WORLD TREE USA, LLC
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
WORLD TREE USA LLC (“WTUSA” or the “Company”) was organized as a limited liability company in the state of Nevada on June 3, 2015. The Company’s address is 2447 Pacific Coast Hwy, 2nd Floor, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
The purpose of the Company is to:
| (i) | participate in collective effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the Investors through conduct of the Eco-Tree Program; | |
| (ii) | produce income from the harvesting of Empress Splendor (ES) Trees acquired by the Company; | |
| (iii) | monetize carbon offset assets created by the Company; | |
| (iv) | make distributions to members upon harvesting ES Trees; and | |
| (v) | engage in such other activities as are reasonably incidental to the foregoing. |
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions prevented the Company from traveling to the farms and nurseries during 2020 and a portion of 2021. This, in turn, prevented the Company from being able to provide adequate training and oversight of the planting and maintenance of the trees under contract. When travel restrictions were lifted in 2021, the Company was able to travel to all of its farms in order to assess the overall health and quality of its trees. As a result of these visits, the Company determined it was necessary to write-off a large number of trees as of December 31, 2021 totaling $466,204. While the Company believes that it has currently mitigated the impact of COVID-19 on its operations, any future lockdowns or travel restrictions may negatively impact future operations and tree survivability.
The Company is in the pre revenue generation stage. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States, and worldwide, along with governmental policy decisions. As this is a product grown in nature, a host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. To mitigate these risks the company has chosen to plant its ES Trees in different locations in five different countries.
The Company currently is dependent upon its manager, World Tree Technologies, Inc. (“WTT”), for all aspects of the Company’s operations. WTT contracts directly with the farmers for the growth of the Company’s trees and manages the process through to harvest and sale of the lumber. WTT has been in existence in excess of 20 years, primarily focused on growing, cultivating and selling ES startlings, and has limited history, a period of approximately eight years, growing to maturity, cultivating and harvesting the ES Trees. WTT currently has limited arrangements for the harvesting and sale of such trees. Management of WTT has limited experience in negotiating such arrangements, however, they are in the process of expanding the network, including establishing a network of retailers to purchase the ES Trees. To date WTT has generated a limited amount of capital from the sale of ES Trees and/or any other biological asset. Additionally, WTT is dependent upon the Company and the management fees, among others, to fund its operations. During 2022 and 2021, a significant amount of capital was paid to WTT for current and future services. These amounts were expensed during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as the monies were expended by WTT. See Note 4 for additional information.

| Table of Contents |
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The business of the Company involves a high degree of risk due to the long-term nature of generating revenue from the harvesting of trees which the first harvest isn’t anticipated until 2026. The Company has significant commercial and economic interdependence with WTT as discussed in Notes 1, 4 and 6. At present, WTT has limited cash flow generating activities and their operations are currently dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management’s Plans
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Company raised $764,677 in gross proceeds in exchange for the issuance of 566,585 Series A Eco-Tree 2025 Units through a private offering, Regulation D. The Company has launched an additional Reg CF offering in May 2025. Management believes that the current capital on hand and its planned offerings may not be sufficient to fund operations through a period of less than one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the funds necessary to finance the Company’s activities as disclosed in Note 1.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash equivalents with initial maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
|
|
|
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
| 12 |
| Table of Contents |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term mature of these financial instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-marketing dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Biological Assets
Biological assets consist of trees managed for future timber sales. Biological assets are carried at cost. The cost of trees consists of the purchase price plus costs incurred to bring the trees to the current location and condition.
The trees are recognized as biological assets when they are received by the Company’s farmers. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31st 2024, 420,273 and 419,119 trees representing a cost of $1,312,734 and $1,309,129, respectively, were reported as biological assets.
The Company operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions prevented the Company from traveling to the farms and nurseries during 2020 and a portion of 2021. This, in turn, prevented the Company from being able to provide adequate training and oversight of the planting and maintenance of the trees under contract. When travel restrictions were lifted in 2021, the Company was able to travel to all of its farms in order to assess the overall health and quality of its trees. As a result of these visits, the Company determined it was necessary to write-off a large number of trees as of December 31, 2021 resulting in a loss on biological assets of $466,204. While the Company believes that it has currently mitigated the impact of COVID-19 on its operations, any future lockdowns or travel restrictions may could negatively impact future operations and tree survivability.
For every 2,000 Units issued related to the 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 offerings, the Company will purchase up to 140 trees, which yield a harvest of approximately 110 trees per acre; 30 additional trees per acre are available for replacement within the first two to three years. For the 2024 and 2025 series, 140 trees are being planted for every 2000 units issued, and up to 45 replacement trees.
As of June 30, 2025, current and future tree plantings are summarized below:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Provisions and Contingent Liability Provisions
Provisions and contingent liability provisions are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and where a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Timing or exact amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Deferred Offering Costs
Costs associated with the offering of Units are capitalized as other assets. Upon successful issuance, these costs will reduce additional-paid-in capital, or if unsuccessful, recognized as general and administrative expense.
Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a Partnership. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the Series A Unit holders are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income. The Company will pay state income taxes at reduced rates. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods since inception. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.
Net Loss per Unit
Net earnings or loss per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of membership units outstanding during the period, excluding Units subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per unit. Diluted net earnings or loss per unit reflect the actual weighted average Units issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per unit if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no potentially dilutive securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), specifying the accounting for leases, which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of consolidated financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessors’ accounting is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, Topic 842 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes several practical expedients. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021 for emerging growth companies, with early adoption permitted. The Company has reviewed the provisions of the new standard, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
