  • Disclosure controls were ineffective at December 31, 2025 because of a material weakness, with remediation still uncertain.
  • Prior-year market-access risks were removed, while ownership concentration and additional-share financing remain investor concerns.

What changed since the prior 10-K

New

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Since completing our business transformation in 2025 , our new business has generated revenue and achieved profitability, but still faces risks of sustained growth and market competition

    The new digital services business must sustain growth despite stronger competition, higher customer acquisition costs, and faster technology changes.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our limited operating history in our new lines of business makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects and increases the risk of investment

    Limited history in digital services makes future demand, pricing, customer adoption, growth, and competitive performance difficult to assess.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our reliance on AI and data analytics exposes us to unique operational and ethical risks

    AI-generated content could be biased, inaccurate, offensive, or infringing, creating reputational, legal, intellectual-property, and regulatory costs.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Cybersecurity incidents or data breaches could disrupt our operations and harm our reputation

    Hacking, phishing, ransomware, insider misconduct, or third-party cloud failures could expose sensitive data and disrupt operations.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our success depends on the continued efforts of our senior management and key technical personnel

    Losing executives or technical staff supporting MCN operations, AI content creation, or blockchain authentication could delay product development.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    We are subject to stringent and evolving laws and regulations regarding data privacy and cybersecurity

    Failure to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws could cause fines, litigation, data-release consequences, and lost customer trust.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, and if we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures in the future, investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information

    A material weakness made disclosure controls ineffective at December 31, 2025, risking inaccurate or late filings, regulatory action, and investor distrust.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Economic instability, inflation, global conflicts, or public health crises could adversely affect our business

    Inflation, interest rates, conflicts, trade disputes, health crises, and economic weakness could reduce demand, raise costs, disrupt providers, and restrict financing.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be adversely affected by changing economic conditions, including interest rates and inflation, and other factors beyond our control

    Recession, inflation, banking instability, Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, China-Taiwan tensions, tariffs, and trade retaliation could weaken customers and cash flow.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Company

    Our operations could be adversely impacted by civil unrest, acts of war or terrorism, other criminal activities, infectious disease outbreaks or other unexpected events, including natural disasters, outside our control

    War, terrorism, civil unrest, criminal activity, disease outbreaks, or natural disasters could reduce customers, impair employees, and interrupt service delivery.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Common Stock

    A large portion of our C ommon S tock is controlled by a small number of stockholders

    Concentrated ownership, including the CEO-controlled Youxin Consulting, lets a small group influence director elections and major corporate transactions.

    Furthermore, any additional equity financing or purchases of additional shares of our Common Stock from these stockholders may further reduce the public float and liquidity of our Common Stock which can in turn affect the market price of our Common Stock

    Additional purchases or equity financing by large stockholders could shrink the public float, reduce liquidity, and pressure the share price.

  • NewRisks Related to Our Common Stock

    We are a “smaller reporting company” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies may make our C ommon S tock less attractive to investors
