Director designation rights may allow certain stockholders to influence our board and corporate actions, and their interests may differ from those of other stockholders.
Pursuant to the three share purchase agreements entered into by the Company with three investors and Hok C. Chan, our Chief Executive Officer, as the seller, dated December 3, 2025, December 19, 2025, and January 27, 2026, each investor has the right to designate one director to our six-member board of directors, and the buyers have designated three directors who currently serve on our board. See “Item 1. Business—Recent Developments.” As a result, each such investor may be able to influence our board’s deliberations and decisions through its director designee. The interests of these investors and their director designees may differ from or conflict with the interests of our other stockholders, which could affect our corporate governance and our decisions regarding financings, strategic transactions and other corporate actions. We cannot predict whether, or the extent to which, these investors will coordinate their actions, if at all.
Our obligations to offer participation rights in future issuances could limit our financing flexibility and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
Pursuant to the three share purchase agreements entered into by the Company with three investors and Hok C. Chan, our Chief Executive Officer, as the seller, dated December 3, 2025, December 19, 2025, and January 27, 2026, we have granted three investors participation rights that entitle each investor to purchase up to its pro rata portion of any “New Securities” that we may, from time to time, propose to issue or sell. See “Item 1. Business—Recent Developments.” The maximum number of New Securities that may be purchased by each investor is generally based on such investor’s ownership percentage immediately prior to the issuance (i.e., the number of shares owned by the investor (or its designee) divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding, in each case immediately prior to the issuance, multiplied by the total number of New Securities proposed to be issued). These participation rights could reduce the pool of securities available to new investors, complicate or delay financing transactions, increase transaction costs, or require us to structure financings in ways that are less advantageous to us or our stockholders. If we need to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on acceptable terms, or at all, and any inability to raise capital when needed could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our capital was loaned to a third-party borrower, and if that borrower delays repayment or defaults, our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
On January 27, 2025, we entered into a loan receivable agreement with Golden Bridge Capital Management Limited (“Golden”), pursuant to which we loaned Golden $6.0 million as a temporary debt investment. The loan was later amended to provide for minimum principal repayments of $1.0 million by January 2026, $2.0 million by January 2027 and $3.0 million by January 2028, together with accrued interest at an annual rate of 7%. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received aggregate principal repayments of $1.0 million and recognized interest income of $365,779, but as of December 31, 2025, $5.0 million remained outstanding. If the debt is not repaid in accordance with the foregoing schedule, an additional penalty interest of 5% per annum will apply to any overdue amounts. Golden is not a credit rated lender.
As a result, we are exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to this investment. Golden’s ability to repay the loan, including principal and interest, depends on its financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and ongoing compliance with the loan terms. If Golden experiences financial difficulty, delays repayment, fails to make required payments, or otherwise defaults on its obligations, we may not receive timely payments or recover the full value of the investment. Because a substantial amount of our capital remains tied up in this receivable, any delay or nonpayment could reduce our liquidity, limit our flexibility to fund operations, expansion initiatives, equipment purchases or other business needs, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in trade policies, tariffs, global sourcing patterns and commodity flows, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may materially adversely affect customer demand for our services, shipment volumes and operating results.
Our business is significantly influenced by global trade dynamics, including U.S. and foreign trade policies, tariffs, duties, sanctions, geopolitical tensions, international sourcing patterns and demand for export and import commodities. These factors can affect the volume, timing and destination of cargo flows, alter customer shipping behavior, and create significant volatility in the markets we serve.
Our revenue are derived from truckload services supporting the recycling export supply chain and related import activities, including shipments of waste paper, scrap metal, logs and import freight. Demand in these markets can fluctuate significantly based on changes in export demand, domestic consumption, commodity pricing, trade restrictions and customer inventory decisions. For example, in 2025, demand for waste paper shipments declined, while import and scrap metal shipment volumes increased, reflecting changes in trade conditions, customer demand and commodity flows. There can be no assurance that favorable conditions in any commodity segment will continue or that growth in one segment will offset weakness in another.
Changes in trade regulations, tariffs or other policies may cause supply chain disruptions, reduce import or export activity, increase volatility in shipping volumes, negatively affect our customers’ businesses and shipping needs, and could further escalate input costs for our suppliers and equipment manufacturers, raising the cost of revenue equipment used by us and our owner-operators. Similarly, trade-related disruptions or geopolitical tensions may contribute to increased fuel prices. While we may attempt to pass these increased costs through to our customers via rate adjustments or fuel surcharges, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so fully or in a timely manner. Our customers may reduce their orders from us, which could negatively affect our business, profitability and operating results. We are closely monitoring these developments and evaluating strategies to mitigate potential impacts.
Furthermore, if trade-policy developments, geopolitical events, or shifts in domestic or international demand reduce shipping volumes, change commodity flows away from the ports and markets we serve, compress pricing, or otherwise disrupt our customers’ businesses, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade in general. The new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on U.S. goods. Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or sectors thereof, our industry and the demand for our transport services, and as a result, could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be successful in managing our
growth or implement our business strategies.
Many of our business strategies require time,
significant management and financial resources and successful implementation. Consequently, we may be unable to effectively and successfully
implement our business strategies. We also cannot ensure that our operating results, including our operating margins, will not be materially
adversely affected by future changes in and expansion of our business, including the expected geographic expansion of our services in
the United States and overseas, or by changes in economic conditions. Our results of operations may be materially adversely affected by
a failure to further penetrate our existing customer base, cross-sell our services, secure new customer opportunities and manage the operations
and expenses of new or growing services. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any of our business strategies.
Even if we are successful in executing our business strategies, we still may not achieve our goals.
Several of the above factors were evident during
the COVID-19 pandemic in the freight environment, which led to labor shortage,shortages, inflationary pricing, and severe disruption to the global
supply chain. Similar conditions in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of of
operations.
On October 1, 2024, dockworkers across ports
from from
Maine to Texas on the East and Gulf Coasts initiated a strike, citing concerns over wages and the need for protections against increased
automation. This strike was temporarily resolved on October 3, 2024, after the union and U.S. Maritime Alliance reached a tentative deal
on wages and agreed to extend the existing master contract until January 15, 2025 to allow for further negotiations on unresolved issues.
On January 8, 2025, the parties reached a tentative agreement for a six-year contract. However, should negotiations fail and the strike
resume, it could pose
a major disruption to the flow of goods, materially restricting both imports and exports through these key Eastern
and Gulf ports, particularly
if the strike extends for weeks or even longer. Such an extended disruption to supply chains, if happens,
could have significant ripple
effects on the U.S. economy, and our operations could be materially adversely affected if our customers
suspend exporting waste paper,
scrap metal and other commodities we transport to ports for an extended period. At this stage, we cannot
be certain whether the strike
will resume, how long it might last, or the extent of the impact it may have on our business.
We may not be successful in managing our growth or implementing our business strategies.
Many of our business strategies require time, significant management and financial resources, and successful implementation. Consequently, we may be unable to effectively and successfully implement our business strategies. We also cannot ensure that our operating results, including our operating margins, will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in and expansion of our business, including the expected geographic expansion of our services in the United States and overseas, or by changes in economic conditions. Our results of operations may be materially adversely affected by a failure to further penetrate our existing customer base, cross-sell our services, secure new customer opportunities and manage the operations and expenses of new or growing services. For example, in 2025 our revenues increased modestly, while our cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses increased substantially, and our gross margin declined. There is no assurance that we will be successful in achieving any of our business strategies. Even if we are successful in executing our business strategies, we still may not achieve our goals.
A substantial portion of our business and revenue derive from our brokerage model, where we support owner-operators to grow their fleets within our umbrella. Such a business model and the use of owner-operators expose us to different risks that a traditional fleet ownership and management business may not experience.
We are in the process of developing a scalable
brokerage model, specializing in converting drivers into owner-operators by means of training and capturedcapturing market share. These owner-operators
are encouraged and supported by us in order to grow their fleets within our umbrella. We assist with staffing their vehicles and ensuring
DOT compliance for all members of our team. For more information on our relationship with owner-operators and our contractual rights
to to
the use of trucks in our fleet, see also “Item 1. Business—Employees and Human Capital—Owner-Operators,”
and “Item 1. Business—Equipment We Use.”
We rely in part on independent contractor drivers in our operations, and our cost of revenue includes costs associated with independent contractor drivers. Federal and state agencies, legislatures and courts have in recent years increased their scrutiny of worker classification practices, including in the trucking industry. The legal and regulatory standards applicable to the classification of workers as employees or independent contractors continue to evolve and may vary significantly by jurisdiction and by the facts and circumstances of each relationship. As a result, we cannot assure you that our independent contractor relationships will not be challenged or recharacterized in the future.
Tax and other regulatory authorities, as well
as independent contractors themselves, have increasingly asserted that independent contractor drivers in the trucking industry are employees
rather than independent contractors, and our classification of independent contractors may become the subject of audits by such authorities.
Federal legislation has been introduced in the past that would make it easier for tax and other authorities to reclassify independent
contractors as employees, including legislation to increase the recordkeeping requirements for those that engage independent contractor
drivers and to increase the penalties for companies who misclassify their employees and are found to have violated employees’ overtime
and/or wage requirements. Additionally, federal legislators have sought to abolish the current safe harbor allowing taxpayers meeting
certain criteria to treat individuals as independent contractors if they are following a long-standing, recognized practice, to extend
the Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”) to independent contractors and to impose notice requirements based on employment
or independent contractor status and fines for failure to comply. Some states have put initiatives in place to increase their revenue
from items such as unemployment, workers’ compensation and income taxes, and a reclassification of independent contractors as employees
would help states with this initiative. Further, class actions and other lawsuits have been filed against certain members of our industry,
including us, seeking to reclassify independent contractors as employees for a variety of purposes, including workers’ compensation
and health care coverage.
On January 12, 2024, two drivers, Rainey Mejia
Rodriguez and Frank Santana Rodriguez (the “plaintiffs”), filed a class action lawsuit against the Company’s subsidiary,
Toppoint Inc, and certain other parties, including Hok C. Chan, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, alleging misclassification
of truck drivers
as independent contractors rather than employees. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly situated individuals
who provided
services in New Jersey from January 2018 through the date of the complaint. The complaint asserts violations of the New
Jersey Wage Payment
Law and the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, including claims of unlawful wage deductions and failure to pay overtime.
The plaintiffs sought
compensatory damages, treble and/or liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief, without specifying
a dollar amount
of damages. On July 27, 2024, August 26, 2024, and November 22, 2024, the Court issued multiple orders dismissing the
case for lack of
prosecution. Upon a motion to reinstate the case filed on January 15, 2025 by the plaintiffs, the Court reinstated the
case on January
31, 2025. WeOn May 1, 2025, Toppoint Inc filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and a motion hearing was held
on July 3, 2025. On June 6, 2025, the court dismissed the case without prejudice against Mr. Hok C. Chan for lack of prosecution. Although
we believe the claims are without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against them.them, we cannot predict the outcome of this
matter or similar claims. An adverse outcome in this litigation or in any future misclassification challenge could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the independent contractors with whom we or our owner-operators contract are determined to be employees, we would incur more employee-related expenses, and we and/or our owner-operators would incur additional exposure under federal and state employer tax, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment and tort laws, including for prior periods, as well as potential liability for employee benefits and tax withholdings, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Taxing and other regulatory authorities and courts
apply a variety of standards in their determination of independent contractor status. The Department of Labor has issued the rule entitled
“Employee or Independent Contractor Classification Under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” effective March 11, 2024. This rule
addresses how to analyze whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor under the FLSA. The “economic reality test”
under this rule focuses on the economic realities of the worker’s relationship with the potential employer and whether the worker
is either economically dependent on the potential employer for work or in business for themself. The economic reality test looks at, in
the totality of circumstances, multiple factors, including (1) opportunity for profit or loss depending on managerial skill, (2) investments
by the worker and the employer, (3) permanence of the work relationship, (4) nature and degree of control, (5) whether the work performed
is integral to the employer’s business, and (6) skill and initiative. Additional relevant factors may also be considered in determining
the worker’s status. This new rule makes it more likely that a worker will be classified as an employee. If the independent contractors
with whom we or our owner-operators contract are determined to be employees, we and/or our owner-operators would incur additional exposure
under federal and state tax, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment and tort laws, including for prior
periods, as well as potential liability for employee benefits and tax withholdings, and our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In recent years, various factors such as the
geopolitical geopolitical
instability in Ukraine and Gaza and the COVID-19 pandemic caused great financial instability in the global economy, which
resulted in,
among othersother things, the diesel fuel price to surge to record high in the United States. CostThe cost of diesel fuel represents
a significant
expense for our owner-operators which we draw on to provide trucking services and solutions to our clients. Diesel fuel
prices fluctuate
greatly due to factors beyond our control, such as political events, terrorist activities, armed conflicts, depreciation
of the dollar
against other currencies and weather, such as hurricanes, and other natural or man-made disasters, each of which may lead
to an increase
in the cost of fuel. Fuel prices also are affected by the rising demand in developing countries, and could be adversely
impacted by diminished
drilling activity and by the use of crude oil and oil reserves for other purposes. Such events may lead not only
to increases in fuel
prices, but also to fuel shortages and disruptions in the fuel supply chain. Because our operations are dependent
upon diesel fuel, significant
diesel fuel cost increases, shortages or supply disruptions could materially and adversely affect our operating
results and financial
condition.
Our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein). Our information and electronic data interchange systems are used for receiving and planning loads, dispatching drivers and other capacity providers, billing customers and load tracking and storing the data related to the foregoing activities. We also maintain information security policies to protect our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein) from cybersecurity breaches and threats, such as hackers, malware and viruses; however, such policies cannot ensure the protection of our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein). Recently, more jurisdictions are enacting data privacy legislation that place higher standards for compliance, such as the GDPR, CCPA, etc. If we are unable to prevent system violations or other unauthorized access to our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein), we could be subject to significant fines and lawsuits and our reputation could be damaged, or our business operations could be interrupted, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and business operations.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated
from a small number of major customers, the loss of, or significant reduction of business with, one or more of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our top ten customers, based on revenue, accounted
for approximately 48%59% and 49%58% of our total revenue, respectively. AThe substantialmajority portion of our freight is from customers in the waste
paper products industry. Others include scrap metal export and general freight import clients. As such, our volumes are largely dependent
on a well-functioning supply chainchain, export demand and exportinbound demand.ship volume. In the event
of a reduction in or termination of our services
by one or more of our major customers, we could be required to replace the volumes elsewhere
at uncertain rates and volumes, suffer reduced
equipment utilization or lose our owner-operators. Failure to retain our existing customers,
or enter into relationships with new customers,
each on acceptable terms, could materially impact our business, financial condition, results
of operations and ability to meet our current
and long-term financial forecasts.
Economic conditions and capital markets may materially adversely affect our customers and their ability to remain solvent. Our customers’ financial difficulties can negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition, especially if they were to delay or default on payments to us. As of December 31, 2025, we had accounts receivable, net of $1.40 million, and we maintain an allowance for expected credit losses based on management’s assessment of collectability. Generally, we do not have contractual relationships that guarantee any minimum volumes with our customers, and we cannot assure you that our customer relationships will continue as presently in effect. There is no assurance any of our customers will continue to utilize our services, renew our existing contracts, if any, or continue at the same volume levels.
We have engaged in, and may continue to
inengage in, transactions with related parties, and such transactions present possible conflicts of interest that could have an adverse effect on
our business and results of operations.
We have entered intointo, and may continue to enter
certaininto, transactions with Mr.our Hokdirectors, Cexecutive Chan,officers, principal stockholders and their affiliates or family members. These transactions
have included, among other things, office leases with related parties, payments to a family member of our Chief Executive Officer andfor

see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,
and Director Independence.” WeAlthough we believe the
terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection
with these transactions were comparable to terms
available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions, we cannot assure you that
transactions.this is the case, or that future related-party transactions will be on terms as favorable to us as those that we could obtain from unaffiliated
third parties.
The Company has
incurred indebtedness and
may incur other debt in the future, which maycould adversely affect its financial condition and future financial
results.
The Company borrows funds from commercial banksbanks, financial institutions
and affiliates from
time to time to support its working capital needs and other general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2025,
we had outstanding loans payable consisting of, among other things, a truck loan, an Economic Injury Disaster Loan and a term loan with
M&T Bank. Existing debt, and any debt that we may incur
in the future, may adversely affect our financial condition and future financial
results by, among other things:
In addition, certain of our borrowings are secured by specific assets. For example, our truck loan is secured by certain chassis, and our M&T Bank term loan is collateralized by our equipment. If we default on these or other obligations, the applicable lenders may have the right to accelerate the indebtedness, foreclose on the collateral, or otherwise exercise remedies against us, which could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our financial condition.
We maintain insurance with licensed insurance carriers and our independent contractor drivers are covered by our insurance. See “Item 1. Business – Insurance.” However, we self-insure or maintain a high deductible for a portion of our claims exposure resulting from workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, cargo and property damage claims.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash from operations or obtain financing on favorable terms could impair our liquidity and ability to execute our business strategy.
Our business requires sufficient cash to fund operations, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments and our growth initiatives. Although we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and equity financing from completed IPO during 2025, we incurred a net loss and used cash in operating activities. We also used substantial cash in investing activities during 2025, including for a note receivable and other investment-related expenditures. As a result, if we were unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, manage our expenditures, or recover amounts deployed in investments in a timely manner, our liquidity could be adversely affected. We would need to seek alternative sources of capital, including equity or debt financing, to meet our capital requirements, and maintain our ability to execute our business strategies. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations or obtain financing on favorable terms in the future, our ability to support our owner-operators’ growth and retain such owner-operators may reduce, and our ability to execute our business strategies may be curtailed, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and profitability.
Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties
or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may materially adversely affect customer demand for
our services.
Our business is significantly influenced by global
trade dynamics. If the U.S. continues to impose new tariffs, this may cause supply chain disruptions and could further escalate input
costs for our suppliers and equipment manufacturers, raising the cost of revenue equipment used by us and our owner-operators. Similarly,
trade-related disruptions or geopolitical tensions may contribute to increased fuel prices. While we may attempt to pass these increased
costs through to our customers via rate adjustments or fuel surcharges, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so fully or in
a timely manner. Our customers may reduce their orders from us, which could negatively affect our business, profitability and operating
results. We are closely monitoring these developments and evaluating strategies to mitigate potential impacts.
Furthermore, as a result of policy changes and government proposals,
there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade in general. The new tariffs and other changes in U.S.
trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing
trade sanctions on U.S. goods. Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or sectors thereof, our industry and
the demand for our transport services, and as a result, could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted
operation of our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein). Our information and electronic
data interchange systems are used for receiving and planning loads, dispatching drivers and other capacity providers, billing customers
and load tracking and storing the data related to the foregoing activities. We also maintain information security policies to protect
our systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein) from cybersecurity breaches and threats,
such as hackers, malware and viruses; however, such policies cannot ensure the protection of our systems, networks and other information
technology assets (and the data contained therein). Recent, more jurisdictions are enacting data privacy legislation that place higher
standards for compliance, such as the GDPR, CCPA, etc. If we are unable to prevent system violations or other unauthorized access to our
systems, networks and other information technology assets (and the data contained therein), we could be subject to significant fines and
lawsuits and our reputation could be damaged, or our business operations could be interrupted, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial performance and business operations.
We are highly dependent upon the services of
certain certain
key employees, including our executive officers. The loss of any of their services could negatively impact our operations and
future profitability.
Inadequate succession planning or the unexpected departure of key executive officers could cause substantial disruption
to our business operations,
deplete our institutional knowledge base and erode our competitive advantage. Additionally, we must continue
to recruit, develop and retain
skilled and experienced personnel if we are to realize our goal of expanding our operations and continuing
our growth, including internationally.
Failure to recruit, develop and retain a core group of operational personnel could have a materially
adverse effect on our business.
We maintain insurance with licensed insurance
carriers and our independent contractor drivers are covered by our insurance. Currently, we hold commercial general liability policy for
bodily injury, property damage, personal and advertising injury, medical payments, and pollution liability, with limits up to $2,000,000
aggregate, while occurrence-based and claims-made coverages of a $1,000,000 limit per occurrence. We also carry auto liability coverage
with a combined single limit per accident of $1,000,000, as well as workers compensation and employer’s liability coverage. However,
we self-insure or maintain a high deductible for a portion of our claims exposure resulting from workers’ compensation, auto liability,
general liability, cargo and property damage claims.
As a public company, we are required to comply
with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory
requirements may be time-consuming and result in increased costs to us and could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition
and operating results.
Our inability to generate sufficient cash
from operations or obtain financing on favorable terms could affect our profitability.
If we were unable to generate sufficient cash
from operations, we would need to seek alternative sources of capital, including equity or debt financing, to meet our capital requirements,
and maintain our ability to execute our business strategies. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations
or obtain financing on favorable terms in the future, our ability to support our owner-operators’ growth and retain such owner-operators
may reduce, and our ability to execute our business strategies may be curtailed, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on
our business and profitability.
Historically, acquisitions have not been a significant
part of our growth strategy. From inception to date, we didhave not completecompleted any significant acquisitions. We may not be successful in
identifying, identifying,
negotiating or consummating any future acquisitions. If we decide to acquire other companies to stay competitive, we may
not successfully
integrate these businesses or achieve the synergies and operating results anticipated in connection with these acquisitions.
The continuing
trend toward consolidation in the trucking industry may result in the acquisitions of smaller carriers by large carriers
that gain market
share and other competitive advantages through such acquisitions. If we fail to make or successfully execute future
acquisitions, our
growth rate could be materially and adversely affected.
If
we fail to implement and maintain an
effective system of internal controls to remediate our significantmaterial deficienciesweaknesses in financial reporting,
our ability to report our results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Prior to the initial public offering completed
in January 2025, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control
over financial reporting. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements included in this report, we and our independent
registered public accounting firm identified significantmaterial deficienciesweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

financial reporting. Had we performed
a formal assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed
an audit of our internal control over financial reporting,
additional deficiencies may have been identified.
We have engaged external financial consultant
with U.S. GAAP experience to help our management in financial reporting processes and are in the process of developing and implementing
a comprehensive set of processes and internal controls to timely and appropriately (i) identify transactions that may be subject to complex
U.S. GAAP accounting treatment, (ii) analyze the transactions in accordance with the relevant U.S. GAAP, and (iii) review the accounting
technical analysis. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the significantmaterial deficienciesweaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting. Our failure to correct the significantmaterial deficienciesweaknesses or our failure to discover and address any other deficiencies
could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements
and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could significantly
hinder our ability to prevent fraud.
We are subject to regulation at the federal level
and at the state level. We may incur additional expenses associated with state wage, driver meal and rest break regulation.regulations. In addition,
we operate in the United States pursuant to federal operating authority granted by the DOT. Our owner-operators and other independent
contractor drivers also must comply with the safety and fitness regulations of the DOT, implemented through the FMCSA, including those
relating to CSA safety performance and measurements, drug and alcohol testing and Hours of Service. Weight and equipment dimensions also
are subject to government regulations. We also may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations relating to exhaust emissions,
drivers’ Hours of Service, ergonomics, collective bargaining, security at ports and other matters affecting safety or operating
methods. We, as well as our owner-operators and other independent contractor drivers, must comply with enacted governmental regulations
regarding safety, equipment, environmental protection and operating methods. Examples include regulation of equipment weight, equipment
dimensions, fuel emissions, driver Hours of Service, driver eligibility requirements, on-board reporting of operations and ergonomics.
We may also become subject to new or more restrictive regulations related to safety or operating methods, which could adversely affect
our owner-operators’ fleets and operations in those jurisdictions.
If current or future legislation or judicial decisions
deem that independent contractors (owner-operators) or contingent workers are equivalent to employees, we would incur more employee-related
expenses. We face a complex and increasingly stringent regulatory and statutory scheme relating to wages, classification of employees
and alternate work arrangements. Tax, federal and other regulatory authorities and private plaintiffs have argued that owner-operator
drivers in the trucking and transportation industries are employees, rather than independent contractors. If any cases are judicially
determined in a manner adverse to us or our businesses, there could be an adverse impact on our operations in the effected jurisdictions.
Taxing and other regulatory authorities and courts apply a variety of standards in their determination of independent contractor status.
If the owner-operator drivers we contract with are deemed employees, we would incur additional exposure under laws for federal and state
tax, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment and tort. The exposure could include prior period compensation,
as well as potential liability for employee benefits and tax withholdings.
The Tax Act as modified
by the CARES Act is unclear
in many respects and could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections, as well as interpretations
and implementing
regulations by the Treasury Department and IRS, any of which could lessen or increase certain adverse impacts of the legislation. In
In addition, it is unclear how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable
income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. Our analysis and interpretation of this legislation is preliminary
and ongoing and there may be material adverse effects resulting from the legislation that we have not yet identified. While some of the
changes made by the tax legislation may adversely affect us, other changes may be beneficial. We continue to work with our tax advisors
and auditors to determine the full impact that the recent tax legislation will have on us. We urge our investors to consult with their
legal and tax advisors with respect to such legislation and its potential effect on an investment in our common stock.
We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on the NYSE American.
Once our common stock is listed on the NYSE American, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate NYSE American’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of NYSE American’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from NYSE American may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
We have broad discretion over the use of the
net net
proceeds from this initial public offering, and our actual expenditures may differ significantly from our current plans. While we
intend intend
to allocate these funds for geographic expansion, investments in physical and IT infrastructure, sales and marketing efforts,
general general
working capital, and other corporate purposes, various factors may influence how we ultimately deploy these resources. For example,
we have loaned a substantial portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering ($6 million) to a third-party borrower as a temporary
debt investment. See “Item 1A Risk Factors - Operational and Industry Risks - A substantial portion of our capital was loaned to
a third-party borrower, and if that borrower delays repayment or defaults, our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations
could be materially adversely affected.” Shareholders will
not have the ability to evaluate or influence these decisions and must
rely on our management’s judgment. There is a risk that the
proceeds may be used in ways that do not align with shareholder expectations,
do not enhance profitability, or do not increase our share
price. Additionally, we may invest or allocate these funds in ways that do
not generate income or that may result in losses.
We
have loaned a substantial portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering ($6 million) to a third-party borrower as a long-term
debt investment. The debt is schedule to be repaid as follows: a minimum of $1,000,000 in principal by January 2026; an additional $2,000,000
in principal by January 2027; and remaining $3,000,000 in principal, together with all accrued interest at
an annual rate of 7%, by January 2028. If the debt is not repaid in accordance with the foregoing schedule, an additional penalty interest
of 5% per annum will apply to any overdue amounts. A copy of the loan agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report. This investment
subjects us to credit risk and may not yield the expected returns. The borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including principal
and interest, depends on its financial condition, cash flows, and ability to comply with the terms of the loan agreement. If the borrower
experiences financial difficulties or defaults on its obligations, we may not receive timely payments or recover the full value of the
investment, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. Additionally, because
the investment is long-term in nature, our capital will be tied up for an extended period, limiting our flexibility to deploy those funds
elsewhere. Please also see “Item 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 was $16,548,734 and $16,039,513, respectively, representing an increase of $509,221, or approximately 3%. The increase in revenue during 2025 was primarily attributable to growth in new commodity segments, particularly scrap metal and import freight. The Company’s expansion of direct relationships with leading exporters of scrap metal and importers contributed significantly to this increase in revenue.
The market for U.S. recovered paper exports has experienced significant volatility in recent years. According to industry reports citing U.S. Census Bureau trade data, U.S. recovered paper exports declined to approximately 13.3 million short tons in 2024, down 11% from 2023 and among the lowest annual export levels in recent years. Historically, China was the largest importer of U.S. recovered paper; however, following China’s restrictions on imports of unsorted waste paper, export demand has shifted to other markets, including India and certain Southeast Asian countries. In 2025, market conditions showed only a modest improvement in export volumes, with U.S. recovered paper exports totaling approximately 7.22 million metric tons during the first seven months of 2025, up about 4% from the comparable prior-year period. However, industry sources continued to characterize the 2025 market as soft, citing uneven overseas demand, weak pricing conditions for key grades such as OCC and mixed paper, and increased domestic consumption by U.S. mills, particularly on the West Coast. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 4,152 and 2,576 orders were completed, involving 13,232 and 16,641 loads, which amounted to approximately 496,200 and 465,948 tons of waste paper, respectively. While the number of loads decreased during the period, total volume increased by approximately 6.5%, suggesting a higher average volume per load. Revenue from paper decreased by $1,556,324, or 14.5%, to $9,153,668 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $10,709,992 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects a combination of changes in load count, shipment volume per load, shipment mix, and pricing during the period.
U.S. scrap metal export markets, particularly for non-ferrous commodities such as aluminum and copper, experienced continued demand in recent years despite periodic volatility driven by global pricing, trade policy changes and shifts in destination markets. Industry data indicates that U.S. aluminum scrap exports increased approximately 17% year over year in 2024 to about 2.4 million metric tons, reflecting sustained international demand for recycled metals, while copper scrap exports remained significant at approximately 957,000 metric tons with an estimated value of $4.5 billion. In 2025, export markets for non-ferrous scrap continued to exhibit volatility due to evolving trade policies and increased domestic demand for secondary metals; however, global demand for recyclable feedstock remained an important driver of export activity. Against this industry backdrop, the Company experienced substantial growth in its scrap metal export business during 2025, primarily attributable to the expansion of direct client relationships with leading scrap metal exporters. As a result of these relationships and continued demand for non-ferrous scrap exports, the Company increased export shipping volumes by 1,170 loads in 2025 compared to 2024, representing an approximate 94.1% increase year over year. This growth in shipment volume contributed to a 77.4% increase in revenue from scrap metal export activities, representing an additional $890,996, year-over-year, rising from $1,150,794 in 2024 to $2,041,790 in 2025. While global scrap metal export markets may continue to experience fluctuations due to economic conditions, trade policies and shifts in domestic consumption, the Company believes that its direct relationships with major scrap metal exporters and participation in the non-ferrous export supply chain position to benefit from continued demand for recycled metals in international markets.
U.S. containerized import markets experienced significant volatility in 2025 due in part to shifting tariff policies, changes in global sourcing patterns and uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy. Industry reports indicate that U.S. container import volumes fluctuated throughout 2025 as importers accelerated shipments earlier in the year to avoid anticipated tariffs, followed by periods of weaker demand as higher duties and inventory adjustments affected cargo flows. Overall, U.S. container imports in 2025 were estimated at approximately 25.4 million TEUs, slightly below 2024 levels, reflecting the impact of tariff uncertainty and cautious inventory management by importers. These conditions contributed to uneven monthly import volumes throughout the year, particularly for shipments originating from Asia.
Despite this volatility in import volumes, the Company experienced substantial growth in its import freight business during 2025. Import loads increased by 2,218 containers, rising to 6,275 loads in 2025 compared to 4,057 loads in 2024, representing growth of approximately 54.7% year over year. Correspondingly, import revenue increased to $4,837,876 in 2025 from $3,556,824 in 2024, representing a 36% increase and additional revenue of $1,281,052. The Company believes this growth was primarily driven by the expansion of direct relationships with importers and a strategic focus on working directly with cargo owners rather than entering rate-sensitive arrangements with price-cutting brokerage intermediaries. As a result, even during periods of tariff-driven market volatility and fluctuating container volumes, the Company was able to expand its share of import-related trucking activity and generate meaningful growth in both shipment volumes and revenue.
Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023 was $16,039,513 and $18,035,532, respectively, representing a decrease of 11%. The revenue decline in 2024 was mainly due to
an industry-wide decrease in scrap paper export volume. Despite receiving an increased number of orders, both the average load count per
order and the price per load decreased. To maintain activity across our fleet, we accepted a higher volume of smaller orders at lower
prices.
In 2024, U.S. waste paper exports reached a 19-year
low since 2004, driven by multi-year declines in shipments into key overseas markets. India was the largest buyer of U.S. waste paper
exports in 2023, while China, which used to be the largest importer, has significantly reduced purchases of U.S. recovered paper, following
its ban on imports of unsorted waste paper. The global recovered paper market exhibited a similar trend, with a strong upturn in 2021,
a collapse in the second half of 2022 and continued weakness throughout 2023. The decline in U.S. waste paper exports was partly due to
increased domestic mill production of recycled-content paper and board. The fluctuations in the market demand for U.S. waste paper exports
have a direct impact on our revenue. As demand decreases, our shipping volumes, rates and associated revenues decline. Conversely, improvements
in industry demand can lead to increased shipping activity and revenue growth. Given that domestic paper and board production has its
capacity limitations and recycling practices and sorting equipment at recycling facilities are anticipated to continue improving, we believe
that the U.S. waste paper exports will remain a mainstream commodity for our trucking services despite short-term volatility. For more
information, please see the “Industry—Waste Paper Export” section. However, it is difficult to precisely predict
when this downward trend will reverse. If the current trend persists and we are unable to find alternative sources of demand to replace
the lost demand for waste paper, our revenues will be materially adversely affected.
Despite the downturn in waste paper exports, waste
metal, forestry, and import other specifically plastic experienced growth in 2024. We expanded our presence in this space, which resulted
in a 46.1% increase in loads, totaling an additional 143 loads compared to 2023. Our revenues growth in this vertical was due to our established
relationships with a number of plastic waste customers. As paper export volume continued to show weakness, we strategically targeted the
existing client companies with the high volume of waste metal export and import containers. Opportunity was discovered from discussions
with their leadership by uncovering their prior year volume and the ability for us to provide a higher level of service. The export volume
for metal waste is subject to the market rate and countries buying the commodity. Import volume varies by the amount of demand from domestic
consumers and economic conditions. Prices on providing logistics services for these verticals are based on the supply of trucks servicing
the vertical, their availability to transport large quantities of containers in a short time, and established relationships with the customer.
Our slight decrease in revenue from Waste Paper, Waste Metal, and Import was mainly due to economic conditions. Our revenues from Forestry
were lower in 2024 compared to the past couple years, which experienced an unusual surge.
Our revenuesrevenue from the “Others” vertical,

Our revenuesrevenue consisted of the following during
the yearyears ended December 31, 2024,2025, and 20232024:
Costs of revenue
Our cost of revenue includes all directly related costs to deliver our services, which includes independent contractor drivers, insurance, truck maintenance costs, equipment rental, parking rent expense, dispatch service fees, depreciation and amortization and other directly related costs. Our costs of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $16,051,009 and $14,270,913, respectively, representing an increase of 12%. Of these amounts, approximately $1,429,524 and $1,881,265 were related to transactions with related parties. Such increase was in line with our increased revenue. The increase was primarily attributable to higher depreciation expenses, additional dispatch service costs incurred during the year, and higher parking rent expenses related to our leased parking facilities. Changes in trade policies and tariffs may also have an indirect impact on market conditions, including shipment volumes and input cost dynamics; however, no material impact was identified for the period presented.
Gross profit
As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by $1,270,875 to $497,725 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $1,768,600 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross margin decreased to 3% from 11% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in cost of revenue, which increased at a faster pace than revenue, primarily driven by higher depreciation expenses, increased dispatch service costs, and higher parking rent expenses related to our leased parking facilities.
General and administrative
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of automobile, office, insurance, payroll, rent expenses and stock compensation expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $5,460,912 or 226% to $7,875,263 for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $2,414,351 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change primarily results from an increase in professional fees from going public, travel expenses related to business development and depreciation expense, as well as the recognition of stock-based compensation in the amount of $5,363,550.
Income tax expense (benefit)
We recorded a provision for (benefit from) income taxes of $15,159 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $109,420 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $94,261 or 86%. The change was primarily attributable to the change in pre-tax results during the year.
Costs of revenues Our cost
of revenue includes all directly related costs to deliver our services, which includes independent contractor drivers, insurance, truck
maintenance costs, equipment rental and other directly related costs. Our costs of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
was $13,701,711 and $15,386,379, respectively, representing a decrease of 11%. Such decrease was in line with our decreased revenue Gross profit As a result of
the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by $1,684,668 to $2,337,802 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $2,649,153 for the year
ended December 31, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit remained consistent from 15% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to
15% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Again, the decrease in cost of revenue is in line with the decrease in revenue allowing for
no change in gross profit year over year.
General and administrative Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of automobile, office, insurance, payroll and rent expenses. Our general and administrative
expenses increased by $1,108,716 or 59% to $2,983,553 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $1,874,837 for the year ended December
31, 2023. This change primarily results from an increase in accrued compensation of $393,775, accounting fees of $267,896, bad debt expense
$123,371, officer payroll $109,615, relocation expense of $75,264, litigation settlement of $150,000, amortization of $67,218, depreciation
expense of $42,084, legal fees $30,209, and lastly automobile expenses with a total of $30,994. However, the increase in expenses were
offset by a decrease in consulting fee of $170,404, utilities of $18,418, travel expenses of $15,953, business licenses and permits of
$14,273, professional fees $12,000, Income
tax expense We recorded a provision for (benefit from) income taxes of $109,420 for the year ended December 31, 2024,
as compared to $377,931 for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $487,351 or 129%. The decrease in the income tax expense
mainly resulted from lower taxable income.
Net (loss) income
Net (loss) income for the years ended December
31, 2024
2025 and 20232024 was $174,871$(7,344,586) and $542,351,$174,871, respectively. The change of net income was due to the decrease in revenue and lowergross profit marginas

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the NLC for Waste Paper decreased by 3,409, or 20.5%, to 13,232, from 16,641 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease primarily reflected continued softness in export demand for recovered paper and increased domestic mill consumption, which reduced the number of export shipments during the period.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the NLC for Waste Metal increased by 1,170, or 94.1%, to 2,413, from 1,243 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for non-ferrous scrap exports and growth in shipments from existing and new customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the NLC for Forestry increased by 44, or 16.2%, to 315, from 271 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase reflected higher customer shipping activity during the year due to volatility caused by implication of tariffs.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the NLC for Import increased by 2,218, or 54.7%, to 6,275, from 4,057 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in direct relationships with import customers despite volatility in import container demand influenced by trade tariffs.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the NLC for Others decreased by 245, or 54.1%, to 208, from 453 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes from customers shipping plastics and other materials.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, total NLC decreased by 222, or 1.0%, to 22,443, from 22,665 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower Waste Paper loads, partially offset by increases in Waste Metal and Import loads.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the NLC
for Waste Paper declined by 1,453, or 8.0%, to 16,641, from 18,094 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributed
to an industry-wide decrease in scrap paper export volume.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the NLC
for Waste Metal decreased by 93 or 6.9%, to 1,243, from 1,336 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to the loss of

Accounts receivable represent revenue earned for which the Company has not yet received payment. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and adjusted for amounts management expects to collect from balances outstanding at period-end. The Company adopt the current expected credit loss model (“CECL model”) to estimate the expected credit losses, which is determined by multiplying the probability of default. The Company estimates the allowance for credit loss based on an analysis of specific accounts and an assessment of the customer’s ability to pay, among other factors. The allowance for credit losses was $123,371 as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The balance of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $1,402,421 and $1,203,001, respectively.

The following table sets forth key components
of our results of operations during the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, together with the corresponding period-over-period
changes.
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026
and 2025 was $4,106,943$4,640,068 and $3,811,610 ,$3,968,924, respectively, representing an increase of $ $295,333$671,144 or 8%.17%. The revenue increase in the first
second quarter of 2026 was mainly due to our expansion into new markets as well asmarkets, a substantial increase in import revenue.revenue, as well as service price increases in response to market changes.
Our revenue consisted of the following during
the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and 2025:
Waste Paper. Revenue attributable
to the transportation of waste paper fellrose to $2,065,017$2,225,573 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, a 20.2%6.9% change from $2,588,015$2,082,560 in the

Log. Log-hauling revenue totaled $139,125, up 6.5% from $130,605 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The modest increase reflects generally stable customer volumes during the period, with revenue per load supported by higher fuel surcharges.
Log. Log-hauling revenue totaled
$59,928, down 28.2% from $83,448 in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The forestry export uptick in volume due to 2025 US export
tariffs has normalized and in the first quarter of 2026, fuel increases have also created inconsistencies in shipping volume resulting
and a raise in shipping costs.

Costs of revenue Our cost of
revenue includes all directly related costs to deliver our services, which includes independent contractor drivers, insurance, truck maintenance
costs, equipment rental, parking rent expense, dispatch service fees, depreciation and amortization expense, and other directly related
costs. Our costs of revenue for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 were $4,274,056$4,262,551 and $3,701,479,$3,996,855, respectively, representing
an increase of 15.5%.7%.
Gross profit As a result of
the foregoing, our gross profit decreasedincreased by $277,244$405,448 or 251.7%1,452% to $377,517 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $(167,11327,931) for the three months ended MarchJune 31, 2026 from $110,131
for the three months ended March 31,30, 2025. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin decreasedincreased to 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to (40.7)% for the three months ended
March 31,June 2026, as compared to 3% for the three months ended March 31,30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of automobile, office, insurance, payroll and rent expenses. Our general and
administrative expenses increaseddecreased by $29,708$843,039 or 6%54% to $546,956$718,143 for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $517,248$1,561,182 for the three months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. This change primarily results from a substantial increasedecrease in professional fees incurred during the three months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as well as stock-based compensation of $985,550 recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
We recorded a provision for income benefits of

30, 2026 and 2025 was $653,732$306,711 and $528,475,$1,531,523, respectively. The increasedecrease in net loss was primarily due to a reduction in the general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in costs of revenue.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, together with the corresponding period-over-period changes.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $8,747,011 and $7,780,534, respectively, representing an increase of $966,477 or 12%. The revenue increase during 2026 was mainly due to our expansion into new markets, a substantial increase in import and metal revenue which have a higher average revenue per load, as well as service price increases in response to market changes.
Our revenue consisted of the following during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025:
Waste Paper. Revenue attributable to the transportation of waste paper fell to $4,290,590 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, a 8.1% decrease from $4,670,575 in the prior-year period. The decrease was principally attributable to a lower volume of outbound loads originating from recycling plants, as new domestic containerboard capacity absorbed a greater share of recovered fiber and reduced export-bound volumes. The decline was concentrated in the first quarter of 2026 and was partially offset in the second quarter by improved load pricing per order.
Import. Import-related revenue increased to $3,045,081 compared with $2,102,465 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, representing a 44.8% increase. The increase was primarily attributable to a shift toward higher-value loads and higher rates realized on import container movements, together with increased production volume driven by new import client acquisition and our ability to service additional import containers with new, versatile equipment.
Metal. Revenue derived from the movement of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals grew to $1,171,914 compared with $680,996 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, a period-over-period increase of 72.1%. The increase largely reflects growth in customer production volumes, together with strong global demand for recycled non-ferrous material. Elevated commodity prices have increased the value of scrap feedstock, and constrained domestic outlets for certain grades have continued to support export flows.
Log. Log-hauling revenue totaled $199,053, down 7.0% from $214,053 in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects the normalization of volumes following the elevated shipping activity that preceded 2025 trade actions affecting forestry products. The decline was concentrated in the first quarter of 2026, with second-quarter revenue per load supported by higher fuel surcharges.
Plastic. Revenue from the plastic commodity vertical reached $40,373, a period-over-period decrease of 64.1% compared with $112,445 in the prior-year period. The decrease reflects the continued contraction of export markets for recovered plastics, as key Southeast Asian destinations have implemented import restrictions and low virgin resin prices have reduced demand for recycled feedstock. Plastics represent a non-core vertical for the Company and an immaterial portion of total revenue.
Cost and expenses
Costs of revenue Our cost of revenue includes all directly related costs to deliver our services, which includes independent contractor drivers, insurance, truck maintenance costs, equipment rental, parking rent expense, dispatch service fees, depreciation and amortization expense, and other directly related costs. Our costs of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $8,536,607 and $7,698,332, respectively, representing an increase of 11%.
Gross profit As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $128,202 or 156% to $210,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $82,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin increased to 2.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of automobile, office, insurance, payroll and rent expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $813,333 or 39% to $1,265,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $2,078,432 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This change primarily results from a substantial decrease in professional fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as well as stock-based compensation of $985,550 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Income tax expense
We recorded a provision for income benefits of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $15,159 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net loss
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $960,443 and $2,059,997, respectively. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a reduction in the general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in costs of revenue.
The table below shows both the total NLCs and
a breakdown of NLCs by commodity type during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025. Our revenue generation directly corresponds
to NLC but is also impacted by the rates charged to customers.

to certain new territories and have raised service prices in response to market changes. Additionally, approximately of $2 million of
our outstanding loan receivable are expected to be collected in 2026 and will be used in our operations. Currently, we are working to
improve our liquidity and capital sources. In order to fully implement our business plan and sustain continued growth. We may, however,
in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business,
or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements,
we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional loans. The sale of additional equity securities could result
in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us
to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. At the present time, however, we do not have commitments of funds from any lenders or potential investors.
Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations
and could harm our overall business prospects.
