Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
FiEE, Inc. (formerly, Minim, Inc.) was founded in 1977 as a networking company and pivoted into delivering intelligent software to protect and improve the WiFi connections we depend on to work, learn, and live. FiEE held the exclusive global license to design, manufacture, and sell consumer networking products under the Motorola brand until 2023. Our cable and WiFi products, with an intelligent operating system and bundled mobile app, were sold in leading retailers and e-commerce channels in the United States (“U.S.”). Our AI-driven cloud software platform and applications make network management and security simple for home and business users, as well as the service providers that assist them—leading to higher customer satisfaction and decreased support burden.
On February 27, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to change the name of the Company from Minim, Inc. to FiEE, Inc., effective as of February 27, 2025.
FiEE, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries—FiEE (HK) Limited (incorporated in March 2025), Houren-Geiju Kabushikikaisha (acquired in November 2025), MTRLC LLC, and Minim Asia Private Limited—are herein collectively referred to as “FiEE” or the “Company.”
We continue to grow and expand our operations as a digital service provider focused on integrating AI and data analytics into content creation and brand management. We offer a range of SaaS solutions through a cloud-based platform designed to support our clients in developing, managing, and optimizing their digital presence across global platforms, including customized graphic and posts, short videos, and editorial calendars aligned with brand goals. Additionally, we offer comprehensive software development and maintenance services, delivering custom software solutions from system design and development to deployment and post-launch maintenance.
On November 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Houren-Geiju Kabushikikaisha (“HGK”), a Japanese technology company specializing in digital authentication services for artworks, leveraging AI and blockchain technology to provide artwork authentication, certification, and display services for individual and corporate clients. This acquisition introduces AI image recognition and blockchain authentication technologies to the Company’s service portfolio, further bolstering our technological capabilities and optimizing our comprehensive brand management solutions for customers.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of FiEE Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These judgments, estimates and assumptions made by the Company include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, expected credit losses; contract liabilities; valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; fair value of acquired assets; valuation of warrants and stock-based compensation. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions and the differences may be material.
Liquidity
The Company’s operations have historically been financed through the issuance of common stock and preferred stock. Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company began generating operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a net income of $1.1 million, a positive working capital of $2.4 million and an increase in cash of $3.1 million. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to $3.6 million of cash provided by operating activities and $4.3 million of cash provided by financing activities, partially offset by $4.9 million of cash used in investing activities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $95.6 million and a cash of $3.1 million. Although the Company generated net income, a positive working capital and operating cash flows during 2025 following changes in management and business strategy, the Company has incurred significant losses in prior years and has a limited operating history of profitability. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company will strengthen its liquidity and expand its access to capital through public offering of common stock and related private placements.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and is therefore unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on its consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment.
(2)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Functional Currency
The functional currency of FiEE (HK) Limited is the Hong Kong dollar (HKD). The functional currency of HGK (Japanese entity) is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Foreign currency transactions are translated into their respective functional currencies using exchange rates at the transaction dates, while monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at period-end rates. The functional currency of all other entities of the Company is U.S. Dollar (USD), the same as the reporting currency.
Assets and liabilities of the Company denominated in functional currency other than USD are translated into USD at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in the current period are translated into USD at the appropriate historical rates. The results of operations and the statements of cash flows denominated in functional currency other than USD are translated into USD at the average exchange rates during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company hadno cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions located in the U.S., and Japan, as well as in Hong Kong with a non-bank payment service provider used to facilitate international payment transactions. Cash balances held in financial institutions in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits, while balances held in other jurisdictions may be subject to different regulatory protections. In addition, balances held with the non-bank payment service provider are not insured by the FDIC or similar government agencies. The Company has not experienced any credit losses on its cash account through December 31, 2025 and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk with respect to these balances.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoice value, net of any allowance for credit losses. The Company’s accounts receivable were $2,110,715 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2025 consisted primarily of trade receivables acquired in connection with the purchase of HGK, and trade receivables from software services provided during the year.
The allowance for credit losses is estimated using a forward-looking expected credit loss model that considers available information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Given that all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 were originated during 2025 following the Company’s business transformation, limited historical payment data is available. The Company assesses credit risk based on the age of receivables, customer creditworthiness, estimated future economic conditions and their impact on the customer’s financial capabilities.
Based on management’s assessment, and ongoing collection efforts, the Company believes that all outstanding receivables are fully collectible in 2026. No allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2025. The amount received in subsequent period is $613 thousand before the consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company will continue to monitor the aging of receivables and customer payment patterns and will establish an allowance if future conditions indicate that expected credit losses may occur.
Deferred Offering Costs
Offering costs directly attributable to a potential private offering of equity securities are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5.A – Expenses of Offering. The Company’s offering costs primarily consist of commitment fees incurred through the balance sheet date, which have been deferred and recorded as a non-current asset, as the offering had not been completed as of the reporting date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $150,000 in deferred offering costs related to the Helena Purchase Agreement (see Note 12), which were included in other assets. Upon successful completion of the private offering, such costs will be charged against the proceeds and recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. If the offering is ultimately unsuccessful or abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed in the period in which the offering is terminated.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software primarily consisted of equipment, vehicles, and internal-use software customized by a vendor, which are stated at cost, and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant improvements that substantially enhance the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost together with related accumulated depreciation is removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s statements of operations in the period realized. Costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized only during the application development stage.
| Schedule of property, equipment and software useful life | |
|---|---|
| Category | Estimated useful life |
| Internal use software | 3 years |
| Equipment | 3-5 years |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consisted of acquired group of proprietary software, which are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of the Company’s intangible assets is 3 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, equipment, software, and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Assets Acquisition
The Company evaluates acquisitions of entities or assets to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If this screen criterion is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. The Company measures and recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets, which includes transaction costs. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. Any consideration in excess of net assets acquired is allocated to acquired nonfinancial assets on a relative fair value basis.
Fair Market Value
The Company complies with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes consisted of current income taxes and deferred income taxes.
Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities and calculated using tax rates that have been enacted as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred income taxes are provided using assets and liabilities method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the management consider all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of projected future taxable income and results of recent operation. Deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance through a charge to income tax expense when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of the benefit to be recognized. An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination based solely on the technical merits of the position assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information. The amount of the benefits that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Company didnot recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company accounts for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in accordance with ASC 740. The Company has elected to account for the tax effects of GILTI as a period cost when incurred rather than recognizing deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future periods. Accordingly, GILTI tax expense is recognized in the period in which the related income is included in the U.S. taxable income.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the adoption primary affects the Company’s income tax disclosures (see Note 13).
Operating and Finance Leases
The Company has operating leases primarily for office space. The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease is made at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use (“ROU”) an identified asset and whether the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from and has the ability to direct the use of the asset. The Company does not have any finance leases.
Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets in the line items cited above. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of one year or less on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease obligations and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. As the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, the Company utilizes the materially approximate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Segment reporting
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM is operating income. The Company’s primary operations were historically in the U.S., and prior to the end of 2024, it derived substantially all of its revenue from sales to customers in the U.S. Beginning in March 2025, following the expansion of its operations in Hong Kong, the Company has derived all its revenues from Hong Kong. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no significant long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s long-lived assets are mainly located in U.S. and Hong Kong.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose significant segment expenses impacting profit and loss that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The update is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods presented, based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 for public entities. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in this measure consist of cost of revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses. These expenses are consistent with the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of operations. There are no other segment items as there are no significant assets or operations not regularly reviewed by the CODM.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories and certain other disclosures to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact related to the new standard.
(3) REVENUE AND OTHER CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, including: (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract or agreement; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company applies the five-step model to contracts only when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Revenues from SaaS service before the end of 2024
Revenue recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated to the SaaS offering was recognized ratably beginning when the customer was expected to activate their account and over a three-year period that the Company estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.
Revenues from SaaS service- MCN Digital Service in 2025
The Company expands SaaS operations as a digital service provider, delivering full-cycle services to brand clients through legally binding agreements since March 2025. The Company offers full-service account management, content production, and targeted promotion to grow followers across key platforms. Service packages customizable via the SaaS portal. Customers may purchase value-added services with or after their purchases of basic package. The Company’s services comprise two distinct performance obligations: (1) the basic service, which represents a single performance obligation as the promises for account setup, SaaS platform access, account management, and basic digital content creation and publishing are highly interdependent and bundled together; and (2) the value-added services, which represents a performance obligation for additional digital content created and customized to meet the customer’s special request. Each with a standalone transaction price. The Company recognizes revenues from basic services ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract. The revenues from value-added services are recognized at a point in time when customers approve or accept the value-added services or system automatically approves whichever is later. The Company requires an upfront payment for the services, which is non-refundable upon execution of the contract. Customers retain the right to terminate the contract prior to its expiration date, subject to the early termination fees, including information transfer fee and fan development fee.
Revenues from Software Service in 2025
The Company enters into bundled arrangements that typically include the sale of on-premise software licenses, customized modules, and maintenance and support (“M&S”) services. These arrangements are evaluated to determine whether the promises represent distinct performance obligations. The customized modules are highly interdependent and interrelated with the software license and are therefore combined with the license as a single performance obligation, while the M&S services are capable of being distinct and are accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The M&S services are provided free of charge for a specified contract period, typically encompassing the first year of service following software delivery.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”). The SSP for the combined software license and customized modules, and M&S services is determined using the adjusted market assessment approach, which considers market conditions, competitive pricing, the Company’s market position, expected profit margins, and cost structure. Contracts include retention fees that represent variable consideration, as their payment is contingent upon no major defects being identified within a specified period. These retention fees are excluded from the initial transaction price. The related revenue is recognized only when it’s probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Contracts for software licensing and M&S services generally include a renewal option for M&S services; however, the renewal option to acquire additional services is neither offered free of charge nor at a discount and accordingly does not represent a material right.
The Company provides assurance-type warranties to ensure that the delivered software complies with agreed-upon specifications. These warranties do not constitute a separate performance obligation as they cannot be purchased separately and do not provide a service beyond remedying defects to bring the software to the specified standard.
The Company’s contracts typically specify a payment schedule whereby payments from the customer are linked to the signing of the contract and the achievement of specific milestones. Contracts are generally fixed price, and the Company has elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between transfer of goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.
Revenue from the combined software license and customized modules is recognized over time as the Company fulfils its performance obligations by developing and enhancing the software assets throughout the project period. The Company recognizes revenue using the output method based on the measurements of the value of the services transferred to date in relation to total performance obligation promised. Revenue from maintenance and support services is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the M&S contract period. This recognition pattern reflects the continuous transfer of services to the customer, who simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of these services throughout the service period.
Revenues from Digital Authentication Service in 2025
The Company provides digital authentication services for artworks, leveraging AI and blockchain technology. Services include microstructure analysis, AI image comparison, authenticity determination, blockchain registration, and issuance of digital authentication reports. Service packages are offered in Standard and Expedited editions, with fees calculated based on the dimensions of the artwork and required to be fully paid in advance. The Company’s services comprise a single performance obligation, as the promised services are highly interdependent and integrated to deliver a conclusive authentication outcome. The transaction price is fixed at contract inception. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the final digital authentication report and blockchain certificate to the client, when the client obtains control of the completed authentication package.
- Remaining Performance Obligations*
The remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations consist of contract liabilities, in-transit orders with destination terms, and non-cancellable backlog. Non-cancellable backlog includes goods for which customer purchase orders have been accepted, that are scheduled or in the process of being scheduled for shipment, and that are not yet invoiced. Prior years’ performance obligations were all satisfied and recognized as revenue in the periods before the end of 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the remaining performance obligation related to MCN digital services purchased and paid for in advance by customers for basic and value-added packages amounted to $1,497,721, equalling the balance of contract liabilities. This amount is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months.
The remaining performance obligation for software service as of December 31, 2025 was $521,082, excluding retention fee. This amount relates to unsatisfied performance obligations for the combined software license and customized modules, which are expected to be recognized as revenue upon the completion and customer acceptance of specific milestones, predominantly within the next 3 months.
As of December 31, 2025, there was no remaining performance obligation for digital authentication services, as all services have been fully completed.
Contract Costs
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain sales commissions meet the requirements to be capitalized, and the Company amortizes these costs on a consistent basis with the pattern of transfer of the goods and services in the contract. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in other current and long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets if any.
The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. These costs include sales commissions on SaaS contracts with a contract period of one year or less as sales commissions on contract renewals are commensurate with those paid on the initial contract.
Contract Balances
The Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. The accounts receivable balances were $2,110,715 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit payment prior to revenue recognition, representing the Company’s obligation to transfer services in the future. Liabilities arise upon customer order placement. The Company did not have contract liabilities at December 31, 2024, while the ending balance at December 31, 2025 was $1,497,721.

(4)ASSET ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of assets from Yixuntong
On June 30, 2025, FiEE (HK) Limited (“FiEE HK”) entered into and simultaneously closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Hongyan Sun, Lin Lin, and Suzhou Yixuntong Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yixuntong”). Pursuant to the agreement, FiEE HK acquired a group of assets from Yixuntong with a total purchase price of $1.4 million in cash.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50 and SEC Regulation S-X Rule 11-01(d). In evaluating the transaction, the Company applied the initial screen test and concluded that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a group of proprietary software assets, including software source codes and related patents. The software copyrights and patents are used together to generate software service revenues and other potential SaaS-related revenues, and therefore, were considered a group of similar identifiable assets for purposes of the screen test. Accordingly, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business and was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the total purchase consideration allocated to the acquired assets on a relative fair value basis.
The fair value of the proprietary software was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. As a result, approximately $1.3 million of the total purchase consideration was allocated to proprietary software and recognized as an intangible asset, while approximately $0.1 million of the total purchase consideration was allocated to vehicles and computers. The fair value measurement was based on significant assumptions, including projected revenues and cash flows, discount rates, contributory asset charges, and the estimated useful life of the asset, etc. The proprietary software is being amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 3 years (see Note 5).
Acquisition of HGK
On November 30, 2025, FiEE, Inc. completed the acquisition of HGK through two simultaneously executed agreements: (i) a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests for $500,000, and (ii) a Technology Transfer Agreement to acquire all core technology assets, including software copyrights and patents, for $3,000,000. The aggregate purchase price was $3,500,000. The total acquisition cost, including transaction costs, amounted to $3,522,907.
In accordance with ASC 810-10-40-6, the two agreements were entered into in contemplation of one another and were essentially a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect. Accordingly, the Share Purchase Agreement and the Technology Transfer Agreement have been combined and accounted for as a single transaction for financial reporting purposes.
The Company evaluated the transaction in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805 and determined that the acquired set of assets and liabilities did not meet the definition of a business because it did not include a substantive process that, together with the acquired inputs, would significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. At the acquisition date, HGK had only one administrative employee and did not have an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform a substantive process. The seller possessed the underlying assets, technology, processes, and customer relationships prior to the acquisition and was not employed by the Company subsequent to the transaction. Accordingly, no substantive process was acquired, and the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The total purchase consideration of the transaction, which is comprised of the cash consideration and transaction costs, was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, as well as the technology-based intangible assets on a relative fair value basis, as follows:
| Schedule of asset acquisitions | |
|---|---|
| Cash consideration | $3,500,000 |
| Transaction costs | 22,907 |
| Total purchase consideration | $3,522,907 |
| Cash | $35,603 |

| Net assets acquired | $988,469 |
| Intangible assets acquired | 2,534,438 |
| Total costs of acquisition allocated | $3,522,907 |
The acquired intangible asset represents a group of proprietary software assets, including software copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property related to digital authentication services for artworks, which was amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 years (see Note 5).
The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using valuation techniques that incorporated significant unobservable inputs, including projected revenues, discount rates, and estimated useful lives, etc. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued liabilities, approximated their respective carrying amounts at the acquisition date due to their short-term nature.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Commitments
License agreement and settlement with Motorola
The Company was a party to a license agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive license to use certain trademarks owned by Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC for the manufacture, sale and marketing of consumer cable modem products, consumer routers, WiFi range extenders, MoCa adapters, cellular sensors, home powerline network adapters, and access points worldwide through a wide range of authorized sales channels. The license agreement had a term ending December 31, 2025 prior to its cancellation in 2023.
In connection with the license agreement, the Company had committed to reserve a certain percentage of wholesale prices for use in advertising, merchandising and promotion of the related products. Additionally, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments equal to a certain percentage of the preceding quarter’s revenues with minimum annual royalty payments. Following the Company’s agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC on January 22, 2024, as mentioned below. The Company’s quarterly royalty payments, in addition to current and future obligations, were satisfied in exchange for certain assets of the Company.
The Company did not incur royalty expenses under the License Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
On January 22, 2024, the Company, entered into a Letter Agreement re Product Purchase (the “Letter Agreement”) and a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement,” and the Letter Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Motorola Mobility, LLC (“Motorola”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company (A) initially transferred a portion of its inventory to Motorola and (B) agreed to transfer the reminder of such inventory upon receipt of certain funding in order to satisfy liabilities owed to Motorola, while agreeing to continue to provide certain customer and technical support. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed (i) to pay Motorola a settlement amount of $1,167,071 and (ii) to transfer additional funds as collected from the Company’s customers in an amount up to $263,752. The Company believes that the Agreements, together with arrangements it has finalized with other major vendors, will allow the Company to streamline its operations while reducing its current liabilities.
Property purchase agreement in Japan
In December 2025, HGK entered into a property purchase agreement with a third-party seller to acquire a property located in Osaka, Japan, for a total purchase price of JPY87,000,000 (approximately $0.5 million).

(c) Contingencies
Vendor Obligation Releases
In its efforts to manage its liquidity and cash-flow position, the Company negotiated and executed liability release agreements with certain vendors in the fourth quarter of 2023 who comprised $5.0 million of outstanding accounts payable as of December 31, 2023. In aggregate, the executed release agreements resulted in a reduction of outstanding accounts payable obligations by $3.6 million from $5.0 million to $1.4 million. The executed release agreements became effective and are contingent upon payment of the $1.4 million negotiated amounts received during the period of the first quarter of 2024. In addition, the Company agreed to pay certain vendors an additional $0.4 million contingent upon successful collection of customer receivables. After the collection of customer receivables, the contingent amount was amended to $0.3 million during the period ended June 30, 2024. In July 2024, the Company paid the contingent amount of $0.3 million to its vendors.
Contingencies on potential lawsuits
The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.
The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If both criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses - that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. At December 31, 2025, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent, and that the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Uncertainty on the business operations
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s operations depended in part on the continued service of its senior management, whose relationships with artists support the expansion and development of the Company’s primary customer base. The loss of key management or technical personnel could adversely affect the Company’s ability to maintain these relationships and develop its technology-driven services.
(8) SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER AND DEPENDENCY ON KEY SUPPLIERS
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had one customer, with outstanding accounts receivable balance that accounted for around 75% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. Most of this accounts receivable was acquired through the Company’s acquisition of its Japanese subsidiary, HGK, on November 30, 2025, and contributed 1% to the Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. Other than this customer, the Company did not have sales or outstanding accounts receivable balance that accounted for 10% or greater individually of the Company’s total revenues and accounts receivable, respectively. The Company’s primary customers for the year ended December 31, 2025 are artists.
(9) CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
The Company entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) effective February, 18, 2025, with David Lazar, a stockholder holding more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares and a former officer and director. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lazar a principal amount of $300,000, bearing interest at an annual rate of approximately 4.34%, with the full principal and interest balance due on or before December 31, 2025. Upon stockholders’ approval, the Convertible Note will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.
The Convertible Note to related party is accounted for as a single liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.
On October 27, 2025, at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders approved the conversion of the Convertible Note. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, it automatically converted into 1,235,814 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the Convertible Note had no outstanding balance.
(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company had the following related party transactions during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

| ● | Equity transactions with stockholders. See Note 12 for details. |
(11) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because it has the right to participate in dividends with common shareholders on an as-converted basis. Accordingly, the Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between common shareholders and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Net losses are not allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock, as holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities include convertible preferred stock, warrants, and restricted shares. Warrants and restricted shares are included in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. For convertible preferred stock that is a participating security, diluted EPS is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method in accordance with ASC 260. Under the two-class method, the numerator used in diluted EPS is consistent with that used in basic EPS. Potential common shares are included only to the extent they are dilutive, and anti-dilutive securities are excluded.
Earnings (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are as follows:
| Schedule of net income (loss) per share | ||
|---|---|---|
| Years ended December 31, | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Basic earnings per common share: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $1,072,434 | $(4,224,278) |
| Less: Preferred stock dividend declared | - | - |
| Income (loss) available for distribution | 1,072,434 | $(4,224,278) |
| Less: Income allocated to participating securities | (391,125) | - |
| Net income (loss) available to common stockholders | $681,309 | (4,224,278) |
| Weighted average basic shares outstanding | 5,622,077 | 3,159,061 |
| Basic earnings (loss) per common share | $0.12 | $(1.34) |
| Diluted earnings per common share: | ||
| Net income (loss) available to common stockholders | $681,309 | $(4,224,278) |
| Weighted average basic shares outstanding | $5,622,077 | 3,159,061 |
| Dilutive effect related to warrants | 1,370,399 | - |
| Dilutive effect related to restricted stocks with service conditions | 88,157 | - |
| Weighted average diluted shares outstanding | $7,080,633 | 3,159,061 |
| Diluted earnings (loss) per common share | $0.10 | $(1.34) |
Diluted loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 excludes the effects of 3,227,500 and 5,536,126 common share equivalents respectively, since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The common share equivalents consist of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding Series A preferred stock, warrants, and restricted shares with a service condition.
(12) EQUITY
Preferred Stock and Warrants
On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with David Lazar (“Lazar”), a member of our Board of Directors, whereby, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company sold and Lazar (or to any transferee of Lazar’s which acquires the Securities Purchase Rights, as defined below, hereinafter a “Lazar Transferee”) purchased 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $1.40, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,800,000, subject to the conditions described below, pursuant to the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act and Regulation S thereunder. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to designate 2,000,000 of the Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for the sale to Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into 1.4 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and vote on an “as-if-converted” basis and shall have full ratchet protection in any subsequent offerings. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall also issue Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee) warrants to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrants,” and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Purchased Securities”).
The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Warrants met the definition of liability instruments.
The Warrants are classified as component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined the fair value of the Warrants to purchase 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.7 million. The key inputs to the valuation model included a weighted average volatility of 162.0% and an expected term of 3.0 years.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Warrants as compared to the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Warrants incorporates assumptions regarding our common stock price, dividend yield, stock price volatility, as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. Using this model, the Warrants was valued at $1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in additional paid in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined based on assumptions that incorporated our common stock price and dividend rate. The Company valued the Series A Preferred Stock at $4.5 million. Based on the fair value model to allocate the Series A Preferred Stock proceeds, the Series A Preferred Stock was valued at $1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in Series A Preferred Stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On February 26, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, who voted and approved (i) the issuance of shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants to be issued at Closing of the Purchase Agreement, which conversions or exercise would result in a “change of control” of the Company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Existing Charter”) to effect the increase in authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000. Except for stock dividends or distributions for which adjustments are to be made pursuant to the Existing Charter, Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis, without regard to conversion limitations herein) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
On February 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 18, 2025 SPA”) with David Lazar (“Seller”), and Cao Yu, Hu Bin, and Youxin Consulting Limited (collectively, the “Purchasers”), which was subsequently amended on May 9, 2025. Pursuant to the February 18, 2025 SPA and its amendment, Seller, a former director and officer of the Company, sold to the Purchasers (i) 2,219,447 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Warrant”), and (iii) certain receivables owed by the Company to Seller associated with the transaction (the “Lazar Receivables”). On April 10, 2025, Seller transferred an additional 31,258 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Purchasers (together with the previously transferred shares and the Warrant, the “Securities”). The aggregate purchase price for the Securities and the Lazar Receivables was $500,000, of which $300,000 was directed by Seller to be paid to the Company in exchange for a convertible note (see Note 9). The Purchasers also paid a $3.4 million earn-out payment to Seller for his efforts related to the Company’s successful relisting on Nasdaq as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Lazar Receivables were forgiven for the benefit of the Company, and the Warrant was amended and restated to eliminate the beneficial ownership limitations previously contained therein.
Securities Purchase Agreements
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into, and simultaneously closed the transactions under, Securities Purchase Agreements with Cao Yu and Hu Bin, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 2,439,025 shares of its common stock—1,585,366 shares to Cao Yu for a purchase price of $2,600,000 and 853,659 shares to Hu Bin for a purchase price of $1,400,000.
Helena Purchase Agreement
On May 9, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Helena Purchase Agreement”) with Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. (“Helena”) whereby the Company shall have the right to issue and sell to Helena, from time to time, and Helena shall purchase from the Company, up to $15,000,000 of Common Stock, during the period commencing on May 9, 2025 and ending on the first day of the month immediately following the 36-month anniversary of May 9, 2025.
The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Common Stock related to each Advance (each, a “Closing”) shall take place on the applicable Settlement Date (as defined in the Helena Purchase Agreement), at a Purchase Price (as defined in the Helena Purchase Agreement) based on 95% of the lowest VWAP for the Common Stock, in respect of any Advance, during the three (3) trading days commencing on the date of Helena’s receipt of the shares of Common Stock relating to such Advance.
In consideration for Helena’s execution and delivery of the Helena Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Helena, as a commitment fee, shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”), having an aggregate value of $150,000, of which (i) 71,572 shares were issued on May 14, 2025, and (ii) 71,572 shares were issued on August 11, 2025. The Commitment Fee Shares were fully earned as of the agreement date, and the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares was not contingent upon any other event or condition. The number of the Commitment Fee Shares issued in each tranche was determined by dividing $75,000 by the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the agreement date.
July 2025 Warrant
On July 2, 2025, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 404,002 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to stockholder approval (the “July 2025 Warrant”), to David Lazar. This warrant was issued as compensation for services provided by David Lazar.
In accordance with the accounting requirements of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” and ASC 505-50, “Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees,” the Company measured this equity instrument at fair value and recognized the compensation cost immediately on the grant date. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with key inputs including a fair value of the underlying common stock of $2.67, an exercise price of $0.01 per share, an expected term of 0.405 years, a risk-free interest rate of 4.33%, expected volatility of 90%, and a dividend yield of 0%, the fair value of this warrant was determined to be $1,074,715.55 as of July 2, 2025. On the grant date, the Company recognized the compensation expense with a corresponding credit to APIC.
On November 12, 2025, David Lazar exercised the warrant through a cashless exercise mechanism. Pursuant to the cashless exercise, 402,347 shares of common stock were issued. The warrant was fully settled upon this exercise and no longer remains outstanding.
Stock-Based Compensation
On April 29, 2025, the Company entered into Director Agreements with two independent directors, pursuant to which each director is entitled to receive 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, provided they remain a director for one year from the effective date of the Director Agreements. The grant date for these equity awards was April 29, 2025, with a one-year service period ending on April 29, 2026.
Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $122,667 of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards, representing the portion of the service period completed during 2025.

The Company is subject to taxation in certain foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax.
Entity incorporated in Hong Kong is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax at a rate of 8.25% on the first HKD 2 million of assessable profits and at 16.5% thereon. There are no withholding taxes on the payment of dividends by entities incorporated in Hong Kong to their stockholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $448,204, consisting primarily of current Hong Kong Profits Tax of $698,799 attributable to the profitable operations of the Hong Kong subsidiary, net of an income tax benefit of $250,595 for the net operating loss incurred by the Japan subsidiary in December 2025. No income tax provision has been made for the U.S. corporation due to the net operating losses carryover, and no income tax benefit related to the net operating losses is recognized, as a full valuation allowance is established for the U.S. corporation.
As of December 31, 2025, the balance of income tax payable of the Company was approximately $1.0 million, of which $0.5 million was related to the acquisition of HKG (see Note 4).
The Company paid nil for income taxes for each of the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately 68.2 million, which are available to offset future taxable income. These NOL carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2026 through 2045. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as management has determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits associated with these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The valuation allowance changed by $276,622 during the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the expiration of certain net operating loss carryforwards, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards against taxable income generated during the year, and an increase in deferred tax assets related to share-based compensation recognized during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the change in valuation allowance was primarily attributable to net operating losses incurred during the year and the expiration of certain net operating loss carryforwards.
