value.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had cash balances of $24,777,611 and $24,781,389, respectively. At September 30, 2025,
and December 31, 2024, the working capital surplus was $9,426,209 and $9,097,591, respectively. The increase in working capital surplus
was primarily due to the acquisition of AML and APL, resulting in an increase in current assets over current liabilities as of September
30, 2025.
We
generate a substantial portion of our operating income outside the United States, which is 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.
The
company maintains multiple sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, potential capital raises, and strategic financing
arrangements. FDCTech is actively managing its working capital to support ongoing business expansion, including the development of its
Condor Trading Technology , regulatory compliance initiatives, and integration of newly acquired entities.
Key
liquidity factors include:
●
Operating Cash Flow:
The company continues to invest in technology infrastructure and operational efficiency to drive sustainable revenue growth.
●
Capital Expenditures:
Investment in proprietary trading platforms and software development remains a priority.
●
Financing Activities:
FDCTech has historically relied on equity offerings, debt instruments, and related-party financing to support its expansion. Future
capital-raising efforts may be necessary to fund acquisitions and market expansion.
Management
believes that existing cash reserves , combined with expected revenue growth and potential financing opportunities, will provide
sufficient liquidity to meet both operational and strategic needs. However, external market conditions, regulatory changes, and acquisition-related
expenditures could impact future liquidity requirements.
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.
Over
the next 12 months, the Company will continue investing in sales, marketing, product development, and technology solutions to enhance
customer service and expand its market presence. Capital expenditures are anticipated to rise to $1.000,000. This allocation will encompass
working capital, software development, sales and marketing initiatives, as well as infrastructure enhancements, including the procurement
of computers and servers.
The
company expects that its existing cash reserves, cash equivalents, operational cash flows, and access to private equity and capital markets
will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. These resources will support continued business operations, including
debt obligations and significant capital expenditures. However, achieving sustainable revenue growth may require additional funding,
and there is no guarantee that financing will be available on favorable terms.
If
additional capital is required, the company may consider restructuring or refinancing existing debt, securing financing from financial
institutions, or raising funds through private equity or debt issuance. FDCTech remains committed to expanding its operations while exploring
strategic funding opportunities to support long-term growth.

paragraph in their reports on the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, and 2023, regarding concerns
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements include additional note disclosures that describe the circumstances
leading 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 results of operations on our financial statements,
which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we must
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods.
In
more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 15, 2024. We continually evaluate our critical accounting estimates
and judgments, as required by our policies, and update them as necessary based on changing conditions.
JOBS
Act Accounting Election
We
are an “ emerging growth company ,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay
adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies.
As an emerging growth company, we have applied for an exemption; as a result, the Company may delay the adoption of certain accounting
standards until the standards apply to private companies.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We
have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as 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
Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
for applicability and impact on its consolidated financial statements.
We
have adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842 (formerly ASU 2016-02, Leases) as of March 31, 2020. The amendments
in these ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption was permitted and consistent with SEC guidance; we implemented these standards as required. The adoption of these standards
did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has reviewed recently issued ASUs that are not yet effective and expects no significant impact on its financial statements or
disclosures upon adoption. As a smaller reporting company, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying
with new or revised accounting standards, as permitted by the JOBS Act and SEC rules applicable to emerging growth companies.
For
a more detailed description of our significant and critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 in the consolidated financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 30, 2025.
