NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company historically engaged in the production and sale of fruit juice concentrates (including fruit purees and fruit juices), fruit beverages (including fruit juice beverages and fruit cider beverages) in the PRC. Due to drastically increased production costs and tightened environmental laws in China, the Company had transformed its business from fruit juice manufacturing and distribution to financial technology related service businesses. The main business of the Company includes supply chain financing services and trading in China. The Company also expanded into brokerage and investment banking business in Hong Kong. The Company had a contractual arrangements with a VIE E-Commerce Tianjin in China, which has generated minimal revenue and business since 2021 due to the negative impact caused by COVID-19. The Company started the process to close it down in November 2023 and completed deregistration and dissolution of the VIE with local authority on March 7, 2024. On March 27, 2025, Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Florida Secretary of State’s office Articles of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to amend its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”). As a result of the Amendment, the Company has authorized and approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 60,000,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The common stock will continue to be $ 0.001 par value. The Company rounded up the fractional shares that result from the Reverse Stock Split and no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. No changes are being made to the number of preferred shares of the Company which remain as 10,000,000 preferred shares as authorized but not issued. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company took effect at 1:00pm E.T. on April 1, 2025. The reverse stock split would be reflected in our March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and in per share data for all periods presented. 5 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent periods or for the entire year ending December 31, 2025. The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Discontinued Operations On March 7, 2024, Chain Cloud Mall Network and Technology (Tianjin) Co., Limited was dissolved and deregistered. On September 4, 2024, Tianjin Future Private Equity Fund Management Partnership (Ltd Partnership) was dissolved and deregistered. The loss on disposal was $ 22.46 .

On December 6, 2024, FTFT Super Computing Inc. was disposed of for a consideration of US$ 1.97 million, of which (i) the assumption of the obligations of FTFT Super Computing totaling $ 973,072.24 and (ii) $ 1,000,000 was paid to an account at Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP to satisfy, in part, the right of payment held by FT Global Capital, Inc. arising from the judgment entered in favor of FT Global and against the Company registered in the Southern District of New York. The gain on disposal was $ 3.42 million. On February 3, 2025, FTFT UK LIMITED, FTFT Finance UK Limited, Future Fintech Digital Number One US, LP, Future Fintech Digital Number One Offshore, LLC(Cayman), Future Fintech Digital Number One GP,LLC (USA), FTFT Digital Number One, Ltd.(Cayman), Future FinTech Labs Inc, Future Fintech Digital Capital, FTFT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, DigiPay FinTech Limited, DCON DigiPay Limited-JPN and Global Key Shared Mall Ltd were disposed of for a consideration of US$ 25,000 after a court auction sale. The gain of disposal was $ 28.24 million. Based on the disposal plan and in accordance with ASC 205-20, the Company presented the operating results from these operations as a discontinued operation. Segment Information Reclassification The Company classified business segment into supply chain financing and trading and asset management services, and others. Uses of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and this requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful receivable, estimated useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets provision for staff benefit, recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. 6 Going Concern The Company’s financial statements are prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and may continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its future business plan. The Company’s operating losses amounted $ 30.95 million, and it had negative operating cash flows amounted $ 28.84 million as of March 31, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has raised funds through issuance of convertible notes and common stock. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its new business strategy and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with the ASC 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, or it is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technological or other industrial changes. The determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is made by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company has adopted FASB ASC Topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques based on observable and unobservable input, which may be used to measure fair value and include the following: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Input other than Level 1 that is observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other input that is observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable input that is supported by little or no market activity and that is significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and short-term investments are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are value using quoted market price. Earnings Per Share Under ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share , basic EPS excludes dilution for Common Stock equivalents and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock outstanding for the period. 7 Diluted EPS is calculated by using the treasury stock method, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Under this method, (i) exercise of options and warrants is assumed at the beginning of the period and shares of Common Stock are assumed to be issued, (ii) the proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase Common Stock at the average market price during the period, and (iii) the incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation. The numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted EPS are presented in the following table. As of March 31, 2025: Income Share Pre-share amount Loss from continued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. $ ( 30,945,404 ) 2,447,084 $ ( 12.65 ) Income from discontinued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. 26,372,056 2,447,084 10.78 Basic EPS: Loss to common stockholders from continuing operations ( 30,945,404 ) 2,447,084 ( 12.65 ) Income available to common stockholders from discontinued operations $ 26,372,056 2,447,084 $ 10.78 Dilutive EPS: Warrants 4,211 - Diluted loss per share is calculated by taking net loss, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share equals basic net loss per share because the effect of securities convertible into common shares is anti-dilutive from continued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. ( 30,945,404 ) 2,451,295 ( 12.65 ) Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net loss, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding from discontinued operations 26,372,056 2,451,295 10.76 As of March 31, 2024: Income Share Pre-share amount Loss from continued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. $ ( 3,972,645 ) 1,986,725 $ ( 1.68 ) Income from discontinued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. 14,282 1,986,725 0.01 Basic EPS: Loss to common stockholders from continuing operations ( 3,972,645 ) 1,986,725 ( 1.68 ) Loss available to common stockholders from discontinued operations $ 14,282 1,986,725 $ 0.01 Dilutive EPS: Warrants 4,211 Diluted loss per share is calculated by taking net loss, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share equals basic net loss per share because the effect of securities convertible into common shares is anti-dilutive from continued operations attributable to Future Fintech Group, Inc. ( 3,972,645 ) 1,990,936 ( 1.68 ) Diluted loss per share is calculated by taking net loss, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding from discontinued operations 14,282 1,990,936 0.01 8 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and with an original maturity of three months or less. Deposits in banks in the PRC are only insured by the government up to RMB 500,000 , in the HK are only insured by the government up to HKD 500,000 , in the United States of America are only insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to USD 250,000 , and are consequently exposed to risk of loss. The Company believes the probability of a bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote. Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets, and is not included in the total cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Receivable and Allowances Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amounts less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for potential bad debts if required. Other receivables, and loan receivables are recognized and carried at the initial amount when occurred less an allowance for any uncollectible amount. We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable impairment losses in our existing receivable. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for expected credit losses resulting from the Company’s customers’ inability to make required payments. The allowances are based on the Company’s regular assessment of various factors, including the credit-worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and contract assets, and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “Bad debt expense” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, we use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. We may also record a general allowance as necessary. Direct write-offs are taken in the period when we have exhausted our efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivable or otherwise evaluate other circumstances that indicate that we should abandon such efforts. The Company has assessed its accounts receivable including credit term and corresponding all its accounts receivables as of March 31, 2025. Bad debt expense was $ 28,369,484 and $ 719,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivables of $ 1.32 million and $ 1.15 million have been outstanding for over 90 days as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Revenue Recognition We apply the five steps defined under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We assess its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. Revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations are divided into separate distinct goods or services. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the goods or services provided. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. 9 We do not make any significant judgment in evaluating when control is transferred. Revenue is recorded net of value-added tax. Revenue recognitions are as follows: Sales of coals, aluminum ingots, sand and steel The Company recognize revenue when the receipt of merchandise is confirmed by the customers, which is the point that the title of the goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue was $ 0.48 million and $ 0.40 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Sales agent services for coals, aluminum ingots, sand and steel For the sale of third-party products where the Company obtains control of the product before transferring it to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amount billed to customers. The Company considers multiple factors when determining whether it obtains control of third-party products, including evaluating if it can establish the price of the product, retains inventory risk for tangible products or has the responsibility for ensuring acceptability of the product. The Company recognizes net revenue from sale of coals and aluminum ingots when no control obtained throughout the transactions. Revenue was nil and $ 0.04 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated; maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Depreciation related to property, plant and equipment used in production is reported in cost of sales, and includes amortized amounts related to capital leases. We estimated that the residual value of the Company’s property and equipment ranges from 3 % to 5 %. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows: Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 years Building 30 years Furniture and office equipment 3 - 5 years Motor vehicles 5 years Intangible Assets Acquired intangible assets are recognized based on their cost to the Company, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the Company’s book. These assets are amortized over their useful lives if the assets are deemed to have a finite life and they are reviewed for impairment by testing for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The fair value of an intangible asset is the amount that would be determined if the entity used the assumptions that market participants would use if they were pricing the intangible asset. The useful life of the Company’s intangible assets is ten year , which is determined by using the time period that an intangible is estimated to contribute directly or indirectly to a Company’s future cash flows. 10 Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency; however, the reporting currency of the Company is the USD. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been translated into USD using the exchange rate at the balance sheet dates, while equity accounts are translated using historical exchange rate. The exchange rate we used to convert RMB to USD was 7.18 :1 and 7.19 :1 at the balance sheet dates of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate revenues and expenses. The average exchange rates we used to convert RMB to USD were 7.18 :1 and 7.10 :1 for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The exchange rate we used to convert HKD to USD was 7.78 :1 and 7.76 :1 at the balance sheet dates of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate revenues and expenses. The average exchange rates we used to convert HKD to USD were 7.78 :1 and 7.82 :1 for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The exchange rate we used to convert GBP to USD was 0.77 :1 and 0.79 :1 at the balance sheet dates of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate revenues and expenses. The average exchange rates we used to convert GBP to USD were 0.79 :1 and 0.79 :1 for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The exchange rate we used to convert AED to USD was 3.66 :1 and 3.65 :1 at the balance sheet dates of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate revenues and expenses. The average exchange rates we used to convert AED to USD were 3.65 :1 and 3.67 :1 for three months ended March 31 2025 and 2024, respectively. Translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in a separate component of equity (cumulative translation adjustment). Government subsidies Government subsidies primarily consist of financial subsidies received from provincial and local governments for operating a business in their jurisdictions and compliance with specific policies promoted by the local governments. For certain government subsidies, there are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to receive such benefits, and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. The government subsidies of operating nature with no further conditions to be met are recorded of operating expenses in “Other income” in the consolidated statements when received. The amendments in this update require disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for the transactions, and (3) the effect of the transactions on an entity’s financial statements. 11 Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740-10-25 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Short-term investments Short-term investments consist primarily of investments in fixed deposits with original maturities between three months and one year and certain investments in wealth management products and other investments that the Company has the intention to redeem within one year. Fair valued or carried at amortized costs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the short-term investments amounted to $ 1,393 and $ 1,391 , respectively. Long-term investments Long-term investments consist primarily of investments in debt investment with original maturities between three years and more. Fair valued or carried at amortized costs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the long-term investments amounted to $ 1.53 million and $ 1.30 , respectively. Due to the Company has received repayment $ 0.24 million (RMB 1,700,000 ) debt investment, the Company did not recognize an impairment. Lease We adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASC 842, from January 1, 2020. We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at lease inception. For operating leases, we recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term on the consolidated balance sheets at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made, net of lease incentives. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases often include options to extend and lease terms include such extended terms when we are reasonably certain to exercise those options. Lease terms also include periods covered by options to terminate the leases when we are reasonably certain not to exercise those options. 12 Share-based compensation The Company awards share options and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants (collectively “share-based payments”). Compensation cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date. The Company recognizes the compensation cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The amount of cost recognized is adjusted to reflect the expected forfeiture prior to vesting. When no future services are required to be performed by the employee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance or market condition, the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date. New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU expands required public entities’ segment disclosures, including disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. ASU 2023 07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in financial statements, unless it is impracticable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2024 and the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective July 1, 2025 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial statements. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 3.

INCOME TAX The Company is incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. The applicable tax rate is 21 % in 2025 and 2024. No provisions for income taxes have been made, as the Company had no U.S. taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had current income tax expenses of nil , respectively. The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the years ended March 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets for certain subsidiaries. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the dividend from foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such determination is not practical. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings attributable to its PRC subsidiaries as they are to be permanently reinvested. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings attributable to its PRC and Hong Kong subsidiaries as they are to be permanently reinvested. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . Since the Company intends to reinvest its earnings to further expand its businesses in mainland China, its PRC subsidiaries do not intend to declare dividends to their immediate foreign holding companies in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any deferred taxes in relation to US tax on the cumulative amount of undistributed retained earnings since January 1, 2008. Effective on January 1, 2008, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, EIT Law, and Implementing Rules imposed a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25 % on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. The tax rate for pre-tax profits below RMB 1 million is 2.5 %; the tax rate for pre-tax profits between RMB 1 million to RMB 3 million is 10 %. E-Commerce Tianjin, Future Supply (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. and Future Big Data (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 2.5 % and 10 %. Other subsidiaries and VIE were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25 %. Future FinTech (HongKong) Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5 % in Hong Kong.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION On March 27, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued shares and its authorized shares of common stock from 60,000,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares. Restricted net assets PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are required to annually appropriate 10 % of their net income to the statutory reserve prior to payment of any dividends, unless the reserve has reached 50 % of their respective registered capital. Furthermore, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are also restricted from distribution. As a result of the restrictions described above and elsewhere under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividends. The restriction amounted to $ 24.54 million (RMB 176,144,932 ) as of March 31, 2025. Except for the above or disclosed elsewhere, there is no other restriction on the use of proceeds generated by the Company’s subsidiaries to satisfy any obligations of the Company. Payments-omnibus equity plan On March 10, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.001 , pursuant to the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Plan, to certain officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Grantees”).

SEGMENT REPORTING In its operation of the business, management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP. The Company operates in three segments starting in fiscal 2021: “supply chain financing service and trading business” and “others”. The Company began to provide supply chain financing services during the second quarter of 2021. The Company began to provide sand and steel supply chain financing services during the first quarter of 2023. The Company began to provide brokerage services in October 2023. 23 Some of our operation might not individually meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and we determine the reportable segments based on the discrete financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment in assessing performance and allocating resources among the segments. Since there is an overlap of services and products between different subsidiaries of the Company, the Company does not allocate operating expenses and assets based on the product segments. Therefore, operating expenses and asset information by segment are not presented. Segment profit represents the gross profit of each reportable segment. As of March 31, 2025: Supply Chain Financing/ Trading Others Total Reportable segment revenue $ 477,792 $ 75,185 $ 552,977 Inter-segment loss - - - Revenue from external customers 477,792 75,185 552,977 Segment gross profit $ 10,199 $ 68,419 $ 78,618 As of March 31, 2024: Supply Chain Financing/ Trading Others Total Reportable segment revenue $ 441,764 $ 237,425 $ 679,189 Inter-segment loss - - - Revenue from external customers 441,764 237,425 679,189 Segment gross profit $ 44,073 $ 231,021 $ 275,094 Loss before Income Tax: Three months Ended, March 31 2025 2024 Supply chain financing/trading ( 130,879 ) 206,216 Others 349,145 138,505 Corporate and Unallocated 30,805,757 3,271,864 Total operating expenses and other expense 31,024,022 3,616,584 Loss before Income Tax ( 30,945,404 ) ( 3,341,490 ) Segment assets: March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Supply chain financing/trading 5,531,148 5,717,948 Others 4,384,938 5,066,369 Corporate and Unallocated 13,724,974 14,521,664 Assets related to discontinued operation - 596,957 Total assets 23,641,060 25,902,938 24 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal case with FT Global Litigation In January 2021, FT Global Capital, Inc. (“FT Global”), a former placement agent of the Company filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia. FT Global served the complaint upon the Company in January 2021. In the complaint, FT Global alleges claims, most of which attempt to hold the Company liable under legal theories that relate back to an alleged breach of an exclusive placement agent agreement between FT Global and the Company in July 2020 which had a term of three months. FT Global claims that the Company failed to compensate FT Global for securities purchase transactions between December 2020 and April 2021, pursuant to the terms of the expired exclusive placement agent agreement. Allegedly, the exclusive placement agent agreement required the Company to pay FT Global for capital received during the term of the agreement and for the 12-month period following the termination of the agreement involving any investors that FT Global introduced and/or wall-crossed to the Company. However, the Company believes the securities purchase transactions at issue did not involve the one investor which FT Global introduced or wall-crossed to the Company during the term of the agreement. FT Global claims approximately $ 7,000,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees. The Company timely removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the (“Court”) on February 9, 2021 based on diversity of jurisdiction. On March 9, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss based on FT Global’s failure to state a claim which is pending before the Court. On November 10, 2021, the Court entered an Order granting the Company’s motion to dismiss FT Global’s fraud claim and breach of contract claim as to the disclosure of its confidential and proprietary information. The Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss FT Global’s i) breach of contract claim for failure to pay FT Global pursuant to the terms of the exclusive placement agent agreement; ii) claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and iii) claim for attorney’s fees, and the court concluded that additional information can be obtained through discovery. The trial began on April 8, 2024 and ended on April 11, 2024, on which date the jury returned a verdict in favor of FT Global. On April 11, 2024, the Court entered a judgment awarding FT Global $ 8,875,265.31 and on April 16, 2024, the Court issued an amended judgment, awarding FT Global $ 10,598,379.93 , which includes $ 7,895,265.31 in damages, $ 1,723,114.62 in prejudgment interest, and $ 980,000.00 in attorney’s fees. On May 9, 2024, the Company filed a post-trial motion to set aside the jury verdict and for a new trial and the Court denied the motion on March 3, 2025. The Company filed notice of appeal to appeal the judgement to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on April 2, 2025. The Company will seek to have the judgment overturned on appeal. The Company’s opening brief in the appeal is due on June 11, 2025. FT Global has registered the Court’s judgment in the United States District Court for Southern District of New York (“NY Court”), where FT Global has brought a motion requiring the Company to turn over its stock in its subsidiary companies. On August 28, 2024, NY Court granted FT Global’s motion for turnover of Defendant’s shares in Defendant’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as Defendant 1) failed to satisfy the $ 10.8 million judgment rendered in the Northern District of Georgia and registered in the Southern District of New York, and 2) is in possession of money and property in which it has an interest. The NY Court ordered Defendant shall turn over the shares, membership, or limited partnership interests in all of its subsidiaries, and the corporate seals of its China and Hong Kong-based subsidiaries, to the U.S. Marshal for auction or sale until the judgment is satisfied. Pursuant to the order issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 28, 2024, the United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York (“U.S. Marshal”) sold the securities of the subsidiaries of the Company other than those in Hong Kong and China in auction of: (i) all of the membership interests in Future Fintech Digital Capital Management LLC; (ii) all of the outstanding shares of FTFT UK Limited; (iii) the corporate seal of DigiPay FinTech Limited; (iv) the corporate seal of GlobalKey SharedMall Limited; (iv) all of the outstanding shares of Future Fintech Labs Inc.; and (v) all of the outstanding shares of Future Fintech Digital Number One GP, LLC (USA) to Alec Orudjiev, the general counsel of FT Global for $ 25,000 on December 18, 2024. On December 6, 2024, the Company agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of FTFT SuperComputing Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“FTFT SuperComputing”) to DDMM Capital LLC (the “Buyer”) for a purchase price that equals to: (i) the assumption of the obligations of FTFT SuperComputing totaling $ 973,072.24 and (ii)$ 1,000,000 , which was paid to an account at Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP to satisfy, in part, the right of payment held by FT Global Capital, Inc. arising from the judgment entered in favor of FT Global and against the Company registered in the Southern District of New York and all matters pertaining to such litigation. The Company has appealed the turnover order of the NY Court for the auction of securities of the subsidiaries of the Company in Hong Kong and China to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and is waiting for the final decision of the Court of Appeals. On February 6, 2025, FT Global filed a motion (“Motion”) in the NY Court, amended on February 12, 2025, seeking a turnover order for 39,825,939 (before 1 for 10 reverse stock split effected by the Company on April 1, 2025) unissued shares of the Company’s common stock for sale to satisfy the judgement. On April 30, 2025, the Company received order from the NY Court to turn over its unissued shares to U.S. Marshal for auction. The transfer agent of the Company has issued 1,951,443 shares of common stock in the name of the United States Marshals Service. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the action against FT Global and has filed notice of appeal to appeal the order of the NY Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 25 Shareholders Lawsuit (LaBelle and Janzen) The LaBelle case is a putative securities class action filed in January 2024 and is pending in the District of New Jersey. Denise LaBelle (“Plaintiff”) alleges that the Company and certain of its officers violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act by making materially false or misleading statements in the company’s public filings and disclosures relating to the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company Mr. Shanchun Huang and charges filed by the SEC against Mr. Shanchun Huang with manipulative trading in the stock of the Company using an offshore account shortly before he became the Company’s CEO in 2020 and failing to disclose his beneficial ownership. Mr. Huang has denied the allegations of trading before he became CEO. Plaintiff claims that these alleged misstatements caused the Company’s stock to trade at artificially inflated prices, harming investors when the truth was revealed. The lead plaintiff and lead counsel were appointed in September 2024. The Company was served in September 2024, and the Plaintiff is currently seeking substituted service on the individual defendants. Once service is resolved, the Plaintiff is expected to file an amended complaint, which the Company and other defendants intend to move to dismiss. The Janzen action is a consolidated shareholder derivative case filed by Jeff Janzen on May 31, 2024, also pending in the District of New Jersey, brought nominally on behalf of Future FinTech. Plaintiff alleges that certain current and former officers and directors breached fiduciary duties by allowing or failing to prevent the same alleged misconduct at issue in LaBelle, including mismanagement and misleading public disclosures. The derivative case has been stayed by stipulation, pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in LaBelle, but plaintiff has reserved the right to participate in mediation and settlement discussions relating to the class action. 20.
