• Return to Revenue and Profitability

  The company reported sales of $3,264,924 and a net income of $244,062 for Q1 2026, a significant improvement from $0 revenue and a net loss of $(345,336) in Q1 2025, following the establishment of its new Hong Kong subsidiary.

• 100% Reliance on Related Party Transactions

  All sales for the quarter were to Shanghai Huaxin, a related party (CEO holds 10% equity), and all purchases were from Yongliansen, another related party (CEO holds 30% equity). This indicates a complete dependence on related entities for core operations.

• Critical Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

  Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to insufficient U.S. GAAP knowledge and inadequate segregation of duties, posing significant governance risks.

• Precarious Liquidity and Related Party Funding

  The company maintains an extremely low cash balance of $3,221 and negative working capital of $(2,276,727). Daily operations continue to be funded by the CEO and CFO, with $3,275,091 in related party payables due on demand.

This quarterly report shows Rubber Leaf Inc's return to revenue generation and profitability after disposing of its problematic PRC subsidiary. However, the company's entire sales and cost of sales for the quarter are with related parties, raising significant governance and operational independence concerns. Furthermore, management identified critical material weaknesses in internal controls, indicating a high risk environment. The company's cash position remains extremely low, with ongoing reliance on funding from its CEO and CFO for daily operations.
