Recent Events
On December 8, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that based on the closing bid price of the Company for the period from October 24, 2025 to December 5, 2025, the Company no longer meets the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Nasdaq has provided the Company with a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until June 8, 2026, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirement. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance in the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting.

D. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or a part of your investment. The realization of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future prospects.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our inability to acquire and provide quality merchandise at competitive prices could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
We are dependent upon our product suppliers continuing to supply us with quality merchandise at competitive prices. If our merchandise offerings do not meet our customers’ expectations regarding quality, innovation and safety, we could experience lost sales, increased costs and exposure to legal and reputational risk. All of our products must comply with applicable product safety laws, and we are dependent on our vendors to ensure that the products we buy comply with all safety and quality standards. Events that give rise to actual, potential or perceived product safety concerns could expose us to government enforcement action or private litigation, result in costly product recalls and other liabilities and lead to reputational harm and loss of customer confidence. To the extent our suppliers are subject to added government regulation of their product design and/or manufacturing processes, the cost of the merchandise we purchase may rise.
Furthermore, our vendors are impacted by global economic conditions which in turn impact our ability to source merchandise at competitive prices. For example, the recent surges in consumer demand, tariffs, shortages of raw materials and disruptions to the global supply chain have negatively impacted costs and inventory availability and may continue to have a negative impact on future results and profitability. Credit market and other macroeconomic conditions could also have a material adverse effect on the ability of our global and domestic suppliers to finance and operate their businesses.
If we experience transitions or changeover with any of our significant vendors, or if they experience financial difficulties or otherwise are unable to deliver merchandise to us on a timely basis, or at all, we could have product shortages in our stores that could adversely affect customers’ perceptions of us and cause us to lose customers and sales.
Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy depends on the successful recruitment and retention of highly skilled and experienced management and other key personnel, and we cannot assure that we will be able to hire or retain such employees.
To date, we have been successful because, in part, we have been able to consistently attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of experienced management and knowledgeable key employees. Our ability to effectively implement our business strategy will depend upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and other key personnel. These individuals are difficult to find, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia where the bulk of our operations currently take place, and as the economy in both Singapore and Malaysia expands, there is increasing competition for skilled workers. We cannot be certain that we will be able to find, hire or retain such employees, or even if we are able to so hire such employees, that the financial costs of doing so will not adversely affect our net income.
Our operations depend highly on Chin Heng Neo (“Jimmy Neo), our Chief Executive Officer, Chin Aik Neo (“Edward Neo”), our Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Ching Kiat Neo (“CK Neo”), our Chief Operating Officer, and a small number of other executives.
The success of our operations depends greatly on a small number of key executives, including Jimmy Neo, Edward Neo and CK Neo. The loss of the services of any of Jimmy Neo, Edward Neo or CK Neo, or any of the other key executives could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. Although we believe we would be able to find other executives to replace any of these key executives, the search for such executives and the integration of such executives into our business will inevitably occur only over an extended period of time. During that time the lack of senior leadership could affect adversely our Group’s sales and service as well as our Group’s business development efforts.
| 5 |
The automotive and general industrial equipment industries are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully with our competitors who have greater resources than we do.
In order for us to have and maintain a competitive edge over our competitors, we will have to do a better job than our competitors do satisfying the criteria that drive our Group’s present and potential customers’ purchase decisions. These criteria include the quality of our products and services, price/cost competitiveness, product performance, reliability and timeliness of delivery, new product and technology development capability, degree of global and regional presence, effectiveness of customer service, and overall management capability. The number and quality of competitors will vary according to the particular industry and geographical market. Additionally, our competitors may have substantially greater revenues, financial resources and market presence such as stronger brand names, consumer recognition, business relationships with manufacturers, and more established geographic presence than we have as we seek to expand into new geographic markets. Our Group may be unable to compete favorably with new or improved competition. This may substantially harm our business, business prospects, and results of operation.
Internationally, we face different market dynamics and competition. We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in international markets due to the lack of recognition of our brand, products, navigating local regulations, and hiring in new labor markets, among other factors. Developing product recognition overseas is costly and time-consuming. Our Group’s international expansion efforts may be more costly and less profitable than we expect. If we are unable to execute our business expansion successfully in our target markets, our investment in such efforts may not be returned, our overall sales could decrease, our management team may be overstretched in managing these initiatives and our established business could suffer, margins could be negatively impacted and we could lose market share, any of which could materially harm our business, results of operations and profitability.
Our reliance in imported products increases our supply chain risk and foreign currency exposure.
We directly import almost all of the products and components that we sell. Changes to the price or flow of these goods for any reason, such as the availability and cost of raw materials to suppliers, currency fluctuations, shipping and transport availability and cost, civil unrest or acts of war, disruptions in maritime lanes, port labor disputes, economic conditions and instability in the countries in which foreign suppliers are located, the financial instability of suppliers, suppliers’ failure to meet our standards, issues with labor practices of our suppliers or labor problems they may experience (such as strikes, stoppages or slowdowns, which could also increase labor costs during and following the disruption), increased import duties or tariffs, merchandise quality or safety issues, increases in wage rates and taxes, transport security, inflation and other factors relating to the suppliers and the countries in which they are located or from which they import, often are beyond our control and could adversely affect our operations and profitability. In addition, the foreign trade policies, tariffs and other impositions on imported goods, trade sanctions imposed on certain countries, import limitations on certain types of goods or of goods containing certain materials from other countries and other factors relating to foreign trade and port labor agreements are beyond our control. These and other factors, such as the pandemic, affecting our suppliers and our access to products could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
We may be unable to sustain our past growth or successfully implement our growth strategy, which may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Our sales decreased by approximately $4.3 million from approximately $62.7 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $58.4 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to the decrease from customer demands. We have seen the decrease in sales for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, however, there is no assurance that this will be sustainable. Our future growth will depend upon various factors, including the reliability of sourcing and timely delivery of the products we sell, as well as strength of our brand image, our ability to continue to produce innovative products, consumer acceptance of our products, competitive conditions in the marketplace, the growth in Asia Pacific, the Middle East (which in turn services downstream customers in African and some European countries) and American markets and, in general, the continued growth of the marine, energy, mining, construction, agricultural, and oil and gas industries into which we sell our products. If we are unable to sustain our past growth or successfully implement our growth strategy, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected.
As part of our strategy to strengthen our engineering capabilities and to grow our green technology capabilities, we acquired INNEOVA Engineering Pte. Ltd. through a subsidiary. We closed the transaction in April 30, 2025 and issued approximately $6.2 million ordinary shares as consideration to the controlling shareholder, Soon Aik Global Pte. Ltd. We are expecting that this acquisition will help position us for future growth and expansion of our business. If these plans do not materialize, if we are unable to leverage this new business line or adequately incorporate it into our business, we will have issued significant shares in the Company without seeing the benefits of additional revenue. It may take time to see the benefits of the acquisition, if we do at all.
| 6 |
We are a supplier to the marine, energy, mining, construction, agricultural, and oil and gas industries, and our business is dependent in large part on the orders we receive from these customers and from their success.
As a supplier to companies in the marine, energy, mining, construction, agricultural, and oil and gas industries, we are affected by larger macroeconomic trends and developments that affect these industries. Losses in market share individually or a decline in the overall market of our Off-Highway Business customers or the discontinuance by our Off-Highway Business customers of their products could negatively impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If any one or more of our Off-Highway Business customers reduce production due to their own reduced demand or changed business, their orders to us for our products would in turn be reduced, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Sales from our top five (5) customers have historically made up a significant portion of our sales and the loss of one or more major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our aggregate sales generated from our top five (5) customers were approximately 21.3% and 22.4% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our sales to our largest customer amounted to approximately $4.2 million and $3.4 million, representing approximately 7.3% and 5.5% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our total sales are significantly affected by the demands of our largest customers due to vigorous price competition in the supply chain, supply chain shortage and disruption, and inflationary cost pressure as our customers will seek to purchase products optimizing for price and timing of delivery. The loss of one or more of our major customers, or a substantial decrease in demand by any of those customers for our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is sensitive to economic conditions that impact consumer spending. Our On-Highway and Off-Highway products, and the On-Highway vehicles and Off-Highway industrial heavy equipment into which they are incorporated may be adversely impacted by a variety of changes in the economy.
Our business depends substantially on overall global economic and market conditions. In particular, a majority of the end users of our products currently reside in Asia and the Middle East. These areas are either in the process of recovering from recession or, in some cases, are still struggling with recession, disruption in banking and/or financial systems, economic weakness and socio-political uncertainty. More broadly, as markets we serve contract, both our retail and industrial clients have less discretion to spend on our products.
There could also be various secondary effects resulting from an economic downturn, such as insolvency of our suppliers resulting in product delays, an inability of our distributor and dealer customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, customers delaying payment to us for the purchase of our products due to financial hardship or an increase in bad debt expense. Any of these effects could negatively affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to maintain our premium brand image.
Our products are selected by both dealers and distributors in part because of the global premium brand reputation of our business and our products. Our success depends on our ability to maintain and build our brand image. We have focused on building our brand through producing products that we believe are innovative, high in performance and highly reliable. In addition, our brand benefits from marketing programs aimed at retail and wholesale business customers in various media and other channels, which we believe should continue and expand for ongoing brand recognition. We need to maintain our position in the automotive and industrial heavy equipment markets by continuing to provide high quality products and services and continuing to invest in marketing efforts such as sponsorships, product innovation, and public relations.
| 7 |
There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to maintain or enhance the strength of our brand in the future. Our brand could be adversely impacted by, among other things:
| ● | failure to develop new products that are innovative, high-performance and reliable; | |
| ● | product recalls; | |
| ● | inconsistent marketing uses of our brand and our other intellectual property assets, as well as failure to protect our intellectual property; and | |
| ● | changes in consumer trends and perceptions. |
Any adverse impact on our brand could in turn negatively affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Interruptions affecting our supply chain may adversely affect our business.
Our supply chain assets are a critical part of our operations, particularly in light of increasing customer demand for readily available products. We depend on our vendors’ abilities to timely deliver products and on third parties for the operation of certain aspects of our supply chain network. The factors that can adversely these aspects of our operations include, but are not limited to:
| ● | interruptions to our delivery capabilities; | |
| ● | failure of third parties to meet our standards or their commitments to us; | |
| ● | hindering our ability to meet our demand for product volumes and timing; | |
| ● | increasing transportation costs or other factors that could impact cost, such as having to find more expensive products that are more timely available; and | |
| ● | a widespread pandemic and disruptions as a result of efforts to control or mitigate the pandemic (such as facility closures, governmental orders, outbreaks and/or transportation capacity). |
Our revenue decreased by approximately $4.3 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the financial year ended December 31 2024, respectively, largely as a result of the decrease in customer demands. It is important that we maintain optimal levels of inventory in our distribution centers and retail stores and be able to respond rapidly to shifting customer demands. Any disruption to, or inefficiency in, our supply chain network, whether due to geopolitical conflicts, a global pandemic, supplier lapses, or other factors, could affect our revenue and profitability. If we fail to manage these risks effectively, we could experience a material adverse impact to our reputation, revenue and profitability.
A disruption at our suppliers’ manufacturing facilities would significantly interrupt our ability to meet the demands for our products.
We import the majority of our supplies from the Middle East, the People’s Republic of China, Japan, Europe and the United States. While we seek to diversify the source of our supplies to mitigate any disruption of supplies for our products, such as a fire, or natural disaster from any of our principal suppliers’ manufacturing facilities could significantly interrupt our ability to perform. In case of future disruption, we will have to establish alternative sources for our products. This would require additional capital and time on our part, which we may not be able to obtain on commercially acceptable terms, or at all and are subject to delivery and availability.
Development of an e-commerce line of business may be more costly to build and run and less profitable than anticipated.
We intend to expand our business to provide a 24/7 digital platform for view and purchase of our products. Our ability to successfully launch this business will require us to develop an entirely new sales platform that needs to be user friendly, is able to be easily updated and that interfaces well with our existing inventory and shipping systems. We may not be able to create an effective platform that consumers can use. We also will need to compete effectively on price and usability as compared with other auto parts sales companies with already established e-commerce capabilities and with more sophisticated online sales platforms that have greater resources devoted to sales and development of their websites. If we cannot effectively implement an ecommerce site, our efforts may divert human resources and capital from building our core business to the detriment of our profitability, and our revenues may be reduced, in the short and long term if our e-commerce line of business does not gain traction with customers.
| 8 |
Our substantial level of indebtedness and our current liquidity constraints could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to service our indebtedness, which could negatively impact your ability to recover your investment in the common stock.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $18.9 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our indebtedness and the current constraints on our liquidity could have important consequences, including the following:
| ● | we must use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which reduces or will reduce funds available to us for other purposes such as working capital, capital expenditures, other general corporate purposes and potential acquisitions; | |
| ● | our ability to refinance such indebtedness or to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes is limited; | |
| ● | our leverage may be greater than that of some of our competitors, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage and reduce our flexibility in responding to current and changing industry and financial market conditions; | |
| ● | there are significant constraints on our ability to generate liquidity through incurring additional debt; and | |
| ● | we may be more vulnerable to economic downturn and adverse developments in our business. |
Our ability to meet our expenses, to remain in compliance with the terms of our existing debt instruments and to make future principal and interest payments in respect of our debt depends on, among other factors, our operating performance, competitive developments and financial market conditions, all of which are significantly affected by financial, business, economic and other factors. We are not able to control many of these factors. Given current industry and economic conditions, our cash flow may not be sufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations, making it difficult to obtain future financing, or necessitate us restructuring our debt in less favorable terms or going through bankruptcy proceedings, all of which would have negative impacts on our ongoing business or as a going concern and may reduce the value of, or result in total loss of, an equity investment in our Company.
We may be exposed to product liability.
Any product liability claims against us, and any legal proceedings, arbitration or administrative sanctions or penalties arising therefrom, irrespective of the outcome of the merits of such claims, would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations as well as our corporate image and reputation. Even if we are able to defend against any such claim successfully, there can be no assurance that our customers will not lose confidence in our products as a result of such claim, which may in turn adversely affect our future business. In addition, any product liability claim could result in significant costs and expenses which may or may not be recoverable. We currently only have product liability insurance for our in-house brand product REV-1, and in the event of a product liability claim brought against us for any other product that we manufacture or resell, we would have to bear the full expense of defending the claim and any payment to the plaintiffs upon settlement or an adverse judgment.
We are exposed to risks in respect of acts of war, terrorist attacks, epidemics, political unrest, adverse weather conditions and other uncontrollable events.
Unforeseeable circumstances and other factors such as power outages, labor disputes, adverse weather conditions or other catastrophes, epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (“MERS”), Ebola or other contagious diseases, may disrupt our operations and cause loss and damage to our storage facilities and processing facilities, and acts of war, terrorist attacks or other acts of violence may further materially and adversely affect the global financial markets and consumer confidence. Our business may also be affected by macroeconomic factors in the countries in which we operate, such as general economic conditions, market sentiment, social and political unrest, and regulatory, fiscal, and other governmental policies, all of which are beyond our control. Any such events may cause damage or disruption to our business, markets, customers, and suppliers, any of which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
| 9 |
We may be affected by adverse changes in the political, economic, regulatory, or social conditions in the countries in which we and our customers and suppliers operate or into which we intend to expand.
We and our customers and suppliers are governed by the laws, regulations, and government policies in each of the countries in which we and our customers and suppliers operate or into which we intend to expand our business and operations, such as Singapore, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. Our business and future growth are dependent on the political, economic, regulatory, and social conditions in these countries, which are beyond our control. Any economic downturn, changes in policies, implementation of high tariffs, currency and interest rate fluctuations, capital controls or capital restrictions, labor laws, changes in environmental protection laws and regulations, duties and taxation and limitations on imports and exports in these countries may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
If demand for our products slows, then our business may be materially and adversely affected.
Demand for the products we sell may be affected by a number of factors we cannot control, including rising energy prices, which may cause customers to drive less and automotive advances, such as the increasing demand for electric vehicles, can result in cars needing replacement parts less frequently. Such factors could result in a decline in the demand for our products, which could adversely affect our business and overall financial condition.
If our electronic data is compromised our business could be significantly harmed.
We and our business partners maintain data electronically in locations around the world, and, accordingly, we face cybersecurity risks. This data relates to many aspects of our business, and also contains certain customer, consumer, supplier, partner and employee data. We maintain systems and processes designed to protect this data, but notwithstanding such protective measures, there is a risk of intrusion, cyber-attacks or tampering that could compromise the integrity and privacy of this data. Any compromise of the confidential data of our customers, consumers, suppliers, partners, employees or ourselves, or failure to prevent or mitigate the loss of or damage to this data through breach of our information technology systems or other means could substantially disrupt our operations, harm our customers, consumers, employees and other business partners, damage our reputation, violate applicable laws and regulations, subject us to potentially significant costs and liabilities and result in a loss of business that could be material.
Risks Related to Our Securities
We may not maintain the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Class A Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
We list our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and in order to continue listing our shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements in the future. We cannot assure you that our shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the future. On December 8, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq that the Company no longer meets the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. We have until June 8, 2026, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirement. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance in the compliance period, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, our securities will be subject to delisting.
If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our Class A Ordinary Shares and we are unable to list our shares on another national securities exchange, we expect our shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market in the United States. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
| ● | a limited availability of market quotations for our Class A Ordinary Shares; | |
| ● | reduced liquidity for our Class A Ordinary Shares; | |
| ● | a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares; | |
| ● | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and | |
| ● | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
| 10 |
As long as our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, U.S. federal law prevents or preempts the states from regulating their sale. However, the law does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar their sale. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our shares.
The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, such as the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in Singapore that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:
| ● | fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow; | |
| ● | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; | |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
| ● | release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and | |
| ● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations. |
Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.
In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our shares, the market price for our shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our shares to decline.
Short selling may drive down the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical shares back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale of the borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the shares to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions and allegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling the shares short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable publicity, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves, and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may decrease. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in how to proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.
We currently intend to retain our available funds and any future earnings after the Public Offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our shares as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of Directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. Even if our board of Directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount, and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors as determined by our board of Directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Class A Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Class A Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after the Public Offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our shares and you may even lose your entire investment.
The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial volatility, which could make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares and result in substantial losses to investors.
As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control and for reasons that are unrelated to our actual or expected performance. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:
| ● | fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow; | |
| ● | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; | |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
| ● | release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our issued and outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and | |
| ● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations. |
Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.
In the event of market volatility, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our securities may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.
We are a non-U.S. corporation and, as such, we will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, and we will be so classified if, for any taxable year, either
| ● | At least 75.0% of our gross income for the financial year is passive income; or | |
| ● | The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year that produce passive income or that are held for the production of passive income is at least 50.0%. |
Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our securities, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.
It is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50.0% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any tax year. We treat our affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we exercise effective control over the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro-rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25.0% of the equity by value.
For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were determined to be a PFIC, see “Material Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”
Our controlling shareholders collectively, beneficial ownership have substantial influence over the Company. Their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and it could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.
As at the date of this Annual Report, Chee Eng Neo (“CE Neo”), Jimmy Neo, Edward Neo, and CK Neo collectively, beneficial ownership an aggregate of 87.84% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and they will indirectly beneficial ownership approximately 87.84% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Accordingly, our controlling shareholders could control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of Directors and other significant corporate actions, including the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our largest shareholders may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. Without the consent of our controlling shareholders, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our shares may cause a material decline in the value of our shares. For more information regarding our principal shareholders and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders.”
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards.
As a foreign private issuer that has applied to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may rely on a provision in the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law regarding certain aspects of corporate governance. While we do not currently intend to rely on home country practices, if we were to do so in the future, this would allow us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
| 13 |
For example, we would be exempt from Nasdaq Capital Market regulations that require a listed U.S. company to:
| ● | have a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors; | |
| ● | require non-management directors to meet on a regular basis without management present; | |
| ● | maintain director independence requirements of our compensation, nomination, and audit committees; and | |
| ● | seek shareholder approval for the implementation of certain equity compensation plans and dilutive issuances of Ordinary Shares, such as transactions, involving the sale of 20.0% or more of our Ordinary Shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares. |
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under Nasdaq Capital Market’s rules for domestic U.S. issuers, provided that we disclose any significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies under Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards. See “Management –– Foreign Private Issuer Status” for more information. In the event we elected to rely on the corporate governance exemptions available to foreign private issuers under Nasdaq Capital Market rules, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq Capital Market’s corporate governance requirements.
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the Companies Act (as revised) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our Directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which are generally of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits provided that certain conditions are met.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. The Amended and Restated Articles of Association have provisions that provide our Shareholders the right to inspect the register of members without charge, and to receive the annual audited financial statements of our Company. Subject to the foregoing, our Directors are not otherwise required under our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association to make our corporate records available for inspection by our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as U.S. states. Currently, we do not intend to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. If we were to do so in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
| 14 |
As a result of all of the above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the board of Directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in a U.S. state. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act (as revised) and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in a U.S. state and their shareholders, see “Certain Cayman Islands Company Considerations — Differences in Corporate Law.”
Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current Directors and Executive Officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Directors and Executive Officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.” As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against us or our Directors, Executive Officers or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
We are an “Emerging Growth Company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an Emerging Growth Company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, although we have early adopted certain new and revised accounting standards based on transition guidance permitted under such standards. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.
Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
| ● | the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC; | |
| ● | the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; | |
| ● | the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and | |
| ● | the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD. |
| 15 |
We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four (4) months of the end of each financial year. In addition, we intend to publish our financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.
As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of an issuer’s most recently completed second financial quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on December 31, 2026. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (a) more than 50.0% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (b) a majority of our Directors or Executive Officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we would be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We would also have to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our Directors, Executive Officers and 10.0% shareholders would become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we would lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we would incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Our Company is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection for investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the U.S. federal courts.
All of our current operations are conducted outside of the United States and all of our current assets are located outside of the United States, with the majority of our operations and current assets being located in Singapore. All of the Directors and Executive Officers of our Company and the auditors of our Company reside outside the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or any such persons, or to enforce in the United States any judgment obtained in the U.S. courts against us or any of such persons, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws or any U.S. state or territory.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., 122 E. 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10168 as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Further, once our ordered products are delivered by our suppliers or contracted manufacturers to our warehouses and stores, we conduct inspections. Any product which fails the inspection is rejected and returned to our suppliers or contracted manufacturers for replacement or rectification. In the event any rejected product is not returned due to shipping costs or any other reason, our suppliers or contracted manufacturers compensate us through the provision of discount or credit notes for our future orders.
Prior to the packing and delivery of our products to our customers, we perform another round of quality control inspection to ensure that our products comply with the required specifications and quantities ordered.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Our customers comprise mainly resellers such as distributors and dealers of automotive or industrial spare parts, workshops, shipyards, end-users and fleet owners. These resellers consist mainly of wholesalers who subsequently sell our products to retailers, other resellers, end-users or workshops. They purchase genuine spare parts, OEM and/or aftermarket spare parts from us.
We do not typically enter into long term agreements with our customers and instead seek to retain existing customers by providing a quality product at a fair price with responsive customer service. We actively maintain close relationships with our existing customers, while constantly sourcing for potential new customers. While in the past we have had higher customer concentration, we believe that our future business and profitability are not dependent on any single customer or any particular industrial, commercial or financial contract with any customer. Our customers are independent and none of our Directors or shareholders have any pecuniary or related party interest in such customers.
The revenue attributable to our five (5) largest customers, which can vary from year-to-year, collectively accounted for approximately 21.3% and 22.4% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one (1) largest customer that accounted for approximately 7.3% and 5.5% of our total revenue. Our customer orders fluctuate and we do not anticipate that this or any single customer will necessarily account for more than 10.0% of our revenues going forward.
Our domestic revenue totaled approximately $27.1 million and $26.2 million or approximately 46.4% and 41.8% of our total revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Meanwhile, our export revenue totaled approximately $31.3 million and $36.5 million, or approximately 53.6% and 58.2% of our total revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Customer Inquiries
We have a highly systematic sales process where our sales, customer service and warehouse staff work in close concert to provide seamless service to our customers. The sales process and specific methods of interactions with customers is described in below in “Sales and Marketing – Sales Workflow.”

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS
We have a wide range of products from reputable brands.
Our extensive range of products includes approximately 40,000 items of on-highway and off-highway products from reputable Japanese, European, Korean and American brands. Our customers are able to source a variety of products from us, typically shortening and facilitating their procurement process. In addition, having an extensive range of products provides a platform for continuous growth in our business, allowing us to broaden our product range further. We believe that it would be difficult for a new entrant in the industry to easily replicate our product offerings as that would require substantial time, effort and working capital.
We believe we have an established track record and reputation of more than 40 years.
We have been committed to providing quality products and a high level of customer service to meet our customers’ needs. For the past 40 years, we believe we have developed a reputation for providing consistent and reliable products and services to our customers.
We have strong business relationships with our customers and suppliers.
We view our customers as our long-term business partners and continuously strive to maintain close working relationships with each of them. We have also built strong relationships with our suppliers, enabling us to provide a comprehensive range of products and services, which in turns allows us to fulfil our customers’ needs promptly.
We have an experienced and committed management team.
Our management team possesses extensive experience, substantial technical expertise and valuable and resourceful business relationships in the industry of automotive and industrial spare parts. Our Executive Directors have more than 30 years of combined experience in the on-highway automotive and off-highway industrial businesses and have been instrumental and the key to our success. Jimmy Neo, our Chief Executive Officer, Edward Neo, our Deputy Chief Executive Officer, and CK Neo, our Chief Operating Officer, have been overseeing our Group’s operations and business development and managing the relationships with our partners since they joined our Group over 25 years ago. We are ably supported by an experienced and dedicated management team and knowledgeable staff members who have been carefully selected due to their individual expertise in the industry or trained by our existing staff. In addition, our Executive Directors and Executive Officers are actively involved in the day-to-day management and operational matters of the Group. Our executive teams typically make prompt key management decisions, which enables us to respond to our customers’ requirements swiftly and efficiently.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Market Penetration
In order to deepen our presence in Asia Pacific, we plan to continue (i) developing and expanding our sales, whether by brick-and-mortar stores or e-commerce or strategic partner alliance, (ii) diversifying the range of products that we offer, and (iii) increasing the scope and the availability of our products.
We work with strategic partners that have established warehouses or distribution centers in the markets that they operate in order to reduce the lead times for our supply chains and improve the lead times for our deliveries and the availability of our products, which we believe gives us an edge over many of our competitors.
We seek like-minded strategic business partners to create business collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic business partnerships to break into new geographical markets or to expand our presence in the current markets.
Product Line Expansion & Diversification
We work closely with our partners in order to offer a wider range of products to meet the needs of our customers. Further, by developing a strong relationship with our partners, we have been exposed to and engaged in new projects that have enabled us to branch out and diversify into different industries.
Enhancement and Innovation of Digital Capability
We are building and innovating our digital capabilities to drive this growth strategy in the following ways:
| ● | Digitize and streamline the work process by building an on-line platform, which is 24/7 platform that will allow customers to check availability and generate product orders completely online. | |
| ● | Integrate 3rd party platforms, such as a warehouse management system, and a fleet management system, to ensure the goods are delivered on time by creating more efficient internal inventory control and delivery systems. | |
| ● | Develop an e-commerce marketplace that includes detailed product descriptions including technical specifications where all of our customers can view and buy our products. The products will then be delivered to through collaboration with local distribution services such as Lalamove, Ninja Van, and similar last mile delivery service providers that can help expand the reach and efficiency in distributing our products in a cost-effective manner. |
Develop Warranty and Service Suite Offerings
We are exploring the creation of a new arm of business, where we provide warranty and after-sales services, and/or maintenance, and expand our repair and overhaul services, which would complement our current business segments that are primarily focused on the sale of products. At this time, we are seeking to develop this capability within our Company using existing personnel and resources, and will hire additional qualified employees, as needed, to provide the service work as this business expands. There are currently no ongoing negotiations with potential customers in these areas or any contracts that have been signed to date with potential business partners who would assist in the provision of these services. We have been awarded service contracts in the LSE sector to provide ongoing service and maintenance of hospital equipment. We believe that there is more opportunity in this space to provide direct services that will capitalize on our existing customer base, and allow us to capture more customers on the service end.
| 24 |
COMPETITION
The On-Highway Business and Off-Highway Business sectors are highly competitive, and there are many companies already serving these automotive and industrial sectors. However, we believe that the barrier to entry into these industries is relatively high due to heavy investment costs, large inventory requirements and the need for a competitor to develop extensive customer and supplier networks. We believe we stand out from and are able to compete against the competition because of our established reputation as a reliable supplier of on-highway automotive and off-highway industrial spare parts, the consistent quality of our products and services, our competitive pricing, and our strong relationships with our existing customers.
We believe that the following companies are our main competitors in the Singapore market:
| Competitors | Industry | |
| Kee Beng Filters (S) Pte Ltd | Industrial | |
| Tye Soon Limited* | Automotive | |
| SPK Singapore Pte Ltd | Automotive | |
| Golden Spring Export Pte Ltd | Automotive |
| * | listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited |
We believe that these companies are our competitors as they provide a similar range of products and services and compete with us for the same pool of customers. Because of the size and diversity of our industries, it is not possible to obtain independent statistics on the market shares captured by these individual companies in our industries. There is also no published or reliable statistics that can be used to accurately measure our market share.
Our ability to compete effectively depends on the selection and availability of our products to our customers, the location of our outlets, and our ability to deliver quality products and services at competitive prices to our customers in a timely manner. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with existing industry players or new entrants. If our competitors are able to provide comparable products and services at more competitive prices or products with better quality and services than us, we may lose our customers to our competitors. In addition, our competitors may have, among other things, significantly higher service levels, more competitive pricing, larger teams of professional staff, greater financial and technical resources, and/or better marketing strategies.
SALES AND MARKETING
Our sales and marketing team
Our Group’s sales and marketing activities are spearheaded by Jimmy Neo, our Chief Executive Officer, for the Off-Highway Business, and Edward Neo, our Deputy Chief Executive Officer, for the On-Highway Business. Both Jimmy Neo and Edward Neo are responsible for the formulation and planning of sales and marketing strategies and activities for their respective business segments and for the general business development activities of our Group as a whole.
Additionally, our sales managers visit and teleconference with our existing and potential customers periodically (in person and remotely) to understand their needs for new orders, obtain their feedback regarding our products, as well as to familiarize ourselves with current market trends and consumer preferences. The sales managers are in turn supported by customer service staff. Our products and services are marketed and sold through our retail outlets, wholesale, and e-commerce websites (such as Lazada, Carousell, and Qoo10).
| 25 |
The sales and marketing teams are actively involved in the marketing and retail of our products and services to existing and new customers. In particular, our sales and marketing teams apprise our customers of any promotion or launch of a new product range by our partners or by our Group. Additionally, the sales and marketing teams are responsible for generating new customer accounts, managing relationships with existing customers, and generating and concluding sales and contracts. They also attend to customers’ inquiries and submit timely sales estimates according to their specifications and requirements. In order to understand our customers’ needs, we communicate and follow up to ensure smooth and timely delivery.
Our sales and marketing activities
We carry out specific marketing activities to acquire new customers and to promote our products to existing customers, as follows:
| ● | Direct sales and marketing |
Our direct sales and marketing activities involve maintaining regular contact with our customers through meetings and site visits with both new and existing customers. During these meetings and site visits, our sales teams conduct direct marketing pitches and provide updates to our customers on our new products and the industry trends and technology. As such, we obtain feedback about our products and services, familiarize ourselves with market trends in order to meet the needs of our customers and further develop our product design and development teams. Additionally, an integral part of our after-sales service and customer support is following up with our customers. We believe that maintaining communication is key to allowing us to be better understand our customers’ needs.
| ● | Trade fairs and exhibitions |
These events serve as a platform for us to network, provide an opportunity for us to enhance sales, and raise brand awareness by marketing our products and services as well as to gather industry knowledge on the products and services of our competitors. Further, these events provide a valuable opportunity for us to reconnect with existing customers and meet prospective customers. We also participate, as one of the exhibitors, by showcasing the products that we supply in overseas trade fairs and exhibitions.
| ● | Sponsorship of events |
We sponsor events such as car racing in Thailand to increase awareness of our in-house brands such as REV-1 and VETTO, in which the sponsored racing cars display posters of our in-house products. Additionally, we organize marketing campaigns in which our commercial vehicles are used for deliveries, for example, that display posters of our in-house products to increase brand and product awareness.
We also participate in community projects and charity events, through donations and sponsorships such as the UOB Heartbeat Programme, as part of our marketing activities. We believe that through event sponsorships, we can leverage the power of collective credibility and create brand visibility to a larger audience. Further, as these events cater to niche audiences or member organizations, they provide another valuable opportunity for us to engage with our target markets.
| ● | Advertisements and media publicity |
We conduct, through our Group’s websites, promotion campaigns for our products and services for each business segment and for our in-house brands. Our customers are able to browse our webpages to view the range of products offered by us and contact us directly for their needs.
| 26 |
Sales Workflow
Generally, potential customers will approach us either through our customer service staff contact line or by patronizing our retail outlets to inquire about the price and availability of our products. We have a strict sales order policy to ensure that the sales orders that have been quoted and agreed to by the potential customer are complete and consistently prepared to our standards. The sales staff will prepare an estimate that takes into account, among other things, the product item, the brand of the product, the price of the product, credit and payment terms, and the mode of shipment. We facilitate the delivery of the products that are purchased locally, and for products that require export shipment, the quotation will reflect the appropriate shipping terms used for that purchase. At times, we do provide a discount ranging from 1% to 5% of the estimate if deemed necessary to stay competitive and to attract new and retain returning customers.
Our warehouse staff then packs and prepares the products for local delivery or export shipment. Our warehouse staff will also conduct stringent review and inspection of these products checking for quality, specifications, and any defect, in accordance with the requirements as stated in our relevant purchase contracts. Upon receiving confirmation of the mode of payment (that is either by cash on delivery or advance payment by the customer), our customer service staff will coordinate the delivery of the products with our internal delivery staff or with the courier service provider for products that are to be delivered locally, or with the appointed freight forwarder for export shipment. Thereafter, our customer service staff will forward the relevant shipping documents including commercial invoices, packing lists and bills of lading and/or airway bills to our customers by way of an email.
CREDIT POLICIES
Our Group adopts several credit policies, accompanied by a rigorous review system, to ensure consistent application of credit policies are applied, which are as follows:
Credit Evaluation Policy for Our Group’s Potential Customers
We have protocols in place for evaluating the credit of any of our Group’s potential customers (the “Potential Customer”). The Potential Customer first makes a request to a sales manager, whether in writing or otherwise, for a credit term and credit limit. The sales manager proposes a credit term, credit limit and shipment mode for the Potential Customer (the “Evaluation Proposal”) after a thorough assessment and evaluation of the Potential Customer’s risk profile, which includes a review of the Potential Customer’s business profile, track and payment record, creditworthiness, financial strengths, secured orders, and corporate and management structures. Thereafter, the Evaluation Proposal is evaluated by the sales manager’s immediate supervisor or the head of the sales department. If the Evaluation Proposal is approved, whether on any additional term and condition or otherwise, the relevant sales manager and/or customer service support personnel ensures adherence to the agreed upon terms, monitors for compliance to said terms, and seeks to rectify any breaches of the agreed upon terms.
At the end of each of our Group’s financial year, our Group’s respective accounts departments produce a list of our customer profiles and their respective credit terms, credit limits, history of sales and payments received for review by the relevant immediate supervisors and/or the heads of the respective accounts departments. This review helps ensure that the criteria used for analyzing creditworthiness are typically effective and allows for any necessary amendments and/or adjustments to credit terms granted.
Credit Request Policy for our Group’s vendors
For our vendors (the “Vendors”), our Group’s purchaser (the “Purchaser”) similarly evaluates and must get approval from an immediate supervisor or head of department, regarding credit proposals to Vendors setting forth credit term, credit limit, and mode of purchase (the “Request Proposal”). Request Proposals are compiled by reviewing business profiles, prior purchasing and payment records, creditworthiness, financial strengths, secured orders, and corporate and management. Should the Request Proposal be approved by the Vendor, whether as is or modified, the Purchaser ensures that the terms of the Request Proposal are followed, and regularly monitors for compliance.
At the end of the financial year, our Group’s respective accounts departments produce a list of Vendor profiles and respective Vendors’ credit terms, credit limits, history of sales and payments remitted for review by the relevant immediate supervisors and/or the heads of the respective accounts departments. If any amendments or adjustments seem necessary, the Purchaser shall seek to modify the terms directly with the Vendor.
| 27 |
Credit Note Policy
In the event that Potential Customers are deemed to be eligible to receive credit notes, the relevant accounts and/or customer service support personnel to submit an application for a credit note, together with the relevant supporting documents, to his or her immediate supervisor or head of department for review and approval (the “Application”). Should the Application be approved, whether as submitted or amended, the relevant accounts personnel issues the credit note to the Potential Customer, and, together with the customer service support personnel seek to seamlessly ensure that the Potential Customer adheres to the credit note terms in accordance with our Group’s policy on debts collection management, and oversee the accounts receivable of the Potential Customer for any outstanding debts and/or amounts owed by the Potential Customer.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our intellectual property rights are important to our business. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have registered 23 trademarks in Singapore and one (1) trademark under the Madrid Protocol in Australia.
Although our intellectual property is important to business operations and is a valuable asset, we do not believe that any single trademark is critical to the success of our business as a whole.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we are not involved in any intellectual property proceedings, and we have not received notice of any claim of infringement of any intellectual property right that may be threatened or pending, in which we may be involved either as a claimant or respondent.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2025, we employed a total of 162 persons (of which 146 were located in Singapore and 16 were located in Malaysia). Our employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we implement fair labor practices and generally maintain good employee relations and have not experienced high employee turnover historically.
INSURANCE
We maintain property insurance policies covering our equipment and facilities in accordance with customary industry practice. We carry occupational work injury, and medical insurance for our employees in compliance with applicable regulations. We also take out product liability insurance covering our in-house brand REV-1 products, and business liability insurance covering our business in general. In addition, we carry “key person” insurance for Jimmy Neo, Edward Neo and CK Neo through Soon Aik Global Pte Ltd. We will continue to review and assess our risk portfolio and make necessary and appropriate adjustments to our insurance practices to align with our needs and with industry practice in Singapore, in Malaysia and in the markets in which we operate.
LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any significant proceedings.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
As a company with operations primarily in Singapore, we are subject to extensive regulatory and legal requirements applicable to running our business. This overview is provided as general information only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice. You should consult your own advisers regarding the implication of the laws and regulations of Singapore on our business and operations. Violations of the laws and regulations typically result in the imposition of substantial monetary fines, in addition to the cost of remediation, subsequent fines for failure to promptly remediate such failure, and in some cases, imprisonment. We are also subject to regulations on our operations in Malaysia that are typical for a business with employees, including but not limited to employment law and taxes.
| 28 |
Laws and regulations relating to our business in Singapore
Our business operations are not subject to any special legislation or regulatory controls other than those generally applicable to companies and businesses incorporated and/or operating in Singapore. Below is an overview of the regulations that impact our business.
Environmental Public Health Act 1987
The Environmental Public Health Act 1987 of Singapore (the “EPHA”) is administered by the National Environment Agency (the “NEA”) and regulates, among other things, health requirements for buildings and public nuisances. Examples of matters covered by the EPHA are any factory or workplace deemed unclean, conditions relating to the breeding of flies or mosquitoes, and any premises or part of the premises of such construction or in such a state as to be dangerous.
Environmental Protection and Management Act 1999
Regulations relating to pollution control in Singapore through the regulation of the possession, control, storage, use and disposal of hazardous substances. Further, detailed records regarding the quantity, use and other information must be provided and updated, and persons authorized to store hazardous substances must ensure that agents and employees have received instruction and training to enable them to understand the nature of the dangers of all hazardous substances being stored, and the emergency action plan to be implemented in the event of any accident involving any such substances.
INNEOVA Industrial has a permit granted by the NEA to store and use one hazardous substance in the prescribed quantity and for the specific purpose.
Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006
Regulations to ensure that every employer has the duty to take practicable measures to ensure the safety and health of its employees at work, which measures include providing and maintaining a safe work environment, safety protocols, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies and ensuring that the employees have adequate instruction, information, training and supervision. The relevant regulatory body is the Ministry of Manpower (the “MOM”).
Pursuant to the Workplace Safety and Health (Noise) Regulations 2011 of Singapore, the occupier of a workplace must take reasonably practicable measures to reduce or control or limit the exposure of time to noise from any machinery or equipment used or from any process, operation or work carried out in the workplace, so that no person at work in the workplace is exposed or likely to be exposed to excessive noise.
Work Injury Compensation Act
The Work Injury Compensation Act 2019 of Singapore (the “WICA”), which is administered by the MOM, applies to all employees who are engaged under a contract of service or apprenticeship with an employer regardless of their level of earnings, and certain subcontractors, and provides medical expense coverage and other compensation for work related accidents or deaths. Under the WICA, every employer is required to insure and maintain insurance under approved policies unless specifically exempted, and is required to maintain work injury compensation insurance for all employees engaged in manual work.
Employment Act
The Employment Act 1968 of Singapore (the “Employment Act”) governs matters such as public holiday and sick leave entitlements, minimum days of annual leave, payment of salary and allowable deductions and release for wrongful dismissal, and also governs, among other things, working hours, overtime, rest days, holidays, payment of retrenchment benefit, priority of retirement benefit, annual wage supplements and other conditions of work or service.
| 29 |
Employment of Foreign Manpower Act
The employment of foreign employees in Singapore is governed by the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act 1990 of Singapore (the “EFMA”) and is regulated by the MOM. The EFMA prescribes the responsibilities and obligations of employers of foreign employees in Singapore. The EFMA provides that no person shall employ a foreign employee unless the foreign employee has obtained a valid work pass from the MOM.
In Singapore, the type of work pass to be issued to a foreigner is contingent on, among other things, the type of work and salary being received by the foreigner in question, and their education level, professional qualifications and any special or technical skills they may possess. In addition, the employment of foreign workers is also subject to sector-specific rules regulated by the MOM through the following policy instruments: (a) business activity; (b) approved source countries; (c) the imposition of security bonds and levies; and (d) quota (or dependency ratio ceilings) based on the ratio of local to foreign workers.
Business activity
To be considered to be under the services sector, a company must register that its principal business activity falls under one of the categories of business activities under the services sector provided by the MOM such as commerce (retail and wholesale trade). Separately, to be considered to be under the manufacturing sector, a company must meet certain requirements as provided by the MOM, such as having a valid factory registration operating in a designated industrial setting, and ensure that the company continues to meet the requirements:
Approved source countries
The approved source countries for foreign workers in the services sector are Malaysia, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and North Asian sources (the “NAS”) countries. The minimum age for all non-domestic foreign workers is 18 and Malaysian foreign workers must be under 58 years of age and non-Malaysian foreign workers must be under 50 years of age in order to apply for a work permit. In respect of the manufacturing sector, all workers can only work up to 60 years of age.
There is a list of requirements that we must abide by when hiring foreign workers, depending on the age, experience and country of origin of the foreign worker, and there are caps on the maximum number of years that various categories of foreign employees can be employed in Singapore, thus limiting the number of foreign workers we can use to run our business.
Required safety courses
For the manufacturing sector, foreign workers who handle metals and machinery in the metalworking industry, such as certain of our foreign workers, must take a Metalworking Safety Orientation Course or an Apply Workplace Safety and Health in Metal Work course before their work permits can be issued, and such courses may be conducted by either the Occupational Safety and Health Training and Promotion Centre or other training institutions approved by the Chief Inspector appointed by the MOM.
Central Provident Fund Act
The Central Provident Fund (the “CPF”) system is a mandatory social security savings scheme funded by contributions from employers and employees, pursuant to which an employer is obliged to make CPF contributions for all employees who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents who are employed in Singapore by an employer, with limited exemptions.
Customs regulations
Goods exported from Singapore are regulated under the Customs Act 1960 of Singapore (the “Customs Act”). To export goods from Singapore, the exporter is required to declare the goods to Singapore Customs, a department under the Ministry of Finance, which is the lead agency for trade facilitation and revenue enforcement. The Singapore Goods and Services Tax (the “GST”) is not levied on goods exported from Singapore. A Customs export permit is required for, among other things, the export of locally manufactured goods or local GST paid goods, the export of goods from free trade zones, dutiable goods from licensed warehouses and non-dutiable goods from a zero-rated warehouse.
| 30 |
Intellectual property rights
The protection of industrial designs is provided for under the Registered Designs Act 2000 of Singapore. Inventions are protected in Singapore under the Patents Act 1994 of Singapore and may be registered either through a domestic application filed with the Registry of Patents within the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (the “IPOS”) or an international application filed in accordance with the Patent Cooperation Treaty, with the Registry of Patents acting as the receiving office for the application. Trademarks may be protected both under the Trade Marks Act 1998 of Singapore (the “TMA”) and under common law. These two (2) systems are independent of each other. Protection under the TMA is conditional upon registration of the trademark with the Registry of Trade Marks within the IPOS.

KEY FACTORS AFFECTING THE RESULTS OF OUR GROUP’S OPERATIONS
Our financial condition and results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, including those factors set out in the section headed “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report and those set out below.
| ● | Demand from our major customer groups – Our aggregate sales generated from our five (5) largest customers were approximately 21.3% and 22.4% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. | |
| In particular, our sales to our top one (1) largest customer amounted to approximately $4.2 million and $3.4 million, representing approximately 7.3% and 5.5% of our revenue for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. | ||
| Accordingly, our sales are significantly affected by the demands of our largest customer due to vigorous price competition in the supply chain, supply chain shortage and disruption, and inflationary cost pressure as our customers will seek to purchase products optimizing price and timing of delivery. | ||
| ● | Fluctuations in our cost of revenues – Finished goods are the largest part of our cost of revenue, representing approximately 80.8% and 80.4% of our total cost of revenues for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. | |
| Prices of finished goods are subject to the suppliers’ price adjustments, and thereby change from time to time due to the changes in the price of raw materials, labor and production costs that our suppliers reflect in our purchase price. Fluctuation in the price, availability and quality of the finished goods that our suppliers use to manufacture our key components, as well as the cost of labor and transportation impact the price of our finished goods, and ultimately, the price of the finished goods that we sell. We may be unable to pass all or any of these higher costs on to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. The prices at which we purchase such finished goods are determined principally by market forces such as the relevant supply and demand of such finished goods, as well as our bargaining power with our suppliers. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the majority of our finished goods were commonly available from the market, but our cost of procurement increased significantly due to the inflationary cost pressure, increased material cost, labor shortages and trade restriction. We are exploring how to diversify our procurement networks to lower purchasing prices, such as through the consolidation of customer orders to negotiate better pricing. We expect continued fluctuations in the cost of finished goods to affect our margins. All of the finished goods we procure, including spare-parts and key components, are sourced directly from various regional suppliers spanning from Asia to the Middle East in an effort to ensure availability and adequate supply, as well as to optimize efficient delivery to our customers. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and working capital requirements primarily related to our operating expenses. Historically, we have met our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from our operations and loans from banking facilities. Going forward, we expect to fund our working capital and other liquidity requirements from various sources, including cash generated from our operations, loans from banking facilities, the net proceeds from the Public Offering and other equity and debt financings as and when appropriate.
| 42 |
Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases and other operating leases. We lease all our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available from our major vendors and are required to prepay for the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity.
We had the following contractual obligations and lease commitments as of December 31, 2025:
| Contractual Obligations | Total | Less than 1 year | 1-3 Years | 3-5 Years | ||||||||||||

Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
| 45 |
| ● | Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial years presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the allowance for current expected credit losses on accounts and other receivables, impairment loss on inventories, assumptions used in assessing right-of-use assets, impairment of long-lived assets, useful lives of property and equipment, and realization of deferred tax assets.
| ● | Basis of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
| ● | Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction |
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and subsidiaries are operating in Singapore and Malaysia, maintain their books and record in their local currency, Singapore Dollars (“SGD”) and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), respectively, which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates during the financial year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.
Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
| ● | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three (3) months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in Singapore and Malaysia.
| ● | Restricted Cash |
Restricted cash represents fixed deposits held by foreign subsidiaries of the Group with DBS Bank, with maturities within 12 months. These fixed deposits have been pledged to the Bank as collateral security and guarantees under the Group’s trust receipt facilities. Under the terms of the relevant facility agreements, the Bank is entitled to apply these fixed deposits against any outstanding obligations owed by the relevant subsidiaries in the event of a failure to repay amounts due. Accordingly, these deposits are not available for the Group’s general use.
| 46 |
| ● | Accounts Receivable, net |
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers in the sale of products.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASC 326 requires the application of a credit loss model based prospectively on current expected credit losses (CECL), and replaces the previous model based retrospectively on past incurred losses. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company carries accounts receivable at the face amounts less a reserve for estimated credit losses.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements overs its accounts receivable balances.
| ● | Inventories |
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the average cost method. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. At the point of loss recognition, a new cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
| ● | Property and Equipment, net |
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date beginning when the assets are placed in service and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Expected useful life | ||
| Leasehold factory premise | 42 years | |
| Leasehold improvement | 3-5 years | |
| Tools and equipment | 3-8 years | |
| Furniture, fixtures and fittings | 5-8 years | |
| Office equipment | 5-7 years | |
| Computer equipment | 3 years | |
| Motor vehicles | 5-10 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | 7 years |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while costs that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When property and equipment are retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
| ● | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
| 47 |
| ● | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes its sales of goods and services from contracts with customers, which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”).
ASC 606 establishes a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer service to a customer).
The majority of the Company’s income is derived from contracts with customers in the sale of products and services, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 606, as follows:
Product sales consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, depending upon the method of distribution and shipping terms set forth in the customer contract, (b) the Company has a present right to payment, (c) the customer has legal title to the products, and (d) the customer bears the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. Based on the Company’s historical practices and shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and invoices, these criteria are generally met when the control of the product transfers to the customer, at which point the customer obtains legal title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the products.
The Company records its revenues on product sales, net of good & service taxes (“GST”) upon the services are rendered and the title and risk of loss of products are fully transferred to the customers. The Company is subject to GST which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 9% on the invoiced value of sales in Singapore.
The Company records estimated sales returns, rebates, and other allowances as reductions to revenue at the time revenue is recognized. Estimates are based on historical experience, contractual terms, and current expectations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| ● | Sales and Marketing |
Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs.
| ● | Government Grant |
A government grant or subsidy is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the grant; and (b) the grant will be received. When the Company receives government grant or subsidies but the conditions attached to the grants have not been fulfilled, such government subsidies are deferred and recorded under other payables and accrued expenses, and other long-term liability. The classification of short-term or long-term liabilities is depended on the management’s expectation of when the conditions attached to the grant can be fulfilled.
| ● | Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statement of shareholder’s equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
| 48 |
| ● | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of income taxes and uncertain tax positions in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions recognized in the financial statements are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.
| ● | Leases |
Effective from January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than 12 months. It requires for leases longer than one (1) year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the FASB including ASC Topic 840, Leases.
The accounting update also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements.
| ● | Retirement Plan Costs |
Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operation as the related employee service are provided. The Company is required to make contribution to their employees under a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution pension scheme for its eligible full-times employees in Singapore and Malaysia. The Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the participants’ relevant income based on their ages and wages level.
| ● | Segment Reporting |
FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company has three (3) reporting business segments.
| 49 |
| ● | Related Parties |
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
| ● | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

| ● | Credit Risk |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of S$100,000 (approximately $77,869) if the bank with which an individual or a company hold its eligible deposit fails. For deposits held in Malaysia, the Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (“PIDM”) provides deposit insurance protection up to MYR 250,000 (approximately $61,692) per depositor per member institution. As of December 31, 2025, cash balance of approximately $1.0 million and restricted cash of approximately $0.3 million were maintained at financial institutions in Singapore and Malaysia, of which approximately $0.7 million was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.
For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the allowance for current expected credit losses are based on the estimated realizable value. The Company identifies credit risk on a customer-by-customer basis. The information is monitored regularly by management. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of customers having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions.
| ● | Liquidity Risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections. If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.
| ● | Fair Value Measurement |
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1: Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and | |
| ● | Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, amount due to a related party, accounts payable, escrow liabilities, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of note payable approximate the carrying amount. The Company accounts for loans receivable at cost, subject to impairment testing. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans.
The Company’s non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies, which are without readily determinable market values and are classified as Level 3, due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management’s judgment.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (the “EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, the EGC 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires specific disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The adoption did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. ASU2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
Impact of Inflation
According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the “MAS”), the year-over-year percentage changes in the consumer price index for 2025 and 2024 were 0.7% and 2.4%, respectively as reported by the MAS at https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/monetary-policy-statements/2026/mas-onetary-policy-statement-29jan26. Inflation in Singapore has not materially affected our profitability and operating results. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be unaffected by higher inflation rates in Singapore or globally in the future.
Seasonality
We have not observed any significant seasonal trends. Our Directors believe that there is no apparent seasonality factor affecting the industry that our Group is operating in.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have short-term bank loans outstanding. Although interest rates for our short-term loans are typically fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically 12 months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.
| 52 |
Credit Risk
Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. We manage credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the relevant economy and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. We identify credit risk collectively based on industry, geography and customer type. In measuring the credit risk of our sales to our customers, we mainly reflect the “probability of default” by the customer on its contractual obligations and consider the current financial position of the customer and the current and likely future exposures to the customer.
Liquidity Risk
We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk that we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and almost all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in Singapore Dollars (“S$”) and Japanese Yen (“JPY”). Our assets are denominated primarily in Singapore Dollars As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the US$ and S$ and JPY. If the S$ and JPY depreciates against the US$, the value of our S$ revenues and JPY revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US$ financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

Directors’ Agreements
Each of our independent directors has entered into a Director’s Agreement with the Company. The terms and conditions of such Directors’ Agreements are similar in all material aspects. Each Director’s Agreement is for an initial term of one (1) year and will continue until the Director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Each Director will be up for re-election each year at the annual shareholders’ meeting and, upon re-election, the terms and provisions of his or her Director’s Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any Director’s Agreement may be terminated for any or no reason by the Director or at a meeting called expressly for that purpose by a vote of the shareholders holding more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote.
Under the Directors’ Agreements, the initial annual salary that is payable to each of our independent directors is as follows:
| Name of Director | Compensation (S$) | |||
| Yee Yen Han | 30,000 | |||
| Chin Chye Koh | 24,000 | |||
| Gang Wong | 24,000 | |||
* Our Directors who are employees will receive their salaries as such, but no additional compensation for also serving as a director. See “Summary Compensation Table” above.
In addition, our Directors will be entitled to participate in such share option scheme as may be adopted by the Company, as amended from time to time. The number of options granted, and terms of those options will be determined from time to time by a vote of the Board, provided that each Director shall abstain from voting on any such resolution or resolutions relating to the grant of options to that Director.
Other than as disclosed above, none of our Directors have entered into a service agreement with our Company or any of our subsidiaries that provides for benefits upon termination of employment.
| 59 |
Compensation Recovery Policy
On May 1, 2025, our board adopted a compensation recovery policy, also known as a Clawback Policy (the “Policy”) permitting the Company to seek the recoupment of incentive compensation received by any of the Company’s current and former executive officers (as determined by our board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules) and such other senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the board (collectively, the “Covered Executives”). The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by our board. If our board cannot determine the amount of excess incentive compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement. Refer to Exhibit 97.1 of this Annual Report for the Company’s Policy.
ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our share capital by:
| ● | each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5.0% of our shares; | |
| ● | each of our named Executive Officers; | |
| ● | each of our Directors; and | |
| ● | all of our current Executive Officers and Directors as a group. |
Applicable percentage ownership is based on 16,170,624 Ordinary Shares of our Company issued and outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report.
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our shares listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
| 60 |
Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is 14 Ang Mo Kio Street 63, Singapore 569116.

Our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association
The following are summaries of material provisions of the Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association and of the Companies Act (as revised), insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.
Objects of Our Company. Under our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association, the objects of our Company are unrestricted, and we are capable of exercising all the functions of a natural person of full capacity irrespective of any question of corporate benefit, as provided by section 27(2) of the Companies Act (as revised).
Ordinary Shares. Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. We may not issue shares to a bearer. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares.
Dividends. The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of Directors. Our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of the funds of our Company lawfully available therefor. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our Company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account; provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid out of our share premium if this would result in our Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Voting Rights. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by way of a poll save that in the case of a physical meeting, the chairman of the meeting may decide that a vote be on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by:
| ● | at least three (3) shareholders present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; | |
| ● | shareholder(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; and | |
| ● | shareholder(s) present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative and holding shares in us conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right. |
Major shareholders are not entitled to any additional voting rights other than those already provided by Ordinary Shares.
An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the issued and outstanding ordinary shares at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name, making changes to our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association, a reduction of our share capital and the winding up of our Company. Our shareholders may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.
Provisions regarding Directors.
| ● | Directors must disclose the nature of their interest in any contract or arrangement in which they have an interest that would reasonably be likely to affect a Director’s status as an Independent Director, or that would constitute a “related party transaction” requires the approval of the Audit Committee. If so approved, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant Board meeting, a Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such Director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting. | |
| ● | The Directors shall receive such remuneration as the Board may from time to time determine. Directors are entitled to be repaid or prepaid all traveling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred in attending meetings of the Board or committees of the board or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of shares or of debenture of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of duties as a Director. |
| 64 |
| ● | The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money and to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital of the Company and, subject to the Act, to issue debentures, bonds and other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party. | |
| ● | There is no age limit requirement to be a Director, nor a retirement or non-retirement age limit. | |
| ● | No Director shall be required to hold any shares of the Company by way of qualification and a Director who is not a Member shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend and speak at any general meeting of the Company and of all classes of shares of the Company. |
General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act (as revised) to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that we shall, if required by the Companies Act (as revised), in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our Directors. All general meetings (including an annual general meeting, any adjourned general meeting or postponed meeting) may be held as a physical meeting at such times and in any part of the world and at one or more locations, as a hybrid meeting or as an electronic meeting, as may be determined by our board of Directors in its absolute discretion.
Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by the chairperson of our board of Directors or by a majority of our board of Directors. Advance notice of not less than ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of, at the time when the meeting proceeds to business, two (2) shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-third of all votes attaching to issued and outstanding shares in our company entitled to vote at such general meeting.
The Companies Act (as revised) does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares of our Company entitled to vote at general meetings, our board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form designated by the relevant stock exchange or any other form approved by our board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ordinary shares may also be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the relevant stock exchange.
Our board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:
| ● | the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; | |
| ● | the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares; | |
| ● | the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required; | |
| ● | in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four (4); and | |
| ● | a fee of such maximum sum as the relevant stock exchange may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our Directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof. |
If our Directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two (2) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required in accordance with the rules of the relevant stock exchange, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of Directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board may determine.
Liquidation. On the winding up of our Company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, such the assets will be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.
Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of Directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.
Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares. We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our board of Directors. Our company may also repurchase any of our shares on such terms and in such manner as have been approved by our board of Directors. Under the Companies Act (as revised), the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our Company’s profits, share premium account or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital if our Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act (as revised) no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
Variations of Rights of Shares. Whenever the capital of our Company is divided into different classes the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be varied with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.
Issuance of Additional Shares. Our post-offering Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association authorizes our board of Directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our board of Directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.
Our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association also authorize our board of Directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preference shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preference shares, the terms and rights of that series, including, among other things:
| ● | the designation of the series; | |
| ● | the number of shares of the series; | |
| ● | the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights and voting rights; and | |
| ● | the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. |
Our board of Directors may issue preference shares without action by our shareholders to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.
| 66 |
Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association have provisions that provide our shareholders the right to inspect our register of shareholders without charge, and to receive our annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:
| ● | authorize our board of Directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and | |
| ● | limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders. |
However, under Cayman Islands law, our Directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Memorandum and Amended and Restated Articles of Association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our Company.
Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (as revised). The Companies Act (as revised) distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:
| ● | does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies; | |
| ● | is not required to open its register of members for inspection; | |
| ● | does not have to hold an annual general meeting; | |
| ● | may issue negotiable or bearer shares or shares with no par value; | |
| ● | may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance); | |
| ● | may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands; | |
| ● | may register as an exempted limited duration company; and | |
| ● | may register as a segregated portfolio company. |
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
Material Contracts
Our material contracts, other than those entered into in the ordinary course of business, are described in Item 4, Item 6 and Item 7 or elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Dividends and Dividend Policy
No dividends have been declared or paid by the companies comprising our Group for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
We have adopted a dividend policy, according to which our board of directors shall take into account, among other things, the following factors when deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount: (a) operating and financial results; (b) cash flow situation; (c) business conditions and strategies; (d) future operations and earnings; (e) taxation considerations; (f) interim dividend paid, if any; (g) capital requirement and expenditure plans; (h) interests of shareholders; (i) statutory and regulatory restrictions; (j) any restrictions on payment of dividends; and (k) any other factors that our board may consider relevant. The payment of dividends, in certain circumstances is also subject to the approval of our Shareholders, the Companies Act (as revised) and our Articles of Association as well as any other applicable laws. Currently, we do not have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio.
| 67 |
Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we are a holding company and depend on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares.
Exchange Controls
There are no foreign exchange controls or foreign exchange regulations under current applicable laws of the various places of incorporation of our significant subsidiaries that would affect the payment or remittance of dividends.
Material Income Tax Considerations
The following summary of certain Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and the United States. The Company does not conduct operations in the PRC and has no PRC operating entities. Accordingly, a discussion of PRC tax regulation is not applicable. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. To the extent that this discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it is the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law.
Cayman Islands Tax Considerations
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered into with the United Kingdom in 2010 but otherwise is not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
We have received an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax or duty to be levied on profits, income or on gains or appreciation shall apply to our Company or its operations; and that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable (a) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of our Company; or (b) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act of the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Ordinary Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.
No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of our Ordinary Shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of our Ordinary Shares.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that acquire our Ordinary Shares and hold our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their specific circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (for example, certain financial institutions (including banks), cooperatives, pension plans, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, partnerships and their partners, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value), investors that will hold their Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not discuss any non-United States tax, state or local tax, or non-income tax (such as the U.S. federal gift or estate tax) considerations, or any consequences under the alternative minimum tax or Medicare tax on net investment income. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.
General
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.
If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner as a U.S. Holder, as described above, and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Ordinary Shares and partners in such partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.
Dividends
The entire amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any non-U.S. taxes withheld therefrom, if any) generally will constitute dividends to the extent such distributions are paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, and generally will be taxed as ordinary income in the year received by such U.S. Holder. To the extent amounts paid as distributions on the Ordinary Shares exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will not be dividends, but instead will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in the Ordinary Shares with respect to which the distribution is made, and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not intend to compute (or to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to compute) our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder will be unable to establish that a distribution is not out of earnings and profits and should expect to treat the full amount of each distribution as a “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes.
| 69 |
Any dividends that we pay will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for United States foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed (at a rate not exceeding any applicable treaty rate) on dividends received on our Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Dividends paid in non-U.S. currency will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to a spot market exchange rate in effect on the date that the dividends are received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether such foreign currency is in fact converted into U.S. dollars on such date. Such U.S. Holder will have a tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes in the foreign currency received equal to that U.S. dollar value. If such dividends are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect thereof. If the foreign currency so received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, such U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to such U.S. Holder and generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received by a U.S. Holder that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to receipt.
Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares
A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares, in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined for federal income tax purposes, in such Ordinary Shares, each amount determined in U.S. dollars. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one (1) year and will generally be United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations, particularly with regard to shareholders who are individuals. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under its particular circumstances.
A U.S. Holder that receives a currency other than U.S. dollars on the disposition of our Ordinary Shares will realize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the non-U.S. currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale (or, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a recognized exchange and in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. Holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. Holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot rate on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot market exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the U.S. dollar value of the currency received on the settlement date. Any gain or loss on a subsequent disposition or conversion of the currency will be United States source ordinary income or loss.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
For United States federal income tax purposes, a non-United States corporation, such as our Company, will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or “PFIC” if, in the case of any particular taxable year, either (a) 75.0% or more of our gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (b) 50.0% or more of the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based upon our current and expected income and assets (including goodwill and taking into account the proceeds from our recent IPO) and the expected market price of our Ordinary Shares following our IPO, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future.
However, while we do not expect to be or become a PFIC, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC for any taxable year is a fact-intensive inquiry made annually that depends, in part, upon the composition and classification of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our Ordinary Shares may cause us to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our Ordinary Shares (which may be volatile). The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in our IPO. It is also possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income or assets for purposes of the analysis set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b), above or the valuation of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, which may result in our company being or becoming a PFIC for the current or future taxable years.
| 70 |
If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three (3) preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of Ordinary Shares. Under the PFIC rules:
| ● | such excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares; | |
| ● | such amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, each a pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income; | |
| ● | such amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to the U.S. Holder for that year; and | |
| ● | an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year. |
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares and we own any equity in a non-United States entity that is also a PFIC, or a lower-tier PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of the entities in which we may own equity.
As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that certain requirements are met. The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines is a qualified exchange that has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Although we intend to apply for the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we cannot guarantee that our listing will be approved. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that, once listed, our Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and regularly traded on such exchange. U.S. Holders are advised to consult their tax advisors as to whether the Ordinary Shares are considered marketable for these purposes.
If an effective mark-to-market election is made with respect to our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the fair market value of such Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.
If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not a PFIC.
| 71 |
Because a mark-to-market election generally cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that a PFIC may own, a U.S. Holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to our Ordinary Shares may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our non-United States subsidiaries if any of them is a PFIC.
If a U.S. Holder owns our Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such holder would generally be required to file an annual IRS Form 8621. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the potential tax consequences to such holder if we are or become a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election.
THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN THE OUR ORDINARY SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES IN LIGHT OF SUCH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the “Certifying Officer”), conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of December 31, 2025 were (i) lack of Experienced Accounting Personnel: The Company does not maintain accounting staff and resources with sufficient knowledge of U.S. GAAP reporting requirements. (ii) the Company lacks comprehensive accounting policies and a procedures manual in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The management plans to remediate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified by implementing the following measures: recruit qualified accounting personnel with sufficient knowledge and experience to address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures under U.S. GAAP.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, we qualify as an “emerging growth company as we recorded revenues less than US$1.235 billion in our most recent fiscal year, which allows us to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
| 73 |
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that there were no control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
For the financial year ended December 31, 2025, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting period covered by this Annual Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 16. RESERVED
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
Our Board of Directors has determined that the Company has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each member of our audit committee is “independent” for audit committee purposes as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq, and that each has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the audit committee. Our board of directors has designated Mr. Han Yee Yan as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC.
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, our Audit Committee is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to U.S. companies listed on Nasdaq. Therefore, we have a fully independent Audit Committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. However, because we are a foreign private issuer, our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three (3) members and to affirmatively determine that all members are “independent,” using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.

To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of INNEOVA Holdings Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2024 and 2023 financial statements to retrospectively furnish comparative information related to the transactions under common control, as described in Note 1. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2024 and 2023 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2024 and 2023 financial statements taken as a whole. The previously issued financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024, were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 14, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
Basis for Opinion

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As the transaction was between entities under common control, the acquisition was accounted for as a common control transaction. No goodwill or bargain purchase gain was recognized as a result of the transaction.
On April 11, 2025, INNEOVA Group Limited and Autozone Automotive Pte. Ltd. entered an agreement relating to the sale and purchase of shares of INNEOVA Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“INNEOVA Malaysia”), the control of the entities has remained under the control of INNEOVA Holdings Limited. The acquisition was accounted for as a common control transaction. No goodwill or bargain purchase gain was recognized as a result of the transaction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and working capital requirements primarily related to our operating expenses. Historically, we have met our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of cash generated from our operations and loans from banking facilities. Going forward, we expect to fund our working capital and other liquidity requirements from various sources, including cash generated from our operations, loans from banking facilities, the net proceeds from the Public Offering and other equity and debt financings as and when appropriate.
Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses, capital expenditures and contractual obligations with respect to facility leases and other operating leases. We lease all our office facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have limited credit available from our major vendors and are required to prepay for the majority of our inventory purchases, which further constrains our cash liquidity.

NOTE-2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
● Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
● Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the financial years presented. Significant accounting estimates in the period include the allowance for current expected credit losses on accounts and other receivables, impairment loss on inventories, assumptions used in assessing right-of-use assets, impairment of long-lived assets, useful lives of property and equipment, and realization of deferred tax assets.
● Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
● Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and subsidiaries are operating in Singapore and Malaysia, maintain their books and record in their local currency, Singapore Dollars (“SGD”) and Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), respectively, which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing for the financial years. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.
| F-10 |
Translation of amounts from SGD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
| Financial Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||
| Year-end SGD:US$ exchange rate | ||||||||||||
| Annual average SGD:US$ exchange rate | ||||||||||||
Translation of amounts from MYR into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
| Financial Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||
| Year-end MYR:US$ exchange rate | ||||||||||||
| Annual average MYR:US$ exchange rate | ||||||||||||
Foreign exchange gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are translated, as the case may be, at the rate on the date of the transaction and included in the results of operations as incurred.
● Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three (3) months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in Singapore and Malaysia. There was no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
● Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents fixed deposits held by foreign subsidiaries of the Group with DBS Bank, with maturities within 12 months. These fixed deposits have been pledged to DBS Bank as collateral security and guarantees under the Group’s trust receipt facilities. Under the terms of the relevant facility agreements, DBS Bank is entitled to apply these fixed deposits against any outstanding obligations owed by the relevant subsidiaries in the event of a failure to repay amounts due. Accordingly, these deposits are not available for the Group’s general use.
● Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers in the sale of products.
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASC 326”). ASC 326 requires the application of a credit loss model based prospectively on current expected credit losses
(CECL), and replaces the previous model based retrospectively on past incurred losses. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified
retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company carries accounts receivable at the face amounts
less a reserve for estimated credit losses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, allowance for credit loss was approximately $
The Company does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements overs its accounts receivable balances.
● Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the average cost method. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. At the point of loss recognition, a new cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
| F-11 |
● Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date beginning when the assets are placed in service and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
| Expected useful life | ||
| Leasehold factory premise | ||
| Leasehold improvement | ||
| Tools and equipment | ||
| Furniture, fixtures and fittings | ||
| Office equipment | ||
| Computer equipment | ||
| Motor vehicles | ||
| Machinery and equipment |
Leasehold factory premise and improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while costs that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When property and equipment are retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
● Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
● Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes its sales of goods and services from contracts with customers, which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”).
ASC 606 establishes a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer service to a customer).
| F-12 |
The majority of the Company’s income is derived from contracts with customers in the sale of products and services, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 606, as follows:
Product sales consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (a) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, depending upon the method of distribution and shipping terms set forth in the customer contract, (b) the Company has a present right to payment, (c) the customer has legal title to the products, and (d) the customer bears the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. Based on the Company’s historical practices and shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and invoices, these criteria are generally met when the control of the product transfers to the customer, at which point the customer obtains legal title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the products.
The Company records its revenues on product sales, net of good & service taxes (“GST”) upon the services are rendered and the title and risk of loss of products are fully transferred to the customers. The Company is subject to GST which is levied on the majority of the products at the rate of 9% on the invoiced value of sales in Singapore.
The Company records estimated sales returns, rebates, and other allowances as reductions to revenue at the time revenue is recognized. Estimates are based on historical experience, contractual terms, and current expectations. Actual results may differ from these estimates. For the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the sales returns allowance was $, $ and $, respectively.
● Contract Balances
Deferred revenue consists of customer payment in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers at the beginning of the contractual period. Amounts anticipated to be recognized within one (1) year of the balance sheet date are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue, current.
The
balance of deferred revenue will fluctuate based on timing of invoices and recognition of revenue. The amount of revenue recognized
for the financial years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of each period was
approximately $
● Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel,
and the costs of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense
was $
● Government Grant
A government grant or subsidy is not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the grant; and (b) the grant will be received. When the Company receives government grant or subsidies but the conditions attached to the grants have not been fulfilled, such government subsidies are deferred and recorded under other payables and accrued expenses, and other long-term liability. The classification of short-term or long-term liabilities is dependent on the management’s expectation of when the conditions attached to the grant can be fulfilled.
| F-13 |
● Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying statement of shareholder’s equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
● Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of income taxes and uncertain tax positions in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions recognized in the financial statements are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.
For
the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did
The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.
● Leases
Effective from January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than 12 months. It requires for leases longer than one (1) year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the FASB including ASC Topic 840, Leases.
● Retirement Plan Costs
Contributions
to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements
of operation as the related employee service are provided. The Company is required to make contribution to their employees under a government-mandated
multi-employer defined contribution pension scheme for its eligible full-times employees in Singapore and Malaysia. The Company is required
to contribute a specified percentage of the participants’ relevant income based on their ages and wages level. For the financial
years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, approximately $
| F-14 |
● Segment Reporting
FASB
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent
with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and
major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. For the financial years ended December
31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company has three
(
INNEOVA’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the Company. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA for each segment as the measure of segment profit or loss to allocate resources to each segment and to compare the operating performance of the Company’s properties with those of its competitors as a way to assess performance. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-operating income and expenses.
● Related Parties
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
● Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
| F-15 |
● Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are
maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management.
From April 1, 2024 onwards, the Singapore Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of S$
For accounts receivable, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the allowance for current expected credit losses are based on the estimated realizable value. The Company identifies credit risk on a customer-by-customer basis. The information is monitored regularly by management. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of customers having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions.
● Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and | |
| ● | Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
| F-16 |
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, amount due to related parties, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to related parties, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of bank borrowings approximately the carrying amount.
● Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is an “emerging growth company” (the “EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, the EGC 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.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires specific disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. ASU2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE-8 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS, NET
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the fiscal 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one (1) year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.
Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
