NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Collab Z Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on
In December 2024, Collab CA became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the closing of the Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated December 30, 2024 (the “Reorganization Agreement” or “Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the sole member of Collab CA exchanged
The Reorganization is being accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control by a control group. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented to retroactively present the effect of the Reorganization. See Note 3 for further detail.
Collab CA is the main operating subsidiary engaged in various real estate services, including property management, construction and renovation management, as well as EB-5 immigration investor services. Collab Z Inc., and its subsidiary, Collab CA, are at the forefront of the PropTech industry. The Company aims to transform property management by integrating community involvement and artificial intelligence to directly connect tenants with management tasks, eliminating intermediaries and enhancing efficiency.
The Company’s headquarters are located in Berkeley, California.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent a) the historical operations of Collab CA, which was formed on November 25, 2019, b) the historical operations of Collab Living LLC (“Collab Living”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 15, 2023, c) the initial capital structure of Collab Z, which was completed upon the Reorganization (see Note 1), and d) the results of Collab Z, which solely consisted of the issuance of shares (see Note 8).
In accordance with ASC 805-50-15-6, the Company determined that the share exchange was a reorganization of entities under common control. Collab Z and Collab CA maintained common control for the entire period for which the financial statements are presented through the Reorganization. The Company concluded that the entities were under common control via common ownership and common management. Specifically, the founder and former managing member of Collab CA is the founder and former Chairman of the Company and along with the YRQ Trust for which the trustees and beneficiaries are immediate family members, make up a control group that held voting and management control of Collab CA and the Company prior to and after the Reorganization
Therefore, in accordance with ASC 250-10-45 and ASC 805-50-45, the financial statements require retrospective consolidation of the entities for all periods presented. The financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 and for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are prepared on a consolidated basis which includes Collab CA and Collab Living.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities (“VIE”) as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is consolidated. The Company evaluated whether it was the primary beneficiary with its various related party entities it transacts with, and determined it is not the primary beneficiary of any entities.
Collab Living is 50% owned by Collab CA, and it was determined that Collab CA was the primary beneficiary in 2025 and 2024. Per ASC 810-10-50, the Company concluded that Collab CA was the primary beneficiary via its obligation to absorb losses (i.e. non-substantive voting rights) and its power to direct activities that most significantly impact Collab Living’s economic performance. Historically, Collab CA has funded the operations of Collab Living and Collab CA’s management has directed all Living’s activities.
In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-25, Collab Living’s results are consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. The separate assets, liabilities and results of operations of Collab Living are immaterial. Furthermore, the balance of non-controlling interests was nominal as of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, valuation of common stock and related stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions which are deemed credit worthy, in amounts that may at times exceed federally insured limits.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company has $
Investment in Joint Ventures
In March and April 2025, the Company entered into five separate limited liability company agreements (collectively, the “Joint Venture Agreements”) with five unaffiliated entities to form joint venture companies in Nevada, wherein the Company holds a
The Company holds investments in multiple joint ventures, all of which are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company exercises significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest, in each of these joint ventures. Accordingly, the investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of each joint venture’s net income or loss and other comprehensive income. The carrying amounts of these investments are evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 323-10-35 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred.
The Company evaluated the joint venture agreement under ASC 810 and determined it was not the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company accounted for the investment under ASC 323 as noted above.
As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the investment was $

Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
| ● | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. |
The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values. See Note 5 for fair value measurement disclosures.
Related Parties
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Accounts Receivable
The Company has accounts receivable with both related and third-party customers. Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount or earned fees pursuant to the agreement, are non-interest bearing and are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that the Company has identified. There was no allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.
Capitalized Software Development
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of its property management system pursuant to ASC 350-40. Costs incurred during the development phase are capitalized only when it is deemed probable that the development will result in new or additional functionality. The Company determined that its customization efforts to existing software significantly enhanced functionality, involved substantial development effort and integrated with existing systems. As such, the Company capitalized these costs during the development phase. Costs associated with the preliminary project planning phase and the post-implementation phase are expensed as incurred. The capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The system, which is expected to be the backbone of the Company’s property management service, was developed between November 2023 and August 2024, at which point it was ready for use. The Company began amortizing the costs over a three-year period starting in August 2024. Furthermore, in 2025 the Company began capitalizing another internally developed application. As of December 31, 2025, the application was not yet placed in service and therefore amortization has not commenced. See Note 6.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from services in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when or as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps as prescribed by ASC 606:
| (i) | identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| (ii) | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| (iii) | determine the transaction price; |
| (iv) | allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| (v) | recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies performance obligations. |
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect substantially all the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has applied ASC 606 on a portfolio basis. The Company has elected the practical expedients, allowing the recognition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred, and not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.
The Company generates revenue through the following streams:
Property Management
The Company provides property management services for rental properties that include various elements based on the underlying contractual agreement. The Company earns a fixed percentage of monthly lease income. This revenue is recognized on an ongoing, monthly basis. The Company earns additional fees based on a fixed percentage of property-related expenses such as repairs and maintenance at the time the underlying costs are incurred. The Company, at times, is also eligible to earn commissions on the first month of a new lease agreement. Certain managed properties include a profit share arrangement based on guaranteed rental income whereby the Company shares in the excess rental income over the guaranteed amounts. No losses have been incurred based on these guarantees. The Company recognizes this revenue at the point in time the excess rental income is known. The Company recognizes this revenue monthly, when the profit share information becomes known.
Development and Construction Management
The Company provides services consisting of the oversight of property development and construction projects, including budget monitoring and timeline management. Development fees are recognized on an ongoing monthly basis through the completion of the service period.
Procurement
The Company facilitates procurement of materials and supplies for construction projects as well as provides related services for design of procured goods. Procurement fees related to ordered goods are recognized at a point in time upon the completion of the procurement service, which is shipment of the related materials. Revenue for design services are recognized at point in time when the related services are complete.

Renovation Management
Renovation management services include assisting in the acquisition, renovation, and disposition of properties. Renovation fees are recognized on an ongoing, monthly basis through the completion of the service period, which is based on the time elapsed of the renovation project. The Company also earns renovation service fees, which are recognized over time as the project progresses based on the actual costs incurred of the underlying renovation project. Acquisition and disposition fees are recognized at a point in time after the acquisition of the property.
EB-5 Immigration Investor Services
The Company identifies EB-5 immigration investment projects and assists investors with project identification, assistance and support during the project application process. Fees are recognized at a point in time upon the fulfillment of the EB-5 service obligations, which is when the EB-5 application package has been submitted. Payments are typically billed immediately, or in two tranches, and any deferred revenue is recognized once performance obligations are met.
Consulting Services
The Company provides other real estate consulting services to both related and third parties that are defined by respective service agreements. Consulting services may include terms whereby there are a set of deliverables required for which revenue will be recognized over time as the deliverables are satisfied. Each contract is assessed for performance obligations. There is generally no right of return or refund related to these services.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company earned $

Concentrations
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025,
To date the Company has been highly dependent on related party customers as its primary source of revenue and cash flows from operations. The Company may be negatively affected by the loss of one of these customers, or a change in the related party relationship.
Future Equity Obligations
The Company has issued Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) in exchange for cash financing. These amounts are classified as future equity obligations, which are long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has accounted for its SAFE investments as liability derivatives for which the Company will record changes to fair value through earnings.
Common Stock Subject to Redemption
The Company accounts for its shares of common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480. Shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common shares classified as stockholders’ equity. The shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreements (see above and Note 8) feature certain redemption rights subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events, including the Company’s contemplated future public offering, and therefore are classified within temporary or mezzanine equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employee consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards with service-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense for using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s costs are classified.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

Subscription Receivable
The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a subscription receivable as an asset on a balance sheet. When subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under FASB ASC 505-10-45-2, the subscription is reclassified as a contra account to stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Net earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, there were an indeterminable number of shares that were potentially dilutive based on the Company’s outstanding future equity obligations for which conversion is contingent on a future event (see Note 7). As of December 31, 2025, the Company had

Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), we identify our operating segments according to how our business activities are managed and evaluated. ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are consolidated net income or loss. These metrics are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used for such measurements were as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2025 Using: | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
| Future equity obligations | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||
| Future equity obligations | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||
The Company measures the simple agreements for future equity at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes it to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the future equity obligations uses assumptions and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company assesses these assumptions and estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. Changes in the fair value of the simple agreements for future equity related to updated assumptions and estimates are recognized within the statements of operations.
The simple agreements for future equity may change significantly as additional data is obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions regarding probabilities of outcomes used to estimate the fair value of the liability. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in future periods.
The Company utilized a probability-weighted average approach based on the estimated market value of the underlying securities and the potential settlement outcomes of the simple agreements for future equity, including a liquidity event or future equity financing as well as other settlement alternatives. Both the market value of the underlying securities and the probability of the settlement outcomes include unobservable Level 3 inputs.
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company assumed a

Minimum Rental Guarantee
The Company has a minimum rental guarantee for certain related party managed properties whereby the Company will pay the difference between the collected rent and the minimum rent guarantee. These guarantees require the Company to ensure a specified minimum gross revenue each month. Should the properties’ gross revenues fall below these thresholds, the Company is required to compensate for the shortfall. The maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees is estimated based on historical occupancy rates and market trends to project potential future shortfalls. The minimum rent guarantee thresholds are calculated annually based on the local market occupancy rates and prevailing market rental rates. The minimum rent guarantee terms are stipulated to last for the duration of the property management agreements unless terminated by either party or amended by mutual agreement. These agreements can be terminated by either party by providing 30 days’ notice.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. We have no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this annual report include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our offerings, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which are based on currently available information. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations and assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Our statements should not read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
| ● | changes in the market acceptance of our software solutions and offerings; | |
| ● | our ability to successfully execute our growth strategy and enter into new markets; | |
| ● | our ability to expand in existing and new markets; | |
| ● | increased levels of competition; | |
| ● | our relationships with our key customers; | |
| ● | changes in customer preferences and the level of acceptance of our software services; | |
| ● | our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees; | |
| ● | our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technological developments; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and | |
| ● | other risks, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this quarterly report. |
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Overview
Collab Z Inc., through its subsidiary, Collab CA LLC, has developed its pioneering Collab Platform, a first-of-its-kind Community-Based Property Management model that is designed to replace traditional property management practice by enabling community involvement and by leveraging modern technology, including artificial intelligence features currently under development.

With a four-year lead over new market entrants and the ability to scale instantly without local staffing, Collab Z uniquely positions itself against both traditional property management firms and SaaS-based ProTech competitors.

Our vision is to revolutionize the real estate sector by maximizing community engagement in their living and working spaces for an autonomous and collaborative living experience.
We are committed to innovation, focusing on delivering substantial long-term value to our shareholders and improving the quality of life for our property owners, tenants, Community Pros, or CPs, and professional service providers. As we expand, our Collab Platform will continue to lead the shift towards a more connected and engaged property management ecosystem.
Collab Z’s fiscal year ends September 30th.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company earns revenue from the following streams:
Property Management
The Company provides property management services for rental properties that include various elements based on the underlying contractual agreement. The Company earns a fixed percentage of monthly lease income. This revenue is recognized on an ongoing, monthly basis. The Company earns additional fees based on a fixed percentage of property-related expenses such as repairs and maintenance at the time the underlying costs are incurred. The Company, at times, is also eligible to earn commissions on the first month of a new lease agreement. Certain managed properties include a profit share arrangement based on guaranteed rental income whereby the Company shares in the excess rental income over the guaranteed amounts. No losses have been incurred based on these guarantees. The Company recognizes this revenue at the point in time the excess rental income is known. The Company recognizes this revenue monthly, when the profit share information becomes known.
Development and Construction Management
The Company provides services consisting of the oversight of property development and construction projects, including budget monitoring and timeline management. Development fees are recognized on an ongoing monthly basis through the completion of the service period.
Procurement
The Company facilitates procurement of materials and supplies for construction projects, particularly from international sources. Procurement fees are recognized at a point in time upon the completion of the procurement service, which is shipment of the related materials.
23
Renovation Management
Renovation management services include assisting in the acquisition, renovation, and disposition of properties. Renovation fees are recognized on an ongoing, monthly basis through the completion of the service period, which is based on the time elapsed of the renovation project. The Company also earns renovation service fees, which are recognized over time as the project progresses based on the actual costs incurred of the underlying renovation project. Acquisition and disposition fees are recognized at a point in time after the acquisition of the property.
EB-5 Immigration Investor Services
The Company identifies EB-5 immigration investment projects and assists investors with project identification, assistance and support during the project application process. Fees are recognized at a point in time upon the fulfillment of the EB-5 service obligations, which is when the EB-5 application package has been submitted. Payments are typically billed immediately, or in two tranches, and any deferred revenue is recognized once performance obligations are met.
Consulting Services
The Company provides other real estate consulting services to both related and third parties that are defined by respective service agreements. Consulting services may include terms whereby there are a set of deliverables required for which revenue will be recognized over time as the deliverables are satisfied. Each contract is assessed for performance obligations. There is generally no right of return or refund related to these services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes operations personnel supporting the Company’s real estate services, specifically those personnel who work directly on property management as well as development, construction, renovation and EB-5 projects. Cost of revenue also includes software costs incurred to maintain the Company’s property management system, as well as amortization of capitalized software costs.
Operating Expenses
Sales And Marketing
Our sales and marketing costs consists primarily of salaries and other related costs for business development personnel and advertising and marketing costs. We expect that our sales and marketing expense will increase significantly on an absolute dollar basis and vary from period-to-period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future as we focus on building out our third-party customer facing organization and expanding our brand.
General and Administrative Expense
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel in our executive, finance, corporate development and administrative functions. General and administrative expense also includes professional fees for legal, accounting, information technology, travel, insurance, software costs and expenses related to our operations at our headquarters, including rent.
We expect that our general and administrative expense will increase on an absolute dollar basis and vary from period-to-period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future as we focus on processes, systems and controls to enable our internal support functions to scale with the growth of our business. We expect to incur increased expenses associated with being a public company, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax compliance services, costs related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and exchange listing standards, higher director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) primarily includes interest expense on the Company’s debt, as well as interest income earned and income (loss) on joint ventures.

Related party revenue increased by $153,729 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $383,596 as compared to $229,867 in the prior period. The increase was primarily due to increased consulting services of $208,900 and development and construction management fees of $49,503, partially offset by a decrease in property management of $55,966, and a decrease in procurement revenue of $48,708. Consulting services were primarily related to EB5 services, for which the Company provides support services for EB5 applicants and the EB5 project.
Revenues from third parties was $99,647 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, consisting of consulting fees performed and property management services to third parties. In 2024, the Company generated revenue of $200,000 for consulting services.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was $77,367 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $82,810 in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a lower third-party revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
25
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $55,394 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $59,920 as compared to $4,526 in the prior period. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs assisting with business development.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $40,046 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $261,837 as compared to $221,791 in the prior period. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs and professional services as we expanded our operations, increased headcount and incurred professional costs in connection with our contemplated initial public offering.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) was $10,593 and ($7,405) for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which primarily consisted of interest income from a note receivable and income on joint ventures of $2,238, compared to $8,710 interest expense on the Company’s outstanding line of credit, offset by other income of $1,305 during the prior period.
Net Income
Net income was $94,712 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a net income of $113,335 for the prior period. The decrease of income of $18,623 was primarily due to increased operating expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital, business development and system development. We historically funded our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operations, proceeds from related parties and debt and equity financings.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had $250,904 in cash as of December 31, 2025, and $892,747 in amounts due from related parties. The Company is heavily reliant on related parties as its primary revenue and cash flow sources and has historically generated revenues from sources that may not be recurring.
The Company is in its early stage, and we expect to incur significant costs to expand its operations and conduct its business plan, which may result in future losses if it cannot effectively market its products and achieve market acceptance.
Management’s Plans
We believe substantial doubt has been alleviated for a period of at least 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued based on the following:
The net due to and from related parties’ balances at December 31, 2025, which are expected to be fully collected and paid, provide for a net positive effect to cash of approximately $0.87 million. In addition, third party receivables and the note receivable are expected to be paid and create cash inflows of $0.5 million in aggregate. These funds are expected to provide the Company with operating capital sufficient to cover basic operations while the Company makes efforts to increase revenue and maintain cost management to make operations more profitable and sustainable. Lastly, the Company is seeking to raise capital via an equity offering. In the event the Company does not complete an offering, the Company expects to seek additional funding through private equity offering, debt and/or related party financings to provide additional operating capital. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

Cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $139,797 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to ($800,816) for the prior period. Cash provided during the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the receipt from repayment of loan receivable of $250,000, partially offset by the repayment of due to related parties of $40,811 and a software capitalization of $69,392. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to issuance of loan receivable of $1,470,000, partially offset by receipts from related parties of $669,184.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $106,993 and $558,028 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 included $1,300,000 in proceeds from the Company’s revolving line of credit, partially offset by $741,942 in repayment to due to related parties.
Debt
Revolving Line of Credit
On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with East West Bank for a principal amount of up to $2,000,000. The loan was to on March 14, 2026, was secured by an assignment of a deposit account held by Collab CA’s former member, YRQ Irrevocable Trust, and was intended exclusively for business operations. The loan had a variable interest rate based on the interest rate of the collateral’s certificate of deposit plus 1.5%. The initial rate was set at 5.905%. The loan required monthly interest payments, and full repayment of principal and accrued interest due at maturity.
During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1,300,000, which was used to provide a loan to a third party (see Note 4). On February 4, 2025, the Company paid off the line of credit with the funds from the collection of the Company’s due from related parties and receivables. As a result, the line of credit was closed prior to its contractual maturity date, and no amounts were outstanding or available under the facility as of December 31, 2025.
Future Equity Obligations
In April 2023, the Company entered into a SAFE agreement for proceeds of $25,000. The SAFE has a valuation cap of $50,000,000 and a discount of 25%, which will be applied to the valuation of the Company at the time of the triggering event in order to calculate the price per share for the investor.
The SAFE will convert into equity upon the occurrence of a future qualified financing round of at least $10,000,000 or another triggering event, including the event of a merger, acquisition or initial public offering (“IPO”).
As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the fair value of SAFEs was $25,000 and $25,000, respectively. See Note 5 for fair value disclosures.
Due to Related Parties
Due to related parties includes cash advances received from various related parties. These advances are unsecured, due on demand and non-interest bearing. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the amounts outstanding were $26,937 and $16,605 respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the following:
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from services in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when or as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps as prescribed by ASC 606:
| (i) | identify the contract(s) with a customer; |
| (ii) | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| (iii) | determine the transaction price; |
| (iv) | allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| (v) | recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies performance obligations. |
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect substantially all the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, the performance obligations in each contract and whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has applied ASC 606 on a portfolio basis. The Company has elected the practical expedients, allowing the recognition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred, and not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and are recognized over the employee’s required service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Related Parties
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. The Company discloses related party transactions that are outside of normal compensatory agreements, such as salaries. There were no related party transactions during the year other than normal compensatory arrangements, consistent with the prior year. The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
28
Common Stock Valuations
An “established trading market” for the Company’s common stock does not exist. In 2024, the fair value of the shares of common stock was determined based on public company comparables, specifically microcap companies in similar industries including PropTech and technology platform services. The Company then applied a discount factor accounting for the private to public discount and minority interest discount, which was estimated using comparable valuations. In 2025, the Company considered the planned go-public transaction and the estimated price, as well as Series B preferred shares sold near year end, and estimated the accretion of value over the period until estimated IPO to estimate the fair value of common stock.
Following the completion of this offering, the fair value of our common stock will be based on the closing price as reported on the date of grant on the primary stock exchange on which our common stock is traded.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing at the end of this annual report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has a minimum rental guarantee for certain related party managed properties whereby the Company will pay the difference between the collected rent and the minimum rent guarantee. These guarantees require the Company to ensure a specified minimum gross revenue each month. Should the properties’ gross revenues fall below these thresholds, the Company is required to compensate for the shortfall. The maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees is estimated based on historical occupancy rates and market trends to project potential future shortfalls. The minimum rent guarantee thresholds are calculated annually based on the local market occupancy rates and prevailing market rental rates. The minimum rent guarantee terms are stipulated to last for the duration of the property management agreements unless terminated by either party or amended by mutual consent. These agreements can be terminated by either party by providing 30 days’ notice.
As of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, the maximum potential rental guarantees were approximately $102,000 per month. Since entering into these terms, the Company has achieved occupancy rates at all properties at or above market rental rates. As such, there have been no shortfall payments incurred by Collab Z to date.
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any other off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.
Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:
| ● | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related disclosure in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this annual report; |
| ● | being permitted to provide less extensive narrative disclosure than other public companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; |
| ● | being permitted to utilize exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; |
| ● | being permitted to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and |
| ● | being permitted to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors. |
29
We have taken advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements in this annual report. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
An emerging growth company can also take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this exemption from new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth company; however, we have and may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under applicable SEC rules. We expect that we will remain an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future but cannot retain our emerging growth company status indefinitely and will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company on or before the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.
Smaller Reporting Company
We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last trading day of our second quarter and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last trading day of our second quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last trading day of our second quarter. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. For example, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report at the reasonable assurance level.
30
Based upon our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that exist as of December 31, 2025. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
| ● | The Company did not design and maintain an effective control environment as our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses. |
| ● | The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to verify appropriate segregation of duties. |
| ● | The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to substantially all accounts and disclosures. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain comprehensive and formalized accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures that detail the information needed for our financial reporting process, including a robust review process by which management monitors for technical accounting requirements. |
| ● | The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology (IT) general controls over information systems that are relevant to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not design and maintain: (i) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel; (ii) program change management controls to ensure that program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that processing and transfer of data, and data backups and recovery are monitored; and (iv) program development controls to ensure that new software development is tested, authorized and implemented appropriately. |
These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement to any of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management of the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Furthermore, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by the collusion of two or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
