On July 24, 2025, the Board of Directors approved to enter into a non-binding letter of intent to sell 100% of the outstanding shares of HeartCore Japan. The sale of HeartCore Japan represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on the results of operations and has been accounted for as a discontinued operation (see NOTE 12). The sale transaction was closed on October 31, 2025.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HeartCore USA and its subsidiaries. The Company has presented the assets and liabilities of HeartCore Japan and Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and their results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for all periods presented. All footnotes exclude balances and activities of HeartCore Japan and Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless otherwise noted. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by the U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company assesses whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company incurred net loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and net cash flows used in operating activities of continuing operations of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to the macroeconomic downturn environment. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million, working capital of $0.6 million and accumulated deficit of $17.7 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plan is to continue exploring strategic alternatives for raising additional funding for future operations through a combination of obtaining equity financing, entering into debt or other financing arrangements, and restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease expenses to supplement the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s ability to raise capital may be constrained by the price of and demand for the Company’s equity shares. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and could further dilute the Company’s current shareholders. Management cannot conclude as of the date of this report that its plans are probable of being successfully implemented. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, useful life of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, implicit interest rate of operating and finance leases, valuation of investment in warrants, and valuation of derivative liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in Warrants

Investment in warrants represents stock warrants earned from its consulting service customers. The warrants are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in warrants is classified as long-term if the warrants are exercisable over one year after the date of receipt.

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in marketable securities represent equity securities registered for public sale with readily determinable fair value. The marketable securities are obtained through stocks of its customers received as noncash consideration from consulting services and through exercise of stock warrants of its consulting service customers and measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of HeartCore Japan, HeartCore Financial – Japan and Higgs Field is the Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The functional currency of HeartCore USA, HeartCore Financial and Sigmaways is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of Sigmaways B.V. is the Euro (“EUR”). The functional currency of Sigmaways Technologies is the Canada Dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of HeartCore Luvina is the Vietnam Dong (“VND”). 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 unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in the US$. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the periods. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam and nil of gross sales in the United States.

The Company currently generates its revenues from the following main sources:

Revenues from Software Development Services

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application and workflow development. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

Revenues from Consulting Services

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting services contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of stocks and warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

Sales Returns and Allowances

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company determines that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balances were approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts by revenue stream types, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues by revenue stream for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and other receivable. The Company usually does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, customers account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues are as follows:

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, customers account for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable are as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, vendors account for 10% or more of the Company’s purchases from continuing operations are as follows:

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, vendors account for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses are as follows:

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions, assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company (see NOTE 13).

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and Derivative Liability

When the Company issues the Series A convertible preferred shares (see NOTE 10), it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and second evaluates whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of the Series A convertible preferred shares would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, as a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an embedded derivative under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC Topic 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing equity shares that are readily convertible to cash.

The Company assesses the Series A convertible preferred shares as a whole and determines it does not meet the liability classification pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and the Company classifies the host instrument as permanent equity because no features provide for redemption by the holders of the Series A convertible preferred shares or conditional redemption, which is not solely within the Company’s control, and there are no unconditional obligations in that (i) the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares, and (ii) the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares or varying inversely in relation to the Company’s equity shares.

The Company assesses the conversion feature of the Series A convertible preferred shares for derivative accounting consideration and determines it meets the definition of an embedded derivative, which is separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses). The Company values the fair value of derivative liability using the income approach with the discounted cash flow valuation method with the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser. The determination of fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted cash flows and discount rate.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying values of current assets, except for investments in marketable securities, and current liabilities, except for derivative liability, approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized below (also see NOTE 4 for investments):

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations”, a component or a group of components of an entity shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity to be sold; (ii) the entity to be sold is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such entities to be sold; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the entity to be sold have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the entity to be sold is probable and transfer of the entity to be sold is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; (v) the entity to be sold is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. A component or a group of components of an entity classified as held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. If the fair value of the entity to be sold less cost to sell is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized and update each reporting period as appropriate. Assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.

The results of operations of the entity to be sold classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.

The Company assesses the sales of HeartCore Japan and Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and determines they meet the held for sale criteria and the discontinued operations criteria. The assets and liabilities of Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The results of operations of HeartCore Japan and Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. The required disclosures are included in NOTE 12.

NOTE 11 –NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and Series A convertible preferred shares. Potentially dilutive common shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed conversion of share repurchase liability to common shares related to the early exercised stock options and unvested RSUs. Potentially dilutive common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred shares are determined by applying the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive common shares are not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:
