Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased by 2% ($77,714) year-over-year, driven by a 42.1% increase in import drayage revenue ($870,714 vs. $612,673), which offset a 5.8% decline in waste paper revenue.
• Profitability Decline: The company shifted from a net income of $111,090 in Q1 2024 to a net loss of $528,475 in Q1 2025. This was primarily caused by a 173% increase in General and Administrative (G&A) expenses to $905,160, attributed to professional fees associated with the IPO and increased travel/depreciation.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow turned negative, using $884,443 compared to providing $15,689 in the prior year. However, financing activities provided $8,459,232 due to the IPO, resulting in a net cash increase of $1,182,215.
• Balance Sheet Expansion: Total assets grew from $4.99 million to $12.46 million, largely due to the IPO proceeds and a new $5.7 million note receivable issued to Golden Bridge Capital Management Limited.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Expansion: Management highlights new partnerships in import drayage (expecting over $1M additional revenue in 2025), cold-chain logistics, and expansion into Vietnam and Latin America. A new partnership with Casella Waste Systems is expected to add up to $2 million in annual revenue.
• Liquidity: Management believes current cash levels are sufficient for operations for at least the next 12 months. However, future capital requirements may necessitate additional equity or debt financing.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025, citing significant deficiencies in financial reporting policies and procedures required for SEC reporting. External consultants have been engaged to remediate these issues.
• Legal Contingencies:
  • Trend Intermodal: A lawsuit regarding equipment lease payments was settled in April 2025 for a consent judgment of $222,540, with $150,000 accrued as of March 31, 2025.
  • Class Action: A reinstated class action lawsuit alleges misclassification of drivers as independent contractors. Management believes the claims are without merit and does not anticipate a probable loss.
• Related Party Transactions: Significant transactions include a $1.1 million loan from the CEO (interest rate increased to 55% per annum) and lease agreements for office space with related parties.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Related Party Loan Terms: Verify the sustainability of the $1.1 million related party loan bearing a 55% interest rate and the specific repayment schedule.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on fixing the identified significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Settlement Obligations: Confirm the status of the $150,000 settlement payment to Trend Intermodal and the return of leased equipment.
• Revenue Concentration: Assess the reliance on the import vertical for growth, given the decline in the core waste paper export segment.
• Note Receivable Risk: Evaluate the credit risk associated with the $5.7 million note receivable issued to Golden Bridge Capital Management Limited.
