Previous wording

Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may materially adversely affect customer demand for our services.

Current wording

Changes in trade policies, tariffs, global sourcing patterns and commodity flows, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may materially adversely affect customer demand for our services, shipment volumes and operating results.

Previous wording

Our business is significantly influenced by global trade dynamics. If the U.S. continues to impose new tariffs, this may cause supply chain disruptions and could further escalate input costs for our suppliers and equipment manufacturers, raising the cost of revenue equipment used by us and our owner-operators. Similarly, trade-related disruptions or geopolitical tensions may contribute to increased fuel prices. While we may attempt to pass these increased costs through to our customers via rate adjustments or fuel surcharges, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so fully or in a timely manner. Our customers may reduce their orders from us, which could negatively affect our business, profitability and operating results. We are closely monitoring these developments and evaluating strategies to mitigate potential impacts.

Previous wording

Furthermore, as a result of policy changes and government proposals, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade in general. The new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on U.S. goods. Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or sectors thereof, our industry and the demand for our transport services, and as a result, could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current wording

Furthermore, if trade-policy developments, geopolitical events, or shifts in domestic or international demand reduce shipping volumes, change commodity flows away from the ports and markets we serve, compress pricing, or otherwise disrupt our customers’ businesses, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade in general.

On October 1, 2024, dockworkers across ports from Maine to Texas on the East and Gulf Coasts initiated a strike, citing concerns over wages and the need for protections against increased automation. This strike was temporarily resolved on October 3, 2024, after the union and U.S. Maritime Alliance reached a tentative deal on wages and agreed to extend the existing master contract until January 15, 2025 to allow for further negotiations on unresolved issues. On January 8, 2025, the parties reached a tentative agreement for a six-year contract. However, should negotiations fail and the strike resume, it could pose a major disruption to the flow of goods, materially restricting both imports and exports through these key Eastern and Gulf ports, particularly if the strike extends for weeks or even longer. Such an extended disruption to supply chains, if happens, could have significant ripple effects on the U.S. economy, and our operations could be materially adversely affected if our customers suspend exporting waste paper, scrap metal and other commodities we transport to ports for an extended period. At this stage, we cannot be certain whether the strike will resume, how long it might last, or the extent of the impact it may have on our business.

Current wording

We may not be successful in managing our growth or implementing our business strategies.

Previous wording

Many of our business strategies require time, significant management and financial resources and successful implementation. Consequently, we may be unable to effectively and successfully implement our business strategies. We also cannot ensure that our operating results, including our operating margins, will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in and expansion of our business, including the expected geographic expansion of our services in the United States and overseas, or by changes in economic conditions. Our results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a failure to further penetrate our existing customer base, cross-sell our services, secure new customer opportunities and manage the operations and expenses of new or growing services. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any of our business strategies. Even if we are successful in executing our business strategies, we still may not achieve our goals.

Our results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a failure to further penetrate our existing customer base, cross-sell our services, secure new customer opportunities and manage the operations and expenses of new or growing services. For example, in 2025 our revenues increased modestly, while our cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses increased substantially, and our gross margin declined. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any of our business strategies. Even if we are successful in executing our business strategies, we still may not achieve our goals.

On January 12, 2024, two drivers, Rainey Mejia Rodriguez and Frank Santana Rodriguez (the “plaintiffs”), filed a class action lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary, Toppoint Inc, and certain other parties, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, alleging misclassification of truck drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly situated individuals who provided services in New Jersey from January 2018 through the date of the complaint. The complaint asserts violations of the New Jersey Wage Payment Law and the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, including claims of unlawful wage deductions and failure to pay overtime. The plaintiffs sought compensatory damages, treble and/or liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief, without specifying a dollar amount of damages. On July 27, 2024, August 26, 2024, and November 22, 2024, the Court issued multiple orders dismissing the case for lack of prosecution. Upon a motion to reinstate the case filed on January 15, 2025 by the plaintiffs, the Court reinstated the case on January 31, 2025. We believe the claims are without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against them.

Although we believe the claims are without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against them, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter or similar claims. An adverse outcome in this litigation or in any future misclassification challenge could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

Taxing and other regulatory authorities and courts apply a variety of standards in their determination of independent contractor status. The Department of Labor has issued the rule entitled “Employee or Independent Contractor Classification Under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” effective March 11, 2024. This rule addresses how to analyze whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor under the FLSA. The “economic reality test” under this rule focuses on the economic realities of the worker’s relationship with the potential employer and whether the worker is either economically dependent on the potential employer for work or in business for themself. The economic reality test looks at, in the totality of circumstances, multiple factors, including (1) opportunity for profit or loss depending on managerial skill, (2) investments by the worker and the employer, (3) permanence of the work relationship, (4) nature and degree of control, (5) whether the work performed is integral to the employer’s business, and (6) skill and initiative. Additional relevant factors may also be considered in determining the worker’s status. This new rule makes it more likely that a worker will be classified as an employee. If the independent contractors with whom we or our owner-operators contract are determined to be employees, we and/or our owner-operators would incur additional exposure under federal and state tax, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment and tort laws, including for prior periods, as well as potential liability for employee benefits and tax withholdings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In recent years, various factors such as the geopolitical instability in Ukraine and Gaza and the COVID-19 pandemic caused great financial instability in the global economy, which resulted in, among others things, the diesel fuel price to surge to record high in the United States. Cost of diesel fuel represents a significant expense for our owner-operators which we draw on to provide trucking services and solutions to our clients. Diesel fuel prices fluctuate greatly due to factors beyond our control, such as political events, terrorist activities, armed conflicts, depreciation of the dollar against other currencies and weather, such as hurricanes, and other natural or man-made disasters, each of which may lead to an increase in the cost of fuel. Fuel prices also are affected by the rising demand in developing countries, and could be adversely impacted by diminished drilling activity and by the use of crude oil and oil reserves for other purposes. Such events may lead not only to increases in fuel prices, but also to fuel shortages and disruptions in the fuel supply chain. Because our operations are dependent upon diesel fuel, significant diesel fuel cost increases, shortages or supply disruptions could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from a small number of major customers, the loss of, or significant reduction of business with, one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our top ten customers, based on revenue, accounted for approximately 48% and 49% of our total revenue, respectively. A substantial portion of our freight is from customers in the waste paper products industry. As such, our volumes are largely dependent on a well-functioning supply chain and export demand. In the event of a reduction in or termination of our services by one or more of our major customers, we could be required to replace the volumes elsewhere at uncertain rates and volumes, suffer reduced equipment utilization or lose our owner-operators. Failure to retain our existing customers, or enter into relationships with new customers, each on acceptable terms, could materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to meet our current and long-term financial forecasts.

Current wording

Our business requires sufficient cash to fund operations, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments and our growth initiatives. Although we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and equity financing from completed IPO during 2025, we incurred a net loss and used cash in operating activities. We also used substantial cash in investing activities during 2025, including for a note receivable and other investment-related expenditures. As a result, if we were unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, manage our expenditures, or recover amounts deployed in investments in a timely manner, our liquidity could be adversely affected.

As a result, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

The significant deficiencies that have been identified relate to our lack of robust and formal financial reporting policies and procedures in place to address SEC disclosure requirements.

The material weaknesses that have been identified relate to (i) we do not have internal audit function in place to monitor the control execution which may lead a material audit adjustments to the financial statements; (ii) lack of assessment and implementation of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the requirement of COSO 2013 framework. Our independent registered public accounting firm didn’t undertake a comprehensive assessment of our internal control for purposes of identifying and reporting material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to correct the significant deficiencies or our failure to discover and address any other deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could significantly hinder our ability to prevent fraud.

We also may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations relating to exhaust emissions, drivers’ Hours of Service, ergonomics, collective bargaining, security at ports and other matters affecting safety or operating methods. We, as well as our owner-operators and other independent contractor drivers, must comply with enacted governmental regulations regarding safety, equipment, environmental protection and operating methods. Examples include regulation of equipment weight, equipment dimensions, fuel emissions, driver Hours of Service, driver eligibility requirements, on-board reporting of operations and ergonomics. We may also become subject to new or more restrictive regulations related to safety or operating methods, which could adversely affect our owner-operators’ fleets and operations in those jurisdictions.

The Tax Act as modified by the CARES Act is unclear in many respects and could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations and implementing regulations by the Treasury and IRS, any of which could lessen or increase certain adverse impacts of the legislation. In addition, it is unclear how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. Our analysis and interpretation of this legislation is preliminary and ongoing and there may be material adverse effects resulting from the legislation that we have not yet identified. While some of the changes made by the tax legislation may adversely affect us, other changes may be beneficial. We continue to work with our tax advisors and auditors to determine the full impact that the recent tax legislation will have on us. We urge our investors to consult with their legal and tax advisors with respect to such legislation and its potential effect on an investment in our common stock.

Once our common stock is listed on NYSE American, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate NYSE American’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of NYSE American’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from NYSE American may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

We have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this initial public offering, and our actual expenditures may differ significantly from our current plans. While we intend to allocate these funds for geographic expansion, investments in physical and IT infrastructure, sales and marketing efforts, general working capital, and other corporate purposes, various factors may influence how we ultimately deploy these resources. Shareholders will not have the ability to evaluate or influence these decisions and must rely on our management’s judgment. There is a risk that the proceeds may be used in ways that do not align with shareholder expectations, do not enhance profitability, or do not increase our share price. Additionally, we may invest or allocate these funds in ways that do not generate income or that may result in losses.

While we intend to allocate these funds for geographic expansion, investments in physical and IT infrastructure, sales and marketing efforts, general working capital, and other corporate purposes, various factors may influence how we ultimately deploy these resources. For example, we have loaned a substantial portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering ($6 million) to a third-party borrower as a temporary debt investment. See “Item 1A Risk Factors - Operational and Industry Risks - A substantial portion of our capital was loaned to a third-party borrower, and if that borrower delays repayment or defaults, our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.” Shareholders will not have the ability to evaluate or influence these decisions and must rely on our management’s judgment. There is a risk that the proceeds may be used in ways that do not align with shareholder expectations, do not enhance profitability, or do not increase our share price. Additionally, we may invest or allocate these funds in ways that do not generate income or that may result in losses.

Any trading market for our common stock may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our securities could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our securities could be negatively affected.

Future issuances of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common stock or the trading of outstanding common stock, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our securities. In all events, future issuances of our securities would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our securities. In connection with our initial public offering, we have entered into a lock-up agreement that prevents us, subject to certain exceptions, from offering additional shares of capital stock for up to six (6) months after the closing of the offering. In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our securities may become available for resale earlier, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

That lock-up period has expired as of the date of this annual report. As a result, we may be able to offer additional shares, and our securityholders may be able to sell shares, in each case subject to applicable law, which could increase the supply of shares available in the market and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Previous wording

As a public company, we are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements may be time-consuming and result in increased costs to us and could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements may be time-consuming and result in increased costs to us and could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In 2025, our general and administrative expenses increased significantly, primarily due to professional fees associated with being a public company, travel and business development expenses, depreciation expense and the recognition of stock-based compensation. We expect to continue to incur significant costs associated with operating as a public company, including costs related to financial reporting, internal controls, corporate governance, legal compliance and audit activities. These increased costs may continue to materially affect our operating results.

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our securities that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we must provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We are also subject to other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our common stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

Previous wording

Global markets have experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and armed conflicts between Israel and Hamas. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, such conflicts could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip and globally and assessing its potential impact on our business. In addition, sanctions on Russia and hostilities involving Israel could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.
