Item 6 – Executive Compensation
See our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 – Item 11.
Item 7 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
See above 8-K Disclosures – Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 for information about our share exchange with the stockholders of METech Recycling. Companies owned by Mr. Li were the majority stockholders of METech Recycling. The closing price of our common stock was $0.60 on April 16, 2025 published at OTCMarkets.com, or an aggregate price of our shares exchanged for the METech Recycling shares of $48,000,000. We are unable to determine if the price we paid in shares of our common stock for the METech Recycling is equivalent to the price we could have achieved in an arm’s length transaction.
See also, our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 – Item 13.
See above Form 10 Information – Item 3 for more information about our Roxboro, North Carolina facility we lease from from a landlord in which Mr. Li is the majority stockholder. We believe the lease payments and terms of the lease are in line with the surrounding market. You have no assurance the lease payments and terms equivalent to or better than the rent and terms we could achieve in an arm’s length transaction.
First America Metal Corp., a company entirely owned by Mr. Li, is our primary customer for end-of-life materials containing recoverable metals and a joint contractor on certain contracts which are too large for either us or First American Metal Corp. alone. First America Metal provides current price lists, which it provides to its other ventors and which we routinely compare to prevailing market prices. We believe our relationship with First America Metal Corp. is beneficial to both companies.
Mr. Li is not an independent director using the definition of independence contained in the NASDAQ listing rules.

Item 12 – Indemnification of Directors and Officers
We indemnify our directors and officers as permitted and required by Nevada corporation law if the indemnified person is not liable in the discharge of his or her fiduciary duties or acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, which is presumed. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to Nevada law, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
METech Recycling Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of METech Recycling Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Company’s governance and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

METECH RECYCLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature of the Company
METech Recycling, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 10, 2005, specializes in electronic waste management and IT asset disposition (ITAD). The Company provides certified recycling services, secure data destruction, and IT asset management. With a focus on sustainability, the Company aims to maximize material recovery while ensuring the protection of proprietary technology and customer data. They operate multiple R2-certified facilities across the U.S., offering customized solutions for safe recycling, inventory management, and equipment disposal. The Company emphasizes eco-responsible practices and transparency.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, and 2023.
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC provides coverage of up to $250,000 per depositor, per financial institution, for the aggregate total of depositors' interest and non-interest-bearing accounts. The Company's cash balances may exceed FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant risks.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of invoiced and unpaid sales. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, future expected losses and current economic trends. Accounts are considered delinquent when payments have not been received within the agreed terms, which is typically 30 to 45 days. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded bad debt expenses totaling $110,000 and $38,610, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $110,000 and $0, respectively.
Deposits
Deposits include security deposits and balances held by regulators for potential costs related to the Company’s operations.

METECH RECYCLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill arose from acquisitions in the early 2010’s which were subsequently streamlined into the single business segment operating today.
Impairment Assessment
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset may not be recoverable. The Company groups and evaluates these long-lived assets for impairment at the lowest level at which individual cash flows can be identified. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company first compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset group. If the estimated future cash flows used in the analysis are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying amount of the asset group to the asset group’s estimated discounted future cash flows. If required, an impairment loss is recorded for the portion of the asset group’s carrying value that exceeds the asset group’s estimated discounted future cash flows.
The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its goodwill for impairment at least annually during its fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more often if and when circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. When evaluating goodwill for potential impairment, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analyzing contracts with customers through a five-step process: identifying the contract with the customer, determining the performance obligations within the contract, establishing the transaction price, allocating that price to the identified performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company’s Revenue is primarily derived from services related to electronic equipment recycling, asset disposition, and data destruction.
Electronic equipment recycling
The Company’s customers engage it to recycle old and unused electronic equipment. The performance obligation associated with this service is the receipt and disposal of the equipment by the Company. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
| F-7 |

| Table of Contents |
METECH RECYCLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Asset disposition
The Company may be engaged to fully remote a client’s equipment from its current location. The performance obligation for this service is based on when all equipment has been removed from the customer’s location. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Data destruction
The Company may be engaged to destroy data on its customers electronic devices as well as provide other destruction services to ensure that its customers’ data is not compromised. This performance obligation is typically met at a point in time and therefore the fees charged by the Company for these services are recognized as revenue at a point in time.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the accompanying balance sheets approximates fair value.
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when management assesses that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Leases
The Company uses the right-of-use (ROU) model to account for leases where the Company is the lessee, which requires an entity to recognize a lease liability and ROU asset on the lease commencement date. A lease liability is measured equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term and is discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Lease payments include payments made before the commencement date and any residual value guarantees, if applicable. When determining the lease term, the Company includes option periods that it is reasonably certain to exercise as failure to renew the lease would impose a significant economic detriment.
Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

METECH RECYCLING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition, the Company’s management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. If the Company has interest or penalties associated with insufficient taxes paid, such expenses are reported in income tax expense.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2024, and 2023.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. See Note 10 for the Company’s segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure or adjustment consideration.
Note 3 – Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 9 – Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are calculated for income tax purposes. The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, assumes a statutory 21%, effective tax rate for federal income taxes.
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Federal tax statutory rate | 21% | 21% | ||
| Temporary differences | 0% | 0% | ||
| Permanent differences | 0% | -8% | ||
| Valuation allowance recovery | -21% | -13% | ||
| 0% | 0% |
The Company had deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net operating loss carryforwards | $ | 610,000 | $ | 654,000 | ||
| Temporary differences | - | - | ||||
| Permanent differences | 1,104,000 | 1,104,000 | ||||
| Valuation allowance | (1,714,000 | ) | (1,758,000 | ) | ||
| Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - |
The Company provides for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, the Company has not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance decreased by $44,000 and $65,000 in the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $8,158,000 in federal net operating loss carryforwards. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the future utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, or interest and penalties, that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years 2019 through 2024.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Transaction summary
On April 16, 2025 (“METech Closing Date”), First America Resources Corporation (“FSTJ”), a Nevada corporation, entered into a Common Stock Exchange Agreement dated as of such date (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the METech Recycling, Inc. (“METech”), a Delaware corporation, and all of the shareholders of METech. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, FSTJ acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of METech from the shareholders pursuant to which METech became a wholly owned subsidiary of FSTJ. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, and in connection with the completion of the acquisition, on the METech Closing Date FSTJ issued 80,000,000 shares of its common stock to the METech Shareholders.
As a result of former management of METech assuming the key management positions of FSTJ, and due to the relative size of METech being significantly larger than FSTJ, for financial statement reporting purposes, the asset acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition with METech deemed the accounting acquirer and FSTJ deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-55. The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of METech (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to FSTJ (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the acquisition. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of FSTJ and the assets and liabilities of METech which are recorded at their historical cost. The equity of the Company is the historical equity of METech.
Pro forma information
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the Company’s audited and unaudited interim historical consolidated financial statements and METech’s audited historical and unaudited interim financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Company’s acquisition of METech. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, gives effect to these transactions as if they occurred on March 30, . The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and the three months ended March 31, 2025, give effect to these transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited historical financial statements, the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and METech’s audited historical financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 METech’s unaudited condensed financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial position that the Company would have reported had the METech transaction closed on the dates indicated and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The pro forma adjustments related to the Exchange Agreement are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and principally include pro forma adjustment(s) to give effect to the reverse acquisition of METech.
