ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of some important factors that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
Risks Related to the Trading Halt
As of October 1, 2025, in accordance with Nasdaq’s oral notice, our securities have been suspended from trading on Nasdaq. As of the date of this annual report, our securities have not resumed trading on Nasdaq, which may have a material adverse impact on the value or liquidity of investors holding our securities.
As disclosed in our Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 6, 2025, following Nasdaq’s listing on October 1, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had received notification from China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) officials stating that Nasdaq’s CSRC review process for the Company’s U.S. listing had not been completed. Consequently, Nasdaq suspended trading of the Company’s common stock and warrants while requiring clarification on these matters (the “Trading Halt”). The Company asserts that it has fulfilled its obligations to the CSRC and has obtained legal opinions from its Chinese securities legal counsel regarding this matter. Additional documentation has been submitted to Nasdaq. However, as of the date of this annual report, the Trading Halt remains in effect.
If the Trading Halt persists, or if our securities are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq, our investors may face significant adverse consequences due to their holdings, including:
| ● | Limited market quotes for our securities; |
| ● | Designating our common shares as “underweight stocks” will require brokers dealing in our shares to comply with stricter regulations and may result in reduced trading activity in our secondary securities market. |
| ● | No longer considered as “valuable securities”, as detailed below; |
| ● | Limited news and analytical coverage; and |
| ● | Reduced capacity to issue additional securities or secure additional financing in the future. |
The National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996, a federal statute, prohibits or takes precedence over state regulations regarding the sale of certain securities (referred to as “regulated securities”). While states are prioritarily deprived of regulatory authority over securities sales, this federal law does allow states to investigate companies when fraud is suspected. If fraudulent activities are identified, states may impose oversight or prohibit the sale of regulated securities under specific circumstances. Although no state has utilized these powers to restrict securities issued by blank check companies (with the exception of Idaho), securities regulators in some states maintain negative views toward such entities and may employ or threaten to employ these authorities to hinder the sale of blank check company securities within their jurisdictions. Furthermore, if we delist from NASDAQ, our securities will cease to be regulated securities and will fall under the jurisdiction of the states where we offer them.
10
Should Nasdaq ultimately decide to delist our securities, we may face shareholder lawsuits, which would have a significant adverse impact on our operations.
Should Nasdaq ultimately decide to delist our securities, this action is likely to negatively impact their price performance and impair shareholders’ ability to trade them. In the event of delisting, we cannot guarantee that any measures taken to meet listing requirements will result in securities relisting, stabilize market prices, enhance liquidity, or prevent future violations of Nasdaq’s listing standards.
Furthermore, if our securities are not listed on NASDAQ or delisted from NASDAQ for any reason and are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board—an automated quotation system for stock trading between non-national stock exchanges—our securities may face greater liquidity and pricing constraints compared to listings on NASDAQ or other national stock exchanges. Should our securities experience liquidity shortages, shareholders may struggle to trade their holdings unless market conditions can be restored. Conversely, if investors are unable to trade our securities, this could severely impact our capacity to raise additional capital.
If any of our shareholders initiate legal proceedings against us, we may incur substantial costs in litigation defense. Such lawsuits may also divert the time and attention of our management, preventing them from focusing on our business operations, thereby severely impairing our business performance, profitability, and reputation.
According to China law, the business merger with IRON HORSE that we completed on September 30, 2025 requires filing with the China Securities Regulatory Commission. As of now, we cannot predict when we will complete such filings.
The Regulations on Foreign Investors’ Acquisition of Domestic Companies, commonly referred to as the M&A Rules, were promulgated in 2006 by six different China regulatory authorities and revised in 2009. On the surface, they require offshore special purpose vehicles controlled by China companies or individuals to obtain approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) before listing their securities on overseas stock exchanges through acquisitions of domestic companies or assets in China. The interpretation and application of these provisions remain unclear, and our offshore issuance may ultimately require approval from the CSRC. If such approval is required, we face uncertainties regarding our ability to obtain it and the potential timeframes involved. Furthermore, even if approved by the CSRC, such approval may be revoked. Any failure to obtain or delay obtaining CSRC approval for our listing, or any revocation of such approval, may subject us to sanctions from the CSRC or other China regulatory authorities. These sanctions may include fines and penalties affecting our operations in China, restrictions or constraints on our ability to distribute dividends overseas, and other forms of sanctions that could have significant adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, and operating performance.
In addition, the Chinese government has recently attempted to impose greater supervision and control over overseas issuances or foreign investments by China issuers. Among other measures, the Guidelines (definitions provided below) emphasize the need to strengthen cross-border regulatory cooperation, as well as the management and supervision of China issuers, and to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework to apply China capital market laws and regulations overseas. On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) promulgated the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Overseas Securities Issuance and Listing by Domestic Companies,” also known as the “Overseas Listing Filing Rules,” which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Overseas Listing Filing Rules, China domestic companies issuing or listing stocks, depositary receipts, convertible corporate bonds, or other equity securities in overseas stock markets, whether directly or indirectly through offshore holding companies, must file with the CSRC. If a China domestic company intends to complete an overseas (i) initial public offering and listing or (ii) listing under the name of an overseas enterprise through one or more acquisitions, stock swaps, stock transfers, or other means, based on the equity, assets, income, or other similar rights of the relevant China domestic company, the issuer (if the issuer is a China domestic company) or its designated major China domestic operating entity (if the issuer is an offshore holding company) must report to the entity within three working days after the issuer submits application documents related to the initial public offering and/or listing, or after the first announcement of the relevant transaction (if no application documents are required). The determination of whether any issuance or listing is “indirect” will be based on the principle of “substance over form.” If the issuer meets the following two conditions, the issuer’s issuance or listing will be considered an overseas indirect issuance or listing of a China domestic company: (i) The revenue, profit, total assets, or net assets of the China domestic company in the most recent fiscal year account for more than 50% of the relevant line items in the issuer’s audited consolidated and consolidated financial statements for that year; and (ii) The majority of senior executives responsible for its business operations and management are Chinese citizens or have a general residence in China, or if its principal place of business is in China, or if its business operations are primarily conducted in China. In addition, according to the “Overseas Listing Filing Rules” and a set of Q&As published on the official website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) related to the release of the “Overseas Listing Application Rules,” if any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the relevant industries and sectors explicitly requires (in the form of institutional rules) that a China domestic company must fulfill regulatory procedures before listing overseas, the company must obtain regulatory opinions, approvals, and other documents from the competent authority prior to submitting filings to the CSRC, and complete any required filings. After obtaining filing with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and before the completion of this issuance and/or listing, if any of the following material events occurs, the reporting entity shall promptly report to the CSRC within three working days and update the CSRC filing: (i) significant changes in the issuer’s main business, licenses, or qualifications; (ii) changes in the issuer’s control or any major changes in the issuer’s equity structure; and (iii) any major changes to the issuance and listing plan. Once listed overseas, the reporting entity shall also be required to report to the CSRC within three working days after any of the following material events occur and are announced to the CSRC: (i) changes in the issuer’s control; (ii) investigations, sanctions, or other measures taken by foreign securities regulatory authorities or relevant competent authorities against the issuer; (iii) changes in listing status or transfer of the Listing Committee; and (iv) voluntary or compulsory delisting of the issuer. In addition, if the issuer completes any overseas follow-on issuance in the same overseas market where the public offering and listing were completed, it must file with the CSRC within three working days. Failure to comply with applicable filing requirements may result in fines imposed on the relevant China domestic company, its controlling shareholders, and other responsible persons.
11
In accordance with the “Overseas Listing Filing Rules”, the “Notice on Domestic Companies’ Overseas Fundraising Listing Filing Management” issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) on February 17, 2023, the “Notice on Overseas Listing Filing”, and a series of Q&A published on the CSRC’s official website, we were required to complete filing procedures related to this corporate merger with the CSRC before listing our securities on NASDAQ, in compliance with the “Overseas Listing Application Rules”. We submitted the necessary documents pertaining to the merger to the CSRC on December 21, 2024. On March 19, 2025, the CSRC requested supplementary materials, which we subsequently provided on April 2, 2025. Although this step was mandatory, uncertainties remain regarding the timely completion of the application process and its impact on our NASDAQ listing. Failure to comply with filing requirements or subsequent revocation of approvals could significantly adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, and operational activities. As of the date of this annual report disclosure, we have not yet received the filing notification from the CSRC.
Our limited operational history introduces uncertainty regarding our capacity expansion, ability to meet customer demands, and potential for sustainable growth.
The Group currently operates under a relatively new business structure that includes several subsidiaries established in recent years, although some operational entities have longer histories. However, our existing structure and integration strategy were formally established during the restructuring completed in early 2024, alongside CFI’s business merger with Iron Horse finalized on September 30,2025. These factors may result in insufficient historical data or references for assessing our ability to meet market demands, expand production capacity, and achieve profitability. Given our limited operational history, we face challenges in forecasting future revenues, accurately budgeting expenditures, and identifying emerging trends that could impact business operations.
Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC
Failure to comply with the Chinese government’s complex regulatory requirements and significant oversight on our business operations may result in substantial adverse impacts on our operations and securities value.
Our facilities are located within the territory of the People’s Republic of China, which requires us to comply with various government and regulatory requirements applicable to our operational locations, including those implemented by various local and municipal authorities and government branches. The Chinese government holds considerable power to influence and intervene in the operations of offshore holding companies, such as CFI. Therefore, our business, financial condition, operational results, and future prospects may be significantly affected by the overall political, economic, and social conditions in China. China’s economic structure differs from that of most developed countries in multiple aspects, including the level of government involvement, development stage, growth rate, foreign exchange controls, and resource allocation. Although the Chinese government has taken measures aimed at promoting market-driven economic reforms, divesting state ownership of productive assets, and improving corporate governance, a significant portion of productive assets in China remains under government ownership. Additionally, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in shaping industrial development through the implementation of industrial policies. It also maintains substantial control over the Chinese economy by allocating resources, regulating foreign currency debt payments, formulating monetary policies, and providing preferential treatment to specific industries or enterprises. Furthermore, certain regulations (i) on the measures we operate and (ii) on overseas offerings by Chinese issuers and foreign investments may severely restrict or completely hinder our ability to issue or continue issuing securities to investors, leading to significant depreciation or complete loss of value of such securities.
12
In addition, the Chinese government has considerable control over numerous sectors of the China economy through regulation and state ownership. Our operational capabilities in China are susceptible to significant disruptions from legislative and regulatory changes, including issues related to securities regulation, data protection, cybersecurity, taxation, foreign investment restrictions, and mergers and acquisitions.
The central and local governments of the People’s Republic of China may implement new and stricter regulations or reinterpret existing ones, which will require us to incur additional expenses and efforts to ensure compliance with these directives or interpretations. As a result, we may face substantial government and regulatory requirements in the China provinces where we operate, and may be subject to supervision by various political and regulatory entities, including numerous local and municipal institutions and government branches. We may incur higher costs for complying with existing and newly enacted laws and regulations, or face penalties for non-compliance. If the Chinese government attempts to strengthen oversight and control over overseas issuances and/or foreign investments targeting issuers within China, such actions may severely restrict or completely hinder our ability to issue or continue issuing securities to investors, leading to significant depreciation or total loss of such securities’ value.
China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past few decades; however, this growth has been uneven across different geographical regions and various economic sectors. The Chinese government has implemented a series of measures aimed at promoting economic growth and strategic resource allocation. While some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, they could also have negative impacts on our operations. A slowdown in China’s economy may lead to reduced demand for our products, thereby having a significant and adverse impact on our business and operational results.
The uncertainty regarding the legal system partly stems from both published and unpublished government policies, as well as the potential rapid changes in Chinese mainland laws and regulations, which may adversely affect us.
We primarily conduct business through China mainland subsidiaries. Our operations in mainland China are governed by local laws and regulations. Our mainland subsidiaries are subject to the laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in mainland China. The legal system in mainland China is based on a civil law system with a codified legal framework. Unlike the common law system, under the civil law system, previous court judgments can be cited as references, but their case law value is limited.
Over the past few decades, laws and regulations in mainland China have significantly strengthened the protection of various forms of foreign investment in the mainland. However, due to the relatively recent enactment of certain laws and regulations, as well as the limited number of published judicial rulings that lack binding force, there remains uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of these legal provisions.
In addition, the legal system of the Chinese mainland is to some extent based on government policies, some of which are not disclosed or are not disclosed in a timely manner, and may change rapidly without prior notice. Therefore, we may not be aware of our own potential policy and rule violations.
The Chinese government imposes complex regulatory requirements on our business operations and has recently enacted multiple regulations to strengthen oversight of overseas issuance activities and foreign investments in domestic issuers. These measures, along with potential future tightening controls, could severely restrict or even completely hinder our ability to issue securities to investors or continue issuing new securities, potentially causing significant value depreciation or rendering such securities worthless.
13
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may impose additional disclosure requirements and strengthen regulatory scrutiny for companies with significant business operations in China, which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or suspend or terminate our future securities offerings, thereby making financing more difficult.
On July 30, 2021, in response to recent regulatory developments in China and measures taken by the Chinese government, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a statement requiring SEC staff to seek additional disclosures from overseas issuers related to companies operating within China before the registration statements of overseas issuers take effect. Therefore, the issuance of our securities may need to comply with additional disclosure requirements and reviews imposed by the SEC or other U.S. regulatory authorities on companies conducting business within China, which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or result in the suspension or termination of our future securities offerings, thereby making financing more difficult.
The Chinese government has recently issued new policies affecting specific industries, and there is no guarantee that regulations or policies that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating performance will not be introduced in the future. In addition, if China adopts stricter standards in specific areas such as corporate social responsibility or environmental protection, we may incur higher compliance costs or face additional restrictions in operations.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject to extensive regulations in China, which affect our operations and may lead to significant changes in our operations and common stock value.
The environment in which we operate is subject to high regulation. Specifically, our operational activities are constrained by extensive regulations in China, including but not limited to those concerning healthy food, mandatory product certification, defective product recalls, and product liability and consumer protection laws. Multiple Chinese regulatory authorities oversee different aspects of our operations, including but not limited to:
| ● | Mandatory product certification; |
| ● | Product liability; |
| ● | Environmental protection system; and |
| ● | Safety production and occupational health requirements. |
We have an obligation to obtain various government approvals, licenses, permits, and registrations related to business operations, and to comply with mandatory standards and regulations pertaining to manufacturing processes and products. However, the interpretation of these regulations may change, and new regulations may be introduced, which could disrupt or restrict our operations, weaken our competitiveness, or result in high compliance costs. Additionally, the submission of certain documents to government agencies is mandatory. As we expand our sales and distribution networks and add retail stores in China, we cannot guarantee that these filings will be completed in a timely manner. If any of our existing or future branches fail to complete the necessary filings, they may be ordered to immediately rectify violations or face fines of up to 10,000 RMB. We cannot guarantee that we have met or will continue to meet all applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Chinese government imposes restrictions on foreign ownership.
Therefore, future government actions, including interventions or influences on any decisions we make at any point in time, or controls on overseas securities offerings and foreign investments by issuers within China, may force us to make significant operational adjustments, potentially limit or completely hinder our ability to issue or continue issuing securities to investors, and/or may result in a substantial decline in the value of such securities or render them worthless.
14
Our board of directors is typically responsible for monitoring risks arising from cybersecurity threats (if any). Since our initial public offering (IPO), we have not encountered any cybersecurity incidents.
The Group collects and stores certain business and operational data, including information about its distributors and suppliers. Although we do not collect consumer or retail customer data, we are still subject to the data protection and cybersecurity laws and regulations applicable in China and any other jurisdictions where we operate. These laws regulate the collection, storage, use, and security of data and impose significant compliance obligations.
Although we have implemented data security measures to protect sensitive business information and comply with applicable laws, our systems remain vulnerable to cyberattacks such as hacker intrusions, malware, or phishing attacks. These threats may lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or business disruptions. Cyberattacks targeting our contractors or third-party service providers could further increase the risk of data loss or misuse.
Data protection regulations in China and globally are becoming increasingly stringent and complex, with new requirements constantly being introduced, such as China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and Data Security Law. Failure to comply with these or other evolving data protection laws may result in substantial fines, penalties, operational restrictions, and reputational damage.
Compliance with these laws requires sustained investments in security infrastructure, training programs, and monitoring systems. Furthermore, future regulatory changes in data protection laws—such as stricter requirements for data retention, transmission, or storage—may incur additional costs or operational adjustments. Failure to comply could result in investigations, enforcement actions, or restrictions on our data collection and usage capabilities, potentially harming our business operations, financial health, and overall performance.
While we are committed to complying with applicable data protection laws, uncertainties in their interpretation and enforcement, along with potential cybersecurity risks, may adversely affect our operations and reputation. Any significant data breach or failure to comply with data protection regulations could have substantial negative impacts on our business.
As of the reporting date of this annual report, we have not received any notification from authorities identifying us as operators of critical information infrastructure, or requiring us to undergo cybersecurity reviews or network data security reviews by the Cyberspace Administration of China, or obtaining licenses from the Cyberspace Administration of China. Given that we are not (i) engaged in activities that affect or may affect national security; (ii) operators of critical information infrastructure procuring network products and services that may affect national security; or (iii) operators of network platforms holding personal information data of over one million users. However, there remains uncertainty regarding how the “Cybersecurity Review Measures” and the “Security Review Draft” will be interpreted or implemented, and whether China regulatory authorities (including the Cyberspace Administration of China) will issue new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation guidelines or interpretations related to the “Cybersecurity Review Measures” and the “Security Review Draft.” If any such new laws, regulations, rules, implementation guidelines, or interpretations come into effect, we expect to take all reasonable measures and actions to ensure compliance and minimize any adverse impacts caused by such laws.
Exchange rate fluctuations may result in foreign exchange conversion losses.
The exchange rate fluctuations of the RMB against the US dollar and other currencies are influenced by changes in Chinese government policies and largely depend on domestic and international economic and political conditions as well as supply and demand conditions in local markets. In July 2005, the Chinese government changed its decades-long policy of pegging the RMB to the US dollar, after which the RMB appreciated by more than 20% against the US dollar over the next three years. From July 2008 to June 2010, this appreciation trend ceased, and the RMB-to-US-dollar exchange rate remained within a narrow range. Since June 2010, the RMB-to-US-dollar exchange rate has experienced fluctuations, sometimes with significant and unpredictable volatility. With the development of foreign exchange markets and the advancement of interest rate liberalization and RMB internationalization, the Chinese government may announce further adjustments to the exchange rate regime in the future, and we cannot guarantee that the RMB will not appreciate or depreciate substantially against the US dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or China and the US government’s policies will affect the RMB-to-US-dollar exchange rate in the future.
Any depreciation of the Renminbi may adversely affect the value of our shares and dividends paid in foreign currencies. Additionally, we face challenges in identifying cost-effective tools to reduce foreign currency risk exposure. These factors could significantly impact our business operations, financial position, operational performance, and future prospects, while diminishing the foreign currency value of our shares and the dividends paid in foreign currencies.
15
Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Legal Litigation
We may face intellectual property infringement claims, which could entail substantial defense costs and potentially disrupt our business operations.
We cannot be certain that any aspect of our operations or business will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, patents, copyrights, proprietary technologies, or other intellectual property held by third parties in the past or in the future. In the future, we may from time to time face legal proceedings, claims, or penalties related to intellectual property rights held by others. Additionally, there may be third-party trademarks, patents, copyrights, proprietary technologies, or other intellectual property rights that we may have infringed without knowledge. The rights holders of such intellectual property may assert their rights against us in China, the United States, or other jurisdictions. If any third party files an infringement lawsuit, regardless of the validity of their claims, we may be forced to divert management time and other resources from our business and operations to address these lawsuits.
In addition, the application and interpretation of China’s intellectual property laws, as well as the procedures and standards for granting trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how, or other intellectual property rights in China, continue to evolve and remain uncertain. We cannot guarantee that Chinese courts or regulatory authorities will endorse our analysis. If we are found to have infringed upon others’ intellectual property rights, we may face legal liabilities and penalties for the infringement, be prohibited from using such intellectual property rights, and may also be required to pay licensing fees or develop our own alternatives. Consequently, our business and operational performance may suffer significant adverse impacts.
We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We believe our trademarks, domain names, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property rights are crucial to our success. We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements, including confidentiality and non-compete agreements with employees and other personnel, to protect our proprietary rights. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights may still be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or infringed upon, or they may not be sufficient to provide us with a competitive advantage. For example, we regularly file trademark registration applications in China, but these applications may be delayed or unsuccessful and may be challenged by third parties. Due to China’s “first-to-file” trademark registration system and the existence of similar registered trademarks in the same categories, we may not be able to successfully register trademarks in these categories and face the risk of being deemed to infringe on third-party trademark rights. Additionally, for trademarks we have not registered in China, we may not be able to prevent third parties from using our brand. Other parties are also using trademarks similar to ours. We consider our trademarks to be essential to our business. We are filing revocation applications against certain existing trademarks held by third parties on grounds of insufficient use. However, we cannot guarantee the success of these applications or the successful registration of our trademarks.
If any third party files a trademark infringement lawsuit against us for using any unregistered trademarks, we may face civil and administrative liabilities under China’s Trademark Law. We may also be ordered to cease any products accused of or found to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of third parties, or to redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement claims, and to compensate such third parties for losses up to RMB 5 million, as well as be ordered to eliminate any negative impacts. Additionally, we may face various administrative liabilities, including but not limited to: if the illegal gains exceed RMB 50,000, a fine of up to five times the illegal gains may be imposed; if the illegal gains are less than RMB 50,000, a fine of RMB 250,000 may be imposed. Any such liabilities may disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse impact on our reputation, financial condition, and operating performance. Even if we successfully defend against such claims, legal proceedings may still result in substantial costs and divert management attention.
Meanwhile, intellectual property protection in China remains an evolving legal field. We cannot predict the future developments in this legal domain, including the enactment of new laws, amendments to existing laws, or their interpretations. As a result, we may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could adversely affect our revenue and competitive position.
16
In China, the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights often face difficulties. The application of relevant laws and regulations depends on judicial interpretations and enforcement, but due to the lack of clear legal guidance, their application may not be consistent. Counterparties may violate confidentiality and non-compete agreements, and we may not have sufficient remedies to address such breaches. As a result, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or enforce our contractual rights in China. Preventing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is both difficult and costly, and the measures we take may not be sufficient to prevent intellectual property theft. If we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such lawsuits may incur substantial costs and divert our management and financial resources. We cannot guarantee success in such lawsuits. Additionally, our trade secrets may be disclosed, obtained by competitors in other ways, or independently discovered by competitors. If our employees or consultants use intellectual property owned by others while working for us, it may lead to disputes regarding related proprietary technology and invention rights. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights may have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
We may not be able to adequately acquire or maintain our proprietary and intellectual property rights in data or technology.
We cannot guarantee that our employees, consultants, or other relevant parties will comply with confidentiality, non-disclosure, or invention transfer agreements, nor can we ensure the validity of such agreements in controlling access to and distribution of our products/services, specific aspects thereof, or proprietary information. Additionally, we may face third-party challenges to our ownership of intellectual property rights or inventorship claims that we assert as our own. For instance, such challenges might invalidate agreements signed with employees or consultants requiring intellectual property transfers to us, or conflict with their prior contractual obligations to transfer inventions to other employers, former employers, or third parties. While we rely on employment-related work clauses to establish ownership of intellectual property created by employees, certain types of intellectual property may require separate documentation to legally transfer ownership rights to us.
As our patents may expire without extension options, our patent applications could be denied approval. Our patent rights may face challenges including challenges, circumvention, invalidation, or restricted scope, potentially compromising their effectiveness in protecting our interests. More critically, we might fail to prevent others from developing or utilizing competing technologies, which could significantly adversely impact our business operations, financial health, and operational performance.
As of the date of this annual report release, we have registered 13 patents, 85 trademarks, and 6 software program copyrights in the Chinese mainland. Even if our patent applications are approved and we obtain corresponding patents, there remains uncertainty regarding whether these patents may face opposition, circumvention, or invalidation in the future. Additionally, rights under granted patents may not provide us with substantial protection or competitive advantages. The legal measures offered by these protections are limited, and competitors or others may acquire or utilize our intellectual property and proprietary information. Claims under any patent may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from developing technologies similar to ours or achieving effects comparable to ours. Furthermore, others’ intellectual property may also prevent us from licensing or utilizing our patents. In the fields where we have developed and are developing products, there exists a significant number of patents owned by others and pending patent applications. These patents and patent applications may claim priority over our patent applications and may result in the invalidation of our patent applications. Finally, in addition to individuals who may claim priority, any of our existing patents or pending patent applications may be challenged by others if deemed invalid or unenforceable. Our success depends in part on our ability to acquire, maintain, expand, enforce, and defend the scope of our intellectual property. The patent application process is both costly and time-consuming. We may struggle to file, apply for, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patents at reasonable costs, within reasonable timelines, or across jurisdictions where commercial protection holds value. In some cases, we might even fail to secure any protection for our proprietary rights. Any failure to obtain or sustain patent protection and other intellectual property safeguards for our products could significantly harm our business operations, financial health, and overall performance.
17
In addition to patented technologies, we also rely on our non-patented know-how, trade secrets, processes, and specialized expertise.
We rely on proprietary information—including trade secrets, technical know-how, and confidential data—to protect intellectual property that may not qualify for patents or where non-disclosure is deemed more appropriate. To safeguard such information, we typically enter into confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, contractors, scientific advisors, and third parties, or incorporate non-disclosure clauses into consulting, service, or employment contracts. However, we cannot guarantee that all potential contacts with our trade secrets or proprietary information have signed such agreements. Even when agreements exist, they may be breached or fail to effectively prevent leaks, third-party infringement, or unauthorized use. Additionally, these agreements often have limited durations and may lack adequate remedies for unauthorized disclosures. Our protection capabilities for trade secrets used by third-party manufacturers and suppliers remain limited, and unauthorized leaks could result in loss of future protection. Furthermore, our proprietary information may be accessed by competitors or third parties conducting independent research. Disputes over ownership of technical know-how and inventions may arise when our employees, consultants, contractors, or third parties utilize third-party intellectual property while working for us. To enforce and define the scope of our proprietary rights, time-consuming and costly litigation may be required. Failure to obtain or maintain protection for our proprietary information could adversely affect our competitive business position. Furthermore, in certain markets where we operate, laws governing trade secret rights may provide minimal or no protection for our trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets are legally obtained or independently developed by competitors or third parties, we will have no legal means to prevent their use in competition. Any disclosure of trade secrets to competitors or third parties—whether lawful or not—along with their independent exploitation, could significantly impair our business operations, financial performance, and overall financial health.
We rely on physical and electronic security measures to protect our proprietary information, but we cannot guarantee that these safeguards provide adequate protection or that they will never be breached. There remains a risk that third parties may gain unauthorized access to our proprietary information, potentially leading to misuse or disclosure that could undermine our competitive advantage. We may fail to detect or prevent unauthorized access or use of our information by third parties, may not take appropriate and timely measures to mitigate damage, or may not be able to mitigate or remedy such damage.
Furthermore, third parties may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information. If any of our trade secrets are legally obtained or independently developed by competitors or third parties, we will have no legal right to prevent them from using such information to compete with us. Should any of our trade secrets be disclosed to competitors or third parties, or if they are independently developed by such entities, our competitive position would suffer significant adverse effects.
If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may fail to establish brand awareness in target markets, and our business operations could be adversely affected.
Our registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, diluted, circumvented, or deemed generic names, or may be determined to infringe, misappropriate, or violate other trademarks. We may not be able to protect the rights of these trademarks and trade names, which are crucial for establishing recognition among potential partners or customers in target markets. During trademark registration procedures, our applications may be rejected. Although we have the opportunity to respond to such rejections, we may not be able to overcome them. If our trademarks are successfully challenged, we may be forced to rebrand our products, which could lead to loss of brand recognition and may require us to invest resources in promoting and marketing the new brand. Additionally, third parties may oppose pending trademark applications and seek to revoke registered trademarks. Opposition or revocation proceedings may be initiated against our trademarks, and our trademarks may not be preserved in these proceedings. Furthermore, in many countries, owning and maintaining trademark registrations may not provide adequate defense against subsequent infringement claims by prior trademark owners. Some trademarks used in other parts of the world under the “CFI” brand have not been registered in China. If we inadvertently use these trademarks in China, we may face litigation or claims, which could result in substantial costs, negative publicity, and divert resources and management attention.
We may fail to acquire, protect, or enforce our rights to trademarks and trade names that are critical for establishing brand recognition among potential partners or customers in target markets. Competitors or third parties may sometimes adopt similar trade names or trademarks, which could hinder our ability to build brand identity and lead to market confusion. Additionally, owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks containing variants of our registered or unregistered trademarks and trade names may file potential claims for infringement, misappropriation, dilution, or other violations. Our efforts to obtain, enforce, or protect exclusive rights related to trademarks, trade names, domain names, or other intellectual property may prove futile, resulting in substantial costs, resource allocation inefficiencies, and adverse impacts on our business operations, financial health, operational performance, and future prospects.
Risks Associated with Our Securities
The sale of our securities by our holders may result in a significant decline in the market price of our securities, even if our business operations are performing well.
Under the Lock-up Agreement executed during the merger between CFI and Iron Horse, major shareholders of CFI and relevant securities holders will be subject to restrictions on selling any CFI common shares they receive or hold upon agreement, with these restrictions expiring six months after the agreement takes effect. Upon expiration of the lock-up period and upon either the effectiveness of CFI’s registration statements submitted under the Registration Rights Agreement or compliance with Rule 144 requirements, certain CFI shareholders may sell substantial quantities of CFI common shares through public markets or private negotiations. Such transactions could exacerbate stock price volatility or exert significant downward pressure on CFI’s common stock prices.

The trading prices of our common shares and warrants may experience significant fluctuations, which could be influenced by various factors beyond our control, including but not limited to:
| ● | Actual or expected fluctuations in our financial condition or operating performance; |
| ● | Differences between our financial performance and the expectations of securities analysts; |
| ● | Changes in our projected operating and financial performance; |
| ● | Changes in laws and regulations affecting our business, customers, suppliers, or our industry; |
| ● | We or our competitors announce the launch of new products and services; |
| ● | Our ability to continuously innovate and promptly bring products to market; |
| ● | We are involved in actual or potential litigation or regulatory investigations; |
| ● | Negative publicity about us, our products or our industry; |
| ● | Changes in senior management or key personnel; |
| ● | We or our competitors announce new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures; |
| ● | Our sale of securities by us, our shareholders, or warrant holders, and expectations regarding the lifting of lock-up periods; |
| ● | Overall economic, political, regulatory, industry and market conditions; |
| ● | Natural disasters or major catastrophic events; and |
| ● | Other events or factors, including those caused by war, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, pandemics or responses to these events. |
These and other factors may cause significant fluctuations in the market prices and demand for our common stock and warrants, which could limit or prevent investors from easily selling their shares and potentially negatively impact the liquidity of our common stock and warrants in other ways.
Warrants can be converted into common stock, which increases the number of shares available for resale in the open market and results in diluted shareholder equity.
Under the terms of the warrant agreements governing these securities, a total of 2,457,000 warrants may be exercised. The outstanding warrants represent approximately 4.7% of our currently outstanding common shares. The exercise price of the warrants is set at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. If exercised, such warrants will trigger additional common share issuance, resulting in diluted equity for existing shareholders and increased share availability for resale in the open market. Significant sell-offs of these warrants or the possibility of their exercise may adversely affect the market price of common shares. However, there is no guarantee that these warrants will remain in the money before maturity, and they may become worthless upon expiration.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of CFI’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the notes related thereto which are included elsewhere in this Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors”, and elsewhere in this Report.
In this section, “we”, “us”, “our” and “CN Healthy” refer to CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp., a holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Overview
On September 30, 2025, Iron Horse announced the completion of its business merger with Rosy Sea, a company based in the British Virgin Islands. Rosy Sea is the parent company of CFI. The merged new company will be renamed as CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp. and listed on the NASDAQ market on October 1, 2025 under the stock codes “UCFI” and “UCFIW”.
CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp. is a comprehensive enterprise integrating grain biotechnology and health product research and development, production, and sales, focusing on the deep processing of grain raw materials into green ecological products. Our corporate vision is to create a healthy world through AI technology and biotechnology. The product advocates a green, healthy, international, and popular consumption concept, which is widely welcomed by the market. The group is based on the “big health food industry”, mainly engaged in the distribution of natural grain health food channels, providing safe and reliable nutritional protection for health conscious consumers.
Our business began in May 2024, and by December 31, 2025, our main products include cordyceps peptide selenium powder, Baofei granule extract plant drink, Yancui peptide selenium powder, Ganoderma lucidum and matsutake peptide selenium powder, ginseng peptide selenium powder, collagen peptide prebiotic drink, plant essential oil, and Shangshangyi Congee. We manage our business in two operational departments: offline dealer sales and online live streaming sales. Among them, offline dealer sales mainly rely on our extensive dealer channels for distribution, and online live sales mainly sell goods and services through digital coupons through e-commerce and social platforms such as Douyin, Meituan, Kuaishou, etc. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, offline dealer sales accounted for approximately 86.2% and 94.0% of the consolidated revenue, respectively, while online live streaming sales accounted for approximately 13.8% and 6.0% of the comprehensive revenue, respectively.
Recent Developments
After our company was listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as “NASDAQ”) on October 1, 2025, we received a notification from NASDAQ that they have received a notification from the staff of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (hereinafter referred to as “CSRC”) that the review process for our company’s listing in the United States has not been completed. Accordingly, Nasdaq has suspended the trading of our common stock and warrants, pending Nasdaq’s verification and clarification of the relevant matters with our company. As of the date of issuance of this report, our company has submitted relevant supporting documents to NASDAQ and is awaiting further notification from NASDAQ.
We need to complete the filing procedures related to this corporate merger with the China Securities Regulatory Commission in accordance with the requirements of the “Overseas Listing Application Rules” before its securities are listed on NASDAQ. We submitted the necessary documents related to this corporate merger to the China Securities Regulatory Commission on December 21, 2024. On March 19, 2025, the China Securities Regulatory Commission requested supplementary materials, and we subsequently submitted the supplementary materials on April 2, 2025. As of the date of disclosure of this year’s report, we have not yet obtained the filing notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
23
We issued an interest-free promissory note of $1,000,000 to non-affiliated lender Jiao Yanjun on September 29, 2025. On September 30, 2025, an interest-free promissory note for $2,018,000 was issued to Underwriter D. Boral Capital, LLC. On September 30, 2025, an interest-free promissory note of $1,421,343 was issued to the Sponsor Bengochea SPAC Sponsors I LLC. The promissory note company has repaid $1,014,000 in the current year, and as of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the promissory note is $454,690. The three notes have all matured, and as of December 31, 2025, a default interest of de minimis has been incurred, which is relatively insignificant compared to the overall financial statements. The company is currently negotiating with all parties to extend the expiration date.
We have established our own production base in September 2025 and officially put it into operation in October. This production base focuses on producing high-end health foods, including Yancui Peptide Selenium Powder, Lingzhi Matsutake Peptide Selenium Powder, and Shanshen Peptide Selenium Powder. Our core products are gradually being self-produced and sold, providing a stable foundation for long-term sustainable operation.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
Revenue represents the sales of inventories and digital coupons to customers where our performance obligation to transfer a promised good or service to a customer is satisfied at a point in time, when ownership and control have been transferred to the customer. Revenue is reported net of variable consideration, including applicable discounts, estimated returns, allowances, estimated refunds, and service fees.
Revenue from our wholesale distribution segment is comprised of sales of inventories to distributors, and includes shipping and handling charges billed to the distributor. We have determined that distributor agreements that include a minimum purchase volume do not create a material right that gives right to a separate performance obligation as there are no discounts or other incentives provided to the distributor associated with the distribution agreement, or with the minimum purchase volume. Our performance obligation is created as new orders are received from a distributor. We are not obligated to transfer any products until a distributor submits an order specifying the quantity of products it wishes to purchase, which represents an option to purchase additional goods, not variable consideration. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue at the time control of the products ordered transfers to the distributor.
We determined that any variable consideration related to a potential shortfall to a minimum purchase volume at the end of the distributor agreements was deemed to be fully constrained at inception and therefore excluded from the initial transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments as we could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur. We will recognize any remaining revenue associated with a shortfall to a minimum purchase volume during the period we can assert that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur. We review our variable consideration estimates at the end of each quarter. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur for a potential shortfall to the minimum purchase volume at the end of the in place distributor agreements, which have a remaining term of twelve months.
Additionally, if the minimum purchase volume is not met, we may reassess whether to renew the distribution agreement or maintain the distributor at their current tier, ensuring alignment with our strategic objectives and market conditions.
Revenue from our live-stream sales segment is comprised of sales of digital coupons to customers for goods or services (or for discounts on goods or services) to be provided by third-party merchants. We determined that we are the principal in these transactions as we have complete discretion in establishing the pricing of the digital coupons.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of inventories where the performance obligation to transfer a promised good or service to the customer is satisfied as of period end.
24
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are recorded when incurred and consist of three components — selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.
Selling Expenses consist primarily of advertising costs on social networking sites and affiliate programs, offline marketing costs, such as television, and online marketing costs, such as search engine marketing.
General and Administrative Expenses consist primarily of compensation expense, including employee benefits, for employees involved in customer service, operations, technology, as well as general corporate functions, such as finance, legal, and human resources. Additional costs include depreciation and amortization, amortization of shares issued for services to certain consultants, rent, utilities, professional fees, travel and entertainment, recruiting, maintenance, certain technology costs and other general corporate costs.
Research and Development Expenses consist primarily of compensation expense, including employee benefits, material costs, testing costs and other expenses related to our investment in the development of new products and services.
Other Income, net
Other income consists primarily of interest income from bank deposits.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation adjustment results from the translation of the financial statements from an entities functional currency to our reporting currency is reported in other comprehensive income.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our results of operations and our ability to grow our business over time could be impacted by a number of factors and trends that affect our industry generally, as well as new offerings of products and services we may acquire or seek to acquire in the future. Additionally, our business is concentrated in certain markets, putting us at risk of region-specific disruptions such as adverse economic, regulatory, political, weather and other conditions. See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Report for further discussion of risks affecting our business. We believe the factors discussed below are key to our success.
Attracting and Retaining Customers
Our wholesale distribution segment depends on our ability to attract and retain individual distributors to comprise our entire distribution network. Recruiting, onboarding, and training new distributors can be time-consuming and costly, impacting our ability to replace distributors that are underperforming, expand our market share, maintain positive relationships with the end consumer of our products, and sustain financial stability.
Our live-stream sales segment depends on our ability to attract and retain local merchants who are willing to offer us digital coupons to the local merchants’ experiences. Merchants can cancel their unsold digital coupon offerings at any time, and their willingness to continue offering the digital coupons through our live-stream offerings depends on the effectiveness and reach of our live-stream offerings. We are focused on improving the live-stream offerings and merchant value proposition by exploring opportunities to better balance the needs of the local merchant partners, end customers, and CN Healthy.
To grow our business, we must continue to acquire new distributors and local merchants and successfully engage and retain them, including assisting our distributors to engage and retain customers for the distributor’s business. Our marketing strategy aims to preserve liquidity and achieve profitability, while simultaneously attracting long-term customers to fuel a return to growth. We utilize both digital and offline channels to attract new visitors to our website and subsequently convert them into customers. Our marketing costs are largely composed of advertising. At any given time, our advertising efforts may include, social media marketing, keyword search campaigns, affiliate programs, partnerships, campaigns with celebrities and influencers, display advertising, television, radio, video, content, direct mail, email, mobile “push” communications, SMS, and search engine optimization. We expect our marketing expenses to vary from period to period.
25
Inventory Management
Since our own production base was put into operation in October 2025, our core products have gradually achieved self production and self sales, and the proportion of self production is expected to gradually increase. At present, we still have some products manufactured through OEM or purchased from suppliers. We consider the cooperating manufacturers and suppliers as key partners in the product development process, who are crucial to the group’s supply chain and provide important products to support the group’s continued operation and development. The procurement department rigorously screens suppliers through on-site assessments of their scale, technical capabilities, production capacity, and delivery cycles to ensure they meet the group’s quality standards.
Supplier Arrangement
Since our own production base was put into operation in October 2025, it has solved the supply problems of three main products, ensuring the stability and timeliness of product delivery. With the release of internal production capacity, our dependence on a single or a few external suppliers and the risk of supplier concentration have been effectively alleviated, reflected in a decrease in the number and proportion of suppliers with procurement volume exceeding 10%. This structural optimization has reduced our dependence on specific suppliers and effectively dispersed the risk of supply chain disruptions that may arise from single supplier production capacity, quality, or delivery issues.
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions
We may be impacted by adverse consequences of the macroeconomic environment, including but not limited to, global economics and geopolitical uncertainty, higher labor costs, labor shortages, government regulations, trade restrictions and tariffs, supply chain challenges and resulting changes in consumer and merchant behavior. We cannot predict whether, or when, such circumstances may improve or worsen or what impact such circumstances could have on our business.
Increasing prices in the component materials for our inventories that we source from our suppliers may impact the availability, the quality and the price of our products, as suppliers search for alternatives to existing materials and increase the prices they charge. Our suppliers may also fail to provide consistent quality of products as they may substitute lower cost materials to maintain pricing levels.
A discrete event impacting a specific supplier, customer, industry or region in which we have a concentrated exposure could negatively impact our results of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in the PRC use its local currency as the functional currency. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any such currency. For example, the value of the RMB depends to a large extent on Chinese government policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market.
The consolidated income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations.

Revenue
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $27.8 million, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $16.5 million, or 144.6%. Growth for the period was driven by our life cycle with four additional months of revenue generating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. We also implemented strategic promotional campaigns and new product launches to reach new customers and increase business with existing customers to drive revenue growth.
Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $9.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $5.5 million, or 145.7%. The increase was primarily driven by a 126.0% increase in revenue from our wholesale distribution segment and the introduction of digital coupons for goods from our live-stream sales segment during 2025. These increases were partially offset by costs savings attributed to bringing production in-house during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $6.6 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $4.6 million, or 231.6%. The increase was attributable to our focus to scale and grow our business as business operations generated cash flows enabling us to hire additional employees, establish a sales and marketing function, and establish a research and development function that facilitated additional growth in both our customer base and our product offerings. Our operating expenses also increased as a result of certain costs associated with the Business Combination and costs attributed to becoming a public company during September 2025 including, $2.0 million of expenses associated with management advisory services, $0.34 million of additional insurance expense, and $0.09 million of additional audit fees incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 that were not incurred during the same period in 2024.
Other Income, net
Total other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $0.5 million, compared to less than $0.1 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $0.5 million, or 706.9%. The increase was primarily driven by increased cash balances from operations to hold in deposit accounts and generate interest income.
Provision for Income Tax
The provision for income tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.9 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of $2.3 million, or 142.3%. The increase in the provision for income tax was attributable to the increase in revenue, offset by the increase in cost of revenue, operating expenses and other income.
27
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs and to make deposits with certain of our suppliers. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents, which have historically been sufficient to meet our working capital and substantially all of our capital expenditure requirements.
As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $33,013,749 and a net working capital surplus of $12,280,831. As of December 31, 2025, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were held in the PRC.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months, though we may require additional capital resources in the future. Additionally, if the wholesale distribution segment and live-stream sales segment revenue mix changes, the operating cash flow generated from the wholesale distribution segment may not be sufficient to cover operating costs and additional capital resources may be required in the future. We may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of equity to fund our future needs beyond the next twelve months or through the acquisition of a debt facility.
Cash Flows Summary

Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities
For the year ended December 31, 2025, operating activities used $9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, primarily resulting from a net income of $8.4 million, non-cash adjustments totaling approximately $2.8million, and a net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $20.2 million. Net cash used in changes in operating assets and liabilities was driven primarily by a decrease in advances from customers of $21.2 million, an increase in prepayments and other current assets of $1.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $0.6 million, an increase in inventories of $0.2 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.2 million. These outflows were partially offset by an increase in income tax payable of $0.2 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, operating activities provided $42.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, primarily resulting from a net income of $4.0 million, non-cash adjustments totaling $0.3 million, and a net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $37.8 million. Net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities was driven primarily by an increase to advances from customers of $38.3 million, an increase in income tax payable of $0.9 million, an increase in accounts payable of $0.6 million, and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.8 million. These inflows were primarily offset by an increase in prepayments and other current assets of $1.4 million and an increase in inventories of $1.4 million
28
Cash flows used in investing activities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million, of which $0.7 million was attributed to the purchase of property and equipment, $0.1 million was attributed to the acquisition of intangible assets and less than $0.1 million was attributed to long term investment.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities of approximately less than $0.1 million was primarily attributable to a loan made and repaid to our construction developer for RMB 20 million (approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 2024) and a purchase of an intangible asset of approximately less than $0.1 million.
Cash flows provided by financing activities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was less than $0.1 million, of which $1.0 million was attributed to consummation of Business combination and partially offset by a repayment of a promissory note to a related party of $1.0 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the cash provided by financing activities was nil.
Holding Company Structure
We face various risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in China. Our business operations are primarily conducted in China, and we are subject to complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals on offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy, which may impact our ability to conduct certain businesses, accept foreign investments, or list and conduct offerings on a United States or other foreign exchange. These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our common stock, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors, or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of risks relating to doing business in China, see “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC” in this Report.
The PRC government’s significant discretion and authority in regulating our operations and its oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by, and foreign investment in, China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Implementation of industry-wide regulations in this nature may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For more details, see “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC - Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our holding company structure, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of New CFI’s securities, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline” in this Report “Risk Factors - The Company and CFI have concluded, based on advice received from CFI’s legal counsel in the PRC, that CFI has made all necessary filings with the CSRC under applicable PRC securities laws, and that there are no material legal impediments under currently effective PRC securities laws that would prevent the completion of the Business Combination and the combined company’s listing on a U.S. national securities exchange. If the relevant PRC governmental authorities, including the CSRC, reach a different conclusion about the transaction or the applicability or scope of current PRC laws and regulations, the Company could be subject to legal sanctions or penalties” in our Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on October 6, 2025.
Risks and uncertainties arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and quickly evolving rules and regulations in China, could result in a material adverse change in our operations and cause our Common Stock to decrease in value or become worthless. For more details, see “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC - Uncertainties with respect to the legal system and changes in laws and regulations in mainland China could adversely affect us in this Report.
29
Cash and Other Assets Transfers between the Holding Company and Its Subsidiaries
We refer to our subsidiaries domiciled in the PRC as the “PRC Subsidiaries” and the parent company of the PRC Subsidiaries domiciled in Hong Kong as “CFI HK”.
As of December 31, 2025, there were no capital contributions made to our PRC Subsidiaries, neither directly nor through intermediate holding companies.
To date, there have not been any dividends or other distributions from our PRC Subsidiaries to our intermediate holding companies located outside of mainland China. Our intermediate holding companies may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries for their cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to their stockholders, subject to our charter and M&A and BVI law or HK law (as applicable) or to service any expenses and other obligations it may incur.
Within our direct holding structure, the cross-border transfer of funds from CFI HK to its PRC Subsidiaries is permitted under laws and regulations of the PRC currently in effect. Specifically, CFI HK is permitted to provide funding to its PRC Subsidiaries in the form of shareholder loans or capital contributions, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements in China. There are no quantity limits on CFI HK’s ability to make capital contributions to its PRC Subsidiaries under the PRC law and regulations. However, the PRC Subsidiaries may only procure stockholder loans from CFI HK in an amount equal to the difference between its registered capital and total investment amount as recorded in the Chinese Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System or 2.5 times of its net assets, at the discretion of such PRC Subsidiaries.
For additional information, see “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC - PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business” in this Report.
The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax will be applicable to dividends payable by PRC companies at a rate of 10% to non-PRC-resident enterprises, unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. Pursuant to the tax agreement between mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment of dividends by a PRC enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10%. However, if the relevant tax authorities determine that our transactions or arrangements are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable tax treatment, the relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the reduced 5% withholding rate will apply to dividends received by CFI HK from our PRC Subsidiaries. This withholding tax will reduce the amount of dividends we may receive from our PRC Subsidiaries.
If we or CFI HK is classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes because the PRC tax authorities determined that either we or CFI HK has an actual management body located within the territory of China, we will be subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on our worldwide income, which would materially reduce net income.
For additional information, see “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC - Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, New CFI may be classified as a PRC “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to New CFI and its non-PRC shareholders and have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and the value of your investment” in this Report.
There is no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on the ability of us or our PRC Subsidiaries to transfer cash. Most of our cash is in Renminbi, and the PRC government could prevent the cash maintained in our bank accounts in mainland China from leaving mainland China, could restrict deployment of the cash into the business of our subsidiaries and restrict the ability to pay dividends. For details regarding the restrictions on our ability to transfer cash between us, and our subsidiaries, see “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC - Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations and affect the value of your investment” in this Report.
We currently do not have cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between our holding company and our subsidiaries.
30
Restrictions on Our Ability to Transfer Cash Out of the PRC and to U.S. Investors
Our PRC Subsidiaries ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to its shareholders only out of its accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, under PRC law, our PRC Subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC Subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to CFI HK.
To address persistent capital outflows and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, implemented a series of capital control measures in the subsequent months, including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments and shareholder loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and our PRC Subsidiaries’ dividends and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of mainland China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any.
For additional information, see “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC - Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations and affect the value of your investment” in our Report.
Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims will not have a significant adverse effect, individually, or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Commitments
Our contractual obligations consist of annual lease payments of $247,541 on a lease that terminates on December 31, 2027.
Government Contribution Plan
Pursuant to the laws applicable to companies organized under the laws of the PRC, the PRC Subsidiaries are required to participate in a government-mandated multi-employee defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain retirement, medical and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the PRC Subsidiaries to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The relevant local bureau is responsible for meeting all retirement benefit obligations and there are no further commitments beyond the monthly contribution for the PRC Subsidiaries.
31
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, despite the following circumstances—the Nasdaq trading suspension has lasted for more than five months with no clear recovery date, three outstanding promissory notes are in default, and the filing result with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) remains pending—the company maintains sufficient cash on hand, amounting to $33 million, which is adequate to cover all its debts. The company is currently engaged in constructive negotiations with creditors to resolve the promissory note defaults, and communication regarding the CSRC filing is progressing in an orderly manner. In addition, the company has demonstrated strong operating performance, with continued growth in revenue and net profit. Its own production base has commenced operations, reducing reliance on external suppliers, and overall operations remain stable. Based on the above, management has assessed that there are no material doubts regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Related Party Transactions
On May 30, 2024, the stockholder of Rosy Sea contributed to the Company (i) a building with a gross floor area of 4,032.36 square meters and (ii) a land use right for 18,000 square meters that expire in September 2056, both of which are located in Deliger Industrial Park, Duerbot Mongolian Autonomous County, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. These building and land use rights (collectively, the “Contributed Assets”) were recorded on the contribution date at fair value of RMB 30,310,000 ($4,189,937 at May 30, 2024 and $4,332,228 at December 31, 2025) and RMB 19,860,000 ($2,745,369 at May 30, 2024 and $2,838,603 at December 31, 2025), respectively.
At Closing, compensation of $2,000,000, as provided in the Amended BCA, was accounted for as transaction costs related to the Business Combination and charged to additional paid-in capital and was payable to the Sponsor, a shareholder of the Company. The Company included $1,000,000 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, included $900,000 as part of a promissory note that was entered into with the Sponsor, and paid $100,000 at Closing. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company made repayments totaling $1,014,000 on the promissory note with the Sponsor. As of December 31, 2025, $1,000,000 of unpaid compensation owed to the Sponsor was included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $454,690 remains outstanding under the promissory notes with the Sponsor.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the years end December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes thereto which are included elsewhere in this Report.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experiences and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.
The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other disclosures included in this Report. When reviewing our consolidated financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
ASC 606 requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
In accordance to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of its products primarily to its customers in PRC, as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual goods or services to customers, and there is no separately identifiable other promises in the contracts. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at the time of shipment for the wholesale distribution segment and the time of digital coupon redemption for the live-stream sales segment. The Company’s sales are net of value added tax (“VAT”) in respect of product sales.
We make significant estimates related to revenue recognition including estimates for refund reserves for digital coupons that will be refunded as a result of customer dissatisfaction with goods or services received, services fees paid to the live-stream platforms for digital coupons redeemed, and an allowance for inventories that will be returned. We estimate refunds, service fees and returns allowance using historical refund, service fee, and redemption experience. We also consider trends when making those estimates that could be driven by changes to our policies, or in general, economic conditions that may impact customer behavior. We reevaluate our estimate as facts and circumstances change and at the end of each quarter. These estimate rely on judgments regarding future expectations of customer behavior. While the basis of our estimates is historical data, customer behavior may not always be predictable. If actual refunds and returns differ from our estimates, the effects could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate our variable consideration estimates related to the potential shortfall to a minimum purchase volume at the end of our distributor agreements and recognize revenue in the period we can assert it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Payment terms are established based upon credit approvals. Contract assets are recognized for contacts where our performance obligation is satisfied prior to where payment has been received in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of when our performance obligation is satisfied. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing when an order is placed and when shipment, delivery, and digital coupon redemption occurs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than accounts receivable and advances from customers, the Company had no other material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on its consolidated balance sheets. Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in general and administrative expense when incurred.
The Company generally warrants that its products will substantially conform to the agreed-upon specifications. The Company’s liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns and refunds have historically been immaterial. As such, the Company does not record a specific return or refund reserve and does not consider activities related to such activities to be a separate performance obligation.
33
Inventories
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a first-in, first-out methodology. The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. For finished goods, if the estimated net realizable value for an inventory item, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs to disposal, is lower than its cost, the specific inventory item is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Provisions for inventory write-downs are included in the cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income. Inventories are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped.
Valuation of Contributed Assets
The fair value of the Contributed Assets from the stockholder of Rosy Sea was determined by our board of directors, after considering a third-party valuation and input from management, as there is no public trading market for the Contributed Assets.
The cost approach was determined to be the most appropriate valuation methodology as relevant financial data, valuation information, and appraisal data for these Contributed Assets was readily available. The cost approach estimates fair value based on the expected cost to replace or reproduce the assets and relies on assumptions regarding the occurrence and extent of any physical, functional and/or economic obsolescence. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the replacement cost of the Contributed Assets by the condition rate
The replacement cost of the Contributed Assets considered the cost to reacquire the asset as of the contribution date, including all reasonable and necessary expenses, capital cost and profit.
The condition rate refers to the ratio obtained by subtracting physical depreciation, functional depreciation, and economic depreciation from the asset’s replacement cost and then dividing that difference by the replacement cost, were:
| ● | Physical depreciation refers to the loss in value of an asset due to wear and tear and natural forces affecting the physical performance of the asset. |
| ● | Functional depreciation is caused by technological advancements that make an asset’s functions relatively obsolete. |
| ● | Economic depreciation refers to the loss in value due to external conditions causing the asset to become idle or decrease in earnings. |
Impairment of Long-lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable. Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company has determined there have been no events and circumstances that indicate possible impairment since inception on its long-lives and intangible assets.
Warrants
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing liabilities from equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance, modification, and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
34
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We assess the classification of our warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liability is required.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method and assess whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. We are also subject to taxation in the United States, BVI, Hong Kong, and the PRC. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related income tax assets and liabilities.
To assess whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized and whether a valuation allowance needs to be recorded against them, we consider the following four sources of taxable income for each tax jurisdiction: (a) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (b) projected future earnings, (c) taxable income in carryback years, and (d) tax planning strategies.
During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. For example, our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where it has lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries where it has higher statutory rates, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, by changes in the measurement of certain tax positions, by changes affecting transfer pricing or by changes in the relevant laws, regulations, principles and interpretations.
The Company’s operating subsidiaries in China are subject to the income tax laws of the PRC. No significant income was generated outside the PRC for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Contingencies
We are involved in legal proceedings regarding contractual and employment relationships and a variety of other matters. We record contingent liabilities when a loss is assessed to be probable and its amount is reasonably estimable. If it is reasonably possible that a material loss could occur through ongoing litigation, we provide disclosure in the footnotes to our financial statements. Assessing probability of loss and estimating the amount of probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors, including in some cases judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts. Should we experience adverse court judgments or should negotiated outcomes differ to our expectations with respect to such ongoing litigation it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Information Disclosure Control and Procedures are designed to ensure that all information required for disclosure in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is properly recorded, processed, and aggregated, and reported within the deadlines specified by SEC rules and forms. They also guarantee that such information is consolidated and communicated to our management team—including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), or individuals performing equivalent roles—to enable timely decision-making regarding necessary disclosures when appropriate.
Under the supervision and participation of our management team, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the fiscal quarter ending December 31,2025. The definition of this term is provided in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Trading Act. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that during the reporting period, our disclosure controls failed to operate effectively at a reasonable assurance level due to responsibilities segregation, lack of oversight and review mechanisms, and insufficient documentation of control measures. Consequently, we were unable to provide reasonable assurance that the information required for disclosure in our Trading Act filings would be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the timelines specified by SEC rules and filings.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as well as evaluating their effectiveness. According to the definition provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), financial reporting internal controls refer to a process designed by the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to reasonably ensure the reliability of financial reports and guarantee that financial statements comply with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may fail to prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, there is a risk in forecasting the effectiveness of future periods, as control measures may become inadequate due to changing conditions, or compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Conclusions on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31,2025. During the assessment, management utilized standards based on the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” (2013 Edition) issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation results and these standards, we conclude that as of December 31,2025, our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective due to three critical deficiencies: insufficient personnel familiar with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), absence of oversight committees, and inadequate staffing to achieve required segregation of duties. These findings were identified through significant deficiencies detected during the review process.
Despite identified material deficiencies, management asserts that the consolidated financial statements in Form 10-K for this annual report present the company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows fairly in all material respects in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) during the reporting period.
36
Remedial Measure
Management will consider implementing the following remedial measures designed to address the aforementioned material weakness and strengthen the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. These measures include:
| ● | Seeking additional accounting professionals with experience in reporting under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations; |
| ● | Engaging external accounting consultants to provide technical accounting consultation and audit support; |
| ● | Implement enhanced review procedures for journal entries and account reconciliations; |
| ● | Develop and document a formal end-of-period reconciliation checklist and financial reporting schedule; |
| ● | Strengthen documentation of key control measures in accordance with the COSO framework. |
Management will monitor the effectiveness of these remedial measures and will not consider adding personnel or implementing review procedures for improvement until the newly implemented control measures have been operational for an adequate duration and have been tested to confirm their operational efficacy.
Certified Public Accountant Firm Verification Report
This annual report does not include the attestation report on financial reporting internal control issued by the company’s registered public accounting firm. As the company is an emerging growth enterprise, it is exempt from providing such attestation under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Changes in Internal Control of Financial Reports
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, management assessed under Sections 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Transaction Act that no material changes were identified in our financial reporting internal controls that would significantly impact or reasonably be expected to significantly impact such controls.
Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Board of Directors
As of the date of this annual report, our board of directors consists of seven directors. The amended articles of association stipulate that the minimum number of directors shall be three, with the exact number to be determined from time to time by our board of directors.
Directors are not required to meet qualification requirements through shareholding. If a director has any direct or indirect interest relationship with contracts, transactions, or proposed contracts/transactions entered into with us, they must declare the nature of such interests at board meetings. Except as prohibited by Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Chairman’s veto power, directors may vote on any contracts, proposed contracts, or arrangements where they may have conflicts of interest, provided that: (a) the nature of their interests has been disclosed at board meetings—either through specific statements or general notices—and the director’s vote counts toward the quorum required for reviewing such contracts/arrangements; and (b) if the transaction involves related parties, it must be approved by the Audit Committee.
Director Liability
Directors are bound by fiduciary duties under both common law and statutory law, including a statutory obligation to act in good faith and with the best interests of the company in mind. When exercising authority or performing duties, directors must demonstrate the prudence, diligence, and expertise expected of a reasonable director in the given circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, considering the nature of the company, the type of decisions involved, the director’s position, and the scope of responsibilities they undertake.
Appointment and Removal of Directors
The company’s articles of association stipulate that all directors are elected annually within a single-category structure. By allowing shareholders to vote on the entire board composition each year, this mechanism enhances shareholder influence and accountability. Shareholders holding at least two-thirds of voting rights can remove directors regardless of justification, providing clear governance tools to address board composition issues.
Term of Directors and Senior Management Personnel
Each director is elected annually for a term of one year.
Board of Directors Committee
We have established the Audit Committee, Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, and Compensation Committee, and have formulated respective charters for these three committees. The membership and functions of each committee are described as follows.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of John L. Suprock, Lydia Bergamasco, and Jingyu Huang, with Ms.Jingyu Huang serving as Chairperson. Ms.Huang meets the financial expert criteria for audit committees as stipulated by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. All three members satisfy the ‘Independent Director’ requirements under NASDAQ Listing Rules and Section 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee shall always consist solely of “independent directors” who must possess the “financial knowledge” defined by Nasdaq listing standards. Nasdaq’s criteria define “financial knowledge” as the ability to read and comprehend basic financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
Furthermore, the Audit Committee has and will continue to include at least one member with professional experience in finance or accounting, necessary accounting certifications, or equivalent expertise, ensuring profound financial knowledge. The Board has confirmed that Ms.Jingyu Huang meets the criteria for ‘Audit Committee Financial Expert’ as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations.
40
Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Donghai Li and Lydia Bergamasco, with Donghai Li serving as its Chairperson. Both Donghai Li and Lydia Bergamasco meet the requirements for ‘independent directors’ under Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Our nomination to the Corporate Governance Committee will primarily support the Board of Directors in the following ways:
| ● | Identify, screen, and review candidates qualified to serve as directors, and recommend to the board of directors candidates for nomination at the annual general meeting or candidates to fill board vacancies; |
| ● | Formulate, recommend to the board of directors, and oversee the implementation of our corporate governance standards; |
| ● | Coordinate and oversee the annual self-assessment of corporate governance conducted by the Board of Directors, its committees, individual directors, and management; and |
| ● | Conduct regular reviews of our overall corporate governance practices and provide improvement recommendations when necessary. |
Guide to Selecting Director Candidates
The nomination criteria stipulated in the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee Charter typically require nominees to:
| ● | Should demonstrate significant or major achievements in the field of business, education or public service; |
| ● | Should possess the necessary intelligence, education, and experience to make significant contributions to the board of directors, and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives, and backgrounds to deliberations; and |
| ● | Must possess the highest ethical standards, strong professional awareness, and a firm determination to serve the interests of shareholders. |
The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates for board membership based on their management experience, leadership background, integrity, and professional competence. The committee may require specific skills or qualifications such as financial or accounting expertise to address temporary board needs, while also considering the overall experience and composition of members to ensure diversity and inclusivity. The committee does not differentiate between candidates recommended by shareholders and others. The shareholder nomination process for board candidates remains unchanged.
41
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee consists of John L. Suprock and Jingyu Huang, with John L. Suprock serving as its Chairman. Both John L. Suprock and Jingyu Huang meet the requirements for ‘independent directors’ under Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are stipulated in our Compensation Committee Charter, including but not limited to:

| ● | Prepare an executive compensation report if required, and incorporate it into our annual mandate; and |

Business Ethics and Code of Conduct
We have established a code of ethics applicable to all directors and senior management personnel (including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer), as detailed in Appendix 14.1 of the 8-K filing dated October 6, 2025. The current annual report’s Appendix 14.1 incorporates a copy of our code of ethics through citation. Additionally, upon request, we will provide a complimentary copy of the code of ethics.
Insider Trading Policy
Limitation of Liability and Compensation for Executives and Directors
Our amended and restated Company Registration Certificate stipulates that we shall indemnify our directors and senior officers within the maximum authorized scope pursuant to current Delaware laws or any future amendments thereto. Furthermore, the revised registration certificate specifies that directors shall not be liable to us for monetary compensation arising from breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacity as directors, unless they have violated their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, acted in bad faith, intentionally or knowingly violated laws, authorized illegal dividend distributions, engaged in unauthorized stock purchases or redemptions, or obtained improper personal benefits from their directorship.
We have entered into agreements with management personnel and directors to provide contractual compensation in addition to the indemnities specified in our amended and restated company registration certificate. Our articles of association further authorize us to purchase insurance on behalf of any manager, director, or employee to assume liability arising from their conduct, regardless of whether Delaware law permits compensation. We have acquired directors and senior executives liability insurance that, under certain circumstances, provides coverage for defending, settling, or paying judgment costs on behalf of our directors and senior executives, while also safeguarding our obligation to compensate them.
42
These provisions may prevent shareholders from filing lawsuits against directors for breaching fiduciary duties. They could also reduce the likelihood of derivative lawsuits against directors and senior executives, even though such lawsuits might have been beneficial to us and our shareholders if won. Furthermore, if we incur settlement costs and damages for directors and executives under these compensation clauses, shareholders’ investments could suffer adverse impacts. We believe these provisions, insurance arrangements, and compensation agreements are essential for attracting and retaining talented and experienced directors and senior executives.
Regarding the possibility of exempting our directors, senior executives, and controlling shareholders from liabilities under the Securities Act pursuant to the aforementioned or other regulations, we have learned that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) deems such exemptions contrary to the public policy embodied in the Securities Act and therefore unenforceable.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Director and Executive Compensation
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid cash compensation of 728,000 yuan to directors and senior management teams. We did not reserve or accrue any amount for senior management teams to provide pensions, retirement benefits, or other similar benefits. According to legal requirements, our Chinese mainland subsidiaries are required to contribute a certain percentage of each employee’s salary to pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance, maternity insurance, and other statutory benefits, as well as housing provident funds.
Employment Agreement and Indemnity Agreement
All executives have entered into employment contracts with the company. These contracts stipulate fixed-term employment terms, allowing termination without prior notice or compensation in cases of policy violations, criminal convictions, persistent failure to satisfactorily perform contractual duties, or misconduct/insincerity detrimental to corporate interests. The employment relationship may also be terminated without cause upon written notice given 30 days in advance. Executives may resign at any time provided they submit written notice 30 days prior to departure.
All senior executives have agreed to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all confidential information and trade secrets of our company, including those belonging to our clients or potential clients, as well as any confidential or proprietary information received from third parties and subject to confidentiality obligations, both during employment and after termination or expiration of their employment contracts, unless necessary for performing employment-related duties or as required by applicable laws. The executives further agree to disclose to us all inventions, designs, and trade secrets conceived, developed, or implemented during their employment, transfer all rights, ownership, and interests thereof to us, and assist in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights, and other legal rights related to these innovations. Additionally, each senior executive has agreed to be bound by non-compete and non-recruitment clauses during their tenure and typically for one year after departure.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each director and senior executive. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to compensate directors and senior executives for certain liabilities and expenses arising from claims resulting from their roles as directors or senior executives of the Company.
In addition, pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Compensation Clause in the 8-K filing annex 3.2 revision and restatement details dated October 6, 2025, directors may receive attendance fees for each board meeting (if applicable), as well as a fixed amount (in cash or other forms of consideration) or their stipulated salary for attending board meetings. No such payments shall preclude any director from serving the company in other capacities and receiving compensation therefor. Members of the Special Committee or Executive Committee may be compensated for attending committee meetings.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The table below presents the beneficial ownership information of our common shares as of December 31, 2025:
| ● | Each beneficial owner holding more than 5% of our issued common shares; |
| ● | Each of our named executives and directors; and |
| ● | All our senior executives and directors as a single entity. |
The determination of beneficial ownership is based on regulations issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These regulations generally stipulate that an individual holds beneficial ownership of a security if they possess either individual or joint voting rights or investment rights, including currently exercisable or options and warrants available for exercise within 60 days. Unless otherwise specified in the footnote below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar legal provisions, we believe that each of the listed individuals holds individual voting rights and investment rights regarding such shares.
The percentage of common shares actually held by the parties listed in the table below is calculated based on 52,234,983 issued and tradable common shares as of December 31, 2025.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Principal Shareholder
Please refer to “Section 12: Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.”
Related Party Policy
Our ethical guidelines require us to avoid all related-party transactions that may create actual or potential conflicts of interest, unless approved by the board of directors (or audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as: (1) transactions involving a total amount exceeding $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) where we or any of our subsidiaries are participating parties, and (3) where any of the following individuals hold or may hold significant direct or indirect interests: (a) executives, directors, or director nominees; (b) beneficial owners holding over 5% of our common stock; or (c) immediate family members of individuals specified in (a) and (b) (excluding cases where individuals serve as directors of another entity or where beneficial ownership is below 10%). Conflicts of interest may arise when an individual’s conduct or interests could impair objective and effective performance of duties. Conflicts may also occur if an individual or their family members obtain improper personal benefits through their positions.
In accordance with our written bylaws, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions conducted by the company. When determining whether to approve such transactions, the Audit Committee considers all relevant factors, including whether the terms offered to related parties are no less favorable than those typically provided to non-related third parties in comparable circumstances, as well as the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. Directors are prohibited from participating in approving transactions involving related parties, but they must provide the Audit Committee with all material information regarding such transactions. Additionally, we require every director and senior executive to complete a Director and Senior Executive Questionnaire to gather information on related-party transactions.
These procedures are designed to determine whether any such related-party transactions compromise the independence of directors or raise conflicts of interest among directors, employees, or senior executives.
Our audit committee will review all payments made to our shareholders, senior executives or directors, or to us or their affiliates, on a quarterly basis.
Satisfaction and Discharge Agreement with Sponsor
On September 30,2025, CFI reached a settlement agreement with the sponsor Bengochea SPAC Sponsors I LLC to fulfill its obligations under the business combination agreement, specifically to fund the $3,079,293.09 in sponsor debt upon completion of the merger. As part of the agreement, Iron Horse paid $1,657,949.96 in cash to the sponsor on the same day to settle partial debt obligations. On September 30,2025, Iron Horse and CFI jointly issued a $1,421,343.13 senior note to the sponsor, maturing on November 15,2025, with a 15% default interest rate applicable in the event of specified default events. To secure repayment, Iron Horse retained 5,000,000 common shares (“Sponsor Reserve Shares”) with Continental Securities Transfer Trust pursuant to irrevocable transfer instructions. Should the principal of the sponsor’s promissory note fail to be paid promptly, the sponsor may issue a notice to Continental Securities Transfer Trust (subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap) to transfer the Reserve Shares to itself (“Sponsor Delivery Notice”) without requiring consent from Iron Horse or CFI. Failure to complete the transfer within 48 hours would trigger the aforementioned 15% default interest rate. The company must submit a resale registration declaration for any reserved shares issued within 60 days after the Mainland Securities Transfer Trust Company receives the sponsor’s delivery notice. As of December 31, 2025, the total outstanding amount of sponsor payable notes and held sponsor payable notes amounted to $454,690. According to the data on the preparation date of the consolidated financial statements, our company has violated the payment obligation under the sponsor’s payable notes and is currently negotiating with the sponsor to extend the maturity date of the notes.
45
As of the reporting date of this annual report, the note has not been honored. The company holds $33.01 million in cash and cash equivalents, which is sufficient to cover the repayment plans for the note, demonstrating strong liquidity.
Transactions with Related Parties in the Course of Business Operations
As of December 31, 2025, Iron Horse entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Jiang Zhenjun, a shareholder of the Group, who paid on its behalf the total acquisition-related fees amounting to $1,715,250.
As of December 31, 2025, CFI had conducted related-party transactions with Mr. Jiang Zhenjun, a group shareholder. Mr. Jiang paid on behalf of CFI the following fees: $78,000 for the 2024 annual audit, $3,825 for U.S. agent fees, HK$16,280 for the 2025 annual filing fee, membership roster and income ownership information registration fee, and RMB 7,755 for CFI’s name change fee.

Mr. Jiang paid on behalf of CFI HK the following fees: HKD 4,500 for the 2024 annual filing fee, office registration fee, and business registration update fee; RMB 2,068 for the name change fee; and HKD 800 for the 2024-2025 profit tax filing service fee.

Independence of Directors
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board members must be independent. We comply with this requirement. Currently, under Nasdaq listing rules, John L. Suprock, Lydia Bergamasco, Donghai Li, and Jinyu Huang are all classified as “independent directors.” The general definition of an independent director excludes senior executives, employees, or any other related parties of the company or its subsidiaries, as the board deems such involvement would compromise their ability to exercise independent judgment in fulfilling board responsibilities.

Audit Committee Pre-approved Policies and Procedures
In addition to other responsibilities, the Audit Committee of our company’s Board of Directors is tasked with overseeing the operations of independent certified public accounting firms in compliance with relevant regulations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Exchange. The Audit Committee has implemented a pre-approval policy for audit services provided by independent certified public accounting firms and non-audit services, commonly referred to as the “Pre-Approval Policy.”
Under the pre-approval policy provisions, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee holds relevant authority to pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services, excluding those listed in Article 201: “Services beyond the auditor’s scope of practice.” Furthermore, if the Audit Committee approves a service within the audit service category, it shall be deemed that the relevant service has undergone pre-approval. Decisions regarding audit work pre-approval made by the Audit Committee under its authorization must be submitted for discussion at the Committee’s regular meetings.
Our Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and other services provided by KD & Co. and its member firms, as mentioned above, except for negligible services. Such services require prior approval from the Audit Committee before the audit is completed.
For the years 2024 and 2025, our total audit fees, tax expenses, and other related costs have all been approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with Section 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Implementation Rules No. S-X. However, minor services require prior approval from the Audit Committee before completion.

Report of independent certified public accountant firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries focus on the high-end health food field driven by AI artificial intelligence technology and biotechnology innovation, mainly engaged in the research and development, production, and sales of related products. The group deeply integrates modern biotechnology with traditional Chinese medicine theory, precisely meeting the market’s growing demand for safe, high-quality, nutritious and healthy food.
The Company’s operating subsidiaries are domiciled in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and are collectively referred to as the “PRC Subsidiaries” and the parent company of the PRC Subsidiaries (“CFI HK”) is domiciled in Hong Kong.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: On September 29, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Iron Horse Acquisition Corp. (“Iron Horse)” consummated the merger transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement (the “Initial BCA”) executed during September 2024 with Grain Science Technology Innovative Bio (BVI) Co., Ltd, a company incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Legacy CFI”), and Rosy Sea Holdings Limited, a company incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Rosy Sea” or the “Seller”) and the owner of
On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Iron Horse changed its name to CN Healthy Food Tech Group Corp (the “Company” or “CN Healthy”) and the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq stock market under the ticker symbol UCFI. Legacy CFI was deemed the accounting acquirer to the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combination (“ASC 805”). The determination was primarily based on Legacy CFI’s stockholder prior to the Business Combination having the greatest voting interest in the combined company, Legacy CFI’s stockholder having the ability to control decisions regarding the election and removal of directors and officers of the combined company, Legacy CFI will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company, and Legacy CFI’s existing senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy CFI’s issuing stock for the net assets of Iron Horse, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Iron Horse are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
While Iron Horse was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy CFI was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy CFI became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy CFI prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of Iron Horse and Legacy CFI following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy CFI at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.
In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of all wholly owned subsidiaries. References to U.S. GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in these accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements are to the FASB accounting standards codification (“ASC”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CN Healthy and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Emerging Growth Company: The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the net realizable value of inventories, the valuation of nonmonetary transactions, the useful life and recoverability of long lived assets, the determination of reserves for customer refunds, classification of warrants, income tax provision, determination of uncertain tax positions, and determination of deferred tax valuation allowances. These estimates are based on assumptions which management believes are reasonable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates.
Segment Information: ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses operating income as the primary measure to manage the business. The Company determined there are
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and fixed deposits held at banks, both of which are highly liquid and has original maturities of three months or less and is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in excess of insured limits of RMB
Customer and Supplier Concentration Risk
Customer: The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, requirement for customer advances, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs in-depth credit evaluations on customers or requires a customer deposit to be paid in advance of delivering our performance obligation. The Company enters into distribution agreements with each of its distributors in its wholesale distribution segment that are typically for two years. These agreements set forth the terms of the business relationship, the Company’s requirements for a distributors business practices, required compliance measures, minimum purchase volumes, if any, the Company’s commitment to provide marketing and promotion support to the distributor, and exclusivity requirement to only sell the Company’s products to the distributor’s customers.
F-8
The Company maintains a low concentration risk, with no single customer contributing more than 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, or 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Supplier: The Company currently obtains inventory from approximately twelve suppliers. The Company formalizes the relationship with suppliers through three-year supply agreements, which establish clear responsibilities regarding product specifications, production standards, delivery obligations, and quality assurances. The Company sources each of its products from two to three different suppliers to minimize disruption to its supply chain if one supplier were to encounter production issues. The Company evaluates each potential supplier through on-site assessments of the supplier’s scale, technical capability, production capacity, and delivery timelines to ensure a potential supplier meets the Company’s quality standards. Access to sufficient capacity from these suppliers in periods of high demand may be limited, as the Company may not account for a significant part of a supplier’s business. If the Company were to change or add additional suppliers, the Company’s on-site assessment process could prevent or delay product shipments that could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations.
Two suppliers each contributed over 10% of the Company’s total procurement, with individual contributions of
Reliance on these suppliers may negatively affect the Company’s production if the inventory varies in reliability or quality. If the Company is unable to obtain timely deliveries of sufficient quantities of acceptable quality or if the supplier’s prices increase, results of operations could be harmed.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses: Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of an allowance for expected credit losses, if any. The Company also adopted this guidance for other receivables. To estimate expected credit losses, the Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables. The Company considers the past collection experience, current economic conditions, future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors) and changes in the Company’s customer collection trends. The allowance for credit losses and corresponding receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024,
Other Receivables: Other receivables consist of amounts paid on behalf of employees which are expected to be either repaid by the employee or recoverable through statutory offsets within the next 12 months.
Prepaid and other current assets: Prepaid and other current assets consist of funds deposited for future finished goods, services purchased from suppliers, or amounts paid on behalf of employees, all of which are expected to be either repaid by the employee or recoverable through statutory offsets within the next 12 months. Certain of the Company’s suppliers require deposits as a guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases to secure a specific purchase price.
Inventories: Inventories, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The valuation of inventories requires the Company to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. The Company employs a variety of methodologies to determine the net realizable value of its inventory. While a portion of the calculation to record inventory at its net realizable value is based on the age of the inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value calculations, a key factor in estimating obsolete or excess inventory requires the Company to estimate the future demand for its products. If actual demand is less than the Company’s estimates, impairment charges, which are recorded to cost of sales, may need to be recorded in future periods. Inventory in excess of saleable amounts is not valued, and the remaining inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, an allowance for obsolete or slow-moving inventory was not required.
The Company recorded a provision for inventory shrinkage of $

Property and equipment, net: The Company’s property consists of a building recorded at fair value that was contributed by a stockholder (see Note 12) and is being depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
| Useful life | |||
| Building | |||
| Equipment | |||
| Leasehold improvements |
The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred, while the costs of major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
Land Use Right, net: According to the laws of the PRC, the government owns all land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government. The land use rights contributed to the Company are recorded at fair value (see Note 12) and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term of approximately
Intangible Asset, net: Intangible asset consists of a definite-lived trademark. The trademark is being amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of
Investment in equity securities: Investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, Investment in Equity Securities (“ASC 321”), under either the measurement alternative method or as an equity method investment.
Measurement Alternative Method: Investments in equity securities that either (i) do not provide the Company with control or significant influence or (ii) do not have risk and reward characteristics that are substantially similar to an investment in the investee’s common stock. The Company records such investments under the measurement alternative method pursuant to ASC 321 as these investments do not have readily determinable fair values. Under the measurement alternative method, the Company records the investment at cost less impairment losses, if any, unless it identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, in which case the Company will measure its investments at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. Such investments are presented as Other Investments on the consolidated balance sheets and any impairment recognized related to these investments are presented as Impairment of other investments, a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Equity Method: The Company utilizes the equity method to account for investments when it possesses the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of the investee. Generally, the ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the investor possesses more than
The Company subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the equity method investment by the Company’s proportionate share of the net earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss of the investee based on the Company’s percentage of common stock or in-substance common stock ownership during the respective reporting period. The Company records its share of the results of equity method investees and any impairment related to equity method investments as earnings or losses from investments in equity method investees, net of tax in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In the event that net losses of the investee reduce the carrying amount to

During April 2025, the Company acquired a
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: In accordance with ASC 360, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360”), the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company’s historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Advances from Customers: Advances from customers consist of deposit payments from customers for inventories that were not yet shipped as of period end and is expected to be shipped within the next 12 months. The Company will recognize the advances from customers as revenue as inventories are shipped and title to the assets is transferred to customers in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
Revenue Recognition: The Company’s revenue arrangements primarily consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services to a customer. Substantially all of the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time rather than over time when title, risks and rewards of ownership, and subsequently control have transferred to the customer.
Wholesale distribution segment
Revenue primarily represents the sale of inventories to distributors. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the distributor, is recognized at the time the product is shipped to a distributor and is reported net of variable consideration, including applicable discounts, estimated returns, and allowances.
The Company determined minimum purchase volumes required by the distributor agreements, if any, do not provide a distributor a material right that gives rise to a separate performance obligation as there are no discounts or other incentives provided in the distributor agreement. The Company’s performance obligation is created as new orders are received from the distributor. The Company is not obligated to transfer any products until the distributor submits an order specifying the quantity of products it wishes to purchase, which represents an option to purchase additional goods, not variable consideration. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue at the time control of the products ordered transfers to the distributor.
The Company determined that any variable consideration related to a potential shortfall to a minimum purchase volume at the end of the distributor agreements was deemed to be fully constrained at inception and therefore excluded from the initial transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments as the Company determined that it could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur. The Company will recognize any remaining revenue associated with a shortfall to a minimum purchase volume during the period the Company can assert that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur. The Company reviews its variable consideration estimates at the end of each quarter. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized would not occur for a potential shortfall to the minimum purchase volume at the end of the in place distributor agreements, which have a remaining term of twelve months.
F-11
The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific distributor agreements, and anticipated future trends to estimate variable consideration at the time of sale and to reduce the transaction price. The Company has no obligations related to discounts, returns, and allowances recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Live-stream sales segment
Revenue primarily represents the sale of digital coupons to customers for goods or services (or for discounts on goods or services) to be provided by third-party merchants. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions because it has discretion in establishing the pricing of the digital coupons. Revenue is recognized at the time the customer redeems the digital coupon for goods or services (or for discounts on goods or services) from the third-party merchant as that is the timing for when the Company’s obligations to the customer are satisfied. Revenue is reported net of variable consideration, including estimated refunds and service fees
The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements, and anticipated future trends to estimate estimated refunds and service fees at the time of sale and to reduce the transaction price. The Company has no obligations related to service fees and refunds recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
There were no acquisition costs associated with obtaining customers in either segment and there were insignificant amounts owed to third-party merchant for the goods or services to be provided at the time the digital coupon is redeemed as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of inventories, warehousing and distribution costs such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs.
Research and Development Expense: Research and development costs did not meet the requirements to be recognized as an asset as the associated future benefits were at best uncertain and there was no alternative future use at the time the costs were incurred. Research and development costs mainly consist of labor costs, including salaries and benefits, material costs, testing costs, and other expenses.related to the Company’s investment into the development of new products and services.
Advertising Costs: The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. There was $
Leases: The Company’s determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an evaluation of whether the arrangement conveys the right to use and control specific property or equipment. The Company leases office space under an operating lease primarily having an initial term of approximately three years.
The Company records a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset at lease commencement for identified leases at the lease commencement date, which is generally when the Company takes possession of the asset. Lease agreements may contain adjustments to lease payments based on fixed escalation clauses, an index or a rate. Lease agreements may also require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other costs, collectively referred to as operating costs, in addition to lease payments. Lease agreements also may contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays. Lease agreements can include one or more options to renew or extend the initial lease term. The exercise of a lease renewal option is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.
F-12
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the minimum fixed lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes options to extend or terminate the lease agreement when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised, using the Company’s discount rate as of lease commencement. Minimum fixed lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses the loan prime rate announced by the Bank of China as its incremental borrowing rate.
The Company accounts for fixed lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Therefore, minimum lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract.
Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized upon the occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments, which is generally within general and administrative expenses.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within general administrative costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statement of stockholder’s equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and gains from foreign currency translation adjustments.
Warrants: The Company evaluates the appropriate balance sheet classification of warrants issued as either equity or as a derivative liability. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), a warrant is classified as equity if it is “indexed to the Company’s equity” and meets several specific conditions for equity classification, A warrant is not considered “indexed to the Company’s equity,” in general, when it contains certain types of exercise contingencies or potential adjustments to its exercise price. If a warrant is not indexed to the Company’s equity or it has net cash settlement provisions that result in the warrants being accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) or ASC 815, it is classified as a derivative liability which is carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with any changes in its fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. At December 31, 2025, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants were classified as equity.
Capital Contributions: Contributions of tangible and intangible assets in which no consideration is exchanged are accounted for as capital contributions in accordance with ASC 505, Equity (“ASC 505”) and are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions (“ASC 845”)
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022: On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal
F-13
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which is an asset and liability approach that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any 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.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. The Company does not have any entity-level uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), Hong Kong, and PRC. The Company’s tax returns remain open, subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
Under the current laws of the United States, CN Healthy is subject to an income tax rate of
Under the current laws of the BVI, the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, upon payment of dividends by the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in BVI to its stockholder, no BVI withholding tax will be imposed.
Under the current laws in Hong Kong, the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in Hong Kong are subject to a Hong Kong profits tax rate of
Under the current laws in the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries domiciled in the PRC are subject to a
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were unrecognized tax benefits and amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potential dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common share equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Earnings per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not consider the effect of the warrants assumed during the Business Combination (see Note 1 and Note 3) as the exercise of these warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events ,nor the shares of common stock that the holders of the promissory notes could elect to receive (see Note 8 and Note 9) as the conversion formula is not defined.
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in the reporting currency of the U.S dollar (“USD”). The functional currency for each entity included in these consolidated financial statements is the applicable local currency used in the primary economic environment of the respective entity. The Company’s entities domiciled in the PRC and Hong Kong maintain their books in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), respectively, while the entities domiciled in the United States and BVI maintain their books and records in USD. For each entity whose functional currency is not the USD, assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Equity transactions are translated using the historical exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction, except for the change in retained earnings during the year, which is the result of the operations translation process. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. As a result, amounts relating to the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into the reporting currency are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss). The translation adjustment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was a gain of $
Remeasurement gains and losses from transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency are recorded as other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. All of revenue transactions are transacted in the respective entity’s functional currency. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not entered into any material transaction in a currency other than its functional currency since inception. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Translation of amounts from the functional currency into the reporting currency has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1: Inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| ● | Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3: Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are both unobservable for the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following techniques noted in ASC820:
| ● | Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
| ● | Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based upon market expectations (including present value techniques, option pricing, and excess earnings models). |
F-15
The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The Company’s financial instruments with a carrying value that approximates fair value consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, advances from customers and income tax payable because of the short-term nature or expected settlement dates of these instruments. The Company does not have any financial instruments, assets or liabilities that have recurring fair value measurements.
Government Contribution Plan: Pursuant to the laws applicable to companies organized under the laws of the PRC, the PRC Subsidiaries are required to participate in a government-mandated multi-employee defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain retirement, medical and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require the PRC Subsidiaries to pay to the local labor bureau a monthly contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The relevant local bureau is responsible for meeting all retirement benefit obligations and there are no further commitments beyond the monthly contribution for the PRC Subsidiaries.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period presentation and disclosures were reclassified to ensure comparability with current period presentation. The reclassifications have not change the results of operations of the prior period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, adopted:
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), requires disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendment also includes other changes to improve the effectives of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. Accordingly, the expanded disclosures are provided for the year ended December 31, 2025 while prior period disclosures have not been retroactively adjusted and continue to be presented under the previous disclosure requirements. As this update only impacts disclosures, its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 14 for additional information.
ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements (“ASU 2024-02”) updates accounting standards for revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), and impairment of long-lived assets (ASC 360). ASU 2024-02 provides enhanced guidance for estimating variable consideration, accounting for contract modifications, determining lease terms, and simplifying impairment testing for long-lived assets. It also introduces increased disclosure requirements for financial instruments and derivatives. ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2024-02 on January 1, 2025 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted:
ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), requires public companies to disaggregate key expense categories, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation and depreciation in their financial statements. This aims to improve investor insight into company performance. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASU 2025-05, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
F-16
ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting: Narrow Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), provides clarity about the current requirements for interim reporting. ASU 2025-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”), represent changes to the ASC that clarify, correct errors or make minor improvements, making the ASC easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
The Company has evaluated other new accounting standards issued by the FASB and SEC that are not yet effective. Management does not expect these standards to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 3 – Reverse Recapitalization
On September 29, 2025, Legacy CFI and Iron Horse consummated the merger contemplated by the BCA, with Legacy CFI surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Iron Horse.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Iron Horse was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes (see Note 1). Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy CFI issuing stock for the net assets of Iron Horse, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Iron Horse are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.
The Business Combination represents a reverse acquisition for federal income tax purposes in the United States. Prior to the Business Combination, Iron Horse filed separate standalone federal, state and local tax returns and Legacy CFI did not file any federal, state or local tax returns as there were no operations based in the United States. As a result of the Business Combination, Legacy CFI will file a full year consolidated income tax return in the year the Business Combination closes, with Iron Horse joining in the return the day after the Closing Date.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements: The Company enters into contractual relationships that contain indemnification provisions in its normal course of business with other parties. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from a breach of representation, covenant, or third-party infringement claims. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been no such indemnification claims. Management believes any liability arising from these agreements will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
F-22
Legal Matters: The Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings relating to intellectual property, safety and health, employment and other matters. Management believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions, and claims will not have a significant adverse effect, individually, or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Nasdaq Notices: Following its listing on Nasdaq on October 1, 2025, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it had received a notification from personnel at the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) informing Nasdaq that the CSRC had not yet completed its process of review of the Company’s U.S. listing. As a result, Nasdaq has halted trading of the Company’s common stock and warrants while it seeks clarification of these matters from the Company.The Company has provided Nasdaq with additional documentation and is awaiting further information at this time.
Geographical Data: Primarily all of the Company’s revenue is generated in the PRC and all of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC.
Industrial Park Project: On August 5, 2024, Legacy CFI entered into an agreement with a construction developer to develop an industrial park project (the “Project”) in the Mulan Economic Development Zone, committing to make aggregate estimated disbursements totaling RMB
On October 25, 2024, Legacy CFI, Rosy Sea’s stockholder, and the construction developer signed a Tripartite Agreement, under which Legacy CFI transferred all responsibilities and capital commitments of the Project to Rosy Sea’s stockholder for no consideration. As a result, Legacy CFI ceased to be a party to the Project.
The Company evaluated this transaction under ASC 470-50, Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments, as the execution of the Tripartite Agreement resulted in the modification and ultimate extinguishment of Legacy CFI’s obligations related to the Project. Since no liability had been previously accrued for the Project’s disbursement commitments, no gain or loss was recognized upon the transfer.
Although the transfer was made for no consideration, Rosy Sea’s stockholder has significant capital contributions in the Company, including additional paid-in capital received for prior building and capital contributions. The Company considered these factors in its assessment and determined that the transaction was appropriate in the context of the overall restructuring efforts related to the Business Combination (see Note 3). Management believes this was a one-time transaction and does not expect similar transfers in the future.
Short-term operating leases: In June 2024, the Company entered a seven-month lease for office space of approximately 150 square meters in Zhuhai, China, expiring December 31, 2024, with monthly payments of RMB

| Startup expenses | ||||||||
| Other | ||||||||
| Total deferred tax assets, gross | ||||||||
| Valuation allowance | ( | ) | ||||||
| Total deferred tax asset | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the Company’s U.S. deferred income tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilized the loss carry-forwards. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income. At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized will be recognized. However, if the Company will not able to generate sufficient taxable income from its operations in the future, then a valuation allowance to reduce the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets may be required, which would increase the Company’s expenses in the period the allowance is recognized.
Income tax provisions are generally based on an annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items related specifically to annual periods. The income tax impact of discrete items is recognized in the period these occur.
