hair dryer will render our competitors’ legacy PLC technology completely useless. We have completed the development of our 4Mbps PLC modules and the printed circuit board layout. These modules will be used for IoT systems involving over 1,000 sensors.

Natural Integrated Programming Language (“NIPL”)

We have developed a patented “user interface machine auto generation platform” (“UIMAGP”) to replace manual software design. This platform is used to build IoT user interfaces. The natural integrated programming language we have developed is like the language humans use to communicate with each other, which makes it is easy for humans to learn, while still being understood by a machine. The UIMAGP simplifies the process of software programming by saving hundreds of lines of code into a micro code that can be saved to a sensor module. When that sensor module is plugged into a universal smart instrumentations platform (USIP), the user interface specification codes saved to the sensor module is sent to the platform and a universal display, such as a smartphone, a computer, or a display unit. The UIMAGP saved on the universal display automatically generates the user interface within milliseconds. An embedded coding hardware engineer can design sensor module hardware and provide the user interface specification code achieving the hardware-defining software.

The UIMAGP and user interface specification codes work collectively to perform the function of traditional customized software, enabling UIMAGP to be shared by the estimated 20 billion IoT devices worldwide,[7][8] a feat that to our knowledge, current manual software designs have not been able not achieve.

Universal Smart Instrumentation Hardware and Software Platform (USIP)

USIP is an advanced hardware and software integrated instrumentation platform with a large-scale modular design approach. USIP integrates technologies, including cloud technology, wired and wireless communication technology, software programming, instrumentation technology, artificial intelligence, PLC, sensor networking, and IoT technology into a single platform. This results in circuit designs that we believe are vastly cheaper and faster than those constructed of discrete integrated circuit components designed from scratch.

USIP has primary functionalities and an open architecture capable of incorporating a variety of individual instruments, functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors into a single unit. With USIP, Instruments, sensors, or probes ranging from a few to several hundred or even thousands in any combination from various industries and vendors can share or reuse the same platform. Adding, removing, or changing instruments or sensors is all the platform requires to switch from one type of device to another without revising the software and redesigning the hardware. We believe our USIP will revolutionize the field of instrumentation, measurement, control, and automation.

The development of USIP is closely associated with the development and proliferation of computers and mobile devices that provide the foundation and technical support to the universal smart instrument such as an attractive graphical user touch screen interface, data processing and analysis capabilities, video and audio, cameras, GPS, ubiquitous wireless connectivity, artificial intelligence, cloud-based communications and a diverse number of functions and software available to users that are not contained in traditional instruments. These features embody the advantages of USIP, which are lacking in stand-alone instrument systems. When compared with traditional instrument systems, USIP’s biggest advantage is cost savings. Other distinctive features include universality, interoperability, flexibility, compatibility, upgradeability, expandability, scalability, security, modularity, fast prototyping, reducing inventory, plug-and-play operation, remote accessibility, simplification, standardization, and cloud instrumentation.

We subdivide instruments into a reusable foundation component to the maximum extent possible, architecture-specific components, and sensor modules, which perform traditional instruments’ functions at a fraction of their cost. For most instruments, 90% of the design, parts, and firmware are the same. These parts can be replaced by USIP.

USIP utilizes a computer or a mobile device as its display and control to communicate with a group of sensors, instruments, probes, or controllers manufactured by different vendors in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of their unique characteristics.

The portable version of USIP, is a universal device called Ubiquitor, is illustrated below. When a blood pressure sensor is plugged into the Ubiquitor, the user interface specification code saved on the blood pressure sensor is sent to the Ubiquitor, and a computer or smartphone will then generate the user interface for the blood pressure device based on the interface specification code saved in the sensor.

Figure 5. A blood pressure sensor is connected to our universal device, which we call the Ubiquitor, and changes our device into a blood pressure measurement instrument.

Similarly, if we remove the blood pressure sensor and connect our Ubiquitor to both a pH sensor and a CO2 sensor, the Ubiquitor changes to a two-sensor device capable of measuring pH and CO2 concentration. Each sensor has its own user interface automatically generated based on the user interface specification code saved in each sensor.

Figure 6. A pH sensor and a CO2 sensor are connected to our universal device, and our device changes into a two-sensor device. A computer or smartphone can also be used for display.

As illustrated below, when a light sensor is also plugged into our Ubiquitor using a three-way splitter, the Ubiquitor becomes a three-sensor device.

Figure 7. A pH sensor, a CO2 sensor, and a light sensor are connected to the Ubiquitor , and the device changes into a three-sensor device. A computer or smartphone can also be used for display.

As illustrated in Figure 8, the Ubiquitor can connect any number of sensors in any combination.

Figure 8. Any number of sensors in any combination can be connected to the Ubiquitor and changed it into a multiple sensor device. A computer or smartphone can also be used for the display.

The Ubiquitor is a handheld, fully modular system with a universal sensor node and gateway system that uses a smartphone as the output display module that displays the readings of various probe modules. We implemented our Ubiquitor in the configuration pictured in Figure 9. This configuration demonstrates that the Ubiquitor simultaneously controls 27 light sensors, 21 pH sensors, and 23 temperature humidity sensors (which have 23 temperature sensors and 23 humidity sensors), representing one device controlling a total of 72 devices and 95 sensors. Our Ubiquitor also controls two lights in this configuration, which it can control by turning the lights on or off (including on a schedule) or by using a light sensor to control the lights’ output intensity.

Figure 9. Our USIP simultaneously monitors and controls 72 different devices and 95 sensors.

To illustrate, the entire horticulture industry has only a few hundred devices from different vendors for various measurement and control purposes. One Ubiquitor and corresponding sensors or actuators can replace them all at a fraction of the cost. Leveraging the same technical principles discussed above, we can simplify the smart control and monitoring in this and related industries (including agriculture and aquaculture) with a platform that requires little design work for interoperability between sensors and control devices.

Figure 11. Ubiquitor, Universal Smart Device.

All household measurement and control devices, such as air conditioner controls, swimming pool controls, garage door controls, sprinkler controls, lighting controls, and motorized curtain controls, can be replaced by a single Ubiquitor and accessories.

Current Product Offering

In an effort to continually develop our product lines, we plan to phase out the traditional, lower-margin products and are preparing to launch a new line of products that have been in development for several years. These newer technology products will be released in phases, and we intend that increasing amounts of technology will be layered upon these products. Additionally, we plan to continue to increase our efforts in protecting more intellectual property rights. We have developed products in both the controlled agriculture industry and home automation industries, taking advantage of our existing relationships in both sectors.

We are building a U.S. sales team to market our product lines. We have already begun marketing our current Smart AVX-branded large format multimedia touch screens, surveillance camera system (cameras and network video recorders (NVRs)), indoor and outdoor LED screens, and Focus Universal-branded VOIP phone service systems, both via our sales staff and the Internet.

Ubiquitor - Universal Smart Device

The initial, simplified version of universal smart IoT technology is our universal smart device, the Ubiquitor. The Ubiquitor’s efficient and cost-effective approach to the cost of connected sensors is illustrated above. The Ubiquitor was first showcased at the Consumer Technology Association’s CES 2024 trade show, which attracted significant interest from potential customers.

Smart Home Installation

Our Ubiquitor device will be used to offer residential customers an entire smart home product line. We have finished designing smart devices for lighting control, air conditioner control, sprinkler control, garden light control, garage door control, and heating control and are in the process of developing a swimming pool control device, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide monitor.

We believe smart installation based on the USIP, and our Ubiquitor together will include more functionalities than the current systems offered by our competitors. It is our goal that our smart systems would integrate, exchange data, interact and connect utilizing our forthcoming PLC technology. As a result, the installation process would be simplified, and its costs would be reduced.

The Ubiquitor will be central to our smart installation systems. The Ubiquitor’s connectivity capabilities will allow our systems to be expanded and customized in the future.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, should we be unable to successfully integrate the Ubiquitor into our smart installations, the Ubiquitor will continue to be a flagship product of our Company that can be applied to various other industrial and commercial purposes.

In addition to the development of the universal smart IoT platform, Focus Universal has showcased the production model of Ubiqutors and scientific sensors developed by their team. These sensors include quantum photosynthetic active radiation sensors, TDS sensors, pH sensors, total dissolved oxygen sensors, pressure sensors, ORP sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, carbon dioxide sensors, water level sensors, chlorine sensors, and turbidity sensors. These sensors are designed for use in agriculture, aquaculture, and the beverage industry. They are ready for marketing and have garnered significant interest at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. These sensors can be sold individually with Ubiquitors or bundled together to form an integrated IoT solution.

SEC Financial Reporting Software

Our subsidiaries Perfecular Inc. and Lusher Inc. are developing and designing a software to streamline SEC financial reporting for financial reporting and tax firms, which we named, One Touch Financial. Currently, we have completed the SEC financial reporting software in a Microsoft Word format. Our team is focused on streamlining the entire SEC financial reporting process for SEC attorneys, PCAOB accounting firms, and other financial reporting professionals. Our goal is that with a single click, our software automatically retrieves financial data from external accounting systems and generates consolidated financial statements and SEC reports in WORD, PDF, HTML, and XBRL formats—all within just a few minutes. Our developers are trying to completely eliminate human involvement when it comes to manually updating the numbers. This automation is designed to create an error-free, seamless process. Focus Universal expect to showcase the software to public in 2026.

Strategy and Marketing Plan

The Company plans to market the USIP to the industrial sector first, including key growth industries such as indoor agriculture. Once the technology is established in that industry, the core technologies of universality and interoperability through a readily available device, such as a mobile device or smartphone, may be ported to products specifically intended for the consumer and residential markets.

While industrial markets are large, the consumer and residential markets are even more significant. This two-phase approach will allow for continuous and increasing revenue growth. Moreover, during the industrial phase of development, the Company will test and refine its products to ensure that they are ready for the consumer and residential markets.

We will continue to design, manufacture, market, and distribute our electronic measurement devices, such as temperature humidity meters, digital meters, quantum PAR meters, pH meters, TDS meters, and CO2 monitors. The universal smart technology has been applied to our existing traditional devices and demonstrated significant functional improvement and hardware cost savings. We believe hardware cost reductions of up to 90% have been achieved. However, promoting universal smart technology and universal smart IoT devices to our customers, including traditional instrument manufacturers, will be the central focus of our future business.

Our goals over the next three years include:

• Raise capital to move into full sales and marketing team for our Ubiquitor device and growing product lines;
• Partner with manufacturers and promote the adoption of our Ubiquitor device in a USIP;
• Acquire a stable market share of the sensor device market;
• Continue performing research and development on PLC technology;
• Focus on building our smart home offerings so that we can reduce the cost of smart home implementation to expand smart home installation and implementation beyond luxury homes;
• File additional patents to expand our intellectual property portfolio related to the many uses of our Ubiquitor device;
• Commercialize our financial reporting software under a SaaS model; and
• File patents to protect our PLC technology.

To achieve these goals, we intend to focus on the following initiatives:

• Position the Ubiquitor device as the industry standard in universal sensor reading technology;
• Establish strategic supply chain channels to facilitate efficient production operations; and
• Communicate the product and service differentiation through direct networking and effective marketing.

Growth Strategy

Growth through Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) represent a significant part of our growth strategy because M&A can fill business gaps or add key business operations without requiring us to wait years for marketing and sales cycles to materialize. We have used this growth strategy in our acquisition of AVX, and in the future intend to continue to use M&A to find and secure opportunities that will either: (i) achieve the objective of growth in our market segments; or (ii) provide an area of expansion that will add to the Company’s products and/or service lines in markets that we are currently not serving, but could serve if we had the appropriate expertise. The resulting combination of our existing products and services, new key personnel, and strategic partnerships through M&A will allow us to operate in new markets and provide new offerings to our existing market.

Acquiring key competitors may allow the addition of key personnel to our team. These additions may include people with vast industry knowledge, which can act as a catalyst to further our growth and lead to the development of new products and business lines. We will seek to target synergistic acquisitions in the same industry, targeting different geographic locations, which will allow us to actively compete on a regional or national scale in the IoT segment. If we target businesses in the same sector or location, we hope to combine resources to reduce costs, eliminate duplicate facilities or departments and increase revenue. We believe this strategy will allow for accelerated growth and maximize investor returns.

One of our key strategies to grow through M&A is to acquire smaller businesses that focus on IoT installation technology (industrial or residential) and in the USIP or PLC industries. In addition to providing potential adjacent technologies and other useful resources, these businesses also possess important distribution channels which would allow for distribution of our main products including the Ubiquitor. The company would also consider targets which would solely allow for distribution channels for our platforms or adjacent products.

Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Engineering Consulting and Design Services

Universal smart technology is new to most electronic engineers and manufacturers. One way to promote our universal smart technology is to provide direct OEM engineering design consulting services to potential industrial customers. Direct, on-site consulting will educate our industrial consumers on the many ways our technology can be implemented in a variety of industrial applications. We believe that we are well positioned to perform product design and engineering consulting services for future OEM customers. We believe we can operate as a seamless extension of our customers’ engineering organizations and add scale, flexibility, and speed to their design processes. Through our engineering consulting services strategy, we intend to become our customers’ engineering partner at all stages of their system design cycle so that we may effectively assist them in transforming ideas into production-ready products and accelerate time to market for our universal smart technology products.

Technology Licensing

We may also consider entering into licensing arrangements with our customers for our technology. We believe that once we educate our industrial consumers, they may want to integrate our universal smart technology into their own technology through licensing agreements. We believe licensing our intellectual property may provide a revenue stream with no additional overhead, all while allowing us to retain proprietary ownership and create long-term industrial consumers who rely on our products. By creating incentives, such as cost incentives, to license our IP rather than design their own technology, we believe potential customers could save on design costs and create business development opportunities. Licensing may also allow us to rely on the expertise, capacity, and skill of a licensee to commercialize our IP, which is especially valuable if we lack the infrastructure, financial resources, and know-how to bring a product to market independently.

Distribution Method

We intend to engage in relationships predominantly with standard U.S. component manufacturers and similar electronics providers for the manufacturing of unassembled parts of the Ubiquitor and its sensor nodes, and to then ship such parts to our Ontario, California facility where we assemble the Ubiquitor devices and sensor nodes. Afterwards, we intend to distribute our Ubiquitor devices to distributors and retailers directly and ship directly to traditional industrial instrument manufacturers. We have a sales department operating out of our Ontario, California office. We intend to market the Ubiquitor to industrial end-users through direct business-to-business sales channels and also directly to consumers via e-commerce internet platforms. For our quantum light meters, we intend to implement a direct sales method via Amazon.com and other online retailers.

Raw Materials

The electronic components used in the Ubiquitor are common and can be easily purchased through a variety of suppliers with little advanced notice. We predominantly use large-scale manufacturers in the United States such as Texas Instruments and Intel for the major components. Other key suppliers we could consider include Analog Devices, Skyworks Solutions, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors, Maxim Integrated, On Semiconductor, and Microchip Technology. Production and assembly lines are also available worldwide if we needed to outsource or increase our capacity, though we intend to complete our assembly in our Ontario, California facility.

Manufacturing and Assembly

We have an assembly facility in Ontario, California where we assemble the Ubiquitor from parts sourced predominantly in the United States. Our quantum light meters and handheld sensors are also manufactured in our Ontario, California facility.

Key Competitive Advantages and Opportunities and Strengths

Across the world, everyday internet connected devices are getting incorporated in tandem, including thermostats, water meters, home alarms, kitchen gadgets, medical equipment, factory machinery and even vehicles. Collectively, this ecosystem represents the next frontier in the digital revolution. Unlike the simple automation of machinery, IoT is mobile and virtual, and features continuous Internet connectivity. IoT can help companies increase productivity, cut costs, offer new products and services, and deploy new business models.

Despite this forward technological momentum, a sector-wide study conducted by Cisco showed that 60 percent of IoT initiatives stalled at the very-early Proof of Concept (PoC) stage and only 26% of companies have had an IoT initiative that they considered a complete success. Herein lies both the key advantage of the platforms of the Company and its opportunities and strengths. Our combined platforms are able to eliminate redundant work and production costs in the early-stage development in the IoT sector, whereby project developers do not need to begin from scratch each time they develop a new IoT product, eliminating a significant part of their workload.

Competitors

Sensor Node Industry

There are several competitors we have identified in the sensor node industry, including traditional instruments or devices manufacturers such as Hanna Instruments or Extech Instruments.

Hach developed and launched the SC1000 Multi-parameter Universal Controller, a probe module for connecting to 32 digital sensors or analyzers. However, their products are not compatible with smart phones yet; and we believe their price point is still prohibitive to consumers.

Monnit Corporation offers a range of wireless and remote sensors. Many of Monnit’s products are web-based wireless sensors that usually are not portable because of their power consumption. Also, the sensors’ real-time updates are slow; and we believe security of the web-based sensor data acquisition may be a concern. In addition to purchasing the device, consumers usually have to pay a monthly fee for using web-based services.

IoT Installation Industry

There are several companies that compete with AVX in smart home installations, including Vivint Smart Home, Crestron and Control4. However, we believe we can distinguish ourselves from our competitors by offering a substantially lower price. An installation by Crestron ranges between $20,000 and $100,000 and by Control4 between $20,000 and $40,000. The cheapest competitor we can identify in this sector is Vivint Smart Home, which costs less than $5,000 to install; however, we understand that the Vivint Smart Home focuses on security systems only and that users have no other smart applications, which our smart home product line would include.

Patent, Trademark, License and Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations and Concessions

On November 4, 2016, we filed a U.S. patent application number 15/344,041 with the USPTO. On March 5, 2018, we issued a press release announcing that the USPTO had issued an Issue Notification for U.S. Patent Application No. 9924295 entitled “Universal Smart Device,” which covers a patent application regarding the Company’s Ubiquitor. The patent was granted on March 20, 2018.

After our internal research and development efforts, we filed with the USPTO on June 2, 2017, a patent application regarding a process for improving the spectral response curve of a photo sensor. We believe that the small and cost-effective multicolor sensor and its related software protected by the patent could achieve a spectral response that approximates an ideal photo response to measure optical measurement. The patent was issued on February 26, 2019.

On November 29, 2019, the Company filed an international utility patent application through the patent cooperation treaty as application PCT/US2019/63880, titled “System and Method of Power Line Communication.” In April 2020, the Company was notified that it received a favorable international search report from the International Searching Authority regarding this patent application, which patents the Company’s PLC technology. The World International Property Organization report cited only three category “A” documents, indicating that the Company’s application met both the novelty and non-obviousness patentability requirements. The Company has since obtained two patents based on this patent application—U.S. Patent Nos. 11546017 and 11984942, issued January 3, 2023 and May 14, 2024, respectively. Consequently, the Company is optimistic that the patent covering the claims for its PLC technology will be issued in due course and will allow the Company to implement strong protections on the PLC technology worldwide.

On May 19, 2021, we filed thirteen provisional patent applications with the USPTO that we had been researching and developing for years, encompassing a broad spectrum of technology areas including sensor technology, wired and wireless communications, power line communications, computer security, software solutions, interconnected technological communications, smart home systems and methods for both home and hydroponic areas, dynamic password cipher, local file security, payment card security, infrared sensor, and a method and apparatus for high data rate transmission.

In addition, the Company’s patent number 11,488,468 was allowed and subsequently issued on November 1, 2022. The patent, titled Sensor for Detecting the Proximity of an IEEE 802.11 Protocol Connectable Device.

On April 3, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued an Issue Notification for U.S. Patent No. 11580558 entitled “Dynamic Anti-Counterfeit System and Method.” The USPTO also issued an Issue Notification for U.S. Patent Application No. 11546017 entitled “System and Method of Power Line Communication.” Both patents cover patent applications regarding the Company’s PLC business.

In 2024, we retained the law firm of Dority & Manning, P.A. to serve as outside intellectual property counsel for the Company. With the help of Dority & Manning, we are maintaining existing patent rights and have improved the sustainability of our patent portfolio by filing omnibus continuation-in-part applications to maintain intellectual property rights where possible. We filed 3 patents in 2023, and 4 patents in 2024, which would all be classified as omni-bus patents encompassing more patents consolidating the patent portfolio into a more manageable size in order to reduce budget.

Research and Development Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we spent a total of $919,965 on research and development activities; and for the year ended December 31, 2024, we spent a total of $1,381,937. A significant portion of our research and development activities are conducted in China by Focus Shenzhen.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that impact issues specific to our business.

Employees

As of the date of this report we have a total of 37 full-time employees. We do not have any part-time employees. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary is Dr. Desheng Wang, and our Chief Financial Officer is Irving Kau. We have 29 full-time electrical and computer engineers (and engineering management staff) working on the research and development of our products. We have six full-time marketing employees and three full-time employees are working on administrative tasks. We also have a full-time accounting manager/controller.

Reports to Securities Holders

We provide an annual report that includes audited financial information to our shareholders. We make our financial information equally available to any interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules for a small business issuer under the Exchange Act. We are subject to disclosure filing requirements including filing Form 10-K annually and Form 10-Q quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8-K and other proxy and information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend to voluntarily file the above reports in the event that our obligation to file such reports is suspended under the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549.

The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

We have a history of operating losses and going concern basis, and we may not be able to sustain profitability.

We were incorporated on December 4, 2012; and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,023,411. Our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has a net loss of $4,787,769 and $3,200,138 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31,023,411 and $25,782,308 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $5,102,771 and $4,656,754 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If we are not successful in growing revenues and controlling costs, we will not achieve profitable operations or positive cash flow, and even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

We require significant funding to develop, manufacture and market our Ubiquitor wireless sensor.

We may ultimately require up to $20 million to fund the development, manufacturing, assembly and marketing strategy for the Ubiquitor. Once we achieve this fund-raising goal, we intend to position ourselves in the small device market, establishing the price at below a few hundred dollars. Due to superior functionality and low price, we expect to capture this section of the market easily. Once our product and service mature, and the Company becomes better known, we believe we could gain market share in the high-end market. None of this will be possible if we fail to obtain the funding we require. There is no guarantee that additional funding can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

We depend on key personnel.

Our future success will depend in part on the continued service of key personnel, particularly, Desheng Wang, our Chief Executive Officer and Irving Kau, our Chief Financial Officer.

If any of our directors and officers choose to leave the company, we will face significant difficulties in attracting potential candidates for replacement of our key personnel due to our limited financial resources and operating history.

Regulatory actions could limit our ability to market and sell our products.

Many of our products and the industries in which they are used are subject to U.S. and foreign regulation. Government regulatory action could greatly reduce the market for our Ubiquitor device and for smart home installation. For example, the power line grid, which is the communications grid that could be used by some of our products, is subject to special regulations in North America, Europe and Japan. In general, these regulations limit the ability of companies such as ours to use power lines as a communication medium. In addition, some of our competitors have attempted or may attempt to use regulatory actions to reduce the market opportunity for our products or to increase the market opportunity for their own products.

We outsource our product manufacturing and are susceptible to problems in connection with procurement, decreasing quality, reliability and protectability.

We assemble our Ubiquitor devices by using fully manufactured parts, the manufacturing of which has been fully outsourced. We have no direct control over the manufacturing processes of our products. This lack of control may increase quality or reliability risks and could limit our ability to quickly increase or decrease production rates.

Our potential inability to adequately protect our intellectual property during the outsource manufacturing of n products in China could negatively impact our performance.

In connection with our manufacturing outsourcing arrangements, we rely on third-party manufacturers to implement customary manufacturer safeguards onsite, such as the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, to protect our proprietary information and technologies during the manufacturing process. However, these safeguards may not effectively prevent unauthorized use of such information and technical knowhow or prevent the manufacturers from retaining them. We face risks that our proprietary information may not be afforded the same protection in China as it is in countries with more comprehensive intellectual property laws, and local laws may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights in China, and failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property or trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position. If the third-party manufacturers of our proprietary products misappropriate our intellectual property, our business, prospects and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business operations in China may negatively affect our ability to protect our intellectual property and our financial position.

On December 31, 2021, we set up a branch office in mainland China. Historically, China has not protected intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States, and infringement of intellectual property rights continues to pose a serious risk of doing business in China. Monitoring and preventing unauthorized use is difficult. The measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights could harm our competitive advantages and business. Furthermore, the application of laws governing intellectual property rights in China is uncertain and evolving and could involve substantial risks to us. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may lose these rights and our business may suffer materially. Moreover, the complexities that arise from operating in a different tax jurisdiction inevitably led to an increased exposure to international taxation. Should review of our tax filings result in unfavorable adjustments, our operating results, cash flows, and financial position could be materially and adversely affected.

The size and future growth in the market for our Ubiquitor device or our PLC technology has not been established with precision and may be smaller than we estimate, possibly materially. If our estimates and projections overestimate the size of this market, our sales growth may be adversely affected.

Our estimates of the size and future growth in the market for our Ubiquitor device or our PLC technology is based on several internal studies, reports and estimates. In addition, our internal estimates are based on current feedback from clients using current generation technology and our belief is that the use and implementation of our technologies in the United States and worldwide will be extensive. While we believe we are using effective tools in estimating the total market for Ubiquitor device or our PLC technology, these estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting our estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. The actual demand for our products or competitive products, could differ materially from our projections if our assumptions are incorrect. As a result, our estimates of the size and future growth in the market for the Ubiquitor device or our PLC technology may prove to be incorrect. If the demand is smaller than we have estimated, it may impair our projected sales growth and have an adverse impact on our business.

If we are unable to properly forecast future demand of our products, our production levels may not meet demands, which could negatively impact our operating results.

Our ability to manage our inventory levels to meet our customer’s demand for our products is important for our business. Our production levels and inventory management are based on demand estimates six to twelve months forward considering supply lead times, production capacity, timing of shipments, and dealer inventory levels. If we overestimate or underestimate demand for any of our products during a given season, we may not maintain appropriate inventory levels, which could negatively impact our net sales or working capital, hinder our ability to meet customer demand, or cause us to incur excess and obsolete inventory charges.

Demand for our Ubiquitor product may be affected by new entrants who copy our products and/or infringe on our intellectual property.

The ability to protect and enforce intellectual property rights varies across jurisdictions. An inability to preserve our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our financial performance. Competitors and others may also initiate litigation to challenge the validity of our intellectual property or allege that we infringe their intellectual property. We may be required to pay substantial damages if it is determined our products infringe on their intellectual property. We may also be required to develop an alternative, non-infringing product that could be costly and time-consuming, or acquire a license on terms that are not favorable to us. Protecting or defending against such claims could significantly increase our costs, divert management’s time and attention away from other business matters, and otherwise adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Internal system or service failures, including as a result of cyber or other security incidents, could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information, and adversely impact our reputation, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our connected products potentially expose our business to cybersecurity threats.

Some of our products connect to the internet and potentially expose our business to cybersecurity threats. Global cybersecurity threats and incidents can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats directed at our products, our customers and/or our third-party service providers, including cloud providers. There has been an increase in the frequency and sophistication of cyber and other security threats we face, and our customers are increasingly requiring cyber and other security protections and standards in our products, and we may incur additional costs to comply with such demands.

The potential consequences of a material cyber, or other security incident include financial loss, reputational damage, negative media coverage, litigation with third parties, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our sensor segment is subject to risks associated with operations as we diversify away from a single dominant customer.

While in the past we were subject to volatility as a result of having only one dominant customer, diversification away from a single customer also poses some risks associated with the migration, While the company will possess more revenues streams, the migration away from a single steady customer poses risks as we begin to build new relationships. Along with new marketing efforts, we need to continue to cater to the needs of these new customers or the business may fluctuate or vanish.

Prices and availability for the electronic parts and plastics we need to assemble the Ubiquitor could fluctuate.

The principal raw materials that we use for our Ubiquitor device are standard industrial electronics parts and plastics that are generally easily available through a variety of U.S. domestic and foreign manufacturers. Such raw materials can experience price fluctuations due to a variety of factors, such as tariffs, import/export fees and delays, and availability. If there is scarcity, then larger competitors could be given purchasing priority with major suppliers that could make it so smaller companies like us experience volatility in costs and/or availability issues. We expect added volatility as new import tariffs may be imposed on imports from China, Mexico and Canada. Because this is a recent development, we have not been able to fully assess this risk or its effects in the manufacturing and import of our products. Also, since we have not yet manufactured in large numbers, our management team might not have the expertise to mitigate such price fluctuations or availability concerns. Thus, suppliers could stop selling to us because of demand. Even though it is possible to find alternative suppliers, changing to new suppliers could delay production and affect the quality of certain products, and there is no guarantee that new tariffs will not be levied upon goods imported from such new suppliers.

Changes in tariffs, import or export restrictions, Chinese regulations or other trade barriers may reduce gross margins.

We currently source products from manufacturers in China, including digital, analog, and quantum light meters and certain components for our Ubiquitor device. Currently, the prices we offer to our U.S. customers are FOB (Free on Board) China. Only the cost of delivering the goods to the nearest port is included and the customer is responsible for the shipping from China and responsible for all other fees, including tariffs, associated with delivering the goods to the ultimate destination. If our customers changes the term to CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) United States, then we would be responsible for the shipping costs and the tariff costs, which may reduce our gross margin, specially now that new tariffs may be imposed on goods imported from China. Thus, we may incur increases in costs due to changes in tariffs, import or export restrictions, other trade barriers, or unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, any of which could reduce our gross margins. Moreover, volatile economic conditions may impact the ability of our suppliers to make timely deliveries; and if a supplier fails to make a delivery, there is no guarantee that we will be able to timely locate an alternative supplier of comparable quality at an acceptable price.

Since the beginning of 2025, the U.S. has taken executive orders to increase tariffs against imports from Chinese, Mexican and Canadian goods, but it is difficult to determine at this time if more tariffs will be imposed on goods imported from other countries. It is difficult to anticipate the impact on our business caused by the increased tariffs or whether additional changes in tariffs will materialize in the future. Given the relatively fluid regulatory environment in China and the United States, there could be additional tax, tariffs, or other regulatory changes in the future, and China could retaliate against the tariffs recently imposed by the U.S. Any such changes could directly and materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our failure to respond to rapid change in the technology markets could cause us to lose revenue and harm our competitive position.

Our future success will depend significantly on our ability to develop and market new products that keep pace with technological developments and evolving industry standards for technology. We are currently developing products, including our Ubiquitor device, universal smart monitors, and controllers, distributed shared universal smart home products, and smart products for the gardening industry, for MacOS, PC, as well as mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS, that transmit data over Wi-Fi signals, cellular signals, Bluetooth, certain power line systems, traditional wired systems, and other radio frequency systems that enable data transmission. Our delay or failure to develop or acquire technological improvements, adapt our products to technological changes or provide technology that appeals to our customers may cause us to lose customers and may prevent us from generating revenue which could ultimately cause us to cease operations.

Our business depends on our ability to keep manufacturing costs low; and we may lack the expertise necessary to negotiate and maintain favorable pricing, supply, business and credit terms with our potential vendors.

It may be difficult to negotiate or maintain favorable pricing, supply, business or credit terms with our potential vendors, suppliers and service providers. In addition, product manufacturing costs may increase if we fail to achieve anticipated volumes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage these risks. In summary, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain a sufficient (but not excess) supply of products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our failure to do so would lead to a material adverse impact on our business.

Since wireless networks are susceptible to interference and other limitations, and one advantage of our Ubiquitor device and our USIP platform is that it can connect to wireless networks as one way to transmit data, wireless network limitations may reduce the competitive advantage of the Ubiquitor and USIP platform in the marketplace.

Our Ubiquitor and USIP platform relies on both wired and wireless networks to transmit data, which is a major advantage of the Ubiquitor device and the USIP platform. Wireless networks allow multiple users to access large amounts of information without the hassle of running wires to and from each IoT device. However, wireless networks have technological limitations and there are several disadvantages that our Ubiquitor device may face when using a wireless network. Wireless networks are typically expensive; it can cost up to four times more to set up a wireless network than to set up a wired network. The range of a wireless network is limited, and a typical wireless router will only allow individuals located within 150 to 300 feet to access the network. Wireless networks are extremely susceptible to interference from radio signals, radiation, and other similar types of interference. Such interference may cause a wireless network to malfunction. Wireless networks can be accessed by any IoT device within range of the network’s signal so information transmitted through the network (including encrypted information) may be intercepted by unauthorized users. Wireless networks are typically slower than wired networks, sometimes even up to 10 times slower. Walls and floors can seriously limit the range of your wireless network. Since wireless networks have severe limitations, these limitations may reduce the competitive advantage that the Ubiquitor provides in the marketplace which might prevent widespread adoption.

Demand for our products is uncertain and depends on our currently unproven ability to create and maintain superior performance.

Our future operating results will depend upon our ability to provide our products or services and to operate profitably in an industry characterized by intense competition, rapid technological advances, and low margins. This, in turn, will depend on several factors, including:

• Our ability to generate significant sales and profit margin from the Ubiquitor device;
• Worldwide market conditions and demand for sensor devices and other products we may continue to add as we move forward;
• Our success in meeting targeted availability dates for our products and services;
• Our ability to develop and commercialize new intellectual property and to protect existing intellectual property;
• Our ability to maintain profitable relationships with our distributors, retailers and other resellers;
• Our ability to maintain an appropriate cost structure;

20

• Our ability to attract and retain competent, motivated employees;
• Our ability to comply with applicable legal requirements throughout the world; and
• Our ability to successfully manage litigation, including enforcing our rights, protecting our interests, and defending claims made against us.

These factors are difficult to manage, satisfy and influence and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to generate significant demand for and sales of our products.

The Ubiquitor device could fail to gain traction in the marketplace for several reasons that would adversely impact our financial results and cause our investors to lose money.

Future rollout of the Ubiquitor entail numerous risks such as:

• Any lack of market acceptance of the Ubiquitor;
• Failure to maintain acceptable arrangements with product suppliers, particularly considering lower than anticipated volumes;
• Manufacturing, technical, supplier, or quality-related delays, issues, or concerns, including the loss of any key supplier or failure of any key supplier to deliver high quality products on time;
• Competition;
• Potential declines in demand for sensor devices; and
• Risks that third parties may assert intellectual property claims against our products.

To compete successfully, we must accurately forecast demand, closely monitor inventory levels, secure quality products, continuously drive down costs, meet aggressive product price and performance targets, create market demand for our brand and hold sufficient, but not excess, inventory.

Our Ubiquitor device greatly depends on the growth and adoption of the IoT market, and other next-generation internet and smartphone-based applications.

The Internet may ultimately prove not to be a viable commercial marketplace for IoT applications for several reasons, including:

• unwillingness of consumers to shift to and use other such next-generation Internet-based, smartphone-assisted applications;
• refusal to purchase our products and services;
• perception by end-users with respect to the quality of our wireless sensors in an industry historically dominated by wired sensors; competition;
• inadequate development of smartphone infrastructure to keep pace with increased levels of use; and
• increased government regulations in a relatively unregulated marketplace.

21

There is a risk that the market will not adapt to using the smartphone readout as a substitute platform for sensor devices, causing our products to fail in the marketplace.

Most products on the small sensor device market do not currently use smartphones to collect and analyze sensor data. There is no guarantee that using smartphone technology will cut production costs and be well received. If our USIP using smartphone technology is not well received, there is a risk that device manufacturers will develop new monitoring and operating components that are incompatible with our current platform instead of developing the traditional sensors that are compatible with our technology. Updating our platform to stay compatible with new components could increase our costs unexpectedly.

Using wireless transmission technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth may create security risks.

There is also a risk of failure based on the wireless transmission of data used by our smartphone platform. If there is instability in a wireless network, Bluetooth sensor, or other network problems that are out of our control, our new platform may not be well received. Our smartphone platform relies on the wireless transmission of data through Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth sensors. These networks are often deemed less secure than a hard-wired network. The security of a wireless network is often out of our control. However, any breach of security could result in the market and sensor device manufacturers to fail to embrace our platform.

Our business involves the use, transmission and storage of confidential information, and the failure to properly safeguard such information could result in significant reputational harm.

We may at times collect, store, and transmit information of, or on behalf of, our clients that may include certain types of confidential information that may be considered personal or sensitive, and that are subject to laws that apply to data breaches. We believe that we take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity, and confidentiality of the information we collect and store, but there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure will not occur or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information despite our efforts to protect this information, including through a cyber-attack that circumvents existing security measures and compromises the data that we store. If such unauthorized disclosure or access does occur, we may be required to notify persons whose information was disclosed or accessed. Most states have enacted data breach notification laws and, in addition to federal laws that apply to certain types of information, such as financial information, federal legislation has been proposed that would establish broader federal obligations with respect to data breaches. We may also be subject to claims for breach of contract for such unauthorized disclosure or access, investigation and penalties by regulatory authorities and potential claims by persons whose information was disclosed. The unauthorized disclosure of information, or a cyber-security incident involving data that we store, may result in the termination of one or more of our commercial relationships or a reduction in client confidence and usage of our services. We may also be subject to litigation alleging the improper use, transmission, or storage of confidential information, which could damage our reputation among our current and potential clients and cause us to lose business and revenue.

Product liability associated with the production, marketing, and sale of our products, and/or the expense of defending against claims of product liability, could materially deplete our assets and generate negative publicity which could impair our reputation.

The production, marketing and sale of digital products have inherent risks of liability in the event of product failure or claim of harm caused by product operation. Furthermore, even meritless claims of product liability may be costly to defend against. We do not currently have product liability insurance for our products. We may not be able to obtain this insurance on acceptable terms or at all. Because we may not be able to obtain insurance that provides us with adequate protection against all or even some potential product liability claims, a successful claim against us could materially deplete our assets. Moreover, even if we can obtain adequate insurance, any claim against us could generate negative publicity, which could impair our reputation and adversely affect the demand for our products, our ability to generate sales and our profitability. For the products we sell in the U.S., we also do not carry product liability insurance. It is our management’s position that these handheld battery-operated products do not carry substantial product liability risk and to the extent there are any product liability risks, such risks are born by the distributor, who does carry product liability insurance coverage for the products we provide to them, and they sell to their customers. However, it is possible that we could face liability in a products liability lawsuit for manufacturing defects or defective design since we design or manufacture the products sold by certain U.S. distributors.

Some of the agreements that we may enter with manufacturers or distributors of our products and components of our products may require us:

• to obtain product liability insurance; or
• to indemnify manufacturers against liabilities resulting from the sale of our products.

If we are not able to obtain and maintain adequate product liability insurance, then we could be in breach of these agreements, which could materially adversely affect our ability to produce our products and generate revenues. Even if we can obtain and maintain product liability insurance, if a successful claim in excess of our insurance coverage is made, then we may have to indemnify some or all of our manufacturers or distributors for their losses, which could materially deplete our assets.

We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition targets or otherwise successfully implement a growth strategy reliant on mergers and acquisitions.

To expand our business, we hope to pursue mergers and acquisitions to acquire new or complementary businesses, services or technologies. We expect to continue evaluating potential strategic acquisitions of businesses, services, and technologies. However, we may not be able to identify suitable candidates, negotiate appropriate or favorable acquisition terms, obtain financing that may be needed to consummate such transactions or complete proposed acquisitions. Any such future mergers and acquisitions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in acquisitions of companies, including, among other things, the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies; the potential disruption of the Company’s ongoing business; the inability of management to incorporate successfully acquired technology and rights into the Company’s services and product offerings; additional expense associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets; the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; and the potential impairment of relationships with employees, customers and strategic partners.

Our growth strategy includes licensing our intellectual property, and we run the risk that a licensee could become a competitor.

As part of our growth strategy, we anticipate licensing our intellectual property. Licensing our intellectual property could potentially damage our business if a licensee becomes a competitor, especially once the statutory rights to our intellectual property have expired or the licensing arrangement with a licensee has terminated. A licensee could develop modifications of our intellectual property and choose to compete with us in the marketplace. Litigation may be necessary to protect our rights to our intellectual property. Even if we are successful, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our management team. If we are not successful, we could lose valuable intellectual property rights.

Product defects could result in costly fixes, litigation, and damages.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, and sale of our products. If there are claims related to defective products (under warranty or otherwise), particularly in a product recall situation, we could be faced with significant expenses in replacing or repairing the product. For example, our Ubiquitor devices obtain raw materials, machined parts and other product components from suppliers who provide certifications of quality which we rely on. Should these product components be defective and pass undetected into finished products, or should a finished product contain a defect, we could incur significant costs for repairs, re-work and/or removal and replacement of the defective product. In addition, if a dispute over product claims cannot be settled, arbitration or litigation may result, requiring us to incur attorneys’ fees and exposing us to the potential of damage awards against us.

Only two officers have public company experience on our management team which could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws.

Amongst our officers, only Dr. Desheng Wang, our CEO, and Irving Kau, our CFO, have public company experience. Our CEO and CFO are ultimately responsible for complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our Company.

Some of our officers, directors, consultants, and advisors are involved in other businesses and not obligated to commit their time and attention exclusively to our business and therefore they may encounter conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation of time and business opportunities between our operations and those of other businesses.

Another example of a conflict of interest are so called “self-dealing” transactions. If a conflict-of-interest transaction is negotiated and approved, in a manner that approximates arms-length negotiations, the transaction is accepted unless a shareholder proves in court that the transaction is not entirely fair to the company or its shareholders. The burden is on the shareholder to show lack of entire fairness. A self-dealing transaction is considered invalid if challenged, unless the interested director proves in court that the transaction is entirely fair to the Company. The burden is on the director to show entire fairness.

If, because of these conflicts, we may be deprived of business opportunities or information, the execution of our business plan and our ability to effectively compete in the marketplace may be adversely affected. If our audit committee becomes aware of such conflict of interests, we will take an immediate action to resolve it. Each conflict of interest will be handled by the Company based on the nature of the conflict and the individual involved in it.

We are not aware of any current or potential conflict of interests with our consultants or advisors.

We have concluded that we have not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting through the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in our internal control could have material adverse effects on us.

It is important for us to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely manner.

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information. If we are unsuccessful in implementing or following our remediation plan, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information timely and accurately or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects.

Our executive officers and directors collectively have the power to control our management and operations and have a significant majority in voting power on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company.

Our CEO, Dr. Desheng Wang, owns approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this report. Our executive officers, directors, and 5% stockholders together own 39.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, our directors have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.

Management currently beneficially owns most of our outstanding common stock. Consequently, management can influence control of the operations of the Company and, acting together, will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including:

• Election of our board of directors;
• Removal of directors;
• Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; and
• Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination.

These stockholders have complete control over our affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for the common stock.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Members of our Board of Directors are inexperienced with U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.

We are a smaller reporting company with limited resources. Therefore, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company has deficiencies over financial statements in areas of recording revenue and expenses in proper cut off as well as proper classification of accounts. For these reasons, we are considering the costs and benefits associated with improving and documenting our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and procedures, which includes (i) hiring additional personnel with sufficient U.S. GAAP experience and (ii) implementing ongoing training in U.S. GAAP requirements for our CFO and accounting and other finance personnel. If the result of these efforts are not successful, or if material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management.

We are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements is time-consuming and may result in increased costs to us and could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or SOX. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. SOX requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources.

These activities may divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. 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. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board of Directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

Risks Related to the Ownership of our Common Stock

Our common stock is subordinated to our preferred stock.

As described in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock rank senior to shares of Common Stock, with respect to rights on the distribution of assets in any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolutions or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

Starting on January 19, 2026, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the holder of such shares option.

Beginning on January 19, 2026, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Series B holder’s option during certain periods over two (2) years. Redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock would result in the Company to meet such redemption obligations in cash or by finding a third party to purchase such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. No assurances can be given that we will have the funds available in the event a holder of Series B Preferred Stock elects to exercise the redemption rights nor that any third party will be willing to purchase such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Our ability to meet such redemption obligations will depend on our earnings and cash flow. Furthermore, in the event of a redemption, the Company’s requirement to meet such redemption obligations could reduce funds available to further our business and business strategy. On January 19, 2026, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock provided the Company with Redemption Notices requesting the Company to redeem all of their outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. While the allotted time period for redemption (20 days), has passed, the Company and the Series B Holders remain engaged in negotiations to find an amicable solution. On February 19,2026, the Series B investors sent a redemption demand letter for 3,716 outstanding Series B Preferred shares, totaling $3,158,600. This demand letter was subsequently rescinded by the Series B holders while the Series B holders and management attempted to negotiate a settlement. On March 17, 2026, after the parties could not negotiate a successful settlement, the Series B investors renewed their redemption requests by emailing Company management a notice of default. The Company has engaged external advisors to assist in discussions with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine the most appropriate resolution that maximizes value for all stockholders, including the Series B shareholders.

Our shares may be affected by short selling practices which may decrease the stock price.

The Company believes that certain individuals and/or companies may have engaged in manipulative and/or suspected illegal trading practices that may artificially depress our share price. There is great concern in today’s market environment regarding the potential targeting of publicly traded companies in a market manipulation scheme involving illegal naked short selling of stock. The Company finds such suspected manipulation completely unacceptable as it distorts the value of the Company and negatively impacts shareholders who have invested their hard-earned money. We are considering engaging third party service providers to further investigate these practices by aggregating and analyzing repository data from reporting entities, broker-dealers and shareholders enabling us to proactively track shareholder ownership, identify parties involved in suspicious, aberrant, or unusual trading activity and deploy corrective action steps to help curtail such activity.

The SEC and other regulatory and self-regulatory authorities have implemented various rules and taken certain actions, and may in the future adopt additional rules, and take other actions, that may impact those engaging in short selling activity involving equity securities (including our common stock). Such rules and actions include Rule 201 of SEC Regulation SHO, the adoption by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the national securities exchanges of a “Limit Up-Limit Down” program, the imposition of market-wide circuit breakers that halt trading of securities for certain periods following specific market declines, and the implementation of certain regulatory reforms required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Any governmental or regulatory action that restricts the ability of investors to effect short sales of our common stock, borrow our common stock or enter into swaps on our common stock could adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of our shares.

An increase of free trading shares of our common stock could result in substantial sales of common stock on the open market which could cause our stock price to fall substantially.

As of March 25, 2026, we had 561,765 freely trading shares, after the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 10 to 1 reverse stock split. Any increase in freely trading shares, or the perception that such shares will or could come onto the market could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of these shares, or the availability of such shares for sale, will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities or impair our shareholders’ ability to sell on the open market.

You could be diluted from our future issuance of capital stock and derivative securities.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 915,097 shares of common stock outstanding and 7,263 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. To the extent of such authorization, our Board of Directors will have the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional common stock or preferred stock in the future may reduce a shareholder’s proportionate ownership and voting power.

Substantial future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.

Sales of substantial shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares.

In the future, we may issue our securities if we need to raise capital in connection with a capital raise or acquisitions. The number of shares of our common stock issued in connection with a capital raise or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock and have a dilutive effect on our shareholders which could have a material negative effect on our stock price.

Future sales of our common stock by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing stockholders sell substantial shares of our common stock in the public market, then the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our stockholders might sell shares of common stock also could depress the market price of our common stock. There are approximately 915,097 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately 480,006 shares are freely tradable.

Certain existing holders of most of our common stock have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other shareholders. If the sale of these shares are registered, they will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. In the event such registration rights are exercised, and many shares of common stock are sold in the public market, such sales could reduce the trading price of our common stock.

A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

We do not intend to pay dividends and there will be less ways in which you can make a gain on any investment in Focus Universal Inc.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may likely prohibit the payment of a cash dividend. Because we do not intend to declare cash dividends, any gain on an investment in Focus Universal Inc. will need to come through appreciation of the stock’s price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain of our shareholders could cause our stock price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock, and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock.

An active trading market for our common stock may not be maintained.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FCUV,” but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to maintain an active trading market on this or any other exchange in the future. A lack of an active market may impair the ability of our stockholders to sell shares at the time they wish to sell or at a price that they consider favorable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to use common stock as consideration to attract and retain talent or engage in business transactions (including mergers and acquisitions). As previously reported, the Company has met the continued listing requirements for Nasdaq Capital Market by submitting a transfer application from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Capital Market and providing written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Company was provided a second compliance period of 180 calendar days or until March 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive days then this matter should be closed with respect to the Bid Price Rule.

On February 9, 2026, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock on a 1-for-10 basis. No adjustment was made to the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock.

We may not be able to maintain the continued NASDAQ listing standards.

NASDAQ requires companies to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed. There is no guarantee that our common stock will maintain NASDAQ continued listing standards and we may be delisted. If our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, our shareholders could find it difficult to sell their common stock.

As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) that said our Market Value of Listed Securities had fallen below $35,000,000, and therefore, we no longer satisfy the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. If at any time before the Compliance Date, the Company’s MVLS closes at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, then this matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the Compliance Date, the Company will receive notification from the Staff that its securities are subject to delisting.

As previously disclosed, on December 22, 2025, the Company received a conditional compliance letter from the Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that based on the Company’s disclosure on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2025, through which the Company discloses its belief of meeting the requirement of maintaining the minimum $2,500,000 in Stockholders’ equity, the Staff has determined that the Company complies with the MVLS Rule. However, the Staff provides that if the Company fails to provide evidence of compliance upon filing its next periodic report, the Company may be subject to delisting.

If the shares of our common stock were to be delisted from NASDAQ, we expect that it would be traded on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplaces, which are unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ or other national securities exchanges. Thus, a delisting from NASDAQ may have a material adverse effect on the trading and price of our common stock.

If we are unable to maintain compliance with NASDAQ continued listing standards, including maintenance of at least $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity and maintenance of a $1.00 minimum bid price, our common stock may be delisted from NASDAQ.

There can be no assurances that we will be able to maintain our NASDAQ listing in the future. In the event we are unable to maintain compliance with NASDAQ continued listing standards and our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, it could likely lead to a number of negative implications, including an adverse effect on the price of our common stock, reduced liquidity in our common stock, the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws and greater difficulty in obtaining financing. In the event of a delisting, we would take actions to restore our compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements.

Risks Related to AVX

Increasing competition within our industry could have an impact on our business prospects.

The IoT market is a growing industry where new competitors are entering the market frequently. These competing companies may have significantly greater financial and other resources than we have and may have been developing their products and services longer than we have been developing ours. Although our portfolio of products and related revenue stream sources are broad, increasing competition may have a negative impact on our profit margins.

The success of our smart home installation business will depend upon the efforts of management of our subsidiary AVX.

We can offer no assurance that we will be able to retain or effectively recruit new additional personnel. The departure of any key members of AVX’s management team could make it more difficult to operate AVX. Moreover, to the extent that we will rely upon their management team to operate AVX, we will be subject to risks regarding their managerial competence. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct and that they will have the skills, abilities, and qualifications we expect.

If we are unable to integrate the Ubiquitor device into the smart home installation business, we may not be able to distinguish ourselves in the segment and that could negatively affect our ability to operate in the competitive smart home installation industry.

The smart home installation business is a highly competitive market, and we have numerous competitors who are already well-established in the market. We expect our competitors to continue improving the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products that could be competitive in both price and performance. The reason we believe that we could become competitive in this market segment is because we anticipate integrating the Ubiquitor device, and our platforms into AVX’s smart home installations. However, there is no guarantee that we can integrate the Ubiquitor device into AVX’s smart home installations. If we are unable to integrate the Ubiquitor device into smart home installations, we will not be able to achieve the competitive price and performance we anticipate achieving success. Alternatively, we may not be able to achieve a smart home installation at a cost-effective price that is sufficient to distinguish us from amongst the competition in this market segment.

Risk Management and Strategy

We have implemented a cybersecurity process that is designed to assess, identify, manage and govern material risks from cybersecurity threats and requires a firewall for outside connections. We operate a closed server in a locked room and regularly examine cybersecurity threats that could compromise our information system’s security or data and otherwise maintain our cybersecurity policies and procedures in accordance with industry standard control frameworks and applicable regulations, laws, and standards.

We regularly check and improve our security measures and educate our employees about such measures with the help of our information technology (IT) team. Key personnel are made aware of our cybersecurity process through trainings.

We do not engage third party professionals or disclose our internal security measures to private parties.

We have never experienced a cybersecurity incident that was determined to be material, although, like many technology-dependent companies operating in the current environment, we have experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past. For additional information regarding whether any risks from cybersecurity threats are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, please see the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Governance

One of the key functions of our board of directors, in connection with our IT team, is informed oversight of our risk management process, which includes risks from cybersecurity threats. Our board of directors monitors and assesses strategic risk exposure, and our executive officers manage the material risks we face.

Our board of directors manages our cybersecurity policies and processes, including those described in the “Risk Management and Strategy” section above. Together, they stay informed and manage how we identify, address, prevent and resolve cybersecurity issues and related matters. They also track how we prevent, identify, lessen, and address cybersecurity issues. This is done through checks of our systems, tests to identify security weaknesses, and encouraging management to maintain an incident response plan.

We currently lease our offices located at 1515 W. Cameron Avenue, Ste. 210 West Covina, CA 91790 on a month-to-month basis. The property consists of commercial offices with a total office area of 3,546 square feet.

Focus Universal (Shenzhen) Technology Co. LTD entered into two separate thirty-six-month commercial leases with a third party for office spaces of approximately 2,017 and 3,449 square feet. These two leases ended in January and February 2026, respectively. In January 2026, Focus Universal (Shenzhen) Technology Co. LTD entered into another two separate thirty-six-month commercial lease with a third party for office space of approximately 3,700 and 4,230 square feet.

On January 21, 2026, we entered into a purchase, sale, and escrow agreement with 901 Corporate Center, LP to acquire a 100,743 sq. ft. office and commercial building, along with a four-level parking structure, located in Monterey Park, California.

On or about April 13, 2020, Ian Patterson, the Chief Operations Officer of AVX resigned from his position. On May 5, 2020, Mr. Patterson filed an action in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, against the company, et al. The complaint alleges claims including discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation and various other provisions of the California Labor Code, and various other claims under California state law. The complaint seeks unspecified economic and non-economic losses, as well as attorneys’ fees. On August 29, 2025, the Company and Former COO entered into a confidential settlement agreement which concluded this matter and releases all claims against the Company. This settlement has been accounted for in these financial statements and is scheduled to be executed and concluded in early August.

Similarly, on or about April 14, 2020, Devesa Sarria, the Sales and Marketing Director, was terminated. On May 13, 2020, she filed an action in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, State of California. The Complaint alleges claims including discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation and various other provisions of the California Labor Code, and various other claims under California state law. On August 29, 2025, the Company and Former Sales and Marketing Director entered into a confidential settlement agreement which concluded this matter and releases all claims against the Company. This settlement has been accounted for in these financial statements and this is scheduled to be executed and concluded in early August as well. The conclusion on these two related matters would mark the conclusion of all legal matters with respect to Focus Universal Inc.

On August 26, 2024, a former software engineer filed an action against Perfecular Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in the Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino, State of California alleging wrongful termination and other violations of the California Labor Code. This case was settled for $130,000 plus legal fees, and its impact recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has EPLI insurance with a deductible amount of $100,000. During the quarter, Focus Universal settled and this matter was finally executed and concluded on April 25, 2025.

On October 28, 2024, MGR Real Estate, Inc. a California corporation, filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Bernardino, against the Company. The complaint alleges a variety of things including breach of contract and declaratory relief. The complaint is in connection with a listing agreement executed between the Company and the plaintiff, which plaintiff alleges gave it exclusive rights to list and sale the property located at 2311 E. Locust St., Ontario, CA 91761 (the “Premises”). The complaint seeks damages in a minimum amount of $373,025, plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum. On April 10, 2025, the Company, Mr. Kau, and MGR Real Estate, Inc. entered into a confidential settlement agreement which concluded this matter and releases all claims against the Company. This reduced impact has been accounted for in these financial statements.

On January 19, 2026, the Company received requests for redemption (the “Redemption Notices”) from the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock, as amended, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company, to redeem all or less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. From the date the Company receives the Redemption Notice, the Company had 20 trading days (the “Time Period”) to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth in the notice for a price equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to such redemption. Since the Company has received the Redemption Notice, the Time Period the Company had to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock has since lapsed. As provided in the Certificate of Designation, with respect to redemption, the Company must comply with Nevada state law which prohibits certain distributions or redemptions. Therefore, management of the Company took the position that under Nevada state law, the Series B Transaction documents do not require the Company to redeem the Series B holders under the specific conditions demanded by the investors. As of March 16, 2026, a total of 6,447 shares of Series B Preferred Stock or an aggregate of $5,479,950 remain subject to redemption. On February 19, 2026, the Series B investors sent a redemption demand letter for 3,716 outstanding Series B Preferred shares, totaling $3,158,600. This demand letter was subsequently rescinded by the Series B holders while the Series B holders and management attempted to negotiate a settlement. On March 17, 2026, after the parties could not successfully negotiate a settlement, the Series B investors renewed their redemption requests by emailing Company management a notice of default. The Company has engaged external advisors to assist in discussions with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine the most appropriate resolution that maximizes value for all stockholders, including the Series B shareholders. In addition, management is actively working to identify potential buyers to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock from holders seeking redemption on mutually acceptable terms.

Focus Universal Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), has developed the five proprietary platform technologies described in the Business Section, starting on page 1. These are: (1) device on a chip; (2) universal smart instrumentation platform (“USIP”); (3) 5G ultra-narrowband technology; (4) ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”) technology; and (5) our financial reporting software.

In an effort to continually develop our product lines, we plan to phase out the traditional, lower-margin products, such as the first-generation digital light meter, and are preparing to launch a new line of products that have been in development for several years. These newer technology products will be released in phases, and we intend that increasing amounts of technology will be layered upon these products. Additionally, we plan to continue to increase our efforts in protecting more intellectual property and have continued to develop technologies for long-term growth. We have developed products in both the controlled agriculture industry and home automation industries, taking advantage of our existing relationships in both sectors.

We are building a U.S.-based sales team to market our Smart AVX-branded product lines. The team has already begun marketing our current large format multimedia touch screens, surveillance camera system (cameras and network video recorders (NVRs)), indoor and outdoor LED screens, and Focus Universal-branded voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phone service systems for use in commercial and corporate settings.

Our products on the home automation front are beginning the production cycle. Of note, smart wall touch light switches, digital control smart wall touch light switches, smart timers, and smart controllers are ready for production. Sourcing of electronic parts for these products is completed, the cost analysis of these products is completed, and most of the tooling for production has been completed.

Currently, our Shenzhen subsidiary mainly focuses on product development and commercialization. An important electrode with a “Total Dissolved Solids” (“TDS”) meter design, with applications in all solubility measurements, was completed and approved by our U.S. management team. The designs of our TDS sensor, carbon dioxide sensor, new quantum PAR sensor and total dissolved oxygen sensors are also completed. Our testing against the state-of-the-art sensors on the market suggests to us that the new sensors are at least as good as the best quality sensors on the market. However, we believe that our sensors are much more cost effective.

Our financial software design team has also made significant progress during 2025 to our One Touch Financial software product. Having the mathematical and graphical environments created, our team is focused on developing an automated 3D user interface design. Our public reporting automation software is completed and currently undergoing extensive testing. We have developed a Microsoft®-based add-on software that aims to streamline and automate the financial reporting preparation process. We believe the software will significantly simplify the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K preparation processes and make creating, editing and managing documents both simple and accurate. We believe our financial software is ready to commercialize. A cloud-based version of this software is currently under the development.

We have completed an initial production run of prototype Ubiquitor devices and intend to proceed into full-scale production during 2025. During 2025, we presented the Ubiquitor at several trade shows including CES 2024 and 2025. The Ubiquitor’s sensor analytics system integrates event-monitoring, storage and analytics software in a cohesive package that provides a holistic view of the sensor data it is reading. The Ubiquitor was first showcased at the Consumer Technology Association’s CES 2024 trade show, which attracted significant interest from potential customers.

We have designed a full line of products for the gardening industry by integrating the Ubiquitor device into a gardening system. The system includes the Ubiquitor connected to a light control node, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, digital light sensor, quantum PAR sensor, pH sensor, total dissolved solids (“TDS”) sensor and carbon dioxide sensor. We believe the combination of the Ubiquitor with these sensors will offer the same features as a combination of dozens or even hundreds of different standalone instruments in the gardening industry.

We continue to build upon our existing research and development with the intention of inventing an ultra-narrowband PLC technology that attempts to tackle: 1) overcoming interference caused by electronic noise on the power line system; and 2) bandwidth. Preliminary internal testing suggests that we have achieved significant noise rejection and interference suppression. In our preliminary internal testing, we have been able to increase bandwidth to 4 megabits per second with the potential for more, while simultaneously effectively dealing with electrical noise and interference. Based on the promising results of our internal testing, we have begun designing a proprietary PLC microchip and have set an intended launch date for late 2025 or early 2026 pending further development work from the engineering department.

Two of our products are ready for commercialization. These are our financial reporting software, One Touch Financial, and universal smart technology for smart meters and automation. We are currently looking for distribution partners for both products.

On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase, sale, and escrow agreement with 901 Corporate Center, LP to acquire a 100,743 sq. ft. office and commercial building, along with a four-level parking structure, located in Monterey Park, California. While investment in a building is not a core business activity for the Company, the planned acquisition of a new office building does present the Company with a very low real estate expense, in addition to a conservative 9-10% cap rate with a desirable location and market, based on industry professional analysis. The additional cash flow shall be used to offset corporate and general costs while the company continues to expect the IoT and financial software divisions to be able to generate revenues soon to bear those associated expenses.

While currently, we do not believe that inflation will play a large role and have a large effect on our current business, as our business grows, inflation may play a larger role as our need to procure supplies increases and our borrowing requirements increase as well. As we begin to diversify away from a single sector and a single large customer, we also believe that our exposure to market volatility in that sector will be diminished significantly. We believe this should have a stabilizing effect on revenues. However, as our new products begin to reach maturity and completion, we do believe our exposure to our supply chain risk will increase with our need for consistently procuring inputs and raw materials. We believe supply chain disruption is the largest risk factor for our cash flow as production increases. For a greater description of our technologies, our business segments and the products we are currently selling, see “Part I – Item 1. Business” above.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024

Revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit

A summary of our revenue by product type for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Our consolidated gross revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $255,023 and $398,137, respectively. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $143,114 due to a lower number of sales in the current year. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $290,275, compared to $387,936 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in cost of revenue was due to higher cost of the LED materials for installation during this time period, though increases were somewhat nominal. This, combined with a decrease in gross profit (loss), brought the total to $(35,252) for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $10,201 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Operating Expenses

The major components of our operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are outlined in the table below:

37

Selling expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $60,289, compared to $100,189 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Selling expense incurred was mainly from third party advertising fees. The decrease of selling expense was due to a decrease in advertising fees and trade show expenses.

Compensation – officers and directors were $499,852 and $951,845 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in cost was a result in the decrease in the share price, resulting in a larger stock-based compensation for the directors associated.

Research and development costs were $919,965 and $1,381,937 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was due to software costs being capitalized in the current year.

Professional fees were $1,302,800 during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,660,590 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in these professional fees compared to the prior period was due to a decrease in legal fees for employment litigation defense.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2,075,107, compared to $2,115,891 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Overall, general and administrative expenses did not vary significantly between 2025 and 2024.

Cash Flows

The table below, for the periods indicated, provides selected cash flow information:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our net cash outflows from operating activities of $5,102,771 for the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily the result of our net loss of $4,787,769 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses, and operating activities from discontinued operations.

Our net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,656,754 for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily the result of our net loss of $3,200,138 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses, and operating activities from discontinued operations.

We expect that cash flows from operating activities may fluctuate in future periods because of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our net revenues and operating results, utilization of new revenue streams, collection of accounts receivable, and timing of billings and payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had cash outflow from investing activities of $185,760. That was primarily the result from the purchase of property and equipment of $28,106, and capitalized software costs of $157,654. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had cash inflow from investing activities of $7,127,121. That was primarily the result from the purchase of property and equipment of $18,687 and proceeds from sales of property of $7,145,808.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash inflows from financing activities of $9,648,113. That was primarily the result proceeds from sales of Series B Preferred Stock, net of $6,320,000, sales of Series A Preferred Stock issued for cash of $3,000,000, stock issued for placement agent $822,502, and purchases of treasury stock of $494,389.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash inflows from financing activities of $706,094. That was primarily the result proceeds from third party loan of $350,000, proceeds from related party loan of $1,101,000, repayment on related party loan of $2,101,000, repayment on third party loan of $350,000, common stock issued for placement agent $1,086,000, common stock issued for private placement of $1,290,000 and purchases of treasury stock of $669,906.

Going Concern

The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company has a net loss of $4,787,769 and $3,200,138 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31,023,411 and $25,782,308 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $5,102,771 and $4,656,754 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments, in the amount of $7,957,845. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Since inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through equity and debt financings, and it expects to continue to rely on these sources of capital in the future. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing, or grant unfavorable terms in future licensing agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation SK.

On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase, sale, and escrow agreement with 901 Corporate Center, LP to acquire a 100,743 sq. ft. office and commercial building, along with a four-level parking structure, located in Monterey Park, California. The purchase price is $17,700,000, with an escrow deposit of $525,000. The escrow was initially scheduled to close within sixty days of opening escrow. The $525,000 deposit was placed into the escrow account on January 26, 2026. Both parties have executed several amendments to extend the closing date from February to March 2026. Subsequently, on March 20, 2026, the parties entered into a fifth amendment extending the contingency period to April 10, 2026. At this point in time, the Company has made significant progress towards financing, however there is no assurance that the financing will be completed or that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

On January 19, 2026, the Company received requests for redemption (the “Redemption Notices”) from the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock, as amended, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company, to redeem all or less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. From the date the Company receives the Redemption Notice, the Company had 20 trading days (the “Time Period”) to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth in the notice for a price equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to such redemption. Since the Company has received the Redemption Notice, the Time Period the Company had to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock has since lapsed. As provided in the Certificate of Designation, with respect to redemption, the Company must comply with Nevada state law which prohibits certain distributions or redemptions. Therefore, management of the Company took the position that under Nevada law, the Series B Transaction documents do not require the Company to redeem the Series B holders under the specific conditions demanded by the investors. As of March 16, 2026, a total of 6,447 shares of Series B Preferred Stock or an aggregate of $5,479,950 remain subject to redemption. On February 19, 2026, the Series B investors sent a redemption demand letter for 3,716 outstanding Series B Preferred shares, totaling $3,158,600. This demand letter was subsequently rescinded by the Series B holders while the investors and management attempted to negotiate a settlement. On March 17, 2026, after the parties could not successfully negotiate a settlement, the Series B holders renewed their redemption requests by emailing Company management a notice of default. The Company has engaged external advisors to assist in discussions with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine the most appropriate resolution that maximizes value for all stockholders. In addition, management is actively working to identify potential buyers to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock from holders seeking redemption on mutually acceptable terms.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation Date”), concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As of December 31, 2025, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses:

• Due to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed.
• Due to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which do not have the ability to implement internal controls over the granting of access to our IT environment.
• As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on inexperienced staff and outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including tax preparation, which could require adjustments and lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. As a result, we had ineffective controls over our financial statement closing and reporting process.
• As a result of the Company’s limited financial and personnel resources, there may be difficulties in timely analyzing and identifying potential operational and disclosure transactions within management and to comply with financial reporting regulations.

We are working to remediate the deficiencies and material weaknesses. Our remediation efforts are ongoing, and we will continue our initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. We have taken steps to enhance our internal control environment and plan to take additional steps to remediate the deficiencies and address material weaknesses. In addition, we continue to evaluate, remediate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, executive management may elect to implement additional measures to address control deficiencies or may determine that the remediation efforts described above require modification. Executive management, in consultation with and at the direction of our Audit Committee, will continue to assess the control environment and the above-mentioned efforts to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material weaknesses.

Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we are unable, at this time to estimate how long it will take; and our efforts may not be successful in remediating the deficiencies or material weaknesses.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management’s report on internal control in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
