EXPLANATORY
NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”)
to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of FDCTech, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the “Original
Filing”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 13, 2025, and as previously amended by
Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on August 11, 2025 (“Amendment No. 1”), is being filed to restate the Company’s
previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form
8-K filed by the Company on June 8, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with management and the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (as included in the Original Filing and Amendment No. 1) should no longer
be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 2 to restate the affected financial
statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”
This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates Items 1, 2, and 4 of Part I of the Original Filing, as previously amended. The restatement adjustments
are described in detail in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Amendment. The principal restatement items relate to: (i) reclassification of a subscription receivable from
current assets to a contra-equity account; (ii) recognition of 500,000 shares of common stock issued in October 2021 that were not previously
recorded in the Company’s share register; (iii) separate presentation of restricted cash representing client funds segregated under
regulatory requirements; (iv) correction of the noncontrolling interest walk in accordance with ASC 810-10;
(v) correction of the allocation of accumulated other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220-10; (vi) corrections to the results
of operations, principally within other income (expense), which increased net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by $209,574;
(vii) the reclassification of Alchemytech Ltd. cost of sales from the Technology & software segment to the brokerage segment; and
(viii) the remeasurement of the right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities under ASC 842.
In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 2 includes
currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Sections 302
and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits hereto. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment No. 2, this Amendment
does not, and does not purport to, amend, update, or restate any other information or disclosures contained in the Original Filing or
Amendment No. 1, or reflect any events occurring after the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read
in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”)
contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements
other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws,
including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue, or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies,
and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products or developments; any statements regarding
future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ
materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations,
as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements may
include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “desire,” “goal,” “should,”
“objective,” “seek,” “plan,” “strive” or “anticipate,” as well as
variations of such words or similar expressions, or the negatives of these words. These forward-looking statements present our
estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information
as required by the federal securities laws, we do not intend to and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes will likely vary materially from those
indicated.

the customer or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which the Company will provide products or services
as persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each agreement is tailored to the customer and clearly defines the fee schedule, duties, responsibilities, renewal and termination
terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for a contract of this nature.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of FDCTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions.
The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its financial
statements. The Company has measured and presented its consolidated financial statements in US Dollars, the currency of the primary economic
environment in which it operates (also known as its functional currency).
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
The Company prepared consolidated financial statements
according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. This could impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the related disclosures, at the date of the consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful
accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives, and other long-lived
assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates
and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”).
Defined Terms
In these consolidated financial statements and the related notes, the terms “Restricted cash — client
funds (segregated),” “client funds,” and “client money” are used interchangeably to refer to amounts held by
the Company’s regulated brokerage subsidiaries on behalf of clients in segregated accounts pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements,
presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a separately captioned restricted cash line item with an equal and offsetting client funds
payable liability.
Restatement
of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Following the engagement of LAO Professionals
(“LAO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on April 3, 2025, and in connection with
LAO’s reaudit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, management and
the Board of Directors identified errors in the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements. On
June 3, 2026, the Board of Directors, after consultation with management and LAO, concluded that the Company’s previously
issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (as included in the
Original Filing and Amendment No. 1) should no longer be relied upon. The Company is restating its affected financial statements in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections.” Concurrently with this Amendment, the Company has filed Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025,
restating its annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, and the comparative periods. The restatement reflects the following adjustments: (a) Subscription Receivable Reclassification to
Contra-Equity (ASC 505-10-45-2)—a subscription receivable totaling $ 8,200,000
originally recognized on November 30, 2023 has been reclassified from current assets to a contra-equity account; (b) Unrecorded
Stock Issuance to Global Career Networks Inc. (ASC 250-10-45-23)— 500,000
shares of common stock issued October 5, 2021 at $ 0.1095
per share were not recorded by the Company’s transfer agent and have been recognized retrospectively to the original
transaction date; (c) Restricted Cash for Client Funds Segregated (ASC 230-10-50-8)—cash held by the Company’s regulated
subsidiaries on behalf of clients has been reclassified from “Cash” to a separate line item, “Restricted cash
— client funds (segregated),” with the corresponding liability re-titled “Client funds payable”; (d)
Noncontrolling Interest Walk Correction (ASC 810-10)—noncontrolling interest balances have been corrected to reflect the 49 %
noncontrolling share of AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd net income and other comprehensive income, together with the effect of the
change in ownership and cumulative translation adjustment reclassification arising from the AML buyout (accounted for as an equity
transaction under ASC 810-10-45-23), ending at $ 14,199 ;
(e) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Allocation Correction (ASC 220-10)—FDC’s accumulated other comprehensive
income has been corrected, by a difference of $( 19,511 ),
to conform to the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income; (f) Reclassification of Balances Held Within AML Cash Accounts (ASC 940)—$ 3,500,000
of client funds of Alchemy Prime Limited (“APL”) held within Alchemy Markets Ltd. (“AML”) designated
liquidity provider account, and $ 3,574,201
(€ 3,453,334 )
of external third-party assets held by AML on behalf of a non-Group counterparty, aggregating $ 7,074,201 ,
have been reclassified from “Cash” to “Restricted cash — client funds (segregated)” with corresponding
recognition in “Client funds payable,” consistent with Adjustments B and C described in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) for the year ended December 31, 2024; and (g) Segment Reclassification of ATECH Cost of
Sales—cost of sales of Alchemytech Ltd. (“ATECH”), a Cyprus-based subsidiary providing information technology,
sales, and marketing services to the Company’s affiliated brokerage operations, has been reclassified from the Technology
& software segment to the investment and brokerage segment to reflect the segment to which those services support. Total cost
of sales, gross profit, and net income (loss) are unaffected by this reclassification.
Restatement Adjustments by Category
The principal restatement adjustments are
described above. The restatement increases noncontrolling interest, decreases additional paid-in capital, and increases the absolute
value of accumulated deficit. Total stockholders’ equity is reduced as a result of the subscription receivable being
reclassified from current assets to a contra-equity account. The restatement adjustments affect total revenue, total cost of sales
(including the reclassification of AlchemyTech Ltd. (“ATECH”) cost of sales from Technology & software to investment
and brokerage), gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), other income (expense), income (loss) before provision
for income taxes, and net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as detailed in the schedule of error corrections
below. Weighted average shares outstanding have been restated to include the 500,000
unrecorded shares.
Reconciliation of Cash and Restricted Cash. As described
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) for the year ended December 31, 2024, the previously reported balance
of “Cash” included $ 7,074,201 of balances held within Alchemy Markets Ltd. (“AML”) cash accounts that did not
constitute the Company’s own funds. Specifically, (i) $ 3,500,000 represented client funds of Alchemy Prime Limited (“APL”)
held within AML’s designated liquidity provider account (Adjustment B), and (ii) $ 3,574,201 (€ 3,453,334 ) represented external
third-party assets held by AML on behalf of a non-Group counterparty (Adjustment C). In accordance with ASC 940, “Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers”, client monies held
on behalf of third parties must be presented as restricted or segregated funds with a corresponding client funds payable. The restatement
reclassifies these balances from “Cash” to “Restricted cash — client funds (segregated)” with corresponding
recognition in “Client funds payable.”

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Impact
of the Restatement
Background
On August 5, 2025, the Company’s management, in connection with the preparation of its subsequent periodic report,
identified errors in its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31,
2025 (originally filed on Form 10-Q/A), and identified related presentation and measurement errors in its previously issued financial
statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024. After evaluating the errors under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99
(materiality) and No. 108, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, management and the Board of Directors concluded that
the previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon and should be restated.
Description
of the Errors — Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
(a) Subscription receivable reclassified to contra-equity (ASC 505-10-45-2). A subscription receivable of $ 8,200,000
previously presented as a current asset was reclassified to contra-equity (a reduction of stockholders’ equity), consistent with its substance
as an unfunded equity subscription. Of this amount, $ 8,000,000 is reflected as contra-equity in the restated balances on this schedule;
the remaining $ 200,000 represents common stock issued for which no cash was received, and that difference is addressed in the Company’s
restatement of its financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
(b) Unrecorded stock issuance to Global Career Networks Inc. (ASC 250-10-45-23). The correction reflects 500,000
shares of common stock issued on October 5, 2021, that the Company’s transfer agent did not record, recognized retrospectively to the
original transaction date, and increasing the par value (common stock) by $ 50 . Weighted average shares outstanding have been restated
to include these shares.
(c) Restricted cash for client funds segregated (ASC 230-10-50-8). Cash held on behalf of clients in segregated accounts
was previously included within Cash and cash equivalents. The Company reclassified $ 17,453,282 to Restricted cash (client funds, segregated),
with a corresponding client funds payable liability, to present these balances on a gross basis.
(d) Noncontrolling interest walk correction (ASC 810-10). Noncontrolling interest balances were corrected to reflect
the 49 % noncontrolling share of AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd. (“ADS”) net income and other comprehensive income, together with
the effect of the change in ownership and cumulative translation adjustment reclassification arising from the AML buyout. For the three
months ended March 31, 2025, the noncontrolling interest’s share of ADS net income was $ 21,310 , and the foreign currency translation attributable
to noncontrolling interest was $( 23,931 ), comprising $ 34,808 of other comprehensive income offset by the $( 58,739 ) effect of the change
in ownership and cumulative translation adjustment reclassification. Noncontrolling interest at March 31, 2025, was $ 14,199 .
(e)
Accumulated other comprehensive income allocation correction (ASC 220-10). FDC’s accumulated other comprehensive
income (“AOCI”) was corrected by a total difference of $( 19,511 ) (from $ 140,137 As Previously Reported to $ 120,626 As Restated),
conforming AOCI to the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The AOCI balance walks from $( 72,781 ) at December 31, 2024 through the period’s $ 193,407 foreign currency translation movement to $ 120,626
As Restated. The correction is confined to other comprehensive income and does not affect accumulated deficit or additional paid-in capital.
(f)
Reclassification of balances held within AML cash accounts and related party advances (ASC 940; carryover from December
31, 2024, Adjustment D). In connection with the restatement of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, the classification of certain cash credits, net of $ 7,713,827 , for various related parties was corrected from cash
on hand to related party advances. Cash on hand increased by $ 7,713,827 , with an offsetting increase to the related party advances liability.
In the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025, this carryover correction is reflected within Related party
advances in financing activities, which changed from $ 932,932 as previously reported to $( 6,780,895 ) as restated; it did not affect the
statement of operations.
(g) Correction of results of operations and
segment reclassification (subsidiaries APL and ATECH). The ‘As Previously Reported’ column reflects the amounts in the
Company’s Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2025; the ‘As Restated’ column reflects
management’s further-corrected balances. Total revenue ( $ 5,976,948 )
and total cost of sales ($ 3,117,389 )
were unchanged in amount, though cost of sales was reallocated between Technology & software (from $ 184,284
to $ 0 )
and Investment and Brokerage (from $ 1,583,278
to $ 1,767,562 )
to reflect the ATECH services supporting the investment and brokerage operations. Within operating expenses, general and
administrative expenses were reduced by $ 3,592
(from $ 2,140,270
to $ 2,136,678 ),
reducing total operating expenses to $ 2,451,714 and
increasing operating income to $ 407,845 .
The principal correction was within other income (expense), corrected from $( 304,188 )
to $( 98,206 ),
a favorable change of $ 205,982 .
The net effect was to increase income before income taxes by $ 209,574
(from $ 104,548
to $ 314,122 ).
(h) Right-of-use asset under ASC 842. The right-of-use (ROU) asset was
not recalculated in the originally filed Form 10-Q/A. Upon remeasurement of the Company’s lease portfolio under ASC 842, the ROU asset
increased by $ 269,916 , with corresponding adjustments to current and non-current operating lease liabilities.
Description
of the Errors — Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
No
Form 10-Q/A was filed for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The ‘As Restated’ column reflects management’s corrected balances. The
corrections are consistent in nature with those described above: (1) reclassification of segregated client funds of $ 37,440,696 from
Cash to Restricted cash, with a corresponding client funds payable; (2) reclassification of the $ 8,200,000 subscription receivable from
current asset to contra-equity; (3) recognition of a right-of-use asset of $ 1,087,104 and corresponding operating lease liabilities under
ASC 842, which had not been recorded in the originally filed Form 10-Q; (4) recognition of 500,000 previously unrecorded shares of common
stock ($ 50 par value); and (5) a reduction of general and administrative expense of $ 72,810 , which decreased net loss and accumulated
deficit by the same amount (net loss before the reclassifications was correspondingly reduced).
Effect
of the Restatement
The effect of the restatement on each affected financial statement line item is presented in the schedules above,
which reconcile amounts As Previously Reported (A) to amounts As Restated (B), with the difference (B)−(A) shown in the final column.
The reclassifications of client funds and subscription receivable did not affect net income (loss); the APL period correction (Q1 2025)
and the general and administrative correction (Q1 2024) affected results of operations as described.
Internal
Control Considerations
In
connection with the restatement, management reassessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures and identified a material weakness relating to the period-cutoff and consolidation of subsidiary results and
the application of ASC 842 to the lease portfolio. The Company is implementing remediation measures, including enhanced review controls
over subsidiary reporting periods and lease accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and other
short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at multiple
financial institutions, both domestic and foreign. For US financial institutions, the balances do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) limits. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the majority of the cash balance was held with non-FDIC financial
institutions in Malta, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, and Australia.
Restricted
Cash — Client Funds Segregated
The
Company’s regulated brokerage subsidiaries — Alchemy Markets Limited (Malta, MFSA-licensed), Alchemy Prime Limited (UK, FCA-licensed),
and AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd (Australia, ASIC-licensed) — hold cash on behalf of clients in segregated bank accounts in accordance
with the client-money rules of their respective regulators. These segregated client funds are not available for general corporate use
and are matched by a corresponding liability presented as “Client funds payable” on the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-50-8, ASC 940 (“Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M, these balances are
classified as restricted cash and presented as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Restricted
cash — client funds (segregated).” The Company adopted this presentation in connection with the restatement described in
this Note and applied the change retrospectively to all periods presented.
The
following table reconciles the components of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheet to

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Common-Control Transactions and Statement of
Cash Flows Classification
The Company accounts for business combinations between
entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50, recognizing the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity at their carrying
amounts as of the transaction date, with any difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying value of net assets received
recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash consideration
paid in common-control acquisitions of businesses is classified as an investing activity, consistent with ASC 230-10-45-13(c), which characterizes
payments to acquire equity instruments of, or interests in, other entities as investing activities. The Company applies this classification
consistently to all common-control business acquisitions across the periods presented.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable primarily represent the amount from four (4) technology customers. In some cases, customer receivables are due immediately upon demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms, where
payment is due in full 30 days after the invoice date. The Company has based
the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance
by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and economic conditions that may affect
a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered
uncollectible.
At March 31, 2025, and December 31,
2024, the Management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 22,382
and $ 22,382 ,
respectively. The bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, was $ 0
and $ 0 ,
respectively.
Sales, Marketing, and Advertising
The Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising
expenses when incurred.
The Company incurred $ 276,204 and $ 46,925 in sales,
marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The sales and
marketing costs mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meetings, online marketing on industry websites, press releases,
and public relations activities. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is mainly due to the increase in promotional marketing costs
for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented
4.62 % and 0.74 % of the sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from two contracts – IT support and maintenance
(‘IT Agreement’) and software development (‘Second Amendment’) that fall within the scope of ASC 606.
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for
those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers
by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which
includes the following steps:
●
Identify the contract or contracts and subsequent amendments with the customer.
●
Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments.
●
Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations.
●
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
●
Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
F- 16
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective
method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after
January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the
Company also considers implementing guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue
collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options
for additional goods or services, non-refundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The Company accounts for a contract when the Company
and the customer (‘parties’) have approved of the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations. Each
party can identify its rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company will collect
all of the considerations. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service
to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment
terms are net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.
The Company considers the change in scope, price,
or both as contract modifications. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract
modification exists when the parties approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations.
The Company assumes a contract modification by oral agreement or implied by the customer’s customary business practice when agreed
in writing. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the existing contract’s
guidance until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms –partial termination,
an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase, adding new goods or services to the contract, with or without a
corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods/services promised.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions
or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within
the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the
agreement. Solutions and services that are not capable of being distinct and distinct within the contract context are combined and treated
as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company
allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines the
stand-alone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception involving these multiple elements.
Since January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’),
the Company has derived its revenues mainly from consulting services, technology solutions, and customized software development. The Company
recognizes revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or delivering a service to a
customer. We measure revenue based upon the consideration outlined in an arrangement or contract with a customer.
F- 17
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
The Company’s standard performance obligations include the following:
Performance Obligation
Types of Deliverables
When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied
Consulting Services
Consulting related to Start-Your-Own-Brokerage (“SYOB”), Start-Your-Own-Prime Brokerage (“SYOPB”), Start-Your-Own-Crypto Exchange (“SYOC”), FX/OTC liquidity solutions and lead generations.
The Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the contract length. If the customer pays the Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services.
Technology Services
Licensing of Condor Risk Management Back Office (“Condor Risk Management”), Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal, Condor Pricing Engine, Crypto Trading Platform (“Crypto Web Trader Platform”), and other cryptocurrency-related solutions.
The Company recognizes ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date such service is made available to the customer. Licensing agreements are typically one year in length with an option to cancel by giving notice; customers have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Licensing agreements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software. The Company charges the customers a set-up fee for installing the platform, and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee.
Software Development
Design and build development software projects for customers, where the Company develops the project to meet the design criteria and performance requirements as specified in the contract.
The Company recognizes the software development revenues when the Customer obtains control of the deliverables as stated in the Statement-of-Work contract.
The Company assumes that the goods or services promised
in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction price. The Company believes that the contract
will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those amounts to which the Company has rights
under the present contract. For example, suppose the Company enters a contract with a customer with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew it for a second
year. In that case, the Company will determine the transaction price based on the initial one-year
period. When
choosing the transaction price, the company first identifies the fixed consideration, including non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To allocate the transaction price, the Company gives
the amount that best represents the consideration that the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to
the customer. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relatively standalone
selling price basis to meet the allocation objective. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence
of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. The Company sometimes uses the
adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or
services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.
The Company recognizes revenue when
or as it transfers the promised goods or services into the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” of the
promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company believes a customer
“obtains control” of an asset when it can directly use and substantially obtain all the remaining benefits from an
asset. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The
Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a
non-current liability.
According to the contract’s terms and conditions,
the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for the month’s services. The invoice amount is due upon receipt.
The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month, equal to the invoice amount.

Wealth Management
AD Advisory Services Pty (ADS), the Company’s
wealth management revenue, primarily consists of advisory revenue, commission revenue from insurance products, fees to prepare the statement
of advice, rebalancing portfolio, and other financial planning activities. ADS is authorized and regulated by the Australian Securities
& Investments Commission (ASIC) to conduct licensing activities in Australia.
ASC 606 establishes a five-step model for revenue
recognition aimed at enhancing comparability and transparency across entities, industries, and capital markets. The Company only recognizes
revenue that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in exchange for the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled.
For ADS, a contract is an agreement between ADS and
a client that creates enforceable rights and obligations, encompassing advisory services, insurance product commissions, and other financial
planning activities. Contracts may be written, oral, or implied by customary business practices and are identified when both parties approve
the agreement; each party can identify rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, establish payment terms, the contract
has commercial substance, and collection of payment is probable.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract
to transfer a distinct good or service to the Customer. For ADS, performance obligations may include:
●
Providing ongoing financial advisory services,
●
Preparing statements of advice,
●
Executing portfolio rebalancing,
●
Facilitating the purchase of insurance products, and
●
Offering other specialized financial and estate planning services.
We evaluate these services to determine if they are
distinct, considering whether the Customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources,
and if the promise to transfer the service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration
ADS expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the Customer. These services include fixed
fees, commissions from insurance products, and variable consideration for performance-based fees. ADS estimates the amount of variable
consideration to which it will be entitled in a manner that reflects the likelihood and magnitude of a revenue reversal.
If a contract includes more than one performance obligation,
ADS allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. When standalone selling prices
are not directly observable, ADS estimates them using methods that may include cost-plus margin, market assessment, or residual approach,
considering the Customer’s perceived value of each service.
ADS recognizes revenue when (or as)
a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., when the control of the promised good or service is transferred to the Customer. For
ongoing services, revenue is recognized over time, reflecting the continuous transfer of services. For services performed at a
specific point in time, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service. The pattern of revenue recognition is determined based
on when the Customer obtains control of the promised good or service, which for advisory services is typically throughout the
contract, and for transaction-based services (like insurance commissions or fees for specific planning activities), is at the point
in time when the transaction is executed, or the service is rendered. If we receive payments before services, we defer and recognize
them as revenue when we are satisfied with our performance obligation. Advisory revenue includes fees charged to clients in advisory
accounts for which we are the licensed investment advisor. We bill advisory fees weekly.

Investment and Brokerage Business
Alchemy Markets Ltd (Alchemy Malta) and Alchemy Prime
Ltd (Alchemy UK) are providers of trading services and solutions specializing in over-the-counter (“OTC”) and exchange-traded
markets for European markets. Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) regulates Alchemy Malta with authorized countries, including Austria,
Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates Alchemy UK in authorized countries, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The Company operates its investment
and brokerage business in two segments: retail and institutional (“clients” or “customers”). Through its
retail and institutional segment, the Company provides its customers (individuals) around the world with access to a diverse range
of global financial markets, including spot forex, precious metals, spread bets, and contracts for difference (“CFDs”)
on currencies, commodities, indices, individual equities, cryptocurrencies, bonds, and interest rate products, as well as OTC
options. The FCA defines a retail customer as a client who is not a professional or an eligible counterparty. A professional client
is an entity that must be authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets. According to the MFSA, a retail client is a
client who is not a professional client or an eligible counterparty. A professional client possesses the knowledge, experience, and
expertise to assess risks and make informed investment decisions.
We recognize Investment and Brokerage revenue through the principal
model following the guidance outlined in ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company primarily generates revenue through
market-making and trading execution services for its clients, known as Investment and Brokerage Revenues. The Investment and Brokerage
revenue is the Company’s largest source of revenue. Investment and Brokerage revenue comprises revenue from the retail OTC business
and the advisory business. OTC trading includes forex trading (“forex”), precious metals trading, CFDs, and spread betting
(in markets that do not prohibit such transactions), as well as other financial products.
We realize gains or losses when we liquidate customer transactions.
We revalue unrealized gains or losses on trading positions at prevailing market rates at the date of the balance sheet. We include them
in Receivables from brokers, Payables to customers, and Payables to brokers on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record changes in net
unrealized gains or losses in Investment and Brokerage revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss)/Income.
We record Investment and Brokerage revenue on a trade date basis.
We also generate business through an agency model
by earning commissions and spreads for executing customer trades. We book these revenues on a trade-date basis. The Company acts as an
agent concerning clearing trades, but is the principal on fees paid to introducing brokers. The Company does not assume any market-making
risk related to customer trades in this business.
Net interest revenue consists primarily of the revenue
generated by the Company’s cash and customer cash held at banks, as well as funds on deposit as collateral with the Company’s
liquidity providers, less interest paid to the Company’s customers.
We record interest revenue and interest expense when
earned and incurred, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, bank deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The Company
maintains its cash balances at multiple financial institutions, both domestic and foreign. For US financial institutions, the
balances do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of March 31, 2025. However, as of December 31, 2024,
the majority of the cash balance was held with non-FDIC financial institutions in Malta, the UK, and other countries. On March 31,
2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 19,878,673 and
$ 25,376,957
cash and cash equivalents held at the financial institution.
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31,
2025 and 2024, the Company generated $ 5,976,948
and $ 6,376,335
in revenues, representing a decrease of over 6.26 %
from the previous period. It is comprised of three main business segments: Investment and Brokerage, Wealth Management, and
Technology and Software Development.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable primarily represent the amount from four (4) technology customers. In some cases, customer receivables are due immediately upon demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms, where
payment is due in full 30 days after the invoice date. The Company has based
the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance
by considering historical experience, credit quality, the age of accounts receivable balances, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, and
the expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off when they are considered
uncollectible.
As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, management
determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 22,382 and $ 22,382 , respectively. The fiscal year’s bad debt expense ended March
31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively.
Research and Development (R and D) Cost
The Company acknowledges that future benefits from
research and development (R and D) are uncertain; therefore, we cannot capitalize on R and D expenditures. The GAAP accounting standards require
us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. For the Three Months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company
incurred R and D costs of $ 0 and $ 0 . The R and D costs in the previous period were based on an evaluation of the technological feasibility
costs of the Condor Investing and Trading App.
Legal Proceedings
The Company
discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records
its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
The Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses with no best estimate in the range; the Company records the minimum estimated liability.
As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings, revises
its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded
as expenses when incurred.
On December
23, 2023, the Company received legal correspondence and supporting documents addressed to APSI Holdings Limited (formerly Alchemy Prime
Holdings Limited) and FDCTech, Inc. The nature of the legal claims or disputes has not been fully specified in the received correspondence.
The Company is assessing the situation and will respond appropriately. While management cannot predict the outcome of these matters,
any adverse resolution could potentially have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of
operations. The Company intends to defend its interests vigorously and will provide further updates as material developments arise.
Asher Alkoby, et
al. v. FDCTech, Inc.
On December 9, 2024,
Asher Alkoby and other former shareholders of Alchemy Markets Ltd. (“AML”), the Company’s Malta-incorporated broker-dealer
subsidiary acquired in June 2023, filed a claim against the Company in the London Circuit Commercial Court (Claim No. LM-2024-000330).
The claimants seek approximately $ 1.02 million in amounts they allege are owed under the Share Sale Agreement, together with rectification
of the agreement to render it legally enforceable. Following completion of the acquisition, the Company identified anti-money laundering
deficiencies at the subsidiary that had resulted in a 2019 administrative fine by the Malta Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (“FIAU”),
as well as undisclosed loans taken by the previous shareholders from the subsidiary that had not been repaid, resulting in net capital
lower than disclosed during negotiations. Based on these findings, the Company withheld the final payment otherwise due to the sellers.
The Company has filed a counterclaim seeking a declaration that the Share Sale Agreement is ineffective and unenforceable and repayment
of $ 915,000 previously paid to the sellers. The Company served its Defense and Counterclaim on May 9, 2025. Subsequent to March 31, 2025,
on October 17, 2025, the Court granted the claimants permission to amend their claim to include a third claimant. A Costs and Case Management
Conference took place on November 17, 2025, at which directions were given for trial, which is scheduled for November 2026. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses and counterclaims and intends to defend the action vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainty of
litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty.

Alchemy Markets
Ltd. v. Il-Korp għall-Analizi ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 104/2023)
On October 19, 2023,
AML filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal (Inferior Jurisdiction) in Malta challenging an administrative penalty of € 419,997 and
a follow-up directive imposed by the FIAU on September 23, 2023. The FIAU penalty was based on a compliance examination conducted between
November 25, 2019 and December 5, 2019, prior to the Company’s acquisition of AML and under different ownership and control of
the subsidiary. The appeal challenges the decision-making process leading to the penalty and the law on which it was based, asserts that
the penalty is arbitrary and excessive, and contends that certain aspects of the decision are unfounded in law and fact. The case is
in the evidentiary production stage pertaining to the Company as appellant. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, a hearing was held on October
24, 2025 for the Company to continue presenting evidence. The Court has scheduled an additional hearing for February 2, 2026 for the
FIAU to cross-examine the Company’s witnesses, following which the matter will be adjourned for final legal submissions. The Company
believes it has meritorious grounds for the appeal and intends to pursue it vigorously.
Alchemy Markets
Ltd. v. L-Avukat tal-Istat u Il-Korp għall-Analizi ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 159/2024)
On April 2, 2024, AML
filed a constitutional challenge before the First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) in Malta relating to the same September
23, 2023 FIAU decision described above. The application challenges (i) the composition of the FIAU and its enabling law; (ii) the FIAU’s
decision-making processes as allegedly breaching the Company’s fundamental right to a fair hearing; and (iii) the imposition of
an administrative penalty of a penal nature without adjudication by an independent court, in alleged breach of the Constitution of Malta.
The Company seeks to have the FIAU decision set aside in its entirety. A first procedural hearing took place on May 7, 2024, and the
Company has presented its evidence in support of the claim. The First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) has, in prior judgments
involving other subject persons, characterized FIAU administrative penalties as more akin to penal sanctions and quashed FIAU decisions
on that basis, although certain of those judgments have been overturned on appeal. The Company considers that the principles underpinning
such prior judgments are applicable to its case.
FDCTech, Inc. v.
Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com, et al.
Subsequent to March
31, 2025, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the operators of the websites
Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com, and Criticalintel.com. The complaint alleges that the defendants published false and defamatory
statements accusing the Company of fraud, illegal conduct, and regulatory violations, causing reputational and financial harm including
lost business opportunities, and engaged in an extortion scheme by demanding payment for the removal of defamatory content. The complaint
asserts claims for defamation per se, defamation per quod, trade libel, and false light, and seeks damages and injunctive relief. As
of the date of this filing, the complaint had not yet been served. A hearing took place on December 15, 2025 on the Company’s motion,
following which the court instructed the Company to conduct an investigation as to the beneficial owner of Intelligenceline.com. The
Company is the plaintiff in this matter.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company records
a liability for loss contingencies when management, in consultation with legal counsel, determines that a loss is probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2025, no amounts have been accrued for the matters described above, as management has determined,
in consultation with counsel, that a loss is not probable or, where reasonably possible, cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company
is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued for the matters described above.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and counterclaims in the matters in which it is a defendant and intends to defend them
vigorously; however, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the outcomes with certainty.
Other than the matters
described above, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, nor is any of their property the subject of, any material
pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment
in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under the standard, long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized when the asset’s
carrying value exceeds the fair value. There were no impairment charges as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using
the asset and liability method. This method calculates deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between
the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.
The Company utilizes a two-step
approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the
tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure
the tax benefit as the largest amount, exceeding 50%, that is likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers
various factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, which necessitate periodic adjustments
that may not accurately predict actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of its operations. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized
tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve (12) months.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Software Development Costs
According to ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including expenses incurred to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technological feasibility, if significant.
The Company amortizes the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the application software. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the technical feasibility of the Condor FX Back Office, Condor
Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company established the technical feasibility of the Digital
Assets Web Trader Platform in February 2018. The Company completed the technical feasibility of the Condor Investing and Trading App in
January 2021.
The Company estimates the useful life of the software
to be three ( 3 ) years.
The Company is developing the Condor
Investing and Trading App. The Company is currently capitalizing on the costs associated with the development. The R and D costs in
the period ending September 30, 2022, were incurred in evaluating the technological feasibility of the Robo Advice Platform. The R
and D costs in the period ending December 31, 2022, were incurred while evaluating the technological feasibility of the Condor
Investing and Trading App. There were no R and D costs for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024.
The Company capitalizes major costs incurred during
the application development stage for internal-use software.
Convertible Debentures
The cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with
Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible debt instruments, including certain convertible preferred stock classified as a liability, to determine whether the conversion feature should be recognized as a separate component
of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments that, upon conversion, may be settled entirely or
partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.
If the conversion features of conventional convertible
debt provide a conversion rate below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).
The Company records BCF as a debt discount in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In such circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the Black-Scholes formula. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the
life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The Company translates its foreign operations into US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters .” Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency
financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the Company’s
stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests. Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statements
of Income, within “Other (income) expense, net”, in the year in which the change occurs.

Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize
certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which the Company can sell the asset or settle
a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation
techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach – The market approach uses the
prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach – The income approach utilizes estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate that reflects the time value of money
and the risk of not achieving the cash flows,
to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated
cost to replace an asset, adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value
hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (the best) to Level 3 (the worst). The Company uses these three levels to select
inputs for valuation techniques:
Level I
Level 2
Level 3
Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available.
Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit, based on the sales, EBITDA, or net income of comparable companies.
Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally generated financial forecast.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to
account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of March 31, 2025, and
2024, the Company had weighted 422,729,173 and 389,084,729 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding.
During the period ended March 31, 2025, common stock
equivalents were dilutive due to net income. Hence, they were considered in the computation.
During the period ended March 31, 2024, common stock
equivalents were dilutive due to net income. Hence, they were considered in the computation.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior
period to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications impacted reported operating or net loss for
any presented period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including
most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue
when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing,
and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers’ contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year.
The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, applying it to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The
Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported
in accordance with legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2, Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers, for further discussion on the Company’s accounting
policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
NOTE 3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements
on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the accumulated deficit was $ 2,103,290 and $ 2,396,102 , respectively. At March
31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the working capital surplus was $ 1,953,304 and $ 991,609 , respectively.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31,
2025, and 2024, the Company incurred net profits of $ 314,122 and $ 906,255 , respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company
had a total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $ 19,878,673 ,
which the Management believes is sufficient to support its ongoing operations and meet current obligations in the ordinary course of
business for at least the next twelve (12) months. Over the past fiscal years, the Company has demonstrated strong revenue growth
and improved operational efficiency, with operating expenses decreasing as a percentage of total revenue.
While the Company has adequate liquidity to sustain
its existing business activities, its strategic growth initiatives, particularly in the development of financial technologies, may require
additional capital investment. To accelerate expansion and enhance its technological offerings, the Company may seek external financing

Cares Act – Paycheck Protection Program (PPP
Note)
On May 01, 2020, the Company received proceeds of
Fifty-Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two ($ 50,632 ) from the Promissory Note (“PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program
under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The funding of the PPP Note is conditioned
upon approval of the Company’s application by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and Bank of America (“Bank”) and
receiving confirmation from the SBA that the Bank may proceed with the PPP Note. Suppose the SBA does not confirm the PPP Note’s
forgiveness, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the PPP Note, or the Company fails to apply for PPP Note forgiveness. In that case,
the Company will be obligated to repay the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the PPP Note, including principal and
interest (the “PPP Note Balance”). In such case, Bank will establish the terms for repayment of the PPP Note Balance in a
separate letter to be provided to the Company, which letter will set forth the PPP Note Balance, the amount of each monthly payment, the
interest rate (not above a fixed rate of one percent ( 1.00 %) per annum), the term of the PPP Note, and the maturity date of two (2) years
from the funding date of the PPP Note. No principal or interest payments will be due before the Deferment Period, which is ten months
from the end of the covered period. The PPP Note was not forgiven. The Company started paying off the PPP Note in August 2022. The outstanding balance of the PPP loan, including accrued interest at 1.00 %, is approximately $ 2,389 as of March 31, 2025.
SBA Loan
On May 22, 2020, the Company received $ 144,900 .
The installment payments will include both principal and interest of $ 707
per month and begin twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory note. The principal and interest balance will be payable

as of March 31, 2025.
AJB Note
On January 27, 2022, the Company signed a
promissory note (‘AJB Note’) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (‘AJB Capital’), a Delaware limited liability
company, for the principal amount of $ 550,000
with a maturity date of July
27, 2022 , and a coupon of 10%. As part of the AJB Note, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, where AJB
Capital will receive equity equal to US $ 155,000
of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 2,214,286
common stock valued at $ 71,521
upon issuance of the Note (the “Shares”) and 1,000,000 3 -year
cash warrants (‘Warrants’) priced at $ 0.30 .
The Warrants and the Shares, collectively known as the ‘Incentive Fee,’ are issued upon execution of the agreement. The
Company paid off the loan in February 2023.
On December 27, 2023, the Company redeemed the Warrants
on the following terms:
i)
The Company shall pay $ 100,000 to the Purchaser concurrently with its execution and delivery of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”);

shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) on December 27, 2023 (the “Share Issuance”).
Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)
The Small Business Administration offers the Economic
Injury Disaster Loan program. The CARES Act modified the program to offer an emergency grant of up to $ 10,000 per business, which is forgivable, similar to the PPP Loan. The Company doesn’t have to repay the grant. On May 14, 2020, the Company received $ 4,000 in EIDL
grants. The Company has recorded it as other income since the EIDL grant is forgivable.

a lease agreement for office space located on the fifth floor at 142 Central Street, Clerkenwell, London, EC1V BAR. Agop Tanielian and Hourig Mercedes Tanielian hold the lease as landlords, and the Company, through its subsidiary Alchemy

Asher Alkoby, et al. v. FDCTech, Inc.
On December 9, 2024, Asher Alkoby and other former
shareholders of Alchemy Markets Ltd. (“AML”), the Company’s Malta-incorporated broker-dealer subsidiary acquired in
June 2023, filed a claim against the Company in the London Circuit Commercial Court (Claim No. LM-2024-000330). The claimants seek approximately
$ 1.02 million in amounts they allege are owed under the Share Sale Agreement, together with rectification of the agreement to render it
legally enforceable. Following completion of the acquisition, the Company identified anti-money laundering deficiencies at the subsidiary
that had resulted in a 2019 administrative fine by the Malta Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (“FIAU”), as well as undisclosed
loans taken by the previous shareholders from the subsidiary that had not been repaid, resulting in net capital lower than disclosed during
negotiations. Based on these findings, the Company withheld the final payment otherwise due to the sellers. The Company has filed a counterclaim
seeking a declaration that the Share Sale Agreement is ineffective and unenforceable and repayment of $ 915,000 previously paid to the
sellers. The Company served its Defense and Counterclaim on May 9, 2025. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, on October 17, 2025, the Court
granted the claimants permission to amend their claim to include a third claimant. A Costs and Case Management Conference took place on
November 17, 2025, at which directions were given for trial, which is scheduled for November 2026. The Company believes it has meritorious
defenses and counterclaims and intends to defend the action vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, the Company cannot
predict the outcome of this matter with certainty.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Alchemy Markets Ltd. v. Il-Korp għall-Analizi
ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 104/2023)
On October 19, 2023, AML filed an appeal in the
Court of Appeal (Inferior Jurisdiction) in Malta challenging an administrative penalty of € 419,997
and a follow-up directive imposed by the FIAU on September 23, 2023. The FIAU penalty was based on a compliance examination
conducted between November 25, 2019, and December 5, 2019, before the Company acquired AML and under the different ownership and
control of the subsidiary. The appeal challenges the decision-making process leading to the penalty and the law on which it was
based, asserts that the penalty is arbitrary and excessive, and contends that certain aspects of the decision are unfounded in law
and fact. The case is in the evidentiary production stage pertaining to the Company as appellant. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, a
hearing was held on October 24, 2025, for the Company to continue presenting evidence. The Court has scheduled an additional hearing
for February 2, 2026, for the FIAU to cross-examine the Company’s witnesses, following which the matter will be adjourned for
final legal submissions. The Company believes it has meritorious grounds for the appeal and intends to pursue it vigorously.
Alchemy Markets Ltd. v. L-Avukat tal-Istat u Il-Korp
għall-Analizi ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 159/2024)
On April 2, 2024, AML filed a constitutional challenge
before the First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) in Malta relating to the same September 23, 2023, FIAU decision described
above. The application challenges (i) the composition of the FIAU and its enabling law; (ii) the FIAU’s decision-making processes
as allegedly breaching the Company’s fundamental right to a fair hearing; and (iii) the imposition of an administrative penalty
of a penal nature without adjudication by an independent court, in alleged breach of the Constitution of Malta. The Company seeks to have
the FIAU decision set aside in its entirety. A first procedural hearing took place on May 7, 2024, and the Company has presented its evidence
in support of the claim. The First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) has, in prior judgments involving other subject persons,
characterized FIAU administrative penalties as more akin to penal sanctions and quashed FIAU decisions on that basis, although certain
of those judgments have been overturned on appeal. The Company considers that the principles underpinning such prior judgments are applicable
to its case.
FDCTech, Inc. v. Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com,
et al.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company filed a
complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the operators of the websites Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com,
and Criticalintel.com. The complaint alleges that the defendants published false and defamatory statements accusing the Company of fraud,
illegal conduct, and regulatory violations, causing reputational and financial harm, including lost business opportunities, and engaged
in an extortion scheme by demanding payment for the removal of defamatory content. The complaint asserts claims for defamation per se,
defamation per quod, trade libel, and false light, and seeks damages and injunctive relief. As of the date of this filing, the complaint
had not yet been served. A hearing took place on December 15, 2025, on the Company’s motion, following which the court instructed
the Company to investigate as to the beneficial owner of Intelligenceline.com. The Company is the plaintiff in this matter.
The Company records a liability for loss contingencies
when management, in consultation with legal counsel, determines that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As
of March 31, 2025, no amounts have been accrued for the matters described above, as management has determined, in consultation with counsel,
that a loss is not probable or, where reasonably possible, cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company is unable to estimate the reasonably
possible loss or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued for the matters described above. The Company believes it has meritorious
defenses and counterclaims in the matters in which it is a defendant and intends to defend them vigorously; however, litigation is inherently
uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the outcomes with certainty.
Other than the matters described above, neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, nor is any of their property the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings
other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.
Tax Compliance Matters
From its inception to the present, the
Company’s officers have been paid as independent contractors. As of March 31, 2025, the Company believes its
payroll tax liabilities are not yet estimated. The Company’s federal taxes are acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTE 11. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Basis of comprehensive income (loss)
The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”)
consists of foreign currency translation adjustments arising from those subsidiaries that do not use the U.S. dollar as their functional
currency — AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd. (ADS, Australian dollar), Alchemy Markets Ltd. (AML, euro), Alchemy Prime Limited (APL,
pound sterling), and Alchemytech Ltd. (ATECH, euro). These adjustments are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests, and are reclassified to the statement of operations
only upon the disposal or liquidation of the related subsidiary. Because the undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries
are considered indefinitely reinvested, no deferred tax effect has been recorded on the OCI components presented (ASC 740-30-25-17). No
amounts were reclassified out of AOCI to net income during the three months ended March 31, 2025, or March 31, 2024.
The following table shows the changes in AOCI by component
for the three months ending March 31, 2025, and 2024:

of $ 225,228 at December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 (restated), the Company recognized total other comprehensive
loss of $( 242,516 ), comprising translation adjustments attributable to ADS of $ 6,810 , AML of $( 230,864 ), and APL of $( 18,462 ), reducing
the AOCI balance to $( 17,288 ) at March 31, 2024. The AOCI balance was $( 72,781 ) at December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March

NOTE 12. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) represents the 49 % minority interest in AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd.
(“ADS”); ADS is the only subsidiary in which the Company holds less than a 100% interest. NCI is allocated its proportionate
share of ADS net income (loss) and of ADS other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts attributable to NCI are presented on the same negative
(income) convention as the consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss
of control are accounted for as equity transactions, with the carrying amount of NCI adjusted to reflect the change in ownership and any
related cumulative translation adjustment reclassified accordingly; the effect of the AML buyout during the three months ended March 31,
2025, is presented on this basis.
Net income (loss) of ADS is attributed between the
controlling interest ( 51 %, recorded by FDCTech, Inc.) and the noncontrolling interest ( 49 %) based on relative ownership percentages, with
the noncontrolling interest’s share presented on the consolidated statement of operations as “Net income (loss) attributable
to noncontrolling interest.” Foreign currency translation adjustments (a component of other comprehensive income) arising from translation
of ADS’s Australian dollar functional currency financial statements to U.S. dollars are likewise allocated between the controlling
and noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 220-10-45-5; only the controlling interest’s portion is included in accumulated
other comprehensive income attributable to FDCTech, Inc. stockholders. As described in the Restatement of Previously Issued Financial
Statements subsection above, the Company has corrected the prior allocation method, which had reflected total consolidated other comprehensive
income in the FDC stockholders’ column without separately allocating the noncontrolling share.
The following table presents the activity in the noncontrolling
interest balance for the three months ended March 31, 2025, including the comparative roll-forward to December 31, 2024:

translation adjustment reclassification in connection with the AML buyout — resulting in an NCI balance of $ 14,199 at March 31,
2025.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring
after March 31, 2025, through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, in accordance with
ASC 855, Subsequent Events. The following events are disclosed.
Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
On April 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of FDCTech,
Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“Olayinka”) as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm following changes in Olayinka’s status with OTC Markets Group as a Prohibited Service
Provider. On the same date, the Board approved the engagement of LAO Professionals (“LAO”) (PCAOB Firm ID No. 7057) as the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective April 3, 2025.
Formation of New Subsidiary
On May 27, 2025, the Company formed a new wholly owned
subsidiary, Prime Intermarket Group Eurasia (“PIG Eurasia”), incorporated in the Republic of Mauritius. PIG Eurasia is structured
as a private company limited by shares and is regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius under the Companies Act. The
subsidiary will operate under a SEC-2.1B Investment Dealer License (Full-Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting).
Acquisition of Alchemy International Limited (Seychelles)
On October 29, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition
of 99.9 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Alchemy International Limited (“AIL”), a Seychelles-incorporated company
licensed by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), from Sync Capital Limited (an entity controlled by Mr. Gope S. Kundnani,
a related party), for total consideration of $ 2,000,000 , evidenced by a business acquisition seller’s note. As Sync Capital Limited
and the Company are entities under common control of Mr. Kundnani, the acquisition has been accounted for as a transaction between entities
under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50. AIL has been combined with the Company at carrying value, resulting in a credit to
additional paid-in capital of $ 8,933,118 and recognition of the $ 2,000,000 business acquisition seller’s note as a current liability.
As described below, the maturity of the seller’s note was subsequently extended to September 30, 2026.
Amendment to Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
Conversion Terms
In January 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of
Amendment to the Certificate of Designation of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The amendment did not change the number of authorized or issued shares, nor any other rights, preferences, or privileges, except with
respect to conversion rights. As amended, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock remains convertible, at the option of the
holder, into 100 shares of Common Stock (the “Base Conversion Rate”); however, if the Company completes a qualifying public
offering of $ 10,000,000 or more that includes an uplisting of its Common Stock to The Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange,
the conversion rate applicable to shares converted in connection with such offering will be determined by the Board of Directors within
a range of 10 to 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the Company anticipates a ratio of
10:1 would apply).
Planned Uplisting to a National Securities Exchange
In connection with its previously announced plan to
uplist its Common Stock to a national securities exchange, the Company engaged Lucosky Brookman LLP as legal counsel and E.F. Hutton &
Co. LLC as financial advisor to assist with capital markets strategy, financing opportunities, and the uplisting process. The Company
intends to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of the date these financial statements
were available to be issued, the registration statement had not yet been filed.
U.S.–Israel–Iran Military Conflict
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel
launched coordinated joint military strikes against Iran, and Iran subsequently responded with missile and drone attacks against targets
in the region and sought to restrict commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The Company maintains a sales office in Tel Aviv,
Israel; as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued, that office had not experienced any material disruption
to its operations as a direct result of the conflict. The Company’s operating subsidiaries are located in the United Kingdom, Malta,
Cyprus, Australia, Seychelles, and Mauritius, none of which are in the directly affected region. This event is classified as a Type II
non-recognized subsequent event under ASC 855-10, as it does not relate to conditions that existed at March 31, 2025, and does not result
in any adjustment to the amounts recognized in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
F- 40
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Ratification
On March 24, 2026, the Company filed a ratification
of Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, designating 3,000,000 shares of its authorized preferred
stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.” Each share carries one vote, voting together
with the Common Stock as a single class, and is convertible at the option of the holder into 100 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
and to a Board-determined conversion ratio (ranging from 100:1 to 10:1) in the event the Company completes a qualifying public offering
of $ 10,000,000 or more with an uplisting to Nasdaq or the NYSE. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, 2,371,844 shares
of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
AIL Seller’s Note
The maturity of the $ 2,000,000 seller’s note
obligation for the acquisition of AIL was extended to September 30, 2026.
Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd.
On May 19, 2026, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority
granted conditional approval for the transfer to the Company of 100% of Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd., a non-operating CIMA-licensed company,
which had not yet been completed as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued. This is a Type II non-recognized
subsequent event under ASC 855-10.
Alchemy Markets Ltd. (AML, Malta)
On June 1, 2026, the Malta Financial Services Authority
confirmed its no-objection to changing the name of the Company’s wholly owned Maltese subsidiary, Alchemy Markets Ltd., to “Crestmark
Trading Ltd,” effective upon issuance of the altered certificate by the Malta Business Registry. This is a Type II non-recognized
subsequent event under ASC 855-10 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Restatement and Non-Reliance on Previously Issued
Financial Statements
On June 3, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation
with management and LAO, concluded — having determined the nature and magnitude of the errors — that the Company’s previously
issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (as included in the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed May 13, 2025 and Amendment No. 1 thereto), as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as of
and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as the audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the audited consolidated financial statements
as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (as included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed April 17, 2026 and Amendment
No. 1 thereto), should no longer be relied upon. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 4.02 on June 8, 2026, providing
notification of non-reliance and notifying the previously dismissed independent registered public accounting firm of such non-reliance
pursuant to Item 4.02(c). The Company is concurrently filing Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and Amendments to its
quarterly reports for the periods listed above, to restate the affected financial statements in accordance with ASC 250-10.
The Company has evaluated all other events occurring after March 31, 2025, through the date these condensed consolidated
financial statements were available to be issued and has concluded that no other material subsequent events have occurred that would require
disclosure or adjustment to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

CIM Acquisition Termination
On July 31, 2023, the Company sent the notice of termination
of the purchase agreement to CIM Securities, as future events may result in a change of ownership in the CMA application. The Company
believed that this would cause further delays in the approval process. Our board has mandated that the management team focus on expanding and developing our core non-US foreign exchange business to maximize shareholder value.
Bank Acquisition Termination
In April 2024, the Company terminated the letter of
intent to acquire a community bank in Iowa. As part of the termination, the Company paid the community bank a sum of $100,000 in
six equal installments of $15,000, plus one final payment of $10,000, from April 2024 to November 2024.
Consolidated Financial Summary
The Company has prepared consolidated
financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the ordinary course of business. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company generated
$5,976,948 and $6,376,335 in revenues.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a total cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $19,878,673 and an accumulated deficit of $2,103,290.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had a total cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $25,376,957 and an accumulated deficit of $2,396,102.
Financial Condition as of March 31, 2025
On March 31, 2025, the accumulated deficit, cash balance,
and working capital surplus were $2,103,290, $19,878,673, and $1,953,304, respectively.
Financial Condition at December 31, 2024

cash balance, and working capital surplus were $2,396,102, $25,376,957, and $991,609, respectively.
Although we believe our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations and growth, the Company plans to raise
additional 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 global customer base, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide future economic benefits beyond fiscal 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company
incurred general and administrative costs (“G&A”) of $2,136,678 and $2,226,324, respectively (excluding amortization expenses).
The increase in G&A for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is due to the inclusion of general and administrative costs of all
subsidiaries. The G&A costs were 35.75% and 34.92% of the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The rental expense was $61,150 and $49,162 for the
three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The Company incurred $276,204 and $46,925 in
sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The
sales and marketing costs mainly included travel costs for trade shows, customer meetings, online marketing on industry websites,
press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 4.62% and 0.74% of the
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had cash balances of $19,878,673
and $25,376,957, respectively. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the working capital surplus was $1,953,304 and $991,609, respectively.
The increase in working capital surplus reflects continued operational cash generation, the reclassification of related-party advances
to long-term, and the segregation of client funds reported as both restricted cash and a corresponding client funds payable liability.
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.

stock to Kundnani. On November 30, 2023, Kundnani purchased 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $5.5 million. The

ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the accumulated deficit was $2,103,290 and
$2,396,102. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their reports on the audited financial statements for the fiscal

include additional note disclosures that describe the circumstances leading to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial

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.

(“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 March 31, 2025.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation,
and as further described below in connection with the restatement of our previously issued financial statements, our Certifying Officers
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Amendment, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light
of the material weaknesses described below, our management performed additional procedures to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Amendment have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly,
management has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses identified, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Amendment present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and
cash flows for the periods presented. Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. In connection with the preparation
of this Amendment, the Company identified the following material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting: (i) Subscription
Receivable Classification—The Company did not have effective controls to ensure that subscription receivables for capital stock
subscribed but not yet collected were presented as a deduction from stockholders’ equity (contra-equity), rather than as a current
asset, in accordance with ASC 505-10-45-2; (ii) Stock Issuance Tracking—The Company did not have effective controls to ensure that
all common share issuances physically delivered to recipients were timely recorded in the Company’s share register and reflected
in its consolidated financial statements (specifically, 500,000 shares of common stock issued in October 2021 were not recorded by the
Company’s transfer agent and were not reflected in the financial statements as originally filed); (iii) Restricted Cash Presentation—The
Company did not have effective controls to ensure that segregated client funds held by its regulated subsidiaries were classified as restricted
cash, separate from the firm’s own operating cash, in accordance with ASC 230-10-50-8; and (iv) Noncontrolling Interest and Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income Allocation—The Company did not have effective controls to ensure that the noncontrolling interest walk
and the allocation of other comprehensive income between the noncontrolling interest and the controlling interest were prepared in accordance
with ASC 810-10 and ASC 220-10, respectively. Remediation Plan. Management, under the oversight of the Board of Directors, has begun implementing
the following remediation measures: (a) engagement of an external accounting advisory firm to assist with technical accounting consultation
on complex transactions; (b) implementation of a quarterly share register reconciliation process between the Company’s records and
those of the transfer agent; (c) enhancement of the cash classification policy to specifically address segregated client funds at regulated
subsidiaries; and (d) development of standardized templates and review procedures for the noncontrolling interest walk and other comprehensive
income allocation. Management believes the steps outlined above, when fully implemented and operating effectively, will remediate the
material weaknesses described herein. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have
operated for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are designed and operating effectively.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended.
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management utilized the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in its 2013 Framework for Internal Control. Our internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Our internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not be effective in preventing or detecting errors or misstatements in our consolidated
financial statements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. Based on
our assessments, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2025, due to the material weakness in our internal controls, inadequate segregation of duties within account processes, limited personnel, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record
keeping.
Management intends to implement remediation
steps to enhance our internal controls, addressing inadequate segregation of duties within account processes, limited personnel
resources, and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, financial reporting, and record-keeping. We plan to
further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business, identifying
third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and considering additional staff with the
requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals, and implementing additional layers of
reviews in the internal controls and financial reporting process.
This Report does not include an attestation report
from our independent registered public accounting firm, as we are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the
Exchange Act that occurred during the three months Ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On December 23, 2023, the Company received legal correspondence
and supporting documents addressed to APSI Holdings Limited (formerly Alchemy Prime Holdings Limited) and FDCTech, Inc. The nature of
the legal claims or disputes has not been fully specified in the received correspondence. The Company is assessing the situation and will
respond appropriately. While management cannot predict the outcome of these matters, any adverse resolution could potentially have a material
impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company intends to defend its interests vigorously
and will provide further updates as material developments arise.
Asher Alkoby, et
al. v. FDCTech, Inc.
On December 9, 2024,
Asher Alkoby and other former shareholders of Alchemy Markets Ltd. (“AML”), the Company’s Malta-incorporated broker-dealer
subsidiary acquired in June 2023, filed a claim against the Company in the London Circuit Commercial Court (Claim No. LM-2024-000330).
The claimants seek approximately $1.02 million in amounts they allege are owed under the Share Sale Agreement, together with rectification
of the agreement to render it legally enforceable. Following completion of the acquisition, the Company identified anti-money laundering
deficiencies at the subsidiary that had resulted in a 2019 administrative fine by the Malta Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (“FIAU”),
as well as undisclosed loans taken by the previous shareholders from the subsidiary that had not been repaid, resulting in net capital
lower than disclosed during negotiations. Based on these findings, the Company withheld the final payment otherwise due to the sellers.
The Company has filed a counterclaim seeking a declaration that the Share Sale Agreement is ineffective and unenforceable and repayment
of $915,000 previously paid to the sellers. The Company served its Defense and Counterclaim on May 9, 2025. Subsequent to March 31, 2025,
on October 17, 2025, the Court granted the claimants permission to amend their claim to include a third claimant. A Costs and Case Management
Conference took place on November 17, 2025, at which directions were given for trial, which is scheduled for November 2026. The Company
believes it has meritorious defenses and counterclaims and intends to defend the action vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainty of
litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter with certainty.
Alchemy Markets
Ltd. v. Il-Korp għall-Analizi ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 104/2023)
On October 19, 2023,
AML filed an appeal in the Court of Appeal (Inferior Jurisdiction) in Malta challenging an administrative penalty of €419,997 and
a follow-up directive imposed by the FIAU on September 23, 2023. The FIAU penalty was based on a compliance examination conducted between
November 25, 2019 and December 5, 2019, prior to the Company’s acquisition of AML and under different ownership and control of
the subsidiary. The appeal challenges the decision-making process leading to the penalty and the law on which it was based, asserts that
the penalty is arbitrary and excessive, and contends that certain aspects of the decision are unfounded in law and fact. The case is
in the evidentiary production stage pertaining to the Company as appellant. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, a hearing was held on October
24, 2025 for the Company to continue presenting evidence. The Court has scheduled an additional hearing for February 2, 2026 for the
FIAU to cross-examine the Company’s witnesses, following which the matter will be adjourned for final legal submissions. The Company
believes it has meritorious grounds for the appeal and intends to pursue it vigorously.
Alchemy Markets
Ltd. v. L-Avukat tal-Istat u Il-Korp għall-Analizi ta’ Informazzjoni Finanzjarja (Ref: 159/2024)
On April 2, 2024, AML
filed a constitutional challenge before the First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) in Malta relating to the same September
23, 2023 FIAU decision described above. The application challenges (i) the composition of the FIAU and its enabling law; (ii) the FIAU’s
decision-making processes as allegedly breaching the Company’s fundamental right to a fair hearing; and (iii) the imposition of
an administrative penalty of a penal nature without adjudication by an independent court, in alleged breach of the Constitution of Malta.
The Company seeks to have the FIAU decision set aside in its entirety. A first procedural hearing took place on May 7, 2024, and the
Company has presented its evidence in support of the claim. The First Hall Civil Court (Constitutional Jurisdiction) has, in prior judgments
involving other subject persons, characterized FIAU administrative penalties as more akin to penal sanctions and quashed FIAU decisions
on that basis, although certain of those judgments have been overturned on appeal. The Company considers that the principles underpinning
such prior judgments are applicable to its case.
FDCTech, Inc. v.
Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com, et al.
Subsequent to March
31, 2025, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the operators of the websites
Intelligenceline.com, Fintelegram.com, and Criticalintel.com. The complaint alleges that the defendants published false and defamatory
statements accusing the Company of fraud, illegal conduct, and regulatory violations, causing reputational and financial harm including
lost business opportunities, and engaged in an extortion scheme by demanding payment for the removal of defamatory content. The complaint
asserts claims for defamation per se, defamation per quod, trade libel, and false light, and seeks damages and injunctive relief. As
of the date of this filing, the complaint had not yet been served. A hearing took place on December 15, 2025 on the Company’s motion,
following which the court instructed the Company to conduct an investigation as to the beneficial owner of Intelligenceline.com. The
Company is the plaintiff in this matter.
The Company records
a liability for loss contingencies when management, in consultation with legal counsel, determines that a loss is probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2025, no amounts have been accrued for the matters described above, as management has determined,
in consultation with counsel, that a loss is not probable or, where reasonably possible, cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company
is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued for the matters described above.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and counterclaims in the matters in which it is a defendant and intends to defend them
vigorously; however, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the outcomes with certainty.
13
Other than the matters
described above, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, nor is any of their property the subject of, any material
pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.
Item 1A.
