NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (“HeartCore USA”), a holding company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 18, 2021.

On July 16, 2021, HeartCore USA executed a share exchange agreement with certain shareholders of HeartCore Co., Ltd. (“HeartCore Japan”), a company that was incorporated in Japan on June 12, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, HeartCore USA issued 15,999,994 shares of its common shares to the shareholders of HeartCore Japan in exchange for 10,706 shares out of 10,984 shares of common shares issued by HeartCore Japan, representing approximately 97.5% of HeartCore Japan’s outstanding common shares. On February 24, 2022, HeartCore USA purchased the remaining 278 shares of common shares of HeartCore Japan. As a result, HeartCore Japan became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of HeartCore USA.

The share exchange on July 16, 2021 has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled these two entities before and after the transaction. The consolidation of HeartCore USA and its subsidiary has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the transaction had become effective as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

HeartCore USA, via its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, HeartCore Japan, is mainly engaged in the business of developing and sales of comprehensive software. Beginning from early 2022, HeartCore USA is engaged in the business of providing consulting services to Japanese companies with intention to go public in the United States capital market.

On September 6, 2022, HeartCore USA entered into a share exchange and purchase agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, Inc. (“Sigmaways”), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 2006, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sigmaways B.V. and Sigmaways Technologies Ltd. (“Sigmaways Technologies”). Sigmaways B.V. was incorporated in Netherlands in November 2019. Sigmaways Technologies was incorporated in Canada in August 2020. Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of providing software development and other services in the United States. The acquisition was closed on February 1, 2023.

In January 2023, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, HeartCore Financial, Inc. (“HeartCore Financial”), under the laws of the State of Delaware. HeartCore Financial is engaged in the business of providing consulting services.

In November 2023, HeartCore Japan established a 51% owned subsidiary in Vietnam, HeartCore Luvina Vietnam Company Limited (“HeartCore Luvina”), which is engaged in the business of providing software development and other services. HeartCore Luvina started its operations from February 2024. In October 2025, HeartCore Japan transferred 51% of the outstanding shares of HeartCore Luvina to HeartCore USA.

In April 2024, HeartCore Financial incorporated a branch office, HeartCore Financial, Inc. – Japan Branch Office (“HeartCore Financial – Japan”), in Japan. HeartCore Financial – Japan is engaged in the business of providing consulting services.

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 16). The sale transaction was closed on October 31, 2025.

In October 2025, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Higgs Field Co., Ltd. (“Higgs Field”), in Japan. Higgs Field is engaged in the business of providing business and management consulting services.

HeartCore USA, HeartCore Japan, Sigmaways, Sigmaways B.V., Sigmaways Technologies, HeartCore Financial, HeartCore Luvina, HeartCore Financial – Japan and Higgs Field are hereafter referred to as the “Company” unless specific reference is made to an entity.

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 the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has presented the results of operations and cash flows of HeartCore Japan as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for all periods presented. All footnotes exclude activities of HeartCore Japan 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million and net cash flows used in operating activities of continuing operations of $1.2 million, primarily due to the macroeconomic downturn environment. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million, working capital of $1.0 million and accumulated deficit of $15.6 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.

F-6

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 months ended March 31, 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 loss.

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. 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.

F-7

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, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands 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 Customized Software Development and Services

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

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.

F-8

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 factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. 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 three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balances were approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES

	2026		2025
	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Revenues from software development services	$	206,751	$	7,089
Revenues from customized software development and services		1,013,346		1,840,781
Revenues from consulting services		25,747		245,543
Total revenues	$	1,245,844	$	2,093,413

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, note 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 months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, customers account for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues are as follows:

	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Customer A		32.0	%		32.1	%
Customer B		16.6	%		-*
Customer C		13.7	%		12.4	%
Customer D		11.3	%		10.3	%
Customer E		-*			10.4	%

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

	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025
Customer A		18.8	%		21.3	%
Customer D		16.5	%		12.9	%

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, vendor accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses is as follows:

		March 31, 2026				December 31, 2025
Vendor B			13.1	%			14.0	%

*	Less than 10%.

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 17).

Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and Derivative Liability

When the Company issues the Series A convertible preferred shares (see NOTE 14), 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.

F-10

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:

	●	Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	●	Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or
	●	Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.

As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized below (also see NOTE 5 for investments):


Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2026
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Fair Value at March 31, 2026

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.

F-11

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 sale of HeartCore Japan and determines it meets the held for sale criteria and the discontinued operations criteria. The results of operations of HeartCore Japan are presented as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. The required disclosures are included in NOTE 16.

As of the date of this report, the Company did not make payment to the customer.

NOTE 9 – FACTORING LIABILITY

Sigmaways, the subsidiary acquired by the Company in February 2023, entered into a factoring and security agreement (“Factoring Agreement”) with The Southern Bank Company, an unrelated factor (“Factor”), in February 2017, for the purpose of factoring certain accounts receivable. Pursuant to the terms of the Factoring Agreement, Sigmaways may offer for sale, and the Factor may purchase in its sole discretion, certain accounts receivable of Sigmaways (“Purchased Receivable”). The Factoring Agreement provided for a maximum of $850,000 in Purchased Receivable.

Selected accounts receivable is submitted to the Factor, and Sigmaways receives 90% of the face value of the accounts receivable by wire transfer. Upon payment by the customers, the remainder of the amount due is received from the Factor after deducting certain fees.

The Factoring Agreement specifies that eligible accounts receivable is factored with recourse. Pursuant to the terms of the recourse provision, Sigmaways is required to reimburse the Factor, upon demand, for Purchased Receivable that is not paid on time by the customers. The performance of all obligations and payments to the Factor is secured by all Sigmaways’ now owned and hereafter assets and any sums maintained by the Factor that are identified as payable to Sigmaways.

F-15

The Factoring Agreement has an initial term of twelve months and automatically renews for successive twelve-month renewal periods unless terminates pursuant to the terms of the Factoring Agreement. Sigmaways may terminate the Factoring Agreement with sixty days’ written notice to the Factor and is subject to certain early termination fee.

The Factoring Agreement contains covenants that are customary for accounts receivable-based factoring agreements and also contains provisions relating to events of default that are customary for agreements of this type.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $124,508 and $135,982 borrowed and outstanding under the Factoring Agreement, respectively. There are various fees charged by the Factor, including initial discount purchase fee, factoring fee and interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $10,142 and $8,901 in interest expenses related to Factoring Agreement, respectively.

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 loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

In 2022, HeartCore USA started the Go IPO business, which supports Japanese companies listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the United States. As of March 31, 2026, we have entered into consulting agreements with 16 companies to assist them in their IPO process, whereby we are entitled to receive from each company a consulting fee that ranges from $380,000 to $900,000 and warrants or stock acquisition rights to purchase 1% to 4% of the fully-diluted share capital of such companies that is exercisable on certain dates at an exercise price of $0.01 or JPY1 per share.

Prior to November 2025, we were also a leading software development company based in Tokyo, Japan. We provided software through two business units. The first business unit, our CX division, included a customer experience management business (the “CXM Platform”). The second business unit, our DX division, was a digital transformation business which provided customers with robotics process automation, process mining and task mining to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises. In 2025, we made the strategic decision to sell our software business assets in Japan and to concentrate our efforts on our Go IPO consulting business. On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “HeartCore Japan Agreement”) with Smith Japan Holdings KK (“Smith Japan”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Smith Japan, and Smith Japan agreed to purchase (the “HeartCore Japan Sale”), all of the outstanding equity interests of HeartCore Co., Ltd., a then-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“HeartCore Japan”). The HeartCore Japan Sale closed on October 31, 2025.

Recent Developments

Share Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $2.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Board authorized the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and other applicable legal requirements. The Company expects to fund these repurchases through existing cash balances. Decisions regarding the amount and the timing of purchases under the program will be influenced by the Company’s cash on hand, cash flows from operations, general market conditions and other factors, and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of its common stock. This program has no set termination date.

Bylaws Amendment

On March 24, 2026, the Board adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

Prior to adoption of the Amendment, the second sentence of Section 7.4 of the Bylaws provided that “[i]f any action is brought by any party against another party, relating to or arising out of [the] Bylaws, or the enforcement hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action”, and Section 7.5 of the Bylaws provided (and continues to provide following adoption of the Amendment) that “[a]ll powers, duties and responsibilities provided for in [the] Bylaws, whether or not explicitly so qualified, are qualified by the provisions of the [Company’s certificate of incorporation] and applicable law.”

The Amendment had the effect of amending and restating the second sentence of Section 7.4 of the Bylaws to read as follows: “If any action is brought by any party against another party, relating to or arising out of these Bylaws, or the enforcement hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense of such action, provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply with respect to “internal corporate claims” as defined in Section 115 of the DGCL or in connection with any other claim that a stockholder, acting in its capacity as a stockholder or in the right of the Corporation, has brought in an action, suit or proceeding.”

The Amendment was intended to clarify that, consistent with Section 7.5 of the Bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including Section 109(b) thereof, the Bylaws do not contain any provision that would impose liability on a stockholder for the attorneys’ fees or expenses of the Company or any other party in connection with an internal corporate claim, or in connection with any other claim that a stockholder, acting in its capacity as a stockholder or in the right of the Company, has brought in an action, suit or proceeding.

Reverse Stock Split

As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-30, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board. On March 4, 2026, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). Subsequently, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate the Reverse Split. The Certificate of Amendment was effective for state law purposes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 2, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), after the close of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), such that the Company’s common stock began trading on Nasdaq at market open on April 6, 2026, on a post-Reverse Split basis.

As of the Effective Time, issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were automatically reclassified such that each 20 shares of pre-Reverse Split common stock became one share of common stock, with any fractional shares of common stock resulting being rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. The authorized number of shares, and par value per share, of the Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Split.

Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

As previously disclosed, on May 6, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “Bid Price Notice”) from the Nasdaq Staff indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The notification of noncompliance had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Bid Price Notice indicated that the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 3, 2025, in which to regain compliance. On November 4, 2025, the Nasdaq Staff notified the Company of its determination that the Company was eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until May 1, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On April 20, 2026, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Staff that the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter has now been closed. Accordingly, the Company’s common stock continues to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Revenues

Our revenues decreased by $847,569, or 40.5%, to $1,245,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $2,093,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly attributable to a decreased revenue of $827,435 from customized software development and services in connection with the intense competition in the U.S. software market.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues decreased by $377,840, or 24.4%, to $1,171,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1,549,639 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly attributable to a decrease of $539,614 in the cost of customized software development and services, which was in light of the decrease in sales of respective revenues.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased by $469,729, or 86.4%, to $74,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $543,774 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, mainly attributable to (i) a decrease of $298,720 in gross profit from our Go IPO consulting services, as we as spent more efforts and resources and incurred more outsourcing fees for Go IPO consulting services to enhance our Go IPO consulting customers experience with us, resulted in lower gross profit for our Go IPO consulting services; (ii) a decrease of $287,821 in customized software development and services in light of the decrease in customized software development and services revenues and the increase in respective cost in connection with the increasing subcontracting fees for outsourced software engineers due to the salary level increase in the overall software market; and offset by (iii) an increase of $116,812 in software development and other services provided by HeartCore Luvina due to the increase in software development and other services revenues and decrease in respective cost due to the cost control policy we implemented.

For the reasons discussed above, our overall gross profit margin decreased by 20.1% to 5.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 26.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Selling Expenses

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense were minimal, which were $17,496 and $39,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as we incurred pre-tax loss positions across periods.

Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Tax

On July 24, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved to enter into a non-binding letter of intent to sell 100% of the outstanding shares of HeartCore Co., Ltd. On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into the HeartCore Japan Agreement with Smith Japan in relation to the sale of HeartCore Co., Ltd.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate the estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe there are no critical accounting policies and estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
