EXPLANATORY NOTE
As previously disclosed, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s year end from December 31 to June 30 of each calendar year. As a result of the change, the Company is filing this Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the six-month period starting January 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2025, which is the period between the closing of the Company’s most recent fiscal year on December 31, 2024 and the opening date of the Company’s newly selected fiscal year on July 1, 2025. During the transition period, the Company elected to a file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and expects to file quarterly reports based on the new fiscal year beginning with the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025.

PART I.
Item 1. Business
Change in Year-End
The Company historically reported on a calendar year basis ending on December 31. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s year-end from December 31 to June 30 of each calendar year, effective June 30, 2025. The change aligns the fiscal years of the Company with the Bloomia business and reflects the seasonality of the Bloomia business. The Company is filing this Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the six-month transition period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. In this Transition Report on Form 10-KT, the calendar years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are referred to as “Calendar Year 2024” and “Calendar Year 2023,” respectively, and reflect financial results for the twelve-month period from January 1 to December 31.
General
This Transition Report on Form 10-KT is being filed by the registrant, Lendway, Inc. (“Lendway,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company”), a Delaware corporation. Our company was initially organized as a Minnesota corporation in 1990. Effective August 4, 2023, we changed our name from “Insignia Systems, Inc.” and reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. Our common stock trades under the symbol “LDWY” on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
The Company has evolved into a specialty agricultural (“ag”) company focused on making and managing its ag investments in the United States (“U.S.”) and internationally. The Company is the majority owner of Fresh Tulips USA LLC, Bloomia B.V., and its affiliated entities, collectively referred to as “Bloomia.” Bloomia is a significant producer of fresh cut tulips (“stems”) in the U.S.
On February 22, 2024, the Company acquired Bloomia B.V., the parent of Fresh Tulips USA LLC, for a purchase price of $47.5 million, financed with Company cash, a new credit facility, promissory notes payable to the sellers and issuing an equity interest in the new company (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed through Tulp 24.1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Tulipa Acquisitie Holding B.V., Tulp 24.1, LLC, Tulipa Acquisitie Holding B.V., Fresh Tulips USA LLC and Bloomia B.V. and its affiliated entities. Bloomia is one of the largest producers of fresh cut tulips in the United States, nurturing over 90 million stems annually. Bloomia purchases tulip bulbs, hydroponically grows tulips from the bulbs, and sells the stems to retail stores. The Company’s primary focus in the near-term will be on the Bloomia business. The purchase of Bloomia was financed, partially with funds from the sale of the Company’s legacy business of providing in-store advertising solutions (the “In-Store Marketing Business”) for a price of $3,500,000.
The operations of the In-Store Marketing Business are presented as discontinued operations beginning with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the quarter in which the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business met the criteria as discontinued operations. All previous periods presented have been restated to present the In-Store Marketing Business as discontinued operations. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Part II, Item 8, of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT for a further description of the impact of the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company had previously planned to also develop a non-bank lending business via its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmland Credit, Inc. Promptly after receiving a notice of resignation from the Company’s then-serving Chief Executive Officer in June 2024, our Board of Directors reexamined the Company’s strategic position and prospects. Primarily because the departing Chief Executive Officer represented nearly all of the Company’s knowledge and expertise relating to the purchase of existing loans and/or origination and funding of new loans, the Company has determined to focus solely on the ag business. Because the non-bank lending business remained in development, this change did not have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial results.

Bloomia Acquisition
On February 22, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Bloomia B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. The Acquisition was completed through Tulp 24.1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “Tulp 24.1”) and Tulipa Acquisitie Holding B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tulp 24.1 ( “Tulipa”, together with Tulp 24.1, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Shares (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Tulp 24.1, Tulipa, Botman Bloembollen B.V. (“Botman”), W.F. Jansen, who has continued to serve as chief executive officer of Bloomia (“Jansen”), and H.J. Strengers (“Strengers”, together with Botman and Jansen, the “Sellers”) and Lendway, as the Guarantor. Following the Acquisition, Tulp 24.1 became the holder of 100% of the ownership interests of Bloomia. As a result of the Acquisition, Lendway holds an 81.4% ownership interest in Tulp 24.1 and Jansen owns the remaining 18.6% ownership interest.
The Acquisition was paid with $9,200,000 of the Company’s cash, $22,800,000 of proceeds from a new revolving credit and term loan agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Tulp 24.1 as the borrower (the “Borrower”) for a $18,000,000 term loan and a $6,000,000 revolving credit facility, and promissory notes payable to the sellers totaling $15,500,000. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of Tulp 24.1 under the Credit Agreement. On October 16, 2024 the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, temporarily increase the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $8,000,000 until March 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Company subsequently reduced the outstanding balance to $6,000,000 as of March 31, 2025. The Amended Credit Agreement contains ongoing affirmative and negative covenants that Tulp 24.1 is required to comply with.
About Bloomia
Bloomia was founded in the Netherlands and has grown to become a leader in the fresh cut tulip industry in the U.S. Bloomia’s fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30 of each fiscal year. Bloomia nurtured over 90 million stems in the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. Bloomia operates from three strategically positioned locations in the United States, the Netherlands and South Africa, and also has a 30% interest in a greenhouse business in Chile.
Bloomia operates greenhouses to hydroponically grow tulips at its United States and South Africa locations. Bloomia has invested in automation in its U.S. greenhouse in recent years that has increased production efficiency. Bloomia has historically sourced tulip bulbs from producers in the Netherlands, Chile, and New Zealand, which provides for year-round supply. Bulbs from the Southern Hemisphere are generally used from the end of August to early December, with the Northern Hemisphere produced bulbs used the remainder of the year.
In the United States, Bloomia has established business relationships with prominent retailers. A small number of mass-market retailers in the U.S. have historically accounted for more than 85% of Bloomia’s total annual sales. Bloomia has expanded sales across the United States while the majority of sales occurring on the East Coast. Bloomia aims to offer premium tulip stems, the result of sourcing larger bulbs, that have a longer shelf life than imported stems. Growing tulip stems domestically allows for higher margins because the freight costs for importing bulbs by sea have been substantially less than the costs associated with importing stems by air.
In the Netherlands, Bloomia’s office facilitates the sourcing of bulbs, conditioning to prepare bulbs for planting, and shipping of bulbs to its United States and South Africa facilities.
5
In South Africa, Bloomia’s wholly owned subsidiary operates a greenhouse that has produced an average of approximately 3.5 million tulip stems per year over the last five years. The facility is capable of growing tulips hydroponically year-round.
In Chile, Bloomia has a minority ownership interest in Araucania Flowers S.A. (“Araucania”). The operation grows tulips hydroponically year-round. Araucania traditionally sells to retailers located in Chile and Brazil.
Customers
Bloomia has well established customer relationships. In the U.S., Bloomia sells stems to some of the largest mass-market retailers. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Bloomia had approximately 30 customers in the U.S. Of those customers, four individually represented greater than 10% of Bloomia’s revenue, accounting for 17%, 16%, 12%, and 11% of its U.S. revenue during the six months ended June 30 2025.
Industry
The estimated market for cut flowers in the United States for 2024 is approximately $8 billion, of which approximately 80% is imported and around 20% is produced within the U.S. Of overall cut flowers sales, approximately 15% is represented by tulip stems. Bloomia believes it has a market share of approximately 20% of the cut tulips grown in the U.S. Barriers to entry are considered high due to the need for high volumes and efficient operations to generate significant profitability.
Seasonality
In the U.S., the tulip industry has historically been highly seasonal due to peak demand between January to May, supported by the Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day holidays, and also because of the tulip bulbs’ growing season in traditional sourcing areas. Historically, over seventy percent of annual revenue is earned in the six month period between January and June. To facilitate those sales, the Company purchases bulbs between July and November to grown into stems sold in the peak season. The tulip market is growing outside of the peak season, as demand increases for other events such as birthdays and weddings. As one of only a few tulip producers in the U.S. with sourcing of bulbs from the Southern Hemisphere, we believe Bloomia is well positioned to fill this growing demand.
Competition
Bloomia competes with both local (U.S.) producers and foreign producers who import cut tulips, primarily from the Netherlands. Bloomia has carved out a strong competitive position amongst U.S. growers by developing unique infrastructure through the combination of hydroponics and an integrated supply chain. Growing tulips in a greenhouse using hydroponics enables year-round production and requires less water and nutrients to grow the stems, and results in tulips that are better quality and have a longer shelf life. By sourcing tulip bulbs from both the Netherlands and the Southern Hemisphere, Bloomia is able to offer quality fresh cut tulips year-round, meeting unmet demand. The Company mainly imports tulips bulbs to be grown into tulip stems in the U.S., which gives it a strategic advantage over competitors who import tulip stems which may be subject to higher tariffs.

Supply Chain
The supply chain steps for U.S. operations are detailed below:
Step 1: Procure bulbs: Purchase bulbs from established suppliers in the Netherlands or Southern Hemisphere.
Step 2: Buffer storage: Bulbs kept in cooled storage in the Netherlands.
Step 3: Shipping to U.S.: Bulbs are shipped via ocean containers.
Step 4: Rooting: Bulbs are prepared for growing.
Step 5: Growing: Bulbs are moved into the greenhouse.
Step 6: Harvesting: Tulips are cut and wrapped.
Step 7: Storage: Stems are stored in a cooled warehouse to prevent spoilage.
Step 8: Transport: Stems are transported to retailer’s distribution centers.
Step 9: Sales: Consumer sales at mass-market retailers.
During the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, Bloomia sourced bulbs to grow over 90 million stems. Approximately 80% of bulbs were sourced from the Netherlands and 20% from the Southern Hemisphere. The Netherlands has around 600 tulip bulb growers, who jointly export over 2.5 billion tulip bulbs each year. Over the past five years, Bloomia has sourced from the 10 largest producers, 20 medium-sized producers, as well as from smaller producers; 80% of our supply comes from 20% of our suppliers.
The Netherlands’ large-scale production of tulip bulbs has created an efficient marketplace for Bloomia to source bulbs. The large majority of Bloomia’s contracts for purchase of bulbs from growers in the Netherlands are short term; however, Bloomia has a long history with most of its suppliers. Bulb contracts obligate Bloomia only to buy an agreed upon volume of bulbs; bulb price is established through market pricing. Due to recent poor growing conditions in the Netherlands, the supply of bulbs has decreased, increasing the price per bulb.
To help facilitate year-round growing, Bloomia has routinely sourced bulbs from Chile and more recently began sourcing bulbs from New Zealand. Chile and New Zealand are currently the only countries in the Southern Hemisphere with bulb production at volume. By sourcing bulbs from around the world, Bloomia has bulbs that are ready for planting year-round, limiting its reliance on importing stems. Year-round production results in Bloomia being less exposed to higher logistics costs that result from importing stems.
Bloomia has also made investments to automate its greenhouse. The automation of the greenhouse allows Bloomia to:
| ● | scale production faster if needed to meet demand; |
| ● | increase greenhouse efficiency resulting in higher margins, and; |
| ● | reduce its dependence on seasonal labor. |
Bloomia and its customers conduct regular purchase planning meetings, enabling Bloomia to plan for delivery volume and timing. Bloomia is also a member of three trade associations; providing import/export logistics support, marketing support, and support for conducting business with wholesalers.
Intellectual Property: Patents and Trademarks
Bloomia holds a trademark on its name and logo. Certain employees are required to enter into nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements. Customers, vendors and other third parties also must agree to nondisclosure restrictions to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets or other confidential or proprietary information.

Environmental Matters
We believe our operations follow all applicable environmental regulations within the jurisdictions in which we operate. The costs and effects of compliance with these regulations have not been and are not expected to become material.
Importers of cut flowers air ship stems to the U.S., while Bloomia ships bulbs via sea containers. Bloomia’s business model (shipping bulbs for local production) lowers its carbon footprint compared to importers of cut flowers. Hydroponic farming method is free of pesticides, requires less water and has fewer diseases, and requires substantially fewer import shipments.
Governmental Regulation
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation by various governmental agencies. Bloomia has an import permit from the USDA for shipments of tulip bulbs. For import of bulbs from the Netherlands to the U.S., Bloomia participates in a pre-clearance program with the USDA where the climate-controlled tulip bulb shipments are inspected in the Netherlands, and the containers are sealed in the Netherlands. While there is a process for random inspection by the USDA once the shipment arrives on U.S. shores, receiving of the shipment is generally expedited. Chile has a similar process through the USDA. The European Union regulations may impact aspects of the growing of tulip bulbs in the Netherlands. The Company’s imports from the Netherlands have been subject to a 10% tariff since April 2025. The tariff was increased to 15% in fiscal year 2026. This tariff is paid by the Company and is subject to increase, decrease or elimination depending on trade negotiations among governments. The Company endeavors to pass these costs increases on to customers, but it is unlikely that customers will be able to absorb all costs increases.
Employee and Human Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 160 employees, of which approximately 155 were full-time employees. None of the employees are represented by labor unions. As of June 30, 2025, there were no seasonal employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and calendar year 2024, there were 46 and 56 temporary foreign agricultural workers (H2A employees) employed for a portion of the period, respectively.
We regard our relationship with our employees as favorable. Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incenting, and integrating our employees. Our human capital function also requests quarterly feedback through surveys and focus groups to continuously improve the workplace and employee relations. As it relates to our employees:
Oversight and Management
Our executive officers are tasked with leading our organization and managing employment-related matters, including recruiting, hiring, onboarding, training, compensation planning, talent management and development. We are committed to providing team members with the training, continuing education and resources necessary to continually strengthen their skills both inside and outside the workplace.
Our executive team is responsible for periodically reviewing employee benefits, including healthcare, paid time off and other benefits, as well as our management development and succession planning practices. Management periodically reports to the Board regarding our human capital measures and results that guide how we attract, retain, and develop a workforce to enable our business strategies.
Workplace Safety and Health
A vital part of our business is providing our workforce with a safe, healthy, and sustainable working environment. We focus on implementing change through workforce observation and feedback channels to recognize risk and continuously improve our processes. Our team continues to also focus on improving our educational materials for employees to be informed of the best safety practices based on OSHA guidelines and workplace observations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to many risks. The following are significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, operating results, industry, financial position, or future financial performance.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
We face competition and cannot guarantee our continued ability to compete effectively.
Our Bloomia business competes against other providers of cut tulips and other participants in the broader cut floral industry. Competition is based on, among other things, price, quality, product perception and ability to fulfill orders, particularly during seasonal peaks. We face direct competition from other growers as well as indirect competition through retailers who are supplied by our competitors, including on-line flower delivery websites. If competitors succeed in diverting business from our current customers or capturing a greater share of the overall market for cut tulips or cut flowers generally, Bloomia’s revenues and related operations would be adversely affected, potentially materially.
Our revenue is highly concentrated among a small number of customers.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, five customers accounted for approximately 65% of our revenue. Although those customers have a history of purchasing fresh-cut tulips from Bloomia, there are no long-term purchase commitments. If one or more of Bloomia’s traditional customers significantly reduces or ceases purchasing fresh-cut tulips from Bloomia, then Bloomia could experience a significant decrease in revenue. Bloomia has historically had a high retention rate, with the majority of our significant customers having business relationships in excess of five years.
Our profit is highly dependent on the price of Dutch tulip bulbs which are subject to price changes, tariffs and the impact of exchange rates.
Tulip bulbs are our largest raw material purchase and we source approximately 80% of our bulbs from the highly sophisticated Dutch tulip bulb market. Poor weather conditions in recent years have decreased yields which has led to higher bulbs prices. Imports from the Netherlands are currently subject to a 15% tariff which increases the cost to import Dutch bulbs. If the tariff rate increases, then it would further increase the cost to import Dutch bulbs. In the last six months, the Euro has increased in value against the U.S. Dollar, which also increased the import cost of Dutch bulbs. The Company endeavors to pass these costs increases on to customers, but it is unlikely that customers will be able to absorb all costs increases. Any increase in costs that we are unable to recoup from sales, will decrease the Company’s profits and could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former executives.
In connection with the acquisition of Bloomia, we entered into non-compete agreements with its former owners. These agreements prohibit the former owners from competing with Bloomia’s business for a three-year period from the February 22, 2024 acquisition date. We may be unable to enforce these agreements under the laws of the jurisdictions in which our business operates and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefiting from the expertise that our former owners developed while working for us. If we cannot demonstrate that such interests will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former owners and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.
9
RISKS RELATING TO ECONOMY AND MARKET CONDITIONS
We are subject to changes in interest rates.
The majority of our debt carries floating interest rates and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. Borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 3.0%. Changes in interest rates are caused by a number of factors beyond our control. If the SOFR interest rate increases significantly, our interest expense and cash paid for interest will increase, and our ability to obtain additional financing may decrease, which may materially adversely affect our operations.
Our net sales and earnings have been and could continue to be adversely affected by economic conditions and outlook in the markets in which we conduct business.
Adverse economic conditions and outlook in the U.S. and in other countries in which we conduct business, such as South Africa and South America, have previously and could in the future impact our net sales and earnings. These adverse economic conditions could include, but are not limited to, business closures, slowdowns, suspensions or delays of production and commercial activity; recessionary conditions; slow or negative economic growth rates; reduced consumer spending levels; increased or prolonged high unemployment rates; higher costs, longer lead times, and reduced availability of commodities, components, parts, and accessories, including as a result of transportation-related costs, inflation, changing prices, foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, and/or duties; inflationary or deflationary pressures; reduced infrastructure spending; the impact of U.S. federal debt, state debt, and sovereign debt defaults and austerity measures by certain European countries; reduced credit availability or unfavorable credit terms for our distributors, dealers, and end-user customers; higher short-term, mortgage, and other interest rates; government shutdowns; and general economic and political conditions and expectations. Fresh cut tulips are something of a discretionary purchase and consumers may reduce purchases of tulips in slower economic times. In the past, some of these factors have caused and may continue to cause customers to reduce spending and delay or forego purchases of our products, which has had an adverse effect on our net sales and earnings.
We have committed to significant bulb purchases.
From July to September, the Company commits to purchase its Dutch tulip bulbs which are grown into stems and sold from January to June. The majority of the payment for these Dutch bulbs is due in September. As of August 25, 2025, the Company had committed to purchasing approximately $15 million of tulip bulbs to be paid for between September and December 2025. We are currently seeking potential sources of financing to support our working capital needs. The Company may not be able to finance the full commitment. Any combination of re-selling bulbs to competitors at lower prices or ultimately purchasing fewer bulbs could lead to a reduction in sales and/or lower profits and a corresponding loss of customer and supplier confidence, market share, and reduced demand in future seasons, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
STRATEGIC RISKS
Our company’s results are highly dependent on Bloomia’s success.
Although we intend to continue to develop our specialty ag business, we have committed a substantial portion of our capital to the acquisition and growth of Bloomia’s business. With this lack of diversification, for at least the near term, our cash flow and ability to service our debt is highly dependent on the performance of the Bloomia business. Risks inherent in the Bloomia business are discussed in this section.
10
Failure to successfully manage the recently acquired Bloomia business and other future acquisitions could adversely affect our business.
As part of our strategy to develop our specialty ag strategy, we may make additional acquisitions in the future. We cannot be certain that the businesses we acquire will become profitable or remain so. Our management and integration of the operations of acquired businesses requires significant efforts, including the coordination of information technologies and finance. These efforts result in additional expenses and involve significant amounts of management’s time that cannot then be dedicated to other projects. Factors that will affect the success of our acquisitions include:
| ● | the presence or absence of adequate internal controls and/or significant fraud in the financial systems of acquired companies, |
| ● | our ability or inability to integrate information technology systems of acquired companies in a secure and reliable manner, |
| ● | any decrease in customer loyalty and product orders caused by dissatisfaction with the Company’s product lines and sales and marketing practices, including price increases, |
| ● | our ability to retain key employees, and |
| ● | ability to generate adequate cash flow to service the debt incurred for the acquisitions. |
These effects, individually or in the aggregate, could cause a deterioration of our credit and result in increased borrowing costs and interest expense.
We may not generate enough cash or secure enough capital to execute our business plans.
As we develop and grow our business, we may be required to finance this process through equity offerings or additional debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt financing, the ownership interest of our stockholders would be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include additional covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Additional capital may not be available when needed, on reasonable terms, or at all, and our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed we may not be able to grow our businesses, or complete transactions related to our strategy.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
Restrictions in the Amended Credit Agreement could adversely affect the Bloomia business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of Tulp 24.1 under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make distributions or pay dividends to the Company, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or grant liens on its assets, subject to certain limitations. These restriction have and may in the future limit the Company’s ability utilize its full revolving credit facility. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, Tulp 24.1 received a waiver of a covenant breach from the lender.
11
The provisions of the Company’s credit agreement or other debt instruments may restrict its ability to obtain additional financing and pursue attractive business opportunities and its flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions. In addition, a failure to comply with the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement, any future credit facility or other debt instruments could result in a default or an event of default that could enable its lenders or other debt holders to declare the outstanding principal of that debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. If the payment obligations of Tulp 24.1 or the Company under the Amended Credit Agreement are accelerated, its assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Amended Credit Agreement restricts Tulp 24.1’s ability to make distributions to Lendway.
Under terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Bloomia business is permitted to pay a management fee of $60,000 monthly to Lendway, but generally is not permitted to make distributions to its members, including Lendway. This may constrain cash available to Lendway for corporate expenses. The restriction on distributions will also limit our ability to fund additional strategic acquisitions using capital we have contributed to the Bloomia business.
The Company’s success depends on its key personnel.
The Company’s business results depend largely upon the continued contributions of Bloomia’s CEO, Werner Jansen. If Mr. Jansen no longer serves in (or serves in some lesser capacity than) his current role, or if the Company loses other members of our management team, we may not be able to successfully execute on our business strategy and our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as the market price of its securities, could be adversely affected.
If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, then we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock.
Company management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives relating to operations, reporting, and compliance. Any internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Given the limited current number of employees, this resource constraint causes challenges in effectively providing appropriate segregation of duties. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, internal control over business processes and financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements.
We are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to have an attestation from its external auditor on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we may take in the future, will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. During calendar year 2024, the Company incurred two late filings and needed to file extensions in order to file two quarterly reports timely. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and our ability to access the capital markets could be limited.
12
Bloomia’s international operations involve additional market and operational risks, and failure to manage these risks may adversely affect our business and operating results.
We operate in several countries throughout the world including South Africa, Chile and the Netherlands. Accordingly, we face significant operational risks from doing business internationally, including:
| ● | fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; |
| ● | potentially adverse tax consequences; |
| ● | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
| ● | laws and business practices favoring local competition; |
| ● | compliance with a wide variety of complex foreign laws, treaties and regulations; |
| ● | tariffs, trade barriers and other regulatory or contractual limitations on their ability to sell or develop their products in certain foreign markets; and |
| ● | being subject to the laws, regulations and the court systems of many jurisdictions. |
Our failure to manage the market and operational risks associated with our international operations effectively could limit the future growth of our business and adversely affect our operating results.
Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Euro and other non-U.S. currencies have and may continue to negatively affect the earnings of our operations.
We report our financial results and most of our revenues are recorded in U.S. dollars. However, most of our tulip bulb costs as well as a portion of our general and administrative expenses, are incurred in euros. As a result, we are exposed to exchange rate risks that negatively impacted our business in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and may adversely affect our financial results in the future. For example, if the euro appreciates against the U.S. dollar, then the U.S. dollar cost of our operations in the Netherlands would increase and our results of operations would be adversely affected.
From time to time, we may engage in currency hedging activities. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from material adverse effects due to the fluctuations in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and the euro and other foreign currencies in which we transact business, and may result in a financial loss. Our ability to hedge is also limited by our Amended Credit Agreement and the Company was unable enter into foreign currency hedges in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and may not be able to hedge in the future.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other applicable anti-corruption legislation could result in fines, criminal penalties and an adverse effect on our business.
We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws. We are subject, however, to the risk that our affiliated entities or our affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take action determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and similar anti-bribery laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions, as well as trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the U.S. Department of Commerce. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business.
13
Compliance with employment laws may adversely affect Bloomia’s business.
With the acquisition of Bloomia, we significantly increased the size and scope of our workforce. Various federal and state labor laws govern the relationship with Bloomia’s employees in the United States and impact operating costs. These laws include:
| ● | employee classification as exempt or non-exempt for overtime and other purposes; |
| ● | minimum wage requirements; |
| ● | unemployment tax rates; |
| ● | workers’ compensation rates; |
| ● | immigration status; |
| ● | mandatory health benefits; |
| ● | paid leaves of absence, including paid sick leave; |
| ● | tax reporting; and |
| ● | other wage and benefit requirements. |
Although Bloomia verifies the employment eligibility status of its employees, some of its employees may, without Bloomia’s knowledge, be unauthorized workers. Unauthorized workers are subject to deportation and may subject Bloomia to fines or penalties, and if any of Bloomia’s workers are found to be unauthorized, Bloomia could experience adverse publicity that negatively impacts its brand and may make it more difficult to hire and keep qualified employees. Termination of a significant number of unauthorized employees may disrupt Bloomia’s operations, cause temporary increases in its labor costs as it trains new employees and result in additional adverse publicity. Bloomia could also become subject to fines, penalties and other costs related to claims that it did not fully comply with all recordkeeping obligations of federal and state immigration compliance laws. Failure to fully comply with one or more of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Through Bloomia, we are subject to risks inherent in the operation of an agricultural business.
Our business involves agricultural products with the procuring of tulip bulbs and the growing of tulips. Such business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, such as insects, plant diseases, government regulations regarding bulb production and similar agricultural risks. We can reduce, but cannot eliminate, the impacts of adverse weather conditions because the significant majority of our tulips are grown in a hydroponic greenhouse.
Tulip bulbs, like any plant, are subject to quality issues and disease, and we could have significant inventory loss or production delays resulting from low-quality tulips. In June of 2023 Bloomia wrote off $900,000 of tulip bulb inventory due to the bulbs not meeting Bloomia’s quality standards. The bulbs were sourced during the off-season which we believe contributed to the quality issues and subsequent write-off. Additionally, in calendar year 2024, a portion of our Southern Hemisphere bulbs suffered from poor temperature treatment, which resulted in less stem production. Although we coordinate with recurring customers to plan production based on anticipated demand and projections, we may have to write down inventory or recognize a material impairment if our production significantly exceeds customer demand.
Accordingly, any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our inventory and any future production of tulips and a corresponding adverse effect on our results of operations.
14
Energy and water price increases could adversely impact our profit margins.
Bloomia’s hydroponic greenhouse cultivation process uses significant energy and water. Certain factors which may impact the availability of energy and water are out of Bloomia’s control including, but not limited to, disruptions resulting from weather, economic conditions, and interruption of energy supply. Significant increases in the cost or access of energy and water, and the failure to fully pass any such increased prices and costs through to our customers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact, would have an adverse effect on our production results and operating income.
Inclement weather and other disruptions to the transportation network could adversely impact our distribution system and demand for our products.
Bloomia’s operations rely on dependable and efficient transportation services, the disruption of which could result in difficulties supplying materials to Bloomia’s facilities and impair Bloomia’s ability to deliver products to its retail customers in a timely manner. Specifically, our ability to receive shipments of tulip bulbs from Bloomia’s Netherlands or Chilean facilities on a timely basis and to provide efficient distribution of our stems to our retail customers are integral components of our overall business strategy. The volumes handled by, and operating challenges at, ocean ports have at times been volatile and can delay the receipt of tulip bulbs or cause the cost of shipping goods to be more expensive. Additionally, the availability and reliability of truck transportation has been negatively impacted by a number of factors, including limited availability of qualified drivers and equipment and limitations on drivers’ hours of service. Impairment in our ability to receive timely shipments of tulip bulbs or distribute stems to our retail customers may affect our ability to both maintain core products in inventory and deliver products to customers on a timely basis, which may in turn adversely affect our consolidated results of operations.
TECHNOLOGY AND CYBERSECURITY RISKS
We rely on our management information systems for inventory management, distribution, and other key functions. If our information systems fail to adequately perform these functions, or if we experience an interruption in their operation, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our management information systems, both internal and outsourced. We rely on our management information systems to, among other things, effectively manage our accounting and financial functions, including maintaining our internal controls, and to manage our procurement, greenhouse, distribution and sales processes. The failure of our management information systems to perform properly could disrupt our business, which may result in decreased sales, increased overhead costs, excess or obsolete inventory, causing our business and operating results to suffer. We also have automated processes in our greenhouse operations, which could be adversely impacted by interruptions in their operations. Although we take steps to secure our management information systems and automated processes, including our computer systems, intranet and internet sites, email and other telecommunications and data networks, the security measures we have implemented may not be effective and our systems may be vulnerable to theft, loss, damage and interruption from a number of potential sources and events, including unauthorized access or security breaches, natural or man-made disasters, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, power loss, or other disruptive events. Our reputation, brand, and financial condition could be adversely affected if, as a result of a significant cyber event or otherwise, our operations are disrupted or shutdown; our confidential, proprietary information is stolen or disclosed; we incur costs or are required to pay fines in connection with stolen customer, employee, or other confidential information; we must dedicate significant resources to system repairs or increase cyber security protection; or we otherwise incur significant litigation or other costs.
15
RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMPANY
Our results of operations have been and may be subject to significant fluctuations.
Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a wide variety of factors including:
| ● | our ability to successfully operate the acquired Bloomia business at the levels of revenue and cash flow planned; |
| ● | changes in interest rates; and |
| ● | the impact of other strategic activities. |
Due to these factors, our quarterly and annual net sales, expenses and results of operations could vary significantly in the future, and this could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Investment in our stock could result in fluctuating returns.
Since July 1, 2025, the sale prices of our common stock as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market ranged from a low of $3.10 to a high of $5.53. We believe factors such as the fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results described above, the market’s acceptance of our services and products, the performance of our business relative to market expectations, the results of our acquired Bloomia business, as well as limited daily trading volume of our stock and general volatility in the securities markets, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations, resulting in changes in the market prices of the stock of many companies, which may not have been directly related to the operating performance of those companies.
We may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our investors.
In order to continue to operate and grow our businesses, we will likely need to raise additional capital beyond this current financing round by offering shares of our common or preferred stock and/or other classes of equity. All of these would result in dilution to our existing investors, plus they may include additional rights or terms that may be unfavorable to our existing investor base. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the Company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges that could materially affect our results of operations.
We assess our intangible assets, and our other long-lived assets as and when required by GAAP to determine whether they are impaired. If they are impaired, we will record appropriate impairment charges. It is possible that we may be required to record significant impairment charges in the future and, if we do so, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
16
Certain significant stockholders of our company may exert a degree of control in a manner that conflicts with the interests of other stockholders.
Current significant holders of shares may have interests that are different than or adverse to our other stockholders. Based on public filings with the SEC, we believe that our largest stockholders and its affiliates hold approximately 40% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Based on this share ownership and the simple majority vote of shares present in person or by proxy that is sufficient for the approval of most actions at any stockholders meeting, those stockholders may be able to exercise a certain degree of control over certain matters requiring stockholders’ approval. Those matters include the election of directors, amendment of our articles of association and approval of significant corporate transactions, subject to rules requiring the approval of a special majority among non-interested stockholders in certain situations. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult without the support of those significant stockholders, including transactions in which a non-significant stockholder might otherwise receive a premium for its shares over the then-current market price.
We could be deemed to have been a “shell company” after completion of the August 2023 asset sale and, as such, we and our stockholders could be restricted in reliance on certain rules or forms.
We were focused on the startup and growth of our non-bank lending business since before the sale of assets relating to our former In-Store Marketing Business. Following the acquisition of the Bloomia business, we have been focused on managing Bloomia’s operations and growth. We do not believe that the Company, even after completion of the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business was a “shell company” as described under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is a company that has: no or nominal operations; and either (a) no or nominal assets; (b) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (c) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
However, a designation as a “shell company” could result in the application of Rule 144(i), which would limit the availability of the exemption from registration provided in Rule 144 for certain shares of Company common stock and could result in certain persons affiliated with the Company being deemed “statutory underwriters under Rule 145(c). Some of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Pursuant to Rule 144, if we were designated a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, one year would be required to elapse from the time, we ceased to be a “shell company” and filed a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, before our restricted stockholders could resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. The Form 10 information or disclosure is equivalent to the information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Under amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company, or a company that was at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met:
| ● | The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; |
| ● | The issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or 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 the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. |
We have never been classified as a “shell company” under rules promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. However, in the event we were to be so designated, we may have to retroactively adjust our reporting or accounting for affected periods.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Transition Report on Form 10-KT. This Transition Report on Form 10-KT contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere, in this report.
Company Overview
The Company is a specialty agricultural company focused on making and managing its agricultural investments in the United States and internationally.
On February 22, 2024, the Company acquired majority ownership in Bloomia. Bloomia produces and sells fresh cut tulips. Bloomia purchases tulip bulbs, hydroponically grows tulips from the bulbs, and sells the stems to retail stores. Bloomia is a leading producer of fresh cut tulips in the United States, nurturing over 90 million stems annually. Bloomia was founded in the Netherlands and is now strategically headquartered in the United States with additional interests in the Netherlands, South Africa and Chile. Bloomia has relationships with prominent U.S. mass market retailers and has grown its customer base year over year.
The Company acquired Bloomia for total consideration of $53,360,000. Consideration was comprised of $34,919,000 of cash paid, $15,451,000 of seller bridge loans in lieu of cash, and $2,990,000 of equity issued of Bloomia which is reflected as noncontrolling interest within these consolidated financial statements. The Acquisition was funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand.
20
The tulip sales business tends to be seasonal with spring being the strongest sales season. Accounts receivable and inventory balances are at their lowest levels in the summer following the strong spring sales season. Inventory balances peak prior to the spring season.
Former Businesses
In August 2023, the Company completed the sale of its In-Store Marketing Business for gross proceeds of $3,500,000 (See Note 5 in the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT). The operations of the In-Store Marketing Business are presented as discontinued operations. All prior periods presented have been restated to also present the In-Store Marketing Business as discontinued operations.
In April 2023, the Company began the development of a non-bank lending business, through the hiring of a Senior Vice President of Lending, who later became our Chief Executive Officer. The Company met with a number of prospects for loan originations and/or purchases and deals were negotiated, but none reached execution. With the Company’s decision to allocate capital to the Bloomia acquisition, significantly less capital was available for the lending business in the near-term. Promptly after receiving a notice of resignation from the Company’s then-serving Chief Executive Officer in June 2024, our Board of Directors reexamined the Company’s strategic position and prospects. Primarily because the departing Chief Executive Officer represented nearly all of the Company’s knowledge and expertise relating to the purchase of existing loans and/or origination and funding of new loans, the Company has determined to focus solely on the ag business. Because the non-bank lending business remained in development, this change did not have a significant impact on the Company’s operations or financial results.
Change in Fiscal Year-End
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s year-end from December 31 to June 30 of each calendar year, effective June 30, 2025. The change aligns the fiscal years of the Company with the Bloomia business and reflects the seasonality of the Bloomia business. This resulted in a six-month transition period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. The calendar years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 continue to reflect financial results for the twelve-month periods from January 1 to December 31.

Revenue, Net. Revenue, net for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $35,622,000 and $24,953,000, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the timing of the acquisition. Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflect a full six months compared to 2024 which includes the period from the acquisition date of February 22, 2024 (“the acquisition date”) through June 30, 2024 (the “acquisition period”). Revenue also increased due to stronger Mother’s Day sales. The first and second calendar quarters are normally the strongest sales quarters for Bloomia with the first calendar quarter benefiting from Valentine’s Day, Easter season, Mother’s Day and the start of the Spring season.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $9,280,000, or 26.1% as a percentage of revenue, and $5,650,000, or 22.6% as a percentage of revenue, respectively. Cost of goods sold includes rent for the production facility and depreciation related to production. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to a one-time amortization charge related to inventory written up to fair value upon acquisition of $1,522,000 that decreased gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase in bulb costs.
Operating Expenses
Sales, general and administrative. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $5,363,000 and $7,129,000, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition costs of $1,542,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 offset by a shorter acquisition period in 2024.
22
Interest Expense and Income. Interest expense, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was $1,905,000 and $1,189,000, respectively. The increase is due to the timing of the acquisition. In connection with the Bloomia acquisition, the Company began incurring interest expenses starting February 21, 2024. The Company has not hedged the risk of its interest expense. If the Term SOFR reference rate increases, the Company’s interest expense on its term loan and revolving credit facility will increase.
Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $313,000, with a corresponding effective tax rate of (19.3)%, on income from continuing operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $548,000, with a corresponding effective tax rate of 20.8%, on loss from continuing operations. The benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily relates to a change in state tax rates.
See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, income from discontinued operations is a result of the reduction in the accrual for sales tax due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. Information on the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business and statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) details of the discontinued operations are included in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT.
Noncontrolling interest. The 18.6% noncontrolling interest in Tulp 24.1’s income (loss) was income of $473,000 and a loss of $270,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Revenue, Net. Revenue, net for calendar year 2024 was $37,773,000, all of which were generated from Bloomia for the period from its acquisition on February 22, 2024 (“the acquisition date”) through December 31, 2024 (the “acquisition period”). Revenue in calendar year 2023 is included in discontinued operations.
23
Gross Profit. Gross profit for calendar year 2024 was $6,509,000, or 17.2% as a percentage of revenue. Cost of goods sold includes rent for the facilities production facility and depreciation related to production. The one-time amortization charge related to inventory written up to fair value upon acquisition was $1,522,000 for calendar year 2024.
Gross margin percentage has historically been higher in the first and second quarters since sales are typically higher and allow better leverage of fixed costs in costs of goods sold.
Gross profit for calendar year 2023, was zero as revenue and costs are included in discontinued operations.
Operating Expenses
Sales, general and administrative. Sales, general and administrative expenses for calendar year 2024 were $13,226,000 compared to $3,519,000 for calendar year 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Bloomia. Calendar year 2024 includes $1,542,000 of acquisition costs and $1,335,000 of integration related costs.
Interest Expense and Income. Interest expense, net, for calendar year 2024, was $2,969,000 compared to interest income of $518,000 for calendar year 2023. In connection with the Bloomia acquisition, the Company began incurring interest expenses starting February 21, 2024. The Company did not have debt in the prior year. The Company has not hedged the risk of its interest expense. If the Term SOFR reference rate increases, the Company’s interest expense on its term loan and revolving credit facility will increase.
Income Taxes. For calendar year 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,329,000, with a corresponding effective tax rate of 25.2%, on loss from continuing operations. For calendar year 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $20,000, with a corresponding effective tax rate of (0.7)%, on loss from continuing operations.
During the first quarter of calendar year 2024, the Company established deferred tax liabilities related to the acquisition in the majority ownership of Bloomia. The Company anticipates that the deferred tax liabilities will result in future taxable income that will allow for the realization of the federal deferred tax assets.
See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. For calendar year 2024, income from discontinued operations is a result of the reduction in the accrual for sales tax due to the expiration of the statute of limitations. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for calendar year 2023 reflects results from operations from the legacy In-store Marketing Business and the $2,961,000 gain from the sale of that business. Information on the sale of the In-Store Marketing Business and statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) details of the discontinued operations are included in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT.
Noncontrolling interest. The 18.6% noncontrolling interest in Tulp 24.1’s loss for the acquisition period was $934,000 for calendar year 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report includes EBITDA which is a “non-GAAP financial measure.” EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.
This non-GAAP financial measure, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), has been provided as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure is not a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, respective GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measure presented may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure will be useful to permit investors to evaluate the business consistent with how management evaluates the business. Our EBITDA excludes amounts from net loss from discontinued operations that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. Management has used EBITDA (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to competitors and peers; (b) to measure operational profitability on a consistent basis; (c) in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors; and (d) to evaluate compliance with covenants and restricted activities under the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement.
Included below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its operations with proceeds from the sale of its In-Store Marketing Business and sales of its products, in addition to a significant payment resulting from the settlement of litigation. To aid in funding the Bloomia acquisition, Tulp 24.1 entered a Credit Agreement that provided an $18,000,000 term loan and a revolver with borrowings of up to $6,000,000. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) was $1,098,000 compared to $11,026,000 and $15,525,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased $853,000 from $1,759,000 at December 31, 2024 to $906,000 at June 30, 2025.
Operating Activities of Continuing Operations. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $8,002,000, $8,281,000 of which is related to the decrease of inventory after the busy season. Cash from operations is greatest in the first half of the year due to the seasonality of the Bloomia business. The Company used approximately $887,000 in cash in the period to purchase tulip bulbs.
Investing Activities of Continuing Operations. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $279,000, which primarily related to the purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $9,083,000, which primarily related to repayments of the revolving debt, term loan, and related party note.
The Company commits to purchase the majority of its tulip bulbs from July to September each year with the majority of the payment due in September. As of August 25, 2025, the Company had committed to purchasing approximately $15 million of tulip bulbs to be paid for between September and December 2025. We are currently seeking potential sources of financing to support our working capital needs.
25
On February 22, 2024, the Company acquired majority ownership in Bloomia for a total purchase price of $53,360,000. Consideration comprised of $34,919,000 of cash paid, $15,451,000 of seller bridge loans in lieu of cash, and $2,990,000 of equity issued of Tulp 24.1 which is reflected as noncontrolling interest within these consolidated financial statements. The acquisition was funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand.
To finance the Bloomia acquisition, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, together with Tulp 24.1 as the borrower. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Tulp 24.1 had an $18,000,000 term loan funded. The Credit Agreement also contained a $6,000,000 revolving credit facility, which may be used by Tulp 24.1 for general business purposes and working capital. On October 16, 2024, the Company amended the credit agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, temporarily increase the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $8,000,000 until March 31, 2025, include inventory in the Netherlands in the borrowing base calculation and temporarily adjust the covenant ratios. The Company reduced the outstanding balance to $6,000,000 as of March 31, 2025 to align with the credit agreement. There was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2025.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 3.0%. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Amended Credit Agreement, Tulp 24.1 is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% on the unutilized commitments under the revolving credit facility.
The term loans are scheduled to be repaid in quarterly installments of $450,000, which began in June 2024. The remaining outstanding balance will be repaid in full after five years. The scheduled maturity of the revolving facility is February 20, 2029.
The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of Tulp 24.1 under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries to maintain (a) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 and (b) a maximum senior cash flow leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.0 until March 31, 2025, and stepping down to 2.00 to 1.00 on December 31, 2027, until the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement. Due to the shift in the Easter holiday from March 2024 to April 2025, the holiday sales were excluded from the ratio calculations as of March 31, 2025, and the Company was in breach. The lender waived the breach as of March 31, 2025, with no financial impact. The Company was in compliance with both covenants as of June 30, 2025. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of Tulp 24.1 and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make distributions or pay dividends to the Company, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or grant liens on its assets, subject to certain limitations.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. The Company is currently in discussions with its lender to make amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement, similar to those made previously, to increase the borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility, include inventory in the Netherlands in the borrowing base calculation and temporarily adjust the covenant ratios to ensure the Company will maintain compliance for at least the next twelve months.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, including failure to make payments under the credit facility, failure to comply with covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and other loan documents, cross default to other material indebtedness of Tulp 24.1 or any of its subsidiaries, failure of Tulp 24.1 or any of its subsidiaries to pay or discharge material judgments, bankruptcy of Tulp 24.1 or any of its subsidiaries, and change of control of the Company.
26
As part of the financing of the Bloomia acquisition, Tulp 24.1 entered into notes payable with the sellers. Notes payable for $12,750,000 have a term of five years, subject to requiring principal payments based on “excess cash flow” as defined. Interest is at 8% per annum in the first year and increases annually by 2 percentage points. Notes payable for $2,700,000 were paid in full as of June 30, 2024.
On August 15, 2024, we entered into an unsecured Delayed Draw Term Note (the “Note”) with Air T Inc. (“Air T”) pursuant to which Air T has agreed to advance from time to time until August 15, 2026, but not on a revolving basis, up to $2,500,000 to fund the Company’s operations. Amounts outstanding under the Note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0%, which may be increased by 3.0% upon certain events of default. The entire principal amount outstanding on the Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as set forth below, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) August 15, 2029, (ii) the Company’s receipt of a written demand by Air T delivered on or after February 15, 2026, and (iii) such earlier date as all principal owing thereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”). The Company may prepay any loan outstanding thereunder, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan, at any time without prepayment or penalty.
On September 27, 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Note (the “Amended Note”) with Air T pursuant to which Air T has agreed to advance up to an additional $1,000,000 from time to time until August 15, 2026, but not on a revolving basis. The Amended Note provides for total borrowing of up to $3,500,000 to fund the Company’s operations. The Company borrowed $250,000 and repaid $400,000 under the note during the six months ended June 30, 2025. On January 15, 2025, the note was amended again to increase the total borrowing to $3,750,000. As previously disclosed, amounts outstanding under the Amended Note bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0%, which may be increased by 3.0% upon certain events of default. The Amended Note remains scheduled to mature and all principal and accrued but unpaid interest will become due on August 15, 2029, subject to Air T’s right to demand payment on or after February 15, 2026. No closing or origination fees will be paid to the Air T.
In July 2025, the Company made principal only payments of $1,200,000 to Air T on the above note bringing the outstanding principal balance to $2,150,000
Air T beneficially owns greater than 10% of our outstanding Common Stock and is a member of a group of stockholders that collectively owns approximately 40% of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, our current director and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mark R. Jundt serves as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Air T, current director and Co-Chief Executive Officer, Daniel C. Philp serves as Senior Vice President of Corporate development at Air T, and current director Nicholas J. Swenson serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Air T and is himself a member of the stockholder group. The entry into the Note was approved in advance by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors in accordance with our Related Person Transaction Approval Policy and by a vote of solely independent directors who have no relationship with Air T.
The Company expects that cash from operations combined with funds available under the Amended Credit Facility and the Note will provide sufficient credit availability to support its ongoing operations, fund its new debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next 12 months.
As the Company grows its businesses, we may be required to obtain additional capital through equity offerings or additional debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include additional covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Additional capital may not be available when needed, on reasonable terms, or at all, and our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may not be able to grow our businesses or complete transactions related to the strategy.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. During the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP which involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to business combinations, inventory, goodwill, long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, interest expense, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT. We believe our most critical accounting estimates include the following:
Inventory. We coordinate with recurring customers to plan production based on anticipated demand and projections; however, we may have to write down inventory or recognize a material impairment if our production significantly exceeds customer demand. No write-downs occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Business Combinations. The Company completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Fresh Tulips USA LLC and Bloomia B.V. and its subsidiaries in February 2024. We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, royalty rates and asset lives, among other items.
We used the income approach to value certain intangible assets. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using a discounted present value income approach. We used the income approach known as the relief from royalty method to value the fair value of the trade name. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if we were to license the trade name and was based on expected revenues. The determination of the fair value of other assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves assessing factors such as the expected future cash flows associated with individual assets and liabilities and appropriate discount rates at the date of the acquisition.
Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and were subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. During the measurement period, assets or liabilities were adjusted if new information was obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments were included in current period earnings.
If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Transition Report on Form 10-KT could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.
Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the net of the fair value of identifiable tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed.
28
We test goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter and when a trigger event ocurs. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level and all goodwill is assigned to a reporting unit. We have one reporting unit which is the same as our reporting segment.
We test goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including reporting unit specific operating results and cost factors, as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We may elect to bypass this qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Fair values under the quantitative test are estimated using a combination of discounted projected future earnings or cash flow methods and multiples of earnings in estimating fair value. The estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value is determined by weighing a discounted cash flow model and a market-related model using current industry information that involve significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). In determining the estimated future cash flow, we consider and apply certain estimates and judgments, including current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans, business trends, prospects, market and economic conditions, and market-participant considerations. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
If we fail the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment (“quantitative assessment”), we would be required to recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount that a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value.
We have an indefinite-lived intangible asset for trade name of $8,570,000 from the Bloomia acquisition. Annually in the fourth quarter, or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, we assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a trade name is “more likely than not” less than its carrying value. If it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, we then perform the quantitative impairment test. If we perform the quantitative test, the carrying value of the asset is compared to an estimate of its fair value to identify impairment. The fair value is determined by the relief from royalty method, which requires significant judgment. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts utilized in the analysis. If we conclude an impairment exists, the asset’s carrying value will be written down to its fair value.
Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets, primarily customer relationships and trade name, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. In the event the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying amount is not considered recoverable, an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value and is recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs. The reasonableness of the useful lives of this asset and other long-lived assets is regularly evaluated.
Interest expense. For debt with variable rate interest, interest expense is recorded based on a weighted average effective interest rate method. The significant assumptions used in the weighted average estimate are the future debt balance and the length of time the debt will be outstanding.
Income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria.
29
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed, and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies. Conversely, the Company records additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.

Factors that could cause our estimates and assumptions as to future performance, and our actual results, to differ materially include the following: (1) our ability to integrate and continue to successfully operate the newly acquired Bloomia business, (2) our ability to compete, (3) concentration of Bloomia’s historical revenue among a small number of customers, (4) changes in interest rates, (5) ability to comply with the requirements of the Amended Credit Agreement and operate within its restrictions, (6) economic and market conditions that may restrict or delay appropriate or desirable opportunities, (7) our ability to develop and maintain necessary processes and controls relating to our businesses (8) reliance on one or a small number of employees, (9) potential adverse classifications of our Company if we are unsuccessful in executing our business plans, (10) other economic, international, business, market, financial, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the Company’s businesses generally; (11) our ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, operational and sales personnel; and (12) the availability of additional capital on desirable terms, if at all. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth in this report and additional risks, if any, identified in this Transition Report on Form 10-KT, subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company assumes no responsibility to update the forward- looking statements contained in this report or the reasons why actual results would differ from those anticipated in any such forward-looking statement, other than as required by law.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Lendway, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the consolidated financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lendway, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
F-2
Evaluation of goodwill triggering events
As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $11,128,000 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, might exceed the fair value of the reporting unit. In the current year, the Company performed a qualitative, or Step 0, assessment to determine whether there was a greater than 50 percent likelihood that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. After completing Step 0, the Company determined that goodwill was not more likely than not impaired and, therefore, no Step 1, or quantitative assessment, was necessary.
We identified the evaluation of goodwill triggering events as a critical audit matter. The evaluation of potential triggering events, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, market capitalization and events specific to the entity and its reporting unit, required a higher degree of auditor judgment. These potential triggering events could have a significant effect on the Company’s Step 0 assessment and the determination of whether further quantitative analysis of goodwill impairment was required.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and implementation of certain internal controls related to the evaluation of goodwill impairment. This included a control related to the Company’s assessment of potential goodwill triggering events. We evaluated the Company’s Step 0 assessment for its reporting unit by:
| ● | considering macroeconomic conditions including overall market and economic conditions, access to capital, foreign currency, and inflation in the United States and Netherlands for negative indicators. |
| ● | evaluating information from industry publications in the tulip market, which were compared to industry and market considerations used by the Company. |
| ● | analyzing information including changes in the costs of raw materials and labor and the Company’s customer base, the financial performance of the reporting unit, the Company’s market capitalization, and other entity and reporting-unit specific events. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.
Description of Business. Lendway, Inc. (“the Company”) is a specialty agricultural (“ag”) company focused on making and managing its ag investments in the United States (“U.S.”) and internationally. On February 22, 2024, the Company, through its majority-owned U.S. subsidiary Tulp 24.1, LLC (“Tulp 24.1”), acquired Bloomia B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Bloomia”). Subsequent to the purchase of Bloomia, the Company’s primary operations will be that of Bloomia. Bloomia is a significant producer of fresh cut tulips in the U.S. with a presence in the Netherlands and South Africa. As part of the consideration for the business combination, the Company issued units of Tulp 24.1 to the continuing CEO of Bloomia, which amounted to
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include all wholly and majority owned subsidiaries of the Company. The operations of Bloomia are included since the date of acquisition. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, does not consolidate, but exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in equity method investments within the consolidated balance sheets. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
On August 3, 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and certain liabilities relating to the Company’s legacy business of providing in-store advertising solutions (the “In-Store Marketing Business”). The operations of the In-Store Marketing Business are presented as discontinued operations. All prior periods presented have been restated to present the In-Store Marketing Business as discontinued operations.
The Company historically reported on a calendar year basis ending on December 31. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year-end from December 31 to June 30 of each year, effective June 30, 2025. This results in a six-month transition period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. In these consolidated financial statements, the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are referred to as “Calendar Year 2024” and “Calendar Year 2023”, respectively, and reflect financial results for the respective twelve-month periods from January 1 to December 31.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The amendments in this update require disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the statement of operations; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 1, 2024. The Company determined it had
F-8
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The implementation of this standard establishes a requirement to disclose differences between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate by jurisdiction and disaggregated information about income taxes paid, income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The amendments related to the ASU were applied prospectively.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The key estimates made by management include the determination of fair values in conjunction with the acquisition of our majority interest in Bloomia, and the carrying value of inventories, operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, goodwill, useful lives for property and equipment and intangible assets, interest rates, and valuation of income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing. Other than those items disclosed within the consolidated financial statements, no material subsequent events were identified.
Foreign Currency Transactions. The revenues and expenses of the Company are mostly generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, the Company’s management has established that the U.S. dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of the U.S. entities is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s subsidiary in the Netherlands, Bloomia BV, is responsible for purchasing tulip bulbs, which is the largest raw material the Company uses. Tulip bulbs are purchased in Euro and the Bloomia BV pays administrative costs in in Euro, so the functional currency of Bloomia BV is the Euro.
Transactions and balances that are denominated in currencies that differ from the reporting currency have been remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with principles set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the periods presented. All exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement mentioned above are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in its deposit accounts.
Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable are presented in the balance sheets at their outstanding balances net of the allowance for credit losses. These receivables are generally trade receivables due in one year or less or expected to be billed and collected within one year. The Company estimates credit losses on accounts receivable in accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The Company measures the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The estimate for allowance for credit losses is based on an expected loss rate for each pool. Management considers qualitative factors such as change in economic factors, regulatory matters, and industry trends to determine if an allowance should be further adjusted. The provision for credit losses is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Bushes refer to peony plants, which accumulate planting and development costs that are capitalized into their basis until they become commercially productive, at which point the asset begins depreciating, and future maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Planting costs consist primarily of the costs to purchase and plant nursery stock. Development costs consist of cultivation, pruning, irrigation, labor, spraying and fertilization, and interest costs during the development period. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term (including renewals that are reasonably certain to occur) or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
| Estimated Useful Life | |
Machinery and equipment |
| |
Leasehold improvements |

Long-Lived Assets Impairment Testing. Long-lived assets, which include property, plant, and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, and right-of-use assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances such as asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. The impairment test involves comparing the carrying amount of each individual asset-group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset group. These assumptions require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. In the event the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the gross undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying amount is not considered recoverable, an impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of an individual asset group’s carrying amount over its fair value and is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs. The reasonableness of the useful lives of the asset and other long-lived assets is regularly evaluated. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and calendar years 2024 and 2023,

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Assets. Goodwill results from business combinations and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Annually, or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and if it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. To align with our change in fiscal year, the Company’s annual testing date will now be April 30. The Company has
Further, the Company recognized a trade name associated with the Bloomia acquisition that was determined to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Annually, or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, we test indefinite-lived trade names for impairment. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the fair value of a trade name is “more likely than not” less than its carrying value. If it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, we then perform the quantitative impairment test. If we perform the quantitative test, the carrying value of the asset is compared to an estimate of its fair value to identify impairment. The fair value is determined by the relief from royalty method, which requires significant judgment. Actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts utilized in the analysis. If we conclude an impairment exists, the asset’s carrying value will be written down to its fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and calendar year 2024,
Other assets. The Company transferred ex-force bulbs to a supplier in the six months ended June 30, 2025 in exchange for bulbs and planting stock to be received in fiscal year 2027. The ex-force bulbs are bulbs that were used to grow stems in the six months ended June 30, 2025. By transferring the ex-force bulbs to the supplier, the Company was able to reduce cost of goods sold in the six months ended June 30, 2025 by $
Leases. The Company is party to leasing contracts in which the Company is the lessee. The Company applies ASC 842 to determine whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. The Company's lease contracts include land, buildings, and equipment. These lease contracts are classified as either operating or finance leases. Right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, at the later of the commencement date or business combination date. The Company's leases generally do not include an implicit rate of return. The Company determines the present value of future minimum lease payments based on the collateralized borrowing rate of the Company, on a portfolio basis. The related operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized to amortization expense, and interest expense is recorded in connection with the finance lease liability in the consolidated statements of operations.
F-11
Equity-Method Investments. Investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investments in equity-method investees in the consolidated balance sheets as equity-method investments and its share of investees’ earnings or losses together with other-than-temporary impairments in value, basis differences between the carrying amount and our ownership interest in the underlying net assets of the investee, and any gain or loss from the sale of an equity method investment as gain or loss on sale of equity investment in net income of unconsolidated investments in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period.
Investments in equity-method investments and joint ventures of immaterial entities are estimated based upon the overall performance of the entity where financial results are not available on a timely basis.
Fair Value. FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (ASC 820) establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| ● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| ● | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other financial working capital items approximate their fair values at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to their short-term nature and management’s belief that their carrying amounts approximate the amount for which the assets could be sold, or the liabilities could be settled. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value due to the debt’s variable market interest rate.
Revenue Recognition. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (ASC 606), using the following steps:
| ● | Identify the contract or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of its tulips. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. Revenue from product sales is governed primarily by customer pricing and related purchase orders (“contracts”) which specify shipping terms and the transaction price. Contracts are at standalone pricing. The performance obligation in these contracts is determined by each of the individual purchase orders and the respective stated quantities, with revenue being recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of the agreement are satisfied. This generally occurs with the transfer of control of tulips to the customer when the product is delivered.
The Company expenses the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, as the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents revenue disaggregated by customer, as determined by the operational nature of their industry:

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of costs to procure, sort, pick, cool, and transport bulbs. Additionally, cost of sales includes labor and facility costs related to production operations.
Shipping and Handling. The Company’s shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers. The costs of outbound freight are included in the cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and calendar years 2024 and 2023, the costs of out-bound freight were approximately $
Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. These costs are included within sales, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Total advertising expense was approximately $
Interest expense. For debt with variable rate interest, interest expense is recorded based on a weighted average effective interest rate method. The significant assumptions used in the weighted average estimate are the future debt balance and the length of time the debt will be outstanding. Paid in kind (PIK) interest is not paid in cash and is included in the long-term debt, net in the consolidated balance sheets. $
Income Taxes. The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. In determining the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets, the Company considers any available tax planning strategies that could be implemented. Under ASC 740, a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient future taxable income of the correct character. Failure to achieve previously forecasted taxable income could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could negatively impact the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.
F-13
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Interest income or expense/penalties attributable to the overpayment or underpayment, respectively, of income taxes is recognized as an element of our provision for income taxes.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed, and we will recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer applies. Conversely, the Company records additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.
The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from management’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value at grant date. Restricted stock units and awards are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options. The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as by assumptions regarding several complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, and calendar years 2024 and 2023, the Company issued
Net Income (Loss) per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any dilutive effects of stock options and restricted stock units and awards. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all diluted potential common shares outstanding during the year.
In determining diluted net income (loss) per share, the Company considers whether the result of the incremental shares would be antidilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were

3. Change in Fiscal Year-End.
The Company historically reported on a calendar year basis ending on December 31. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s year-end from December 31 to June 30 of each year, effective June 30, 2025. The Company is filing this Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the six-month transition period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025. In this Transition Report on Form 10-KT, the calendar years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are referred to as “Calendar Year 2024” and “Calendar Year 2023”, and reflect financial results for the respective twelve-month periods from January 1 to December 31.
4. Bloomia Acquisition.
On February 22, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Fresh Tulips USA LLC and Bloomia B.V. and its subsidiaries (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed by the Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tulp 24.1 and Tulipa Acquisitie Holding B.V. (“Tulipa”), pursuant to an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Shares by and among Tulp 24.1, Tulipa, Botman Bloembollen B.V., W.F. Jansen (“Jansen”), and H.J. Strengers, and Lendway, as the Guarantor. Jansen will continue to serve as chief executive officer of Bloomia following the Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, Tulp 24.1 became the holder of
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets of Bloomia acquired, based on their fair values at the date of the acquisition.
The acquisition was funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand. The total consideration transferred for the Bloomia acquisition was $

The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the growth potential of the Company and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using a discounted present value income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. The fair value of the trade names was estimated using an income approach, specifically known as the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method is based on the hypothetical royalty stream that would be received if the Company were to license the trade name and was based on expected revenues. The useful life of the customer relationships was determined considering the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted as appropriate for the entity-specific factors including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of the customer relationships. The issued equity of the subsidiary, now reflected as noncontrolling interest was valued considering the total value of the acquired company and comparing that to the rollover value of the shares being converted.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.
