NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (including the exhibits hereto) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), such as statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or expectations, and business operations. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical fact. Accordingly, statements that are based on management’s projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “intend,” “objective,” “goal,” “project,” and other similar words and expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “may.” These forward-looking statements are based largely on information currently available to our management and on our current expectations, assumptions, plans, estimates, judgments and projections about our business and our industry, and such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of performance and there are a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors (many of which are outside our control) which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will in fact occur or that our estimates or assumptions will be correct, and we caution investors and all others not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements:

the<br> Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its future liquidity and capital<br> resources;
the<br> Company’s ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all;
--- ---
the<br> timing and extent of the Company’s product development, commercialization, and business<br> strategy;
--- ---
the<br> Company’s ability to execute its business plan and achieve operating objectives;
--- ---
the<br> impact of competition, technological change, and market conditions on the Company’s<br> business; and
--- ---
the<br> Company’s reliance on government customers, contracts, and funding.
--- ---

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this filing describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or any of these assumptions prove incorrect, the results of the Company could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. All written or oral forward-looking statements that are made or attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (this “Form 10-K” or “Annual Report”). We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Unless otherwise stated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” “ours” and similar expressions refer to Helio Corporation, a Florida corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heliospace Corporation, a Florida corporation.

RecentMoon Mission

Our delivered space qualified hardware continues to perform on space recent flight missions. On March 17, 2025, the Company announced the successful deployment of its hardware on Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 (BGM1) lander. Heliospace provided deployable mechanisms and sensors as part of the Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) experiment. Led by Southwest Research Institute, LMS is designed to study the interior of the Moon by measuring low frequency electromagnetic fields. Heliospace designed and built unique Remote Electrodes that deploy in four directions up to 60 feet away from the lander, forming a large low frequency antenna on the lunar surface. Heliospace also provided a separate compact boom which deploys a magnetometer sensor upwards from the lander deck to make accurate measurements of magnetic fields. These systems work together to enable the LMS experiment to achieve key scientific objectives in resolving the internal structure of Moon’s mantle.

MarketOverview


The global space marketplace is projected to grow from $350 billion today to over $1 trillion by 2040 (Morgan Stanley, Citi forecast, 2021-2022). We believe the growing recognition of the commercial potential of in-space activities, sustained science and technology efforts by both government and private entities, together with defense agency priorities driven by increasing geopolitical concerns will continue to accelerate this trend. Our target market, Satellite System Manufacturing, is expected to have an average market size per year of $2.3 billion for Science & Technology, $750 million for Earth Observation, $5.2 billion for Space Domain Awareness and $1.5 billion for In-Orbit Services from 2025 through 2030 (according to our estimates based on Analysys Mason Ltd., Q4 2022 projections). We intend to continue expansion into the Science & Technology segment, for which we believe we have a significant foothold with our existing products and services, to then develop new opportunities in Space Based Solar Power generation.

The market for space hardware, systems and services is highly fragmented, with few scaled, capable competitors. The capabilities of existing players have been shaped by longstanding government procurements as well as the established communications and navigation equipment markets. There has been significant consolidation over the past few decades, resulting in fewer and less agile or innovative organizations. Cost control, performance and quality remain a challenge for some established incumbents. Meanwhile, the rapidly growing space economy will present a host of new applications and revenue opportunities that many current hardware and services providers are ill equipped to address. To succeed in this evolving market, aerospace companies in particular must be both innovative and agile to answer the needs of emerging new applications and customers. Heliospace aims to expand into these growing market segments by offering responsive, tailored solutions to both established and new customers.


CustomerConcentration

Our customers are concentrated in the space industry. While we have a strategy to diversify our sources of revenue (See “Company Growth Strategy” for a description of our strategy), approximately 70% and 75% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, respectively, was derived, directly or indirectly, from U.S. government sources, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor. In each of these periods, more than 67% of our revenue was attributable to three customers. One of these customers, a prime contractor under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contract with NASA, accounted for approximately 31% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and 27% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024.


CurrentHardware and Services Capabilities

We have successfully scaled as a space hardware and services company providing solutions to government, commercial and non-profit customers. This includes hardware and services for over five space missions and hardware deliveries for over three additional missions launching in the near term. We leverage decades of management experience developing hardware capabilities that were successfully used in space for NASA and other space agencies and organizations. Our current commercial-stage hardware includes deployable mechanisms, antennas, booms, structures, and sensors. Our hardware is generally custom designed to customer specifications, assembled, tested and delivered fully qualified and ready for flight as a complete end-to-end solution. We offer systems engineering, modeling & analyses, integration & test, verification, mission formulation and architecture and other services to NASA and commercial customers. These services span a complete integrated analysis suite including structural, thermal, electromagnetic, optical, deployables and other tools to optimize both system and mission design. Integration and test support includes system-level planning, coupled with personnel to assist or observe test flows and ensure proper verification of requirements. Hardware and services are typically provided on a per-project basis using Time and Materials, Cost-Plus, or Fixed Price contracts with monthly payments, and range in size from $100,000 to over $10 million depending on system complexity, customer requirements, and schedule.

Developmentand Manufacturing

Hardware development occurs at our main facility in Berkeley, California, with over 20,000 sq ft of facilities including assembly and test areas, R&D labs, clean rooms, and thermal-vacuum test equipment. Heliospace leverages existing relationships with an array of vendors vetted under our internal quality control processes to support hardware construction. Our hardware is generally custom designed to customer specifications and translated to drawings including all dimensional and material details. The manufactured components are then sent out for competitive bid to third-party fabricators, who manufacture the components to the required specifications and deliver them to us. We also purchase some finished components from vendors for assemblies, including release mechanisms, heaters, switches, and other specialty components. These components are then assembled, tested and delivered fully qualified and ready for flight as a complete end-to-end solution. Heliospace maintains a vendor management system, which includes vendor surveys and an approved vendor list with specific approval criteria. A quality assurance process is in place for all components we receive, including inspections, paperwork requirements documenting the origin and authenticity of raw materials used, inspection reports, and other evidence that all incoming components meet the specification requirements and applicable regulations. We try to maintain multiple sources for the same component or material, in order to have qualified, alternate sources of supply if our primary source is delayed or does not meet our specifications or quality standards

RawMaterials and Suppliers


Heliospace engages in manufacturing activities at the piece-part and component level, and thus does not maintain an inventory of raw materials. Therefore, we have limited direct exposure to fluctuations in the supply of raw materials. Most of the value we provide with respect to our hardware comes from our design, engineering, assembly and test activities. While some of the components in our hardware require relatively scarce raw materials, our third-party fabricators have historically not experienced difficulty in procuring those materials.

Examplesof our Space Qualified Hardware

Deployableradar antennas on the NASA Europa Clipper mission, which will probe the subsurface of Europa

Technology<br> developed by Heliospace provided a low mass, small form factor solution for the radar antennas<br> required for the NASA Europa Clipper Mission. The mission launched in October 2024. When<br> stowed, our antennas are sufficiently compact to mount on the spacecraft solar arrays, thus<br> simplifying the design and saving NASA significant cost. When deployed, these large dipole<br> antennas extend to more than 55 feet in length. Heliospace designed, assembled, tested, and<br> delivered these antennas under contract with Caltech as part of the Radar for Europa Assessment<br> and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON) instrument onboard Europa Clipper. REASON is<br> a dual-frequency ice penetrating radar instrument designed to characterize and sound Europa’s<br> icy crust from the near-surface to the ocean, revealing the hidden structure of Europa’s<br> ice shell and potential water within. Europa is one of the solar system’s most fascinating<br> objects, where conditions for life may exist, making this an exciting mission for which we<br> were able to provide critical technology. Large deployable mechanisms present a continuing<br> challenge in the space industry for which we have specialized expertise and demonstrated<br> capability. This work was conducted from 2017-2024  pursuant to an $11.8 million cost<br> plus contract. These radar antennas are now fully deployed and operating successfully on<br> the Europa Clipper mission.

Low-costantennas for the NASA SunRISE CubeSat constellation

We<br> developed a solution to provide NASA with a high quantity of compact antennas that will deploy<br> from a constellation of CubeSat class spacecraft on the SunRISE mission. The mission is expected<br> to launch in the summer of 2026, and is designed to image solar eruptions that impact space<br> weather at the Earth causing satellite and communications disruptions. The Heliospace solution<br> enabled four antennas to deploy to over eight feet in length from each cereal-box size SunRISE<br> CubeSat. Compact, deployable antennas and booms for small spacecraft remain a challenge in<br> the space industry, and Heliospace was awarded   a NASA Small Business Innovation Research<br> Award Phase I in August of 2024, followed by a Phase II in June of 2025, to further commercialize<br> this technology for broader use throughout the industry. The SunRISE antennas were delivered<br> over a 2-year period pursuant to a $1.1 million contract.

Deployablesensors and mechanisms for use on three lunar landers as part of the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services program

Our<br> scientists and engineers developed a unique system that deployed four sensors on ballistic<br> trajectories from a lunar lander at distances up to 60 ft, which worked  with other<br> instruments to explore the subsurface structure of the Moon. This unique solution is the<br> first of its kind to be used in space for planetary geophysics investigations and has been<br> selected to fly on two missions as part of the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS)<br> program. The first mission carrying our hardware launched on January 15, 2025, aboard the<br> Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost Lander and successfully landed and operated in March 2025. These<br> projects are ongoing with combined contract values of $1.37 million.
We<br> provided four deployable antennas for a NASA experiment in lunar radio astronomy which flew<br> on the Intuitive Machines (IM-1) lunar mission. They were provided in record time using a<br> simple purchase order requisition, delivered to NASA and successfully deployed in-flight<br> and on the Moon during the IM-1 mission.
--- ---

Afterexpanding our market into the commercial realm in 2023, in 2025 we provided an antenna calibration system for a lunar orbiter being builtby Firefly Aerospace.

Under<br> contract with Firefly Aerospace, we designed, built, and delivered a deployable dipole antenna<br> for the Blue Ghost Transfer vehicle, a lunar orbit mission which will provide a radio frequency<br> calibration source. A lunar lander mission called Lusee-Night will then use this source to<br> calibrate its radio telescope to perform astrophysics observations from the lunar far side.<br> Our solution displaced another vendor’s offering due to its heritage and performance.<br> In an expansion of our previous offerings, we are responsible for both the mechanical and<br> radiofrequency testing and performance of the delivered hardware pursuant to a $1.1 million<br> contract in FY 2025.

Prototypemechanisms for the Mars Sample Return program

In<br> 2023 and early 2024, while the program was active, we utilized our specialized system-level<br> capabilities and awareness of the NASA Mars Sample Return architecture to play a key role<br> in the design and testing of sample handling hardware involving sample transfer from the<br> rover to an ascent vehicle from the Martian surface, and the subsequent transfer of that<br> sample to an orbiting vehicle for eventual return to Earth.

CompanyGrowth Strategy

Our company growth strategy builds upon our successful hardware and services capabilities, which provides a source of recurring revenue, to expand into providing an emerging new source of energy for humanity: Space Based Solar Power (SBSP). The global demand for electricity has been increasing substantially. In the United States, projections are rapidly  accelerating due to data center growth, domestic industrial expansion, and increasing electrification of overall energy use (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2025; Inner City Fund (ICF) 2025). To meet this accelerated demand, significant expansion of both fossil fuel based and clean sources of energy are forecasted. The growing possibility of a supply/demand imbalance results in a projected cost of electricity that exceeds the rate of inflation, impacting residential, commercial, and industrial users.

To meet projected demand in the U.S. and globally, new utility-scale power generation will be required. Meeting this demand using clean renewable energy sources remains a challenge, as these have historically been unable to provide baseload capacity – i.e., the ability to provide reliable, constant energy over long periods. Globally, ground-based solar and wind are projected to expand, but have significant variability and low utilization, and are unable to provide baseload capacity. Energy storage to increase reliability and peak capacity are forecast to have an increasing role, but are resource intensive and difficult to deploy at the required scale. Natural gas is increasingly forecast to meet demand due to cost effectiveness and baseload capability, but remains a non-renewable source with environmental impact, and is subject to price volatility. Nuclear energy faces significant challenges in cost of energy, site selection, availability of fuel, vulnerability to natural disasters, and public perception. The problem of energy available is significant: individual large users (i.e., data centers) are increasingly developing their own behind-the-meter sources. Meanwhile for residential customers, electricity prices will increase at a rate faster than inflation, effectively doubling by 2050.

8

Space Based Solar Power (SBSP) leverages our best source of energy – our Sun, a giant fusion reactor that will last billions of years. Solar energy in space is abundant, efficient, scalable and constant – a clean source of energy that can provide baseload capability, displacing the role of coal and natural gas and other carbon emitting sources. Falling launch costs combined with advancements in space systems are bringing use of SBSP within the realm of economic feasibility. Using our experience and in-house intellectual property Helio plans to offer a modular, scalable SBSP plant based on HelioSat, our advanced deployable system that expands into large solar collection areas from small spacecraft.

The global market opportunity for electricity supply is substantial, nearly USD $2 trillion in 2025, expanding to $3.7 trillion by 2035. By 2050 global consumption is predicted to double. Within this is a potential fourfold increase forecast to be from clean/renewable sources. A clean renewable source such as SBSP can provide baseload capability to this growing market at a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of $0.10/kWh over a lifetime of 20 years. Expansion of this system to 100 GW capability yields $811B lifetime profit and an IRR at 11% annually. Helio plans to demonstrate an initial in-space SBSP system by 2030, followed by larger capacity in the following decade. In parallel with this development, the current hardware and services capabilities will continue to expand as well, leveraging the advances we achieve in SBSP for use in adjacent applications for civil, commercial, and defense related use.

OurChallenges

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. While we believe our competitive strengths will contribute to the growth and success of our company, our business is subject to challenges and uncertainties that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

9

Among the challenges we face in implementing our growth strategy is the need to be agile in answering the needs of emerging new applications such as SBSP, including through successful innovation and continued refinement both of current and newly developed technologies, products, and services. Developing future innovations and satisfying or responding to changing customer demands and industry cycles safely and in a timely and cost-effective manner will require significant capital,and require us to overcome technological hurdles and navigate highly regulated environments. These will be ongoing challenges for our business.

While our growth strategy is achieving an increasing market share from private and commercial customers, a significant amount of our current revenue relies on U.S. government contracts. The changing political landscape, including the new Executive and Congressional leadership and priorities, the increasing U.S. budget deficit and national debt, and disruptions in the U.S. government budget process, impacts our inability to secure additional U.S. government contracts and represents a continuing challenge to our ability to implement our growth strategy.


InvestmentHighlights

We<br> have successfully scaled as a space hardware and services company providing solutions to<br> government, commercial and non-profit customers. This includes hardware and services for<br> over five active space missions and hardware deliveries for over two additional missions<br> expected to launch in 2026 or later.

Implicationsof Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to:

Being<br> permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to<br> any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s<br> Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure<br> in this filing (notwithstanding this reduced requirement, have presented three years<br> of audited consolidated financial statements in this filing);
Not<br> being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of<br> the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in<br> the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;
--- ---
Not<br> being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting<br> Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors’<br> report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
--- ---
Reduced<br> disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements<br> and registration statements; and
--- ---
Exemptions<br> from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and<br> shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
--- ---

10

The Company will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Company’s first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (iii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period; or (iv) the date on which the Company becomes a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). To the extent that we continue to qualify as a smaller reporting company after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (iii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.


IntellectualProperty and Protection

The Company has certain proprietary products and processes which are maintained as trade secrets. The Company has no filed or registered copyrights, trademarks or patents. Work on government contracts is generally conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rights in data clause, for which we claim limited rights to key technologies on a case-by-case basis. For non-government contracts, proprietary products are protected by non-disclosure agreements, and allocation of rights agreements as appropriate. In addition, each employee signs a proprietary information and inventions agreement. In general, critical details of proprietary products are withheld from release in customer interactions based on the judgment of company leadership.


Seasonalityin Our Business

We do not believe our business is subject to significant seasonal variation.


GovernmentRegulation

Our business is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels, including employment, health care and safety, privacy, data security, environmental, and other requirements. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires management by the Company, including legal assistance, use of professional employment organizations, and other resources on an ongoing basis. Changes in laws and regulations, and their variations in local jurisdictions, require monitoring and research in order to ensure compliance and obtain the appropriate licenses, certificates, permits, and other documentation necessary to conduct business. Many of these laws and regulations are typical of most business activities, whereas we describe additional regulations at the federal level specific to our Company below.

We currently hold and will continue to pursue contracts with NASA and other U.S. government agencies and will thus be subject to FAR. U.S. government contracts require specialized accounting procedures involving direct and indirect cost, and with fee amounts limited by government or agency policies. Government contracts require both financial and compliance audits that may result in the recovery of funds after expenditure and other cost adjustments. Additional scrutiny may result in additional audits and reviews, triggered by technical or programmatic failures or other events. Gross violations of these policies can result in administrative sanctions such as suspension or debarment from doing business with the U.S. government, or civil and criminal penalties. Contracts subject to the Federal Civil False Claims Act include provisions allowing individuals such as employees to file claims on behalf of the U.S. government for contract violations and other unlawful activities. In addition, working with the U.S. government requires disclosure of certain company information, and mandatory labor, non-discrimination, and environmental compliance, among many other requirements. These aspects of the U.S. government regulation of contracts increase the overhead costs associated with contract compliance and add additional risks in conducting these transactions, while the limited fee structure allowed may limit profit under these contracts.

11

International space law dictates that all commercial activities in space must obtain the authorization and ongoing supervision of a state, which typically takes the form of a license, and all U.S. space companies are therefore subject to U.S. space policies and regulations. The licenses, approvals, and legality of these activities will vary with customers and applications and evolve over time as political bodies and other stakeholders influence the space law framework. The legal framework of each new contract involving activities in space needs to be individually evaluated. Significant ongoing regulations in this context include the protection and oversight of any transfer of hardware or technology to foreign entities, as governed by the International Traffic and Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the U.S. Department of Commerce. U.S. space companies are responsible for ensuring that foreign persons or entities do not have access to applicable technology under ITAR without obtaining an approved government license. ITAR compliance requires registration with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), followed by generation and submission of ITAR-compliant export licenses. Protection of data subject to ITAR requires employee training and cybersecurity measures. The Company believes these efforts can collectively cost more than tens of thousands of dollars between both fees and personnel costs but has not incurred any material costs related to ITAR registration to date. For technology not subject to ITAR, shipment or transfer of space technology to foreign entities must obtain a license under the U.S. Department of Commerce. Significant resources can be required to assess and manage these processes to avoid civil or criminal liability. Obligations required under these regulations include registration with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and familiarization with the classification of commodities according to Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Ongoing monitoring of changes in export control laws is an important activity that must be maintained to ensure compliance. Additional obligations include the acknowledgment and proper management of customer-supplied technology or information subject to ITAR or EAR.


Employees

As of February 13, 2026, we had approximately 12 employees, ten of whom were hourly ranging from full to part time, and an additional two personnel under consultant  agreements. Most of our full-time employees are highly trained, primarily in the areas of mechanical, structural, and systems engineering and thermal analysis. We are not party to any collective bargaining agreements. Our employees are critical to our long-term success and essential to helping us meet our goals. It is crucial that we continue to attract, retain and motivate exceptional and high-performing employees. To that end, we provide competitive salaries, paid time off, compensatory time and employee stock options.

RiskManagement and Strategy

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to cybersecurity risks, which the Company manages as a component of its overall risk management strategy. The Company’s management recognizes the impact that cybersecurity threats could have on our business operations, our compliance with regulations and our reputation. The Company has created a cybersecurity monitoring and reporting framework that it uses to respond to any potential cybersecurity risks. As part of this framework, the Company utilizes a third-party vendor to provide network security and assist with protection against cybersecurity risks through network assessments, monitoring, and related activities. The Company’s management continues to assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, its compliance policies, and its reporting framework in order to limit the risk posed by cybersecurity incidents.

General

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the operating results and financial condition of the Company for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.  The discussion and analysis set forth below is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition and results of our operations and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying statements and related notes, are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretations of business conditions, changing market conditions and other factors. Historical results and trends that might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

15

These forward-looking statements include statements relating to our anticipated financial performance and business prospects, including debt reduction, currency values and financial impact, foreign exchange counterparty exposures, the impact of pending legal proceedings, adequate liquidity levels, dividends, share repurchases or other capital deployment initiatives and/or statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believe,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “may,” “predicts,” “so we can,” “when,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “aim,” “could,” “plans,” “seeks” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date stated, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, even if experience or future events make it clear that any expected results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements will not be realized. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations may not prove to be correct or we may not achieve the financial results, savings or other benefits anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section in our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-284062) (the “S-1 Registration Statement”) could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements and include, without limitation:

Our<br> limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks<br> and challenges we may encounter.
Our<br> success depends heavily on our executive officers, senior management team and highly trained<br> employees; difficulty hiring officers and  employees of equal competency or ineffective<br> succession planning, could adversely affect our business.
--- ---
Competition<br> could cause downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, inability<br> to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.
--- ---
Our<br> competitors may  be better capitalized,  have greater revenues, and have more industry<br> or management experience.
--- ---
Our<br> competitors may develop technologies and products that are more effective than those we develop<br> or that render our technology and products obsolete or noncompetitive.
--- ---
Our<br> projections of future financial results are based on a number of assumptions by our management,<br> some or all of which may prove to be incorrect, and actual results may differ materially<br> and adversely from such projections.
--- ---
Our<br> estimated and projected  market for our products and services may be inaccurate  and<br> may not reach our expected  potential.
--- ---
We<br> will incur significant expenses and capital expenditures  to execute our business<br> plan; there are no assurances that we will obtain adequate financing to meet these expenditures.
--- ---
We<br> may  invest significant resources in developing new products, services and technologies<br> in pursuit of applications and revenue opportunities that may never materialize.
--- ---
Our<br> ability to grow our business depends on our ability to develop new products, and services<br> to satisfy changing customer demands and respond to changing industry cycles in a timely<br> and cost-effective manner.
--- ---
Our<br> business may be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the U.S. Government.
--- ---
Technology<br> failures or cyber security breaches or other unauthorized access to our information technology<br> systems or sensitive or proprietary information could have an adverse effect on the Company’s<br> business and operations.
--- ---
Federal<br> contracting is subject to significant regulation, including rules related to bidding, billing<br> and accounting kickbacks and false claims, and  non-compliance could subject<br> us to fines and penalties.
--- ---
Our<br> inability to secure additional U.S. government contracts and funding may adversely affect<br> our business, financial condition and results of operations.
--- ---
The<br> U.S. government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability<br> of the U.S. government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year<br> and consequently having to shut down or operate on funding levels equivalent to its prior<br> fiscal year pursuant to a “continuing resolution,” could have an adverse impact<br> on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
--- ---
Our<br> common stock has historically experienced limited trading and you may have difficulty liquidating<br> your shares.
--- ---
Our<br> stock price may be volatile and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.
--- ---

16

We<br> do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation<br> of your shares of common stock for return on your investment.
Our<br> Company’s founders, directors and executive officers own or control a majority of the<br> Company and you will have little or no management control over our business or  corporate<br> mattes.
--- ---
Our<br> operating results may continue to be adversely affected as a result of unfavorable market,<br> economic, social and political conditions.
--- ---

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report.

Heliospace, our wholly owned subsidiary, is an aerospace company specializing in the design, engineering, assembly and test of space flight qualified hardware, providing systems engineering, modeling, analysis, integration and test services to customers in government, commercial, private and non-profit markets. Heliospace designs, fabricates, assembles and tests space qualified hardware, including radar antennas for the NASA Europa Clipper mission, the antennas for the SunRISE CubeSat constellation, and deployable systems and sensors for numerous lunar landers and the Mars Sample Return program. Heliospace also provides systems engineering, integration and test, and mission formulation services, including support for the design, testing, and launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, formulation and design of the Roman Space Telescope, Habworlds Observatory, Mars Sample Return, and the Atmospheric Observing System.

In January 2024, via a share exchange accounted for as a reverse acquisition, Web3 Corporation, a Florida corporation that was originally incorporated under the name Stirling Bridge Group, Inc. and was a specialized small business venture lender, acquired 100% of the stock of Heliospace, and changed its name from Web3 Corporation to Helio Corporation (the “Business Combination”). Heliospace was the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination and was determined to be the sole predecessor of Helio Corporation. Accordingly, this discussion and analysis, and the financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report, reflect the financial condition and results of operations of Helio Corporation and its sole consolidated subsidiary, Heliospace, after the Business Combination and of Heliospace prior to the Business Combination.

Trends,Events, and Uncertainties

GovernmentBudget Uncertainty and Proposed NASA Cuts

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from contracts with the U.S. federal government, including through NASA, where our subsidiary, Heliospace, provides mission-critical components and engineering services for science and exploration missions. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by trends in federal discretionary spending, particularly in space science and technology programs.

One key emerging trend is the proposed shift in federal budget priorities under the Trump administration. In April 2025, the administration released its draft budget proposal for fiscal year 2026, which recommends a significant reduction in overall discretionary spending, including an approximately 50% cut to NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. If enacted, this proposal would have reduced funding for core science programs such as astrophysics, heliophysics, Earth science, and planetary science—areas directly aligned with Heliospace’s technical capabilities and historical contract activity. Subsequent actions by Congress have restored NASA’s budget to near 2024 levels, including $7 billion for science programs that represent a core customer for Heliospace.

While NASA funding has largely been restored, the magnitude of the proposed cuts and the administration’s stated intent to reprioritize government resources away from space science programs present a material uncertainty for our future growth. Any resulting reduction, delay, or cancellation of NASA programs could reduce the number of available contracts, increase competition for limited awards, and adversely impact our future revenue and profitability.

17

In addition, broader fiscal challenges at the federal level—such as the rising national debt, persistent budget deficits, and the risk of government shutdowns or extended continuing resolutions—could result in delays to contract funding or payments, reduced availability of new program opportunities, and increased uncertainty in long-term planning. These macroeconomic pressures may also negatively affect private sector customers that rely on or benefit from government-funded space and research initiatives.

As we execute our expansion plans, we have continued to increase the percentage of revenue from private and commercial sources, are actively working to expand our offerings to defense agencies whose budgets remain a priority for the current administration and Congress, and expanding into the new business line of SBSP. However, these plans are subject to risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that they will succeed or fully offset the effects of any reduction in government spending.

CybersecurityRisk and Ongoing Threat Landscape

As a government contractor and developer of advanced aerospace technology, we operate in a highly sensitive and data-driven environment. Cybersecurity risks—including ransomware attacks, data breaches, intellectual property theft, and attempted intrusions by nation-state actors—continue to increase in frequency and sophistication across our industry. Like many companies operating in the defense and aerospace sectors, we remain a potential target for both criminal and geopolitical cyber threats.

We have implemented security protocols, systems monitoring, and access controls to protect our infrastructure and proprietary information, including information related to our work with NASA and other government agencies. However, cybersecurity is an evolving threat landscape, and there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent all attacks or unauthorized access. A successful breach could disrupt our operations, compromise confidential data, harm our reputation, result in regulatory investigations, or expose us to legal claims and financial losses.

We will continue to invest in cybersecurity tools, training, and third-party audits to strengthen our defenses, and we are evaluating compliance with emerging federal cybersecurity requirements. Nonetheless, future cybersecurity incidents could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended October 31, 2025 decreased by 44% to $3,875,793 from $6,891,223 for the year ended October 31, 2024, reflecting a lower overall volume of work compared to the prior years. Contributing factors include continuing budget cuts to NASA programs enacted by the current administration, combined with the extended government shutdown. During the year  ended October 31, 2025, we serviced eleven customers, two of which were direct government customers, four were private or commercial customers and three were non/not-for-profit customers for whom we manufactured products as a subcontractor for their government customer. Two commercial customers were serviced whose source of funds was private investment. For the years ended October 31, 2024, we serviced thirteen customers, of which two were direct government customers and seven were private foundations, and four were non/not-for-profit customers for whom we manufactured products as a subcontractor for their government customer.

Cost of Revenue

The 29% decrease in cost of revenue for the year ended October 31, 2025 to $2,952,619 from $4,153,190 for the year ended October 31, 2024 mainly reflected the decreased business volume described above. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales amounted to 75% and 60% in the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased by approximately 15% due to a lower overall revenue against certain fixed costs, a loss on one fixed price contract, and charges to one services contract beyond the hours originally allocated to that contract.

Operating Expenses

Years<br> Ended <br> October 31,
2025 2024 Change %

--- ---

Overall operating expenses increased by $138,740, or 3%, to $4,621,928 for the year ended October 31, 2025, as compared to $4,483,188 for the year ended October 31, 2024, driven by professional fees incurred in connection with a public offering attempt and higher G&A expenses associated with this and R&D activities.

Other Expense

Our other expenses are comprised of interest expense, amortization of debt discount, change in fair value of derivative liability and loss on debt extinguishment. Overall other expenses increased by $214,189, or 182%, to $331,717 for the year ended October 31, 2025, as compared to $117,528 for the year ended October 31, 2024. We recorded $327,873 in interest expense in the year ended October 31, 2025 compared to $89,178 in the year ended October 31, 2024, reflecting our increased amount of average outstanding debt and increased rates of interest thereunder. In the year ended October 31, 2025 we recorded amortization of debt discount of $8,188 and the change in fair value of derivative liability of ($4,344), which was due to the issuance of convertible debt in August 2025.

We have not recorded income tax expense or benefit in the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 (because of our tax loss carryforwards). We had approximately $3,179,000 of net operating loss carry forwards to offset future federal taxable income as of October 31, 2025.

The NOL carry forward is subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. Under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, annual use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards to offset taxable income and tax, respectively, may be limited based on cumulative changes in ownership. The Company has not completed an analysis to determine whether any such limitations have been triggered as of October 31, 2025. The annual limitation, if any, will be determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the year ended October 31, 2025 was $4,030,471, compared to a net loss of $1,862,683 for the year ended October 31, 2024. The change was due to the reasons discussed above.

Because of historical and expected operating losses and net operating cash flow deficits, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, which is not alleviated by management’s plans. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis of accounting. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

19


Liquidityand Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,305 and has historically incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company has funded its working capital, research and development activities, capital expenditures, and other commitments primarily through loans from the Company’s executive officers and directors and other debt financings. The Company has also issued equity securities in non-cash transactions, including in connection with services rendered and debt-related arrangements. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows as it advances its business and executes its strategic initiatives.

The Company’s primary liquidity requirements include funding operating expenses, research and development activities, engineering and technical personnel costs, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and costs associated with maintaining its public company reporting obligations. As of October 31, 2025, the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due depend, and is expected to continue to depend, on its ability to obtain additional financing through debt or equity issuances, strategic transactions, or other capital-raising activities.

During fiscal year 2025 and subsequent to October 31, 2025, the Company completed multiple financing transactions to support its liquidity needs.

On August 26, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which it issued a convertible promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $275,000 for gross proceeds of $200,000 net of an original issue discount of $25,000 and expenses of $75,000 withdrawn from the original proceeds. The note bears interest at 10% per annum and matures on August 26, 2026. In connection with the transaction, the Company also issued unregistered shares of its common stock as commitment shares. Net proceeds were used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

On September 18, 2025, the Company obtained a short-term loan, which totaled $ 63,000, from a single lender to fund operations. The loan is secured by expected (i) future cash receipts of the Company, and (ii) all other tangible and intangible personal property. Payments are expected on a weekly basis for 30 weeks. The Company is expected to repay an aggregate of $91,980 to the lender over the nominal term. The repayment amount decreases for earlier payoff dates.

On September 30, 2025, the Company obtained a short-term loan, which totaled $ 60,000, from a single lender to fund operations. The loan is secured by expected (i) future cash receipts of the Company, and (ii) all other tangible and intangible personal property. Payments are expected on a weekly basis for 18 weeks. The Company is expected to repay an aggregate of $89,940 to the lender over the nominal term. The repayment amount decreases for earlier payoff dates.

On September 30, 2025, the Company obtained a short-term loan, which totaled $ 80,000, from a single lender to fund operations. The loan is secured by expected (i) future cash receipts of the Company, and (ii) all other tangible and intangible personal property. Payments are expected on a weekly basis for 24 weeks. The Company is expected to repay an aggregate of $120,000 to the lender over the nominal term. The repayment amount decreases for earlier payoff dates.

Subsequent to October 31, 2025, on December 19, 2025, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes and an unsecured convertible promissory note to institutional investors for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $250,000, reflecting original issue discounts. These notes bear interest at 12% per annum and mature in 2026.

In addition, on January 12, 2026 and January 14, 2026, the Company issued additional convertible promissory notes to accredited investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000, reflecting original issue discounts of $30,000.

The securities issued in connection with these transactions, including shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the notes or as consideration for services, were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information.

DebtObligations and Contractual Commitments

As of October 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding unsecured notes to related parties with an aggregate principal balance of $1,336,613, bearing interest at rates between 6.5% and 11.25% per annum. $841,613 of these notes mature in fiscal year 2026, with the remaining balance maturing in fiscal years 2027 and 2028.

As of October 31, 2025, the Company also had outstanding debt from unrelated parties under notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $1,887,034. These notes bear interest at rates of 9.75% and 12.00% per annum and mature within the next two fiscal years. Certain of these notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and by shares of common stock pledged by a shareholder, and certain notes permit acceleration upon the occurrence of specified events. A discussion of the notes issued during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 and subsequent thereto is included above.

The Company’s ability to service its debt obligations will depend on its future operating performance and its ability to obtain additional financing.

Subsequent Events


As previously disclosed in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC in November 2025, December 2025 and February 2026, the Company received notices of default relating to certain outstanding promissory notes.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 26, 2025, on November 20, 2025, the Company received an email from counsel to the holders of (i) the Company’s secured promissory note dated October 15, 2024 in the original principal amount of $400,000, bearing interest at 9.75% per annum, and (ii) the Company’s secured promissory note dated October 16, 2024 in the original principal amount of $500,000, bearing interest at 9.75% per annum (collectively, the “$900,000 Notes”). The $900,000 Notes are secured by a first-priority security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable. The email asserted that the Company’s failure to repay the $900,000 Notes at their November 5, 2025 maturity date constituted an event of default and stated that it constituted a notice of default. The holders have demanded repayment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest. The Company did not repay the $900,000 Notes on the maturity date. As of February 13, 2026, the total amount outstanding under the $900,000 Notes, including accrued interest, was $865,335.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 2, 2025, on December 1, 2025, the Company received a notice from a noteholder asserting that the Company was in default under its Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note dated October 15, 2024 in the original principal amount of $250,000, bearing interest at 9.75% per annum (the “$250,000 Secured Note”), due to the Company’s failure to repay the outstanding amount within the applicable grace period following its November 5, 2025 maturity date. The Company did not repay the $250,000 Secured Note on the maturity date. As of February 13, 2026, the total amount outstanding under the $250,000 Secured Note, including accrued interest, was $289,045.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2026, on February 7, 2026, the Company received notices of default and demand for payment (collectively, the “February Default Notices”) from the holders of (i) a promissory note dated March 18, 2024 in the original principal amount of $50,000, (ii) a promissory note dated April 16, 2025 in the original principal amount of $150,000, and (iii) a promissory note dated March 18, 2024 in the original principal amount of $50,000 (collectively, the “Extended Notes”).

In September 2025, the Company entered into loan extension agreements with respect to the Extended Notes pursuant to which the maturity dates were extended and installment payments were scheduled through December 31, 2025. Under the terms of the extension agreements, if payments were not made in accordance with the agreed schedule, interest accrues at a rate of 18% per annum deemed to have commenced on July 1, 2025. As of February 13, 2026, the amounts outstanding under the Extended Notes were $61,877 under the $50,000 note dated March 18, 2024, $169,837 under the $150,000 note dated April 16, 2025, and $61,877 under the $50,000 note dated March 18, 2024.

The Company has not entered into any written waiver or forbearance agreement with respect to the foregoing indebtedness and is in discussions with the respective holders regarding potential repayment arrangements; however, no assurance can be given that such discussions will result in a resolution.

CapitalRequirements and Going-Concern Considerations

Because of historical and expected operating losses and negative operating cash flows, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Management’s plans to address this uncertainty include pursuing additional debt and equity financings, strategic partnerships, and other capital-raising initiatives. However, there can be no assurance that such financing or other arrangements will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital when needed, it may be required to reduce or delay expenditures, curtail operations, delay or limit strategic initiatives, or pursue other strategic alternatives.

Our operating cash flow results were affected by the aging and timing of certain working capital items. During the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, our negative operating cash flow was attributed mainly to our net loss, as described above.

During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company reported $(2,065,017) of cash used in operating activities. The Company’s negative operating cash flow was attributed mainly to a net loss of $(4,030,471), decrease in lease obligations of $410,572, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets. This was offset by decreases in right of use asset amortization of $393,016, increase in accrued compensation of $125,150, decrease in accounts receivable of $900,776, decrease in work in progress of $343,218, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $133,497.

During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Company reported ($1,560,375) of cash used by operating activities.

CriticalAccounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:

Revenue<br> Recognition
Work<br> in Progress
--- ---
Lease<br> Accounting
--- ---

RevenueRecognition


Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

23

Revenues from cost-plus and time and materials contracts are recognized with each invoice. For fixed price contracts including purchase orders with specific priced milestone deliveries, revenue is recognized upon invoicing for each milestone completed. Revenue on fixed price contracts that are still in progress at month end are otherwise recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Workin Progress

Inventory consists of work in progress and consists of estimated revenue calculated on a percentage of completion based on direct labor and materials in relation to the total contract value. The Company does not maintain raw materials nor finished goods.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities — current, and operating lease liabilities — noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our statement of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of Helio Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Helio Corporation (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2025, 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 October 31, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Substantial Doubt about the Company’sAbility to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operations. These factors, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion


These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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.

NOTES

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October

31, 2025

NOTE

1: BUSINESS

Helio Corporation (the “Company” or “Helio”) is an aerospace technology, engineering, and research and development (R&D) holding company serving commercial, government, and non-profit organizations. Heliospace Corporation (“Heliospace”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is an aerospace company specializing in the design, engineering, assembly and test of space flight qualified hardware, providing systems engineering, modeling, analysis, integration and test services for space missions.  Heliospace was incorporated on March 6, 2018 in Delaware. The Company’s products include aerospace related hardware, systems, and services for customers such as NASA, universities, and private space companies. The customer base ranges from NASA and foreign space agencies to private companies, foundations, universities, and non-profits.

Heliospace designs, fabricates, assembles and tests space qualified hardware, including radar antennas for the NASA Europa Clipper mission, antennas for the SunRISE CubeSat constellation, and deployable systems and sensors for numerous lunar landers and the Mars Sample Return program. Heliospace also provides systems engineering, integration and test, and mission formulation services, including support for the design, testing, and launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, formulation and design of the Roman Space Telescope, Habworlds Observatory, Mars Sample Return, and the Atmospheric Observing System.

Change-in-controlTransaction

On October 3, 2022, Helio was incorporated in Florida, under the name Stirling Bridge Group, Inc. In May of 2023, the Company changed its name to Web3 Corporation. In January 2024, the Company acquired 100% of Heliospace’s common stock shares in exchange for 9,795,733 newly issued Common Stock Shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”), and changed its name from Web3 Corporation to the Helio Corporation. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 2448 Sixth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710. The transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Heliospace as Heliospace was deemed the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements are that of Heliospace; therefore the pre-transaction financial statements are that of Heliospace. The transaction was effective on January 4, 2024 and combines the financial statements from the transaction date forward.

Liquidity

The Company has historically funded its working capital, research and development and capital expenditure requirements and other commitments (including debt service and repayment) from its operating cash flows, debt financing, and issuances of equity. The Company has historically experienced negative cash flows from operations and recurring net losses.

In May and June 2025, the Company entered into an additional note payable agreement and a Receivables Sale Agreement to obtain additional funding (see Note 5). Additional financing or capital investment will be necessary to sustain operations for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company is currently engaged in negotiations with prospective lenders regarding potential bridge financing arrangements, and potential investors for the purchase of convertible notes or equity investments. These discussions are ongoing, and there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into definitive agreements or that any such financing will be completed on favorable terms or at all.

If completed, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from investments and bridge financing to repay certain outstanding promissory notes and to support key operational initiatives. These include investments in research and development, expansion of sales, marketing, and business development activities, facility and infrastructure enhancements, manufacturing improvements, and other general corporate purposes, including working capital and upgrades to the Company’s financial and contract management systems.

The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance as to the availability, if any, or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available in the future. As of October 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,305, a decrease of $544,247 from $551,552 as of October 31, 2024.

The Company has outstanding unsecured notes to certain related parties with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1,336,613 as of October 31, 2025, the proceeds of which were used to meet working capital and cash flow management needs. The notes bear interest at between 6.5% and 11.25% per annum. $841,613 of these notes mature in the 2026 fiscal year, and the remaining $495,000 mature in the 2027 or 2028 fiscal years. Note that the terms of these related party transactions are not necessarily indicative of what third parties would agree to.

F-7

As of October 31, 2025, the Company has outstanding debt from unrelated parties pursuant to notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $2,162,033. These notes bear interest at 9.75% and 50.00% and mature within the next two fiscal years. Certain of these notes were initially convertible but were amended to eliminate the conversion features in consideration of the issuance by the Company and/or the transfer by certain shareholders of shares of the Company’s common stock (See Note 5). Interest on these notes either accrues or is paid quarterly or at maturity along with principal, as specifically described in the note. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by the Company under any of the above notes, which default is not cured within fifteen (15) days following written notice of such default from the payee, the payee may declare the entire unpaid principal and unpaid interest immediately due and payable. Certain of these notes are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, and by shares of common stock pledged by one of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, certain of these notes become due, and the payees under certain of these notes have the right to accelerate their notes, upon the completion of an offering.

Because of historical and expected operating losses and net operating cash flow deficits, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis of accounting. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE

2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basisof Presentation and Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of and its wholly owned subsidiary, HelioSpace, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31.

Reclassification

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company identified a $50,000 amount previously classified as Notes payable was more appropriately classified as Notes payable – related parties within the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2024. Upon evaluation, the Company determined that the impact of this reclassification was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The reclassification is reflected within the October 31, 2024 balances presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and was made to enhance comparability and transparency of the financial statements.


Cashand Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of October 31, 2025 and 2024.

Cash accounts are insured at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits of $250,000 per bank. At times throughout the year, such bank balances may have exceeded the federally insured limit. As of October 31, 2025, there were no bank balances in excess of the federally insured limit.


WorkIn Progress

Work In Progress (WIP) tracks the costs incurred of a specific job that has not reached a certain milestone achievement. This is the computed value of work performed to advance milestone(s) that have not yet been billed and is used to track total job cost (billed and unbilled). Revenue of WIP is only recognized for specific milestones that are distinct contractual performance obligations that provide identifiable benefits to the customer independently of other project phases.


F-8


AccountsReceivable, net

Accounts receivables are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on the balance outstanding at period-end. Management closely monitors outstanding balances during the year and allocates an allowance account if appropriate. The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables and contract assets. The Company considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of its customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, the Company believes that the carrying value, net of expected losses, approximates fair value and therefore, relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that no allowance for credit losses is necessary for the current or prior reporting periods.

As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no amount recorded relating to the allowance for credit losses. The Company writes off bad debts as they occur during the year, if applicable. Accounts receivable as of October 31, 2025 and 2024 was $489,426 and $1,390,202, respectively.


Propertyand Equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the disposal occurred. The Company computes depreciation utilizing estimated useful lives, as stated below:

Property and Equipment, net Categories Estimated<br> Useful Life

| Furniture and equipment | 10 Years |

Management regularly reviews property and equipment for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based on management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment as of October 31, 2025 or 2024, respectively.


Useof Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.


FairValue Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

Level 1 — fair<br> value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);
Level 2 — fair<br> value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the<br> asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 — fair<br> value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based<br> on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management for the respective periods. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, short-term notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, as the variable interest rates approximate current market rates.

The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2025 and 2024.

October<br> 31, 2025 October<br> 31, 2023

RevenueRecognition

The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires the following:

1. Identify<br> the contract with a customer.
2. Identify<br> the performance obligations in the contract.
--- ---
3. Determine<br> the transaction price of the contract.
--- ---
4. Allocate<br> the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
--- ---
5. Recognize<br> revenue when the performance obligations are met or delivered.
--- ---

The Company’s operating revenues are primarily generated from service fees, engineering fees, and materials fees. The Company uses two different types of contracts which are deliverable based or time based. The Company recognizes revenue related to services when performance obligations are fulfilled.

Design service contracts deliver system engineering inputs including designs, analyses, test and verification plans, and mission formulation architectures on a continual basis over the course of a contract. Customer work is based on distinct identifiable contracts with clear performance obligations, objectives, and pricing. Service revenue contract types are either Time & Materials (T&M) or Purchase Order (PO) contracts. Time & Materials contracts meet performance obligations continuously and are billed with revenue recognized at each invoice. PO contracts are billed at fulfillment of a performance obligation based on the customer agreements, and thus revenue is recognized when earned.

Engineering services deliver both space qualified hardware and accompanying analyses, and are conducted under Cost-type, Fixed price, PO, and T&M contracts. Cost-type and T&M Engineering contracts are billed monthly as work is completed and revenue is recognized. Revenue for fixed price contracts including purchase orders that specify priced milestones for delivery of hardware, reports, or analyses is recognized upon completion of a specific milestone. Revenue on fixed price contracts that are still in progress at month end are otherwise recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs for each contract.

IncomeTaxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for carry-forward losses which can be utilized to offset future taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and cause a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income. Income tax expense is comprised of the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.


Earnings(loss) Per Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, plus the net impact of common shares (computed using the treasury stock method), if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of dilutive securities. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company excluded the common stock equivalents summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to ultimately acquire shares of common stock, from its calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases based on ASC Topic 842, Leases. Based on this standard, the Company determines if an agreement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use asset, current operating lease obligations, and operating lease obligations, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of long-term debt, net and long-term debt, less current portion, and debt issuance costs in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.


As permitted under Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of ASU 2016-02 to short term leases (leases with a lease term 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.


Researchand Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include, but are not limited to, employee related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation of research and development personnel, supplies; facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, utilities and insurance. During the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the company recorded $215,088 and $325,381 in research and development costs, respectively, which is categorized in the general and administrative expense section of the consolidated statements of operations.


Stockbased-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. The Company currently obtains valuation reports according to FASB ASC Topic 718 — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Equity-based compensation consists solely of stock option awards, including Incentivized Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs), whose exercise prices are determined by the 409A valuation reports. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period as the employee provides services. See Note 8 – Stock Options for additional information.

BenefitPlan

From November 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025 the Company offered a 401(k) plan, in which employees were eligible to participate in the plan on the first day of the month following the date of hire. Under the plan employees may defer up to $23,500 for 2025 and $23,000 for 2024. The Company was required to contribute on behalf of each eligible participating employee, matching 100% of the participants deferral not to exceed 4% of employee compensation. Employees will share in the matching contribution regardless of the amount of service completed during the plan year.

The loans’ terms are between 5 and 36 months and are classified as current and non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with 6.50% to 11.25% interest per annum. All unpaid principal, accrued interest, and other amounts owing under the above notes are paid at maturity. These notes are collateralized with the Company receivables and other assets.

The convertible note was scheduled to mature on March 18, 2026 and carries an interest rate of 9.75% per annum. The principal and prior accrued interest of the note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share. On October 31, 2024, the Company amended the agreement with the holder of the note to change its maturity to the earlier of the date that the Company lists its securities on a national stock exchange or March 31, 2025 and eliminated the conversion feature of the note.

7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Embeddedderivatives

The Company’s convertible promissory note dated August 26, 2025 gave rise to derivative financial instruments. The notes embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. These terms and features consist of the embedded conversion option.

The following tables summarize the components of the Company’s derivative liabilities and linked common shares as of October 31, 2025 and the amounts that were reflected in income related to derivatives for the period ended:

October<br> 31, 2025
The financings giving rise to derivative financial instruments Indexed<br><br> Shares Fair<br><br> Values
Embedded<br> derivatives 393,717 $ 39,543
Total 393,717 $ 39,543

The following table summarizes the effects on the Company’s gain (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of the derivative financial instruments by type of financing for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024:

For<br> the Years Ended

Embedded derivatives $ 4,344 $ -
Loss on issuance<br> of derivative - -
Total gain (loss) $ 4,344 $ -

Current accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulation Model, which approximates the Monte Carlo Simulations, valuation technique to fair value the embedded derivative because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving embedded derivatives. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk-free rates. The Monte Carlo Simulation Model technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators. For instruments in which the time to expiration has expired, the Company has utilized the intrinsic value as the fair value. The intrinsic value is the difference between the quoted market price on the valuation date and the applicable conversion price.

Significant range of inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulation process are as follows for the embedded derivatives that have been bifurcated from the convertible notes and classified in liabilities:

**** **** Inception Date **** **** Period Ended ****
**** **** August 26, 2025 Note **** **** October 31, 2025 ****
Underlying<br> price on valuation date $ 0.79 - 1.03 $ 0.79 - 1.03

NOTE

8: STOCK OPTIONS

The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 1, 2018 and the Company amended the equity plan on December 17, 2023. In conjunction with the recapitalization and effective January 3, 2024, the Company adopted the Heliospace 2018 Equity Plan as the Company’s Plan (“Equity Plan”). On August 19, 2025, the Company adopted the Helio Corporation 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), which was also approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 19, 2025. The 2025 Plan is intended to assist the Company in recruiting and retaining employees, officers, directors, and consultants, and to provide incentives tied to increases in the value of the Company’s equity. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the 2025 Plan will terminate on August 19, 2035, and no awards may be granted after that date.

The Equity Plan limits the shares of common stock authorized to be awarded as stock awards to 2,382,352 shares as of October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. Employees are provided stock options vesting over a period of four years with a one-year cliff. After one year, 25% of the award size vests followed by 1/48^th^ of the award size for each month thereafter. On a case-by-case basis, options have been granted outright with no vest period.

Due to the change-in-control transaction described in Note 1, there was a recapitalization for which the Company’s stock options were adjusted for the new capital structure. The Company adjusted each of the granted options a 0.612 factor.

During the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 478,340 and 239,990 stock options granted, respectively.

The grant date fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average inputs:

Risk free interest rate 3.88 %
Expected term (years) 4.63
Expected volatility 60.10 %
Expected dividends 0.00 %

10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


LegalProceedings

The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings, the resolution of which the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows. However, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on its business, financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.

NOTE

11: INCOME TAXES

There was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, because the Company carried forward net losses for tax purposes.

The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024:

October 31, 2025 October<br> 31, <br><br> 2024
Federal income taxes at statutory<br> rate 21.00 % 21.00 %
State income taxes at statutory rate 7.12 % 9.76 %
Change in valuation allowance (26.62 )% (26.62 )%
Other (1.51 )% (1.51 )%
Totals - - %

Deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 consist of the following components:

ROU Assets (1,527 ) 214,006
Depreciation (10,772 ) (17,113 )
Net deferred tax<br> assets $ - $ -

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income. Current tax laws limit the Company’s ability to utilize these carryforwards. Because the Company’s realization of the deferred tax assets is not certain, the Company fully offset the deferred tax assets resulting from these carryforwards with a valuation allowance. The Company has approximately $1,180,000 of federal and state net operating loss carrying forwards to offset future federal taxable income as of October 31, 2025.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions taken when filing its tax returns if it is more likely than not that the tax authorities will not uphold the position based on current tax law. As of October 31, 2025, the company has not identified any uncertain tax positions.

13: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company conducts its business activities and reports financial results as one business segment. The presentation of financial results as one reportable segment is consistent with the way the Company operates its business and is consistent with the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, the Company notes that monitoring financial results as one reportable segment helps the CODM manage costs on a consolidated basis, consistent with the integrated nature of the operations. The CODM uses net loss, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, in evaluating the performance of the Company and determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole. As the CODM evaluates performance on a consolidated basis, all required financial segment information is included in the consolidated financial statements.

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DisclosureControls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of October 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, which did not provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed under the Exchange Act was timely recorded, processed, summarized, and reported.

Management’sReport on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As of October 31, 2025, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses, including insufficient financial reporting personnel with appropriate technical accounting expertise, inadequate review and oversight of non-routine transactions, and ineffective controls over the financial statement close process.

Management is in the process of implementing remediation measures to address these material weaknesses, including the engagement of financial consultants with technical accounting expertise, enhancements to internal review and approval procedures, improvements to journal entry controls, and the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer subsequent to fiscal year end. These remediation efforts are ongoing, and management cannot provide assurance that these measures will fully remediate the material weaknesses.

Because the Company is a non-accelerated filer, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting has not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Compensation Committee has Bruce Campbell serving as chair, and with directors Mario Noel Martinez and Vik Parti as members. Each of our Compensation Committee members qualify as independent directors under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American.

28

The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to assist our Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to:

the<br> establishment, maintenance and administration of compensation and benefit policies designed<br> to attract, motivate and retain personnel with the requisite skills and abilities to contribute<br> to our long term success;
setting<br> our compensation program and compensation of our executive officers, directors and key personnel;
--- ---
monitoring<br> our incentive compensation and equity-based compensation plans;
--- ---
succession<br> planning for our executive officers, directors and key personnel;
--- ---
our<br> compliance with the compensation rules, regulations and guidelines promulgated by, the SEC<br> and other law, as applicable; and
--- ---
preparing<br> the compensation committee report required to be included in our proxy statement under the<br> rules and regulations of the SEC.
--- ---

Our Board will adopt a written charter for the Compensation Committee.


CompensationCommittee Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee has at any time been one of our executive officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the Compensation Committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.


DirectorIndependence

The Company is not currently listed on a national securities exchange and, as a result, is not subject to the director independence requirements of any such exchange. However, in evaluating the independence of its directors, the Board of Directors has considered independence standards substantially similar to those set forth in the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE American.

Under these standards, a director who is employed by the Company is not considered independent. A director is considered independent only if the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or indirectly, including as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. Ownership of a significant amount of the Company’s securities, by itself, does not constitute a material relationship.

Based on this evaluation, the Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Campbell, Mr. Parti and Mr. Martinez are independent directors. In making these determinations, the Board reviewed all relevant facts and circumstances known to it, including information provided by the directors in connection with questionnaires and interviews.

Codeof Conduct

We will adopt a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer and chief financial and accounting officer. Our Code of Conduct will be available on our website upon the completion of this offering. Our Code of Conduct will be a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our code of ethics on our website.


DirectorCompensation

We did not have any non-employee directors who received compensation for their service on our Board during fiscal year 2025 or 2024.

In 2026, each of our non-employee directors will be eligible to receive compensation for his or her service on our Board consisting of annual cash retainers payable in monthly installments, along with restricted stock, each in an amount to be reasonably determined by the Board. In addition, non-employee directors who serve as Chair of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee will be eligible for additional compensation as determined by the Board.

Our directors will be reimbursed for travel, food, lodging and other expenses directly related to their activities as directors. Our directors are also entitled to the protection provided by the indemnification provisions in our Bylaws. Our Board may revise the compensation arrangements for our directors from time to time.

EmergingGrowth Company Status

As an emerging growth company, we are currently exempt from certain requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and to provide information relating to the ratio of total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, each as required by the Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.


EmploymentAgreements

As of October 31, 2025, the Company did not have any written employment agreements with its executive officers or directors.

Subsequent to fiscal year end, the Company entered into employment agreements with Edward Cabrera, in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Knauf, in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer.

EmploymentAgreement with Edward Cabrera (Chief Executive Officer)

In January 2026, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Edward Cabrera, pursuant to which Mr. Cabrera was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

Under the agreement, the Company issued Mr. Cabrera 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon execution of the agreement. Mr. Cabrera is entitled to receive a nominal annual salary of $1, with any future cash compensation subject to determination by the Company’s Board of Directors based on performance or other criteria.

30

The agreement provides that Mr. Cabrera may be terminated for cause, resigned voluntarily, or terminated without cause, in each case subject to the terms of the agreement. In the event of a termination without cause, constructive termination, termination by mutual agreement, death, or disability, Mr. Cabrera may be entitled to continued compensation and benefits for a specified period following termination, as set forth in the agreement.

EmploymentAgreement with Mark Knauf (Chief Financial Officer)

In January 2026, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mark Knauf, pursuant to which Mr. Knauf was appointed Chief Financial Officer. The agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

Under the agreement, Mr. Knauf is eligible to receive 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, vesting quarterly over a one-year period, subject to continued service. In addition, upon the Company raising an aggregate of $10 million in financing, Mr. Knauf will be entitled to receive a monthly salary of $10,000, with any future adjustments determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The agreement provides for termination by the Company for cause, voluntary resignation by Mr. Knauf, or termination without cause.

RetirementBenefits

We do not have a defined benefit pension plan or nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Heliospace provided a retirement plan through July 2025 intended to provide benefits under Section 401(k) of the Code (as defined below), pursuant to which employees, including the Named Executive Officers, can make or have made voluntary pre-tax contributions. Heliospace provided matching contributions to all eligible employees, including our Named Executive Officers. All contributions under the plan are subject to certain annual dollar limitations, which are periodically adjusted for changes in the cost of living. Heliospace intends to restart a retirement plan in Q2 of 2026 as the company scales in both personnel and revenue.

DirectorCompensation Arrangements

The Company did not have any non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and no compensation was paid to any director for service on the Board during that fiscal year.

Subsequent to fiscal year end, the Company entered into Board of Directors agreements with its independent directors. On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a Board of Directors agreement with Vikas “Vik” Parti, and on January 26, 2026, the Company entered into Board of Directors agreements with Mario Martinez and Bruce T. Campbell. Under these agreements, each independent director is eligible to receive equity compensation with an annual grant value of $100,000, payable in quarterly installments in the form of restricted stock units, subject to approval under the Company’s equity incentive plan, as well as reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with service on the Board.

PotentialPayments Upon Termination or Change in Control

None.


EquityIncentive Plan


The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on July 1, 2018 and the Company amended the equity plan on December 17, 2023. In conjunction with the recapitalization and effective January 3, 2024, the Company adopted the Heliospace 2018 Equity Plan as the Company’s Plan (“Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan limits the shares of common stock authorized to be awarded as stock awards to 2,382,352 shares as of October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. Employees are provided stock options vesting over a period of four years with a one-year cliff. After one year, 25% of the award size vests followed by 1/48^th^ of the award size for each month thereafter. On a case-by-case basis, options have been granted outright with no vest period.


HelioCorporation 2025 Equity Incentive Plan


On August 19, 2025, the Company adopted the Helio Corporation 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), which was also approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 19, 2025. The 2025 Plan is intended to assist the Company in recruiting and retaining employees, officers, directors, and consultants, and to provide incentives tied to increases in the value of the Company’s equity. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the 2025 Plan will terminate on August 19, 2035, and no awards may be granted after that date.

Administration. The 2025 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), unless and until the Board delegates administration to a committee of one or more Board members. Subject to the terms of the 2025 Plan, the administrator has broad discretion to determine eligible participants, the type of award granted, the number of shares subject to awards, vesting schedules, exercise prices (if applicable), and other terms and conditions, and to interpret and administer the 2025 Plan and award agreements. The 2025 Plan permits certain actions that may be treated as “repricing,” including reductions in option exercise prices and cancellation and replacement of options, subject to the consent of adversely affected optionholders and the other limitations set forth in the 2025 Plan.

31

Sharesavailable for issuance; automatic “evergreen” increase. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under the 2025 Plan is 2,250,000 shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events. Beginning with the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026, the share reserve is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first trading day of each fiscal year so that the aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2025 Plan equals 20% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal year, reduced by the number of shares then reserved and available for issuance under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as further described in the 2025 Plan). Shares generally return to the reserve if awards expire, terminate, are forfeited, or are repurchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Plan.

Eligibility. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. Other awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. The 2025 Plan also contains limitations applicable to “ten percent stockholders,” including a higher minimum exercise price and a shorter maximum term for incentive stock options.

Typesof awards. The 2025 Plan authorizes the grant of a variety of equity-based awards, including:

Incentive<br> stock options (ISOs) and nonstatutory qualified stock options (“NQSOs);
Restricted<br> stock awards (including stock bonuses);
--- ---
Stock<br> appreciation rights;
--- ---
Restricted<br> stock units (settled in shares of common stock or cash, as determined under the award terms);<br> and
--- ---
Performance<br> awards payable in shares, cash, or a combination thereof, based on performance goals established<br> by the administrator.
--- ---

Optionterms. Options generally may not have a term longer than 10 years from the grant date (or 5 years for incentive stock options granted to ten percent stockholders). The exercise price per share generally may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the grant date (or 110% for incentive stock options granted to ten percent stockholders). The 2025 Plan permits several methods of paying the exercise price, including cash, delivery of previously owned shares (subject to holding period requirements in certain cases), deferred payment arrangements (subject to limitations), “net exercise” arrangements, promissory notes with full recourse, or other lawful consideration acceptable to the Board. Options typically terminate following cessation of service, subject to post-termination exercise periods that vary based on the reason for termination (including death or disability) and the terms of the applicable award agreement.

Restrictedstock and other awards. Restricted stock awards may be subject to vesting conditions and may include Company repurchase rights with respect to unvested shares, subject to limitations under the 2025 Plan. Restricted stock units represent the right to receive one share of common stock (or the value thereof in cash) upon vesting and settlement. Stock appreciation rights provide the right to receive the appreciation in the Company’s common stock (in shares, cash, or a combination), as determined by the administrator.

Adjustmentsand corporate transactions. The 2025 Plan provides for equitable adjustments to the share reserve and outstanding awards in the event of stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and similar events. In connection with a corporate transaction (including a change of control), the administrator may take a variety of actions with respect to outstanding awards, including assumption or substitution of awards, acceleration of vesting or exercisability, cancellation in exchange for cash or other consideration (which may be zero in certain circumstances), and other actions permitted by the 2025 Plan.

Withholdingand other provisions. Award agreements generally require participants to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations, including through share withholding, cash payment, or other permitted methods. The 2025 Plan includes provisions intended to support compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and provides that awards are subject to any clawback or recoupment policies adopted by the Company and applicable law, including Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 requirements and any applicable listing standards. The 2025 Plan is governed by Florida law.

Arbitration. The 2025 Plan provides that disputes relating to awards or the 2025 Plan are to be resolved through binding and confidential arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in Berkeley, California, with arbitration fees paid by the Company, and permits the arbitrator to award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement with Mr. Delory, promissory notes held by Mr. Delory in an aggregate outstanding amount of $315,188, consisting of $288,281 in principal and $26,908 in accrued and payable interest, were cancelled in exchange for 2,204,561 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Related person transactions are reviewed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, or by the Audit Committee Chair, as applicable, prior to entry into such transactions, or, if not approved in advance, are submitted for ratification. In reviewing and approving any related person transaction, the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee Chair considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the material terms of the transaction, the purpose of the transaction, the availability of alternative arrangements with unrelated third parties, and whether the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Any director or officer who has an interest in a related person transaction is required to recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval of such transaction.

The Company intends to adopt a formal written policy for the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions and to administer such policy through its Audit Committee following the completion of the Committee’s formation.

As part of its responsibility for oversight of the independent registered public accountants, the board of directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. In accordance with this policy, each type of audit, audit related, tax and other permitted service to be provided by the independent auditors is specifically described and each service. The fees are budgeted and the board of directors requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.

Merchant hereby sells, assigns, and transfers to [LENDER] (making [LENDER] the absolute owner) in consideration of the Purchase Price specified above, the Purchased Percentage of all of Merchant’s future accounts, contract rights and other entitlements arising from or relating to the payment of monies from Merchant’s customer’s and/or other third party payors (the “Receipts” defined as all payments made by cash, check, electronic transfer or other form of monetary payment in the ordinary course of the Merchant’s business), for the payments due to Merchant as a result of Merchant’s sale of goods and/or services (the “Transactions”) until the Purchased Amount has been delivered by or on behalf of Merchant to [LENDER].

Merchant is selling a portion of a future revenue stream to [LENDER] at a discount, not borrowing money from [LENDER], therefore there is no interest rate or payment schedule and no time period during which the Purchased Amount must be collected by [LENDER].

[LENDER] is entering this Agreement knowing the risks that Merchant’s business may slow down or fail, and [LENDER] assumes these risks based on Merchant’s representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement, which are designed to give [LENDER] a reasonable and fair opportunity to receive the benefit of its bargain. Merchant and Guarantor are only guaranteeing their performance of the terms of this Revenue Purchase Agreement, and are not guaranteeing the payment of the Purchased Amount. The initial Remittance shall be as described above. The Remittance is subject to adjustment as set forth in Paragraph 1.4.

Merchant hereby authorizes [LENDER] to ACH debit the Agreed Remittance from the Account on the agreed upon Payment Frequency; a daily basis means any day that is not a United States banking holiday. [LENDER]’s payment of the Purchase Price shall be deemed the acceptance and performance by [LENDER] of this Agreement. Merchant understands that it is responsible for ensuring that the Agreed Remittance to be debited by [LENDER] remains in the Account and will be held responsible for any fees incurred by [LENDER] resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default. [LENDER] is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from [LENDER]’s ACH debiting the Agreed Remittance under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement be- tween [LENDER] and Merchant, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 3 of the MERCHANT AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS the Purchased Percentage shall equal 100%. A list of all fees applicable under this Agreement is contained in Appendix A.

Guarantor(s) will not be personally liable for any amount due under this Agreement unless Merchant commits an Event of Default pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 of this Agreement. Each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable for all amounts owed to [LENDER] in the Event of Default. Guarantor(s) guarantee Merchant’s good faith, truthfulness and performance of all of the representations, warranties, covenants made by Merchant in this Agreement as each may be renewed, amended, extended or otherwise modified (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor’s obligations are due at the time of any breach by Merchant of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Merchant in theAgreement.

Guarantor Waivers. In the event of a breach of the above, [LENDER] may seek recovery from Guarantors for all of [LENDER]’s losses and damages by enforcement of [LENDER]’s rights under this Agreement without first seeking to obtain payment from Merchant, any other guarantor, or any Collateral or Additional Collateral [LENDER] may hold pursuant to this Agreement or any other guaranty.

[LENDER] does not have to notify Guarantor of any of the following events and Guarantor will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement if it is not notified of: (i) Merchant’s failure to pay timely any amount required under the Merchant Agreement; (ii) any adverse change in Merchant’s financial condition or business; (iii) any sale or other disposition of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) [LENDER]’s acceptance of this Agreement; and (v) any renewal, extension or other modification of the Merchant Agreement or Merchant’s other obligations to [LENDER]. In addition, [LENDER] may take any of the following actions without releasing Guarantor from any of its obligations under this Agreement: (i) renew, extend or otherwise modify the Merchant Agreement or Merchant’s other obligations to [LENDER]; (ii) release Merchant from its obligations to [LENDER]; (iii) sell, release, impair, waive or otherwise fail to realize upon any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (iv) foreclose on any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations in a manner that impairs or precludes the right of Guarantor to obtain reimbursement for payment under this Agreement. Until the Purchased Amount and Merchant’s other obligations to [LENDER] under the Merchant Agreement and this Agreement are paid in full, Guarantor shall not seek reimbursement from Merchant or any other guarantor for any amounts paid by it under this Agreement. Guarantor permanently waives and shall not seek to exercise any of the following rights that it may have against Merchant, any other guarantor, or any collateral provided by Merchant or any other guarantor, for any amounts paid by it, or acts performed by it, under this Agreement: (i) subordination; (ii) reimbursement; (iii) performance; (iv) indemnification; or (v) contribution. In the event that [LENDER] must return any amount paid by Merchant or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations because that person has become subject to a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement shall include that amount.

GuarantorAcknowledgement. The terms of section 4.5 in the Agreement shall also apply to Guarantor. [LENDER] may serve Guarantor with process via certified mail be depositing into a United States Postal Service depositary, a properly postage envelope addressed to Guarantor at his or her last know address (or such other address that Guarantor specifically requests in writing that [LENDER] utilize for this purpose). Guarantor acknowledges that: (i) He/She is bound by the Class Action Waiver provision in the Merchant Agreement Terms and Conditions; (ii) He/She understands the seriousness of the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) He/She has had a full opportunity to consult with counsel of his/her choice; and (iii) He/She has consulted with counsel of its choice or has decided not to avail himself/herself of that opportunity.

TERMSAND CONDITIONS


**1.**Sale of Future Receipts. Merchant(s) hereby sell, assign, and transfer to [LENDER] (making [LENDER] the absolute owner) in consideration of the funds provided (“Purchase Price”) specified above, all of each Merchant’s future accounts, contract rights, and other obligations arising from or relating to the payment of monies from each Merchant’s customers and/or other third party payors (the “Receivables”, defined as all payments made by cash, check, credit or debit card, electronic transfer, or other form of monetary payment in the ordinary course of each merchant’s business), for the payment of each Merchant’s sale of goods or services until the amount specified above (the “Receivables Purchased Amount”) has been delivered by Merchant(s) to [LENDER]. Each Merchant hereby acknowledges that until the Receivables Purchased Amount has been received in full by [LENDER], each Merchant’s Receivables, up to the balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount, are the property of [LENDER] and not the property of any Merchant. Each Merchant agrees that it is a fiduciary for [LENDER] and that each Merchant will hold Receivables in trust for [LENDER] in its capacity as a fiduciary for [LENDER].

The Receivables Purchased Amount shall be paid to [LENDER] by each Merchant irrevocably authorizing only one depositing account acceptable to [LENDER] (the “Account”) to remit the percentage specified above (the “Specified Percentage”) of each Merchant’s settlement amounts due from each transaction, until such time as [LENDER] receives payment in full of the Receivables Purchased Amount. Each Merchant hereby authorizes [LENDER] to ACH debit in one or more ACH transactions the specified remittances and any applicable fees listed in Section 2 from the Account on a daily basis (unless a different frequency is provided for herein) as of the next business day after the date of this Agreement and will provide [LENDER] with all required logins, passwords, access codes, and monthly bank statements. Each Merchant understands that it will be held responsible for any fees resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default (see Section 2). [LENDER] is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from [LENDER]’s ACH debiting the Specified Percentage amounts under the terms of this Agreement. Each Merchant acknowledges and agrees that until the amount of the Receivables collected by [LENDER] exceeds the amount of the Purchase Price, [LENDER] will be permitted not to treat any amount collected under this Agreement as profit for taxation and accounting purposes.


2.Additional Fees. In addition to the Receivables Purchased Amount, each Merchant will be held responsible to [LENDER] for the following fees, where applicable:

A. $5,000.00 - Origination Fee. This will be deducted from payment of the Purchase Price.
B. Wire Fee - Merchant(s) shall receive funding electronically to the<br>Account and will be charged $50.00 for a Fed Wire or $0.00 for a bank ACH. This will be deducted from payment of the Purchase Price.
--- ---
C. NSF/Rejected ACH Fee - $100.00 for each time an ACH debit to the Account by [LENDER] is returned
--- ---

or otherwise rejected. No Merchant will be held responsible for such a fee if any Merchant gives [LENDER] notice no more than one business day in advance that the Account will have insufficient funds to be debited by [LENDER] and no Merchant is otherwise in default of the terms of the Agreement. Each such fee may be deducted from any payment collected by [LENDER] or may be collected in addition to any other payment collected by [LENDER] under this Agreement.

D. Default Fee - $5,000.00 -<br>if an Event of Default has taken place under Section 30.
E. UCC Fee - $195.00 – to cover [LENDER] filing a UCC-1 financing<br>statement to secure its interest in the Receivables Purchased Amount. A $195.00 UCC termination fee will be charged if a UCC filing is<br>terminated.
--- ---
F. $_______ - compliance with applicable disclosure requirements. This will be deducted from<br> payment of the Purchase Price.
--- ---
G. Monthly Service Fee. Unless waived by Buyer, Seller agrees<br>to pay a monthly service fee of $299.00 per month until the full Purchased Amount is delivered to Buyer.
--- ---
H. Court costs, arbitration fees, collection agency fees, attorney<br>fees, expert fees, and any other expenses incurred in litigation, arbitration, or the enforcement of any of [LENDER]’s legal or contractual<br>rights against each Merchant and/or each Guarantor, if required, as explained in other Sections of this Agreement.
--- ---

3. Estimated Payments**.** Instead of debiting the Specified Percentage of Merchant’s Receivables, [LENDER] may instead debit an “Estimated Payment” from the Account every WEEK. The Estimated Payment is intended to be an approximation of no more than the Specified Percentage. The initial amount of the Estimated Payment is $4,996.67, subject to reconciliation as set forth in Section 4. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, [LENDER] is permitted to debit the Account to make up for a previous Estimated Payment that was not debited because [LENDER] was closed that day, to make up for any previous Estimated Payment that was not collected because the debit did not clear for any reason, to collect any amount due resulting from a reconciliation as set forth in Section 4, to collect any of the fees listed in Section 2, or to collect any amount due as a result of an Event of Default defined in Section 30.

Page 2 of 20

Upon one day’s advance written notice to Merchant(s), [LENDER] may elect to change the frequency of the Estimated Payment as applicable from daily to weekly or from weekly to daily. If the frequency of the Estimated Payment is being changed from weekly to daily, then the amount of the daily Estimated Payment will be one fifth of the amount of the weekly Estimated Payment. If the frequency of the Estimated Payment is being changed from daily to weekly, then the amount of the weekly Estimated Payment will be five times of the amount of the daily Estimated Payment. No Estimated Payment will be debited on a daily basis during a week in which a weekly payment was already successfully collected. If any Estimated Payment was debited from the Account on a daily basis, then any Estimated Payment debited on a weekly basis during that week must be reduced by the total of all daily payments already successfully collected for that week so that the debit for that weekly Estimated Payment will not exceed the amount that could be collected if all Estimated Payments for that week were debited on a daily basis.


4.Reconciliation****s. Any Merchant may contact [LENDER]’s Reconciliation Department to request that [LENDER] conduct a reconciliation in order to ensure that the amount that [LENDER] has collected equals the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables under this Agreement. A request for a reconciliation by any Merchant must be made by giving written notice of the request to [LENDER] or by sending an e-mail to info@[LENDER]fundingsource.com stating that a reconciliation is being requested. In order to effectuate the reconciliation, any Merchant must produce with its request any and all statements covering the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of the request for a reconciliation and, if available, the login and password for the Account. [LENDER] will complete each reconciliation requested by any Merchant within two business days after receipt of proper notice of a request for one accompanied by the information and documents required for it. [LENDER] may also conduct a reconciliation on its own at any time by reviewing Merchant(s)’s Receivables covering the period from the date of this Agreement until the date of initiation of the reconciliation, each such reconciliation will be completed within two business days after its initiation, and [LENDER] will give each Merchant written notice of the determination made based on the reconciliation within one business day after its completion. If a reconciliation determines that [LENDER] collected more than it was entitled to, then [LENDER] will credit to the Account all amounts to which [LENDER] was not entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, decrease the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation. If a reconciliation determines that [LENDER] collected less than it was entitled to, then [LENDER] will debit from the Account all additional amounts to which [LENDER] was entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, increase the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation. Nothing herein limits the amount of times that a reconciliation may be requested or conducted.


5.Merchant Deposit Agreement. Merchant(s) shall appoint a bank acceptable to [LENDER], to obtain electronic fund transfer services and/or “ACH” payments. Merchant(s) shall provide [LENDER] and/or its authorized agent with all of the information, authorizations, and passwords necessary to verify each Merchant’s Receivables. Merchant(s) shall authorize [LENDER] and/or its agent(s) to deduct the amounts owed to [LENDER] for the Receivables as specified herein from settlement amounts which would otherwise be due to each Merchant and to pay such amounts to [LENDER] by permitting [LENDER] to withdraw the Specified Percentage by ACH debiting of the account. The authorization shall be irrevocable as to each Merchant absent [LENDER]’s written consent until the Receivables Purchased Amount has been paid in full or the Merchant becomes bankrupt or goes out of business without any prior default under this Agreement.

6.Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement is indefinite and shall continue until [LENDER] receives the full Receivables Purchased Amount, or earlier if terminated pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

[LENDER] may use automated telephone dialing, text messaging systems, and e-mail to provide messages to Merchant(s), Owner(s) (Owner being defined as each person who signs this Agreement on behalf of a Merchant), and Guarantor(s) about Merchant(s)’s account. Telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by an Owner, a Guarantor, or someone else. These messages may also be recorded by the recipient’s answering machine or voice mail. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor gives [LENDER] permission to call or send a text message to any telephone number given to [LENDER] in connection with this Agreement and to play pre-recorded messages and/or send text messages with information about this Agreement and/ or any Merchant’s account over the phone. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor also gives [LENDER] permission to communicate such information to them by e-mail. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor agree that [LENDER] will not be liable to any of them for any such calls or electronic communications, even if information is communicated to an unintended recipient. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor acknowledge that when they receive such calls or electronic communications, they may incur a charge from the company that provides them with telecommunications, wireless, and/or Internet services, and that [LENDER] has no liability for any such charges.


10.Accuracy of Information Furnished by Merchant and Investigation Thereof. To the extent set forth herein, each of the parties is obligated upon his, her, or its execution of the Agreement to all terms of the Agreement. Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement represent that he or she is authorized to sign this Agreement for each Merchant, legally binding said Merchant to its obligations under this Agreement and that the information provided herein and in all of [LENDER]’s documents, forms, and recorded interview(s) is true, accurate, and complete in all respects. [LENDER] may produce a monthly statement reflecting the delivery of the Specified Percentage of Receivables from Merchant(s) to [LENDER]. An investigative report may be made in connection with the Agreement. Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement authorize [LENDER], its agents and representatives, and any credit-reporting agency engaged by [LENDER], to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements obtained from or about each Merchant or any of its Owners for the purpose of this Agreement, and (ii) pull credit report at any time now or for so long as any Merchant and/or Owners(s) continue to have any obligation to [LENDER] under this Agreement or for [LENDER]’s ability to determine any Merchant’s eligibility to enter into any future agreement with [LENDER]. Any misrepresentation made by any Merchant or Owner in connection with this Agreement may constitute a separate claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Authorizationfor soft pulls: Each Merchant and each Owner understands that by signing this Agreement, they are providing ‘written instructions’ to [LENDER] under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, authorizing [LENDER] to obtain information from their personal credit profile or other information from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax.

Page 4 of 20

13.No Liability. In no event will [LENDER] be liable for any claims asserted by any Merchant under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, each of which is waived by each Merchant and each Guarantor.


14.Sale of Receivables. Each Merchant and [LENDER] agree that the Purchase Price under this Agreement is in exchange for the Receivables Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan from [LENDER] to any Merchant. [LENDER] is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that each Merchant’s business may decline or fail, resulting in [LENDER] not receiving the Receivables Purchased Amount. Any Merchant going bankrupt, going out of business, or experiencing a slowdown in business or a delay in collecting Receivables will not on its own without anything more be considered a breach of this Agreement. Each Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price in exchange for the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement equals the fair market value of such Receivables. [LENDER] has purchased and shall own all the Receivables described in this Agreement up to the full Receivables Purchased Amount as the Receivables are created. Payments made to [LENDER] in respect to the full amount of the Receivables shall be conditioned upon each Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefor by each Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in this Agreement. Each Merchant and each Guarantor acknowledges that [LENDER] does not purchase, sell, or offer to purchase or sell securities and that this Agreement is not a security, an offer to sell any security, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Although certain jurisdictions require the disclosure of an Annual Percentage Rate or APR in connection with this Agreement, those disclosures do not change the fact that the transaction encompassed by this Agreement is not a loan and does not have an interest rate. If a court or arbitrator determines that [LENDER] has charged or received interest under this Agreement in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law, then the rate in effect under this Agreement will automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and [LENDER] will promptly refund to Merchant(s) any amount received by [LENDER] that would otherwise be considered interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate, with it being intended that Merchant(s) not pay or contract to pay and that [LENDER] not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Merchant(s) or received by [LENDER] under applicable law.

15. Powerof Attorney. Each Merchant irrevocably appoints [LENDER] as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to [LENDER] for the benefit of each Merchant and only in order to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default (as described in Section 30). If an Event of Default takes place under Section 30, then each Merchant irrevocably appoints [LENDER] as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to [LENDER] from each Merchant, including without limitation (i) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral (which is defined in Section 29); (ii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents, or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) above; (iii) to sign each Merchant’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to [LENDER]; and (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which [LENDER] may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Receivables Purchased Amount from the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Receivables Purchased Amount.

16.Protections Against Default. The following Protections 1 through 6 may be invoked by [LENDER], immediately and without notice to any Merchant if any Event of Default listed in Section 30 has occurred.

Protection 1: The full uncollected Receivables Purchased Amount plus all fees due under this Agreement may become due and payable in full immediately.

Protection 2. [LENDER] may enforce the provisions of the Guarantee against Guarantor. Protection 3. [LENDER] may enforce its security interest in the Collateral identified in Section 29.

Protection 4. [LENDER] may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies by litigation or arbitration.

Any employee, agent, attorney, member, manager, officer, subsidiary, affiliate entity, successor, or assign of [LENDER] may elect to have any action or dispute with any Merchant or any Guarantor determined by arbitration as if that employee, agent, attorney, member, manager, officer, subsidiary, affiliate entity, successor, or assign of [LENDER] was a party to the arbitration agreement contained herein. Any party to a lawsuit in which [LENDER] and any Merchant or any Guarantor are parties may elect to have the matter determined by arbitration as if that party was a party to the arbitration agreement contained herein.

PurchasePrice: $: 60,000.00 Specified Percentage: 4.44% Specific: WEEKLY Amount: $4,996.66 Purchased Amount: $89,940.00

Merchant may use the Purchase Price solely for businesspurposes and not for personal, family or household purposes. Merchant is selling a portion of a future revenue stream to [LENDER] at a discount, not borrowing money from [LENDER]. There is no interest rate or payment schedule and no time period during which the Purchased Amount must be collected by [LENDER]. Merchant going bankrupt or going out of business, in and of itself, does not constitute a breach of this Agreement. [LENDER] is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that Merchant’s business may slow down or fail, and [LENDER] assumes these risks based on Merchant’s representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement, which are designed to give [LENDER] a reasonable and fair opportunity to receive the benefit of its bargain.

[LENDER] will debit the Specific Amount each business day from only one depositing bank account, which account must be acceptable to, and pre-approved by, [LENDER] (the “Account”) into which Merchant and Merchant’s customers shall remit the Receipts from each Transaction, until such time as [LENDER] receives payment in full of the Purchased Amount. If Merchant’s bank is closed on a business day, then [LENDER] will debit the Specific Amount for that day on the next business day in addition to the regularly scheduled debit. Merchant hereby authorizes [LENDER] to ACH debit the Specific Amount from the Account on a daily basis. [LENDER]’s payment of the Purchase Price shall be deemed the acceptance and performance by [LENDER] of this Agreement. Merchant understands that it is responsible for ensuring that the Specific Amount to be debited by [LENDER] remains in the Account and will be held responsible for any fees incurred by [LENDER] resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default. [LENDER] is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from [LENDER]’s ACH debiting the Specific Amount under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement between [LENDER] and Merchant, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 3 of the MERCHANT AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS the Specified Percentage shall equal 100%. A list of all fees applicable under this Agreement is contained in Appendix A.

THE MERCHANT AGREEMENT “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”, THE “SECURITY AGREEMENT AND GUARANTY” AND THE “ADMINISTRATIVE FORM HEREOF, ARE ALL HEREBY INCORPORATED IN AND MADE A PART OF THIS MERCHANT AGREEMENT.

[LENDER] has purchased and shall own all the Receipts described in this Agreement up to the full Purchased Amount as the Receipts are created. Payments made to [LENDER] in respect to the full amount of the Receipts shall be conditioned upon Merchant’ s sale of products and service s, and the payment therefore by Merchant’s customers. In no event shall the aggregate of all amounts or any portion thereof be deemed as interest hereunder, and in the event it is found to be interest despite the parties hereto specifically representing that it is NOT interest, - it shall be found that no sum charged or collected hereunder shall exceed the highest rate permissible at law. In the event that a court nonetheless determines that [LENDER] has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and [LENDER] shall promptly refund to Merchant any interest received by [LENDER] in excess of the maximum lawful rate , it being intended that Merchant not pay or contract to pay, and that [LENDER] not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Merchant under applicable law.

Guarantor Waivers. In the event of a breach of the above, [LENDER] may seek recovery from Guarantors for all of [LENDER]’s losses and damages by enforcement of [LENDER]’s rights under this Agreement without first seeking to obtain payment from Merchant, any other guarantor, or any Collateral or Additional Collateral [LENDER] may hold pursuant to this Agreement or any other guaranty.

STANDARD MERCHANT CASH ADVANCE AGREEMENT


TERMS AND CONDITIONS


**1.**Saleof Future Receipts. Merchant(s) hereby sell, assign, and transfer to FUNDER (making FUNDER the absolute owner) in consideration of the funds provided (“Purchase Price”) specified above, all of each Merchant’s future accounts, contract rights, and other obligations arising from or relating to the payment of monies from each Merchant’s customers and/or other third party payors (the “Receivables”, defined as all payments made by cash, check, credit or debit card, electronic transfer, or other form of monetary payment in the ordinary course of each Merchant’s business), for the payment of each Merchant’s sale of goods or services until the amount specified above (the “Receivables Purchased Amount”) has been delivered by Merchant(s) to FUNDER. Each Merchant hereby acknowledges that until the Receivables Purchased Amount has been received in full by FUNDER, each Merchant’s Receivables, up to the balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount, are the property of FUNDER and not the property of any Merchant. Each Merchant agrees that it is a fiduciary for FUNDER and that each Merchant will hold Receivables in trust for FUNDER in its capacity as a fiduciary for FUNDER.

The Receivables Purchased Amount shall be paid to FUNDER by each Merchant irrevocably authorizing only one depositing account acceptable to FUNDER (the “Account”) to remit the percentage specified above (the “Specified Percentage”) of each Merchant’s settlement amounts due from each transaction, until such time as FUNDER receives payment in full of the Receivables Purchased Amount. Each Merchant hereby authorizes FUNDER to ACH debit in one or more ACH transactions the specified remittances and any applicable fees listed in Section 2 from the Account on a daily basis (unless a different frequency is provided for herein) as of the next business day (or designated day of each week in the case of weekly payments) after the date of this Agreement and will provide FUNDER with all required logins, passwords, access codes, and monthly bank (or credit union) statements. Each Merchant understands that it will be held responsible for any fees resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default (see Section 2). FUNDER is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from FUNDER’s ACH debiting the Specified Percentage amounts under the terms of this Agreement. Each Merchant acknowledges and agrees that until the amount of the Receivables collected by FUNDER on a cash basis as opposed to on an accrual basis exceeds the amount of the Purchase Price, FUNDER will be permitted not to treat any amount collected under this Agreement as profit for taxation and accounting purposes.

2.Additional Fees. In addition to the Receivables Purchased Amount, each Merchant will be held responsible to FUNDER for the following fees, where applicable:

A. $7,200 - Origination Fee. This will be deducted from<br>payment of the Purchase Price.
B. Wire Fee -<br>Merchant(s) shall receive funding electronically to the Account and will be charged $50.00 for a Fed Wire or $0.00 for a bank<br>ACH. This will be deducted from payment of the Purchase Price.
--- ---
C. NSF/Rejected ACH Fee - $50.00 for each time an ACH debit to<br>the Account by FUNDER is returned or otherwise rejected. No Merchant will be held responsible for such a fee if any Merchant gives FUNDER<br>notice no more than one business day in advance that the Account will have insufficient funds to be debited by FUNDER and no Merchant<br>is otherwise in default of the terms of the Agreement. Each such fee may be deducted from any payment collected by FUNDER or may be collected<br>in addition to any other payment collected by FUNDER under this Agreement.
--- ---
D. Default Fee - $2,500.00 -<br>if an Event of Default has taken place under Section 30.
--- ---
E. UCC Fee -<br>$195.00 – to cover FUNDER filing a UCC-1 financing statement to secure its interest in the Receivables Purchased Amount.<br>If a UCC-1 financing statement is filed at the time this Agreement is funded, then the UCC Fee will be deducted from payment of the Purchase<br>Price. A $195.00 UCC termination fee will be charged if a UCC filing is terminated.
--- ---
F. $ 0 - compliance with applicable disclosure requirements. This will be deducted from payment<br> of the Purchase Price.
--- ---
G. Court costs, arbitration fees, collection agency fees, attorney<br>fees, expert fees, and any other expenses incurred in litigation, arbitration, or the enforcement of any of FUNDER’s legal or contractual<br>rights against each Merchant, if required, as explained in other Sections of this Agreement.
--- ---

3.Estimated Payments. Instead of debiting the Specified Percentage of Merchant’s Receivables, FUNDER may instead debit an “Estimated Payment” from the Account every week. The Estimated Payment is intended to be an approximation of no more than the Specified Percentage. The initial amount of the Estimated Payment is $5,000, subject to reconciliation as set forth in Section 4. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, FUNDER is permitted to debit the Account to make up for a previous Estimated Payment that was not debited because FUNDER was closed that day, to make up for any previous Estimated Payment that was not collected because the debit did not clear for any reason, to collect any amount due resulting from a reconciliation as set forth in Section 4, to collect any of the fees listed in Section 2, or to collect any amount due as a result of an Event of Default defined in Section 30.

9/30/2025
Page **2** of **21**

STANDARD MERCHANT CASH ADVANCE AGREEMENT

Upon one day’s advance written notice to Merchant(s), FUNDER may elect to change the frequency of the Estimated Payment as applicable from daily to weekly or from weekly to daily. If the frequency of the Estimated Payment is being changed from weekly to daily, then the amount of the daily Estimated Payment will be one fifth of the amount of the weekly Estimated Payment. If the frequency of the Estimated Payment is being changed from daily to weekly, then the amount of the weekly Estimated Payment will be five times of the amount of the daily Estimated Payment. No Estimated Payment will be debited on a daily basis during a week in which a weekly payment was already successfully collected. If any Estimated Payment was debited from the Account on a daily basis, then any Estimated Payment debited on a weekly basis during that week must be reduced by the total of all daily payments already successfully collected for that week so that the debit for that weekly Estimated Payment will not exceed the amount that could be collected if all Estimated Payments for that week were debited on a daily basis.

Reconciliations. Any Merchant may contact FUNDER’s Reconciliation Department to request that FUNDER conduct a reconciliation in order to ensure that the amount that FUNDER has collected equals the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables under this Agreement. A request for a reconciliation by any Merchant must be made by giving written notice of the request to FUNDER or by sending an e-mail to info@[LENDER]cap.com stating that reconciliation is being requested. In order to effectuate the reconciliation, any Merchant must produce with its request all bank (or, if applicable, credit union) statements (a month to date statement or equivalent thereof may be used to cover any period for which a monthly statement is not available) covering the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of th e request for a reconciliation and, if available, the login and password for the Account. If any Merchant has a merchant processing account, then FUNDER may give Merchant(s) written notice that all statements (a month to date statement or equivalent thereof may be used to cover any period for which a monthly statement is not available) for each such account covering the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of the request for a reconciliation must be submitted with the request for reconciliation. FUNDER will complete each reconciliation requested by any Merchant within two business days after receipt of proper notice of a request for one accompanied by the information and documents required for it. FUNDER may also conduct a reconciliation on its own at any time by reviewing Merchant(s)’s Receivables covering the period from the date of this Agreement until the date of initiation of the reconciliation, each such reconciliation will be completed within two business days after its initiation, and FUNDER will give each Merchant written notice of the determination made based on the reconciliation within one business day after its completion. If a reconciliation determines that FUNDER collected more than it was entitled to, then FUNDER will credit to the Account all amounts to which FUNDER was not entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, modify the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation. If a reconciliation determines that FUNDER collected less than it was entitled to, then FUNDER may debit from the Account all additional amounts to which FUNDER was entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, modify the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation.

Each Merchant jointly and severally indemnifies and holds harmless each Merchant’s credit card and check processors (collectively, “Processor”) and Processor’s officers, directors, and shareholders against all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney and expert fees) incurred by Processor resulting from (a) claims asserted by FUNDER for monies owed to FUNDER from any Merchant and (b) actions taken by any Processor in reliance upon information or instructions provided by FUNDER.

12.No Liability. In no event will FUNDER be liable for any claims asserted by any Merchant under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, each of which is waived by each Merchant.


13.Sale of Receivables. Each Merchant and FUNDER agree that the Purchase Price under this Agreement is in exchange for the Receivables Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan from FUNDER to any Merchant. FUNDER is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that each Merchant’s business may decline or fail, resulting in FUNDER not receiving the Receivables Purchased Amount. Any Merchant going bankrupt, going out of business, or experiencing a slowdown in business or a delay in collecting Receivables will not on its own without anything more be considered a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no act or omission by a Merchant after it goes out of business, during the pendency of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case in which the Merchant is a debtor, or after the Merchant is granted a discharge or the equivalent thereof in any bankruptcy case will cause that Merchant to be in default of this Agreement. Each Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price in exchange for the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement equals the fair market value of such Receivables. FUNDER has purchased and shall own all the Receivables described in this Agreement up to the full Receivables Purchased Amount as the Receivables are created. Payments made to FUNDER in respect to the full amount of the Receivables shall be conditioned upon each Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefor by each Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in this Agreement. Each Merchant acknowledges that FUNDER does not purchase, sell, or offer to purchase or sell securities and that this Agreement is not a security, an offer to sell any security, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Although certain jurisdictions require the disclosure of an Annual Percentage Rate or APR in connection with this Agreement, those disclosures do not change the fact that the transaction encompassed by this Agreement is not a loan and does not have an interest rate. If a court or arbitrator determines that FUNDER has charged or received interest under this Agreement in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law, then the rate in effect under this Agreement will automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and FUNDER will promptly refund to Merchant(s) any amount received by FUNDER that would otherwise be considered interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate, with it being intended that Merchant(s) not pay or contract to pay and that FUNDER not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Merchant(s) or received by FUNDER under applicable law.

14.Power of Attorney. Each Merchant irrevocably appoints FUNDER as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to FUNDER for the benefit of each Merchant and only in order to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default (as described in Section 30). If an Event of Default takes place under Section 30, then each Merchant irrevocably appoints FUNDER as its agent and attorney- in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to FUNDER from each Merchant, including without limitation (i) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral (which is defined in Section 29); (ii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents, or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) above; (iii) to sign each Merchant’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to FUNDER; and (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which FUNDER may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Receivables Purchased Amount from the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Receivables Purchased Amount.

G1.Guarantee of Performance. This is a guaranty of performance, dated 9/30/2025, of the Standard Merchant Cash Advance Agreement, dated 9/30/2025 (“Agreement”), inclusive of all addenda, if any, executed simultaneously therewith, by and between [LENDER] (“FUNDER”) and Heliospace Corporation (“Merchant”). The Agreement, inclusive of all addenda thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein. Each undersigned Guarantor (Guarantor being defined as any signatory to this Guarantee of the Agreement) hereby guarantees each Merchant’s performance of all of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by each Merchant to FUNDER in the Agreement, inclusive of all addenda, if any, executed simultaneously herewith, as the Agreement may be renewed, amended, extended, or otherwise modified (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor’s obligations are due at the time of any breach by any Merchant of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by any Merchant in the Agreement.


G2. Communications. FUNDER may choose to monitor and/or record telephone calls with any Guarantor and/or each Guarantor’s owners, employees, and agents. By signing this Guarantee, each Guarantor agrees that any call between FUNDER and any Guarantor or its representatives may be monitored and/or recorded. FUNDER may use automated telephone dialing, text messaging systems, and e-mail to provide messages to Guarantor(s) about Merchant(s)’s account. Telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by an Owner, a Guarantor, or someone else. These messages may also be recorded by the recipient’s answering machine or voice mail. Each Guarantor gives FUNDER permission to call or send a text message to any telephone number given to FUNDER in connection with the Agreement and to play pre-recorded messages and/or send text messages with information about the Agreement and/or any Merchant’s account over the phone. Each Guarantor also gives FUNDER permission to communicate such information to them by e-mail. Each Guarantor agrees that FUNDER will not be liable to any of them for any such calls or electronic communications, even if information is communicated to an unintended recipient. Each Guarantor acknowledges that when they receive such calls or electronic communications, they may incur a charge from the company that provides them with telecommunications, wireless, and/or Internet services, and that FUNDER has no liability for any such charges.

G3. GuarantorWaivers. If any Event of Default takes place under the Agreement, then FUNDER may enforce its rights under this Guarantee without first seeking to obtain payment from any Merchant, any other guarantor, or any Collateral or Cross-Collateral FUNDER may hold pursuant to this Guarantee or any other agreement or guarantee. FUNDER does not have to notify any Guarantor of any of the following events and Guarantor(s) will not be released from its obligations under this Guarantee even if it is not notified of: (i) any Merchant’s failure to pay timely any amount owed under the Agreement; (ii) any adverse change in any Merchant’s financial condition or business; (iii) any sale or other disposition of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) FUNDER’s acceptance of the Agreement with any Merchant; and (v) any renewal, extension, or other modification of the Agreement or any Merchant’s other obligations to FUNDER. In addition, FUNDER may take any of the following actions without releasing any Guarantor from any obligations under this Guarantee: (i) renew, extend, or otherwise modify the Agreement or any Merchant’s other obligations to FUNDER; (ii) if there is more than one Merchant, release a Merchant from its obligations to FUNDER such that at least one Merchant remains obligated to FUNDER; (iii) sell, release, impair, waive, or otherwise fail to realize upon any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (iv) foreclose on any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations in a manner that impairs or precludes the right of Guarantor to obtain reimbursement for payment under the Agreement. Until the Receivables Purchased Amount and each Merchant’s other obligations to FUNDER under the Agreement and this Guarantee are paid in full, each Guarantor shall not seek reimbursement from any Merchant or any other guarantor for any amounts paid by it under the Agreement. Each Guarantor permanently waives and shall not seek to exercise any of the following rights that it may have against any Merchant, any other guarantor, or any collateral provided by any Merchant or any other guarantor, for any amounts paid by it or acts performed by it under this Guarantee: (i) subrogation; (ii) reimbursement; (iii) performance; (iv) indemnification; or (v) contribution.

STANDARD MERCHANT CASH ADVANCE AGREEMENT

G5. Sale ofReceivables. Each Guarantor agrees that the Purchase Price under the Agreement is in exchange for the Receivables Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan from FUNDER to any Merchant. FUNDER is entering into the Agreement knowing the risks that each Merchant’s business may decline or fail, resulting in FUNDER not receiving the Receivables Purchased Amount. Any Merchant going bankrupt, going out of business, or experiencing a slowdown in business or a delay in collecting Receivables will not on its own without anything more be considered a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, no act or omission by a Merchant after it goes out of business, during the pendency of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy case in which the Merchant is a debtor, or after the Merchant is granted a discharge or the equivalent thereof in any bankruptcy case will cause that Merchant to be in default of the Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees that the Purchase Price in exchange for the Receivables pursuant to the Agreement equals the fair market value of such Receivables. FUNDER has purchased and shall own all the Receivables described in the Agreement up to the full Receivables Purchased Amount as the Receivables are created. Payments made to FUNDER in respect to the full amount of the Receivables shall be conditioned upon each Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefor by each Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in this Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges that FUNDER does not purchase, sell, or offer to purchase or sell securities and that neither the Agreement nor this Guarantee is a security, an offer to sell any security, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Although certain jurisdictions require the disclosure of an Annual Percentage Rate or APR in connection with the Agreement, those disclosures do not change the fact that the transaction encompassed by the Agreement is not a loan and does not have an interest rate.

G6. Protectionof Information. Each Guarantor authorizes FUNDER to disclose information concerning each Guarantor’s credit standing and business conduct to agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and credit reporting bureaus. Each Guarantor hereby waives to the maximum extent permitted by law any claim for damages against FUNDER or any of its affiliates relating to any (i) investigation undertaken by or on behalf of FUNDER as permitted by the Agreement or this Guarantee or (ii) disclosure of information as permitted by the Agreement or this Guarantee.


G7, Accuracyof Information Furnished by Guarantor and Investigation Thereof.

An investigative report may be made in connection with this Guarantee. Each Guarantor authorizes FUNDER, its agents and representatives, and any credit-reporting agency engaged by FUNDER, to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements obtained from or about each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee, and (ii) pull credit report at any time now or for so long as any Guarantor continues to have any obligation to FUNDER under this Guarantee or for FUNDER’s ability to determine any Guarantor’s eligibility to give any future guarantee with FUNDER.

HelioCorporation


2025 EquityIncentive Plan


Adopted: August 19, 2025

Approved By Stockholders: August 19, 2025

Termination Date: August 19, 2035


ARTICLE 1


Purposes


1.1. General Purpose. Helio Corporation (the “Company”) has adopted this Helio Corporation 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) in order to recruit and retain exceptional employees, officers, directors and consultants and to provide incentives for such individuals to perform at the highest levels for the benefit of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are defined in the Definitions section in Article 10.

**1.2. Equity Incentive Awards.**This Plan allows the Company to provide a variety of equity incentive awards (“Awards”) to eligible participants that will provide economic benefits to such participants based on the increase in the value of the Company’s equity.

ARTICLE2


Administration


2.1. Administration byBoard. The Board shall administer this Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in Section 2.3.

2.2. Powers of Board. The Board shall have the power, subject to and within the limitations of, the express provisions of this Plan:

(a) to determine the persons to whom an Award shall be granted and the form, terms and conditions of any such Award;

(b) to construe and interpret this Plan and Awards granted under this Plan and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for this Plan’s administration; provided that the Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent the Board shall deem necessary or expedient to make this Plan fully effective;

(c) to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any adversely affected Optionholder, (1) the reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding Option under this Plan and/or (2) the cancellation of any outstanding Option under this Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of (i) a new Option under this Plan or another equity plan of the Company covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (ii) a Restricted Stock Award (including a stock bonus), (iii) a Stock Appreciation Right, (iv) cash or (v) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in the Board’s sole discretion) or (3) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles; provided that the exercise price per share of Common Stock of any Option shall not be less than that specified under this Plan for newly granted Awards except that the Board may grant an Option with a lower exercise price if such Option is granted as part of a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies;

(d) to terminate or suspend this Plan as provided in Section 9.8;

(e) to amend this Plan as provided in Section 9.9; and

(f) generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of this Plan.

**2.3. Delegation to Committee.**The Board may delegate administration of this Plan to a Committee of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. If administration of this Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have those powers specified by the Board in such delegation or, if no specific powers are specified or reserved by the Board, the Committee shall have all of the powers theretofore possessed by the Board in connection with the administration of this Plan, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of this Plan.

2.4. Effect of Board’sDecision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive in all respects.

2.5. Arbitration. Any dispute or claim concerning any Award granted (or not granted) pursuant to this Plan or relating to or arising out of this Plan shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding and confidential arbitration conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in Berkley California. The Company shall pay all arbitration fees. In addition to any other relief, the arbitrator may award to the prevailing party recovery of such party’s attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company hereby waives and, by accepting an Award, each Participant waives their respective rights to have any such dispute or claim tried by a judge or jury.

ARTICLE 3


SharesSubject to this Plan


3.1. Share Reserve. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock. On the first trading day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase so that the aggregate number of shares reserved under this Plan equals twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal year, reduced by the total number of shares then reserved and available for issuance under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, only shares available for new grants under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (and not shares subject to outstanding awards under such plan) shall reduce the annual increase, and only shares available for new grants under this Plan (and not shares subject to outstanding awards under this Plan) shall reduce the annual increase.

By way of illustration, as of the date of adoption of this Plan, there are 2,250,000 shares available for issuance under this Plan. If, on January 31, 2026, the Company has 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding, then on February 1, 2026 the number of shares available under the Plan will automatically increase so that the aggregate number of shares available for new grants equals 2,600,000 (20% of 13,000,000). If, as of January 31, 2026, 250,000 options have been granted under this Plan (leaving 2,000,000 shares still available for new grants) and no shares remain available for new grants under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, the Plan will increase by 600,000 shares (2,600,000 target minus 2,000,000 currently available), resulting in 2,600,000 shares available for grant under this Plan as of February 1, 2026.

3.2. Reversion of Sharesto the Share Reserve. If any Option shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, then the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Option was not exercised shall revert to and again become available for issuance under this Plan. Any shares of Common Stock issued under the terms of a Restricted Stock Award or an Option, including unvested shares of Common Stock held pursuant to Section 5.12, subsequently repurchased by the Company shall revert to and again become available for issuance under this Plan. Any Stock Appreciation Rights that expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been realized shall revert to and again become available for issuance under this Plan.

3.3. Source of Shares. The shares of Common Stock subject to this Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

2

ARTICLE 4


Eligibility


4.1. Eligibility for SpecificAwards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Officers, Directors and Consultants.

**4.2. Ten Percent Stockholders.**A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

4.3. Consultants. Except as otherwise may be determined by the Board, a Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of an Award if, at the time of grant, either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such Consultant is not exempt under Rule 701 of the Securities Act because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, because the Consultant is not a natural person or because of some other provision of Rule 701.

ARTICLE5


OptionProvisions


Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

5.1. Term. No Option granted shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option was granted.


5.2. Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price per share of each Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price per share lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

5.3. Consideration.


(a) The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash or check at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (A) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (B) according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Optionholder, (C) by a “net exercise” of the Option (as further described below), (D) by delivery of a promissory note with full recourse to the Optionholder and the Optionholder’s assets or (E) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

(b) Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is incorporated in Florida, payment of the Common Stock’s “par value,” as defined in the Florida Business Corporation Act, shall not be made by deferred payment and must be paid in a form of consideration that is permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

3

(c) In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at least at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (1) the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (2) the treatment of the Option as a variable award for financial accounting purposes.

(d) In the case of a “net exercise” of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Participant but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest number of whole shares that has a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. With respect to any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price, the Company shall accept a cash payment from the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so used to pay the exercise price of an Option under a “net exercise” will be considered to have resulted from the exercise of the Option, and accordingly, the Option will not again be exercisable with respect to such shares, the shares actually delivered to the Participant and any shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding.

5.4. Transferability ofan Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable only by the Optionholder during the lifetime of the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

5.5. Transferability ofa Nonstatutory Stock Option. If a Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then except as otherwise may be determined by the Board, such Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

5.6. Incentive Stock Option$100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of any Award Agreement.

**5.7. Vesting Generally.**The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when the Option may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.

5.8. Termination of ContinuousService. In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise such Optionholder’s Option (to the extent that such Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise such Optionholder’s Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

5.9. Extension of TerminationDate. An Optionholder’s Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in Section 5.1 or (b) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.

4

**5.10. Disability of Optionholder.**In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise such Optionholder’s Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

5.11. Death of Optionholder. In the event that (a) an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death or (b) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionholder’s death pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

5.12. Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option.

**5.13. Right of Repurchase.**Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9.6, the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect to repurchase all or any part of any vested or unvested shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the exercise or early exercise of the Option at a price equal to the lower of the Fair Market Value or the exercise price of such shares.

5.14. Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided in this Section or in the Award Agreement for the Option, such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.


ARTICLE 6


Provisionsof Awards other than Options


**6.1. Restricted Stock Awards.**Each Restricted Stock Award agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Award agreements need not be identical; provided, however, that each Restricted Stock Award agreement shall include (through incorporation of the provisions hereof, by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a) Purchase Price. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Board will determine the price to be paid by the Participant for each share subject to the Restricted Stock Award. The price to be paid by the Participant for each share subject to the Restricted Stock Award shall not be less than the Common Stock’s Fair Market Value on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded as a stock bonus (i.e., with no cash purchase price to be paid) to the extent permissible under applicable law.

5

(b) Consideration. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Board will determine the consideration permissible for the payment of the purchase price of the Restricted Stock Award. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award shall be paid in one of the following ways: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; (iii) by services rendered or to be rendered to the Company; (iv) by delivery of a promissory note with full recourse to the Participant and the Participant’s assets; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated in Florida, payment of the Common Stock’s “par value,” as defined in the Florida Business Corporation Act, shall not be made by deferred payment and must be paid in a form of consideration that is permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

(c) Vesting. Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9.6, shares of Common Stock acquired under a Restricted Stock Award may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

(d) Termination of Participant’sContinuous Service. Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9.6, in the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award agreement at a price equal to the amount paid by the Participant for such shares of Common Stock. Provided that the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9.6 is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following the purchase of the restricted stock unless otherwise determined by the Board or provided in the Restricted Stock Award agreement.

(e) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, and so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award agreement.

6.2. Stock AppreciationRights. Each Stock Appreciation Right agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Right agreements may change from time to time. The terms and conditions of separate Stock Appreciation Right agreements need not be identical, but each Stock Appreciation Right agreement shall include (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

**(a) Calculation of Appreciation.**Each Stock Appreciation Right will be denominated in Common Stock equivalents. The appreciation distribution payable per Common Stock equivalent on the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be not greater than an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right) of a share of Common Stock over (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right or, in the case of Ten Percent Stockholders, 110% of such Fair Market Value.

(b) Vesting. At the time of the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Board may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such Stock Appreciation Right as the Board deems appropriate; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right that could be settled in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” in Section 9.6.

(c) Exercise. To exercise any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Appreciation Rights agreement evidencing such Right.

(d) Payment. The appreciation distribution in respect of a Stock Appreciation Right may be paid in Common Stock, in cash or any combination of the two, as the Board deems appropriate.

(e) Termination of ContinuousService. If a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, any unvested Stock Appreciation Rights shall be forfeited and any vested Stock Appreciation Rights shall be automatically redeemed.

6

6.3. Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) Award shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. An RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (or the value thereof in cash) upon vesting and settlement. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, RSUs shall be settled in shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date. RSUs may be subject to such vesting conditions (time-based, performance-based, or otherwise) as the Board may determine.

6.4 Performance Awards. The Board may grant Performance Awards that are payable in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, contingent upon the achievement of one or more performance goals over a designated performance period, as determined by the Board. Performance goals may include, but are not limited to, financial metrics (such as earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, revenue, or EBITDA), stock price performance, or operational goals. The Board shall establish in writing the performance criteria, performance period, and the formula for calculating the amount of compensation payable under the Performance Award.

6.5. Dividend Equivalents. RSUs and Performance Awards may, but need not, provide for the payment of dividend equivalents. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to any Award prior to the vesting of the underlying shares.

ARTICLE7


Covenantsof the Company


**7.1. Availability of Shares.**During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

**7.2. Securities Law Compliance.**The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over this Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act this Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under this Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

ARTICLE 8


AdjustmentsUpon Changes in Stock


8.1. Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to this Plan or subject to any Award without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, dividend, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a “Capitalization Adjustment”), this Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to this Plan pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and the outstanding Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Awards by the Board. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.

8.2. Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase option may be repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such stock is still in Continuous Service.

7

8.3. Corporate Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Award or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Award. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to Awards, contingent upon the closing or completion of the Corporate Transaction:

(a) arrange for the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) to assume or continue the Award or to substitute a similar stock award for the Award (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction);


(b) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award to the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company);

(c) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Award (and, if applicable, the time at which the Award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board determines (or, if the Board does not determine such a date, to the date that is five days prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction), with such Award terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that the Board may require Participants to complete and deliver to the Company a notice of exercise before the effective date of a Corporate Transaction, which exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such Corporate Transaction;

(d) arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to the Award;

(e) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, or no consideration, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; and

(f) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the Award immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. For clarity, this payment may be $0 if the value of the property is equal to or less than the exercise price. Payments under this provision may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction is delayed as a result of escrows, earn outs, holdbacks or any other contingencies.

The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

Miscellaneous


9.1. Acceleration of Exercisabilityand Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with this Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which such Award may first be exercised or the time during which such Award will vest.

**9.2. Stockholder Rights.**No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.


9.3. No Employment or OtherService Rights. Nothing in this Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (b) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (c) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate. Furthermore, nothing in this Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant hereto shall affect any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

**9.4. Investment Assurances.**The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Award, (a) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that Participant is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Award and (b) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under this Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

**9.5. Withholding Obligations.**The terms of an Award Agreement must require the Participant to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation (including with respect to the withholding of income tax and of the Participant’s liability for employment taxes, including FICA and Medicare taxes) relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable accounting); or (c) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

9

**9.6. Repurchase Limitation.**The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Award, and the repurchase price may be either the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of termination of Continuous Service or the lower of (1) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (2) their original purchase price.

**(a) Fair Market Value.**If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of termination of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Awards after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding “qualified small business stock”) and (ii) the right terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded.

(b) Original PurchasePrice. If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price, then (x) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years from the date the Award is granted (without respect to the date the Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (y) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Options after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding “qualified small business stock”).

9.7. Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted) unless and until this Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.

9.8. Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, this Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth (10^th^) anniversary of the date this Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Awards may be granted under this Plan while this Plan is suspended or after this Plan is terminated. Suspension or termination of this Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Award granted while this Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant.

**9.9. Amendment of Plan.**The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend this Plan. However, except as provided in Section 8.1, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend this Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to bring this Plan or Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan into compliance therewith. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.

9.10. Amendment of Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless the affected Participant consents in writing. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of this Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of this Plan unless the affected Participant consents in writing.

9.11. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Plan and Awards made under the Plan are intended to be stock rights that do not provide for the deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan shall be interpreted to the fullest extent possible and shall be operated so as to comply with the requirements imposed by Section 409A of the Code such that Awards do not provide for the deferral of compensation. If any Plan provision or Award would result in the imposition of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Company and the Participant intend that the Plan provision or Award will be reformed to avoid imposition, to the extent possible, of such additional tax and interest, and no action taken by the Company to so comply with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant’s rights to an Award. The Participant further agrees that the Committee, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, may amend or modify an Award in any manner and delay the payment of any amounts payable pursuant to an Award to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as the Committee deems appropriate or desirable.

10

**9.12. Tax Consequences.**Each Participant shall be solely responsible for all of the tax consequences to the Participant of any award issued under the Plan, including any consequences arising under Section 409A of the Code. The Company provides no guaranty or assurance concerning the tax consequences to the Participants of any award issued under the Plan.

9.13. Governing Law. The law of the State of Florida shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.

9.14. Clawback. All Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms of any recoupment, clawback, or similar policy of the Company in effect from time to time, as well as any recoupment, clawback, or similar requirements imposed under applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange listing standards, including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.
