MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
Annual Report Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth due to general
economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes
and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.
The
Company is building a diversified global financial services company driven by proprietary Condor trading technologies, complementary
regulatory licenses, and a proven executive team. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service
companies. The Company believes its proprietary technology and software development capabilities allow legacy financial services companies
immediate exposure to –forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, digital assets, social/copy trading, and other high-growth fintech markets.
From
December 2021 onwards, the Company expects to grow from its acquisition strategy, specializing in buying and integrating small to mid-size
legacy financial services companies. The Company intends to build a diversified global software-driven financial services company. The
Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies. The Company replaces conventional legacy
software infrastructure with its regulatory-grade proprietary Condor trading technologies, intending to improve end-user experience,
increase client retention, and realize cost synergies.
Currently,
we have three primary business segments: (1) Technology and Software Development, (2) Wealth Management, and (3) Investment and Margin
Brokerage Business.
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic that continues throughout
the United States. While the outbreak was initially concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and
Cyprus, and infections were reported globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental
measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement
of people, and other material limitations on our business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s
labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments.
These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak
and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could
adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital,
which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.
The
geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the
two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional
sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office
in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned
or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate
our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone,
it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As
of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

capital as disclosed in Subsequent Events. The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio
of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the
Company increases its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond
fiscal 2023.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The revenues generated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and
2022 were $12,754,900 and $6,453,732, respectively. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the consolidation of AML’s trading

of $1,573,176 and $1,069,267. The increase in net profit was mainly due to margin brokerage business’ net profit from July 1, 2023,
to December 31, 2023.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company
incurred General and administrative costs (“G and A”) of $2,943,913 and $1,623,031, respectively. The increase in G and A
costs for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, was mainly due to the inclusion of G and A of AML and APL, effective June 30, 2023,
and November 30, 2023, respectively. The G and A expenses were 23.08% and 25.15% of the fiscal revenue for the fiscal year ending December
31, 2023, and 2022. Amortization expenses were $22,503 and $159,051 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively,
and the Company has included them in the Cost of sales expense. The decrease in amortization expense for the fiscal year ending December
2023 is due to the complete amortization of Condor Back Office, Condor Digital Assets Platform, and Condor FX Trading Platform (Desktop).
The depreciation expenses for furniture and computers for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, were $213,910 and $3,894.
The Company incurred $1,512,790 and $382,864 in sales, marketing, and advertising
costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The sales and marketing
costs increased in fiscal 2023 due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses related to margin brokerage business. During fiscal
2022, the sales and marketing costs mainly included stock-based payment to marketing and branding consultants, travel costs for tradeshows,
customer meetings, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising
expenses represented 11.86% and 5.93% of the sales for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The
rental expenses were $47,768 and $25,438 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022. Effective October 29, 2019, the Company
rents its servers, computers, and data center from an unrelated third party. Under the rent Agreement, the lessor provides furniture,

this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The Company is entitled to use the office and conference space if needed.
The new rent payment or membership fee for the Irvine Office is $95 per month compared to the previous rent payment or membership fee
for the New York Office of $890 per month as the General and administrative expenses.

Limassol,
Cyprus Lease (Europe Office)
From
February 2019 to July 2023, the Company leased office space in Limassol District, Cyprus, from an unrelated party for a year. The office’s

intended for our subsidiary, Alchemytech Ltd, to be established in Cyprus in March 2024. The monthly rent payment for this office was
approximately $1,000, and the down payment for the lease was approximately $6,300. These expenses were included in the general and administrative
expenses.
Chelyabinsk,
Russia (Terminated)
From
February 2020, this agreement continues every year upon written request by the Company. The Company uses the office for sales and marketing
in Europe and Asia. From April 2019 to August 2022, the Company leased office space in Chelyabinsk, Russia, from an unrelated party for
an eleven (11) month term. The office’s rent payment is $500 per month, and the Company has included it in the General and administrative
expenses. From March 2020, this agreement continues on a month-to-month basis until the Company, or the lessor chooses to terminate by
the agreement’s terms by giving thirty (30) days’ notice. The Company uses the office for software development and technical
support. Effective August 2022, the Company closed its offices in Russia and relocated its team to Turkey. In April 2023, we relocated
our personnel to Kazakhstan.
Right-of-Use
Assets and Lease Liabilities
The
Company has entered into operating lease agreements for its facilities and equipment. The right-of-use asset (ROU) is measured at the
present value of the lease payments over the lease term, adjusted for lease incentives, initial direct costs, and any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date. As of December 31, 2023, the ROU: $39,683. Lease liabilities are measured at the present value
of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (10.00%) at the lease commencement date.
The Operating Lease Liability was estimated to be $36,419 current and $3,264 noncurrent. The lease expense for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023, consists of an operating lease expense of $42,390. The Company has included all rental expenses in the General and
Administrative costs.
The
Company determines the lease term as the non-cancelable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the
lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain
not to be exercised.
The
discount rate of 10.00% used to measure the lease liabilities was determined based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate,
as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
The
Company incurred $1,512,790 and $382,864 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The sales and marketing costs increased in fiscal 2023 due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses related to margin brokerage business. During fiscal
2022, the sales and marketing costs mainly included stock-based payment to marketing and branding consultants, travel costs for
tradeshows, customer meetings, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales,
marketing, and advertising expenses represented 11.86% and 5.93% of the sales for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and
2022, respectively.
For
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had seventeen (17) and ten (10) active technology and software development
customers. Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 11.58% and 7.83% of total revenue for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
20
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
December 31, 2023, and 2022, we had a cash balance of $31,316,461 and $264,829, respectively. At December 31, 2023, and 2022, the working
capital surplus and deficit were $11,260,603 and $345,269, respectively. The increase in the working capital surplus was mainly due to
the acquisition of AML and APL, resulting in the increase of current assets over current liabilities as of December 31, 2023.
We
generate a substantial portion of our operating income outside the United States, and this income is deemed to be indefinitely reinvested
in foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, as outlined under “Cash and Cash Equivalent,” the majority of our cash and short-term
investments are held by our foreign subsidiaries. At present, we do not intend to repatriate these funds and do not foresee a need to
do so.
We
anticipate that our existing domestic cash, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our domestic
operating activities and fulfill our cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends, debt
repayments, and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.
Should
we require additional capital in the United States beyond what our domestic operations generate—for instance, to fund significant
discretionary activities such as business acquisitions or share repurchases—we could choose to repatriate future earnings from
foreign jurisdictions or raise capital within the United States through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives may result in higher
effective tax rates, increased interest expenses, or dilution of our earnings. We have previously borrowed funds domestically and believe
that we can continue to do so at reasonable interest rates.
In
the next twelve (12) months, the Company will continue investing in sales, marketing, product development, new technology solutions,
and existing technology support to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditure to increase to $500,000 in the next twelve (12)
months to support the growth, including working capital, software development, sales & marketing, and purchasing computers and servers.
We
expect the combination of existing cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to private equity and capital markets
to be sufficient for at least twelve (12) months. The availability of funds will fund our operating activities to meet the need for investing
and financing, such as debt maturities and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve a sustainable
sales level to fund our ongoing operations out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or,
if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Should
we require additional capital, the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements. The Company may attempt
to restructure Notes, refinance existing Notes with financial institutions, or raise capital by selling additional capital stock or debt
issuance. The Company intends to continue growing its operations and raising funds through private equity and debt financing.
Initial
Seed Funding in 2016
Between
February 22, 2016, and April 24, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from FRH Group, a founder and principal shareholder. Effective
June 1, 2017, we raised $98,000 through our common stock’s private placement to our officers, directors, friends, relatives, and
business associates. Between February 22, 2016, and April 24, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from FRH Group, a founder and principal
shareholder (“FRH”). The Company executed Convertible Promissory Notes, due between February 28, 2018, and April 24, 2019.
The Notes were initially convertible into common stock at $0.10 per share but may be discounted under certain circumstances. In no event
will the conversion price be less than $0.05 per share with a maximum of 20,000,000 shares.
Going
Public in 2019

GOING
CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We
have generated revenues of $12,754,900 for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $2,643,647 and $4,216,823. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on
the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022 regarding concerns about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure
by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification
of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the Company being unable to continue as
a going concern.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We
have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operations results on our financial statements,
which we have prepared following the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In preparing our financial statements, we
are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.
We
have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K/A for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2023. We continuously evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments
required by our policies and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
JOBS
Act Accounting Election
We
are an “ emerging growth company ,” defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay
adopting new or revised accounting standards after enacting the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. We have applied
for exemption as an emerging growth company; thus, the Company may delay adopting certain accounting standards until the standards would
otherwise apply to private companies.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We
have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We had no relationships
with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been
established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
ASU amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of
the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We
have adopted ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition from January 1, 2019, and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840) from January 1, 2020. The
ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We believe the accounting policies
described in Note 2 are critical to the judgments and estimates used to prepare our financial statements. As a result, we have described
significant accounting policies in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2023.
