A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (including the exhibits hereto) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), such as statements relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or expectations, and business operations. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical fact. Accordingly, statements that are based on management’s projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “intend,” “objective,” “goal,” “project,” and other similar words and expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” and “may.” These forward-looking statements are based largely on information currently available to our management and on our current expectations, assumptions, plans, estimates, judgments and projections about our business and our industry, and such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of performance and there are a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors (many of which are outside our control) which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will in fact occur or that our estimates or assumptions will be correct, and we caution investors and all others not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements:
| · | the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash proceeds from its operations or, alternatively, identify, secure and obtain suitable and sufficient financing to execute its business plan and achieve its strategic objectives; |
|
|
|
| · | the Company’s ability to service its outstanding debt obligations, including loans with affiliates of the Company, and to continue to successfully negotiate economically beneficial annual extensions of its guarantor obligations assumed from Renovo pursuant to the Merger, including with respect to the outstanding 6 LLC loan with Hancock Whitney Bank incurred in connection with 6 LLC’s acquisition of the property leased by the Company on which it conducts its business operations; |
|
|
|
| · | the Company’s ability to exercise its option to purchase 6 LLC may be depends on its ability to raise additional funds. |
|
|
|
| · | general economic, political and market conditions; |
|
|
|
| · | interest rate and inflation risk; |
|
|
|
| · | the potential impacts on our business of increased tariffs and trade policy discussions between the United States and other countries, which impacts may include, among others, an increase the costs of metals purchased by us for resale, result in declining profitability; operational disruption; an overall economic slowdown; an adverse impact on credit markets and interests rate that could increase the costs of our outstanding debt; possible lower equity valuations that could adversely affect any potential equity financing; and the potential for retaliatory actions by other nations; |
|
|
|
| · | climate related or natural disaster-related events that increases the likelihood of catastrophic losses, disruption to our operations, and related cost of insurance coverage for entities with operations in high fire, hurricane or flood risk areas, including the Company’s operations which are located on the gulf coast of central Florida, a region which is susceptible to hurricanes; |
|
|
|
| · | government and industry regulation that might affect future operations; |
|
|
|
| · | potential change of control transactions resulting from merger, acquisition, or combination with another entity; |
|
|
|
| · | the potential dilution in our equity (both economically and in voting power) that might result from future financing or from merger, acquisition, or combination activities; |
|
|
|
| · | any statements regarding future economic conditions, growth rate, market opportunity or performance of the Company; |
|
|
|
| · | the ability of the Company to obtain and maintain all licenses necessary to continue to operate its business; and |

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background
Kingfish Holding Corporation (“us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company,” or “Kingfish”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 11, 2006 as Offline Consulting Inc. On May 18, 2007, we entered into a reverse merger transaction pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement whereby we acquired Kesselring Corporation, a Florida corporation. On June 8, 2007, following the reverse merger, we became Kesselring Holding Corporation. On November 25, 2014, we changed our name to Kingfish Holding Corporation.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, Kingfish defaulted on its loan agreements with AMI Holdings, Inc. (“AMI”), a corporation controlled by James K. Toomey, a stockholder, officer and director of the Company, and certain of his relatives, and on May 24, 2010, AMI foreclosed on and took possession of all of Kingfish’s then-existing operating entities. On September 16, 2011, Kingfish, having only 69 holders of record and no significant assets, filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) to terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
In 2014, Kingfish took the steps necessary to reactivate its reporting obligations that had been suspended since 2011 under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (“Reactivation Actions”). Kingfish completed its Reactivation Actions and commenced its reactivated reporting obligations on December 17, 2014. However, Kingfish was unsuccessful in its endeavor to identify and engage in a business combination with a potential target company or business following its Reactivation Actions and, as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, Kingfish had expended substantially all of its available cash and was unable to secure any additional funds to finance its operations. As a result, Kingfish was dormant from such date through May 2020.
In May 2020, Kingfish determined that the business environment had sufficiently changed so that identifying a target and completing a business combination may be more likely than was previously the case. As a preliminary step to seeking such a business combination transaction, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Company filed with the Commission all of its reports on Forms 10-K for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 through 2021, as well as all Forms 10-Q for the September 30, 2021 fiscal year and all Forms 10-Q for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 (“Filing Updates”).
On April 19, 2024, the Company consummated the previously announced merger of Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Renovo”), with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving entity (“Merger”).
Formed as a Florida corporation in 2014, Renovo was a privately held company that commenced operations in 2017 as a single scrap yard operation on a ten-acre site in Manatee County, Florida that was specifically engineered for Renovo’s business and includes a new constructed facility for its operations. Renovo also has received rezoning approval to operate the site as a Construction and Demolition trash station (“C&D Site”).
Unless stated otherwise herein, all references to the Company’s business operations herein specifically refer the operations of Renovo prior to the Merger and the operations of the Company, as the survivor entity, after the Merger.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 822 62nd Circle East, Unit 105, Bradenton, Florida 34208, and our telephone number is (941) 487-3653. The Company does not have an internet address.

Business Operations
Prior to the Merger, Renovo operated a single scrap yard that was one of Manatee County's largest recycling centers. When it commenced operations, Renovo only purchased and resold a few thousand pounds of material each month. Through partnerships with local companies and community, Renovo was purchasing and selling approximately 1.5 million pounds of material each month by the time of the Merger.
Following the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing Date”), the Company’s business now consists solely of acquiring salvage and reselling scrap metals processed and unprocessed ferrous and nonferrous metals from a variety of sources including, manufacturing and industrial plants, metal fabrication plants, electric utilities, machine shops, factories, refineries, demolition businesses, wrecking companies, contractors, and retail individuals. Ferrous metals contain significant quantities of iron or steel. Non-ferrous metals, which do not contain significant quantities of iron or steel include, without limitation, copper, brass, aluminum, bronze, lead, zinc, nickel, and alloys thereof; but do not include precious metals (such as gold, silver, and platinum).
The primary business operations of the Company consist of accepting metals contained in radiators, insulated aluminum wire, automotive components (rotors, drums, etc.), insulated copper wire, electric motors, stainless steel, scrap iron, appliances, aluminum cans, batteries (lead acid), and e-scrap. The Company utilizes specialized equipment to efficiently process significant volumes of insulated copper wire through granulation. With the exception of precious metals, our scrap metal processing facility processes almost all other types of metal.
The Company derives profit from aggregating more than 60 product types and reselling the materials to larger transfer and processing partners in the state of Florida. The Company has operated under the guidelines of selling “mixed” truckloads of material as soon as they are aggregated in an effort to abate any changes in commodity pricing that may affect its margins in a negative manner. This buy/sell formula has preserved margins in the past but also curtails the Company’s ability to ship directly to non-ferrous mills due to smaller volumes of like materials or Full Truck Load (“FTL”) volumes resulting in lower prices received for materials.
Although the Company does have the capacity and volume to achieve FTL loads required by non-ferrous mills, based on market price fluctuations, the Company has taken a more conservative approach to protect its margins. Accordingly, the Company only ships less than a truckload (“LTL”) of mixed commodities to go to multiple end users in an effort to mitigate any potential losses due to market fluctuations.
The Company conducts its operations on real property located at 3324 63rd Avenue East, Bradenton, Florida 34203 (the “Property”). This Property is owned by 6 LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“6 LLC”). 6 LLC is solely owned by the shareholders of Renovo prior to the Merger (such owners of 6 LLC referred to herein as “LLC Owners”). In connection with the closing of the Merger and as contemplated by the Merger agreement, as amended, Renovo entered into a Lease Agreement with 6 LLC (the “Lease”) immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, which Lease was assumed by the Company at the closing of the Merger. Furthermore, the Company also has entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with the LLC Owners (“Purchase Option Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive option, subject to certain conditions, in its sole discretion, exercisable at any time within five (5) years after the Merger Closing Date to acquire 6 LLC and, as a result thereof, the Property. The Lease and the Purchase Option were amended on August 12, 2025 to permit the Company to undertake development activities on the Property. See Item 2 of this Annual Report for further information regarding the Property, and the Lease and the Purchase Option Agreement, as amended.
The Company has received approvals to build a C&D Site, as well as a transfer station for material recovery of mobile homes and recreational vehicles, industrial solid non-hazardous waste, plastics and cardboard. The final site plan has been reviewed by the appropriate agencies and found to be sufficiently in compliance with the Manatee County Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan. Although the Company has taken the steps to have the C&D Site classified for such use and has actively taken steps to evaluate the construction of a C&D plant on the Property, the Company has not yet determined to proceed with the commencement of C&D plant operations. The ultimate determination of whether to proceed with operating a C&D plant will depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, existing market conditions and the likelihood of profitable operation of a C&D plant. Such a designation would add value to the Property, but the Company will not operate a C&D plant unless and until it determines, if ever, that it would be a viable and profitable business venture for the Company with appropriate rates of investment return. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will operate a C&D plant on the Property. The Manatee County approvals will expire after four years from the original approval date of March 28, 2027, and are subject to the expiration date (April 7, 2026) of the Company’s Certificate of Level of Service, which is required by Manatee County. The approvals may be extended in 12-month increments for up to 48 months from the original expiration date. The Company has obtained two extensions from Manatee County, which means we may obtain at most two more 12-month extensions. Prior to this expiration the Company may pursue building permits to build the C&D Site.

Under the laws of the state of Florida, and business regulations in Manatee County specifically, the Company is required to maintain a Secondary Metals Recycling License whereby all directors and managers of the Company are required to pass background checks. The Company is required to maintain both digital and paper records of all transactions, including identification of materials, vehicles and persons selling materials for each individual transaction. Records are kept both onsite to comply with regulations and daily reports are required to be filed with the local Sheriff's Office on all purchase transactions conducted.
The Company does not engage in the business of fabricating or otherwise converting raw materials into products or prepared grades of materials having an existing or potential economic value.
Source of Raw Materials
The Company relies on acquiring scrap metals for processing and re-sale. With the exception of precious metals, the Company accepts almost all other types of scrap metal for processing at our facility. The Company obtains its scrap metals primarily from residents and businesses in Manatee County who wish to dispose of obsolete and industrial scrap, such as used radiators, automotive components (rotors, drums etc.), insulated aluminum and copper wires, electric motors, stainless steel, scrap iron, appliances, aluminum cans, batteries (lead acid), and e-scrap. No individual or entity accounts for more than 10% of the scrap metals that are purchased by the Company.
Customers
The Company sells both ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals (collectively referred to as “raw materials”) to multiple off-take partners and typically bids the material for each shipment to several buyers, depending upon commodity, to ensure the best possible prices. Raw materials margin per ton is defined as the difference between the selling prices for processed and recycled ferrous and nonferrous scrap metals and the price paid to purchase obsolete and industrial scrap.
Distribution and Sales of Materials
No customer accounted for 10% or more of our 2025 gross revenues. As commodities are processed and packaged for delivery, a packing slip is generated and sent out for bid. Based on final spot pricing bids a verbal/written price lock is achieved and the load ear marked for the buyer. Several factors are used, such as freight costs, box and pallet costs, price per pound and suppliers’ previous acceptance of material (without deductions) are used to determine course of action. Several buyers now offer free freight based on gross weights in order to obtain our volume. Determination of sales bids includes the calculations for shipping and payment processing times during the bidding process. Some buyers offer free pickup of materials from Manatee County at no cost to the Company and thus tend to dominate in the bidding process. Although the Company’s two largest customers accounted for a large portion of its gross revenues, the Company believes that the loss of either of these material customers or, for that matter, any customers would be easily replaceable and would likely not have a long-term adverse effect on the Company’s operations due to the bidding process associated with the sale of raw materials and the availability of other buyers. As of the date of this Report, the Company does not have a separate sales force and primarily has relied on the efforts of social media to generate sales.
Competition
The Company’s recycling operations compete with scrap metal processors and primary nonferrous metal producers located in the southern Tampa Bay, Florida market (including, without limitation, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Manatee Counties). There currently are five scrap yards in the Company’s local market against which it primarily competes.
The Company offers competitive pricing and a clean facility which has attracted several commercial accounts (large volume) and peddler traffic who wish to avoid the traditional scrap yard look and feel. The Company provides differentiating value for its customers through its commitment to customer service under the guiding principles of “placing the customer at the core of all it does, staying committed to its employees, and giving back to its community. The Company currently considers its main competitors in the metal recycling sector to include Nucor (Trademark Metals), Suncoast Metals and Best Metals. The Company believes that its continued approach to cleanliness and customer service while offering a fair price will continue to see growth and sustainability.

| Table of Contents |
Since commencing operations, the Company has continued to grow while it has observed that a number of competitors in Manatee County ceased operations. The majority of its competition is currently from yards in northern Sarasota County and Southern Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. The Company believes that future large-scale growth would potentially require the investment of capital expenditures to include a large ram baler and envirorack, which would increase its capability to receive and process automobiles and package commodities more efficiently to maximize loads to buyers. Each scrap yard tends to have specialties that attract customers for specific materials such as aluminum, copper or in the Company’s case, copper wire. The scrap yards business is very price competitive, but the older facilities tend to have operational deficiencies that often limit their capacity or ability to operate.
We believe that the Company’s competitive advantage is that it excels in efficient processing and its constant efforts to exceed customer expectations. Average wait times are under seven minutes and it can easily handle 10-15 customers simultaneously. Positioned on just over 10 acres, it has the capacity and capability to handle any size delivery from small residential customers with only one pound of material to full loads of semi-tractor trailer trucks hauling in tons of scrap metals.
We also believe that the Company’s environmentally responsible operations differentiate it from its competitors. The Company affirmatively supports recycling of waste products and takes steps to prevent recyclable products provided to it from being dumped in landfills and ensuring that they are disposed of properly. Due to price changes in the global markets, the Company ceased the recycling of cardboard in 2020.
Government Regulation
Registration Requirements
The Company is considered a secondary metals recycler under Florida law and is required to register as such with the Florida Department of Revenue (the “Department”) under Sections 538.18 through 538.28 of the Florida Statutes, (the “SMR Statutes”).

| · | with respect to a statutory list of restricted regulated metals property, the seller must provide reasonable proof of ownership by the seller or the person or entity on behalf of whom they are acting as an agent. |
Compliance with Governmental Regulations
Under the laws of the SMR Statutes and business regulations in Manatee County, the Company is a registered secondary metals recycler. The Company maintains both digital and paper records of all transactions that are kept onsite to comply with regulations and daily reports are required to be filed with the local Sheriff's Office on all purchase transactions conducted. In compliance with these legal requirements, the Company reports its daily transactions with the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office through software designated by the department and is subject to periodic on-site inspections by the department’s officers to ensure the Company’s compliance with the applicable purchase regulations.
The Company has developed internal controls and procedures over these processes. Currently, the Company submits law enforcement reporting though LeadsOnline and FinderPawn. The Company’s compliance software is semi-automated and is run daily before the 10 am requirement. Controls are in place within the Nexus Recycling software that can only be overridden by owners of the Company. This includes any value over $1,000 dollars, and any restricted material regardless of value. Daily opening routine requires all previous day’s transactions to be printed and a review is done for completeness and any errors or omissions. Any check issued by a cashier over $500 is brought to the General Manager for review prior to mailing or issuing to customer. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has oversight with regard to risk management. The Company’s General Manager is responsible for monitoring the Company’s risk management systems and reporting any potential issues to the Board of Directors.
Environmental Law Compliance Matters
Compliance with and changes to various environmental requirements and environmental risks applicable to our industry may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) and analogous Florida statutes, the Company may occasionally be required to clean up or take remedial action with regard to (or pay for cleanup or remedial action with regard to its facilities. If the Company is found to have arranged for treatment or disposal of hazardous substances at the facility, the Company could be named as a potentially responsible party and responsible for both the costs of cleanup as well as for associated natural resource damages at such site. With respect to the sale of scrap metals, the Company contends that an arm's length sale of valuable scrap metal for use as a raw material in a manufacturing process that it does not control should not constitute “an arrangement for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances” as defined under federal law. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Superfund Recycling Equity Act provides legitimate sellers of scrap metal for recycling with some relief from Superfund liability under federal law.
As of the date hereof, the Company has not been subject to any federal or state action alleging that it is subject to liability under these environmental laws.

While the Company believes it has adequate processes and technology in place to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats, the Company is continually at risk given an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Accordingly, the Company can provide no assurances that a future cyber-attack would not affect the Company's business in a material manner. At the effective date of this Annual Report, however, the Company is
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 822 62nd Street Circle East, Unit 105, Bradenton, Florida 34208. The office space and equipment belong to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Company uses such space and equipment at no charge.
At the closing of the Merger, the Company assumed the Lease for the Property on which Renovo conducted its operations prior to the Merger Closing Date, and on which the Company now conducts its business. The Property, owned in fee simple by 6 LLC (an entity owned by the LLC Owners and controlled by certain of our officers and directors), consists of approximately 10 acres of which all site preparation has been completed for eventual building expansion to roughly 80% of site with the remaining 20% for retention, green space and drainage as required under local development and building codes.
The Company may consider eventual expansion of the Property to include permitting for offices, additional warehouse expansion, improvements to sound and security barriers and additional processing equipment operations.
Under the terms of the Lease, the Company is leasing the Property from 6 LLC for annual rent of $480,000 paid in 12 monthly payments of $40,000, which is inclusive of electrical, water, sewer, and other utilities. The Lease has an initial term of two years and may be extended for a period of up to five additional years by the Company. The terms of the Lease include customary terms regarding alterations to the Property, maintenance by 6 LLC (for purposes of the Lease, 6 LLC shall be referred to as the “Landlord”), insurance, and indemnification and generally reflect terms that would be typically negotiated in an at arm’s-length transaction with modifications to the termination provisions of the Lease to limit 6 LLC’s ability to terminate the Lease in light of the Purchase Option Agreement. Further, the Lease limits 6 LLC’s ability to assign the Lease, while preserving the right of the Company to assign the Lease under certain circumstances.
During the term of the Lease, the Landlord will be required to maintain the structural elements of the Property, which include, certain walls, the roof of the building, structural support and the foundation of the building. The Company will be required to otherwise maintain and repair the Property as needed, including maintenance related to plumbing, heating or electrical. The Company will be permitted to make any non-structural alterations as desired to the Property and has the right to install any equipment on the Property, which equipment will remain the sole property of the Company.
The Company currently uses approximately 50% of the surface area of the Property and Management believes that the Property is suitable and adequate to satisfy the Company’s current operational needs.
Purchase Option Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into the Purchase Option Agreement with the LLC Owners pursuant to which, the Company has the exclusive option (the “Purchase Option”), subject to certain conditions, in its sole discretion, exercisable at any time within five (5) years after the Merger Closing Date, to acquire 6 LLC (the “Future Acquisition”) at a purchase price (“Purchase Price”) equal to (i) the fair market value of 6 LLC, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Option Agreement (“Fair Market Value”) plus (ii) a premium equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Fair Market Value. It is a condition to the exercise of the Purchase Option that the Company either repay the 6 LLC’s loan with Hancock Whitney Bank (the “6 LLC Bank Loan”) or negotiate the assumption of the 6 LLC Bank Loan by the Company at the closing of the Future Acquisition. Currently, the Company is a guarantor under the 6 LLC Bank Loan.
| 11 |
| Table of Contents |
The Fair Market Value will be determined by an independent appraisal of the fair market value of the 6 LLC assets (or, upon a bona fide offer with a firm price made by an unaffiliated third party within 12 months of an exercise of the Purchase Option by the Company).
Under the terms of the Purchase Option Agreement, the Company has the option to structure the Future Acquisition in any of the following structures:
| · | a purchase in cash by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of all of the outstanding equity interests of 6 LLC (“6 LLC Equity Interests”) from the owners of the 6 LLC Equity Interests, including, without limitation, all units of membership interest, directly from all of the LLC Owners (an “Equity Purchase”); |
|
|
|
| · | an exchange transaction by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of Company with the LLC Owners are (“Exchange Transfer”) whereby all of the outstanding 6 LLC Equity Interests will be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock (“SC Common Stock”) or a combination of cash and SC Common Stock; |
|
|
|
| · | engage in a merger transaction by and between the 6 LLC and the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (with the surviving subsidiary entity to be determined by Company) whereby LLC Owners will receive their prorated share of the aggregate Purchase Price from the payment of the merger consideration, which merger consideration shall be payable in cash or shares of SC Common Stock, as determined by the Company (“Company Merger”); or |
|
|
|
| · | a purchase by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of 6 LLC, which Purchase Price shall be payable in cash or shares of common stock, as determined by the Surviving Corporation (“Asset Acquisition”). |
To the extent that any portion of the 6 LLC Bank Loan remains outstanding at the time of the Future Acquisition, either (i) the cash portion of the Purchase Price would be used to first payoff any such amount, or (ii) if the Company negotiates the assumption of the 6 LLC Bank Loan with the Hancock Whitney Bank (the “6 LLC Bank Loan Assumption”), the dollar amount of the outstanding 6 LLC Bank Loan so assumed shall be applied to the payment of the Purchase Price. In each case, remaining Purchase Price proceeds (“Remaining Proceeds”) would be paid to the 6 LLC debt holders and then to the LLC Owners or 6 LLC, depending on the structure of the transaction.
In the event that the Company should determine to use an acquisition structure whereby it will pay the Remaining Proceeds in common stock, the value of the common stock will be the average of the last daily sales price of common stock as reported by the OTC Markets (otcmarkets.com), or if not reported thereby, another authoritative source selected by the Company) for the ten (10) consecutive full trading days in which such shares are traded ending at the close of trading on the fifth business day preceding the Future Acquisition closing.
The Purchase Option Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by 6 LLC, including, among other things, covenants (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the option period and consummation of a Future Acquisition transaction; (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period; (iii) not to amend or propose to amend any of its organizational documents; (iv) not to incur any additional debt obligations and (v) not to enter into, amend or modify any material contract. The Purchase Option Agreement also is subject to a number of customary closing conditions.
As part of the Company’s potential development activities on the Property, the Company has negotiated and, on August 12, 2025, entered into an Amended Lease and Amended Purchase Option Agreement with 6, LLC (“Amended 6, LLC Agreements”), to permit the Company to construct or install temporary or permanent improvements and to request or record easements relating to utilities and access, including, without limitation, driveways, fencing, gates, and utility connections. Such improvements also may include those necessary to provide special dedicated access to the Company Real Property in favor of the County during storm conditions. These improvements shall be at the Company’s sole expense. Any such construction activities performed by or on behalf of the Company shall be at the Company’s sole expenses and are required to be conducted by properly licensed and qualified contractors, consultants, or other professionals. Under the Amended 6, LLC Agreements, the Company may not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights thereunder, except any lien bonded or certain insured identified therein.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are presently no pending legal proceedings to which the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any executive officer, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated against it.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Price History. Currently there is no public trading market for our common stock and there is no longer an active symbol for our common stock. Our common stock is not and has not been traded on any stock exchange. Prior to June 12, 2024, our common stock was quoted from time to time by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. in their OTC Expert Market tier under the symbol “KSSH”. Trading in stocks quoted on these markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to factors that have little to do with a company’s operations, or business, or prospects. Accordingly, there had been only been limited and sporadic trading of our common stock during the past two fiscal years and there is no assurance that an active trading market will ever develop in the future for our common stock.
Further, on April 18, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Merger with Renovo, the Company effected a reverse stock split effected at a ratio of one-for-five hundred, meaning that each 500 shares of the Company’s common stock were converted into one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The following table sets forth high and low closing quotations for the quarters indicated prior to June 30, 2024 (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split). Only two trades were reported during the year ended September 30, 2024. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The number of holders of record of our common stock on December 19, 2025 was approximately 805. On June 12, 2024, the last date our common stock was quoted on an active trading market, the last reported sale price of our common stock as quoted by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. in the OTC Expert Market tier was $0.05 per share after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the last trade on our common stock was made on December 5, 2023.

The trading volume in our common stock generally has been sporadic and extremely limited. The limited nature of the trading market can create the potential for significant changes in the trading price for our common stock as a result of relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for our common stock and perhaps without regard to our business activities. Because of the lack of specific transaction information and our belief that quotations during the period were particularly sensitive to actual or anticipated volume of supply and demand, we do not believe that such quotations during these periods are necessarily reliable indicators of a trading market for the common stock.
Impact of Penny Stock Designation. Our common stock is designated as a “penny stock” under the Exchange Act, and the Commission has adopted rules which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” (Rules 15g-2 through l5g-6 of the Exchange Act, which are referred to as the “penny stock rules”). Penny stocks generally are any non-Nasdaq equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions. The penny stock rules require a broker - dealer to: (a) deliver a standardized risk disclosure document established under the penny stock rules, (b) provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, (c) make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and (d) receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure and other requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, persons holding or receiving such shares may find it more difficult to sell their shares. The market liquidity for the shares could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the shares and the ability of stockholders to sell their stock in any secondary market.
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Former Shell Companies. Under Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission, stockholders generally may not use Rule 144 for the resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The Commission, hover, has provided an exception to this prohibition under the following conditions (“Trading Conditions”):
| · | the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; |
|
|
|
| · | the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; |
|
|
|
| · | the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and |
|
|
|
| · | at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer has filed current “Form 10 Information” with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company (which can be furnished on any other applicable form). |
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, we ceased to be a shell company. On April 24, 2024, we filed a Form 8-K with the Commission containing the “Form 10 Information” referenced in the rule. Accordingly, as of April 24, 2025 our existing stockholders were able to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. However, as indicated above, there currently is no public trading market for our common stock.
Dividends
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by its Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. The Company, however, has never declared any cash dividends on its common shares and does not anticipate the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We do not have earnings out of which to pay cash dividends. We may consider payment of dividends at some point in the future when and if we have earnings sufficient for that purpose, but the declaration of dividends is at the discretion of the board of directors, and there is no assurance that dividends will be paid at any time.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the operating results and financial condition of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The discussion and analysis set forth below is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition and results of our operations and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying statements and related notes, are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretations of business conditions, changing market conditions and other factors. Historical results and trends that might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Overview
Explanatory Note
On April 19, 2024, the Company consummated the Merger of Renovo with and into the Company, with the Company as the legal surviving entity and Renovo as the accounting surviving entity. For purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the historic results of the Company are those of Renovo as the accounting survivor of the Merger.
Government Tariff Actions
On April 2, 2025, the President of the United States outlined steps to implement changes in trade policy referred to as “Liberation Day” whereby the trade and tariff relationships with other countries would be reevaluated and renegotiated. In particular, an increase in tariffs was announced, with some taking place immediately, others have been subsequently delayed, and still others that had gone into effect being subsequently revised.
Although the impact of the tariffs and trade policy discussions with other nations cannot be fully determined while these discussions are ongoing and many of the tariffs have been delayed, such tariffs could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future operations and profitability. Such tariffs and trade discussions could result in an increase in costs associated with pour scrap metal purchases, supply chain disruptions, an overall reduction in consumer confidence and demand, and an overall economic slowdown. The impact on the general economy will be subject to several factors that cannot be determined at this time, such as whether other countries will retaliate and the spiral effect that such retaliation could have, uncertain duration of trade conflicts, the possibility of legal challenges or Congressional action, and the impact on the reputation of U.S. companies abroad.

Because the Company does not have operations outside of its local Florida location, we do not believe the Company is directly impacted by the impact on foreign trade or currency exchange rate fluctuations or subject to supply chain issues that may be affected by foreign imports. However, the Company could be indirectly affected by these matters as it relates to the purchasers of its scrap materials, including the possibility of reduced consumer confidence and demand. Adverse economic consequences to such customers may curtail their purchases and adversely affect our operations
Further, the tariffs could adversely affect credit markets and interest rates, which may result in an increase in the costs of our outstanding debt obligations. In addition, such tariffs could also result in lower equity valuations for the Company and adversely affect any future equity financing that it may seek to obtain.
The Company has noted that the current tariff environment has continued to cause volatility due to the uncertainty relating to the President’s position with respect to tariffs on certain commodities. Material demand is high whereas material supply is short causing pricing especially in steel purchases to remain inconsistent with standard trends and will continue to be monitored by management. Because of our flexibility, smaller size, and direct management involvement, we believe we can move quickly to take advantage of favorable downward changes in commodity prices and then sell our products profitably at a discount as compared to our competitors. Furthermore, the Company is able to stockpile certain commodities acquired at lower prices to resell when those commodity prices rise in the future.
Operations
The Company derives its profits from aggregating more than 60 product types and reselling the materials to larger transfer and processing partners in the state of Florida. The Company has operated under the guidelines of selling “mixed” truckloads of material as soon as they are aggregated in an effort to abate any changes in commodity pricing that may affect its margins in a negative manner. This buy/sell formula has preserved margins in the past but also curtails The Company’s ability to ship directly to non-ferrous mills due to smaller volumes of like materials or Full Truck Load volumes resulting in lower prices received for materials.
On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a category 4 hurricane near Perry, Florida. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton made landfall as a category 3 hurricane near Sarasota, Florida. Both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton had a significant impact through wind damage and flooding on the area in which the Company conducts business. Following the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton the Company experienced a significant influx of inventory available for purchase from the public at advantageous prices. In addition, certain of the Company’s competitors were temporarily unable to continue operations due to impacts from the hurricanes. In order to capitalize on this opportunity, the Company obtained temporary financing to make inventory purchases as is described below, which loans were fully repaid on December 16, 2024. The effects of Hurricanes Helene and Milton subsided during the first quarter of 2025 and operations are back to normal as storm inventory purchased during the aftermath of these storms have been sold.
The Company does not engage in the business of fabricating or otherwise converting raw materials into products or prepared grades of materials having an existing or potential economic value.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total assets of $2,478,376 and $2,512,968, respectively, total liabilities of $2,128,544 and $2,624,603, respectively, and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) of $349,832 and $(111,635), respectively. The decrease of total assets of $34,592 from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025 was due to an increase in cash of $604,479 as a result of increased sales, decrease in deferred tax asset in the amount of $22,166 offset by an aggregate decrease in accounts receivable, deferred income tax asset, inventory, right of use asset, property and equipment totaling $639,071. The decrease of total liabilities of $496,059 from September 30, 2024 to September 30, 2025 was due primarily to an aggregate $507,248 of accounts payable, accrued interest payable, related party loans, convertible notes payable, and lease liabilities offset by an increase in taxes payable $145,537 and accrued compensation in the amount of $113,520.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Revenues. For the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenues of $4,832,489 and $3,440,101, respectively, and gross profits of $2,184,501 and $1,514,251, respectively. The primary driver of the Company’s revenues were steel prices and the prices of other metal commodities. When metal prices are higher, revenues increase assuming that volume is stable. The Company is primarily impacted by the price of steel, with the price of copper and the price of other metals also significantly contributing to the Company’s revenues and profits. The primary reason for the increase in our revenues for the year ended September 30, 2025 was due to the increase in the volume of the Company’s sales in the year ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the year ended September 30, 2024. There increased volume of sales in the 2025 fiscal year was primarily the result of decreases in commodity prices combined with stable material volume as well as a sudden increase in material purchases specifically in aluminum products as result of Hurricane Milton. Additionally, we have been able to take advantage of the current volatility in commodity prices due to developments relating to tariff decisions by the United States to acquire commodities at lower prices which are then sold at consistent pricing.
Cost of goods sold for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2,647,988 and $1,925,850, respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 45% and 44%, respectively. Cost of goods sold consists primary of costs associated with purchasing salvage and scrap metal and increases as prices for these commodities fluctuate. The Company was able to purchase a significant volume of aluminum in the second quarter as a result of Hurricane Milton. Because of this event, buyers became aggressive in their price offerings to receive material once the bidding price resumed. During the third quarter, our revenues returned to normal operations, but our ability acquire additional commodities at favorable prices, while maintaining our volume of sales at consistent prices which our customers believe to be favorable to them has resulted in continuing improved sales from the same period last year. As a result, the gross margin increased over the year.
Operating Expenses. The Company’s operating expenses increased from $1,474,370 for the year ended September 30, 2024 to $1,593,358 for the year ended September 30, 2025 due primarily to an aggregate increase in professional fees, director compensation and payroll expense of $135,659 offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $16,671. A substantial portion of the professional fees in 2025 and 2024 were the result of the Merger and integration of Renovo operations with the Company. The Company accrued director compensation in the amount of $113,800 for the year ended September 30, 2025.
Other Expenses. Other expenses went from ($68,865) during the year ended September 30, 2024 to other income of $23,365 during the year ended September 30, 2025. The difference was directly attributable to the Company recording a gain on extinguishment of accounts payable in the amount of $95,150 for the year ended September 30, 2025.
Net Income (Loss)
We had a net income of $461,187 for the year ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a net loss of $21,752 for the year ended September 30, 2024. The net income for the year ended September 30, 2025 was primarily the result of a 40% increase in sales in the current period due to aggressive bidding by buyers as a result of increased aluminum as a result of Hurricane Milton in the second quarter, as well as a continued net income growth experienced from operations in the third and fourth quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2025 and 2024, our current liabilities were $2,128,544 and $1,049,564, respectively. We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2025 or 2024. The difference of $1,078,980 primarily related to the reclassification of related party debt in the amount of $1,327,171 from long-term to short-term. Additionally, the Company accrued $113,520 in compensation during the year ended September 30, 2025. However, the difference was offset somewhat by the repayment of $90,000 in convertible notes payable to related party as well as a decrease in the lease liability in the amount of $250,402.

The Company’s principal sources of funds are funds generated by its operations, as well as amounts received from affiliated loans. Such affiliated loans include both those entered into by the Company prior to the Merger and those entered into by Renovo prior to the Merger. In addition, the Company has paid operational expenses and debt on behalf of 6 LLC. As of September 30, 2025, the total paid on behalf of 6 LLC and payable to the Company is $1,009,580. These advances bear no interest, are uncollateralized and have no specific due date. As stated above under the balance sheet section, there was an increase in cash as a result of increased sales. The Company plans to apply a portion of its existing cash position to repay certain such affiliated loans and to undertake various property maintenance projects.
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40. In prior periods, substantial doubt existed regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations due to recurring losses and negative operating cash flows. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated net income and positive cash flows from operations of $744,979. These results reflect improved operating performance and strengthened liquidity.
The Company currently intends to undertake certain capital expenditures relating to certain improvements on the property where it conducts business to construct or install temporary or permanent improvements and to request or record easements relating to utilities and access, including, without limitation, driveways, fencing, gates, and utility connections. Such improvements also may include those necessary to provide special dedicated access to the Company property in favor of the County during storm conditions. These improvements shall be at the Company’s sole expense. The Company expects to expend approximately $325,000 during the next 12 months for such capital expenditures and that such expenses will be paid out of revenue generated by the Company during that period.
As part of the Company’s potential development activities on the Property, the Company has negotiated and, on August 12, 2025, entered into the Amended LLC Agreements with 6, LLC (“Amended 6, LLC Agreements”), to permit the Company to construct or install temporary or permanent improvements and to request or record easements relating to utilities and access, including, without limitation, driveways, fencing, gates, and utility connections. Such improvements also may include those necessary to provide special dedicated access to the Company Real Property in favor of the County during storm conditions. These improvements shall be at the Company’s sole expense. Any such construction activities performed by or on behalf of the Company shall be at the Company’s sole expenses and are required to be conducted by properly licensed and qualified contractors, consultants, or other professionals. Under the Amended 6, LLC Agreements, the Company may not permit any liens to attach to the Property by reason of the exercise of its rights thereunder, except any lien bonded or certain insured identified therein.
The Company’s ability to finance its working capital requirements and sustain current levels of operations, and to service or retire its outstanding debt obligation, as well as its ability to exercise its Purchase Option (described below), is dependent upon management’s ability to continue to curtail current operating expense and obtain additional financing to augment working capital requirements and support acquisition plans. In order to service or retire such loans and to exercise the Purchase Option, the Company is evaluating possible equity financings. However, the Company has not yet determined whether to pursue an equity financing at this time and there is no assurance that an equity financing will be attempted by the Company, or, in the event that the Company does pursue an equity financing, that such financing would be successful or on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $744,979 compared to $171,595 used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2024. This difference primarily related to net income in the current period coupled with a gain on extinguishment of accounts payable in the amount of $95,150 and the repayment of interest in the amount of $135,551. During the year ended September 30, 2025, there were no investing activities versus ($587,439) used in investing activities in the prior period related to the reverse merger. During the year ended September 30, 2025, our financing activities used cash of $140,500 to repay the outstanding convertible debt, and related party debt compared to $362,970 provided by financing activities during the year ended September 30, 2024 due to proceeds from related party loans.
Affiliate Loans
Prior to the Merger with Renovo, the Company had no operations and generated no revenues. As a result, the Company entered into various lending arrangements with related parties to finance its activities in connection with the preparation of its SEC filings and the negotiation of the Merger transaction. These loans were made to the Company by James K. Toomey. Several of these loans were convertible at the option of Mr. Toomey into shares of the Company’s common stock and were repaid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed all affiliated loans made to Renovo prior to the Merger, which consisted of loans made to Renovo by James K. Toomey, Lori M. Toomey, and Kristen Toomey, and their affiliated entities, including Conch and Shell Holdings, Inc., AMI Holdings, Inc., and Passing Through, LLC.
Each such affiliated loan made by one or more of James K. Toomey, Lori M. Toomey, and Kristen Toomey, and their affiliated entities, including Conch and Shell Holdings, Inc., AMI Holdings, Inc., and Passing Through, LLC (collectively referred to herein as the “Toomey Debtholders”) to the Company or Renovo prior to the Merger is referred to herein as an “Affiliate Loan” and collectively, such loans, “Company Affiliate Debt.”
The Company Affiliate Debt which was assumed by the Company from Renovo in connection with the Merger, including the Company Security (as defined below), is subordinated to the 6 LLC Bank Loan and secured by all of the assets of the Company and is secured by all of the assets of 6 LLC (the “6 LLC Security”). In addition, 6 LLC’s primary source of funds included loans made to 6 LLC by the Toomey Debtholders and their affiliated entities (such loans collectively comprise the “6 LLC Affiliate Debt”). The 6 LLC Affiliate Debt, including the 6 LLC Security, is subordinated to the 6 LLC Bank Loan. The 6 LLC Affiliate Debt is secured by all of the assets of 6 LLC, and certain of the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt is secured by the assets of the Company (the “Company Security”). As of September 30, 2025 the aggregate principal amount of the Company Security was approximately $1,327,171 and the accrued interest thereon was approximately $257,371.
Set forth below is the outstanding Company Affiliate Debt as of the September 30, 2025.

The maturity dates of the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt have been extended to December 31, 2026.
Both the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt (and the Company Security thereof) and the Company Affiliate Debt (and the 6 LLC Security thereof) are subordinated to the 6 LLC Bank Loan which has a senior secured security interest in all of the assets of the Company and 6 LLC. Although the 6 LLC Bank Loan is by and between Hancock Whitney Bank and 6 LLC, all of the assets of the Company and all of the assets of 6 LLC, including the property on which the Company conducts business, are used to secure the 6 LLC Bank Loan. As a result, Lori Toomey (a director of the Company) has pledged her personal trust as additional collateral as security for the 6 LLC Bank Loan and she is required to maintain $1 million of liquid assets in her trust.
For more information relating to the Company Affiliate Debt and the 6 LLC Debt, please see Notes 8 and 9 to the Financial Statements.
Hancock Whitney Bank Loan
The outstanding amount owed under the 6 LLC Bank Loan as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $1,595,298. Interest accrues on the 6 LLC Bank Loan at an annual rate of 6.735% and the loan was set to mature on December 31, 2026; however, 6 LLC has received a commitment letter to extend the loan by another 12 months at an annual rate of 5.75%. The 6 LLC Bank Loan has been on a year-to-year basis since 2019 and the parties historically have extended the 6 LLC Bank Loan and have entered into new loan agreements each year. However, there is no agreement to extend the 6 LLC Bank Loan each year and, as a result, there is a risk that the 6 LLC Bank Loan will not be extended beyond the current maturity date and, if it is extended, that the terms of such 6 LLC Bank Loan may be on terms more disadvantageous as those currently in place (i.e., higher interest rates to reflect current market conditions).
In the event that the 6 LLC Bank Loan is not extended or is otherwise terminated prematurely, and 6 LLC is unable to pay the outstanding balance of the 6 LLC Bank Loan, the Company may be required fulfil its obligations as a guarantor of the 6 LLC Bank Loan and repay the remaining outstanding balance of the 6 LLC Bank Loan, which may require the Company to sell its assets, seek equity investments, or replacement debt in order to raise sufficient capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing or funds to repay the 6 LLC Bank Loan or obtain such funds on favorable terms. If the Company is required to fulfil its obligations as a guarantor and is unable to secure the funds necessary to repay the 6 LLC Bank Loan, it may be difficult for us to continue our operations and if we do secure such funds, the terms thereof may be disadvantageous and have a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position.

Special Short-Term Loans for Inventory Purchases.
Following Hurricanes Helene on September 26, 2024, and Milton on October 9, 2024, the Company had an opportunity to purchase additional inventory from the public at advantageous prices. In order to obtain sufficient cash in order to fully take advantage of this opportunity, which was expected to be available for only for a relatively short period of time, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Conch and Shell Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CAS”), with a line of credit in the aggregate amount of $200,000 (the “CAS Credit Agreement”) and a credit agreement with 6 LLC, with a line of credit in the aggregate amount of $100,000 (the “6 LLC Credit Agreement” and together with the CAS Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”).
James K. Toomey and Lori M. Toomey, directors of the Company (together the “Toomey Directors”) own shares in CAS. The Renovo Owners who received Merger Shares in connection with the Merger, which includes, among others, Randall M. Moritz, director, Keri A. Moritz, director, and the Toomey Directors, also are controlling equity holders of 6 LLC.
Credit Agreements
On October 21, 2024, the Company drew $100,000 of the $200,000 available under the CAS Agreement and on October 22, 2024, the Company drew the remaining $100,000 available under the CAS Agreement. On October 23, 2024 the Company drew $100,000 (the full amount available) under the 6 LLC Credit Agreement. Amounts drawn under the Credit Agreements were used to purchase additional inventory created by Hurricane Milton.
The CAS Credit Agreement did not bear any interest expense, but rather provided for a flat fee payment of $500 to CAS, regardless of the amount drawn under such agreement. Under its terms, the CAS Credit Agreement was set to mature on December 20, 2024 and was required to be repaid in full on that date. Amounts due under the CAS Credit Agreement were permitted to be accelerated and be due and payable at CAS’ option immediately upon any incurrence of additional indebtedness or the occurrence of any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, and other customary events of default as set forth in the CAS Credit Agreement. If any Event of Default (as defined in the CAS Credit Agreement) exists and is continuing, amounts borrowed pursuant to the CAS Credit Agreement will then bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
The 6 LLC Credit Agreement also did not bear any interest expense, but rather provided for a flat fee payment of $250 to 6 LLC, regardless of the amount drawn under such agreement. The 6 LLC Credit Agreement was set to mature on December 20, 2024, and was required to be repaid in full on that date. Amounts due under the 6 LLC Credit Agreement were permitted to be accelerated and be due and payable at 6 LLC’s option immediately upon any incurrence of additional indebtedness or the occurrence of any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, and other customary events of default as set forth in the 6 LLC Credit Agreement. If any Event of Default (as defined in the 6 LLC Credit Agreement) exists and is continuing, amounts borrowed pursuant to the 6 LLC Credit Agreement will then bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Under the terms of both the CAS Credit Agreement the 6 LLC Agreement, the Company must first draw down all funds available under the CAS Agreement before any amounts may be drawn under the 6 LLC Credit Agreement.
On December 16, 2024, the Company repaid all amounts due pursuant to the CAS Credit Agreement and the 6 LLC Credit Agreement.

Subsequent Events
On December 18, 2025, the Company paid all deferred director cash compensation amounts owed to its directors for the fiscal years ended September 2024 and 2025.
On December 24, 2025, the Company modified the agreements governing the Company Affiliate Debt to extend the maturity dates of the non-convertible portions of the Company Affiliate Debt to December 31, 2026 and increase the interest rate on certain agreements. For more information regarding the extension of the Company Affiliate Debt and the increase in the interest rates, see the information described in Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions – Toomey Debtholder Loans to the Company Prior to the Merger – Promissory Notes and Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions – Renovo Affiliate Debt.
On December 24, 2025, 6 LLC modified the agreements governing the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt to extend the maturity dates to December 31, 2026 and increase the interest rate on certain agreements. For more information regarding the extension of the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt and the increase in interest rates, see the information described in Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions – 6 LLC Affiliate Debt.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 contained in this filing). On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates based upon different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable.
Management is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less profitable than it actually is. Management does not believe that the Company has made any such changes in accounting estimates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kingfish Holding Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kingfish Holding Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and how substantial doubt has been alleviated from the prior period. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.
/s/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

KINGFISH HOLDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025
1. Business:
Our Business:
Kingfish Holding Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 11, 2006 as Offline Consulting, Inc. It became Kesselring Holding Corporation on June 8, 2007 and on November 25, 2014 it changed its name to Kingfish Holding Corporation.
The primary business of the Company is to serve the recycling needs of the south Tampa Bay region. The Company built a recycling center on 10 plus acres in the southern area of the county to service customers of Manatee and Sarasota Counties. The Company purchases and containerizes both ferrous and non-ferrous materials for resale to a variety of off-take partners in more than 60 product categories. Customers are both residential and commercial in nature.
As disclosed in the Company’s previous filings, on April 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Renovo”), consummated a merger transaction pursuant to which Renovo was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the legal successor or surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Closing”). As a condition to the Merger, on April 18, 2024, the Company effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of presentation and consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc. (“Renovo”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP and presented in US dollars. The fiscal year end is September 30.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash:
Cash is maintained at a financial institution and, at times, the balance may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to the balance. Currently, the FDIC provides insurance coverage up to $
| F-6 |
| Table of Contents |
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes raw materials is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. On a monthly basis, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and reserve for inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected net realizable value, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements, or inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are written off to inventory obsolescence. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the balance of inventory was $
Accounts Receivable and Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. The Company estimates and records a provision for expected credit losses related to its consolidated financial instruments, including its trade receivables. The Company considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of its customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, the Company believes that the carrying value, net of expected losses, approximates fair value and therefore, the Company relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments, including its trade receivables.
Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the technology industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends and its expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there was no allowance.
Property and equipment, net:
Property and equipment are stated at cost at the date of purchase less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the accelerated methods over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. The useful lives range from three to seven years. The Company’s policy is to capitalize renewals and betterments acquired for greater than $
Convertible Debentures
The Company adheres to the guidance in Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in its own equity. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 removes the requirements for accounting for beneficial conversion features.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Management does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does the Company utilize derivative instruments in the management of the Company’s foreign exchange, commodity price or interest rate market risks.
| F-7 |
| Table of Contents |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
Level 2: | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and all related interpretations for recognition of its revenue from services. Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met:
| • | identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; |
|
|
|
| • | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| • | determination of the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| • | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| • | recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligation. |
The Company primarily generates revenue by purchasing scrap metal from businesses and retail customers, processing it, and selling the ferrous and non-ferrous metals to clients.
The Company realizes revenue upon the fulfillment of its performance obligations to customers. The performance obligation is fulfilled when the product is shipped or picked up by the customer.
Cost of Goods Sold:
Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of direct costs of purchasing materials from customers, including hauling, freight and fuel and labor from the process of containerizing the materials.
Leases:
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases.”
Operating leases right-of use (“ROU”) assets represents the right to use the leased assets for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is presented on the consolidated statements of operations.
| F-8 |
| Table of Contents |
Income Taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
Net income per share:
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period of computation. Diluted loss per share gives effect to potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The Company gives effect to these dilutive securities using the If-Converted Method. Potentially dilutive securities include convertible financial instruments.
At September 30, 2025, there were no potentially dilutive securities. However, as of September 30, 2024, convertible notes payable to related party of $
Segment Reporting:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*, enhancing segment expense transparency. The Company has adopted this standard in the current fiscal year. The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, which includes acquiring salvage and reselling scrap metals. The scrap metals consist of processed and unprocessed ferrous and nonferrous metals from a variety of sources including, manufacturing and industrial plants, metal fabrication plants, electric utilities, machine shops, factories, refineries, demolition businesses, wrecking companies, contractors, and retail individuals. The single segment was identified based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who they have determined to be its Chief Executive Officer, manages and evaluates performance and allocates resources.
Going Concern:
Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40. In prior periods, substantial doubt existed regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations due to recurring losses and negative operating cash flows. However, for the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company generated net income of $
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. Reverse Merger and Reverse Recapitalization
Merger – Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc.:
On April 19, 2024, Kingfish completed the Merger with Renovo. On the Closing Date, the parties consummated the Merger whereby Renovo was merged with and into Kingfish with Kingfish as the surviving legal entity.
Pursuant to the merger, each share of
The Company analyzed the acquisition under applicable guidance and determined that the acquisition should be accounted for as entities under common control. In ASC 805, control has the same meaning as controlling financial interest. A “controlling financial interest” is generally defined as ownership of a majority voting interest by one entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity. It was determined that James K. Toomey had a controlling interest in both Kingfish and Renovo. As a result the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Renovo as the accounting acquirer and Kingfish as the accounting acquiree. The financial reporting will reflect the accounting from the perspective of Renovo, except for the legal capital, which have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the capital of Kingfish in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-1. The cost of the acquisition, which represents the consideration transferred to Kingfish’s stockholders in the Merger, was calculated based on the fair value of common stock of the combined company that Kingfish stockholders own as of the closing of the Merger on April 19, 2024.
The merger transaction is considered to be a capital transaction of the legal acquiree and is equivalent to the issuance of shares by the private entity for the net monetary assets of the public shell corporation accompanied by a recapitalization.
The number of shares of Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization were as follows:

The pro forma financial information set forth below reflects adjustments to the historical data of the Company to give effect to the Merger and the related equity issuances as if each had occurred on October 1, 2023. The pro forma information presented below does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations would have been for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the Company’s future results of operations.

4. Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability
In connection with the closing on the merger (See “Note 3”), the Company entered into a lease agreement with 6 LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“6 LLC”) on April 19, 2024. Under the terms of the Lease the Company is leasing the buildings and property (“Property”) on which the Company conducts its operations from 6 LLC for annual rent of $

Certain of the Related Party Loans including the Company Security (as defined below), are subordinated to a loan between 6 LLC and Hancock Whitney Bank (the “Bank Loan”). The Related Party Loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company and certain of the Related Party Loans are secured by all of the assets of 6 LLC (the “6 LLC Security”). In addition, 6 LLC’s primary source of funds included loans made to 6 LLC by related parties and their affiliated entities (such loans collectively comprise the “6 LLC Affiliate Debt”). The 6 LLC Affiliate Debt, including the 6 LLC Security, is subordinated to the Bank Loan. The 6 LLC Affiliate Debt is secured by all of the assets of 6 LLC, and certain of the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt is secured by the assets of the Company (the “Company Security”).
| F-14 |
| Table of Contents |
Both the 6 LLC Affiliate Debt, and the Company Security thereof, and the Company Affiliate Debt, and the 6 LLC Security thereof are subordinated to the Bank Loan which has a senior secured security interest in all of the assets of the Company and 6 LLC. Although the Bank Loan is by and between Hancock Whitney Bank and 6 LLC, all of the assets of the Company and all of the assets of 6 LLC, including the property on which the Company conducts business, are used to secure the Bank Loan.
In the event that the Bank Loan is not extended or is otherwise terminated prematurely, and 6 LLC is unable to pay the outstanding balance of the Bank Loan, the Company may be required to fulfil its obligations as a guarantor of the Bank Loan and repay the remaining outstanding balance of the Bank Loan, which may require the Company to sell its assets, seek equity investments, or replacement debt in order to raise sufficient capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing or funds to repay the Bank Loan or obtain such funds on favorable terms. If the Company is required to fulfil its obligations as a guarantor and is unable to secure the funds necessary to repay the Bank Loan, it may be difficult for us to continue our operations and if we do secure such funds, the terms thereof may be disadvantageous and have a significant negative impact on the Company’s financial position.

During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC 450-20-50, “Contingencies”. The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals. As of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Purchase Option Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Merger (See Note 3), the Company entered into the Purchase Option Agreement (the “Purchase Option Agreement”) on the Closing Date with 6 LLC, which is solely held by the Renovo Owners prior to the Merger, pursuant to which, the Company will have the exclusive option, subject to certain conditions, in its sole discretion, exercisable at any time within five (
The Fair Market Value will be determined by an independent appraisal of the fair market value of the 6 LLC assets (or, upon a bona fide offer with a firm price made by an unaffiliated third party within 12 months of an exercise of the Purchase Option by the Company).
Under the terms of the Purchase Option Agreement, the Company has the option to structure the Future Acquisition in any of the following structures:
| · | a purchase in cash by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of all of the outstanding equity interests of 6 LLC (“6 LLC Equity Interests”) from the owners of the 6 LLC Equity interests (the “6 LLC Owners”), including, without limitation, all units of membership interest, directly from all of the 6 LLC Owners; |
|
|
| · | an exchange transaction by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of Company to the 6 LLC Owners whereby all of the outstanding 6 LLC Equity Interests will be exchanged for shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock;
|
| F-18 |
| Table of Contents |
| · | engage in a merger transaction by and between the 6 LLC and the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (with the surviving subsidiary entity to be determined by Company) whereby 6 LLC Owners will receive their prorated share of the aggregate Purchase Price from the payment of the merger consideration, which merger consideration shall be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Company; or |
|
| |
| · | a purchase by the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of 6 LLC, which Purchase Price shall be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Surviving Corporation. |
To the extent that any portion of the Bank Loan remains outstanding at the time of the Future Acquisition, either (i) the cash portion of the Purchase Price would be used to first payoff any such amount, or (ii) if the Company negotiates the assumption of the Bank Loan with the Bank, the dollar amount of the outstanding Bank Loan so assumed shall be applied to the payment of the Purchase Price. In each case, remaining Purchase Price proceeds (“Remaining Proceeds”) would be paid to the 6 LLC debt holders and then to the 6 LLC Owners or 6 LLC, depending on the structure of the transaction.
In the event that the Company should determine to use an acquisition structure whereby it will pay the Remaining Proceeds in Common Stock, the value of the Common Stock will be the average of the last daily sales price of Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets (otcmarkets.com), or if not reported thereby, another authoritative source selected by
The Purchase Option Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by 6 LLC, including, among other things, covenants (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the option period and consummation of a Future Acquisition transaction; (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period; (iii) not to amend or propose to amend any of its organizational documents; (iv) not to incur any additional debt obligations and (v) not to enter into, amend or modify any material contract. The Purchase Option Agreement also is subject to a number of customary closing conditions.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in providing reasonable assurance in timely alerting management to material information relating to the Company and that information required to be disclosed in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as required to be included in our periodic filings with the Commission.
The Company is currently evaluating a number of steps to enhance our disclosure controls and procedures, as well as our internal control over financial reporting, and address these material weaknesses, including: appointing specific financial reporting personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting experience, adopting policies to ensure proper internal communications and review in connection with non-routine transactions, enhancing our internal review procedures during the financial statement closing process, and designing and implementing journal entry procedures and controls. Following the completion of the Merger, the Company contracted with one financial consultant and is continuing to evaluate additional steps to enhance its disclosure controls and procedures including evaluating whether to retain additional consultants. Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, the Company believes the financial information presented herein is materially correct and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our sole officer and employee to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements and that receipts and expenditures of the Company’s assets are made in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the Company’s financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in providing reasonable assurance in timely alerting management to material information relating to the Company and that information required to be disclosed in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as required to be included in our periodic filings with the Commission.
The Company currently is thoroughly evaluating a number of steps to enhance our disclosure controls and procedures, as well as our internal control over financial reporting, and address these material weaknesses, including: appointing specific financial reporting personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting experience, adopting policies to ensure proper internal communications and review in connection with non-routine transactions, enhancing our internal review procedures during the financial statement closing process, and designing and implementing journal entry procedures and controls. Following the completion of the Merger, the Company has contracted with one financial consultant and is continuing to evaluate additional steps to enhance its disclosure controls and procedures including evaluating whether to retain additional consultants. Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, the Company believes the financial information presented herein is materially correct and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls has operated effectively in all cases. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Neither our management nor an independent registered public accounting firm has performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act because no such evaluation has been required because the Company is not an accelerated filer under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships
The following family relationships exist between the directors and executive officers of the Company: (a) Randall and Keri Moritz are husband and wife; and (b) James and Lori Toomey are husband and wife.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, or control persons has been involved in any of the legal proceedings listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.
Arrangements for Selection of Directors
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed that at the effective time of the Merger (a) it would expand the size of the Board of Directors to six and (b) to appoint the following shareholders of Renovo to the Company’s Board of Directors to fill the vacancies created thereby: Randall A. Moritz, Keri A. Moritz, and Lori M. Toomey. At the closing of the Merger, the Company increased the size of the Board and appointed such persons as directors effective as of the closing.
Except described above, there are no current arrangements or understandings between an executive officer, director, and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be elected or selected as a director or as an executive officer of the Company.
Directorships
None of the Company’s directors currently is a director of, or during the past 5 years has held any directorship in, any other company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
Although prior to the filing of its Form 15 with the Commission on September 16, 2011, the Company had previously disclosed in its filings with the Commission that it had adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees, our current management is not familiar with any such Code of Ethics and, to ensure that there are no inadvertent violations thereof, the board of directors has rescinded any and all such existing codes. Although the Company has initially determined to prepare and approve a new Code of Ethics, this was delayed and will be addressed in the future when the Company has additional resources to commit to such endeavors. Accordingly, the Company does not currently have a Code of Ethics.
Certain Corporate Governance Matters
Because the Company’s common stock is not listed on any stock exchange and more than 50% of the voting power is held by the former Renovo holders and management of the Company (which, if applicable, may deem the Company to be a “controlled company” as defined under various stock exchange rules), we are not subject to certain corporate governance requirements, including, among other things: (i) the requirement that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors; (ii) the requirement that the Company have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors or, in the absence of such committee, that nominations be approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Company; and (iii) the requirement that the Company have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing such committee’s purpose and responsibilities.
Accordingly, to the extent and for so long as we are not listed on a stock exchange or are able to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions referenced above, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. In the event that we are listed on a stock exchange and cease to be a “controlled company”, we will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods.

Our board of directors currently has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and an Executive Committee. The functions of a nominating and corporate governance committee, and any committees forming similar functions are instead being undertaken by our full board of directors and, as a result, the entire board of directors is responsible for the full oversight of the affairs of the Company not addressed by our standing committees. The following is a brief description of our committees.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of James La Manna, James Lindsay, and Ted Sparling. The Compensation Committee held two meetings during fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Mr. Sparling serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Lindsay is the sole member of this Committee that is independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2)(A). The Compensation Committee does not have a charter. However, principal responsibilities of this committee are to:
| · | Establish and review an overall compensation philosophy for the Company. |
|
|
|
| · | Select, retain and/or replace, as needed, compensation and benefits consultants and other outside consultants to provide independent advice to the Compensation Committee. |
|
|
|
| · | Review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the compensation of officers of the Company. |
|
|
|
| · | Provide input and make recommendations to the Board on individuals elected to be executive officers of the Company. |
|
|
|
| · | Review and make recommendations with respect to the Company’s existing and proposed compensation and bonus plans. |
|
|
|
| · | Serve as the committee responsible for administering the Company’s existing compensation and benefits plans. |
Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee is comprised of James La Manna, James Lindsay, and Ted Sparling. The Audit Committee held three meetings during fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Mr. Lindsay serves as chair of the Audit Committee. Mr. La Manna was appointed to the audit committee in part due to his experience with financial and accounting matters while Mr. Sparling was appointed due to the audit committee in part due to his non-involvement in the day-to-day operations of the business and his lack of any substantial conflicts of interest, including, without limitation, his relatively low ownership of Common Stock. The board of directors has determined that Mr. La Manna qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While the Company considers Mr. Sparling as independent at this point, only Mr. Lindsay is an “independent” of the audit committee within the meaning of the listing standards of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2)(A). The Audit Committee does not have a charter. However, the principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to:
| · | Appoint, oversee and set compensation for the work of the independent registered certified public accounting firm employed by the Company (including the resolution of any disagreement between management and the Company regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. Each such registered certified public accounting firm reports directly to the Audit Committee. |
|
|
|
| · | Provide open avenues of communication among the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm, financial and senior management, and the Board. |
|
|
|
| · | Pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services and other services conducted by our independent registered certified public accounting firm. |
|
|
|
| · | Periodically consult with the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm, outside of the presence of management, about internal controls and the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s financial statements. |

Executive Committee. Our Executive Committee consists of three members and is comprised of Randall A. Moritz, Ted Sparling, and Lori Toomey. Mr. Sparling serves as chair of the Executive Committee. Our Executive Committee is responsible for, among other things, assisting our board of directors in handling matters that need to be addressed before the next scheduled meeting of the board of directors. The Executive Committee did not hold any meetings during fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Stockholder Nominees of Directors. Currently, we do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our sole director established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Furthermore, given our size and lack of operations, we do not have a diversity policy as it relates to the make-up and composition of our directors who serve on the board. We also have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. To date, no stockholders have recommended any persons to be nominated for election to our board of directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board would participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Prior to the Merger, the Company did not have a formal insider trading policy due to the relatively small size of our management team and the guidance from our outside counsel to ensure compliance with Rule 10b-5, and the fact that none of our management engaged in any purchase or sales of our common stock during the year ended September 30, 2025. Since June 12, 2024, there have been no public trading markets for our common stock and the last trade made on the Company’s common stock was made on December 5, 2023. However, the Company may, in the future, take steps to have our common stock be quoted again on public trading markets and prior to being traded on any such markets, we intend to formally adopt an insider trading policy.
Compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act
The completion of our Reactivation Actions in the 2015 fiscal year resulted in the reactivation of the Company’s reporting obligations solely under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act which had been suspended since 2011. Accordingly, the Company’s securities are not registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and, as a result, the reporting obligations of Section 16 of the Exchange Act do not apply to the Company’s equity securities.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation of Executive Officers
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Randy Moritz, Renovo’s Chief Operating Officer, received annual compensation in the amount of $86,000 and $81,000 each year. During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued $100,000 for both Ted Sparling, Chief Executive Officer and Jim La Manna, Chief Financial Officer related to Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation. These bonuses are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock if, and when, the Company’s common stock resumes trading in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange, whichever should first occur.
Prior to the Merger, Renovo entered into an employment contract with Randy Moritz as general manager, which has since been elevated to Chief Operating Officer, of Renovo (the “Employment Agreement”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company assumed the Employment Agreement (and Mr. Moritz affirmatively affirmed such assumption) and the Employment Agreement remains in full force and effect as binding agreements of the Company.
No equity compensation awards have been made to employees or others and none are outstanding,

Director Compensation
Regular Director Compensation Plan
On August 4, 2025, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Director Compensation Plan (the “Director Compensation Plan”) pursuant to which directors would receive both an annual cash compensation for their services (“Cash Retainer”) and an annual equity grant (“Annual Equity Retainer”).
The amount of the Cash Retainer, which is based on whether the director is an employee or officer of the Company, is as follows:
| · | Non-Employee, Non-Officer Directors - $10,320, payable in $2,580 quarterly installments. |
|
|
|
| · | Officer Directors - $13,760, payable in $3,440 quarterly installments. |
|
|
|
| · | Employee Directors - $3,440, payable in $860 quarterly installments. |
In setting the amount of the Cash Retainer, the Board determined that employee directors should only receive nominal amounts since they are already receiving compensation for their services. As it relates to officer directors, the Board noted that its officers are not paid employees and should receive additional compensation as compared to employee directors, but less than that payable to Non-Employee, Non- Offer Directors. The Cash Retainer is based on five regular meetings of the Board of Directors. To the extent that additional meetings are called, each director would receive an additional $100 payment for each such Board meeting attended by them.
The Board also approved the payment of a flat annual fee of $100 for service by a director on each committee of the Board of Directors on which he or she serves. As the duties and responsibilities of the committee members increase and require further time and effort, the Board will re-evaluate the committee compensation based on the facts and circumstances and existing compensation trends available at that time.
Finally, the Board approved an Annual Equity Retainer of 100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Although the Corporation’s Common Stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange and the value of such shares is relatively nominal, the Board concluded that directors should have some ownership interests in the Company to align their economic interests with that of the Company’s stockholders in any further growth of the Company.
The director compensation arrangements approved by the Board was retroactively effective as of April 19, 2024, the date that the Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc. merged with an into Kingfish Holding Corporation pursuant to the Merger.

(1) | Amounts shown reflect the annual board fee and annual committee fee(s) earned during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The Cash Retainer approved by the Board was initially deferred upon approval of director compensation arrangements. On December 18, 2025, such amounts were paid by the Company. |

(3) | As disclosed above, the Board approved the Director Compensation Plan retroactive to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Cash Retainers earned in fiscal 2024 amounted to $6,880 for each of Messrs. La Manna, Toomey, and Sparling; $1,720 for Mr. Moritz; and $5,160 for each of Ms. Moritz, Ms. Toomey, and Mr. Lindsey. However, as disclosed above, the Cash Retainer for both fiscal 2024 and 2025 were initially upon approval. All such director compensation, including the Annual Cash Retaine, were paid in full on December 18, 2025. |
Pre-Merger Director Contingent Bonus Compensation
The Board also noted that those individuals serving as directors and officers of Kingfish Holding Corporation prior to the Merger had not received any significant compensation for their services, notwithstanding the significant amount of time and effort spent by each of them to, among other things: (a) clean up the outstanding receivables and financial records of the corporation, (b) prepare the necessary filings with the SEC to reactivate and maintain the public company status of the corporation, and (c) the negotiate and consummate of the merger with Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc.
The Board determined, based on recommendation of the independent member of the Compensation Committee (with Messrs. Sparling and La Manna abstaining due to their personal economic interest in this discussion), that a one-time contingent payment of $100,000 to each Pre-Merger Director (Mr. Toomey, Mr. Sparling, and Mr. La Manna, the “Pre-Merger Directors”) would be a fair payment for their services from 2018 to the closing of the Merger on April 19, 2024 when the Company had no funds from which to compensate them for their services (“Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation”).
However, based on the current financial needs of the Company and the lack of sufficient funds to pay such amounts, the independent member of the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the contingent payment of Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation to each of the Pre-Merger Directors; provided, however, that such Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation shall be payable only in shares of the Company’s common stock if, and when, the Company’s common stock resumes trading in the over the counter market or on a stock exchange, whichever should first occur (the “Trading Market Condition”). Assuming the satisfaction of the Trading Market Condition, any such Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation shall not be payable unless and until 90 days after the trading of the Corporation’s common stock resumes, if ever, in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange, whichever should first occur (the “Issuance Date”). The common stock to be issued in payment of the Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation shall be determined by calculating the average closing price of the common stock during the five trading days prior to the Issuance Date. No Pre-Merger Bonus Compensation shall be payable if the Trading Market Condition is not satisfied.

Securities Authorized under Equity Compensation Plans
On August 4, 2025, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved the Director Compensation Plan pursuant to which directors would receive both the Cash Retainer and Annual Equity Retainer. The Annual Equity Retainer consists of 100 shares of the Company’s common stock for each director as compensation for their service on the Board. Although the Company’s common stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange and the value of such shares is relatively nominal, the Board concluded that directors should have some ownership interests in the Company to align their economic interests with that of the Company’s stockholders in any further growth of the Company.

On the Merger Closing Date and in connection with the Company’s obligations in connection with the Merger, the Company entered the Purchase Option Agreement with 6 LLC and the Registration Rights Agreement with the Renovo Owners. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Renovo Owners can request, under certain circumstances and conditions, that the Company register at the Company’s expense such Merger Shares under the Securities Act so that they may be resold by the Renovo Owners, subject to certain restrictions imposed on former shell companies by the Commission’s rules and regulations. As discussed in this Annual Report, several of the Renovo Owners are current officers and directors of the Company. For additional information regarding the Purchase Option Agreement, as amended, see the information contained in Part I Item 2 in this Form 10-K.
Director Independence
There is no established trading market for our common stock and therefore the Company is not subject to director independence requirements. However, we undertook a review of the independence of our directors using the independence standards for directors provided in the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. These rules require consideration of whether any director has a material relationship with the Company that could interfere with his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. Under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2), however, a director is not considered to be independent if he or she, among other things:
| · | is, or has been within the past three years, an executive officer or employee of the Company. |
|
|
|
| · | has accepted or who has an immediate family member who has accepted, with limited exceptions thereto, any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence. |
|
|
|
| · | has an immediate family member who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer. |
| 41 |
| Table of Contents |
| · | except under specified limited circumstances, is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more. |
|
|
|
| · | is or has been, or has an immediate family member who is or has been, within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on the other company’s compensation committee. |
|
|
|
| · | is, or has an immediate family member who is , a current partner of the Company's outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company's outside auditor who worked on the Company's audit at any time during any of the past three years. |
Under such definition, as of September 30, 2025, we have concluded that only James R. Lindsay can be classified as independent. Each of our other directors are considered a non-independent director because of their appointment as executive officers of the Company.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC (“Astra”) served as our independent registered public accounting firm and, in that capacity, rendered an opinion on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

(2) | Audit-related fees consisted principally of an attestation report on management’s report on internal controls, a review of our Form 10-Q’s and related press releases, and other general miscellaneous matters. |
(3) | Tax fees consisted principally of assistance with tax compliance, preparation of returns, tax planning, and providing tax guidance. |

On June 14, 2024, the Company retained Astra as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024. As a result of the Company’s engagement of Astra on June 14, 2024, the Company dismissed Accell Audit & Compliance, P.A. as its independent auditor. |
As part of its responsibility for oversight of the independent registered public accountants, the board of directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. In accordance with this policy, each type of audit, audit related, tax and other permitted service to be provided by the independent auditors is specifically described and each service. The fees are budgeted and the board of directors requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.
