Current report
Our listing readiness and preparatory consulting services business is in an early stage and is subject to regulatory interpretation and execution risks, and our ability to develop this business may be affected by regulatory developments and market conditions.
Current report
We have recently expanded into listing readiness and preparatory consulting services, which are conducted primarily through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong. In certain limited circumstances, these services may also involve our PRC subsidiary, Future Information Service (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. All activities relating to this business have been conducted outside of the United States and are expected to continue to be conducted outside of the United States. These services consist of corporate consulting support to private companies that are evaluating or preparing for a potential public listing, including assistance with internal control readiness, financial reporting preparation, corporate governance structuring, coordination with auditors and legal counsel, general preparatory matters relating to listing readiness, and assistance in completing the proposed offering and listing. Neither we, nor our subsidiaries, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited and Future Information Service (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., engage in underwriting, securities brokerage, placement agent services, or investor solicitation activities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction where we do not hold the required license or registration. Any securities offerings undertaken by our clients are conducted by licensed underwriters, broker-dealers, or other appropriately registered financial institutions retained directly by such clients.
Current report
Although we believe our activities are structured as consulting services and are conducted in a manner intended to avoid requiring securities brokerage or similar licenses, the application of securities laws and related regulations in various jurisdictions may involve fact-specific determinations and regulatory interpretation. If regulatory authorities were to determine that additional licensing, registration, or approvals are required in connection with our activities, we could be required to modify our business model, obtain additional approvals, incur increased compliance costs, or suspend certain services.
Current report
In addition, this business line is in an early stage of development. As of the date of this report, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited and Future Information Service (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. have entered into consulting agreements with a limited number of clients. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the company recognized revenue of $135,605.61. the Company did not recognize any revenue from these services. Client projects remain in preliminary stages, and there can be no assurance that such engagements will progress to completed public listings or generate significant revenue in future periods. Our ability to develop this business will depend on market conditions, client readiness, regulatory developments, and our ability to execute our consulting engagements effectively.
Current report
On January 8, 2026, the Company filed with the Florida Secretary of State’s office Articles of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to amend its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”). As a result of the Amendment, the Company has authorized and approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value. The Company will round up the fractional shares that result from the Reverse Stock Split and no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. The current pre-split number of shares of commons stock outstanding is 20,193,311 and the post-split number of shares outstanding will be approximately 5,048,328. No changes are being made to the number of preferred shares of the Company which remain as 10,000,000 preferred shares as authorized but not issued. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company took effect at 1:00pm E.T. on January 8, 2026.
Current report
We have implemented a reverse stock split to address Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements, and there can be no assurance that our common stock will maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
Current report
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Nasdaq requires, among other things, that listed companies maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. In order to address prior or potential non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split on January 20, 2026. Although the reverse stock split increased the per-share trading price of our common stock, there can be no assurance that the bid price of our common stock will remain at or above the minimum level required by Nasdaq.
Current report
Reverse stock splits do not directly affect the underlying value of a company and are often viewed negatively by the market. The market price of our common stock may decline following the reverse stock split for a variety of reasons, including market perceptions regarding our business, reduced liquidity due to a lower number of shares outstanding, general market conditions, or other factors unrelated to our financial performance. If the bid price of our common stock were to fall below $1.00 per share for an extended period in the future, we could again be subject to deficiency notices, compliance periods, or potential delisting proceedings by Nasdaq.
Current report
A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could materially and adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our securities, limit our ability to raise capital, reduce analyst coverage, and decrease investor confidence. While we intend to monitor our continued compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, we may not be able to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or other listing standards in the future.

FT Global has registered the Court’s judgment in the United States District Court for Southern District of New York (“NY Court”), where FT Global has brought a motion requiring the Company to turn over its stock in its subsidiary companies.

The NY Court ordered Defendant shall turn over the shares, membership, or limited partnership interests in all of its subsidiaries, and the corporate seals of its China and Hong Kong-based subsidiaries, to the U.S. Marshal for auction or sale until the judgment is satisfied.

Previous wording
Mr.Zeyao Xue, indirectly and directly beneficially owns 385,287 shares, or approximately 12.6%, of our outstanding common stock as of April 11, 2025.

This concentrated control could also discourage a potential investor from acquiring the common stock of the Company due to the limited voting power of such shares. As a shareholder, even a controlling shareholder, Mr. Zeyao Xue is entitled to vote his shares, and shares over which he has voting control, in his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our shareholders generally.
