SELECTED BALANCE SHEET DATA

Balance sheet data as of March 31, 2026 (unaudited) and December 31, 2025 (audited).

Revenue

Consolidated revenue for Q1 2026 was $2,079,735, compared to $-0- in Q1 2025. The prior-year period recorded no consolidated revenue because the acquisition of AI UltraProd had not yet closed; accordingly, a year-over-year percentage change is not presented. All Q1 2026 revenue is attributable to AI UltraProd, which contributed $1,959,252 in product revenue from the sale of AI-driven 3D-printed structures and components, and $120,483 in service revenue from technical consulting and installation services.

On a standalone basis, AI UltraProd experienced substantial revenue growth during the period. As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed in connection with the acquisition, AI UltraProd generated RMB 2,273,771 in revenue (unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, AI UltraProd generated RMB 14,395,511 in revenue (unaudited) – an increase of approximately 533% year over year at the subsidiary level. This growth reflects expanded customer activity and the continued scaling of AI UltraProd’s manufacturing operations in China.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for Q1 2026 was $185,326, representing a gross margin of 8.9%. No gross profit was recorded in Q1 2025 given the absence of revenue. The gross margin reflects the capital-intensive, project-based nature of AI UltraProd’s 3D manufacturing business, where cost of revenue is primarily composed of direct material and labor costs associated with the design and production of large-format structures. Management views this level of a positive gross margin as a meaningful milestone and expects gross margins to improve as the business scales.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $511,181 for Q1 2026, compared to $90,935 in Q1 2025. The increase reflects the first full quarter of consolidated operations following the AI UltraProd acquisition and is comprised of general and administrative expenses of $442,193, research and development expenses of $66,853, and selling and marketing expenses of $2,135. Operating expenses in Q1 2025 consisted solely of corporate-level general and administrative expenses, as AI UltraProd was not yet part of the consolidated group.

Net Loss

Net loss for Q1 2026 was ($401,512), or ($389,137) net of non-controlling interests, compared to a net loss of ($94,365) in Q1 2025. The loss from operations of ($325,855) was partially offset by a deferred tax benefit of $13,757 but further impacted by net other expenses of ($89,414), which included ($68,171) in interest expense on outstanding borrowings and ($11,400) in fair value adjustments on convertible notes payable. Loss per share was ($0.02) on a basic and diluted basis, calculated on weighted average shares outstanding of 18,189,590 – a 68% reduction from the 56,333,864 weighted average shares in Q1 2025, reflecting the Company’s previously announced Share Reduction Program.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total stockholders’ equity attributable to SecureTech shareholders was $10,496,741 as of March 31, 2026, compared to a stockholders’ deficit of ($210,755) as of March 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $407,580 as of March 31, 2026, from $233,825 at December 31, 2025. Total liabilities declined to $6,769,724 from $7,115,144 at year-end 2025. Total equity, including non-controlling interests, was $11,785,090, compared to $11,774,472 at December 31, 2025.

J. Scott Sitra, SecureTech’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Q1 2026 is a landmark quarter for SecureTech. For the first time in our history, we are reporting meaningful first-quarter revenue — more than $2 million generated entirely by AI UltraProd, which has continued to scale impressively since the acquisition. We believe this operational foundation positions us well as we pursue our NASDAQ listing and focus on building long-term shareholder value.”

“What makes these results even more compelling is that Q1 is historically AI UltraProd's slowest quarter. Achieving 533% year-over-year revenue growth during our seasonally weakest period speaks to the potential ahead as we scale operations and expand into new markets, particularly the U.S.,” added Mr. Sitra.
