Current report
We did not generate revenue during 2025 and may not generate revenue in future periods.
Current report
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not generate revenue. Our current activities consist primarily of managing digital assets, marketable securities and cash resources. We may not generate operating revenue in future periods. As a result, our ability to increase stockholder value is currently dependent on the performance of our investment portfolio and our ability to manage liquidity effectively and access to capital markets. If capital markets become unfavorable or inaccessible, we may be unable to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that our strategy will result in increased stockholder value.
Current report
Our business model has changed, and our historical operating results may not be indicative of future performance.
Current report
Historically, we operated as a manufacturer and seller of electric vehicles. During 2025, we transitioned away from those activities and are now focused on digital asset treasury management and management of marketable securities. As a result, our historical financial statements are not indicative of our current operations or future performance. Investors may have difficulty evaluating our business due to the absence of historical operating performance under our current strategy.
Current report
We continuously evaluate our business strategy and may modify our strategy as necessary to respond to developments in our business and other factors, and any such modification, if not successful, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
We continuously evaluate our business strategy and modify our plans as necessary to achieve our objectives in response to changing circumstances. As part of such a process, we may delay, modify or discontinue our business strategy in the digital asset sector and choose alternative approaches if we believe such changes would be in our best interest. We have implemented such changes in our business strategy and may continue to do so in the future. There can be no assurances that changes that we implement will be successful or that, after implementation of any such changes, that we will not refocus our efforts on new or different objectives.
Current report
Our financial results are highly dependent on the performance of digital assets and marketable securities.
Current report
A significant portion of our assets consists of digital assets and marketable securities. The value of these assets may fluctuate significantly due to market volatility, changes in investor sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory developments, liquidity conditions, technological developments, and other factors beyond our control.
Current report
Digital assets in particular are highly volatile and may experience substantial price declines over short periods of time. If the value of our digital assets or marketable securities declines materially, our financial condition and stockholders’ equity could be adversely affected.
Current report
Digital assets are subject to extreme price volatility and may experience significant declines in value.
Current report
Digital asset markets have historically experienced extreme price volatility, including rapid and substantial decreases in value. Market prices may fluctuate due to factors such as:
Current report
There is no assurance that digital asset markets will continue to develop or that digital assets will retain long-term value. Any sustained decline in the value of digital assets could materially and adversely affect our financial condition.
Current report
Digital asset custody and security risks could result in the loss of our assets.
Current report
Digital assets are susceptible to theft, loss, hacking, cyber intrusion, and other security breaches. If private keys are lost, compromised, or destroyed, we may lose access to our digital assets permanently. While we utilize custody solutions and internal controls designed to safeguard our holdings, no system is entirely immune from security risks. Any loss of digital assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Current report
We may be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Current report
Because a substantial portion of our assets consists of digital assets and marketable securities, there is a risk that we could be deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. If we were required to register as an investment company, we would become subject to significant regulatory requirements and restrictions that could materially limit our ability to operate our business as currently structured. We believe we are not currently required to register as an investment company; however, this determination depends on complex legal standards and evolving interpretations.
Current report
We may incur losses from impairment or fair value adjustments.
Current report
Depending on the accounting treatment of our digital assets and marketable securities, we may be required to record impairment losses or recognize fair value fluctuations in earnings. These adjustments could result in significant volatility in our reported results of operations.
Current report
Our multi-token investment strategy targeting the stablecoin industry exposes us to significant risks, including market volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and technological vulnerabilities, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
We have begun a new business strategy focusing on a pureplay, multi-token investment strategy targeting the acquisition of digital assets that directly benefit from the growth of the stablecoin industry. This strategy involves substantial risks that differ significantly from those associated with our historical operations. Digital assets, including stablecoins and tokens tied to the stablecoin ecosystem, are subject to extreme price volatility, liquidity constraints and rapid shifts in market sentiment. These factors could result in significant fluctuations in the value of our holdings over short periods of time.
Current report
The regulatory environment for digital assets, and stablecoins in particular, is rapidly evolving and subject to significant uncertainty in the United States and abroad. Changes in laws, regulations, or government policy, such as restrictions on stablecoin issuance, trading, or use, could adversely impact the viability and value of our investments. Regulatory actions could: restrict our ability to acquire or hold certain digital assets; impose additional compliance burdens; limit liquidity in digital asset markets; require asset divestitures; or result in penalties or enforcement actions. Additionally, stablecoins are dependent on the continued maintenance of their pegged value to a reference currency. Loss of such a peg, operational failures of issuers, or adverse market perceptions could impair the value of related investments.
Current report
Our strategy also involves risks related to custody, cybersecurity and technology. Digital asset holdings are subject to the risk of theft, hacking, or loss of access due to private key mismanagement or third-party service provider failures. Unlike bank deposits or many traditional investments, digital assets are generally not insured, and we may have no recourse if our holdings are lost or compromised.
Current report
There can be no assurance that our multi-token investment strategy will generate positive returns or preserve our capital. If we are unable to effectively manage the risks associated with digital assets, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially harmed.
Current report
There are volatility risks related to stablecoin.
Current report
There are volatility risks related to stablecoins, which are designed to have a relatively stable price relative to an underlying physical asset, most commonly a fiat currency, such as U.S. dollars, or an exchange-traded commodity. The stability of a stablecoin results from the underlying assets backing the stablecoin that are held by the stablecoin’s issuer in reserve accounts, among other factors such as the ability of a holder to redeem the stablecoin from its issuer at par. The issuers of certain stablecoins currently retain broad discretion to determine the composition and amounts of assets held in the issuers’ accounts backing those stablecoins, and to substitute assets other than the fiat currency that is initially deposited. The composition of backing assets varies considerably across popular stablecoins, with some stablecoins backed entirely by off-chain assets including cash or short-term, highly liquid assets, and others backed by assets significantly less liquid than cash or cash equivalents. A lack of applicable law and regulation has afforded discretion to certain stablecoin issuers to determine the composition and amounts of assets backing those stablecoins. There is a risk that an issuer may be unable to liquidate enough backing assets if it were to face mass redemptions of its stablecoin, which could cause the price of the stablecoin to deviate from the price of the underlying fiat currency or other asset with which the stablecoin is designed to align in price. In extreme cases, such as a request to immediately redeem all or substantially all of a particular stablecoin in circulation, even stablecoins backed by reserves comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents may be subject to instability or an inability of the stablecoin issuer to meet all redemption requests, as the market for short-dated U.S. government obligations might not be sufficiently price stable. Market participants have increasingly shown concern about the actual underlying liquidity and reserves for dollar stablecoins such as USDT and USDC. If a stablecoin issuer were to fail to honor its redemption obligations, this could undermine public confidence in stablecoins and in digital assets more broadly, which could have a widespread impact on the cryptoeconomy, causing the prices of other stablecoins and digital assets to become more volatile.
Current report
Our digital assets (tokens) holdings are and will be less liquid than cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
Current report
We intend to adopt digital assets (tokens) as our primary treasury reserve asset. Historically, the digital assets market has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our bitcoin at favorable prices or at all. As a result, our holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Further, digital assets we hold with our custodian does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered digital assets or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of bitcoin has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our digital assets, enter into additional capital raising transactions using bitcoin as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our digital assets holdings, or if we are forced to sell our digital assets at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.
Current report
Our digital assets treasury strategy could subject us to enhanced regulatory oversight.
Current report
There has been increasing focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities, fund criminal or terrorist activities, or circumvent sanctions regimes, including those sanctions imposed in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We are committed to acquiring digital assets exclusively through entities that are subject to, and compliant with, know your customer and anti-money laundering regulations and related compliance rules in the United States. If we are found to have purchased any of our digital assets from bad actors that have used bitcoin to launder money or persons subject to sanctions, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings and any further transactions or dealings in bitcoin by us may be restricted or prohibited.
Current report
We may incur indebtedness or enter into financial instruments in the future that may be collateralized by our digital assets holdings. We may also consider pursuing strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our digital assets holdings. These types of digital assets-related transactions are the subject of enhanced regulatory oversight. These and any other digital assets-related transactions we may enter into, beyond simply acquiring and holding digital assets, may subject us to additional regulatory compliance requirements and scrutiny, including under federal and state money services regulations, money transmitter licensing requirements and various commodity and securities laws and regulations.
Current report
The laws and regulations applicable to digital assets are evolving and subject to interpretation and change. See “Risks Related to Regulatory Matters - Regulatory and compliance uncertainty in the U.S. and abroad could limit or delay our ability to execute our digital asset strategy.” In addition, private actors that are wary of bitcoin or the regulatory concerns associated with bitcoin may in the future take further actions that may have an adverse effect on our business or the market price of our Common Stock.
Current report
We plan to purchase additional digital assets using primarily proceeds from equity and debt financings, but we may be unable to obtain such financings on favorable terms.
Current report
Our ability to achieve the objectives of our digital asset acquisition strategy depends in significant part on our ability to obtain equity and debt financing. The terms of debt or equity securities that we issue may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of those securities. If we are unable to obtain equity or debt financing on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to successfully execute on our digital asset acquisition strategy.
Current report
Our ability to obtain equity or debt financing may in turn depend on, among other factors, the value of our digital asset holdings, investor sentiment and the public perception of digital assets, our strategy and our value proposition. Accordingly, a significant decline in the market value of our digital asset holdings, our inability to monetize our digital assets, decentralized finance or other yield-generating activities, or a negative shift in these other factors may create liquidity and credit risks, as such a decline or such shifts may adversely impact our ability to secure sufficient equity or debt financing.
Current report
Digital assets constitute the vast bulk of assets on our balance sheet. If we are unable to secure equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all, we may be required to sell our digital assets to satisfy our financial obligations, and we may be required to make such sales at prices below our cost basis or that are otherwise unfavorable. Any such sale of digital assets may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could impair our ability to secure additional equity or debt financing in the future. Our inability to secure additional equity or debt financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all, or to sell our digital assets in amounts and at prices sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations, including any debt service and cash dividend obligations, could cause us to default under such obligations. Any default on our future indebtedness or any newly issued preferred stock could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Such actions could cause significant variation in our operating results.
Current report
There are also volatility risks related to stablecoins, which are designed to have a relatively stable price relative to an underlying physical asset, most commonly a fiat currency, such as U.S. dollars, or an exchange-traded commodity. The stability of a stablecoin results from the underlying assets backing the stablecoin that are held by the stablecoin’s issuer in reserve accounts, among other factors such as the ability of a holder to redeem the stablecoin from its issuer at par. The issuers of certain stablecoins currently retain broad discretion to determine the composition and amounts of assets held in the issuers’ accounts backing those stablecoins, and to substitute assets other than the fiat currency that is initially deposited. The composition of backing assets varies considerably across popular stablecoins, with some stablecoins backed entirely by off-chain assets including cash or short-term, highly liquid assets, and others backed by assets significantly less liquid than cash or cash equivalents.
Current report
A lack of applicable law and regulation has afforded discretion to certain stablecoin issuers to determine the composition and amounts of assets backing those stablecoins. There is a risk that an issuer may be unable to liquidate enough backing assets if it were to face mass redemptions of its stablecoin, which could cause the price of the stablecoin to deviate from the price of the underlying fiat currency or other asset with which the stablecoin is designed to align in price. In extreme cases, such as a request to immediately redeem all or substantially all of a particular stablecoin in circulation, even stablecoins backed by reserves comprised primarily of cash and cash equivalents may be subject to instability or an inability of the stablecoin issuer to meet all redemption requests, as the market for short-dated U.S. government obligations might not be sufficiently price stable. Market participants have increasingly shown concern about the actual underlying liquidity and reserves for dollar stablecoins. If a stablecoin issuer were to fail to honor its redemption obligations, this could undermine public confidence in stablecoins and in digital assets more broadly, which could have a widespread impact on the crypto economy, causing the prices of other stablecoins and digital assets to become more volatile.
Current report
Volatility in stablecoins, operational issues with stablecoins (for example, technical issues that prevent settlement), concerns about the sufficiency of any reserves that support stablecoins, or regulatory concerns about stablecoin issuers or intermediaries, such as crypto asset spot markets, that support stablecoins, could have a significant impact on the global digital asset market and may adversely affect our business.

Previous report
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis; we must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
In its report dated March 31, 2025, Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have insufficient liquidity to fund our future operations. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $16.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $4.1 million in marketable securities. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations in the future, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital and cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. If are unable to raise sufficient capital to fund our operations, we may need to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development programs or other operations, sell some or all of our assets or merge with another entity.
Previous report
Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends mainly upon our ability, alone or with others, to successfully market our products to meet the market demand and maintain compliance with the rules, regulations and laws of federal, state, local and international governmental bodies. We may be unable to achieve any or all of these goals with regard to our products. Our future vehicle roadmap requires significant investment prior to commercial introduction, but these vehicles may never be successfully designed, engineered, manufactured or sold. Moreover, scaling up of our operations, launching additional products and expanding our sales territories will require significant additional investment. We will continue to incur losses until such time that our vehicle sales volume supports our underlying overhead costs. As a result, we may never be profitable or achieve significant and/or sustained revenues. Even if we are successful in generating revenue and increasing our customer base, we may not become profitable in the future or may be unable to maintain any profitability achieved if we fail to increase our revenue and manage our operating expenses or if we incur unanticipated liabilities.
Previous report
The market for our products is developing and may not develop as expected.
Previous report
The market for our electric vehicles is developing and may not develop as expected. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving multi-level government regulations and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. The electric vehicle market is in its early stage where many standards and best practices have not been established or are constantly evolving, and it may take many years for the market to fully mature.
Previous report
We believe our future success will depend in large part on our ability to quickly and efficiently adapt to both the market demand for products and features, as well as adapt to newly created statutory laws at federal, state, local and international levels. Due to the nature of the electronic vehicle market still in development, it is difficult to predict the demands for our electric vehicles and ancillary services and products, as well as the size and growth rate for this market, the entry of competitive products, or the success of existing competitive products. If a meaningful market for our vehicles does not develop, we will not be successful.
Previous report
We are currently evaluating our product development strategy, which may result in significant changes and have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Previous report
Following the hiring of our former Chief Executive Officer, in the third quarter of 2021, we initiated a strategic review of our product development strategy. This process has resulted, and may further result, in us modifying or discontinuing current or planned products, reallocating time and resources among existing products, exploring new products or making other operational changes, including adjusting our reliance on internal and external resources. Most recently, on January 31, 2024, we implemented an internal restructuring in order to achieve greater efficiency in pursuit of our strategic goals. As part of the restructuring, amongst other things, we eliminated a substantial number of positions as we re-evaluate our sales, marketing and manufacturing functions. Following the internal restructuring, as of December 31, 2024, we did not have any direct, full-time employees. Instead, we engaged a network of independent contractors, consultants, and other third-party service providers who perform various functions for our business, including sales, product development, and administrative support. Any decisions on advancing, reprioritizing or eliminating any of our products will be based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including our assessment of internal and external resources, the potential market for such products, the costs and complexities of manufacturing, the potential of competing products, as well as the likelihood of any challenges to our intellectual property, regardless of merit.
Previous report
Our business is subject to general economic and market conditions, including trade wars and tariffs.
Previous report
Our business is significantly affected by general economic and market conditions, including but not limited to global economic downturns, shifts in consumer demand, and fluctuations in capital markets. In addition, trade disputes, the imposition of tariffs, and other protectionist policies enacted by various governments have, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business operations. For instance, trade tensions and tariff measures may result in increased costs of raw materials, disruptions in our supply chain, and reduced demand for our products or services. In periods of economic uncertainty or during the escalation of trade conflicts, we may experience reduced access to credit markets, increased input costs, and diminished revenue as consumers and businesses cut back on spending.
Previous report
Any future intensification of these economic and political factors, or the imposition of additional tariffs and trade restrictions, could materially adversely affect our operating results, liquidity, and capital resources. While we continually assess and manage these risks through our strategic planning and operational adjustments, the inherent uncertainty associated with economic conditions and trade policies means that we cannot be certain of our ability to mitigate the adverse effects of these challenges.
Previous report
If disruptions in our transportation network continue to occur or our shipping costs continue to increase, we may be unable to sell or timely deliver our products, and our gross margin could decrease.
Previous report
A majority of our raw materials have historically been shipped via container from overseas vendors in China, such as Cenntro, which has historically been our largest supplier. Although we have reduced our reliance on offshore suppliers by primarily sourcing components for the Vanish from vendors in North America and Europe, our vendors may be reliant on offshore suppliers. We rely heavily on third parties, including ocean carriers and truckers, in that process. The global shipping industry has experienced a shortage of shipping capacity, trucking shortages, increased ocean shipping rates and increased trucking and fuel costs. As a result, our receipt of imported products has been, and may continue to be, disrupted or delayed.
Previous report
Currently and in the past, we have experienced business disruptions due to factors such as supply and demand imbalance, a shortage of warehouse workers, truck drivers, transport equipment (tractors and trailers) and other causes, which have resulted in heightened congestion, bottlenecks and gridlock, leading to abnormally high transportation delays. This has materially and adversely affected our business and financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and could continue to materially and adversely affect our business and financial results throughout 2025. If significant disruptions along these lines continue, this could lead to further significant disruptions in our business, delays in shipments to us and our vendors, and revenue and profitability shortfalls, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Previous report
The global shipping industry has experienced and continues to experience unprecedented increases in shipping rates from the trans-Pacific ocean carriers due to various factors, including limited availability of shipping capacity. We may find it necessary to rely on an increasingly expensive spot market and other alternative sources to make up any shortfall in shipping needs. Additionally, if increases in fuel prices occur, our transportation costs would likely further increase. Similarly, supply chain disruptions such as those described in the preceding paragraphs may lead to an increase in transportation costs. Such cost increases have adversely affected our business and could have additional adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Previous report
Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and prospects difficult and may increase the risk of any investment in our securities.
Previous report
Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and prospects difficult and may increase the risk of investment. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future, which makes it difficult to predict our future operating results. Any substantial adjustment to overhead expenses to account for lower levels of sales is difficult and takes time, thus we may not be able to reduce our costs sufficiently to compensate for a shortfall in net sales, and even a small shortfall in net sales could disproportionately and adversely affect our operating margin and operating results for a given period.
Previous report
Our operating results may also fluctuate due to a variety of other factors, many of which are outside our control, including the changing and volatile local, national, and international economic environments. In addition to the other risks in this “Risk Factors” section, factors that may affect our operations include:
Previous report
Each of these factors individually, or the cumulative effect of two or more of these factors, could result in large fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and our operating results for any given period may fall below expectations or our guidance. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of future performance.
Previous report
If we are unable to effectively implement or manage our growth strategy, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Previous report
Our ability to generate and grow revenue will depend, in part, on our ability to execute our business plan, expand our business model and develop new products in a timely manner. As part of our growth strategy, we may modify our distribution channels, engage in strategic transactions with third parties to access additional sales and distribution channels, accelerate product adoption for particular vertical markets, open new manufacturing, research or engineering facilities or expand our existing facilities. We also plan to add additional product lines and expand our businesses into new geographical markets. There is a range of risks inherent in such a strategy that could adversely affect our ability to successfully achieve these objectives, including, but not limited to, the following:
Previous report
Any one of these factors could impair our growth strategy, result in delays, increased costs or decreases in the amount of expected revenues derived from our growth strategy and could adversely impact our prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.
Previous report
Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in the internal combustion engine may have a materially adverse effect on the demand for our electric vehicles.
Previous report
Significant developments related to ethanol or compressed natural gas, or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine or hybrids may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. For example, types of fuel that are abundant and relatively inexpensive in North America, such as compressed natural gas, may emerge as consumers’ preferred alternative to petroleum-based propulsion. If alternative energy engines or low gasoline prices make existing four-wheeled vehicles with greater passenger and cargo capacities less expensive to operate, we may not be able to compete with manufacturers of such vehicles. Furthermore, given the rapidly changing nature of the electric vehicle market, there can be no assurance that our vehicles and technology will not be rendered obsolete by alternative or competing technologies. Any material change in the existing technologies may cause delays in our development and introduction of new or upgraded vehicles, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our vehicles, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors.
Previous report
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in these industries. We currently face competition from new and established domestic and international competitors and expect to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technology.
Previous report
We face significant competition, and there is no assurance that our vehicles will be successful in the respective markets in which they compete. The worldwide vehicle market, particularly for alternative fuel vehicles, is highly competitive today and we expect it will become even more so in the future. Established automobile manufacturers such as General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Tesla and Toyota, as well as other newer companies such as Arcimoto and Electrameccanica, have entered or are reported to have plans to enter the alternative fuel vehicle market, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles. In some cases, such competitors have announced an intention to now or at some point in the future produce electric vehicles exclusively.
Previous report
As the LSEV market grows increasingly saturated, we expect to experience significant competition. The most competitive companies in the global LSEV market include HDK Electric Vehicles, Bradshaw Electric Vehicles, Textron Inc., Polaris Industries, Yamaha Motors Co. Ltd., Ingersoll Rand, Inc., Speedway Electric, AGT Electric Cars, Bintelli Electric Vehicles and Ligier Group. Many of our existing or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than us, and significantly greater experience in manufacturing, designing and selling electric vehicles, as well as in clearing regulatory requirements for those vehicles in the United States and in foreign countries. Many of our current and potential future competitors also have significantly more experience designing, building and selling electric vehicles at the commercial, or fleet, scale. Large automobile or equipment manufacturers with greater purchasing power allow them to acquire raw materials at a much lower cost. Additionally, the large traditional manufacturer has more ready access to efficient design, testing and service facilities. We do not have the company history, facilities or capital to properly compete with large traditional manufacturers should they decide to enter our market. Mergers and acquisitions in the electric vehicle market could result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors.
Previous report
Increased competition could result in lower vehicle unit sales, price reductions, revenue shortfalls, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, industry overcapacity has resulted in many manufacturers offering marketing incentives on vehicles in an attempt to maintain and grow market share. These incentives historically have included a combination of subsidized financing or leasing programs, price rebates, and other incentives. As a result, we are not necessarily able to set our prices to offset higher costs. Continuation of or increased excess capacity could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology, attractive feature sets, new products and development of longer-life power packs may make it more difficult for us to sell our vehicles and earn design wins which could create increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses, or the loss of market share or expected market share, any of which may significantly harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Previous report
Our future growth depends on customers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles.
Previous report
If there is lower market demand for our electric vehicles than we expect in the target markets, which include universities, food delivery services, last mile delivery service, municipalities and on-road and personal transportation, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be negatively impacted. Potential customers may be reluctant to adopt electric vehicles as an alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles or other electric vehicles due to various factors, which include but are not limited to:
Previous report
Any of the above factors may hinder widespread adoption of electric vehicles and influence prospective customers and dealers to decide not to purchase our electric vehicles. Such issues would have an adverse material effect on our consolidated financial statements of operations, financial conditions, ability to develop strategic partnerships and ability to raise additional funding.
Previous report
We may experience lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of our current models and the vehicles in development.
Previous report
Our projected growth depends upon the end-consumers’ mass adoption of our purpose-built electric vehicles. Although we have conducted some market research regarding our electric vehicles we currently sell or are developing, many factors both within and outside our control affect the success of our vehicles in the marketplace. At this time, it is difficult to measure consumers’ willingness to adopt purpose-built electric vehicles, particularly two-passenger electric vehicles. Offering fuel-efficient vehicles that consumers want and value can mitigate the risks of increasing price competition and declining demand, but vehicles that are perceived to be less desirable (whether in terms of price, quality, styling, safety, overall value, or other attributes) can exacerbate these risks. For example, if a new vehicle encountered quality issues at the time of launch, the vehicle’s perceived quality could be affected even after the issues had been corrected, resulting in lower than anticipated sales volumes, market share, and profitability. Moreover, if a new vehicle is not accepted by consumers based on size, styling, or other attributes, we would experience lower than anticipated sales volumes, market share, and profitability. If our vehicles are not adopted or there is a reduction in demand for our products caused by a lack of customer acceptance, a slowdown in demand for electronic transportation solutions, battery safety concerns, technological challenges, battery life issues, competing technologies and products, decreases in discretionary spending, weakening economic conditions, or otherwise, the reduction in demand could result in reduced customer orders, early order cancellations, the loss of customers, or decreased sales, any of which would adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we are unable to manage our growth and expand our operations successfully, our business and operating results will be harmed, and our reputation may be damaged.

We have been expanding our operations significantly since our inception and anticipate that further significant expansion will be required to achieve our business objectives. The growth and expansion of our business and product offerings places a continuous and significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. Any such future growth would also add complexity to and require effective coordination throughout our organization. Our future operating results depend to a large extent on our ability to manage this expansion and growth successfully. Risks that we face in undertaking this expansion include:
Previous report
In this regard, we will be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting procedures, and we may not be able to successfully implement improvements to these systems and processes in a timely or efficient manner, which could result in additional operating inefficiencies and could cause our costs to increase more than planned. If we do increase our operating expenses in anticipation of the growth of our business and this growth does not meet our expectations, our operating results and gross margin will be negatively impacted. If we are unable to manage future expansion, our ability to provide high quality products could be harmed, damage our reputation and brand, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Previous wording
We have never been profitable or generated positive cash flow from our operations. We have incurred a net loss each year since our inception in 2016 and have generated limited revenues since inception, principally as a result of our investments in building infrastructure in support of our manufacturing and business operations and plans for growth. We incurred net loss of approximately $1.8 million and net loss of $34.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $117 million. We may incur significant additional losses as we continue to focus our resources on scaling up our operations for growth and incur significant future expenditures for research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, capital expenses and working capital fluctuations.

We have incurred a net loss each year since our inception in 2016 and have generated limited revenues since inception, principally as a result of our investments in building infrastructure in support of our manufacturing and business operations and plans for growth. We incurred net loss of approximately $21.8 million and net loss of $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $139 million.

Previous wording
We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, technical, finance and sales and marketing personnel. We have only one line of business and are highly dependent upon the continued service of our key executive officers and other employees. The loss of and failure to replace key management and personnel could have a serious adverse effect on sales bookings, strategic relationships, manufacturing operations, order fulfilment and customer service, and may adversely impact the achievement of our objectives. Despite our efforts to retain valuable employees, members of our management may terminate their employment with us at any time. Although we have written employment agreements with our executive officers, these employment agreements do not bind these executives for any specific term and allow executive officers to leave at any time, for any reason, with or without cause. We do not maintain any “key-man” insurance policies on any of the key employees nor do we intend to obtain such insurance.

Previous wording
Recruiting and retaining qualified employees, consultants, and advisors for our business, including sales or technical personnel, is crucial to continue to execute our growth strategy. Because the pool of qualified personnel with engineering or manufacturing experience and/or experience working in the electric vehicle market is limited overall, recruitment and retention of senior management and skilled technical, sales and other personnel is very competitive. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than us. We are also at a disadvantage in recruiting and retaining key personnel, as our small size and limited resources may be viewed as providing a less stable environment with fewer opportunities than would be offered at one of our larger competitors. As a result, we may not be successful in either attracting or retaining such personnel and/or on acceptable terms given the competition and may be required to increase the level of compensation paid to existing and new employees, which could materially increase our operating expenses. In addition, failure to succeed in the expansion of our operations may make it more challenging to recruit and retain qualified personnel.

Previous wording
The design, manufacture, sale and servicing of vehicles is a capital-intensive business, and we may need to raise additional funds to expand our operations and reach vehicle production goals. If our cash on hand and our sales revenue are not sufficient to cover our cash requirements, we will need to raise additional capital, whether through the sale of equity or debt securities, the entry into strategic business collaborations, the establishment of other funding facilities, licensing arrangements, or asset sales or other means, in order to support our business plan. In addition, we may need to raise additional capital for strategic acquisitions or transactions. Such additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
Current wording
Although our going concern uncertainty was alleviated during 2025 due to financing activities, we have historically incurred net losses and may continue to incur losses in future periods, particularly if the value of our investment portfolio declines or if operating expenses exceed investment returns. .

Our ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our business plan is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, performance of our vehicles, market demand for our vehicles and investor acceptance of our business plan. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail, delay or eliminate our development activities and growth plans, and/or be forced to sell some or all assets, perhaps on unfavorable terms, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate, in which event it is unlikely that stockholders would receive any distribution on their shares. Further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations to stay in business.

As part of our business strategy, we may make acquisitions as opportunities arise to add new or complementary businesses, products, brands or technologies. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions may be substantial, including as a result of professional fees and due diligence efforts. There is no assurance that the time and resources expended on pursuing a particular acquisition will result in a completed transaction, or that any completed transaction will ultimately be successful. In addition, we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities or may be unable to obtain any required financing or regulatory approvals, and therefore may be unable to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms, if at all. We may decide to pursue acquisitions with which our investors may not agree, and we cannot assure investors that any acquisition or investment will be successful or otherwise provide a favorable return on investment. In addition, acquisitions and the integration thereof require significant time and resources and place significant demands on our management, as well as on our operational and financial infrastructure. In addition, if we fail to successfully close transactions or integrate new teams, or integrate the products and technologies associated with these acquisitions into our company, our business could be seriously harmed. Acquisitions may expose us to operational challenges and risks, including:
