Winvest Group Ltd (WNLV) 2025 Annual Report: Key Highlights and Investor Insights
1. Overview and Corporate Structure
Winvest Group Ltd (“Winvest” or “the Company”) is a Nevada-based corporation that operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries: The Catalyst Group Entertainment (“TCG”) and IQI Media, Inc. (“IQI”). The Company focuses on the media and entertainment industry, leveraging technology-driven approaches, including predictive AI and content management solutions, to capture value within the rapidly evolving OTT/streaming market. Winvest is listed on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol “WNLV.”
2. Financial Performance and Going Concern
- Revenue: For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Winvest reported revenues of \$78,426, a modest increase of \$1,086 (or 1.4%) from \$77,340 in 2024.
- Net Loss: The Company incurred a substantial net loss of \$15,044,666 or \$(0.14) per share in 2025, compared to a loss of \$1,081,047 or \$(0.004) per share in 2024. This significant deterioration was due primarily to increased interest expense from convertible notes and a write-off of the Infinity Fund Australia (IFA) investment.
- Accumulated Deficit: As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s accumulated deficit stood at \$120,846,266.
- Working Capital Deficit: The Company reported a working capital deficit of \$1,487,897 as of year-end 2025.
- Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities was \$551,290 in 2025, up from \$351,109 in 2024. No cash was provided by investing activities in 2025, compared to \$262,018 in 2024.
Price-Sensitive & Shareholder Alert: The Company’s auditors issued a “going concern” opinion, raising substantial doubt about Winvest’s ability to continue operating without securing additional financing. There are currently no formal commitments or arrangements for future funding. If new financing cannot be secured, Winvest may be forced to reduce or discontinue operations, with a risk of total capital loss for shareholders.
3. Stock Information and Market Risks
- Winvest’s common stock is listed on the OTCQB and traded at a closing bid price of \$0.0029 as of May 1, 2026, with approximately 206 shareholders of record.
- The stock is classified as a “penny stock,” subject to additional regulatory and trading restrictions, which may result in limited liquidity, higher volatility, and difficulty for investors to buy or sell shares.
- There are 87,308,053 shares of restricted common stock held by affiliates that may be available for resale under Rule 144, potentially increasing selling pressure and impacting the share price.
- The Company does not pay cash dividends and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Returns for shareholders depend solely on capital appreciation, which is not assured.
- The Company acknowledges the limited market for its stock and warns that there is no assurance an active or liquid market will develop.
4. Internal Controls and Material Weaknesses
- Winvest disclosed material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025. Notably, there was a lack of adequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment, increasing the risk of fraud or errors.
- Management has initiated remediation steps, such as adding staff and engaging external accountants to improve oversight and control, but these weaknesses have not yet been fully resolved.
- There have been no changes in internal controls during 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.
Price-Sensitive & Shareholder Alert: Failure to resolve internal control deficiencies could lead to litigation, costly remediation, and further pressure on the Company’s stock price.
5. Strategic Initiatives and Business Model
- Winvest’s subsidiary, IQI Media, is developing “Launchrr,” a data-driven, API-enabled platform targeting the entertainment industry. The platform leverages predictive AI for IP valuation, revenue forecasting, and market risk hedging, with integration plans for major ad networks and prediction markets.
- Launchrr has completed Beta 1.3 and is progressing toward Version 2.0, which aims to include expanded API integrations, predictive trading layers, and enterprise features.
- The Company is positioning Launchrr for broader market entry and has identified a private equity/IPO pathway as a future strategic option.
- Winvest’s technology-first approach is designed to address key industry challenges such as revenue leakage, delayed reporting, fragmented submissions, and lack of transparency, particularly as streaming, labor disruptions, and market volatility impact the traditional film value chain.
6. Additional Risks and Macroeconomic Factors
- Geopolitical conflicts, global economic instability, rising operating costs (e.g., fuel, production), and inflationary pressures could adversely impact Winvest’s business operations, financial condition, and results.
- The Company’s prospects are highly sensitive to changes in consumer tastes, economic downturns, and unpredictable shifts in entertainment demand, which may negatively affect revenues and share value.
7. Regulatory and Legal Considerations
- Winvest relies on certain exemptions from securities registration under federal and state law. If any exemption were deemed invalid, investors could have a right of rescission, exposing the Company to significant financial risk.
- The Company has adopted a code of ethics per Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, applicable to all directors, officers, and employees. Amendments and waivers will be disclosed as required.
8. Shareholder Takeaways
- High Risk, High Uncertainty: Investors face significant risks, including the possibility of total loss due to ongoing losses, lack of committed financing, regulatory risks, and material weaknesses in internal controls.
- No Dividend Income: Shareholders should not expect dividend payments and must rely on potential capital appreciation.
- Potential Catalysts: If Winvest can secure funding, remedy control weaknesses, and successfully commercialize Launchrr, there may be upside potential. However, these outcomes are speculative at this stage.
- Price-Sensitive Events: The going concern warning, internal control deficiencies, large net loss, and lack of formal financing commitments are all material risks that may impact the share price negatively.
