PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, is a corporation organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications including technical textiles. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we are the world’s leading company in the research, development, and production of commercially scalable and cost-effective recombinant spider silk fiber. Our primary proprietary fiber technology utilizes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry. We are introducing materials with innovative properties into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning, weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products.
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency, and flexibility for use in our target markets, including the specialty fiber and technical textile industries. We believe that the genetically engineered protein-based fibers we seek to produce have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. Our technology holds, what we believe to be, the potential for life-saving ballistic resistant materials. Other potential applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.
Through our technologies, the introduction of the gene sequence based on those found in native spider silk, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating. Our recombinant spider silk fibers incorporate the silk proteins found in spider silk with native silkworm silk proteins. This combination of native silkworm proteins combined with spider silk protein structures results in new and unique recombinant silk fibers. This technology is in essence a protein expression platform which has other potential applications including diagnostics and pharmaceutical production. Moreover, our technologies are “green” inasmuch as our fibers and textiles are derived from nature and do not use any petrochemicals as an input into the fibers.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2025 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Developments
In 2024 we made substantial progress in improving robustness of our silk rearing operatoins. We are accelerating our hybridization and breeding program to further increase production robustness and cocoon size.
On January 24, 2024, we signed a memorandum of understand with the Vietnam Sericulture Association (VSA) and the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research & Experiment Center (LAREC) to enhance sericulture in Vietnam through the expanded application of the Company’s spider silk silkworm technology.
On January 14, 2025, the Company was granted a new Investment Registration Certificate and an Enterprise Registration Certificate for its production operations in Vietnam. This registration formed a new entity, Prodigy Silk Co. Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories. Prodigy Silk effectively replaces Prodigy Textiles, which operated in a different province.
On April 2, 2024, the Company signed final agreements with the VSA and LAREC.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On January 21, 2025, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the SEPA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.14.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $10 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Sales of the shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by the Investor, in certain circumstances as described below.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to the Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.
In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any common stock under the SEPA which, when aggregated with all other common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of a number of shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of common shares. In addition, in no event shall an Advance exceed the number of common shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the registration statement then in effect.
The Company paid the Investor a structuring fee in an amount of $25,000. Additionally, the Company paid a commitment fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Fee”) consisting of such number of Common Shares that is equal to the Commitment Fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the Common Shares during the 3 Trading Days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Shares are are included on the initial Registration Statement.
| 5 |
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to the Commitment Amount. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer their respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions, and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds received by the Company under the SEPA will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to the Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to the Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Product
Our products exploit the unique characteristics of spider silk and variants thereof. Such fibers possess unique mechanical properties in terms of strength, resilience, and flexibility.
Products our competitors are developing utilize unique characteristics from other living systems including other species of spiders and non-spider species and artificial constructs of the Company’s creation. Such fibers possess unique mechanical properties in terms of strength, resilience, flexibility among others. Through the use of genetic engineering, we believe that we have produced a variety of unique transgenic silkworm strains that produce recombinant spider silk. Our recombinant spider silk fiber incorporates the silk proteins found in spider silk with the native silkworm silk proteins. This combination of native silkworm proteins combined with spider silk protein structures results in a new and unique recombinant silk fiber.
Other Products
We are continuing to develop new recombinant silks and other protein-based fibers and materials using our genetic engineering capabilities. The Company leverages the latest in genetic engineering technology to develop new silk and protein technologies that it believes will have significant advantages over our legacy technology which created Dragon Silk and Monster Silk. Chief among these is the potential to produce spider silks with greatly increased purity and performance. Due to the biocompatible and biodegradable properties of silk, we believe that the materials developed using this process will create opportunities for products in the medical industry, including sutures, grafts, and implants.

Our Technology
Our technology builds upon the unique advantages of the domesticated silkworm. The silkworm is an efficient commercial and industrial producer of protein-based polymers, and forty percent (40%) of the caterpillars’ weight is devoted to the silk glands. The silk glands produce large amounts of an insoluble protein called fibroin, which the silkworm spins into a composite protein thread (silk).
We use our genetic engineering technology to create proprietary recombinant silk polymers. This work began in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame. In October of 2017, with the support of funding from the U.S. Army, we transitioned our research operations out of Notre Dame and into our own research and development headquarters.
Our transgenic silkworms are created by inserting the genes expressing spider silk with either natural or engineered amino acid sequences into the embryos of the silkworm. The spider silk sequence is introduced to the embryo of the silkworm and incorporated into the silkworm genome using state of the art molecular biology approaches. The spider sequence is created on a circular loop of DNA called a plasmid.
Production of this material in commercial quantities holds the potential of a life-saving ballistic resistant material, which is lighter, more flexible, and tougher than steel. However, the Company does not currently have any life-saving ballistic products and could be some time before we are able to produce such a product. Other potential applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets. Our interactions with manufacturers of high-performance textiles, convince us that there is an eager commercial market for our innovative, sustainable, and differentiated technology and products.
Manufacturing
Our spider silk technology is designed for plug and play incorporation into the existing silk production model. We manufacture and plan to continue to manufacture our proprietary spider silk fibers using traditional silkworm production practices (sericulture).
The Company, originally through our subsidiary Prodigy Textiles and currently through our subsidiary Prodigy Silk, is engaged in the production of our specialized silkworms to produce recombinant spider silk cocoons. These cocoons are then reeled to our specifications to form the final spider silk threads.
By utilizing existing production methodology in traditional silk regions to produce our high-performance materials, we leverage historical knowledge, available labor, and existing capital infrastructure for production, spinning, and weaving of our spider silk materials. This approach reduces the risk to our manufacturing operations and decreases our need for upfront capital expenditure.
We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of spider silk fiber per annum from our operations when fully developed. This capacity will allow us to address our anticipated initial demand for applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.

The Market
We are focusing our work on the creation of new fibers with unique properties including fibers with potential high performance and technical fiber applications for the performance fiber market. The performance fiber market is currently dominated by two classes of product: aramid fibers, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. These existing products serve the need for materials with high strength, resilience, but are unable to delivery flexibility. Because these synthetic performance fibers are stronger and tougher than steel, they are used in a wide variety of military, industrial, and consumer applications.
The military and police are among the users of performance fibers for its ballistic protection. The materials are also used for industrial applications requiring superior strength and toughness, e.g., critical cables and abrasion/impact resistant components. Performance fibers are also employed in safety equipment, high strength composite materials for the aero-space industry and for ballistic protection by the defense industry.
The global market for technical textiles was estimated at greater than $200 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $272 billion by 20301.
These are industrial materials which have become essential products for both industrial and consumer applications. The market for technical textiles can be defined as consisting of:
| ● | Medical textiles; |
| ● | Geotextiles; |
| ● | Textiles used in Defense and Military; |
| ● | Safe and Protective Clothing; |
| ● | Filtration Textiles; |
| ● | Textiles used in Transportation; |
| ● | Textiles used in Buildings; |
| ● | Composites with Textile Structure; and, |
| ● | Functional and Sportive Textiles. |
We believe that the superior mechanical characteristics of the next generation of protein-based polymers (in other words, genetically engineered silk fibers), will open up new applications for the technology. The materials which we are working to produce are tougher and stronger than steel.
We are actively pursuing relationships within target end markets to secure product collaborations with key market channel leaders. Due to the unique nature of our product, we received numerous unsolicited requests from leading businesses across a range of attractive end markets requesting materials for applications development. This substantial interest in spider silk materials across the broad spectrum of applications for high performance fibers and textiles, combined with the limited initial production capacity, has, we believe, provided the opportunity to be selective in choosing market channel partners best able to bring our product to market at scale. We are working under non-disclosure agreements to secure these collaborative development agreements and to establish limited channel exclusivity for firms we believe mirror our culture of innovation.

Research and Development
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we have spent approximately 13,769 and 22,206 hours, respectively, on research and development activities, which consisted primarily of laboratory research on genetic engineering by our in-house research operations. R&D was streamlined and refocused in 2025 resulting in a significant increase in throughput and efficacy.
We have initiated production of our recombinant materials. Additionally, we are accelerating both our microbiology and selective breeding programs.
Our R&D is focused on creating new materials through molecular biology and genetic engineering. One of the main focuses of our work is utilizing the domestic silkworm to create brand-new fibers and materials. We are advancing this work very quickly, creating many new transgenics in the fourth quarter of 2025 and accelerating that work into 2026. We believe these new transgenics could have potentially significant impacts on the apparel and technical textiles markets.
A key aspect of our research program is designed to increase the robustness of our silkworms within the production environment. Working with our contractors we have identified robustness and acclimation of our silkworm lines to the local climate as one of our most significant challenges. In 2025 we made substantial progress in improving robustness. We are accelerating our hybridization and breeding program to further increase production robustness and cocoon size.
Our Intellectual Property Approach
Our intellectual property strategy utilizes a blended approach of licensed technologies and in-house developments. As part of our intellectual property portfolio, we have licensed the exclusive right to use certain patented gene-splicing technologies for use in silkworm.
Under our collaboration agreement with the University of Notre Dame, we exercised our right to exclusive commercial use for spider silk technologies developed under that agreement. We are applying this proprietary genetic engineering technology to domesticated silkworms, which we believe is the best path to economical, commercial scale production of spider silk.
To expand on this work, in 2017, we opened a research and development facility. Since opening this new facility, we have expanded our intellectual property portfolio with multiple additional provisional and utility patent filings based on new discoveries and inventions. We will continue to utilize our in-house research capabilities to expand and strengthen its patent portfolio while also maintaining and growing our trade secrets relating to genetic advancement and spider silk. We are actively working to develop new approaches to the development of genetically engineering silkworms, underlying construction techniques, and fundamental genetic sequences for improved material performance.
License Agreements/Intellectual Property
We have obtained certain rights to use a number of university created, and patented gene splicing and spider silk protein technologies.
As part of the joint development program with the University of Notre Dame and the Notre Dame Agreements, Kraig Labs negotiated an option for exclusive global commercial rights to technologies jointly developed with Notre Dame. Kraig Labs has exercised that option. As of the date of this filing, nine patents relating to the jointly developed technologies have been issued, including, Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, Canada, France, and Germany. These jurisdictions are a mix of silk producing and consuming countries. We believe protecting our technologies in these countries will be beneficial to our future operations.
In addition to the patents related to licensed technologies from Notre Dame listed above, Kraig Labs has filed a number of patent applications and provisional applications based on technologies developed solely within the Company’s own laboratories. Kraig has filed two such patent applications and four provisional patent applications based on technologies developed and discoveries from our own independent research operations.

In 2021, through its Singapore based joint venture the following four trademarks were issued.
Governmental Regulations
We are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local laws and regulations, as well as Vietnam central, provincial, and district laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, labor relations, the labeling and safety of our products, the environment, distribution of products, the production of products, and our molecular biology-based technologies. We believe that we are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations, although no assurance can be provided that this will remain true in the future or that interpretation of laws and regulations will remain a constant. Laws and particularly their interpretations and enforcement can and do change. Social and political trends shift in ways that we cannot predict, and which could become less favorable to our technolog With regards to areas where law is vague, lacking, or could be subject to interpretation we endeavor to conform to industry norms.
Environment
Kraig Labs is fully committed to its vision of bringing spider silk technologies to commercial markets while maintaining the highest levels of environmental responsibility. We believe our technology, built on a renewable resource, has a positive environmental impact, and offers significant benefits over competing synthetic textiles. Our production system is derived from nature and does not use any petrochemicals as an input into our fibers.
We seek to comply with and exceed all applicable statutory and administrative requirements concerning environmental quality. Expenditures for compliance with federal state and local environmental laws have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position.
While being environmentally conscious is the objective of all producers in this industry, the fermentation process used by our competitors produces high levels of carbon dioxide. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and is argued to be a leading cause of global warming. In stark contrast, Kraig Labs’ mulberry trees and the silk from silkworms have proven to be effective at sequestering carbon dioxide and are renewable resources. Mulberry trees also provide essential global green-cover and significantly help in reducing soil erosion in areas.
Competition
We compete directly with numerous other companies with similar product lines and/or distribution that have extensive capital, resources, market share, and brand recognition.
There are presently three primary competitors that we face in the fledgling spider silk industry, but there are few barriers to entry in our industry. This creates the strong possibility of new competitors emerging, and of others succeeding in developing the same or similar fibers for application that we are trying to develop. The effects of this increased competition may be materially adverse to us and our stockholders. As this is an emergent industry there is no one producer that has captured a significant portion of the market. Bolt Threads, Inc. based in California and Spiber Inc. based in Japan are competitors which have raised the largest amounts of investment capital to date. We also compete with AMSilk, which is based in Germany. We believe that our technology offers more cost-effective methods with lower environmental impact than technologies used by our identified competitors, however, new technologies could be developed that remove this advantage.
These competitors have raised and spent 100’s of millions of dollars in pursuit of spider silk production.

As the Company is a smaller reporting company, this item is not applicable.
ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Although
we implement systems and controls designed to prevent cybersecurity threats from occurring, and we have a process to identify
and mitigate threats, the development and maintenance of these systems, controls and processes is costly and requires ongoing monitoring
and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. Moreover, despite our
efforts, the possibility of these events occurring cannot be eliminated entirely. As we outsource more of our information systems to
vendors, engage in more electronic transactions with service providers, and rely more on cloud-based information systems, the related
security risks will increase, and we will need to expend additional resources to protect our technology and information systems. In addition,
there can be no assurance that our internal information technology systems or those of our

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties contained in this report and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
The following section reflects management’s views on the financial condition as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. This section is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, is a corporation organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications including technical textiles. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we are a world leader in the research, development, and production of commercially scalable and cost-effective spider silk fiber. Our primary proprietary fiber technology utilizes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry. We are introducing materials with innovative properties into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning, weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products.
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency, and flexibility for use in our target markets, including the specialty fiber and technical textile industries. We believe that the genetically engineered protein-based fibers we seek to produce have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. Production of our product in commercial quantities holds what we believe to be potential life-saving ballistic resistant material, which we believe is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. Other potential applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.
Through our technologies, the introduction of the gene sequence based on those found in native spider silk, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating. Our recombinant spider silk fibers incorporate the silk proteins found in spider silk with native silkworm silk proteins. This combination of native silkworm proteins combined with spider silk protein structures results in new and unique recombinant silk fibers. This technology is in essence a protein expression platform which has other potential applications including diagnostics and pharmaceutical production. Moreover, our technologies are “green” inasmuch as our fibers and textiles are derived from nature and do not use any petrochemicals as an input into the fibers.

The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2024, and as of December 31, 2025, include an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2025, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
| ● | We plan to accelerate and expand commercial scale production of our recombinant spider silk. |
| ● | We plan to expand our research and development to accelerate our work in creating next generation materials and to improve the robustness of our recombinant spider silk lines. |
| ● | We plan to create a line of recombinant spider silk fashion wear either under our own brand name or in partnership with existing commercial entities. |
| ● | We plan to continue the expansion of our overseas production operations, including working with local contractors or cooperatives and the hiring of additional direct staff, as needed. |
| ● | We plan to accelerate our microbiology research and development to create more advanced materials. We plan to develop more advanced spider silk and non-spider silk-based fibers for select target markets. |
| ● | We will consider buying an established revenue producing company in a compatible business, in order to broaden our financial base and facilitate the commercialization of our products; as of the date hereof, we have not had any formal discussion or entered into any definitive agreements regarding any such purchase. |
| ● | We plan to increase the breadth of our research to include protein expression platform technologies. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue collaborative research and product testing opportunities with companies in the biotechnology, materials, textile, and other industries. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue additional collaborative commercialization, marketing, and manufacturing opportunities with companies in the textile and material sectors for the fibers we developed and for any new polymers that we create in 2026 and going forward. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue an uplist to a national exchange if such an opportunity presents itself. |
Limited Operating History
We have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our research and development efforts. We cannot guarantee that the research and development efforts described in this filing will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources, risks inherent in the research and development process, risks inherent in working with living organisms, political and legal risks associated with transgenics, and possible rejection of our products in development.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our research and development and other operations. Equity financing will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On January 21, 2025, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the SEPA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.14.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $10 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Sales of the shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by the Investor, in certain circumstances as described below.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to the Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.
In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any common stock under the SEPA which, when aggregated with all other common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of a number of shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of common shares. In addition, in no event shall an Advance exceed the number of common shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the registration statement then in effect.
The Company shall pay the Investor a structuring fee in an amount of $25,000, of which $10,000 has been paid, and $15,000 shall be paid on the earlier of (a) the Closing of the first Advance, or (b) the termination of the SEPA. The Company paid the remaining balance of $15,000 structuring fee on January 21, 2025. Additionally, within three days of signing the SEPA (the “Effective Date”), the Company shall pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Fee”) consisting of such number of Common Shares that is equal to the Commitment Fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the Common Shares during the 3 Trading Days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Shares issuable hereunder shall be included on the initial Registration Statement.
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to the Commitment Amount. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer their respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions, and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds received by the Company under the SEPA will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to the Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to the Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Net Revenues: During the year ended December 31, 2025, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. Accordingly, there was no change in revenues between the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Research and development expenses: During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $165,758 of research and development expenses, an increase of $164,374 or 0.84% compared with the same period in 2024. The increase was due to the timing of research related activity and costs by insources the Company’s research operations.
Professional Fees: During year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $379,218 professional expenses, which increased by $88,905 or 30.62% from $290,313 for year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in professional fees expense was attributable to increased expenses related to investor relations and legal services during year ended December 31, 2025.
Officers Salary: During year ended December 31, 2025, officers’ salary expenses decreased to $871,049 or 0.14% compared to $872,289 for year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is due an increase in officer’s to contractual terms of employment with a slight offset in COO and Directors salary. In order to conserve Company resources, the CEO agreed to accrue and not collect a majority of his salary for 2025.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses increased by $211,183 or 12.08% to $1,958,768 for year ended December 31, 2025, from $1,747,585 for year ended December 31, 2024. Our general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2025, consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as Auto, Business Development, SEC Filing, Investor Relations, General Office, warrant Compensation) of $1,436,418, Travel of $55,339, office salary of $422,033, and consulting of $44,978 for a total of $1,958,768. Our general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as Auto, Business Development, SEC Filing, Investor Relations, General Office, warrant Compensation) of $1,052,808, Travel of $65,631, office salary of $467,931, and consulting of $161,215 for a total of $1,747,585.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased to $570,709, or 7.76% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $529,603 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to interest on the related party loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses to the related parties.
Net Change in Unrealized Depreciation on Investment in Gold Bullion: Net change in unrealized appreciation on investment in gold bullion decreased by $23,631 to $110,198 for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $133,829 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in gold bullion.
Net Loss: Net loss increased by $224,414, or 6.60%, to a net loss of $3,623,353 for the year ended December 31, 2025, from a net loss of $3,398,939 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase in net loss was driven primarily by an increase in warrant compensation, professional fees, research and development and slightly offset by a decrease in officer’s salary expense.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we have a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $3,623,353 during the year ended December 31, 2025, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit is $56,709,072 at December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 2 for our discussion of stockholder deficit. We have been funding our operations through private loans and the sale of common stock in private placement transactions. Refer to Note 6 and Note 7 in the financial statements for our discussion of notes payable and shares issued, respectively. Our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of our company to continue as a going concern.
| 19 |
Management anticipates that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to develop and expand our business before significant positive operating cash flows can be achieved. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At December 31, 2025, we had $1,790,236 of cash and cash equivalents on hand. These funds are insufficient to complete our business plan and as a consequence, we will need to seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) executing material sales or research contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. As of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any formal agreements regarding the above.
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
Cash, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had purchase of fixed assets of $4,240.
Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $2,467,900 for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is represented by $2,602,900 proceeds from the sale of stock, $10,000 payment in debt offering costs and $125,000 in principal repayment of debt to a related party.
Our financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of $35,244 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is represented by $35,244 loan repayment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk, and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

ASU 2025-05 — Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The practical expedient allows an entity to assume that, when estimating expected credit losses, current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset. The accounting policy election permits nonpublic entities that elect the practical expedient to also consider collection activity occurring after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted.
Accordingly, the Company will adopt ASU 2025-05 for its fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026.
The Company has evaluated ASU 2025-05 and does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to require enhanced disclosures that include reportable segment expenses. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose significant segment expenses, segment profit or loss (after significant segment expenses), and allows reporting of additional measures of a segments profit or loss if used in assessing segment performance. Such disclosures apply to entities with a single reportable segment. These amendments were effective for the Company in 2024 and retrospectively to all prior periods using the significant segment expense categories identified. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. As the Company does not issue profit interest awards, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to require enhanced income tax disclosures to provide information to assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Going Concern
Due to the net loss, negative cash flows from operations for the year, and working capital deficiency, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern listed in note 2.
Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses, which are not able to be easily substantiated.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Organization
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
On March 5, 2018, the Company issued a board resolution authorizing investment in a Vietnamese subsidiary and appointing a representative for the subsidiary.
On April 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its investment registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
On May 1, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its enterprise registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
On January 24, 2024, the Company signed a memorandum of understanding with the Vietnam Sericulture Association (“VSA”) and the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research & Experiment Center (“LAREC”) to enhance sericulture in Vietnam through the expanded application of the Company’s spider silk silkworm technology.
On January 14, 2025, the Company was granted a new Investment Registration Certificate and an Enterprise Registration Certificate for its production operations in Vietnam. This registration formed a new subsidiary, Prodigy Silk Co., Ltd.
On January 12, 2026, the Company dissolved Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd, and transferred all of its production operations into Prodigy Silk Co., Ltd. Vietnamese Law required a new business name for the Company’s new Enterprise Registration Certificate issued in 2025.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of Prodigy Textiles, Co., Ltd. and Prodigy Silk Co., Ltd. (the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiaries) whose functional currencies are the Vietnamese Dong, are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates prior to consolidation. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are reflected as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at financial institutions, money market funds, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
As
of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 260, “Earnings per Share.” For December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC No. 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC No. 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2045.
The
net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was an increase of $
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life (The expected life for awards uses the simplified method for all “plain vanilla” options, as defined in ASC 718-10-S99, and the contractual term for all other employee and non-employee awards. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718 and, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASU 2018-07.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This guidance is to clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements.

The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted.

Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life.
In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We hold certain financial assets, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Level 1 instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory and account payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values are assumed to approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
| ● | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our carrying value of level 1 instruments approximate their fair value at December 31, 2025, and 2024. | |
| ● | Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider depleting assets, asset retirement obligations and net profit interest liability to be Level 3. We determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities utilizing various inputs, including NYMEX price quotations and contract terms. |
The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques in all periods presented. The following table presents the Company’s assets which were measured at fair value at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

Valuation of Gold Bullion
The investment in Bullion is classified as a level 1 asset, as the Company’s investment in Bullion is calculated using unadjusted quoted prices from primary market sources.
Gains and Losses on Gold Bullion
Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Company is based on that day’s London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Gold Price PM. “LBMA Gold Price PM” is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) following an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds starting at 3:00 p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter.
The Company holds gold bullion as part of its strategy to manage inflation risk and diversify its assets. Upon acquisition, the Company elected the Fair Value Option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Fair Value Option to account for its investment in gold bullion. This election is irrevocable and was made to better reflect the Company’s intent to manage the assets based on fair value fluctuations.
Accounting Policy and Election
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Company recognizes changes in fair value of the investment in Bullion as changes in unrealized gains or losses on investment in Bullion through the Statement of Operations.
In accordance with ASC 825-10, the Company has elected to measure its gold bullion at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The gold bullion qualifies for the fair value option as it is a non-financial asset that is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis.
| ● | The fair value option was elected at initial recognition of the gold bullion. | |
| ● | Changes in fair value are recognized in “Other (Income) Expense, Net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $110,198 and $133,829, respectively, in “Other (income) expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, reflecting changes in the fair value of gold bullion.
Storage and Custody
The Company holds its gold bullion in a segregated vault operated by an independent third-party custodian. The Company periodically verifies the existence and condition of the gold through physical inspections and independent third-party audits.

Money Market Funds
Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government-backed securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of the fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC No. 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC No. 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

March 12, 2023, the U.S. government took extraordinary steps to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon
Valley Bank, assuring all depositors at the failed institution that they could access all their money quickly, even as another major
bank was shut down. The Company had no exposure to a failed bank. The Company averts risks associated with such a crisis by holding minimum
cash balances required for uninterrupted operations, federal funds money market fund, and U.S. government-backed securities. As of December
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held $
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to amortization of original issue discount in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the debt.

Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Investments without a Readily Determinable Fair Value (Cost Method)
Investments in nonmarketable entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments,” are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that have the following characteristics: (i) they engage in business activities from which they may earn revenue and incur expense, (ii) their operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for resource allocation decisions and performance assessment, and (iii) their discrete financial information is available. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer, who manages and allocates resources to our operations on a consolidated basis. We operate as one segment, and our operations are focused on developing high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries. Segment information is further described in Note 10.

NOTE 4 - RIGHT TO USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITY
We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.
We have a lease agreement with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because our lease does not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
In general, leases, where we are the lessee, may include options to extend the lease term. These leases may include options to terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset. Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date.
Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred. Amortization of finance lease assets is recognized over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset.
Interest expense on finance lease liabilities is recognized over the lease term in interest expense.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2025, 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer (chief executive officer) and principal financial officer (chief financial officer), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). 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 generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.
| 24 |
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended based on the following material weaknesses:
| – | Lack of internal audit function. During 2025, the Company, upon review of the independent auditors, made some adjustments to its financial statements, including recording an impairment expense against prepaid inventory. Management believes that the foregoing is due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. Specifically, the reporting mechanism between the accounting department and the Board of Directors and the CEO was not effective, therefore resulting in the delay of recording and reporting. |
| – | No Segregation of Duties Ineffective controls over financial reporting: As of December 31, 2025, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to ensure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner. |
| – | Lack of a functioning audit committee: Due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, and no audit committee has been elected, the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures is inadequate. |
| – | Written Policies & Procedures: Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions. |
| – | Lack of controls over related party transactions: As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification, and authorization of related party transactions. |
We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported accurately, and as of the date of this report, we have hired a payroll service firm to manage all payroll functions including tax withholdings. We will take the following steps to address the above-referenced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| 1. | We will continue to educate our management personnel to increase its ability to comply with the disclosure requirements and financial reporting controls; and |
| 2. | We will increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future; and |
| 3. | As soon as we can raise sufficient capital or our operations generate sufficient cash flow, we will hire personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions. |
While the first two steps of our remediation process are ongoing, we do not expect to remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting until the time when we start to commercialize a recombinant fiber (and, therefore, may have sufficient cash flow for hiring personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions).
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Our executive officers and sole director as of the date of this report are as follows:
| NAME | AGE | POSITION | DATE APPOINTED | |||
| Kim Thompson | 64 | President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director | April 25, 2006 | |||
| Jonathan R. Rice | 46 | Chief Operating Officer | January 20, 2015 | |||
| Kenneth Le | 62 | President of Prodigy Silk | January 2025 |
The following summarizes the occupation and business experience during the past five years for our officers and sole director.
KIM THOMPSON
Mr. Kim Thompson was a founder of the California law firm of Ching & Thompson, which was established in 1997. His work focused primarily on commercial litigation. He has been a founder and partner in the Illinois law firm of McJessy, Ching & Thompson, where he also emphasizes commercial and civil rights litigation. In his civil rights practice, Mr. Thompson was, and remains a staunch defender of constitutional rights with a focus on freedom of speech, Fourth Amendment protections, and combating racial discrimination. Prior to founding Kraig Labs, Mr. Thompson joined the firm of Shearson, Lehman, Hutton where he specialized in equity trading and research of small-cap companies. His experience in those small-cap equity markets has proven to be invaluable both in his legal and business successes. Mr. Thompson received his bachelor’s degree in applied economics from James Madison College, Michigan State University, and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Michigan. Mr. Thompson is a member of the Triple Nine Society for persons with documented genius level IQs (having tested above the 99.9th percentile). He is the named inventor or co-inventor on a number of issued patents, pending patent applications, and provisional patent applications, including inventions relating to biotechnology and mechanics. Mr. Thompson is the inventor of the technology concept that led to the formation of the Company. For his efforts in disrupting the textile markets, Mr. Thompson was recognized as one of the top 20 Pioneering CEO’s of 2019. We believe that Mr. Thompson is well suited to serve as our director because of his knowledge of biotechnology, legal expertise, and business background.
| 26 |
JONANTHAN R. RICE
Jonathan R. Rice had worked at Ultra Electronics, Adaptive Materials Inc., a Michigan company (“UEA”) since 2002. At UEA, he worked as the Director of Advanced Technologies, where he was responsible for new products development and commercialization. He was also the Corporate Facility Security Officer for UEA since 2006, where Mr. Rice ensured UEA’s compliance with federal regulations under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual and completed its annual security audit. During 2004 through 2007 while working as an Engineering Manager at UEA, Mr. Rice, among other things, led the design and development of multiple fuel cell and power management systems, established a team to identify and eliminate production and performance limitation, authored technical progress and final reports for customers and provided training to military personnel on use of fuel cell systems. From 2002 through 2005, Mr. Rice had also served as UEA’s Production Manager in charge of developing manufacturing process and techniques and sourcing the production equipment for UEA’s products. Mr. Rice graduated from Michigan Technological University in 2002 with a degree of Bachelors of Science Chemical Engineering. Mr. Rice received his Masters of Business Administration at Michigan State University in 2016.
KENNETH LE
Mr. Le served as our Director of government relations and the President of Prodigy Textiles from July 2019 through January 2026. In light of his position with our subsidiary and the duties associated with such position, we believe Mr. Le meets the definition of “executive officer” as such term is defined in the Exchange Act. In January of 2025 Mr. Le was appointed the role of President of Prodigy Silk. Kenneth Le has over 25 years of successful international business experience specializing in entrepreneurial enterprises. As previous managing partner of Pacific Bay Ventures, Mr. Le worked on a joint venture developing 1,550 hectares as a mixed use residential industrial park in conjunction with Dat Quang Chu Lai Industrial Park, JSP in Tam An city in Chu Lai province, Vietnam’s first international open economic trade zone. He was Managing Director of Minh Nhat Company, which was developing Da Deh Lake, an eco-resort of over 500 hectares in a surrounded lake in the Lam Dong province, the third and the largest plateau province on the Central Highlands three hours outside of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Mr. Le has extensive high-level business contacts in Southeast Asia, many of which he has helped bring together acting as international liaison. Management believes that Mr. Le’s work has been instrumental in helping the Company establish and grow its operations in Southeast Asia.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. Mr. Thompson is employed as the CEO and CFO of the company pursuant to a five-year employment contract.
Our sole director was appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of the following events occurred during the past ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our executive officers, directors, or promoters:
(1) A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;
(2) Convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

(i) Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;
(ii) Engaging in any type of business practice; or
| 27 |
(iii) Engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State securities laws or Federal commodities laws;
(4) Subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described by such activity;
(5) Found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
(6) Found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
(7) Subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:
(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or

(8) Subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S. C 78c(a)(26)), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Committees
Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our sole Board member. Because we have only one director and do not have any independent directors, the establishment of committees of the Board of Directors would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance. In addition, we do not have an “audit committee financial expert,” because our sole director does not qualify as such within the applicable definition of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
During its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Board of Directors did not meet on any occasion, but rather transacted business by unanimous written consent.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This Code of Ethics was previously filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-KSB on March 26, 2008, and has been included in this annual report as Exhibit 14.1.
Corporate Governance
The business and affairs of the Company are managed under our sole board member. In addition to the contact information in this annual report, each stockholder will be given specific information on how he/she can direct communications to the officers and directors of the Company at our annual stockholders’ meetings. All communications from stockholders are relayed to the board of member.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships by between or among the members of the Board or other executive officers of the Company.

Director Independence
National stock exchange listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have identified persons who meet these requirements and are qualified to serve on our board; we anticipate appointing such persons to our Board at such time as is required to meet the applicable listing standards.

Tax Fees
For the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we were billed approximately $4,600 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. For the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we were billed $4,600 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
All Other Fees
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and 2025.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
| ● | approved by our audit committee; or |
| ● | entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management. |
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentages of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
