Capstone Companies Inc (OTC: CAPC) is a consumer products company that, as of its 10-K filed April 1, 2026, had no active product sales and was pursuing a business combination or new business line. The company historically generated revenue by selling LED lighting products and smart home devices to 'Big Box' retailers via direct import from contract manufacturers in Thailand and China. Revenue in FY2024 consisted solely of liquidating Smart Mirror inventory and selling remaining LED lighting products from existing stock; the company recorded no sales in FY2025. The Connected Chef, a kitchen appliance tablet built on Google's GMS operating system, was the company's most recent product development effort, but the associated licensing arrangement failed in November 2025 and development was suspended in Q1 2026. As of the filing date, Capstone had insufficient cash to fund operations for the next 12 months and was relying on working capital loans from Coppermine Ventures ($530,000 received as of the filing date) and a $250,000 unsecured promissory note from eBliss Global issued March 2026. No dividends have been declared or paid in at least seven years.
