Rubber Leaf Inc. Reports No Sales Revenue and Significant Losses Amid Legal Challenges

Rubber Leaf Inc. reported significant financial challenges in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The company recorded no sales revenue during this period, a stark decline from $2.95 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This 100% drop in revenue was primarily attributed to a construction-related lawsuit that resulted in the freezing of the company's bank accounts, forcing a temporary suspension of all business operations. Consequently, the company incurred a gross loss of $161,806, a slight improvement from a gross loss of $196,625 in the prior year.

Operating expenses also saw a notable reduction, totaling $118,368 compared to $400,359 in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the cessation of sales activities. The loss from operations decreased to $280,174, down from $596,984 year-over-year. The net loss for the quarter was $345,336, an improvement of 52% compared to the net loss of $725,110 in the same period last year. This reduction in losses was largely due to lower operating expenses resulting from the suspension of business activities.

In terms of operational metrics, the company reported an accumulated deficit of $5.77 million as of March 31, 2025, with cash reserves slightly increasing to $13,493 from $12,273 at the end of 2024. The company also faced negative working capital of $14.5 million, an increase from $14.26 million in the previous quarter. The filing indicated that Rubber Leaf Inc. is currently dependent on additional investment capital to fund its operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Strategically, the company has been involved in legal disputes that have impacted its operational capabilities. The ongoing litigation with Ningbo Rongsen Construction Co., Ltd. has not only frozen accounts but also led to a significant legal judgment against the company, which it is currently appealing. Management remains optimistic about resolving these issues and anticipates resuming normal operations by June 2025, contingent upon the outcome of the legal proceedings.

Looking ahead, Rubber Leaf Inc. plans to raise additional capital to support its operations and is exploring options to utilize a line of credit secured from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. However, the company has not yet accessed this facility due to the ongoing account freeze. The management's outlook remains cautious, emphasizing the need for favorable legal resolutions and capital acquisition to ensure business continuity.
