NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward- looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs.
You should read thoroughly this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 10, 2026, which risk factors could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by applicable law.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a broader discussion of the Company’s business and the risks inherent in such business. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
| 8 |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP, BLU3, SSI and LBI. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per EIN. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $240,000and $25,000 in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Accounts receivable
The Company manufactures and sells its products to a broad range of customers, primarily retail stores. Few customers are provided with payment terms of 30 days. The Company has tracked historical loss information for its trade receivables and compiled historical credit loss percentages for different aging categories (current, 1–30 days past due, 31–60 days past due, 61–90 days past due, and more than 90 days past due).
In accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), management believes that the although, the Company had historical loss information, the Company is showing improvements in cash sales and collections of accounts receivable resulting in a decrease of allowance for doubtful accounts. as of March 31, 2026. Although the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). Accordingly, the allowance for expected credit losses at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 totaled $19,509 and $20,452, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of the following:
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Raw materials | $ | 1,447,864 | $ | 1,477,422 | ||||
| Work in process | 61,433 | 60,401 | ||||||
| Finished goods | 966,644 | 978,527 | ||||||
| Rental Equipment | ||||||||
| Allowance excess and obsolete inventory | (135,298 | ) | (176,419 | ) | ||||
| Inventory, net | $ | 2,340,644 | $ | 2,339,931 | ||||
| 9 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice and the contracts do not have significant financing components. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Product sales are recorded net of variable consideration, such as provisions for returns, discounts and promotional allowances. Such provisions are calculated based on the actual allowances given. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns, spoilage and promotional allowances based on the Company’s historical experience.
A breakdown of the total revenue between related party and non-related party revenue is as follows:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| (unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||||
| Revenues | $ | 1,953,695 | $ | 1,320,005 | ||||
| Revenues - related parties | 161,549 | 209,198 | ||||||
| Total Revenues | $ | 2,115,244 | $ | 1,529,203 | ||||
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of the cost of the components of finished goods, the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, in-bound and out- bound freight charges, direct manufacturing labor as well as certain internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of the Company’s finished products, inventory allowance for excess and obsolete inventory, and royalties paid on licensing agreements. Components account for the largest portion of the cost of sales. Components include plastic molded parts, gas powered engines, aluminum pressure bottles, electronic parts, batteries and packaging materials.
The breakdown of cost of sales to include cost of sales for related party and non-related party as well as the related party and non-related party royalty expense is as follows:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| (unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||||||
| Cost of revenues | $ | 1,043,297 | $ | 923,287 | ||||
| Cost of revenues - related parties | 53,889 | 72,264 | ||||||
| Royalties expense - related parties | 6900 | 3,992 | ||||||
| Royalties expense | 29,029 | 25,629 | ||||||
| Total cost of revenues | $ | 1,133,115 | $ | 1,025,172 | ||||
| 10 |
Lease Accounting
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.
The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. The Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. The Company did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.
The Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow the Company to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as of March 31, 2026. The Company’s leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of its agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to the Company. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Operating lease ROU assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.
When the Company has the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease for the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option, it considers these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $158,029 and $363,415, respectively.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:
| Operating Leases | March 31, 2026 | |||
| (unaudited) | ||||
| Right-of-use assets | $ | 1,131,329 | ||
| Current lease liabilities | $ | 500,085 | ||
| Non-current lease liabilities | 711,100 | |||
| Total lease liabilities | $ | 1,211,185 | ||
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee and non-employee are required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.
| 11 |
Derivatives
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record certain warrants and embedded conversion options at their fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into certain note agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, by earliest issuance date, in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors, as long as the certain variable issuance terms in certain convertible instruments exist. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any derivative liabilities.
Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted- average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, shares were included in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, shares of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, shares shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible notes, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.
Recent accounting pronouncements
ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit Loss (ASC326)
In December 2021, the FASB issued an update to ASU No. 2016-13 the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard (ASC 326), which is designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by incorporating estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Estimated Credit Losses (ECL) and requires enhanced financial statement disclosures. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023, with no effect to the financial statements.
ASU 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption or are not applicable.

Note 3. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had a net income of $277,574. At March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,538,328. The Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $1,141,710 at March 31, 2026. The historical losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital and sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations
Net Revenues, Costs of Net Revenues and Gross Profit
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net revenues decreased 16.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of a decrease in revenues in BTL and BLU3 and an increase in revenues in SSI and LWA. The increase in SSI’s revenues was due to sales to new customers attributable to the continued momentum of the Company’s newest product, HEED3, as well as increased demand from international users for SSI’s Spare Air product line. The increase in LWA and SSI’s revenue was offset by decreased revenues in BTL and BLU3 revenues and because there were no sales recorded for LBI because its assets were sold in the third quarter of 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of net revenues was 53.6% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 61.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The slight cost percentage decrease as a percentage of revenue, is directly attributable to the decrease in sales revenue, decrease in royalty expenses and decrease in labor cost. Included in cost of net revenues are royalty expenses paid to Robert Carmichael which increased by 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit margin was 46.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to gross profit margin of 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Increase in gross margin, is directly attributable to decrease in BTL labor costs margin.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025.
Net revenues decreased 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of an decrease in revenues of BTL, BLU3 and SSI and no revenues from LBI because its assets were sold in the third quarter of 2025. Net revenue for LWA increased 8.2%. BTL revenue decreased slightly by .4%, SSI’s decrease is attributable to the sales orders that were not received in the beginning of the following quarter. Net revenue for LWA increased 8.18% due to the hiring of an additional sales personnel.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of net revenues was 61.6% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 62.0% for the three months ended 2025. The cost of revenue decrease, can be directly attributable to controlling the cost of direct labor, which accounted for a smaller portion of costs and significantly impacted the profit margin. Included in cost of net revenues are royalty expenses paid to Robert Carmichael which decreased 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Gross profit margin was 38.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to gross profit margin of 38.0%for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This small increase is due to the increase in cost of goods and raw materials.

| 24 |
Payroll for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased 36.2% and 38.8% respectively. The decrease reflects controlling overtime, scheduling of staff and reduction in personnel.
Non-Cash Stock Compensation expenses increased 100% for the three months and three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three and three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of vesting milestones based upon performance goals not being met for the three ended March 31, 2026.

Advertising expense decrease 13.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three and three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase is attributable to BLU3’s decrease in online advertising expenses.
Other expenses increased 32.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase in rent expenses and a new lease for BMG offices.
Research & Development Expenses (R&D Expenses)
R&D expenses for the three and three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by 73.94% and 71.12% respectively, compared to the three months and three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, as a result of decrease in product development activity.
Other Income/Expense
For the three and three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, other income/expense consisted solely of interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest expense decreased 5.75% from the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease is due to payoff of loans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $849,620 as of March 31, 2026. The following table summarizes total current assets, total current liabilities, and working capital at March 31, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025.

The increase in current assets at March 31, 2026 from December 31, 2025 primarily reflects an increase in cash, accounts receivable and inventory.

Going Concern
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has net losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back, delay or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.
We have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $17,536,900 as of March 31, 2026, which represents a significant improvement as compared to prior years. We had a working capital surplus of $1,141,710 at March 31, 2026. However, continued losses and cash used in operations in the past raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. We are continuing to engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to raise capital is somewhat limited based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or cease certain of our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and equity-based transactions. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluations as of March 31, 2026, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of September, 2025 and based upon the such evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weaknesses set forth below.
| ● | Insufficient number and lack of qualified accounting department and administrative personnel and support; | |
| ● | Insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; | |
| ● | Insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of controls in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; | |
| ● | Company’s systems that impact financial information and disclosures have ineffective information technology controls; | |
| ● | Inadequate controls surrounding revenue recognition, to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected and properly recorded; and | |
| ● | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures was not sufficiently comprehensive due to limited personnel. |
Subject to sufficient resources, management expects to remediate the material weaknesses identified above as follows:
| ● | Management has leveraged and will continue to leverage experienced consultants to assist with ongoing GAAP and SEC compliance requirements. We intend to expand our finance department through the hiring of a certified public accountant to strengthen the segregation of duties, internal controls and enhance our current staff. | |
| ● | Segregation of duties is being analyzed and adjusted Company-wide, where possible. The Company intends to hire additional personnel in the accounting department, as well as the documentation of controls and procedures. | |
| ● | The Company plans on evaluating various accounting systems to enhance its system controls. |
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added to our accounting and administrative staff allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
