Risks

• Operates in a highly competitive industry with many competitors having greater financial, technical, and marketing resources.
• Limited capital resources may restrict marketing efforts and ability to attract customers.
• Operating results are expected to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
• Future success depends on the ability to execute key elements of the business plan.
• Anticipated growth may strain limited resources, as systems and controls may not be adequate.
• Investors may face challenges enforcing judgments under U.S. securities laws due to headquarters and assets being in Japan and the officer/director residing outside the U.S.
• Loss of leadership from Chief Executive Officer Ryohei Uetaki could materially delay or disrupt operations.
• Inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, especially those with bilingual or specialized skills, is critical to success.
• Failure to effectively expand sales and marketing capabilities could hinder revenue growth.
• Technical issues, including data loss, system outages, or software errors, could impair the platform and lead to customer attrition.
• Reliance on third-party vendors and hosting providers, with interruptions potentially affecting the business.
• Failure to comply with data protection and privacy regulations could result in penalties, litigation, and loss of customer trust.
• Rapid technological changes could render SEIKAI's platform obsolete or require substantial additional investment.
• Cybersecurity breaches or data theft could materially harm the business and reputation.
• Potential for intellectual property disputes, which could be costly and disruptive.

Future Outlook

The company intends to initiate full-scale operation of Google Ads by December 2025, with Meta Ads integration planned for beta release during the first quarter of 2026. Subsequent development phases will focus on expansion into related digital domains such as customer relationship management (CRM), e-commerce (EC), and media optimization. The company also plans to pursue international expansion, initially targeting the European and North American markets. Marketing and customer acquisition will be driven through demonstration and promotion via implementing SEIKAI into its own marketing operations, and collaborations with existing advertising agencies seeking to reduce labor costs through AI automation.

Management Comments

• "The AI Agent SEIKAI software and web application are new operations for the Company, and there can be no assurance that the platform will achieve market acceptance, generate revenue, or operate as intended."
• "In managements view, SEIKAI represents a scalable, autonomous advertising platform capable of delivering measurable performance improvements while reducing personnel costs for advertisers across multiple regions and industries."
• "The Companys sole officer and director plans to engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured."
• "Our officer and director, Ryohei Uetaki, believes that it is not necessary to have such committees [nominating, compensation, or audit] at this time, as he can adequately perform the functions of these committees."
• "We believe that our officer and director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting."

Industry Context

The market for AI-powered web-based advertising support services in Japan is undergoing significant expansion, driven by the adoption of artificial intelligence across multiple operational layers, including creative generation, automatic delivery optimization, marketing automation, and workflow automation using AI agents. Notable developments include the use of generative AI for large-scale creative production and predictive analysis, and AI-based optimization in ad delivery. Challenges for the sector include the transition to a privacy-focused, cookieless environment, maintaining content accuracy and brand consistency with generative AI, lack of transparency in AI optimization logic, dependency on specific vendors, and compliance with evolving regulations.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• SEIKAI differentiates itself from traditional advertising platforms and agencies through its cross-media self-optimizing structure, real-time calibration and optimization between advertising algorithms across multiple networks, and minimal personnel dependency.
• While competing solutions, such as SHIROFUNE in Japan, rely on user input or limited-platform automation, SEIKAI employs what the Company believes to be a higher-level AI, capable of coordinating distinct ad network algorithms in real time.
• CyberAgent Inc. is a leading example in Japan, offering services that automate both content generation and performance review through its AI Creative and Review AI platforms.
• Domestic DSP providers such as Logicad (Sony Group) have integrated machine learning algorithms into their systems to refine bidding strategies and dynamically tailor ad delivery.
• Dentsu Group has launched AIMX and AI for Growth, which support corporate clients in implementing AI-driven marketing strategies.

Related Party Transactions

• For the years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the company borrowed $54,047 and $35,564, respectively, from Takehiro Abe (former sole officer and director). Total owed as of March 31, 2025, and 2024, was $157,399 and $102,209, respectively. These borrowings were unsecured, non-interest bearing, and payable on demand.
• For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the company borrowed $102,663 from ZEXAVERSE Co., Ltd., a company wholly owned by Ryohei Uetaki (current CEO and controlling shareholder). Total owed as of September 30, 2025, was $102,663. These borrowings were unsecured, non-interest bearing, and payable on demand.
• For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the company borrowed $86,545 from Ryohei Uetaki. Total owed as of September 30, 2025, was $86,545. These borrowings were unsecured, non-interest bearing, and payable on demand.
• On October 1, 2025, the company issued 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to its sole officer and director, Ryohei Uetaki, at a par value of $0.0001 per share in exchange for services rendered.
• The principal executive offices are located in space rented by Ryohei Uetaki and provided to the company at no cost. The company also utilizes home office space and equipment provided by management at no cost.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Potential for significant dilution if future capital raises involve equity sales. High risk of total loss due to unproven business model, limited operating history, and going concern doubts. Concentrated ownership with Ryohei Uetaki (92.50%) limits influence of other shareholders.
• Employees (Independent Contractors): Current operations rely on two independent contractors and the uncompensated sole officer/director. Future growth requires attracting and retaining skilled personnel, which could be challenging.
• Customers (Small/Medium Businesses): Potential to benefit from an AI-powered advertising platform designed to maximize ROAS and optimize CPA with minimal human dependency. However, the platform is new and unproven, with no guarantee of market acceptance or revenue generation.
• Creditors: Existing related-party loans are unsecured and non-interest bearing, indicating a higher risk profile for any future external creditors given the company's financial state and going concern warning.

Next Steps

• Initiate full-scale operation of Google Ads by December 2025.
• Beta release Meta Ads integration during the first quarter of 2026.
• Expand into related digital domains such as customer relationship management (CRM), e-commerce (EC), and media optimization.
• Pursue international expansion, initially targeting European and North American markets.
• Drive marketing and customer acquisition through demonstration and promotion via implementing SEIKAI into our own marketing operations.
• Collaborate with existing advertising agencies seeking to reduce labor costs through AI automation.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The company has transitioned from a shell to an operating entity with a new AI-powered advertising platform, which is a positive step. However, it has no revenue from current operations, recurring losses, negative cash flow, and a "substantial doubt" about its ability to continue as a going concern. The business model is unproven, and the company is heavily reliant on future, unsecured funding, potentially from related parties. Corporate governance is highly concentrated, lacking independent oversight. These factors, combined with significant competition and operational risks, make the stock highly speculative with a substantial risk of total loss. A seasoned investor would likely avoid or sell given the severe financial distress and unproven nature of the new venture.
