Welcome to the first edition of SecureTech Briefing, a proposed monthly publication designed to connect our businesses, priorities and progress in one place.
During the past several months, SecureTech has reported meaningful developments across operations, corporate structure, financial reporting and capital-markets preparation. Viewed separately, each announcement answers a specific question. Viewed together, they begin to show the company SecureTech is becoming.
This is the purpose of SecureTech Briefing. Each issue will identify what changed, explain why it matters, connect it to the broader enterprise and direct readers to the public information supporting the discussion.
The quarter at a glance
All figures unaudited. All Q2 revenue was attributable to AI UltraProd.
Enterprise development
What permanent integration tells us about the company SecureTech is becoming
SecureTech acquired Aiultraprod Group Limited in June 2025 through a framework that preserved two possible outcomes. AI UltraProd could eventually become a separately listed public company, or it could remain within SecureTech as a permanent operating subsidiary.
After more than a year of working together, SecureTech chose the second path. On August 17, 2026, the Company announced that AI UltraProd would remain a wholly owned subsidiary under SecureTech’s full voting and management control. The decision placed the business within one leadership structure, one capital-allocation framework and one public-company reporting platform.
Three days later, SecureTech reported its results for the second quarter of 2026. Revenue reached approximately $2.77 million, a 33.3% increase from the first quarter. Gross profit increased from approximately $185,000 to approximately $888,000, while gross margin improved from 8.9% to 32.0%. All Q2 revenue was attributable to AI UltraProd.
The underlying revenue mix is particularly instructive. Q2 included approximately $1.44 million in product sales and $1.33 million in service revenue. Service revenue represented approximately 48% of the quarter, compared with approximately 6% in Q1. Management identified the larger share of higher-margin service work as the principal reason gross margin improved.
One quarter does not establish a permanent margin profile. AI UltraProd’s business is project-based, and its mix of products and services can change from period to period. Still, the results make the operating business easier to see and evaluate.
Permanent integration keeps AI UltraProd’s operating opportunity within SecureTech, but it also keeps the financing requirements, execution risk and responsibility for disciplined growth within the enterprise.
SecureTech’s filings describe the parent company as providing centralized oversight of finance, governance, SEC compliance and merger-and-acquisition activity while its businesses pursue distinct commercial strategies. AI UltraProd now offers the clearest example of how that model can develop after an acquisition: SecureTech can acquire, operate, learn and then determine the structure best suited to the business and the enterprise.
AI UltraProd may be the first major example of that process reaching a mature decision point. It is not intended to be the last.

Business in Focus · AI UltraProd
Why the revenue mix matters
The second quarter was not simply a story of more revenue. It was also a story about the kind of revenue AI UltraProd generated.
$1.44M
$1.33M
AI UltraProd combines AI-enabled industrial 3D manufacturing equipment with design, materials, training, implementation and other services. The Q2 mix illustrates why that model matters. Hardware can create the initial operating relationship, while services can deepen the work required to help customers deploy the technology effectively.
The shift toward service revenue contributed to a stronger quarterly gross margin, but it should be evaluated over time. Future issues can help readers follow whether product and service activity produce a repeatable pattern, how working-capital demands develop and how planned expansion into the United States and other markets progresses.
What we are watching
- The balance between product and service revenue
- Gross-margin movement across project cycles
- Working-capital requirements and financing
- Evidence of disciplined expansion into new markets
Market in Focus · U.S. housing + ADUs
Why ADUs offer a practical U.S. beachhead
Housing undersupply and construction-workforce constraints create demand for more efficient delivery. But regulation, site preparation, infrastructure, financing and local execution will determine how much of the opportunity becomes completed housing.
The market evidence
The market context
The United States does not face one housing problem. It faces overlapping challenges involving supply, affordability, land availability, labor, financing, infrastructure and local regulation. Freddie Mac estimates that the nation’s housing stock remains approximately 3.7 million units below need, based on data through Q3 2024. It also cautions that there is no single solution and includes ADUs among several viable ways to add supply.
ADUs can create incremental housing on existing residential property and, in appropriate jurisdictions, do so without the land requirements of a conventional large development. But regulatory permission does not produce a completed home by itself. Permitting, site conditions, utility connections, financing, neighborhood considerations and total construction costs still govern delivery. California’s updated March 2026 ADU Handbook illustrates both continued policy support and an evolving regulatory environment.
Workforce capacity adds another constraint. Associated Builders and Contractors estimates that the construction industry must attract approximately 349,000 net new workers in 2026 to meet expected demand. That is an industry-association estimate, but it helps explain the interest in construction methods designed to use skilled labor more efficiently.
SecureTech’s strategy
SecureTech publicly identified ADUs in December 2025 as the initial U.S. beachhead for AI UltraProd’s construction platform and described plans for a future lighthouse project. This remains a forward-looking strategy until it is supported by actual deployment and disclosed results.
For AI UltraProd, the strategic case is not that ADUs define the limits of the company’s ambitions. Smaller, potentially repeatable structures could provide a disciplined environment in which the company can:
- Validate its system against U.S. codes, materials standards and construction practices
- Measure the complete project cycle rather than only the wall-printing stage
- Develop local contractor, developer, housing and regulatory relationships
- Produce reference projects and operating evidence before broader expansion
What this means for SecureTech
The ADU initiative is best understood as a disciplined first test of U.S. market entry, not as a claim that one technology or one building category can solve the national housing shortage. Its strategic value will be measured by the operating evidence, relationships and repeatable processes it can produce.

Different businesses. Deliberate development paths.
Independent audit capability for a more complex enterprise
In August, SecureTech engaged U.S.-based, PCAOB-registered Marcum Asia CPAs LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement is intended to support quarterly reviews and the audit of the Company’s fiscal 2026 financial statements.
SecureTech has also nominated three financially qualified independent director candidates in connection with its planned Nasdaq Capital Market listing. An audit firm is not an Audit Committee, a director nomination is not a seated board, and neither is an exchange approval. Each is a separate part of the infrastructure the Company is working to establish.
Building optionality in digital infrastructure
Piranha Blockchain remains an early-stage part of SecureTech focused on Web3 security architecture, blockchain infrastructure, digital-asset systems and cybersecurity. SecureTech’s public filings describe a development strategy that combines internal innovation with targeted acquisitions intended to expand capability and accelerate market entry.
Piranha should appear when there is a material development, a useful explanation or credible industry context that helps readers understand what SecureTech is working to build.
A distinct development path
Top Kontrol holds patented anti-theft and anti-carjacking technology designed to disable a vehicle during a carjacking attempt without requiring action from the driver. SecureTech’s filings describe an ongoing restructuring under Terra Nova Technologies in preparation for a planned spin-off onto the OTCQB Venture Market.
That plan remains subject to execution, market conditions, regulatory requirements and further public disclosure. Its different path illustrates that SecureTech’s businesses need not reach the same structural outcome to fit within one enterprise strategy.
Capital Markets Perspective
Trust needs infrastructure
Trust in a public company cannot rest on ambition, a press release or a ticker symbol. It has to be supported by systems that allow operations to appear accurately in the financial record, permit assumptions and classifications to be challenged, and give qualified independent reviewers the information required to do their work.
SecureTech’s recent auditor engagement, balance-sheet classification corrections, director nominations and Nasdaq application should therefore be viewed as related but distinct developments. They do not complete the work or guarantee a national-exchange listing. They make the work more visible.
“The answers will emerge through filings, governance actions, audit work and operating results. Not slogans.”
That is the standard stakeholders can use to evaluate the Company’s progress.
