Our
business, financial condition, and results of operations,operations may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the risk,risk factors,factors
and uncertainties described under this Item 1A,1A and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This is not an exhaustive list, and there are other
factors that may be applicable to our business that are not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material. Any
of these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects, which could cause
the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. You should carefully consider the
risks,risks factors,factors and uncertainties described below, together with the other information contained in this Form 10-K, as well as the risk,risk
factors, uncertainties, and other information we disclose in other filings we make with the SECSEC, before making an investment decision
regarding our securities.
Our
growth plan contemplates our ability to create a Brokerage and Financial Markets business; however, this has been delayed for several
years,years and may be difficult to achieve as our platform for expansion is a start-up business in the early stages of its development.
Since
2021, we have pursued the development of a brokerage and financial markets business. Our growth plan, however, contemplated the acquisition
of a registered broker-dealer, which was originally to have been acquired from an affiliate of Joseph Cammarata, a former executive officer
who was terminated in late 2021. However, due to delays and complications in that process, relating primarily to Mr. Cammarata’s
then ongoing legal proceedings, even though unrelated to the business of the Company, we were caused in 2022 to abandon those efforts
and continue our search for alternative acquisitions within the brokerage industry. With our 2024 acquisition of Opencash, a broker-dealer
in the pre-revenue and early stages of its operations, we believe we will now be able to launch our expansion into the retail brokerage
and financial markets industry. However, to do so, we will needneeded to, among others, develop the infrastructure necessary to achieve retail
operations, on-board customer support personnel and software developers, develop and implement a marketing strategy, secure the necessary
securities clearing arrangements, continue the development of the online Opencash trading platformplatform, and complete our integration with
the proprietary algorithmic trading platform we acquired in September 2021. Despite our best efforts, we have not yet been able to launch
commercial operations of our securities brokerage business, and although we believe this should occur within the near-term, there can
be no assurance that
we will be able to achieve these objectives on a timely basis, if at all, as the development of an early-stage securities
brokerage business
involves inherent regulatory and operational risks and uncertainties.
Prior
to 2022, the Company had engaged in a series of interested party transactions with its former directors and officers, Mario Romano and
Annette Raynor. Those transactions were terminated in conjunction with a January 6, 2022,2022 Separation and Release Agreement by which Mr.
Romano and Ms. Raynor resigned their positions as officers and directors of the Company and surrendered 150,000,000 shares of our common
stock. Subsequently, on September 9, 2023, we closed on the purchase in a private transaction of an aggregate of 302,919,223 shares of
the Company’s common stock from sellers consisting of MarioMr. Romano, AnnetteMs. Raynor, and a series of their family members and related
entities. These shares were purchased for aggregate consideration of $2,922,380, representing a price of $0.00964739 per share, with
one-eighth of the purchase price paid on or about the closing, with the balance payable in a series of equal quarterly payments over
seven (7) consecutive quarters thereafter.
On February 7, 2024, we repurchased for surrender and cancellation in a private transaction an aggregate of 472,374,710 shares of the Company’s common stock from Ryan Smith and Chad Miller and certain of their respective affiliates and family members. These shares were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $3,571,146, equating to a price of $0.007559985 per share, representing a discount of approximately 57.6% to the average market price at the time of the closing. One-eighth of the purchase price was paid within seven (7) days of the closing, with the balance payable in a series of equal quarterly payments over seven (7) consecutive quarters thereafter.
During
September 2021, we acquired, among other assets, a proprietary
algorithmic trading platform from MPower, a business controlled by two
members of our Board of Directors. The assets of MPower were acquired
in consideration of the issuance of Class B Redeemable Units consisting
of non-voting membership interests in our wholly owned subsidiary IFGHsubsidiary,
IFGH, that are in the future redeemable for 565,000,000 Companyof the Company’s common
shares, presently representing over 23%19% of the Company’s
current fully-dilutedfully diluted shares. To date, we have been unable to monetize
on the assets we purchased from MPower.
Further,
by virtue of an April 27, 2020 convertible note financing arrangement we have with DBR Capital, LLC (“DBR Capital”) (see
“ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”), an affiliate of our Chairman, David
B. Rothrock, we borrowed the principal amount of $3,300,000 under an aggregate of three convertible promissory notes that bear rates
of interest between 20.00% and 38.50% per annum and are subject to conversion by DBR Capital at a price of $0.007 per share. Under the
first three loans, DBR Capital had the right to lend to the Company up to an additional $7.7 million$7,700,000 for which the Company had no call
rights, on substantially the same terms as the prior loans, through December 31, 2024. In February 2025, the terms of the note financing
arrangement were amended so that DBR Capital has been givenhad until August 31, 2025 to lend to the Company a minimum of $2,000,000,$2,000,000 at a reduced interest
rate of 18.75% per annum (from 38.5%), and

The terms and conditions of the credit

in the future.
During
September 2021, we acquired, among other assets, a proprietary
algorithmic trading platform from MPower, a business controlled by two
members of our Board of Directors. The assets of MPower were acquired

IFGH, that are in the future redeemable for 565,000,000 Companyof the Company’s common
shares on a one-for-one basis. While we believe
that the trading platform that we acquired in the acquisition will become a fundamental
part of our overall strategy to create a Brokerage
and Financial Markets business, our expected deployment of those assets was unexpectedly
delayed due to complications and delays in the

We
contract with a professional employer organization, or PEO, thatto administersadminister our human resources, payrollpayroll, and employee benefits
functions functions
for our employees in the United States. Although we recruit and select our workers, each of these workers is also an
employee of record
of the PEO. As a result, these workers are compensated through the PEO, are governed by the work policies created
jointly by us and the
PEO and receive their annual wage statements and other payroll or labor related reports from the PEO. This
relationship permits management
to focus on operations and profitability rather than payroll administration, but this relationship
also exposes us to some risks. Among
other risks, if the PEO fails to adequately withhold or pay employer taxes or to comply with
other laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards
Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security ActAct, or
state and federal anti-discrimination laws, each
of which is outside of our control, we would be liable for such violations, and
indemnification provisions with the PEO, if applicable,
and Company insurance may not be sufficient to insulate us from those
liabilities.
Court
and administrative proceedings related to matters of employment tax, labor lawlaw, and other laws applicable to PEO arrangements could distract
management from our business and cause us to incur significant expense. If we were held liable for violations by the PEO, such amounts
may adversely affect our profitability and could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
Unfavorable
publicity associated with our now concludednow-concluded SEC inquiry.
We
have experienced unfavorable publicity for several years that, to some extent, we attribute to the SEC inquiry that had been ongoing
since November 2021.2021 but settled in the beginning of 2025. The unfavorable publicity had a negative impact on our commercial banking
and credit card processing relationships,
employees, business, products, and reputation, and negatively impacted our ability to attract,
motivate, and retain banking relationships,
members members, and distributors, and our ability to generate revenue. InSince recognitionour that we settled the outstanding mattersettlement with
the SEC, it
would beis our expectation that the unfavorable publicity we experienced in the past will dissipate over time; however, there
can be no
assurances to that effect.
We
may be impacted by macroeconomic conditions due to global pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of disease and the resulting global supply
chain crisis.
Global
trade conditions and consumer trends that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to persist and may also have long-lasting
adverse impact on us and our industry. There are continued risks arising from new pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of disease, which
have had and could further have an adverse effect on suppliers and customers and create significant volatility and uncertainty and economic
disruption. We believe the extent to which global pandemics ultimately impact our business, financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including, without limitation:
the duration and scope of the pandemic; the success in delivering and efficacy of vaccines; governmental, business and individuals’
actions that have been and will be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on travel and transport and workforce pressures);
the effect on our suppliers and customers and customer demand for our core products and services; the effect on our sources of supply;
the impact of the pandemic on economic activity and actions taken in response; closures of our and our suppliers’ and customers’
offices and facilities; the ability of our customers to pay for our products and services; financial market volatility; commodity prices;
and the pace of recovery. We cannot predict the duration or direction of current or new global trends or their sustained impact. Ultimately,
we continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions to remain flexible and to optimize and evolve our business as appropriate, and we will
have to accurately project demand and infrastructure requirements globally and deploy our workforce and capital resources accordingly.
If we experience unfavorable global market conditions, or if we cannot or do not maintain operations at a scope that is commensurate
with such conditions or are later required to or choose to suspend such operations again, our business, prospects, financial condition,
and operating results may be harmed.
During
2024, we instituted collection efforts through litigation against one of our credit card processors and its clearing bank as efforts
to account for and collect approximately $1.87 million of our credit card receivables that were supposed to have been held by them in
reserve, have not proven successful.
The
Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2024, reflect a receivables balance of $2.53 million. Of that balance, $2.19
million represents receivables that arise out of credit card transactions generated by the Company’s iGenius subsidiary. The credit
card transactions that arise out of the ordinary course operations of the Company’s iGenius subsidiary are processed by the Company’s
credit card processors, in conjunction with their clearing banks. Over time, the balance of credit card collections being held by one
of our credit card processors and its clearing bank, which are legally supposed to be held for the benefit of the Company, subject to
coverage for chargebacks and other normal course collection issues, has increased to approximately $1.87 million, an amount that has
been generally confirmed by the credit card processor. As they had been unresponsive to our repeated demands for payment, claiming that
they were in the process of concluding their internal accounting of the amounts due and status of our accounts, in March 2024, the Company
instituted a lawsuit against this credit card processor and its clearing bank seeking, among other things, an accounting for and repayment
of the withheld funds. Notwithstanding, to date, we have been unable, through negotiations and through our lawsuit, to recover any amount
of the receivable balances owed to us as the credit card processor asserts, among others, that it continues to evaluate possible exposure
to chargebacks and other normal course collection issues. Recently, however, the Company’s application for a pre-judgment writ
of attachment against both the credit card processor and the clearing bank, has been granted. Although the Company’s collection
efforts will likely be enhanced by application of the pre-judgment writ of attachment, there can still be no assurances that the Company
will be able to collect some or all of the funds owed to it. Should the Company be unable to collect some or all of the funds owed, it
will be caused to incur a corollary bad debt expense of up to the uncollected amount which is currently approximately $1.87 million.
Furthermore, the Company may be caused under generally accepted accounting principles to incur a bad debt expense if it is determined
that the amounts owed to the Company are unlikely to be collected, although the Company has not yet reached that conclusion. A charge
of up to $1.87 million, which represents less than 10% of the Company’s current assets, would not have a material adverse effect
upon the Company’s long-term liquidity, however, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s net earnings in
the period incurred.
We
are at risk for cyber-attacks, such as phishing, and other attempts
to gain unauthorized access to our systems, and we anticipate continuing
to be subject to such attempts. There is an ongoing risk that
some or all of our cryptocurrencies could be lost or stolen as a result
of one or more incursions of thesethis incursions.nature. As we increase in size,
we may become a more appealing target of hackers, malware, cyber-attacks
cyber-attacks, or other security threats, and, despite our implementation of
strict security measures and frequent security audits, it is impossible
to eliminate all such vulnerability.vulnerabilities. For instance, we may not
be able to ensure the adequacy of the security measures employed by third
parties, such as our service providers. Additionally, though
we provide cybersecurity training for employees, we cannot guarantee that
we will not be affected by attempted security breaches. Efforts
to limit the ability of malicious actors to disrupt the operations of
the internet or undermine our own security efforts may be costly
to implement and may not be successful. Such breaches, whether attributable
to a vulnerability in our systems or otherwise, could subject
us to liability to our customers, suppliers, business partners and others,
or give rise to legal and/or regulatory action, which could
damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business, operating
results, and financial condition, and result in claims of liability
against us, damage our reputation and materially harm our business.
We
rely primarily on a well-known U.S. basedU.S.-based third-party digital asset-focused custodian to safeguard our Bitcoin. If our third-party service
provider experiences a security breach or cyber-attack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our Bitcoin, we may lose some or all
of our BitcoinBitcoin, and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our
future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure that we
will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property and technology without our authorization. We also rely on
trade secrets, common law trademark rights, and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire,work-for-hire, development, assignment,
and license agreements with employees, consultants, third-party developers, licensees, and customers. Our protective measures for these
intangible assets afford only limited protection from illegal actors and may be flawed or become inadequate with the passage of time.
In
recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving intellectual property rights. In particular, there
has been an increase in the filing of lawsuits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into
entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such lawsuits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may
allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights,
is costlycostly, and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event that we become involved in such a lawsuit in the future and receive an
adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages, and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the intellectual property
in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives.
Risks
Related to our FinancialConectiv EducationDirect-to-Consumer and TechnologyMarketing Business
Our
business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the securities markets or the domestic or international
economy in general.
We
depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their
own investment decisions. Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions domestically
or internationally may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment decisions and thus decrease the demand for our
products and services. Significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions domestically or
internationally may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions
and, thus, decrease the demand for our products and services.
We
may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and failures that could reduce the attractiveness of our websiteswebsites,
and that could harm our business and results of operations.
Although
we have historically featured the sale of financial education products and services, we intend to significantly expand the scope of
the products and services offered by our direct-to-consumer marketing platform to include the sale of consumer health, wellness, and
nutrition products, among others. Our
future success depends in part on our ability to develop and enhance our products.product Inand addition,service
offerings. This will involve, among others, the adoption of new internet, networking
ornetworking, telecommunications technologiestechnologies, or other
technological changes that could require us to incur substantial expenditures to enhance or adapt
our services or infrastructure.
There are significant technical and financial costs and risks in the development of new or enhanced products,
including the risk
that we might be unable to effectively use new technologies, adapt our services to emerging industry standards, or develop,
develop, introduceintroduce, and market enhanced or new products. An inability to develop new products,products or enhance existing offerings,offerings could have a
a material adverse effect on our profitability.
Our
business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations of unfair competition andor unfairunfair, falsefalse, or deceptive
acts acts
or practices in or affecting commerce.
Advertising
and marketing of our products in the United States are also subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission
(“FTC”)
under the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act. Among other things, the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of
competition and unfair
falseunfair, false, or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The FTC Act also makes it illegal to
disseminate or cause any false advertisement to be disseminated
any false advertisement.disseminated. The FTC routinely reviews websites to identify questionable advertising claims and
practices. Competitors sometimes
inform the FTC when they believe other competitors are violating the FTC ActAct, and consumers also
notify the FTC of what they believe may
be wrongful advertising. The FTC may initiate a nonpublic investigation that focuses on our
advertising claims, which usually involves
nonpublic, pre-lawsuit, extensive formal discovery. Such an investigation may be lengthy
and expensive to defend and result in a publicly
disclosed consent decree or settlement agreement. If no settlement can be reached,
the FTC may start an administrative proceeding or
a federal court lawsuit against us or our principal officers. The FTC often seeks
to recover from the defendants, whether in a consent
decree or a proceeding, any or all of the following: (i) consumer redress in
the form of monetary relief or disgorgement of profits;
(ii) significant reporting requirements for several years; and (iii)
injunctive relief. In addition, most, if not all, states have statutes
prohibiting deceptive and unfair acts and practices. The
requirements under these state statutes are similar to those of the FTC Act.
The Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”) imposes a substantial fine and a cease-and-desist order, finding that the Company’s direct selling unit violated Polish laws that prohibit pyramid-style promotional schemes.
Our
business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations that our direct selling activities are fraudulent or deceptive
schemes, or against public interest.
Our
direct selling unit (recently rebranded from “iGenius” to “Conectiv”) offers products and services that are marketed
by a global network of independent distributors using a direct selling business model. Although
we believe that our direct selling business
model is in material compliance with applicable legal standards, direct selling programs,programs similar to ours and others within the industry,
in general, have oftenperiodically been the target of regulatory scrutiny by federal, state, and local governmental agencies in the United
States States
and foreign countries, including the FTC. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive
schemes, schemes,
often referred to as “pyramid” schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants
without without
significant emphasis on product sales, whereas the more successful direct selling business models have and emphasize sales of
products products
and services. The regulatory requirements concerning direct selling programs do not include “bright line” rules
and are inherently
fact-based and,fact-based, thus, we are subject to the risk that these regulations or the enforcement or interpretation of these
regulations by
regulators or courts can change. The adoption of new regulations, or changes in the interpretations or enforcement of
existing regulations,
may result in significant compliance costs or require us to change or cease aspects of our network marketing program.
In addition, the
ambiguity surrounding these regulations can also affect the public perception of our business. In the normal course of operations, we
may periodically receive an inquiry from a foreign regulator relative to matters of this nature, however, to our knowledge we are not
under formal investigation relative to the practices of our direct selling network activities in any foreign country.
In the normal course of operations, we have periodically received inquiries from foreign regulators relative to matters of this nature. In that regard, since March 2025 we have been responding to such an inquiry from Poland’s Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”) in which it, among others, alleged that our direct selling unit is not a bona fide financial education platform and is instead operating a pyramid scheme that is focused more on the recruitment of new members and not the sale or use of the underlying products or services being offered. Based on our analysis of the applicable legal standards and the tracking of our sales within Poland, in which the predominant portion of our sales consists of membership sales driven by our members, we believe that the direct selling business operating within Poland complies with all applicable legal standards, and we disagree with any claims to the contrary. Despite our strong belief in our position, and written submissions to UOKiK to that effect, in December 2025, UOKiK issued a formal administrative decision concluding its investigation of the Company’s direct selling operations in Poland. In its decision, UOKiK determined that certain aspects of our direct selling business model, as conducted in Poland, violate Polish laws relating to unfair commercial practices, including laws prohibiting pyramid-style promotional schemes. The decision imposes an administrative fine of PLN 14,668,589 (approximately USD $4 million) and includes an order requiring the Company to cease and desist the practices described in the decision. Under the terms of the decision, enforcement of the fine and cease and desist components thereof is not final and is subject to the conclusion of any appeal to the competent Polish court.
The Company does not agree with the conclusions set forth in the decision based upon its interpretation of Polish law as applied to the manner in which it sells its products and services in Poland and intends to avail itself of all procedural rights of appeal and legal remedies available under applicable law. In February 2026, the Company timely filed an appeal of UOKiK’s administrative decision with Poland’s Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. That appeal is pending. During the appeal process, the Company expects to continue operations in Poland in the normal course, while evaluating such operational adjustments as may be appropriate to further demonstrate that its operations in Poland do not constitute an unlawful pyramid scheme. While we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the UOKiK decision, if we are ultimately unsuccessful in our defense of the matter on appeal, we could, among other things, be subject to the administrative fine imposed and may be required to modify, suspend or discontinue certain aspects of our direct selling operations or a material portion of our operations in Poland, which such outcome could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. Nevertheless, a loss contingency in the amount of approximately $4.08 million was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2025. This loss is presented within “Accrued liabilities, long term” in our consolidated balance sheet. Although we are not aware of any other claims, there is a possible risk that we could become exposed to similar inquiries or proceedings from other regulators in the European Union or the United States. If this were to occur, we could be exposed to further fines or decisions which, in turn, could have a similar adverse impact on our operations in Europe or the United States. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects given that our Conectiv business unit realizes more than a majority of its revenue from customers in the European Union.

sought is de minimis, we may elect to settle
with any such regulator, often without admitting any violation of law. Towards that
end, we have recently been the target of regulatory
scrutiny by securities regulators in Canada. During 2024, we received a letter
of inquiry from the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”)
in which they questioned whether iGeniusour direct selling unit was
engaged in securities activities without being registered under their securities act. Specifically,
the OSC identified concerns that
our iGeniusdirect selling unit was selling ndau –ndau, which they considered an investment contract – and also noted
that they had concerns
about certain third-party product offerings and access to market experts that were made available to iGeniuscustomers customers.of that unit. Even
Even though we believe that our iGeniusdirect selling business fully complies with all applicable securities laws, due to the immaterial scope
and and
scale of our operations in Ontario, Canada, we elected to settle the matter with the OSC without the need to engage in a protracted and
costly legal dispute. Rather, we agreed with the OSC to conclude the inquiry by
implementing a geoblock throughout Ontario such that
no Ontario-based customers would be able to access any of the disputed product
offerings.
Later
in 2024, we and one of our independent distributors received an enforcement action from the financial regulators in Quebec, Canada, known
as the Autorité des marchés financiers (the “AMF”), in which they challenged certain inappropriatemarketing marketingcommunications
communicationsmade by this particular distributor that they characterized as “inappropriate” made by this particular distributor,, and as wellwell, alleged that iGeniusour direct selling
unit was inappropriately engaging in regulated securities activity without being appropriately registered to do so in Quebec. In discussions
with the AMF, it became clear that the focus of their inquiry was on certain “touting” of financial results by this particular
distributordistributor, which we concluded was unauthorized and in violation of our own internal policiespolicies, and we terminated the distributor. As well,
the AMF raisedasserted concernsthat aboutour direct selling unit acted in contravention of securities regulations that require registration to effectuate

We
have carefully evaluated the basis for the claims asserted by the OSC and the AMF and we have concluded that our iGenius business unit
operates generally in compliance with applicable securities rules and regulations. Our completed and pending settlements, however, with
the OSC and AMF could expose us to similar claims from other securities regulators in the United States and in other foreign countries
in which we operate. Were such claims to be made, we could be exposed to having to defend our business model in protracted and costly
legal disputes, or else engage in similar settlements in which we agree to limit the geographic scope of our operations, either of which
alternatives could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.
Our
independent distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not able to directlycannot provide the same oversight and direction
as we could if they were our employees. As a result, we have implemented compliance measures that are designed to train our distributors
and attempt to monitor our distributors’ use of marketing materials that are in compliance with FTC and other legal standards.
Despite our compliance initiativesinitiatives, we cannot always ensure that our independent distributors will comply with applicable laws or regulations,
our distributor policies and procedures, or that such marketing materials or other distributor practices comply with applicable laws,
rules, and regulations. It is possible that a court or governmental agency could hold us liable for the actions of our distributors,
which could materially harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Extensive
federal, state, local, and international laws regulate our business, productsproducts, and direct selling activities. In addition, because we
have expanded into foreign countries, our policies and procedures for our independent distributors differ slightly in some countries
due to the different legal requirements of each country in which we do business.
Through
our iGenius membership program and our now discontinuednow-discontinued Apex sale and leaseback program, our members gained access to a variety of benefits provided
provided through third partythird-party partnerships and affinity arrangements, including products and services provided by third partythird-party investment professionals
professionals and access to a proprietary digital currency called “ndau” (which was discontinued during August 2023). We
cannot ensure
that such third-party providers will comply with their contractual requirements to our members or with applicable laws,
rules, and regulations.
Any significant failures by them could cause us to incur losses and could harm our reputation.
Our
business could be negatively affected by claims related to a financial product underwritten, administered and managed by a third-party
provider, Total Protection Plus.
Included
in the Apex sale and leaseback program that was discontinued in 2021, was a “guaranteed assets buy-back product”
underwritten, administered and managed by a third-party provider, Total Protection Plus (“TPP”), which was intended to
provide customers who participated in the Apex sale and leaseback program with a financial protection program (the “TPP
Program”), under which customers, provided they complied with certain TPP required claims procedures, could elect to collect a
cash payout in either a five-or-ten year interval after their initial purchase. As part of their sales and marketing materials, TPP
represented that they were a purported affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firm that had sufficient capital
resources, reserves and liquidity to support any payouts needed to satisfy their obligations under the TPP Program. TPP was paid
substantial premiums for the program. In most instances, the premium for the TPP program was included in the package price for the
Apex program, at no additional cost to the customer.
Separately,
iGenius members who purchased ndau from the Company through an Oneiro sponsored ndau distribution program, were also given the
opportunity to participate in a TPP Program similar to the program offered to our Apex customers; which in this case was intended to
provide customers who purchased ndau with a financial protection program under which such customers, provided they complied with
certain TPP required claims procedures, could elect to collect a cash payout in either a five- or ten-year interval after their
initial purchase. Participation in this program was also in reliance on sales and marketing materials by which TPP represented that
they were a purported affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firm that had sufficient capital resources, reserves and
liquidity to support any pay-outs needed to satisfy their obligations under the TPP Program. Prior to terminating the distribution
of ndau during August 2023, we distributed over $16.6 million in ndau to our members purportedly supported by the TPP Program. As in
the same case as had been done with respect to the Apex customers, TPP was paid substantial premiums for the program, and those
premiums were included in the purchase price for the ndau program, at no additional cost to the customer.
During
the fourth calendar quarter of 2021, we suspended any further offering of the TPP Program in connection with the sale of ndau after TPP
was unable to comply with our vendor compliance protocols, having cited certain offshore confidentiality entitlements by which
it was unwilling to provide evidence of its financial support arrangements. That suspension has remained in place as we have been unable
to further validate the continued integrity of the TPP Program and the vendor’s ability to honor its commitments to our members; despite the payment of over $6 million to TPP to secure the benefits
of the TPP Program.
Our level of concern over the viability of the TPP Program has recently increased materially as we have come to learn that: (i) certain
of our customers have been unable to reach TPP in order to process claims for their 5-year promised returns; (ii) certain customers have
informed us that the TPP website has been inoperative and customers have been unable to process their claims; and (iii) an email communication
purportedly from TPP, or an affiliate thereof, has been received by certain of customers in which the sender asserts that the obligations
of TPP under the TPP Program were (unbeknownst to us and our customers) purportedly dependent on the financial wherewithal of another
heretofore undisclosed TPP affiliate, that the email claims now has no ability to satisfy the commitments originally made by TPP.
To respond to these concerns, and in an effort to advance the interests
of our customers, on March 28, 2025, we commenced an action against Total Protection Plus, UIU Holdings LLC, Jason R. Anderson, Jacob
S. Anderson, and Schad E. Brannon (collectively, “TPP”), in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Investview
et al., v. UIU Holdings, LLC et al., seeking to, among other things, compel TPP to fulfill the commitments that were made to the Company’s
customers under the TPP Program.
We
cannot ensure that TPP will comply with its contractual commitments to our customers, in which case these customers may not be able
to realize the cash payouts promised by TPP; despite the substantial payments made to TPP to secure the benefits of
the TPP Program. As the direct responsibility for compliance with the TPP Program resides with TPP;
particularly as the program was underwritten, managed and administered by TPP as an independent third-party vendor (and with respect
to ndau, the underlying ndau was developed and marketed by an additional third-party vendor), and in recognition of the
customers’ acceptance of their participation in the program, we do not believe that we have any legal responsibility to cover
any potential claims of customers who participated in the TPP Program. There is, however, a risk that any failure of TPP to perform
its obligations to our customers could expose us to commercial claims of dissatisfied customers, regardless of the legal foundation
associated therewith. The possible assertion of those claims could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
operating results.
Our business could be negatively affected by claims related to a financial product underwritten, administered, and managed by a third-party provider, Total Protection Plus.
Historically, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Apex Tek, LLC (“Apex”) and SAFETek, LLC, we sold high-powered data processing equipment, known as the Apex package, to our customers, which was then leased back to us for use in our crypto mining operations. We discontinued sales of the Apex package in June 2020, principally when COVID-19 created certain supply chain-related limitations on that business. Confronted with these limitations in the business, we offered the holders of our Apex leases the opportunity to cancel their leases, in exchange for which we repurchased substantially all of the data processing equipment (subject to these leases) for approximately $19 million of promissory notes due on or about December 31, 2024 (which amount reflects the principal amount invested by all of such lease holders, plus a 25% premium). During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, we further offered all note holders an early payoff option. By December 31, 2024, we had repaid or settled approximately $19 million of promissory notes.
Included in the Apex sale and leaseback program that was discontinued in 2021, was a “guaranteed assets buy-back product” underwritten, administered and managed by a third-party provider, Total Protection Plus (“TPP”), which was intended to provide customers who participated in the Apex sale and leaseback program with a financial protection program (the “TPP Program”), under which customers, provided they complied with certain TPP required claims procedures, could elect to collect a cash payout in either a five-or-ten year interval after their initial purchase. As part of their sales and marketing materials, TPP represented that they were a purported affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firm, and that through existing resources and reinsurance arrangements that were in place, they and their reinsurer had sufficient capital resources, reserves, and liquidity to support any payouts needed to satisfy their obligations under the TPP Program. TPP was paid substantial premiums for the program. In most instances, the premium for the TPP program was included in the package price for the Apex program, at no additional cost to the customer.
Separately, other customers of ours who purchased ndau from the Company through an Oneiro-sponsored ndau distribution program were also given the opportunity to participate in a TPP Program similar to the program offered to our Apex customers, which in this case was intended to provide customers who purchased ndau with a financial protection program under which such customers, provided they complied with certain TPP required claims procedures, could elect to collect a cash payout in either a five- or ten-year interval after their initial purchase. Participation in this program was also in reliance on sales and marketing materials by which TPP represented that they were a purported affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firm that, through existing resources and reinsurance arrangements that were in place, they and their reinsurer had sufficient capital resources, reserves, and liquidity to support any pay-outs needed to satisfy their obligations under the TPP Program. Prior to terminating the distribution of ndau during August 2023, we distributed over $16.6 million in ndau to our customers in our belief that such purchases were supported by the TPP Program. As had been done with respect to the Apex customers, TPP was paid substantial premiums for the program, with those premiums included in the purchase price for the ndau program, at no additional cost to the customer.
During the fourth calendar quarter of 2021, we suspended any further offering of the TPP Program in connection with the sale of ndau after TPP was unable to comply with our vendor compliance protocols, having cited certain offshore confidentiality entitlements by which it was unwilling to provide evidence of its financial support arrangements. That suspension has remained in place as we have been unable to further validate the continued integrity of the TPP Program and the vendor’s ability to honor its commitments to our customers, despite the payment of over $6 million to TPP to secure the benefits of the TPP Program. Our level of concern over the viability of the TPP Program had increased materially when in 2025 we came to learn that: (i) certain of our customers had been unable to reach TPP in order to process claims for their 5-year promised returns; (ii) the TPP website had been inoperative and customers had been unable to process their claims; and (iii) an email communication purportedly from TPP, or an affiliate thereof, had been received by certain of customers in which the sender asserts that the obligations of TPP under the TPP Program were (unbeknownst to us and our customers) purportedly dependent on the financial wherewithal of another heretofore undisclosed TPP affiliate, that the email claims now had no ability to satisfy the commitments originally made by TPP. Our concern over the viability of the TPP program has recently been further validated as we have received information in connection with our litigation efforts (as discussed below) that suggests that the TPP Program was dependent upon reinsurance commitments, which were, in turn, dependent upon the reinsurer’s receipt of certain annual installment payments from TPP, who purportedly failed to make the required installment payments. Even though our investigation of the matter has not concluded, these preliminary findings appear to support our concerns over the viability of the TPP Program.
To respond to these concerns, and in part, in an effort to advance the interests of our customers, on March 28, 2025, we commenced an action in equity against Total Protection Plus, UIU Holdings LLC, Jason R. Anderson, Jacob S. Anderson, and Schad E. Brannon (collectively, “TPP”), in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Investview et al., v. UIU Holdings, LLC et al., seeking to, among other things, compel TPP to fulfill the commitments that were made to the Company’s customers under the TPP Program. In response, the Defendants filed various motions to dismiss, making both procedural and substantive challenges to the allegations made in the Complaint. The Company opposed those motions, and after a hearing before the Chancery Court, in a letter opinion dated November 21, 2025, the Chancery Court (which is a court of equity) ruled that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the Company’s claims because, among others: (i) it is a court of equity and the claims asserted by the Company were not purely equitable in nature; and (ii) a suit for money damages would provide the Company an adequate remedy at law. The Court dismissed the Complaint on these procedural grounds with leave to transfer the case to Delaware Superior Court, which does not have the same limited jurisdiction that exists in Chancery Court. At no point did the Chancery Court address or rule on the substance of our claims against TPP.
In response to the dismissal of the case, in January 2026, we renewed our case against TPP by transferring the case to Delaware Superior Court and then filing an Amended Complaint in Delaware Superior Court, including additional factual allegations to support our claims. In the Amended Complaint, the Company removed Schad Brannon as one of the Defendants and is now pursuing relief against UIU Holdings LLC d/b/a Total Protection Plus, Jason R. Anderson, and Jacob S. Anderson. The Defendants responded to the Amended Complaint in February 2026 by filing motions to dismiss along similar grounds as to what they argued in Chancery Court, including arguments that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over Jacob Anderson, the Company lacks standing to pursue its claims, and the claims otherwise fail as a matter of law. The Company is due to respond to the motion to dismiss on or before April 16, 2026. To date, the court process has not yet addressed the substance of our claim. Due to the uncertainties and procedural delays associated with matters of litigation, and in recognition of the early stage of the proceedings, we cannot assure that the outcome of the legal proceedings will be consistent with our objectives.
Despite our efforts in court, we cannot ensure that TPP will comply with its contractual commitments to our customers, in which case these customers may not be able to realize the cash payouts promised by TPP; despite the substantial payments made to TPP to secure the promised benefits of the TPP Program. As the direct responsibility for compliance with the TPP Program resides with TPP; particularly as the program was underwritten, managed, administered, and purportedly reinsured by TPP as an independent third-party vendor (and with respect to ndau, the underlying ndau was developed and marketed by an additional third-party vendor), and in recognition of the customers’ acceptance of their participation in the program, we do not believe that we have any legal responsibility to cover any potential claims of customers who participated in the TPP Program. There is, however, the risk that any failure of TPP to perform its obligations to our customers could expose us to commercial claims of dissatisfied customers, regardless of the legal foundation associated therewith. The possible assertion of those claims, regardless of the underlying substance of the claims, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
The
Bitcoin industry has historically been subject to various risks relating to Bitcoin, as an asset, which have adversely affected the market
price of Bitcoin. Ownership of Bitcoin has, historically, been concentrated in a relatively small number of persons or entities that,
collectively, hold a significant number of Bitcoin (referred to as “whales” in the Bitcoin industry). While ownership of
Bitcoin has diversified significantly in recent years, whales continue to exist whose market activity (e.g., sales of large numbers of
Bitcoin) could have an adverse effect on the demand for, and market price of Bitcoin, which could have an adverse effect on our business
and results of operation. Further, while larger, increasingly regulated exchanges with greater transparency and oversight have begun
to proliferate, the Bitcoin economy remains nascent and largely opaque. The venues for Bitcoin transactions may experience greater operational
problems and be exposed to a greater risk of facilitating unethical, fraudulentfraudulent, or illicit transactions (such as “wash trading”),
than traditional financial markets and securities exchanges. Digital asset trading platforms may also be susceptible to “front-running”
activity, which is the process by which someone uses technology or market advantage to obtain prior knowledge of upcoming transactionstransactions,
allowing bad actors to take advantage of forthcoming price movement and make economic gains at the cost of those who introduced the transactions.
Front-running is a frequent activity on centralized and decentralized digital asset trading platforms. Further, venues for Bitcoin transactions
do not typically make complete information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices, and regulatory
compliance available to the public, who are, therefore, unable to verify the impartiality of such venues in respect of the Bitcoin transactions
they facilitate. As a result of such lack of regulation and transparency, as well as the risk posed by Bitcoin whales, wash trading and
front-running, the public may lose confidence in Bitcoin transactions and the price integrity of the digital asset, which could adversely
affect the market price of Bitcoin, perhaps materially, which would have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Digital
assets such as Bitcoin, that may be used, among other things, to buy and sell goods and servicesservices, are a new and rapidly evolving industry
of which the digital asset networks are prominent, but not unique, parts. The growth of the digital asset industry in general, and the
digital asset networks of Bitcoin in particular, are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development
of the digital asset industry, as well as the digital asset networks, include:
As
the number of Bitcoin block subsidy rewards for solving a block in a blockchain continuecontinues to reduce in half approximately every 4 years,
transaction fees have increasingly been used to incentivize miners to continue to contribute to the Bitcoin network. However, high Bitcoin
transaction fees may slow the adoption of Bitcoin as a means of payment, which may decrease demand for Bitcoin and future prices of Bitcoin
may suffer as a result. If Bitcoin prices are not sufficiently high, our mining revenue may not exceed our associated costs, and our
results of operations and financial condition may suffer. Further, because the price of shares of our common stock may be linked to the
price of Bitcoin, if demand for Bitcoin decreases, causing future Bitcoin prices to decrease, the market price of our securities may
be materially and adversely affected, limiting our ability to raise additional capital to fund our strategic growth plans.
We
operate in a highly competitive marketmarket, and if we fail to grow our hash rate,rate in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to compete.
Generally,
a Bitcoin miner’s chance of solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain and earning a Bitcoin reward is a function of the
miner’s miner’s
hash rate, relative to the global network hash rate. As greater adoption of Bitcoin occurs, we expect that the demand
for Bitcoin will
continue to increase, drawing more mining companies into the industry and thereby increasing the global network
hash rate. As new and
more powerful miners are deployed, the global network hash rate will continue to increase, meaning a Bitcoin
miner’s chance of
earning Bitcoin rewards will decline unless it deploys additional hash rate at the same pace withas the
industry. Accordingly, to compete in this
highly competitive industry, we believe we will need to continue to acquire new more
effective and energy-efficient miners, both to replace
those lost to ordinary wear-and-tear and other damage, and to increase our
hash rate to keep up with a growing global network hash rate.
These
new miners are highly specialized servers that are difficult to produce at scale. As a result, there are limited producers capable of
supplying large numbers of sufficiently effective miners, and, as demand for new miners has increased, and will likely continue to increase,increase
in response to increased Bitcoin prices, we have observed that the price of these new miners has also increased. If we are unable to
acquire enough new miners or otherwise access sufficient capital to fund acquisitions to grow our hash rate, our results of operations
and financial condition could be adversely affected, as could investments in our securities.
Bitcoin
is subject to Halving, which is the process by which the Bitcoin reward for solving a block is reduced by 50% for every 210,000 blocks
that are solved. This Halving occurs approximately every 4 years and means that the amount of Bitcoin we (or any other miner) are rewarded
for solving a block in the Blockchain is permanently cut in half. For example, the last Halving occurred in April 2024, with a revised
payout of 3.125 Bitcoin per block solved, down from the previous reward rate of 6.25 Bitcoin per block solved. There can be no assurance
that the price of Bitcoin will sufficiently increase to justify the increasingly high costs of mining for BitcoinBitcoin, given the Halving feature.
If a corresponding and proportionate increase in the trading price of Bitcoin does not follow these anticipated Halving events, the revenue
we earn from our mining operations would see a corresponding decrease, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and
operations. To illustrate, even if the price of Bitcoin remains at its price as of today, all other factors being equal (including the
same number of miners and a stable hash rate), our revenue would decrease substantially upon the next Halving.

for us on threetwo occasions. First, on September 29, 2023, we purchased for surrender in a series of private
transactions, an aggregate of
302,919,223 shares of the Company’s common stock from two of our former Directors and executive officers,
and a series of their
family members and related entities. The shares were purchased for an aggregate consideration of $2,922,380, equating

consecutive quarters thereafter. See Item 13 of this Form 10-K for additional details on the transaction.
Next,
further private purchases were effectuated on February 7, 2024, when we repurchased for surrender and cancellation in a private transaction an aggregate of 472,374,710
shares of the
Company’s common stock from Ryan Smith and Chad Miller and certain of their respective affiliates and family members.

which occurred on April 19th, 2024, decreasing the reward to 3.125 Bitcoin per block solved from the previous reward rate
of 6.25 Bitcoin

The decrease can be explained by a reduction in commissions of $9.9 million, which was a result of a decrease in our membership revenue and a decrease in impairment expense of $869 thousand due to impairment of our data processing equipment during the prior year being more than the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salary and related of $424 thousand and an increase in cost of sales and services of $2.2 million, which was a result of the acquisition of our health, beauty, and wellness business that was acquired in October of 2024, an increase in professional fees, and an increase in general and administrative which was a result of an accrued $4 million fine assessed by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”) that the Company is appealing.
Operating

December 31, 2024. The decrease can be explained by a reduction in commissions of $5.8 million, which was a result of a decrease in
our membership revenue, a decrease in cost of sales and services of $4.7 million, which was a result of a power curtailment mandated
by the government-controlled utility companies in Northern Europe, a decrease in salary and related of $486 thousand, which was a
result of a decrease in stock based compensation, a decrease in general and administrative expenses, which was a result of decreases
in credit card processing fees due to the decreases in our membership revenue and decreases in costs related to our mining
operations, and a decrease in impairment expense of $285 thousand due to impairment of our data processing equipment during the
current year being slightly less than the impairment of other assets in the prior year.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we met our short-and long-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash on hand. At December 31, 2025, we had a total of $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, which we believe is sufficient to meet our debt service, preferred stock dividend payments and all other obligations in a timely manner and be able to meet our objectives.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a net loss from operations of $8,260,102 and net loss of $8,908,479. As of December 31, 2025, we have unrestricted cash of $9,992,443. Also, as of December 31, 2025, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities to result in working capital of $6,884,380 and our digital asset balance was reported at a fair value of $5,464,011. Management does not believe there are any liquidity issues as of December 31, 2025.
The Company’s capital is generally used to support operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company also, from time-to-time, will review potential investments that it believes present unique situations to participate in growth opportunities. Two such opportunities presented themselves when the Company, during October 2025 and March 2026, invested an aggregate of $3.25 million in a special purpose vehicle organized by Dream Ventures LLC, which participated in exempt private placements in an early-stage enterprise developing next generation nuclear power and infrastructure technologies. The Company’s investment consisted of the acquisition of restricted units of the SPV valued at the time of the investments at $3.25 million, as a limited rights participant in two investment rounds in an aggregate amount of $95 million. The SPV, in turn, used the proceeds of those investment rounds to invest in private investment securities of the early-stage nuclear enterprise.
The Company is not in the business of making investments in private securities, however, these investments were viewed by the Board of Directors as a strategic investment intended to access a possible growth opportunity that takes advantage of renewed momentum around modular, rapidly deployable energy systems, supported by recent federal initiatives and Department of Energy programs promoting advanced-reactor innovation.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we met our short-and long-term
working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024,
was $8.3 million. We used our cash provided by operating activities for the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Renu Labs for $1.1 million, the purchase of fixed assets in the amount of $0.5 million, principal and interest payments on debt of $1.3 million,
the repurchase of common shares totaling $3.4 million, total dividend payments on our preferred stock of $0.7 million and added $1.3 million
to our cash balance, which totaled $22.5 million at December 31, 2024. We believe we will have sufficient resources, including cash flow
from operations and access to capital markets, to meet debt service and other obligations in a timely manner and be able to meet our objectives.
During
2024,2024 and 2025, we experienced a material contraction in the revenues generated by our FinancialDTC Education and Technology,marketing and our Blockchain Technology and
and Crypto Mining Products and Services,Services business units. In the case of our FinancialDTC Education and Technology businessmarketing unit, the contraction
was largely attributable
to a combination of shifts in consumer behavior and demand following the COVID-19 pandemic as individuals re-evaluated
their spending
priorities, lifestyle habits, and engagement preferences, as well as broader global macroeconomic changes that have caused
a general
slowdown in the direct sales and home-based business industry. In the case of our Blockchain Technology and Crypto Mining Products and
and Services business unit, the contraction was largely attributable to a combination of the “Bitcoin Halving” which occurred
on April 19th, 2024, decreasing the reward to 3.125 Bitcoin per block solved from the previous reward rate of 6.25 Bitcoin per block
solved, an increase in Bitcoin Network Difficulty and a mandated power curtailment enforced by the government-controlled utility companies
in Northern Europe, partially offset by an increase in the price of Bitcoin. AsWhile wethere haveis seena nopossibility materialthat changethe during2024 and 2025 intrend

in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether,
or or
to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.
Investors Investors
should carefully consider all such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
At
December 31, 2024,2025, we had related party debt of approximately $2.7$3.0 million and debt of approximately $520 thousand.million.
Included
in the Apex sale and leaseback program that was discontinued in 2021, was a “guaranteed assets buy-back product”
underwritten, administeredadministered, managed and managedpurportedly reinsured by a third-party provider, Total Protection Plus (“TPP”),
which was intended to
provide customers who participated in the Apex sale and leaseback program with a financial protection program
(the “TPP
Program”), under which customers, provided they complied with certain TPP required claims procedures, could
elect to collect a
cash payout in either a five-or-ten year interval after their initial purchase. As part of their sales and
marketing materials, TPP
represented that they were a purported affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firmfirm, and that
through existing resources and reinsurance arrangements that were in place, they and their reinsurer had sufficient capital
resources, reservesreserves, and liquidity to support any payouts needed to satisfy their obligations under the TPP Program. TPP was paid
substantial premiums for the program. In most instances, the premium for the TPP program was included in the package price for the
Apex program, at no additional cost to the customer.
Separately,
iGeniusother memberscustomers of ours who purchased ndau from the Company through an Oneiro sponsored ndau distribution program, were also given the
opportunity to participate in a TPP Program similar to the program offered to our Apex customers; which in this case was intended to
provide customers who purchased ndau with a financial protection program under which such customers, provided they complied with certain
certain TPP required claims procedures, could elect to collect a cash payout in either a five- or ten-year interval after their
initial purchase.
Participation in this program was also in reliance on sales and marketing materials by which TPP represented that
they were a purported
affiliate of a well-known global insurance brokerage firmfirm, and that through existing resources and reinsurance arrangements that were
in place, they and their reinsurer had sufficient capital resources, reservesreserves, and
liquidity to support any pay-outs needed to satisfy
their obligations under the TPP Program. Prior to terminating the distribution
of ndau induring August 2023, we distributed over $16.6
million in ndau to our memberscustomers purportedlyin our belief that such purchases were supported by the TPP Program. As in the
same case as had been done with respect to
the Apex customers, TPP was paid substantial premiums for the program, andwith those premiums
were included in the purchase price for the ndau
program, at no additional cost to the customer.
During
the fourth calendar quarter of 2021, we suspended any further offering of the TPP Program in connection with the sale of ndau after
TPP TPP
was unable to comply with our vendor compliance protocols, having cited certain offshore confidentiality entitlements by which
it was unwilling to provide evidence of its financial support arrangements. That suspension has remained in place as we have been
unable unable
to further validate the continued integrity of the TPP Program and the vendor’s ability to honor its commitments to our members
customers; despite the payment of over $6 million to TPP to secure the benefits
of the TPP Program.
Our level of concern over the
viability of the TPP Program has recently increased materially aswhen in 2025 we have comecame to learn that: (i) certain
of our customers have had
been unable to reach TPP in order to process claims for their 5-year promised returns; (ii) certain customers have
informed us that the TPP website hashad been inoperative and
customers havehad been unable to process their claims; and (iii) an email communication
purportedly from TPP, or an affiliate thereof, has
had been received by certain of customers in which the sender asserts that the obligations
of TPP under the TPP Program were
(unbeknownst to us and our customers) purportedly dependent on the financial wherewithal of another
heretofore undisclosed TPP
affiliate, that the email claims now hashad no ability to satisfy the commitments originally made by TPP. Our concern over the
viability of the TPP program has recently been further validated as we have received information in connection with our litigation
efforts (as discussed below) that suggests that the TPP Program was dependent upon reinsurance commitments, which were, in turn,
dependent upon the reinsurer’s receipt of annual installment payments from TPP, who purportedly failed to make these payments.
Even though our investigation of the matter hasn’t concluded, these preliminary findings appear to support our concerns over
the viability of the TPP Program.
To respond to these concerns, and in part, in an effort to advance the interests of our customers, on March 28, 2025, we commenced an action in equity against Total Protection Plus, UIU Holdings LLC, Jason R. Anderson, Jacob S. Anderson, and Schad E. Brannon (collectively, “TPP”), in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Investview et al., v. UIU Holdings, LLC et al., seeking to, among other things, compel TPP to fulfill the commitments that were made to the Company’s customers under the TPP Program. In response, the Defendants filed various motions to dismiss, making both procedural and substantive challenges to the allegations made in the Complaint. The Company opposed those motions, and after a hearing before the Chancery Court, in a letter opinion dated November 21, 2025, the Chancery Court (which is a court of equity) ruled that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the Company’s claims because, among others: (i) it is a court of equity and the claims asserted by the Company were not purely equitable in nature; and (ii) a suit for money damages would provide the Company an adequate remedy at law. The Court dismissed the Complaint on these procedural grounds with leave to transfer the case to Delaware Superior Court, which does not have the same limited jurisdiction that exists in Chancery Court. At no point did the Chancery Court address or rule on the substance of our claims against TPP.
In response to the dismissal of the case, in January 2026, we renewed our case against TPP by transferring the case to Delaware Superior Court, and then filing an Amended Complaint in Superior Court, including additional factual allegations to support our claims. In the Amended Complaint, the Company removed Schad Brannon as one of the Defendants and is now pursuing relief against UIU Holdings LLC d/b/a Total Protection Plus, Jason R. Anderson, and Jacob S. Anderson. The Defendants responded to the Amended Complaint in February 2026 by filing motions to dismiss along similar grounds as to what they argued in Chancery Court, including arguments that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over Jacob Anderson, the Company lacks standing to pursue its claims, and the claims otherwise fail as a matter of law. The Company is due to respond to the motion to dismiss on or before April 16, 2026. To date, the court process has not yet addressed the substance of our claim. Due to the uncertainties and procedural delays associated with matters of litigation, and in recognition of the early-stage of the proceedings, we cannot assure that the outcome of the legal proceedings will be consistent with our objectives.
WeDespite
our efforts in court, we cannot ensure that TPP will comply with its contractual commitments to our customers, in which case these customers
may not be able
to realize the cash payouts promised by TPP,TPP; despite the substantial payments made to TPP to secure the promised benefits
of of
the TPP Program. As the direct responsibility for compliance with the TPP Program resides with TPP;
particularly as the program was
underwritten, managedmanaged, administered, and administeredpurportedly reinsured by TPP as an independent third-party vendor (and with respect
to ndau,
the underlying ndau was developed and marketed by an additional third-party vendor), and in recognition of the
customers’ acceptance
of their participation in the program, we do not believe that we have any legal responsibility to cover
any potential claims of customers
who participated in the TPP Program. There is, however, a risk that any failure of TPP to perform
its obligations to our customers could
expose us to commercial claims of dissatisfied customers, regardless of the legal foundation
associated therewith. The possible assertion
of those claimsclaims, regardless of the underlying substance of the claims, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
and and
operating results.
Appeal of fine and cease and desist order assessed by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (“UOKiK”).
In December 2025, UOKiK issued a formal administrative decision concluding that certain aspects of our direct selling business model, as conducted in Poland, violate Polish laws relating to unfair commercial practices, including laws prohibiting pyramid-style promotional schemes. The decision imposed an administrative fine of PLN 14,668,589 (approximately USD $4 million) and includes an order requiring the Company to cease and desist the practices described in the decision. Under the terms of the decision, enforcement of the fine and cease and desist components thereof, is not final and is subject to conclusion of any appeal to the competent Polish court.
The Company does not agree with the conclusions set forth in the decision based upon its interpretation of Polish law as applied to the manner in which it sells its products and services in Poland and intends to avail itself of all procedural rights of appeal and legal remedies available under applicable law. In February 2026, the Company timely filed an appeal of UOKiK’s administrative decision with Poland’s Court of Competition and Consumer Protection. That appeal is pending. During the appeal process, the Company expects to continue operations in Poland in the normal course, while evaluating such operational adjustments as may be appropriate to further demonstrate that its operations in Poland do not constitute an unlawful pyramid scheme. While we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the UOKiK decision, if we are ultimately unsuccessful in our defense of the matter on appeal, we could, among other things, be subject to the administrative fine imposed and may be required to modify, suspend or discontinue certain aspects of our direct selling operations or a material portion of our operations in Poland, which such outcome could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. Nevertheless, a loss contingency in the amount of approximately $4.08 million was accrued during the year ended December 31, 2025. This loss is presented within “Accrued liabilities, long term” in our consolidated balance sheet. Although we are not aware of any other claims, there is a possible risk that we could become exposed to similar inquiries or proceedings from other regulators in the European Union or the United States. If this were to occur, we could be exposed to further fines or decisions which could, in turn, have similar adverse impact on our operations in Europe or the United States. This could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects given the significance of the operations of the Company’s direct selling unit to the overall size of the Company’s operations, revenues and profitability.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC, SAFETek,
LLC, Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, Opencash Finance, Inc., Opencash Securities, LLC, Investview MTS, LLC, myLife Wellness
Company, Renu Laboratories LLC, and Goldman’s Pharmaceuticals LLC. The Company also owns 50% of ELRT Technologies, LLC, which has
been included in the consolidated financial statements and the Company has recorded a noncontrolling interest for the 50% interest that
it does not own. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Digital Assets
Digital assets are included in non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the Company’s intent to retain and hold bitcoin. Proceeds from the sale of digital assets and the purchase of digital assets are included within investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Digital Assets awarded to the Company through its mining activities and collected for membership revenue are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-08 effective January 1, 2025, the Company measures digital assets at fair value with changes recognized in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company tracks its cost basis of digital assets by-wallet in accordance with the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Refer to “NOTE 5 – DIGITAL ASSETS”, for further information regarding the Company’s impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-08, as defined below.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, and instead, assessed for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.
The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, in which case a quantitative impairment test is not required.
As provided for by ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, goodwill was impaired $873,701 The impairment was due to the estimated fair value of Renu Laboratories LLC exceeding its carrying value.
Intangible Assets
Long-Lived
Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We
account for our cryptocurrencies and intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting
for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.Assets (“ASC 350-30”). ASC Subtopic 350-30, which350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value
of the
consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably
reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather
are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful
life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is
to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events
or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining
carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised
remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing,
maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when
incurred.
We
hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies
as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $1,127,891 and $585,632, respectively. Cryptocurrencies purchased or received for
payment from customers are recorded in accordance with ASC 350-30 and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities
($5,186,606 and $11,348,156 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively) are accounted for in connection with the Company’s
revenue recognition policy. The use of cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting.
For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded realized gains (losses) on our cryptocurrency transactions of $452,450 and
$255,268, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized impairment expense related to our cryptocurrency holdings
of $2,056,386. The impairment was due to carrying value of our ndau coins exceeding its fair value what was deemed $0 due to NDAU having
no trade volume and not being listed on an exchange as of December 31, 2023.
We
accounthave for the impairment of our long-lived assets in accordance withadopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC
360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Companyus be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when
the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.
Events relating to recoverability may include significant
unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted
inability to achieve break-even operating results over
an extended period.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, intangible assets were impaired $29,511. The impairment was due to the Company no longer pursuing certain
domain names. During the year ended December 31, 2024, data processing equipment which is our bitcoin miners were impaired $1,771,891.
The impairment was
due to the carrying value of our data processing equipment exceeding its fair value which was determined using the
price that
similar equipment would sell for in the open market. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no impairment was recorded.
Membership
Revenue
Most
of our revenue of our direct selling business unit is generated by membership sales and payment is received at the time of purchase.
We recognize membership revenue in accordance
with ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606-10 ”),
where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy
the performance
obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide our tools, products, and content over
a fixed membership
period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the membership period and deferred revenue is recorded for the
portion of the membership
period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first-time membership
customers, during
which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the membership. Revenues are deferred
during the trial
period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives,
credits, and
known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our deferred revenues for membership revenue
were $1,905,734 $821,903
and $2,703,398,$1,905,734, respectively.
Providing
computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving
a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only
performance obligation in the Company’s contractscontract with the mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives
is net of a contractually agreed upon mining pool operator fee charged and kept by the mining pool operator and is noncash, in the form
of Bitcoin. Given that the contract is continuously renewing, and the duration is considered to be less than 24 hours, the Company measures
the transaction consideration at fair value on the date Bitcoin is received. The consideration is variable. The amount of consideration
recognized is constrained to the amount of consideration received, which is when it is probable a significant reversal will not occur.
There is no significant financing component or risk of a significant revenue reversal in these transactions due to the performance obligations
and settlement of the transactions being on a daily basis.
Through
our wholly owned subsidiary, Renu Laboratories LLC, we generate revenue by manufacturing and selling health, beautybeauty, and wellness products.
We recognize health and wellness product sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10. The Company’s performance obligation is complete
when control of the promised goods is transferred to a customer, at which time the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects
the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company terms for the sale are based on free on board
(FOB) shipping point, where the control passes to the customer once the product leaves our warehouse. The Company determines collectability
by requiring certain customers to pay before control is transferred and by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring customer
accounts receivable balances. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, deposits collected from customers for orders to be filled
at a future date were
$1,014,164. $108,061 and $1,014,164, respectively, which are recorded as deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Shipping
and direct costs charged to customers, along with fees collected from customers for storing their products in our warehouse facility
located in Warminster, Pennsylvania,Pennsylvania are included in revenue as Other Revenue. Shipping and direct costs incurred by the Company are included
included in Cost of Sales and Service.
Cryptocurrency
Revenue
During
2023, we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier.
The various packages included different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms. The coin is delivered by a third-party
supplier. The sale of cryptocurrency packages was discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023.
During
2023, we recognized cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified
in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation
was to arrange for the third-parties to provide coin and protection (if applicable) to our customers and payment was received from our
customers at the time of order placement. All customers were given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we would record a customer
advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party
supplier to deliver coin and protection (if applicable), at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our supplier on our
books.
During 2024, we generated no revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages.
Mining
Equipment Repair Revenue
Through
our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, prior to June 30, 2023, we repaired broken mining equipment for sale to third-party customers.
Our mining equipment repair business was discontinued during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Prior
to June 30, 2023, we recognized miner repair revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration
specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance
obligation was to deliver the promised goods to our customers.
Revenue
generated for the year ended December 31, 20242025, was as follows:
Foreign revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were approximately $24.9 million while domestic revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $11.4 million.

All
statements in this Report that are not based on historical fact
are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements, which are based
on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and
expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking
terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,”
“should,” “could,” “seek,”
“intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “estimate,”
“anticipate” or other comparable terms.
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs and
assumptions and information currently available
to management and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which
may cause the actual results, performance,
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance,
or achievements expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements expect that we will be able to
expand the scope and scale of our
Conectiv network, despite the reductions in revenue experienced by this business segment during 2025,
and followed by the more significant
contraction in the business that occurred during Q1 and Q2 of 2026. These expectations assume that our recent
Q1 2026 onboarding of certain
other direct selling networks will result in material additional sales growth, even though no such sales growth was experienced during
Q 2 of 2026, nor can such sales growth be assured as these other direct selling networks that we onboarded consist solely of independent
distributors who are not contractually
or otherwise required to sell any Conectiv products or services. Our forward-looking statements
also assume that we may be able to monetize
certain of our private investment units at a profit, even though we have neither secured
the formal written consent of our SPV sponsor
to that effect; neither have we secured any formal commitment for the purchase of those
units. Growth is also expected from our Manufacturing
and Development of Health, Beauty and Wellness Products Segment, as we continue
to seek out and onboard additional products for sale,
even though we have over time experienced reduction in sales of that business unit
and have no customer or other sales commitments upon
which to base that expectation. Our forward-looking statements also expect that
we will ultimately be able to develop retail brokerage
operations at Opencash, although itwe have previously forecasted the commencement
of operations and that unit is currentlystill in the pre-revenue and early stage of its operations. We plan to do this by, among others, investing
investing the funds we believe are necessary to develop the infrastructure necessary to achieve retail operations. This includes, among others,
others, the onboarding of customer support personnel and software developers, the development and implementation of a marketing strategy, the
the securing of necessary securities clearing arrangements, and the continued development of the online Opencash trading platform and completing
completing its integration with the proprietary algorithmic trading platform we acquired in September 2021. Despite our best efforts,
there can
be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives on a timely basis, if at all, as the development of an early-stage securities
securities brokerage business involves inherent regulatory and operational risks and uncertainties, including the uncertain ability of
us to integrate
the Opencash investment platform application with the proprietary algorithmic trading platform we acquired in September
2021, particularly
as the platform we acquired in 2021 has not been placed in commercial service since 2021; thus, any such integration
could be subject
to IT-related and commercial risks. Furthermore, all of our forward-looking statements presume that we will be able to
continue to operate
as a going concern in the long-term. As noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended MarchJune 31,
30, 2026, should we be unable
to monetize all or a portion of our private investments at the amounts we believe are reflective of market value,
and should our strategic
initiatives fail within the immediate term to mitigate our losses from operations or otherwise achieve their targeted objectives, then
in the absence of our ability to access additional debt or equity capital, our ability to sustain our operations in the long-term as
a a
going concern may be subject to doubt. More information on potential factors that could affect our financial results is included from
time to time in our public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent
Annual Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements made in this
release release
speak only as of the date of this release, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements to reflect
actual actual
results or changes in expectations, except as otherwise required by law.
We
operate a diversified series of business units across key sectors, including a direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) marketing platform
designed to promote, sell, and distribute its products and services through a global network of independent distributors directly to
end users without reliance on traditional retail intermediaries; a manufacturing, marketing, and sales division focused on proprietary
over-the-counter aesthetics, health, nutrition and cognitive wellness products for distribution across wholesale and retail markets through

Three
Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025
During
the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026,
our financial results were adversely affected as we experiencedcontinued to experience significant headwinds
across virtually all of our operating
segments. Most significantly, our DTC marketing platform experienced a year-over-year 65%73% reduction
in quarterly revenue, from $8.8
$7.8 million to $3.1$2.1 million, which we believe is directly attributable to a contraction of our European marketing
network in response to
the December 2025 formal administrative decision issued by UOKiK, Poland’s Office of Competition and Consumer
Protection. Our
Q1 Q2 2026 results were further impacted by a year-over-year 36% decrease in mining revenue, from $0.9 million $0.6 million, reflecting
industry-wide pressure on bitcoin pricing, as accompanied by higher costs of energy production. The results were additionally
impacted by a year-over-year82% decrease in Health and Wellness product sales of 26%,sales, from $0.4 $1.3
million to $0.3$0.2 million. Collectively,
the decline in business segment revenue contributed to a consolidated net loss from operations
of $2.8$2.1 million for the quarter,
compared to net lossincome from operations of $0.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
In
response to these trends, during Q4 2025,2025 and Q1 2026, we announced a strategic transition of our direct-to-consumer business
unit toward
a more diversified operating platform which is expected to integrate our health and wellness and consumer products offerings,
with our
existing financial education products and services offerings. Concurrent with this transition, we continue to seek growth opportunities.
Towards that end,Also, during the fourth quarter of 2025 and subsequent to the close of the firstsecond quarter of 2026, we commenced the expansion
of our direct-selling networks through the onboarding of two additional selling
networks. WeDespite expectour expectations that these onboardinginitiatives eventswere to offer the
potentialexpected to expand our global distributor network, diversify our revenue
base, and supplement the network capacity and revenue streams
adverselystreams, impactedno such expansion or improvement in recentour quarters.operations has, thus far, occurred
in 2026.
In
addition, in response to the UOKiK decision, we continue to take active steps to address the findings, including
appealing the decision
and continuing our operations in Poland, as we remainsremain committed to operating in Poland in full compliance with
applicable laws. Based
on our analysis of the applicable legal standards and our review of sales activity within Poland, in which the
predominant portion of
revenue is derived from membership sales driven by our members, we believe that the Conectiv direct selling business
operating within
Poland complies with all applicable legal standards, and we will continue to challenge the conclusions reached by UOKiK
to the extent
permitted within the Polish legal system.
Operating
costs decreased $3,760,921$4,228,728 or (36%48%), from $10,443,132$8,761,107 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, to $6,682,211$4,532,379 for the three months ended
MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The decrease can be explained by a reduction in commissions of $3.4$2.9 million, which was a result of a decrease in our membership
membership revenue, a reduction in generalsalary and administrative expenses of $320 thousand,related, which was
a result of decreases in credit card
processing fees due to the decreases in our membership revenue, decreases in costs related to our mining operations, a reduction in advertising,

We
recorded other expense of $1,101,070$912,692 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, which was an increase of $836,297,$1,295,819, or 316%,338%, from the prior
prior year’s other expenseincome of $264,773.$383,127. The change is due to an increase in the unrealized loss on digital assets in the current period
of $1.1$647 millionthousand compared to a lossgain of $220$399 thousand in the prior year and a realized loss on digital assets in the current period of
$25$27 thousand compared to a realized lossgain in the prior year of $13$133 thousand.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Revenues
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our financial results were adversely affected as we continued to experience significant headwinds across virtually all of our operating segments. Most significantly, our DTC marketing platform experienced a year-over-year 71% reduction in revenue, from $16.6 million to $4.8 million, which we believe is directly attributable to a contraction of our European marketing network in response to the December 2025 formal administrative decision issued by UOKiK, Poland’s Office of Competition and Consumer Protection. Our 2026 results were further impacted by a year-over-year 70% decrease in Health and Wellness product sales, from $1.7 million to $0.5 million. Collectively, the decline in business segment revenue contributed to a consolidated net loss from operations of $4.3 million for first six months of 2026, compared to net income from operations of $0.6 million for the first half of 2025.
In response to these trends, during Q4 2025 and Q1 of 2026, we announced a strategic transition of our direct-to-consumer business unit toward a more diversified operating platform, which is expected to integrate our health and wellness and consumer products offerings, with our existing financial education products and services offerings. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2025 and subsequent to the close of the first quarter of 2026, we commenced the expansion of our direct-selling networks through the onboarding of two additional selling networks. Despite our expectations that these initiatives were expected to offer the potential to expand our global distributor network, diversify our revenue base, and supplement the network capacity and revenue streams, no such expansion or improvement in our operations has, thus far, occurred in 2026.
In addition, in response to the UOKiK decision, we continue to take active steps to address the findings, including appealing the decision and continuing our operations in Poland, as we remain committed to operating in Poland in full compliance with applicable laws. Based on our analysis of the applicable legal standards and our review of sales activity within Poland, in which the predominant portion of revenue is derived from membership sales driven by our members, we believe that the Conectiv direct selling business operating within Poland complies with all applicable legal standards, and we will continue to challenge the conclusions reached by UOKiK to the extent permitted within the Polish legal system.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs decreased $7,602,439 or (43%), from $17,713,171 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $10,110,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease can be explained by a reduction in commissions of $6.3 million, which was a result of a decrease in our membership revenue, a reduction in salary and related, which was a result of a decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to certain directors and executive officers of the Company’s management team forfeiting unvested stock options, and a decrease of $1.1 million in cost of sales and service due to decrease in membership revenue and health and wellness product sales. These decreases were partly offset by an increase in professional fees and general and administrative expenses.
Other Income and Expenses
We recorded other expense of $2,081,006 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which was an increase of $2,136,116, or 3,876%, from the prior year’s other income of $55,110. The change is due to an increase in the unrealized loss on digital assets in the current period of $1.7 million compared to a gain of $179 thousand in the prior year and a realized loss on digital assets in the current period of $52 thousand compared to a realized gain in the prior year of $120 thousand.
During
the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we recorded a net loss from operations of $2,785,965$4,294,329 and a net loss of $3,889,068.$7,103,509. During that period,
we were able to meet our short-and long-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements.
At June 30, 2026, we had available liquidity, including a working capital deficit of $881 thousand (including $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents), and a digital asset balance at a fair value of $4,016,380. These amounts were sufficient to sustain our losses from operations during the first half of the year. Should our losses continue at this level for more than the short-term, in the absence of our ability to access additional capital, our ability to sustain our operations in the long-term as a going concern will be subject to doubt.
While we do not believe that our operating losses will continue at this level for the longer term, based on recent efforts we have made to, among others, expand our direct selling network, diversify our revenue base, transition our direct-to-consumer business unit toward a more diversified operating platform, wind-down our bitcoin mining operations starting July 2026, and implement broad-based cost-cutting initiatives,, even though our operations have not yet reflected any such expected improvement. However, notwithstanding the time it may take to reflect an improvement in operations, we still believe that we will be able to sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months since, during August 2026, we have been able to monetize our private investments, and at amounts that are significantly appreciated above our purchase price. See “NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.”
At March 31, 2026, we had available
liquidity including working capital of $1,631,521 (including $4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents), and a digital asset balance
at a fair value of $4,990,029. In the judgement of management, this level of liquidity, is sufficient to sustain our operations, for
the short-term. We cannot, however, determine whether the trends we experienced during the first quarter of 2026 are temporary or
will continue for the foreseeable future. Neither can we assure that, despite our best efforts, whether the steps we are taking to
mitigate our recent trend towards decreasing results of operations, will be successful and whether we will achieve our strategic
objectives. While we do not believe that our operating losses will continue at this level for the long term, should that occur, we
still believe that we will be able to sustain our operations for at least the next twelve months based upon our belief that during
that period we will be able to monetize our private investments, and at amounts that are significantly appreciated above our
purchase price.
Even absent the sale of our private investments at
a profit, we believe that we can mitigate, to the best extent possible, our recent operating losses and eroding revenue base, through
the adoption of strategic initiatives that are designed to contain costs and address certain of the eroding economics that we have been
experiencing in operations. Primarily, we have recently started to expand our direct selling network through the onboarding of two additional
selling networks. We believe these networks can offer the potential to expand our global distributor network, diversify our revenue base,
and supplement the network capacity and revenue streams adversely impacted in recent quarters. Next, we are continuing our efforts to
transition our direct-to-consumer business unit toward a more diversified operating platform which is expected to integrate our health
and wellness and consumer products offerings. We have also implemented broad-based cost-cutting initiatives, including a plan to wind-down
our bitcoin mining operations starting July 2026, should the economics of that business unit not recover to an acceptable level. Furthermore,
we have filed an appeal in the matter involving UOKiK as we remain committed to operating in Poland in full compliance with applicable
laws.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation
S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results that may be expected for our year ending December 31, 2026, as will be included in the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2026. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2025.
Most
of our revenue is generated by membership sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. In some cases, customers use earned
commissions to pay or partially pay for a membership. We recognize membership revenue in accordance with ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606-10”), where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract
contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance
obligation is to
provide our tools, products, and content over a fixed membership period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably
over the membership
period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the membership period subsequent to each reporting
date. Additionally, we
offer a designated trial period to first-time membership customers, during which a full refund can be
requested if a customer does not
wish to continue with the membership. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection
is not probable until that time has
passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and
estimated credit card chargebacks. As of March 31,June
30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, our deferred revenues for membership revenue were
$588,754 $476,622 and $821,903, respectively.
Mining
Revenue
We
generate revenue from mining Bitcoin. The Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract, as amended from
time to time, with the mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by
either party without penalty. Further, since the contract is continuously renewing, second by second, the mining contract is considered
to have a duration of less than 24 hours for accounting purposes. The Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when
the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, we are entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share
payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which calculates our share of block rewards, transaction fees, and mining pool operator
fees. We are entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator.
Providing
computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving
a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only
performance obligation in the Company’s contract with the mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives
is net of a contractually agreed upon mining pool operator fee charged and kept by the mining pool operator and is non-cash, in the form
of Bitcoin. Given that the contract is continuously renewing, and the duration is considered to be less than 24 hours, the Company measures
the transaction consideration at fair value on the date Bitcoin is received. The consideration is variable. The amount of consideration
recognized is constrained to the amount of consideration received, which is when it is probable a significant reversal will not occur.
There is no significant financing component or risk of a significant revenue reversal in these transactions due to the performance obligations
and settlement of the transactions being on a daily basis.
Through
our wholly owned subsidiary, Renu Laboratories LLC, we generate revenue by manufacturing and selling health, beautybeauty, and wellness products.
We recognize health and wellness product sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10. The Company’s performance obligation is complete
when control of the promised goods is transferred to a customer, at which time the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects
the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company’s terms for the sale are based on free
on board
(FOB) shipping point, where the control passes to the customer once the product leaves our warehouse. The Company determines
collectability collectability
by requiring certain customers to pay before control is transferred and by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring
customer customer
accounts receivable balances. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, deposits collected from customers for orders to be
filled filled
at a future date were $99,421$91,566 and $108,061, respectively, which are recorded as deferred revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In
January 2026, the Company started selling a proprietary brand of coffee. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver the
coffee to customers.
Therefore, revenue is recognized once delivery occurs. Customers remit payment at the time of order placement, therefore
payment received
by the Company prior to coffee delivery is recorded as deferred revenue. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had $5,006$30,180 of
deferred revenue
for its coffee sales. Shipping and handling costs that occur are paid by the customer and are recorded as revenue. The
Company has a
policy to provide a refund on any product returned by the customer.
