+Added: of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of
+Added: the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
+Added: Based on this evaluation
+Added: of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
+Added: that our disclosure controls and procedures as of such date are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
+Added: The term “disclosure
+Added: controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
+Added: “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to
+Added: be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported
+Added: within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
+Added: Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
+Added: controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the
+Added: Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
+Added: appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
+Added: Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
+Added: how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies
+Added: its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
+Added: Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
+Added: management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
+Added: and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
+Added: Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures designed to provide
+Added: reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting
+Added: purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
+Added: of December 31, 2024, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set
+Added: forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
+Added: Based on this assessment, our management
+Added: identified a material weakness related to the Company’s failure to properly evaluate and apply consolidation accounting
+Added: standards to the investment in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (“BKFC”), whereby BKFC
+Added: should be classified as investment at cost less impairment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the acquisition by the Company on October 15,
+Added: While the Company held a majority equity interest in BKFC throughout 2024, it lost control over BKFC and no longer
+Added: possessed the power to direct the activities or key decisions that most significantly impacted BKFC’s economic performance
+Added: during 2024, as required for consolidation under ASC 810, Consolidation.
+Added: The material weakness arose because the
+Added: Company lacked accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge and experience to perform an assessment on complex
+Added: accounting transactions to ensure that the accounting treatment was appropriately evaluated and accurately reflected in the
+Added: consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Specifically, the Company initially consolidated the results of BKFC in its consolidated
+Added: financial statements without considering that the Company no longer exercised significant influence over BKFC.
+Added: As a result, the
+Added: investment in BKFC should be accounted for as an investment measured at cost less impairment under ASC 321, as of the
+Added: Acquisition Date, rather than consolidating BKFC as a subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements.
+Added: A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
+Added: over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or quarterly
+Added: financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Accordingly, management concluded that the Company’s internal
+Added: control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: Management has initiated remediation efforts
+Added: to address this material weakness, including:
+Added: ● Engaging external subject matter experts to assist with complex
+Added: accounting determinations.
+Added: ● Implementing additional training for finance and accounting
+Added: ● Strengthening documentation and review procedures within
+Added: the financial statement close process.
+Added: Management believes these measures, once fully implemented and tested, will remediate the
+Added: identified material weakness.
+Added: The Company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will report on progress in
+Added: future filings.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
+Added: reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.
+Added: limitations on effectiveness of controls
+Added: control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for
+Added: advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization,
+Added: and personnel factors.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject
+Added: to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
+Added: Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented
+Added: by collusion or improper management override.
+Added: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
+Added: prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process
+Added: and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
+Added: Therefore, even those systems determined
+Added: to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
+Added: Projections of
+Added: any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
+Added: or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
+Added: in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the
+Added: Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
+Added: internal control over financial reporting other than the matter disclosed above.

−Removed: The Company has restated the accompanying consolidated
−Removed: financial statements and related disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2022 that were previously included in the Form 10-K filed
−Removed: with the SEC on April 3, 2023.
−Removed: Restatement Background
−Removed: In June 2021, the Company received the offer from
−Removed: JP Morgan Chase Holdings LLC to purchase all its equity interest in Nutmeg Saving and Investment Limited (“Nutmeg”).
−Removed: Nutmeg is incorporated
−Removed: in the United Kingdom and engaged in the provision of online discretionary investment management services.
−Removed: The cash consideration was
−Removed: approximately $ 187 million (equivalent to approximately GBP 135 million) and fully received in September 2021, resulting in a realized
−Removed: gain of approximately $ 139 million (equivalent to approximately GBP 101 million).
−Removed: As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income
−Removed: tax payable of $ 23 million based on the Hong Kong profit tax rate of 16.5 %.
−Removed: The Company corrected its previous conclusion
−Removed: of provision of income tax liabilities of $ 23 million related to the disposal of Nutmeg.
−Removed: The Company had previously believed that the
−Removed: gain from the sale of Nutmeg should have been taxed at the 16.5 % profit tax rate in Hong Kong during the year of disposal, resulting in
−Removed: a recorded income tax liability of $ 23 million.
−Removed: After reassessing whether income tax should be provided, the Company reviewed that there
−Removed: was an error resulting from the improper application of US tax law and Hong Kong tax law due to the mistaken omission of the consideration
−Removed: of Hong Kong tax law, and came to the conclusion that there should be no income tax applied when selling a long-term investment in Hong
−Removed: The impact of restatement
−Removed: The impact of the accounting errors was a cumulative
−Removed: reduction in the income tax provision of $ 23 million and a cumulative decrease in the accumulated deficit of $ 23 million, and it had no
−Removed: impact on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year
−Removed: ended December 31, 2022.

+Added: publicly traded entity and for AGBA to diversify revenue through Triller Corp’s short form social video app, AI driven content creation,

+Added: On June 28, 2024, the Company, Triller Corp and Yorkville entered into
+Added: the Second A&R SEPA to modify the First A&R SEPA dated April 25, 2024.
+Added: Pursuant to the Second A&R SEPA, Yorkville provides
+Added: to the Company financing in the principal amount of $ 25 million (the “Second Pre-Paid Advance”) in the form of an additional
+Added: convertible promissory note, subject to the same terms in interest charge and maturity under the First Pre-Paid Advance.
+Added: The Second Pre-Paid
+Added: Advance is amounted to 94.0 % of the principal amount to be drawn down.
+Added: Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement dated June
+Added: 28, 2024 (the “Triller Pledge Agreement”), 3,000,000 shares of common stocks of BKFC held by Triller Corp.
+Added: were pledged as
+Added: Yorkville may convert the First Pre-Paid Advance and Second Pre-Paid
+Added: Advance into the common shares at any time after the Merger at a fixed conversion price equal to (i) the principal amount and interests,
+Added: divided by (ii) the determination of the lower of (a) 100 % of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the ten trading
+Added: days preceding the closing date of the Merger (the “Fixed Price”), or (b) 92.5 % of the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 consecutive
+Added: trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination (the “Variable Price”), provided that
+Added: the Variable Price shall not be lower than the Floor Price.
+Added: The “Floor Price”, solely with respect to the Variable Price,
+Added: shall be equal to (i) a price equal to 40 % of the average of the VWAPs during the ten ( 10 ) trading days immediately preceding the closing
+Added: date of the Merger, and (ii) from and after the date of effectiveness of the initial registration statement, 40 % of the VWAP of the trading
+Added: day immediately prior to the date of effectiveness of the initial registration statement, if such price is lower than the price in part
+Added: (i) of this sentence.
+Added: On July 2, 2024, the Company received approximately $ 23.35 million,
+Added: net of approximately $ 0.15 million legal and professional fee as direct issuance costs incurred in arranging the Second A&R SEPA,
+Added: from Yorkville.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in an aggregate of approximately $ 33.51 million
+Added: to Yorkville.
+Added: On June 20, 2025, Yorkville effected a foreclosure under the Triller
+Added: Pledge Agreement.
+Added: Consequently, the Company transferred 3,000,000 shares of common stock of BKFC, previously pledged by Triller Corp.
+Added: as collateral, to Yorkville in June 2025.
+Added: (see Note 26(xi))
+Added: Common Warrants to Yorkville
+Added: Also, pursuant to the First A&R SEPA and Second A&R SEPA, the
+Added: Company issued a warrant (the “Common Warrant”) to Yorkville to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock of the Company
+Added: equal to 25 % of the principal amount of the aggregated pre-paid advances divided by a price equal to the Fixed Price, each such Common
+Added: Warrant with an exercise price equal to the Fixed Price.
+Added: On June 28, 2024, the Company issued 1,431,561 common warrants to Yorkville at
+Added: a fixed exercise price of $ 5.85 per share (see Note 17).
+Added: The Company analyzed the conversion feature of the agreement for derivative
+Added: accounting consideration under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative because
+Added: the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate.
+Added: The Company has determined that the conversion
+Added: feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own shares and is therefore not afforded equity treatment.
+Added: The Company recorded amortization of debt discount and direct issuance
+Added: costs and accrued interest of convertible promissory notes payable in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and
+Added: comprehensive loss of approximately $ 2.2 million and $ 0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
+Added: On November 26, 2024, Yorkville initiated litigation
+Added: against Triller, Triller Corp., Triller Hold Co LLC, and Convoy Global Holdings Limited (“Defendants”) by filing a motion
+Added: for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint pursuant to NY CPLR 3213 (the “Motion”), seeking a judgment finding Defendants
+Added: liable for all amounts allegedly owed under the convertible promissory note, including interest, plus costs, legal fees, and expenses
+Added: incurred by Yorkville (see Note 25).
+Added: As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not repaid
+Added: the amount due and considered default of settlement.
+Added: In connection with the Merger Transaction aforementioned in Note 4,
+Added: the exercise prices for, and the shares underlying, all previously outstanding public warrants (“AGBA Public Warrants”), Class
+Added: A warrants (“AGBA Class A Warrants”), and common warrants (“AGBA Common Warrants”) (collectively, “AGBA
+Added: Warrants”) issued by AGBA were adjusted in accordance with the terms of such warrant instruments to reflect the previously announced
+Added: and implemented 1.9365-to-1 Forward Split and 1-for-4 Reverse Split.
+Added: An equitable adjustment with a combined ratio of 0.5:1 applied to
+Added: the number of AGBA Ordinary Shares issuable on the exercise of each AGBA Warrants and the warrant price.
+Added: Upon the closing, all warrants
+Added: issued by AGBA and Triller Corp.
+Added: were assigned to and assumed by Triller Group (“Triller Group Warrants”).
+Added: Accordingly, as
+Added: of the close of business acquisition on October 15, 2024, each AGBA Public Warrant became one Triller Group Warrant which entitles the
+Added: holder thereof to purchase 0.25 shares of Triller Group Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price of $ 23.00 per whole share (provided,
+Added: however, warrants are not exercisable for fractional shares, only whole shares;
+Added: thereby a warrant holder would need to hold four warrants
+Added: to yield one share).
+Added: Each AGBA Class A Warrant and each AGBA Common Warrant became one Triller Group Warrant which entitles the holder
+Added: thereof to purchase 0.5 shares of Triller Group Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price of two times of the original exercise price
+Added: per whole share (provided, however, warrants are not exercisable for fractional shares, only whole shares;
+Added: thereby a warrant holder would
+Added: need to hold two warrants to yield one share).
+Added: AGBA Public Warrants started trading on a post-adjustment basis as Triller Group Warrants
+Added: on October 16, 2024 under the new ticker symbol “ILLRW”.
+Added: All the warrants and their exercise prices are retroactively restated
+Added: in effect to the forward stock split and reverse stock split (see Note 19).
+Added: The Company has issued different classes of warrants,
+Added: Equity Classified Warrants
+Added: (a) Public Warrants
+Added: Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof
+Added: to purchase one-quarter (1/4) of one share of common stock at a price of $ 23.00 per full share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein.
+Added: Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares.
+Added: This means that only
+Added: an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.
+Added: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
+Added: may call the outstanding warrants (including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Maxim
+Added: Group LLC) for redemption:
+Added: ● in whole and not in part;
+Added: ● at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
+Added: ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption,
+Added: ● if, and only if, the last sales price of the common stock equals
+Added: or exceeds $ 16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before the Company send
+Added: the notice of redemption, and
+Added: ● if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in
+Added: effect with respect to the common stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred
+Added: to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
+Added: If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above,
+Added: the management of the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless
+Added: basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of common stock
+Added: equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference
+Added: between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value.
+Added: market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading
+Added: day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
+Added: Whether the Company will exercise its option
+Added: to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the
+Added: price of its common stock at the time the warrants are called for redemption, the Company’s cash needs at such time and concerns
+Added: regarding dilutive share issuances.
+Added: The public warrants qualify for the derivative
+Added: scope exception under ASC 815 and are therefore presented as a component of stockholders’ (deficit) equity on the consolidated balance
+Added: sheets without subsequent fair value re-measurement.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 4,600,000
+Added: public warrants of Triller Group Warrants outstanding.
+Added: (b) Replacement Warrants
+Added: On October 15, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company
+Added: issued 14,811,260 Triller Group Replacement Warrants to replace Triller Corp.
+Added: Each replacement warrant entitles the holder thereof
+Added: to purchase one share of common stock at a price ranges from approximately $ 0.03 to $ 26.70 per full share, subject to adjustment as discussed
+Added: The replacement warrants may be exercised in full or in part during
+Added: the exercise period from the issue date to 2035.
+Added: The holders will have the option to exercise warrants on a “cashless exercise.”
+Added: In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of shares equal to the quotient
+Added: obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise
+Added: price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value.
+Added: The “fair market value”
+Added: shall mean the volume average reported last sale price of the shares for the 10 trading days prior to the exercise date.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 14,811,260 and nil replacement
+Added: warrants of Replacement Warrants outstanding, respectively.
+Added: Liability Classified Warrants

+Added: of common stock and the associated warrants to purchase up to 734,920 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $ 1.45 per share under
+Added: the private placement, to an institutional investor, a director, officers and employees of the Company.
+Added: The subscribers in private placement
+Added: will receive one Warrant – Class A for every five shares of common stock subscribed.
+Added: Each Warrant – Class A entitles the holder
+Added: to purchase 0.5 share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 2.00 per share and shall be exercised with more than $ 500 ,000 per tranche.
+Added: The warrants will be exercisable six months after the issuance date for a period of five years after the exercise date.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were
+Added: 1,469,840 and nil Warrants - Class A of Triller Group Warrants outstanding, respectively, with aggregate value of approximately $ 1.0

+Added: As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 1,431,561 and nil common
+Added: warrants of Triller Group Warrants outstanding, respectively.
+Added: The Company has accounted for and presented Warrant
