Our future success will depend in part on the
continued service of key personnel, particularly, Desheng Wang, our Chief Executive Officer,Officer and EdwardIrving Lee, the Chairman ofKau, our Board.Chief Financial Officer.
We outsource the manufacturing of key elements
of our quantum light meters and air filters to a single manufacturing partner, with whom we do not have a formal contractual relationship.
We outsource the manufacture of our quantum light
meter and air filtration devices to a single contract manufacturer, Tianjin Guanglee Technologies Ltd. (“Tianjin Guanglee”).
If Tianjin Guanglee’s operations are interrupted or if Tianjin Guanglee is unable to meet our delivery requirements due to capacity
limitations or other constraints, we may be limited in our ability to fulfill new customer orders, and we may be required to seek new
manufacturing partners in the future. Tianjin Guanglee has limited manufacturing capacity, is itself dependent upon third-party suppliers
and is dependent on trained technical labor to effectively create components making up our devices or to repair special tooling. In addition,
as of the date of this report, we do not have a formal development and manufacturing agreement that regulates our business relationship
with Tianjin Guanglee. Although we continue to operate under the terms of an oral agreement, and we believe there are a multitude of manufacturers
that could quickly replace Tianjin Guanglee, our manufacturing operations could be adversely impacted if we are unable to enforce Tianjin
Guanglee’s performance.
Our potential inability to adequately protect
our intellectual property during the outsource manufacturing of our quantum light meters and filtrationn products in China could negatively
impact our performance.
Our air filtration business segment could
experience price fluctuations in raw materials, availability problems, and volatile demand.
The principal raw materials that we use are filter
media, activated charcoal, perforated metal sheet, and certain other petroleum-based products, like plastics, rubber, and adhesives. Our
cost of filter media can experience price fluctuations. Larger competitors can enter selective supply arrangements with major suppliers
that reduce medium-to-long-term volatility in costs. We cannot guarantee purchases in the volume that justifies such selective supply
arrangements. Thus, we could be subject to price volatility.
We currently source products from manufacturers
in China, including digital, analog, and quantum light meters, filtration productsmeters and certain components for our Ubiquitor device. Currently,
the prices we
offer to Hydrofarmour U.S. customers are FOB (Free on Board) China. Only the cost of delivering the goods to the nearest port is included
and Hydrofarmthe
customer is responsible for the shipping from China and responsible for all other fees, including tariffs, associated with delivering
the goods to the ultimate destination. If Hydrofarmour customers changes the term to CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) United States, then we
would would
be responsible for the shipping costs and the tariff costs, which may reduce our gross margin, specially now that new tariffs may
be imposed
on goods imported from China. Thus, we may incur increases in costs due to changes in tariffs, import or export restrictions,
other trade
barriers, or unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, any of which could reduce our gross margins. Moreover, volatile
economic conditions
may impact the ability of our suppliers to make timely deliveries; and if a supplier fails to make a delivery, there
is no guarantee that
we will be able to timely locate an alternative supplier of comparable quality at an acceptable price.
The production, marketing and sale of digital
products have inherent risks of liability in the event of product failure or claim of harm caused by product operation. Furthermore, even
meritless claims of product liability may be costly to defend against. We do not currently have product liability insurance for our products.
We may not be able to obtain this insurance on acceptable terms or at all. Because we may not be able to obtain insurance that provides
us with adequate protection against all or even some potential product liability claims, a successful claim against us could materially
deplete our assets. Moreover, even if we can obtain adequate insurance, any claim against us could generate negative publicity, which
could impair our reputation and adversely affect the demand for our products, our ability to generate sales and our profitability. For
the products we sell throughin Hydrofarm,the U.S., we also do not carry product liability insurance. It is our management’s position that these handheld
handheld battery-operated products do not carry substantial product liability risk and to the extent there are any product liability risks, such
such risks are born by Hydrofarm,the distributor, who does carry product liability insurance coverage for the products we provide to them, and they sell
to their customers. However, it is possible that we could face liability in a products liability lawsuit for manufacturing defects or
defective design since we design or manufacture the products sold by Hydrofarm.certain U.S. distributors.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability
risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, and sale of our products. If there are claims related to defective products (under
warranty or otherwise), particularly in a product recall situation, we could be faced with significant expenses in replacing or repairing
the product. For example, our filtration products or Ubiquitor devices obtain raw materials, machined parts and other product components
from suppliers who provide
certifications of quality which we rely on. Should these product components be defective and pass undetected
into finished products, or
should a finished product contain a defect, we could incur significant costs for repairs, re-work and/or removal
and replacement of the
defective product. In addition, if a dispute over product claims cannot be settled, arbitration or litigation may
result, requiring us
to incur attorneys’ fees and exposing us to the potential of damage awards against us.
Our CEO and one of our directors,CEO, Dr. Desheng
Wang, owns 32%approximately
22% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this report. TwoOur ofexecutive ourofficers, directorsdirectors, and 5% stockholders
together own over39.7% 50%
of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, our directors have a significant influence in determining
the outcome of all
corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all
of our assets. They
also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests
of the other
stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
Our common stock is subordinated to our preferred stock.
As described in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock rank senior to shares of Common Stock, with respect to rights on the distribution of assets in any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolutions or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
Starting on January 19, 2026, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the holder of such shares option.
Beginning on January 19, 2026, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Series B holder’s option during certain periods over two (2) years. Redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock would result in the Company to meet such redemption obligations in cash or by finding a third party to purchase such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. No assurances can be given that we will have the funds available in the event a holder of Series B Preferred Stock elects to exercise the redemption rights nor that any third party will be willing to purchase such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Our ability to meet such redemption obligations will depend on our earnings and cash flow. Furthermore, in the event of a redemption, the Company’s requirement to meet such redemption obligations could reduce funds available to further our business and business strategy. On January 19, 2026, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock provided the Company with Redemption Notices requesting the Company to redeem all of their outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. While the allotted time period for redemption (20 days), has passed, the Company and the Series B Holders remain engaged in negotiations to find an amicable solution. On February 19,2026, the Series B investors sent a redemption demand letter for 3,716 outstanding Series B Preferred shares, totaling $3,158,600. This demand letter was subsequently rescinded by the Series B holders while the Series B holders and management attempted to negotiate a settlement. On March 17, 2026, after the parties could not negotiate a successful settlement, the Series B investors renewed their redemption requests by emailing Company management a notice of default. The Company has engaged external advisors to assist in discussions with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine the most appropriate resolution that maximizes value for all stockholders, including the Series B shareholders.
As of JanuaryMarch 31,25, 2025,2026, we had 3,378,104561,765 freely trading
trading shares, after the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 10 to 1 reverse stock split. Any increase in freely trading shares, or
or the perception that such shares will or could come onto the market could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the stock. No
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of these shares, or the availability of such shares for sale, will have on
on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in
in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through
through the sale of our equity securities or impair our shareholders’ ability to sell on the open market.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had 7,153,647915,097 shares
of common stock outstanding and no7,263 shares of preferredSeries stockB Preferred Stock outstanding. We are authorized to issue up to 15,000,0001,000,000,000 shares
of common
stock and no100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. To the extent of such authorization, our Board of Directors will have the ability,
without seeking
stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock in the future for such consideration
as the Board
of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional common stock or preferred stock in the future may reduce
a shareholder’s
proportionate ownership and voting power.
On February 9, 2026, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock on a 1-for-10 basis. No adjustment was made to the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock.
In an effort to regain
compliance with Nasdaq’s Bid Price Rule, on January 31, 2025, the Company effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split pursuant to Nevada
Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.207 which also caused a decrease of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock
by the same ratio from 150,000,000 to 15,000,000.
As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) that said our Market Value of Listed Securities had fallen below $35,000,000, and therefore, we no longer satisfy the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. If at any time before the Compliance Date, the Company’s MVLS closes at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, then this matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the Compliance Date, the Company will receive notification from the Staff that its securities are subject to delisting.
As previously disclosed, on December 22, 2025, the Company received a conditional compliance letter from the Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that based on the Company’s disclosure on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2025, through which the Company discloses its belief of meeting the requirement of maintaining the minimum $2,500,000 in Stockholders’ equity, the Staff has determined that the Company complies with the MVLS Rule. However, the Staff provides that if the Company fails to provide evidence of compliance upon filing its next periodic report, the Company may be subject to delisting.
The smart home installation business is a highly
competitive market, and we have numerous competitors who are already well-established in the market. We expect our competitors to continue
improving the design and performance of their products and to introduce new products that could be competitive in both price and performance.
The reason we believe that we could become competitive in this market segment is because we anticipate integrating the Ubiquitor device,
and our platforms into AVX’s smart home installations. However, there is no guarantee that we can integrate the Ubiquitor device
into AVX’s smart home installations. If we are unable to integrate the Ubiquitor device into smart home installations, we will not
be able to achieve the competitive price and performance we anticipate achieving successsuccess. in AVX’s future smart home installations.
Alternatively, we may not be able to achieve
a smart home installation at a cost-effective price that is sufficient to distinguish us
from amongst the competition in this market segment.

On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase, sale, and escrow agreement with 901 Corporate Center, LP to acquire a 100,743 sq. ft. office and commercial building, along with a four-level parking structure, located in Monterey Park, California. The purchase price is $17,700,000, with an escrow deposit of $525,000. The escrow was initially scheduled to close within sixty days of opening escrow. The $525,000 deposit was placed into the escrow account on January 26, 2026. Both parties have executed several amendments to extend the closing date from February to March 2026. Subsequently, on March 20, 2026, the parties entered into a fifth amendment extending the contingency period to April 10, 2026. At this point in time, the Company has made significant progress towards financing, however there is no assurance that the financing will be completed or that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
On January 19, 2026, the Company received requests for redemption (the “Redemption Notices”) from the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock, as amended, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have the option to require the Company, to redeem all or less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. From the date the Company receives the Redemption Notice, the Company had 20 trading days (the “Time Period”) to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth in the notice for a price equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to such redemption. Since the Company has received the Redemption Notice, the Time Period the Company had to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock has since lapsed. As provided in the Certificate of Designation, with respect to redemption, the Company must comply with Nevada state law which prohibits certain distributions or redemptions. Therefore, management of the Company took the position that under Nevada law, the Series B Transaction documents do not require the Company to redeem the Series B holders under the specific conditions demanded by the investors. As of March 16, 2026, a total of 6,447 shares of Series B Preferred Stock or an aggregate of $5,479,950 remain subject to redemption. On February 19, 2026, the Series B investors sent a redemption demand letter for 3,716 outstanding Series B Preferred shares, totaling $3,158,600. This demand letter was subsequently rescinded by the Series B holders while the investors and management attempted to negotiate a settlement. On March 17, 2026, after the parties could not successfully negotiate a settlement, the Series B holders renewed their redemption requests by emailing Company management a notice of default. The Company has engaged external advisors to assist in discussions with the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and is currently engaged in ongoing negotiations to determine the most appropriate resolution that maximizes value for all stockholders. In addition, management is actively working to identify potential buyers to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock from holders seeking redemption on mutually acceptable terms.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in the Annual Report. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report.
We have a history of operating losses and going concern basis, and we may not be able to sustain profitability.
We were incorporated on December 4, 2012, and as of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $34,015,113. Our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have assessed our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of this Quarterly Report. We had a net loss of $2,765,036 and $2,757,026 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively and a net loss of $4,787,769 and $3,200,138 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,023,411 and $25,782,308 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $5,102,771 and $4,656,754 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If we are not successful in growing revenues and controlling costs, we will not achieve profitable operations or positive cash flow, and even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.
Our failure to file certain financial statements in connection with the Property acquisition pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K will limit our ability to raise capital.
On April 27, 2026, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the completion of our acquisition of the Property. Based on information available to us, we believe that the acquisition would qualify as a “significant” acquisition under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X and as a result, under Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, we are required to provide (i) historical audited financial statements for the Property and (ii) pro forma historical financial information combined to reflect the Property’s financial information (collectively, the “S-X financial information”).
We are not able to obtain financial information sufficient to be able to provide the S-X financial information. Therefore, there is limited public information regarding the operations of the Property and we are not in compliance with the requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. We have requested a waiver from the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such requirements, but there is no assurance that our request will be granted. Unless we file the S-X financial information, the Securities and Exchange Commission will not declare effective registration statements or post-effective amendments filed by us until twelve months following the date on which we have filed a periodic report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that meets the requirements of Regulation S-X, and affiliates will be not be permitted to make sales of securities pursuant to Rule 144 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We have concluded that we have not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting through the six months ended June 30, 2026 or the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in our internal control could have material adverse effects on us.
Our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, caused principally by inadequate staffing and technical expertise in key positions, resulted in overly relying on outside consultants to make numerous adjustments to our financial statements. It is important for us to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information. If we are unsuccessful in implementing or following our remediation plan, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information timely and accurately or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects.
We expect that we will need additional future financing which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Unless we generate significant revenue from operations, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. Unless our revenue increases from past historical revenue, our current cash, including proceeds from our recent completed public offerings and debt issuances, is anticipated to be sufficient to fund operations less than a year. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity financings, which we expect will include sales of common stock, debt financings, equipment sale leasebacks, and/or funding from partnerships or collaborations. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our inability to utilize a registration statement to raise capital due to the late filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing certain financial statements related to the Property. In addition, even if we are able to disclose the required financial information, we will not be able to use a registration statement on Form S-3 until August 2027. In addition, our current outstanding debt holders have certain covenants restricting our ability to raise capital. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants (such as those in our current debt financing) that may impact our ability to conduct our business.
If we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards, including maintenance of at least $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity, maintenance of $5,000,000 of market value of listed securities, if the new Nasdaq continued requirement is enforced, and maintenance of a $1.00 minimum bid price, our common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to maintain our Nasdaq listing in the future. In the event we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards and our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, it could likely lead to a number of negative implications, including an adverse effect on the price of our common stock, reduced liquidity in our common stock, the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws and greater difficulty in obtaining financing. In the event of a delisting, we would take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
On July 22, 2026, the SEC approved Nasdaq’s recently proposed rule changes to (i) adopt Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(6) to require issuers listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5005(a)(23)) (“MVLS”) of at least $5 million for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days, and (ii) amend Rule 5810 to suspend trading and immediately delist from Nasdaq securities of issuers that do not satisfy the proposed new requirements, and Rule 5815 to set forth the procedures for requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel and the scope of the Panel’s discretion. MVLS is generally calculated by multiplying the consolidated closing bid price by the number of shares of listed securities outstanding and, where a company has more than one class or series of equity security listed on Nasdaq, the values are aggregated. Under the new rule, if a company’s MVLS remains below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination and immediately suspend trading of the company’s securities. On July 29, 2026, the SEC notified Nasdaq that it had received notices of intention to petition for review of the SEC's July 22, 2026 order approving Nasdaq's proposed rule change requiring listed companies to maintain a minimum MVLS of $5 million. Pursuant to Rule 431(e) of the SEC's Rules of Practice, the July 22, 2026 approval order has been stayed pending further review.
There can be no assurance that our MVLS will remain at or above the $5 million threshold for periods long enough to comply with the new standard. Our MVLS may be adversely affected by factors outside of our control, including general market conditions, macroeconomic uncertainty, sector-specific developments, investor sentiment, and volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock. Because the rule is triggered by 30 consecutive business days below the threshold, even a sustained but temporary decline in our stock price could result in non-compliance and the immediate suspension and delisting of our Common Stock.
If the new continued listing requirement is once again implemented as previously approved, unlike many other Nasdaq continued listing standards, the new MVLS requirement does not provide a compliance or cure period before a Staff Delisting Determination is issued. Additionally, a request for a hearing before the Hearings Panel does not automatically stay the suspension of trading. While the Hearings Panel may reverse a Staff Delisting Determination if it concludes that Nasdaq made an error, or in limited circumstances grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days for a company to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing standards — which are generally more stringent than the continued listing standards — there can be no assurance that any such relief would be granted. A company may further appeal an adverse Hearings Panel decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council; however, the company’s securities would generally trade in the over-the-counter market during the pendency of any such appeal.
If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange at some future date, we would take actions to restore our compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below The Nasdaq Capital Market, minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements. In the event of a delisting, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
The loan with East West Bank is secured by our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, and a default thereunder could result in us losing the pledged assets.
The loan from East West Bank has certain negative and affirmative covenants and is secured by our assets. There is no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenue or raise sufficient capital to be able to make the required payments under the loan. We and each of our subsidiaries granted security interests in all of our assets for repayment of the loan. Unless waived, any default on any obligations owed under the loan including the affirmative and negative covenants contained therein, could result in our assets being foreclosed. Any action to proceed against our assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our business operations.
Interest rates will impact payments we are required to make under the East West Loan w.
Our loan with East West Bank requires payments floating at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (+) 0.25%. If interest rates meaningfully rise we may not generate sufficient revenue to pay the required loan payments. Any default on any obligations owed under the East West Loan including the affirmative and negative covenants contained therein, could result in our assets being foreclosed upon.
We rely upon a limited number of customers, and a significant portion of our revenue was generated from rental income from our Property.
For the six months ended June 30,2026, we derived 35% and 26% of our revenue and accounts receivable from one customer. The loss of such customer would have a material adverse effect on us. A significant portion of our revenue for the six months ended Juen 30, 2026 was derived from rental income from our new Property. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in operating the Property or that our expenses will not increase in the future beyond the revenue derived from the Property
We recently began operating in a new line of business, which may subject us to additional risks.
In April 2026, we acquired the Property, which generated rents that constituted our principal source of revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. There are risks and uncertainties associated with our activities in the real estate investment business. In developing this line of business, we may invest significant time and resources. In addition, this business may require different strategic management competencies and risk considerations compared to those of our existing management team. External factors, such as regulatory compliance obligations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact our success in the real estate investment business. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the this new line of business could have an adverse effect on our other lines of business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our acquisition of the Property may not result in the strategic benefits that we anticipated.
Our acquisition of the Property was intended to provide certain strategic benefits that we believe would enable us to bring value to our stockholders, including diversifying our operations by adding a new source of revenue and reducing our rent expenses. The market price of our common stock may not reflect the value of these benefits. The market price of our common stock may decline if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by us or investors, financial analysts, or industry analysts. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the acquisition will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased stockholder value or revenue stream to the company.
Legislative, regulatory, accounting or tax rules, and any changes to them or actions brought to enforce them, could adversely affect us.
We are subject to a wide range of legislative, regulatory, accounting and tax rules. The costs and efforts of compliance with these laws, or of defending against actions brought to enforce them, could adversely affect us. In addition, if there are changes to the laws, regulations or administrative decisions and actions that affect us, we may have to incur significant expenses in order to comply, or we may have to restrict or change our operations.
We have invested in the Property, which as a real property asset is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, noise levels, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liabilities on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate and remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, could adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge the Property as collateral for future borrowings. We intend to take commercially reasonable steps when we can to protect ourselves from the risks of environmental law liability; however, we may not always be able to obtain or maintain independent third-party environmental assessments for the Property or any other property we may acquire. In addition, any such assessments that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities, or whether a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition not known to us. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages. In all events, the existing condition of the Property when we bought it, operations in the vicinity of the Property, or activities of unrelated third parties could all affect the Property in ways that lead to costs being imposed on us.
Any material expenditures, fines, damages or forced changes to our business or strategy resulting from any of the above could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our investment in the Property is subject to weather- and climate-related risks.
In April 2026, we acquired the Property, which generated rents that constituted our principal source of revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Property is located in an area that may experience catastrophic weather and other natural events from time to time, including hurricanes or other severe weather, flooding fires, snow or ice storms, windstorms or earthquakes. These adverse weather and natural events could cause substantial damages or losses to the Property properties which could exceed our insurance coverage. In the event of a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose our capital invested in the Property, as well as anticipated future revenue from that Property. We could also continue to be obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the Property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our business and our financial condition and results of operations.
To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur, we may experience extreme weather and changes in precipitation and temperature, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand for properties located in these areas or affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature, including destruction of our Property, or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, changes in federal and state legislation and regulation on climate change could result in increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our Property or to protect it from the consequence of climate change.
Our insurance coverage on the Property may be inadequate to cover any losses we may incur and our insurance costs may increase.
We maintain insurance on the Property. However, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as floods or acts of war or terrorism that may be uninsurable or not economical to insure. Further, insurance companies often increase premiums, require higher deductibles, reduce limits, restrict coverage, and refuse to insure certain types of risks, which may result in increased costs or adversely affect our business. We use our discretion when determining amounts, coverage limits and deductibles, for insurance, based on retaining an acceptable level of risk at a reasonable cost. This may result in insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment. In addition, we may become liable for injuries and accidents at the Property that are underinsured. A significant uninsured loss or increase in insurance costs could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
The business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Property are affected by the performance of the real estate industry.
The U.S. real estate industry is highly cyclical and is affected by global, national and local economic conditions, general employment and income levels, availability of financing, interest rates, and consumer confidence and spending. Other factors impacting real estate businesses include over-building, changes in traffic patterns, changes in demographic conditions, changes in tenant and buyer preferences and changes in government requirements, including tax law changes. These factors are outside of our control and may have a material adverse effect on our business, profits and the timing and amounts of our cash flows to the extent these are dependent on the Property.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined
by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently suffered recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flow from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation. Prior to our acquisition of the Property (as defined below), we had two sources of revenue: generated from our Universal Smart Technology and our software to streamline SEC financial reporting.: Upon our acquisition of the Property in April 2026, our primary source of revenue shifted to revenue generated from rental of our Property. Accordingly, periods prior to the acquisition reflect the historical financial statements of the Company, and the results of operations of the Property are included beginning on the acquisition date. As a result, the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources information for the six months ended June 30, 2026 is not directly comparable to the prior-year period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we generated $651,950 from rental income from the Property. We currently have executed leases for rental of 91,366 space through December 31, 2026 from 12 tenants and anticipate generating $1,464,523 of revenue through December 31, 2026 from the rental income derived from the Property assuming no current leases are terminated.
Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company,”
“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Nevada corporation. We believe we have developed five proprietary technologies
utilizing our patent portfolio which we believe solve the most fundamental problems plaguing the internet of things (“IoT”)
industry through: (1) increasing overall chip integration by shifting integration from the component level to the device level; (2) creating
a faster 5G cellular technology by using ultra-narrowband technology; (3) leveraging ultra-narrowband power line communication (“PLC”)
technology; (4) proprietary User Interface Machine auto generation technology; and (5) incorporating all our core technologies into a
single chip. Our Universal Smart Technology is designed to overcome instrumentation interoperability and interchangeability. The electronic
design starts from a 90% completed common foundation we call our universal smart instrumentation platform (“USIP”), instead
of the current method of building each stand-alone instrument from scratch. Our method has the potential to eliminates redundant hardware
and software and
results in significant cost savings and production efficiency. We also provide sensor devices and are a wholesaler of
various air filters
and digital, analog, and quantum light meter systems. The CompanyWe holds 28 patents and patents pending in various phases of
the patent
process.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of Office and Commercial Building
On April 17, 2026, our wholly owned subsidiary, Lusher Holding LLC (the “Lusher Holding”), closed the acquisition of a Class A office and commercial building along with a four-level parking structure, located at 901 Corporate Center Drive, Monterey Park, California 91754 (the “Property”). The Seller of the Property was 901 Corporate Center, LP (the “Seller”).
The aggregate purchase price of the Property was $17,700,000, exclusive of closing costs (the “Purchase Price”). We made an initial down payment of $525,000 on January 26, 2026. On April 17, 2026, we funded the Purchase Price with a loan of $11,050,000 facilitated by a term loan agreement with East West Bank and $5,797,152 in cash as a downpayment to close escrow. The Purchase Price was discounted approximately $419,153 due to rent prorations, security deposits, and other such pre-paid amounts which resulted in the Company receiving a balance of $2,434 after closing costs. The surveyed aggregate land area of the Property amounts to approximately 464,955 useable square feet or 10.73 acres, which is comprised of four parcels (i.e., Parcel Numbers, 5237-022-014, 046, 047, and 5237-002-021) (the “Parcels”). The Parcels, including its land and improvements, have an aggregate value of approximately $28,424,982 in 2026 according to the Los Angeles County Assessor.
The Property provides approximately 100,743 sq. ft. in rentable Class A office space and has a parking ratio of 4.1/1,000, offering a blend of surface parking and adjacent four-level parking structure with a canopy of solar panels that are currently leased. Currently, the Property is 99.2% occupied by approximately 16 tenants. The Company does not intend to alter the terms of lease agreements in place with the current tenants, most of which have a term of 5 to 8 years. The Company plans to occupy approximately 2,000 square feet of space.
Loan with East West Bank
Lusher Holding entered into a loan with East West Bank to borrow $11,050,000 to pay the Purchase Price, at 6.25% interest for the first 3 years, then floating at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (+) 0.25% for the remaining term, with a floor interest rate at 6.25% to facilitate the purchase of the Property (“East West Loan”).

Our USIP technology that will make the Ubiquitor possible is an advanced software and hardware integrated instrumentation platform that uses a large-scale modular design approach. The large-scale modular design approach subdivides instruments into a foundation component (a USIP) and architecture-specific components (sensor nodes), which together are intended to replaces the functions of traditional instruments at a fraction of their cost. The USIP has an open architecture, incorporating a variety of individual instrument functions, sensors, and probes from different industries and vendors. The platform features the ability to connect potentially thousands of different sensors or probes, addressing major limitations present in traditional instrumentation systems.

SEC financial reporting is traditionally a complex, costly,
and time-consuming process. It includes:
For large organizations, this process
is resource intensive and time consuming. For small public companies, the entire process may take several weeks. Delays in filing can
result in SEC reviews, enforcement actions, and significant penalties.
On July 22, 2025, we began customer
testing of our fully automated SEC financial reporting software in the final design format of the software product. The Company organized
and conducted a technology roadshow to showcase the platform. Built-in validation, including self-consistency and compliance checks, ensures
accuracy and eliminates human error. The solution provides a true one-click process from raw accounting data all the way to a complete
SEC filing.
Management estimates that with this
product what once took weeks of manual work can now be completed in minutes. Unlike other companies offering partial automation, our solution
provides a true one-click process from raw accounting data all the way to a complete SEC filing. With years of development, our full automated
software processing includes the final edgarization and XBRL tagging.
Power Line Communication (“PLC”) technology
is a communication technology that enables sending data over existing power cables. One advantage of this technology is that PLC does
not require substantial new investment for its communications infrastructure. Rather, PLC utilizes existing power lines, thereby formingutilizing
a distribution network that already penetrates all residential, commercial and industrial premises. Accordingly, connectivity via PLC
technology is potentially the most cost-effective, scalable interconnectivity approach for the IoT. We believe PLC technology can be an
integral part of our communication infrastructure for the IoT, which enables reliable, real-time measurements, monitoring, and control.
A large variety of appliances may be interconnected by transmitting data through the same wires that provide electrical energy.
Currently, the Company has 18 pending U.S. nonprovisional patent applications and 9 issued U.S. patents.

There are several companies that compete with AVX in smart home installations, including Vivint Smart Home, Savant, Crestron and Control4. However, we believe we can distinguish ourselves from our competitors by offering substantially more customization and interoperability with existing platforms. While our service offerings do not rely on always providing the entire installation for the end client, our Company is able to seamlessly provide accenting, replacement, or conversion home automation systems which are easier to use and interoperate for the end client, and with limited rewiring. Complete installation by Crestron ranges between $100,000 and $500,000 and an installation by Control4 ranges between $70,000 and $250,000. The cheapest competitor we can identify in this sector is Vivint Smart Home, which costs less than $50,000 to install; however, we understand that the Vivint Smart Home focuses on security systems only and that users have no other smart applications, which our smart home product line would include. Our sales staff have encountered a growing client base of unhappy customers with the pre-existing and completely siloed platform systems that reportedly are not easy to use or program, require costly specialty service for simple operations, are subject to lengthy software and hardware backlogs, and despite being based on the same platform, fail to operate compatibly, possessing frequent errors and bugs. Our products are being designed to solve the foregoing problems.
