ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer
and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2025.
In reaching this conclusion, management considered the material weakness
in internal control over financial reporting described below, but concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
nevertheless operated effectively at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms..
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time 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 by us in the reports we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily
applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2025, our management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
The material weakness arose because the Company
lacked accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge and experience to perform an assessment on complex accounting transactions
to ensure that the accounting treatment was appropriately evaluated and accurately reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Specifically, the Company initially consolidated the results of BKFC in its consolidated financial statements without considering that
the Company no longer exercised significant influence over BKFC. As a result, the investment in BKFC should be accounted for as an investment
measured at cost less impairment under ASC 321, as of the Acquisition Date, rather than consolidating BKFC as a subsidiary in its consolidated
financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Company’s annual or quarterly financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, management
concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.
112
Management has initiated remediation efforts to
address this material weakness, including:
● Engaging external subject matter experts.
● Implementing additional training for finance personnel.
● Strengthening documentation and review procedures.
● Enhancing consultation and escalation procedures
Management believes these measures, once fully
implemented and tested, will remediate the identified material weakness. The Company will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these
controls and will report on progress in future filings.
Additionally, our independent registered public
accounting firm will not be required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404
until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
Internal control over financial reporting has
inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation
of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal
control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management
override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into
the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide
only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There 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 Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other
than the matter disclosed above.

Executive Compensation
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, we have deployed
an executive compensation program that is consistent with our existing compensation policies and philosophies, which are designed to align
compensation with business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling us to attract, motivate, and retain individuals
who contribute to long-term success. We also note that decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the Remuneration
Committee. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the executive compensation program to be adopted by the
Remuneration Committee. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the Remuneration
Committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion. We anticipate, however, that compensation for the Named Executive
Officers will reflect their current compensation in both form and amount.
Employment Agreements
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement,
we entered into employment agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers and directors.
The Named Executive Officers’ base salaries
is set pursuant to the employment agreements. We anticipate that the salaries of the Named Executive Officers will be reviewed annually
by the Remuneration Committee based upon advice and counsel of its advisors.
Equity-Based Awards
We have granted the equity-based awards to reward
past or long-term performance of the Named Executive Officers and other high-performing employees. We believe that providing a meaningful
portion of the total compensation package in the form of equity-based awards will align the incentives of our executive officers with
the interests of our stockholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual executives. By extending the same incentives to all
of our employees, we believe that we will be able to reward exceptional employees for their contributions to AGBA and promote continued
loyalty. Equity-based awards will be awarded under the Share Award Scheme.
Other Compensation
We continue to maintain various employee benefit
plans, including health and retirement plans, comparable to those already in place in which the Named Executive Officers will participate.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related Party Transaction Policy
On November 10, 2022, our Board adopted a written policy regarding
the review and approval or disapproval by our Audit Committee of transactions between us, or any of our subsidiaries, and any related
person (defined to include our executive officers, directors or director nominees, any stockholder beneficially owning in excess of 5%
of our common stocks or securities exchangeable for our common stock, and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons)
(the “Related Person Transaction Policy”). In reviewing related person transactions, our Audit Committee considers all relevant
facts and circumstances, including the extent of the related person’s direct or indirect interest in the transaction. Any member
of the Audit Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not be permitted to participate in the
deliberations or to vote on the transaction.
Certain related person transactions described
below were consummated prior to our adoption of the formal, written policy described above, and, accordingly, the foregoing policies and
procedures were not followed with respect to these transactions. However, we believe that the terms obtained and consideration that we
paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or amounts that
would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions at such time.
Administrative Services Agreements
TAG Financial Holdings Service Agreements
On June 24, 2021, each of OnePlatform Wealth Management
Limited (“OWM”), OnePlatform International Property Limited (“OIP”), OnePlatform Asset Management Limited (“OAM”),
and Hong Kong Credit Corporation Limited (“HKCC”) entered into separate, but substantially similar, Service Agreements
with TAG Financial Holdings Limited (“TAG Financial Holdings”), a member of the Legacy Group. As the members of the Legacy
Group presently share office space in the AGBA Tower (see “ Information about AGBA — Property ” for additional
information about the office space used by AGBA), TAG Financial Holdings, pursuant to these four agreements, agreed to provide certain
premises and administrative services to each of OWM, OIP, OAM, and HKCC. With respect to premises services, TAG Financial Holdings
agreed to pay for, among other things, building management fees, government rates and rent, office rent, and lease-related interest
and depreciation for OWM, OIP, OAM, and HKCC, subject to reimbursement. With respect to administrative services, TAG Financial Holdings
agreed to pay for, among other things, office consumables, cleaning fees, A/C, electricity, and water for OWM, OIP, OAM, and HKCC, subject
to reimbursement. The service fees are charged in accordance with a standard formula included in each of the contracts, corresponding
to their office space occupancy and employee headcount respectively.
Pursuant to these service agreements and their predecessor arrangements,
AGBA, collectively, paid TAG Financial Holdings approximately $4.7 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively, for premises and administrative expenses.
121
The management of AGBA anticipates that these
Service Agreements will continue after the Business Combination and until either party thereto provides one month written notice of termination,
to ensure continued smooth operation on a stand-alone basis.
OnePlatform Asset Management Limited
Fund Asset Management Service
JFA Capital is a closed-ended investment
vehicle incorporated in the Cayman Islands and a member of the Legacy Group. Upon its incorporation JFA Capital engaged a third-party fund
manager who, in turn, engaged OnePlatform Asset Management (“OAM”) as a sub-manager. On May 7, 2018, JFA Capital and
OAM agreed for JFA Capital to terminate its existing management arrangement and appoint OAM as its sole manager. OAM is licensed by the
Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission under type 1 (Dealing in securities), type 4 (Advising on securities), and type 9 (asset
management). OAM is also a “professional investor” as defined under the Securities and Futures Ordinance of Hong Kong.
OAM, accordingly, provides management of JFA Capital’s
portfolio assets for a management fee and a performance fee, as dictated by the management agreement. The arrangement is non-exclusive, and OAM is permitted
to invest in or advise other investment funds. OAM is also permitted to delegate its functions, powers, and duties to any person, subject
to remaining liable for the actions of its delegate. The term of this management arrangement is indefinite, subject to 90 days’
notice by either party, and the management of AGBA anticipates that OAM will continue to provide fund management services to JFA Capital
following the Business Combination.
In addition to JFA Capital, OAM also provides
management services for other funds, including NSD Capital, a third-party Cayman-incorporated fund. The management of AGBA
anticipate that OAM will continue to provide fund management services to NSD Capital following the Business Combination.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review

whom our Board has determined to be independent pursuant to Nasdaq rules. All of the members of our Audit Committee, Nomination Committee
and Remuneration Committee are independent pursuant to Nasdaq rules.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Triller Group Inc. (formerly AGBA Group Holding Limited)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Triller Group Inc. (formerly AGBA Group Holding Limited) and its subsidiaries. (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows
for the year ended December 31,2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31,2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue
as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
has incurred recurring losses from operations of $174.5 million and net cash outflows from operating activities of $25.9 million and,
as of December 31, 2025, had a working capital deficit of $346.0 million, stockholders’ deficit of $328.1 million and limited cash
resources. In addition, the company has defaulted on certain of its debts obligations, its securities are subject to delisting and it is exposed to legal and regulatory matters
that may require significant cash outflows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F- 2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) related to accounts or disclosures that were material to the consolidated financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter
in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Fair Value Measurement of Long-Term Investments, warrant liabilities,
and convertible debts
As described in Notes 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the company measures certain long-term investments, warrant liabilities, and convertible debts at fair value.
We identified the valuation of these instruments
as a critical audit matter due to the significant estimation uncertainty and judgment in determining fair value, particularly in respect
of: the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies (including market approach and binomial option pricing models), the determination
of key assumptions such as comparable company multiples, discount rates and volatility.
Our principal audit procedures performed to address this critical audit
matter included the following:
●
We assessed the competence, capabilities, and objectivity of management’s independent professional valuer.
●
We evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used, including the market approach for long-term investments and binomial option pricing models for warrant liabilities and convertible debts.
●
We evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions, including selection of comparable companies and market multiples, discount rates, expected volatility and term assumptions used in option pricing models.
●
We performed sensitivity analyses on key assumptions to evaluate the potential impact of changes in those assumptions on the fair value measurements.
●
We assessed the adequacy of the company’s disclosures related to fair value measurements, including the valuation techniques, significant assumptions and estimation uncertainties.

To:
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Triller Group Inc. (formerly AGBA Group Holding Limited)
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Triller Group Inc. (formerly AGBA Group Holding Limited) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’
(deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows in each of the years for the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company incurred substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded
net loss. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit and net cash outflows from operating activities. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

FOR THE YEARS

(Currency expressed

● Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived
assets and right-of-use assets, allowance for expected credit losses, stock-based compensation, fair valuation for long-term
investments, fair value measurement of convertible promissory notes payable, and warrant liabilities, provision for contingent
liabilities, revenue recognition, income tax provision, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position.
The inputs into the management’s judgments
and estimates consider the geopolitical tension, inflationary and high interest rate environment and other macroeconomic factors on the
Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
● Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction
Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency
using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss.
The reporting currency of the Company is US$ and
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, some of the Company’s subsidiaries are
operating in Hong Kong, which maintain their books and record in their local currency, Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is
a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for
consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement , using the exchange
rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses
resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
loss within the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.
Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$ has been
made at the following exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
December 31, 2025
December 31, 2024

● Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure
as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s
business segments.
The Company uses the management approach to determine
reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief
operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s
CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about
allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Based on management’s assessment, the Company determined that it
has three reportable segments, which are Social Media, Sports Streaming, and Financial Services.
● Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of
cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. They consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash
and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities
of these instruments. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in the United States of America and Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not
protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance. However, management does not believe there is a significant
risk of loss.
● Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow
accounts reflecting the restricted cash and cash equivalents maintained in certain bank accounts that are held for the exclusive interest
of the Company’s customers. The Company currently acts as a custodian to manage the assets and investment portfolio on behalf of
its customers under the terms of certain contractual agreements, which the Company does not have the right to use for any purposes, other
than managing the portfolio.
The Company
restricts the use of the assets underlying the funds held in escrow to meet with regulatory or contractual requirements and classifies
the assets as current based on their purpose and availability to fulfill its direct obligation under current liabilities.
● Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net are recorded at the invoiced
amount less any allowance for expected credit losses to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables.
Accounts receivable, net are recorded at the invoiced
amount and do not bear interest, which are due within contractual payment terms.
The Company’s payment terms of accounts
receivable vary by the types of services offered. The normal settlement terms of accounts receivable from insurance companies in the provision
of brokerage agency services are within 30 days upon the execution of the insurance policies. Credit terms with the products providers
of investment, unit and mutual funds and asset portfolio are mainly 90 days or a credit period mutually agreed between the contracting
parties.

FOR THE YEARS

(Currency expressed

For certain services and customers, the Company
requires payment before services are delivered to the customers. Changes in the allowance for expected credit losses are recorded in general
and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. To determine the amount of allowance, the
Company estimates all expected credits losses based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Company seeks to maintain strict control over
its outstanding receivables to minimize credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Management reviews
its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for expected credit losses is adequate and provides allowance when necessary.
The Company does not hold any collateral or other
credit enhancements over its accounts receivable balances.
● Loans and Notes Receivable, net
Loans receivable, net are related to residential
mortgage loans that are carried at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for expected credit losses on loans receivable and charge-offs.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they
are past due 180 days or more as to contractual obligations or when other circumstances indicate that collection is not probable. When
a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income. Payments received on
a nonaccrual loan are either applied to protective advances, the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending
on an assessment of the ability to collect the loan. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments
have been brought current and the loan has performed in accordance with its contractual terms for a reasonable period (generally six months).
If the Company determines that a loan is impaired,
the Company next determines the amount of the impairment. The amount of impairment on collateral dependent loans is charged off within
the given fiscal quarter. Generally the amount of the loan and negative escrow in excess of the appraised value less estimated selling
costs, for the fair value of collateral valuation method, is charged off. For all other loans, impairment is measured as described below
in “Allowance for Expected Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”.
● Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
In accordance with ASC Topic 326, “Credit
Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”), the Company utilizes the
current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model to determine an allowance that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected
credit losses on accounts receivable, loans receivable, notes receivable, and deposits, prepayments and others receivable which is recorded
as a liability to offset the receivables. The CECL model is prepared after considering historical experience, current conditions, and
reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. Accounts receivable, loans and notes receivable,
and deposits, prepayments, and others receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written
off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregated (reversal
of) provision for allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable, loans receivable, notes receivable, and other receivables
was $( 0.4 ) million and $ 2.5 million, respectively.
● Rental Deposit
Rental deposit represents the deposit paid for
the office leases under the long-term lease, less the allowance for expected credit losses, which is presented under the non-current assets
of the consolidated balance sheet based on the expected collection date. The rental deposits is classified to current assets when the
lease contract is expected to be expired less than a year.
● Asset Held For Sale
The Company classifies long-lived assets as held
for sale in the period in which the criteria are met, in accordance with ASC 360, “Property and Equipment” . The Company
ceases depreciation on long-lived assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale and measures them at the lower of carrying value
or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the premises
was approximately $ 0.3 million and recorded as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. This asset was subsequently sold
in January 2026.

● Long-Term Investments, net
The Company invests in equity securities with
readily determinable fair values and equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values.
Equity securities with readily determinable fair
values are carried at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses reported in earnings.
Equity securities that do not have readily determinable
fair values mainly consist of investments in privately-held companies. They are stated at cost less any impairment, plus or minus changes
resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
At each reporting period, the Company makes a
qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment is impaired.
● Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the
following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual
values, if any:
Expected useful life
Building Shorter of 50 years or lease term
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 5 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Motor vehicles 3 years
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment
whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to
be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows,
market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long- lived asset
is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and
fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted
at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.
● Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic360,
“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as property and equipment owned and held
by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its
estimated future undiscounted cashflows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There were
$ 2.8 million and $ 1,009 million impairment losses recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

● Accounts Payable
Accounts payable primarily consists of (i) commission
payable to the Company’s financial advisors for the sale of investment funds, investment products, or insurance products, accruals
for payments of professional services fees and other operating payables and (ii) payable to the suppliers related to talent and influencers
for brand activations and live-event. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity.
● Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value,
net of upfront fees incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
● Convertible Debts, net
The Company accounts for certain convertible debts,
net in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, “ Debt with Conversion and Other Options ” (“ASC 470-20”), whereby
the convertible instrument is initially accounted for as a single unit of account, unless it contains a derivative that must be bifurcated
from the host contract in accordance with ASC Topic 815-15, “ Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives ”
or the substantial premium model in ASC 470-20 applies. Where the substantial premium model applies, the premium is recorded in additional
paid -in capital. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible debts is expected to be outstanding
as additional non-cash interest expenses.
Certain of the Company’s senior convertible
debts are accounted for under the fair value option election in ASC 825 due to difference in its features. Under the fair value option
election, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated
fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value adjustment is presented within other income (expense)
in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company classifies its senior convertible notes and convertible
promissory notes that are being valued under the fair value option election as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data
over fair value inputs, such as the probability weighting of the various scenarios that can impact settlement of the arrangement.
● Warrants
The Company accounts
for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms
and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC
Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial
instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements
for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether
the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control,
among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the
time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Equity-classified
For issued or modified
warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at
the time of issuance. Warrants classified as equity instruments are initially recognized at fair value and are not subsequently remeasured.
The Company accounts for its (i) Public Warrants, and (ii) Replacement Warrants of Triller Group Warrants as equity.
Liability-classified
For issued or modified
warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their
initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants
are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company accounts for
its (i) SPAC Private Warrants, (ii) Common Warrants, and (iii) Warrants – Class A of Triller Group Warrants as liabilities.

Warrants classified
as liabilities are recorded at fair value and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement. Changes in fair value is recognized
as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transaction
costs allocated to warrants that are presented as a liability are immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss.
● Revenue Recognition
The Company receives most of its non-interest
income from contracts with customers, which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.
2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC Topic 606”).
ASC Topic 606 provided the following overview
of how revenue is recognized from the Company’s contracts with customers: The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer
of 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.
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations
in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price –
The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring
promised goods or services to a customer.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract – Any entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on
the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring
a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue
recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time
(typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer service to a customer).
Certain portion of the Company’s income
is derived from contracts with customers, and as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance. The Company’s
revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 606, as follows:
(a) Social Media and Sports Streaming
(i) Advertising Revenue: The
Company’s technology platform provides brands a variety of advertising services including
AI-powered conversations and the augmentation and execution of advertising campaigns. Advertising
revenue is generated from advertisements, either displayed on a device-specific application,
browser or as part of an event. Brand sponsorship revenue is generally recognized as advertisements
are viewed, if on a device-specific application or browser or when events occur with participation
of the sponsor. Revenue from brand sponsorship agreements for which consideration is a fixed
fee is allocated evenly to each event in a series of events over the applicable contractual
service period as the advertisements are displayed, which is typically over a period of less
than one year.

(ii) Subscription Fees: The
Company’s technology platform provides streaming services that acquires content licensing
from various sport and entertainment franchises to provide a content rich environment for
both subscription based and pay-per-view consumption both across a variety of platforms including
mobile phones, tablets, PCs, streaming devices, set-top-boxes and connected TVs. Subscriptions
for streaming services are through third party streaming service providers, examples include
All Elite Wrestling (“AEW”) in the case of Triller TV. Revenue from streaming
subscriptions is recognized ratably over the life of a subscription.
(iii) Pay-per-view Fees: Unlike
subscription fees, the Company’s technology platform, via its streaming service provides
pay-per-view services for premium content and events. Revenue from streaming pay-per-view
events is recognized at the time the event airs.
(iv) SaaS fees: The Company’s
technology platform provides data, analytics and other marketing services to brands and advertising
agencies with access to a data base of profiled Brands and Creators and their associated
audiences, giving them the ability to enlist Creators to develop and share captivating stories
to market their products and services. Our SaaS platform provides our customers a detailed
dashboard to measure all creator driven marketing campaigns as well as a marketplace allowing
e-commerce brands to automate the process of on-boarding creators with per-transaction incentives
for enabling e-commerce transactions. Revenue from SaaS platform subscriptions is recognized
ratably over the life of a subscription.
In arrangements
where another party is involved in providing specified services to a customer, such as a distributor of the Company’s content for
subscription and pay-per-view programming, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the principal or agent in the arrangement. In
this evaluation, the Company considers if the Company obtains control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred
to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily responsible for fulfillment and discretion in establishing price.
For revenue arrangements where the Company is not the principal, the Company recognizes revenue on a net basis. The Company has revenue-share
arrangements where the Company is the principal, such as serving as the provider of content for subscription and pay-per-view programming.
Costs associated with revenue-share arrangements are recognized as part of cost of revenue. The Company determined that it was the principal
for all subscription and pay-per-view arrangements and no revenue was recognized on an agent net basis for the period presented.
The Company generally expenses sales
commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling and
marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(b) Financial Services
(i) Commission income: The Company
earns commissions from the sale of investment products to customers, who are insurance companies
and fund houses. The Company enters into commission agreements with customers which specify
the key terms and conditions of the arrangement. Commissions are separately negotiated for
each transaction and generally do not include rights of return, credits or discounts, rebates,
price protection or other similar privileges, and typically paid on or shortly after the
transaction is completed. Upon the purchase of an investment product by customer, the Company
earns a commission from customers, calculated as a fixed percentage of the investment products
acquired by its customers. The Company defines the “purchase of an investment product”
for its revenue recognition purpose as the time when the customers referred by the Company
has entered into a subscription contract with the relevant product provider and, if required,
the customer has transferred a deposit to an escrow account designated by the Company to
complete the purchase of the investment products. After the contract is established, there
are no significant judgments made when determining the commission price. Therefore, commissions
are recorded at point in time when the investment product is purchased.

The Company also facilitates the arrangement
between insurance providers and individuals or businesses by providing insurance placement services to the insured and is compensated
in the form of commission from the respective insurance providers. The Company primarily facilitates the placement of life, general and
MPF insurance products. The Company determines that insurance providers are the customers.
The Company primarily earns commission
income arising from the facilitation of the placement of an effective insurance policy, which is recognized at a point in time when the
performance obligation has been satisfied upon execution of the insurance policy as the Company has no future or ongoing obligation with
respect to such policies. The commission fee rate, which is paid by the insurance providers, based on the terms specified in the service
contract which are agreed between the Company and insurance providers for each insurance product being facilitated through the Company.
The commission earned is equal to a percentage of the premium paid to the insurance provider. Commission from renewed policies is variable
consideration and is recognized in subsequent periods when the uncertainty around variable consideration is subsequently resolved (e.g.,
when customer renews the policy).
In accordance with ASC Topic 606,
Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations , the Company evaluates the terms in the agreements with its channels and independent
contractors to determine whether or not the Company acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement with each party respectively.
The determination of whether to record the revenue in a gross or net basis depends upon whether the Company has control over the services
prior to transferring it. Control is demonstrated by the Company which is primarily responsible for fulfilling the provision of placement
services through the Company’s licensed insurance brokers to provide agency services. The commissions from insurance providers
are recorded on a gross basis and commission paid to independent contractors or channel costs are recorded as commission expense in the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company also offers the sale solicitation
of real estate property to the final customers and is compensated in the form of commissions from the corresponding property developers
pursuant to the service contracts. Commission income is recognized at a point of time upon the sale contracts of real estate property
is signed and executed.
(ii) Recurring Asset Management
Service Fees: The Company provides asset management services to investment funds or investment
product providers in exchange for recurring asset management service fees. Recurring asset
management service fees are determined based on the types of investment products the Company
distributes and are calculated as a fixed percentage of the fair value of the total investment
of the investment products, calculated daily. These customer contracts require the Company
to provide investment management services, which represents a performance obligation that
the Company satisfies over time. After the contract is established, there are no significant
judgments made when determining the transaction price. As the Company provides these services
throughout the contract term, for the method of calculating recurring asset management service
fees, revenue is calculated on a daily basis over the contract term, quarterly billed and
recognized. Recurring service agreements do not include rights of return, credits or discounts,
rebates, price protection, performance component or other similar privileges and the circumstances
under which the fixed percentage fees, before determined, could be not subject to clawback.
Payment of recurring asset management service fees are normally on a regular basis (typically
monthly or quarterly).
(iii) Loan
Interest Income: The Company offers money lending services from loan origination in form
of mortgage and personal loans. Interest income is recognized monthly in accordance with
their contractual terms and recorded as interest income in the consolidated statement of
operations. The Company does not charge prepayment penalties from its customers. Interest
income on mortgage and personal loans is recognized as it accrued using the effective interest
method. Accrual of interest income on mortgage loans is suspended at the earlier of the time
at which collection of an account becomes doubtful or the account becomes 180 days delinquent.

experience, current information regarding the client, subsequent collection history, and other relevant data, in establishing the allowance
for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses when the Company determines
amounts are no longer collectible.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
there were no revenues recognized relating to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods.
● Operating Expense For Social Media and Streaming Platform
Operating expense for social media
and streaming platform related to the social media application primarily consists of expenses related to talent and influencers for brand

● Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expenses include the costs
of advertising, promotions, seminars, and other programs. In accordance with ASC Topic 720-35, Advertising Costs , advertising
costs are expensed as incurred.
● Comprehensive Loss
ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive (loss) income as
defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, as presented
in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses
on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive (loss) income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
● Employee Benefits
Full time employees of the Hong Kong subsidiaries
participate in a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefit scheme under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund
Schemes Ordinance.
● Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with
the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a comprehensive model
for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC Topic 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more
likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently
be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 % likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with
the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did
not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign
jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax
authorities.
● Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation . The Company grants share awards,
including common stock and restricted share units, to eligible participants. Stock-based compensation expense for share awards is measured
at fair value on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock with either solely a service requirement or with the combination
of service and performance requirements is based on the closing fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based
compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for time-vesting awards and, for awards with a performance condition,
over the requisite service period if the performance condition is probable of achievement. For awards with graded vesting that are subject
only to a service condition, the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award.

(Currency expressed in

● Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ,
basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary stockholders by the weighted average
number of unrestricted common stock outstanding during the year using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income (loss)
is allocated between common stock and other participating securities based on dividends declared (or accumulated) and participating rights
in undistributed earnings as if all the earnings for the reporting period had been distributed. The Company’s holdback shares are
participating securities because they are entitled to non-forfeitable dividends.
Basic loss per common stock is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding and of potential dilutive securities (e.g., convertible
securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later.
Potential common stock that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are
excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.
● Leases
Under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
(“Topic 842”), leases are categorized as operating or financing lease at inception. Lease assets represent the right to use
an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
The Company has recognized right of use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheets for its operating lease agreements with contractual terms greater than 12 months. Lease liabilities are based on the present
value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the discount rate implied in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable,
the present value is calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is estimated to approximate the interest
rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms.
Some of the Company’s lease agreements
contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company has
elected the practical expedient to combine fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together
as a single lease component which increases the amount of ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Leases with a term of twelve months or less upon
the commencement date are considered short-term leases, are not included on the consolidated balance sheets and are expensed on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
● Related Parties
The Company follows the ASC Topic 850-10, Related
Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20, the related parties
include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election
of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method
by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under
the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company
may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one
of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly
influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting
parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully
pursuing its own separate interests.

The financial statements shall include disclosures
of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary
course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements is
not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the
transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements
of operations are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the
financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented
and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from
or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
● Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows the ASC Topic 450-20, Contingencies,
to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result
in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses
such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related
to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates
the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or
expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates
that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability
would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency
is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and
an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally
not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon
information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
● Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic
820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities
that are measured at fair value. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
fair value as follows:
●
Level
1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
●
Level
2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant
inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets
or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using
market-based observable inputs; and
●
Level
3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option
pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial
instruments: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, escrow liabilities, borrowings, and amounts due to stockholder approximate at their fair values
because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market
prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of loans receivable approximates the carrying amount. The Company
accounts for loans receivable at cost, subject to expected credit losses assessment.
The Company measures warrant liabilities, certain
convertible debts for which the fair value option has been elected at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value was estimated using the market approach, based on valuation multiples derived from comparable companies, adjusted for size and risk. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation include market multiples ranging from 0.83 to 10.70 and a discount for lack
of marketability of 12.95 %.
(b) Certain
of the Company’s senior convertible notes and convertible promissory notes are accounted for under the fair value option election
in ASC 825. Under the fair value option election, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value
and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value adjustment
is presented within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value was estimated
using a binomial option pricing model, which incorporates probability-weighted outcomes and considers the contractual terms of the instruments,
including conversion features and settlement scenarios.
The estimated fair value of the convertible debts as of December 31,
2025 was computed using the models and assumptions shown below. A net loss from fair value movements of approximately $ 6.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2025 is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The significant unobservable inputs in the
valuation models as of December 31, 2025, are as follows:
Inputs
Convertible
debts A
Convertible
debts B

Binomial Option Pricing Model

These inputs involve significant judgment and
are subject to estimation uncertainty. Changes in significant assumptions, particularly discount rates, volatility, and comparable company
multiples, could have a material impact on the estimated fair values. The company performed sensitivity analyses on key assumptions, which
indicated that reasonable changes in these inputs could result in materially different fair value measurements.
● Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements
are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company
as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that
are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation
of Income Statement Expenses, which requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to,
purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption
is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating this ASU to
determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01
Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The FASB issued
ASU 2024-03 on November 4, 2024. ASU 2024-03 states that the amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Following the issuance of
ASU 2024-03, the FASB was asked to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends
on December 31 (referred to as non-calendar year-end entities). Because of how the effective date guidance was written, a non-calendar
year-end entity may have concluded that it would be required to initially adopt the disclosure requirements in ASU 2024-03 in an interim
reporting period, rather than in an annual reporting period. The FASB’s intent in the basis for conclusions of ASU 2024-03 is clear
that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Management is currently
evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2025 AND 2024
(Currency expressed in
United States Dollars in thousand (“US$’000”), except for number of shares)
In July 2025, the FASB issued 2025-05 to improve
the measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets. The guidance provides a practical expedient for all entities
to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the assets. The update aims
to reduce the cost and complexity of estimating credit losses while maintaining decision-useful information for financial statement users.
ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption
of this update may have on its financial statements
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use
Software . This update provides amendments to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs incurred to develop or acquire internal-use
software. The amendments address the capitalization of implementation costs by utilizing a principles-based approach and consolidates
website development guidance under Subtopic 350-40. The amendments can be applied prospectively, modified prospectively, or retrospectively
and are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently
evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives
and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification
for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract . This update introduces a scope exception to derivative
accounting for certain contracts with underlyings tied to operations or activities specific to one of the parties. Additionally, the
update clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer should be accounted for under Topic 606 until the right
to receive or retain the consideration becomes unconditional. The amendments can be applied prospectively or modified retrospectively
and are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company expects to early adopt the provisions
related to Topic 815 on a prospective basis and does not expect a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The provisions related to Topic 606 are not applicable.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11,
Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements . This update clarifies the applicability, form and content, and interim
disclosure requirements in ASC Topic 270 and enhances navigability of the interim reporting guidance. The amendments are effective for
interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities and after December
15, 2028, for entities other than public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this ASU
to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12,
“ Codification Improvements ,” which updates the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to clarify, correct errors,
and improve the overall usability of GAAP. The improvements consist of narrow-scope amendments, technical corrections, clarification
of existing guidance, and updates to clarify the appropriate scope and application of certain disclosure requirements. ASU 2025-12 is
effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating
this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements,
there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations and cash flows.
NOTE 3 —
LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets,
and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2025 AND 2024
(Currency expressed in
United States Dollars in thousand (“US$’000”), except for number of shares)
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net loss
of approximately $ 174.5 million and net cash outflows from operating activities of approximately $ 25.9 million. As of December 31, 2025,
the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $ 346.0 million, stockholders’ deficit of approximately $ 328.1 million
and cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $ 2.3 million for working capital purposes.
On December 26, 2025, the Company received a
determination letter from the Panel confirming the suspension trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market effective at the opening of the market
on December 30, 2025 and delisting of the Company’s securities.
The Company is also exposed to legal and regulatory matters, as disclosed
in Note 21, which may result in additional defense and settlement costs. Unfavorable outcomes could further strain the Company’s
liquidity.
As of the date of issuance of these consolidated
financial statements, the Company has not repaid certain short-term loans, TFI Note, exchangeable notes and convertible promissory notes,
all of which are past due and considered in default.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
The management of the Company has developed a
funding plan intended to support the Company’s liquidity and enable it to meet its operating obligations as they fall due. Management
continues to monitor the Company’s capital structure and operating plans and will evaluate available funding alternatives as needed.
Details of the funding plan are as follows:
Fund raising project Target timeline Target amount
PIPE / rights issue April – June 2026 $ 40 million – $ 50 million
Convertible notes September 2026 $ 150 million – $ 200 million
New equity issuance 2027 $ 200 million
Management’s ability to execute its near-term funding plans and
liquidity measures is important to the Company’s continued operation as a going concern. After considering the cash flow forecast,
the funding initiatives under evaluation, management’s ability to defer or restructure certain obligations, and its ability to manage
liquidity closely during the assessment period, management believes that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate. Management
continues to monitor the Company’s liquidity position closely and update this assessment through the issuance of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
However, the Company cannot predict the exact
amount or timing of the alternatives or guarantee those alternatives will be favorable to its stockholders. Any failure to obtain financing
when required will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, operation and financial result.
On March 24, 2026, pursuant to the Company’s
appeal, the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) modified a prior determination
to delist the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market and suspend trading effective December 30, 2025. The Listing Council
determined that (i) if the Company fails to file its 2025 Form 10-K by March 31, 2026, or within the extension period permitted under
SEC Rule 12b-25, its securities will be immediately delisted without further appeal, and (ii) if the filing is made within such timeframe,
trading will resume on the next trading day, subject to timely notification to Nasdaq.
As of the date of issuance of these consolidated
financial statements, the Company has filed its 2025 Form 10-K by April 15, 2026 to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements,
resume trading of its securities, and proceed with its funding plans.
NOTE 4 —
SEGMENT INFORMATION
By assessing the qualitative and quantitative criteria established
by ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” , management has determined that the Company has four reportable segments, which
include the Company’s social media, sports streaming, and financial services segments. The Company’s reportable segments reflect
how the Company’s operations are managed, how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer , who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(“CODM”), allocates resources and evaluates performance, and how the Company’s internal financial reporting is structured.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s
reportable segments comprised of the following:
1.
Social media
The Social Media segment consists of the Company’s
operations related to its social media platform and related services for content creation and distribution.
2.
Sports streaming
The online streaming segment consists of the Company’s
operations related to its online streaming services.
3.
Financial services
The Financial Services segment consists of revenues
and costs incurred from the sale of investment products, offer asset management services and money lending services.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic
business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business unit requires different
technology and marketing strategies.

The Company generally conducts its business with
creditworthy third parties. The Company determines, on a quarterly basis, the probable losses and an allowance for expected credit losses
determined in accordance with the CECL model, based on historical losses, current economic conditions, forecasted future economic and
market considerations, and in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss. Accounts receivable are written off
by $ 1.76 million after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. In addition, receivable balances
are monitored on an ongoing basis and its exposure to bad debts is not significant.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company has assessed the probable loss and made a provision for allowance for expected credit losses of $0.0 and $ 0.9 million on
accounts receivable, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has written
off accounts receivable of $ 1.5 million and $0 , respectively against the allowance for expected credit losses as they were determined
to be uncollectible.

The interest rates on loans issued ranged between 10.00 % and 10.50 %
(2024: 10.00 % to 10.50 %) per annum for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Mortgage loans are secured by collateral in the pledge
of the underlying residential properties owned by the borrowers. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recovered its loan
receivables through the sale of collateralized assets, resulting in a loss of debt recovery of $ 0.15 million, as the disposal proceeds
were lower than the outstanding loan receivable.
Mortgage loans are made to either business or
individual customers in Hong Kong for a period of 1 to 25 years, which are fully collateralized and closely monitored for counterparty
creditworthiness, with such collateral having a fair value in excess of the carrying amount of the loans as of December 31, 2025 and
2024.

Estimated allowance for expected credit losses
is determined on quarterly basis, in accordance with the CECL model, for general credit risk of the overall portfolio, which is relied
on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical loss experience, loan balance aging and prevailing economic
conditions. If there is an unexpected deterioration of a customer’s financial condition or an unexpected change in economic conditions,
including macroeconomic events, the Company will assess the need to adjust the allowance for expected credit losses. Any such resulting
adjustments would affect earnings in the period that adjustments are made.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company has assessed the probable loss and made a provision for allowance for expected credit losses of $ 0 and $ 0.04 million, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company has written off $ 0.04 million and $ 0 loans receivables, respectively due to uncollectible as assessed by the management.

Investments in Marketable Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities, such as, marketable
securities, are accounted for at its current market value with the changes in fair value recognized in net gain (loss). Investment C
was listed and publicly traded on Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities
Investments in non-marketable equity securities
consist of investments in limited liability companies in which the Company’s interests are deemed minor and long-term, strategic
investments in companies that are in various stages of development, and investments in a close-ended partnership funds which concentrated
in the healthcare sector. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values and, therefore, are reported at cost, minus
impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar
investment of the same issuer.
Management assesses each of these investments on an individual basis,
subject to a periodic impairment review and considers qualitative and quantitative factors including the investee’s financial condition,
the business outlook for its products and technology, its projected results and cash flow, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition
of the investment, the likelihood of obtaining subsequent rounds of financing and cash usage. The Company is not required to determine
the fair value of these investments unless impairment indicators existed. When an impairment exists, the investment will be written down
to its fair value by recording the corresponding charge as a component of other income (expense), net. Fair value is determined by an
independent valuer using the market-based approach, utilizing observable inputs, including relevant market data and comparable market
transactions.

premium, plus unpaid accrued interest as of the date of such repayment. In the event that the Company fails to pay any amount due under

Convertible Promissory
Note - Yorkville
On April 25, 2024, the Company entered into an
amended and restated standby equity purchase agreement (the “First A&R SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt
limited partnership (“Yorkville”), and Triller Corp.
In connection with the A&R SEPA, Yorkville
agreed to an advance to the Triller Corp in the form of convertible promissory notes in a principal amount up to approximately $ 8.51
million (the “First Pre-Paid Advance”). The First Pre-Paid Advance amounted to 94.0 % of the principal amount to be drawn
down. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance at an annual rate of 5 %, subject to an increase to 18 % upon an event of default
as described in the agreement. The maturity date is 12 months after its issuance date.
On June 28, 2024, the Company, Triller Corp and
Yorkville entered into the Second A&R SEPA to modify the First A&R SEPA dated April 25, 2024. Pursuant to the Second A&R
SEPA, Yorkville provides to the Company financing in the principal amount of $ 25 million (the “Second Pre-Paid Advance”)
in the form of an additional convertible promissory note, subject to the same terms in interest charge and maturity under the First Pre-Paid
Advance. The Second Pre-Paid Advance amounted to 94.0 % of the principal amount to be drawn down.
Yorkville may convert the First Pre-Paid Advance
and Second Pre-Paid Advance into the common shares at any time after the Merger at a fixed conversion price equal to (i) the principal
amount and interests, divided by (ii) the determination of the lower of (a) 100 % of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)
during the ten trading days preceding the closing date of the Merger (the “Fixed Price”), or (b) 92.5 % of the lowest daily
VWAP during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination (the “Variable
Price”), provided that the Variable Price shall not be lower than the Floor Price. The “Floor Price”, solely with respect
to the Variable Price, 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 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 day immediately prior to the date of effectiveness of the initial registration statement, if such price is
lower than the price in part (i) of this sentence.
On July 2, 2024, the Company received approximately
$ 23.35 million, net of approximately $ 0.15 million legal and professional fee as direct issuance costs incurred in arranging the Second
A&R SEPA, from Yorkville.
On June 20, 2025, Yorkville effected a foreclosure
under the Triller Pledge Agreement. This action was undertaken by Yorkville following its allegations of various events of default by
the Company under the terms of the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note, dated June 28, 2024, and other related transaction documents,
including the Second A&R SEPA. Yorkville had previously sought to accelerate payment of all amounts due under the Yorkville Convertible
Promissory Note. Although the Company has not received a formal notice of foreclosure from Yorkville, the Company became aware through
a transfer agent statement that 3,000,000 shares of common stock of BKFC, previously pledged by Triller Hold Co LLC as collateral, were
transferred to Yorkville on June 20, 2025. These 3,000,000 shares represented a 17.66 % ownership interest in BKFC as specifically pledged
to Yorkville as of June 20, 2025. As a direct result of this transfer, the Company’s beneficial ownership in BKFC became 38.13 %,
based on BKFC’s total outstanding common shares. Following this change in ownership, the majority stockholders of BKFC approved
amendments to BKFC’s certificate of incorporation and its Stockholders Agreement, which included the removal of the Company’s
board designation rights. These amendments became effective on July 1, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued convertible promissory
notes in an aggregate of approximately $ 36.3 million and $ 32.6 million to Yorkville, respectively.

Common Warrants to Yorkville
Also, pursuant to the First A&R SEPA and
Second A&R SEPA, the Company issued a warrant (the “Common Warrant”) to Yorkville to purchase up to a number of shares
of common stock of the Company 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 Warrant with an exercise price equal to the Fixed Price. On June 28, 2024, the Company issued 1,431,561
common warrants to Yorkville at a fixed exercise price of $ 5.85 per share (see Note 13).
The Company analyzed the conversion feature of
the agreement for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815 and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified
as a derivative because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate. The Company has determined
that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own shares and is therefore not afforded equity
treatment.
The Company recorded amortization of debt discount
and direct issuance costs and accrued interest of convertible promissory notes payable in interest expense in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss of approximately $ 2.06 million and $ 1.68 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company recorded amortization of debt discount
and direct issuance costs and accrued interest of convertible promissory notes payable in interest expense in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss of approximately $ 2.2 million and $ 0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
On November 26, 2024, Yorkville initiated litigation
against Triller, Triller Corp., Triller Hold Co LLC, and Convoy Global Holdings Limited (“Defendants”) by filing a motion
for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint pursuant to NY CPLR 3213 (the “Motion”), seeking a judgment finding Defendants
liable for all amounts allegedly owed under the convertible promissory note, including interest, plus costs, legal fees, and expenses
incurred by Yorkville (see Note 21). As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not repaid
the amount due and considered default of settlement.
NOTE 13 — WARRANTS
In connection with the merger transaction completed
on October 15, 2024, the exercise prices for, and the shares underlying, all previously outstanding public warrants (“AGBA Public
Warrants”), Class A warrants (“AGBA Class A Warrants”), and common warrants (“AGBA Common Warrants”) (collectively,
“AGBA Warrants”) issued by AGBA were adjusted in accordance with the terms of such warrant instruments to reflect the previously
announced and implemented 1.9365-to-1 Forward Split and 1-for-4 Reverse Split . An equitable adjustment with a combined ratio of 0.5:1
applied to the number of AGBA Ordinary Shares issuable on the exercise of each AGBA Warrants and the warrant price. Upon the closing,
all warrants issued by AGBA and Triller Corp. were assigned to and assumed by Triller Group (“Triller Group Warrants”). Accordingly,
as of the close of business acquisition on October 15, 2024, each AGBA Public Warrant and each AGBA SPAC Private Warrant became one Triller
Group Warrant which entitles the holder thereof to purchase 0.25 shares of Triller Group Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price of
$ 23.00 per whole share (provided, however, warrants are not exercisable for fractional shares, only whole shares; thereby a warrant holder
would need to hold four warrants to yield one share). Each AGBA Class A Warrant and each AGBA Common Warrant became one Triller Group
Warrant which entitles the holder thereof to purchase 0.5 shares of Triller Group Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price of two times
of the original exercise price per whole share (provided, however, warrants are not exercisable for fractional shares, only whole shares;
thereby a warrant holder would need to hold two warrants to yield one share). AGBA Public Warrants started trading on a post-adjustment
basis as Triller Group Warrants on October 16, 2024 under the new ticker symbol “ILLRW”. All the warrants and their exercise
prices are retroactively restated in effect to the forward stock split and reverse stock split (see Note 15).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER

(Currency expressed in
United States Dollars in thousand (“US$’000”), except for number of shares)
The Company has issued different classes of warrants,
as follows:
Equity Classified Warrants
(a)
Public Warrants
Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof
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.
Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. This means that only
an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
may call the outstanding warrants (including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Maxim
Group LLC) for redemption:
●
in whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption,
● if, and only if, the last sales price of the common stock equals 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 the notice of redemption, and
●
if, and only if, there
is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the common stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption
and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption
as described above, the management of the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so
on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that
number of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of common stock underlying the warrants,
multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y)
the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the
10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
Whether the Company will exercise its option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will
depend on a variety of factors including the price of its common stock at the time the warrants are called for redemption, the Company’s
cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.
The public warrants qualify for the derivative
scope exception under ASC 815 and are therefore presented as a component of stockholders’ (deficit) equity on the consolidated
balance sheets without subsequent fair value re-measurement.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were
4,600,000 and 4,600,000 public warrants of Triller Group Warrants outstanding.
(b)
Replacement Warrants
On October 15, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
the Company issued 14,811,260 Triller Group Replacement Warrants to replace Triller Corp. warrants. Each replacement warrant entitles
the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price range from approximately $ 0.03 to $ 26.70 per full share, subject
to adjustment as discussed herein.
The replacement warrants may be exercised in
full or in part during the exercise period from the issue date to 2028. The holders will have the option to exercise warrants on a “cashless
exercise.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference
between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The
“fair market value” shall mean the volume average reported last sale price of the shares for the 10 trading days prior to
the exercise date.

(b) Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist
of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and notes receivables. Cash equivalents are maintained with
high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. As of December 31, 2025,
the Company maintained a total of approximately $ 12.6 million at financial institutions, consisting of approximately $ 12.1 million held
in Hong Kong, including a cash balance of approximately $ 1.8 million and escrow funds of approximately $ 10.3 million, of which approximately
$ 11.6 million was subject to credit risk, and approximately $ 0.2 million in cash held in the United States. These balances are protected
by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board, which provides coverage up to a limit of HK$ 0.8 million (approximately $ 0.1 million) if the
bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails, effective from October 1, 2024, and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) in the United States. While management considers these financial institutions to be of high credit quality,
it continuously monitors their creditworthiness.
For accounts receivable and loans and notes receivables,
the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up an allowance for expected credit losses based on the estimated
realizable value. Credit of money lending business is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company uses internally-assigned risk grades
to estimate the capability of borrowers to repay the contractual obligations of their loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s
internal risk grade system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans and the assessment of borrower credit quality, such as,
credit risk scores, collateral and collection history. Individual credit scores are assessed by credit bureau, such as TransUnion. Internal
risk grade ratings reflect the credit quality of the borrower, as well as the value of collateral held as security. To minimize credit
risk, the Company requires collateral arrangements to all mortgage loans and has policies and procedures for validating the reasonableness
of the collateral valuations on a regular basis. Management believes that these policies effectively manage the credit risk from advances.

(Currency expressed in

(c) Economic and political risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted
in Hong Kong and the United States of America. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Hong Kong and the United
States of America, as well as the general state of their economies may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and
Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States,
have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions
on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current
exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable
periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of HKD converted
to US$ and Sterling on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without
notice.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company recorded the foreign exchange gain of approximately $2.4 million and loss of $ 0.70 million, respectively, mainly attributable
from the long-term investments which are mostly denominated in Sterling.
(e) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will
not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash
to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections.
If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases.

On June 30, 2025, the Company received a written
notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq, notifying that the Company had publicly traded under $ 1.00 per share for a period of 30
consecutive trading days or more, which failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The
Notice had no immediate effect but, before December 29, 2025, the Company was required to regain compliance by trading at least $ 1.00
per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. Otherwise, after the date, subject to other requirements and conditions, the
Company may proceed to delisting procedures. As of the date of the consolidated financial statements, the Company is still consecutively
trading under $ 1.00 , directors of the Company are investigating actions, where appropriate, to regain the compliance, by December 29,
2025.
On October 14, 2025, the Company received a delisting
determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing
before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s common stock would be subject to suspension and delisting
from the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on October 23, 2025 due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s
filing requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) for its failure to timely file its Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2024, and its Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The
Company has requested to appeal the delisting
determination and will attend the hearing to demonstrate its ability to regain and sustain long-term compliance.
On November 17, 2025, the Company received an
additional delisting determination letter (the “Additional Determination Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that since it failed
to timely file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, this serves as an additional basis for delisting.
Following a hearing held on November 25, 2025,
the Panel has granted the Company an exception period subject to the Company satisfying the following conditions:
● File 2024 Form 10-K and delinquent Forms 10-Q for the quarters
ended June 30, June 30, and September 30, 2025 on or before December 24, 2025;
● Regain compliance with the $ 1.00 minimum bid-price requirement
on or before February 27, 2026; and
● File its 2025 Form 10-K on or before June 30, 2026.
On December 26, 2025, the Company received a determination
letter from the Panel confirming the suspension trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market effective at the opening of the market on December
30, 2025 and delisting of the Company’s securities. This decision stems from the Company not having been able to file two periodic
reports by a deadline of December 24, 2025 set by the Panel.
Subsequent on January 26, 2026, the Company filed
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025. On January 27,

Subsequently on March 14, 2025, SLS issued a
termination notice to terminate the agreement due to the Company’s failure to complete the transaction. On April 21, 2025, the
Company and SLS entered into a settlement agreement under which the Company is obligated to pay SLS a settlement amount of SGD 1,850,000
(equivalent to $ 1.4 million) on or before August 31, 2025. In addition, SLS has claimed further damages of SGD 100,000 (equivalent to
$ 0.07 million) arising from the Company’s breach of its obligations under the agreement. Both the settlement amount and the additional
damages claim bear interest at a rate of 5.33 % per annum, accruing from March 5, 2025, until the date of full payment.
Legal Matters and Other Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to various
claims and legal proceedings incident to the operation of its business. For example, the Company is currently involved in proceedings
brought by music companies relating to the payment of royalties for music used on its platform, employment and related matters, consumer
class actions and suits alleging, among other things, violations of state consumer protection or privacy laws, and contractual disputes
over representations and warranties and post-closing obligations associated with business acquisitions.
In addition, third parties have from time to
time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that the Company has infringed their intellectual property rights. The Company is subject
to intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement claims, and management expects that it will continue to be subject to
intellectual property infringement claims as its services expand in scope and complexity. The Company is not presently involved in any
patent infringement and other intellectual property-related lawsuits. The Company may also become more vulnerable to third-party claims
as laws such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act are interpreted by the courts, and the Company becomes subject to laws in jurisdictions
where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries are either unclear or less favorable. Management
believes that additional lawsuits alleging that the Company has violated patent, copyright or trademark laws may be filed against it.
Intellectual property claims, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming and often costly to resolve, could require expensive changes
in the Company’s methods of doing business or the goods it sells, or could require the Company to enter into costly royalty or
licensing agreements.
The Company is also subject to consumer claims
or lawsuits relating to alleged violations of consumer protection or privacy rights and statutes, some of which could involve potentially
substantial claims for damages, including statutory or punitive damages. Consumer and privacy-related claims or lawsuits, whether meritorious
or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs
of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, or require the Company to change its business practices, sometimes in expensive
ways.
The Company is also subject to, or in the future
may become subject to, a variety of regulatory inquiries, audits, and investigations across the jurisdictions where it conducts business,
including, for example, inquiries related to consumer protection, employment matters and/or hiring practices, marketing practices, tax,
unclaimed property and privacy rules and regulations. Any regulatory actions against the Company, whether meritorious or not, could be
time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, fines and penalties, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business
through adverse judgment or settlement, require the Company to change its business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts
of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, materially damage its brand or reputation, or otherwise
harm its business.
Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations,
settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.
The Company establishes an accrued liability
for loss contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters when the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Those accruals
represent management’s best estimate of probable losses and, in such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amounts
accrued. For certain of the matters described above, there are inherent and significant uncertainties based on, among other factors,
the stage of the proceedings, developments in the applicable facts of law, or the lack of a specific damage claim.
The Company’s accrued liabilities for loss
contingencies related to legal and regulatory matters may change in the future as a result of new developments, including, but not limited
to, the occurrence of new legal matters, changes in the law or regulatory environment, adverse or favorable rulings, newly discovered
facts relevant to the matter, or changes in the strategy for the matter. Regardless of the outcome, litigation and other regulatory matters
can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

YA II PN, LTD. v. Triller
Group Inc.; Triller Corp.; Triller Hold Co LLC; Convoy Global Holdings Limited, Index No. 659314/2024 in the New York Supreme Court,
Commercial Division
On November 26, 2024, Yorkville (“Plaintiff”)
initiated litigation against the Company, Triller Corp., Triller Hold Co LLC, and Convoy Global Holdings Limited (“Defendants”)
by filing a motion for summary judgment in lieu of a complaint pursuant to NY CPLR 3213 (the “Motion”), seeking a judgment
finding Defendants liable for all amounts allegedly owed under the convertible promissory note (the “Note”), dated June 28,
2024, including interest, plus costs, legal fees, and expenses incurred by Yorkville in enforcing the Note’s terms. On February
24, 2025, Defendants filed their opposition to the Motion, arguing that the Motion should be denied because Plaintiff’s reliance
on CPLR 3213 was improper and because, even if Plaintiff’s reliance on CPLR 3213 were proper, triable disputes of fact preclude
summary judgment in Plaintiff’s favor. On March 7, 2025, Plaintiff filed a reply in support of the Motion. On May 19, 2025, Yorkville’s
initial motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint, seeking immediate payment, was denied by the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, New York County. The court determined that Yorkville’s right to payment depended on a detailed analysis of obligations
under multiple intertwined documents, including the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note, Second A&R SEPA, Registration Rights Agreement,
and Pledge Agreements, thus converting the case to a plenary action. Yorkville filed a notice of appeal on May 28, 2025 and a new motion
for summary judgment on July 1, 2025, asserting the Yorkville Convertible Promissory Note’s maturity date of June 28, 2025 (the
“Maturity Date”).
On June 20, 2025, the Company transferred 3,000,000
shares of common stock of BKFC, previously pledged by Triller Hold Co LLC as collateral pursuant to the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement,
dated June 28, 2024, between Triller Hold Co LLC and Yorkville, as partial repayment. The case does not have a trial date set. Defendants
intend to litigate the case until a resolution is reached.
On December 3, 2025, the Plaintiff filed responses
and objections (the “Responses and Objections”) to the Defendants’ first set of interrogatories dated November 3, 2025
to the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York (Index no.: 659314/2024). Pursuant to the Responses and Objections,
the Plaintiff stated its claims and contentions with respect to its damage resulting from the event of default that occurred under the
Note when the Defendants failed to pay all amounts due by the Maturity Date. The total amount owed under the Note, including interest,
plus costs, legal fees, and expenses incurred by Yorkville less the value of BKFC’s shares is approximately $ 38.1 million. Yorkville
further stated that it continues to accrue additional damages with each passing day that the obligations under the Note and guaranties
remain unpaid. The case is on-going and legal counsel of the Company will continue to handle this matter. At this stage in the proceedings,
it is unable to determine the probability of the outcome of the matter or the range of reasonable possible loss, if any.

submitted a Notice of Arbitration and Demand for Arbitration (“13080 Arbitration Demand”) to JAMS to assert that Triller

Robert E. Diamond Jr.et
al. v. Triller Group, Inc., Case No. 25-cv-00129 (PAE) (S.D.N.Y.)
On January 7, 2025, Robert E. Diamond Jr (“Diamond”),
the former chairman of Triller’s board of directors and Atlas Merchant Capital LLC (collectively as “Plaintiffs”),
an advisory services company under Diamond’s control filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Manhattan, New York to allege

and over 6.0 million shares of Triller’s common stock. On February 28, 2025, Triller filed a partial motion to dismiss the scope
of Plaintiffs’ claims. This motion is now pending before the court. The case is on-going and legal counsel of the Company will

matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

— SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “ Subsequent
Events ”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before the consolidated financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after
December 31, 2025, up to the date that the audited consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
In March 2026, the Company issued an aggregate
of 200,000 shares of common stock to the employees of the Company under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.
On March 24, 2026, pursuant to an appeal by the Company, the Listing
Council modified a determination entered on December 26, 2025 by the Panel to delist the securities of the Company from Nasdaq and suspend
trading of the Company’s shares, effective at the opening of trading on December 30, 2025.
Specifically, the Listing Council modified the
decision of the Panel as follows:
(1) If the Company fails to make its 2025 Form 10-K filing by
March 31, 2026, or within the additional period of time allowed by SEC Rule 12b-25, then the Company’s securities will be delisted
immediately from Nasdaq. Such delisting would have the same effect as if the Listing Council had affirmed the Panel Delisting Decision.
Therefore, such delisting would not be subject to further appeal to, or review by, the Listing Council.
(2) If the Company files its 2025 Form 10-K filing by March 31,
2026, or within the additional period of time allowed by SEC Rule 12b-25, then the Company’s securities will resume trading on
the Exchange on the following trading day. It will be the responsibility of the Company to notify Staff in a timely manner of having
made its 2025 Form 10-K filing, so Nasdaq Staff can facilitate the resumption of trading in the Company’s securities in the Exchange.
