NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
Business
Next Technology Holdings Inc (Formerly known as WeTrade Group, Inc) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2019. We currently pursue two corporate strategies. One business strategy is to continue providing software development services, and the other strategy is to acquire and hold bitcoin.
Software development
We provide AI-enabled software development services to our customers, which included developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types, including industrial and other businesses.
Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
Our bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves acquiring bitcoin with our liquid assets that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing debt or equity securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase bitcoin.
We view our bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that we may (i) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash for treasury management or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings.
We believe that, due to its limited supply, bitcoin offers the opportunity for appreciation in value if its adoption increases and has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long-term.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that have been made are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, the results of its operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the quarterly periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
The statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which establishes accounting guidance for crypto assets meeting certain criteria. Bitcoin meets this criteria. The amendments require crypto assets meeting the criteria to be recognized at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. Upon adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment is made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has early applied ASU 2023-08 and measured crypto assets (presented as digital assets) at fair value with changes recognized in net income this period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Company’s cash that is held in bank accounts in Hong Kong and PRC are not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.
Foreign Currency
The
Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented
in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is RMB. The condensed
consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average
exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions
occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity included in other comprehensive
income.

Investment
Investment in associate company that we have significant influence but do not have control over the investee are accounted for under the equity method. We will periodically review the investment for impairment. The initial measurement and periodic subsequent adjustments of the investment are calculated by applying the ownership percentage to the net assets or equity of the partially owed entity under ASC 323.
Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Group and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgement estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant accounting estimates include the allowance for expected credit loss, valuation of deferred tax assets, and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities.
8
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are presented net of allowance for expected credit loss. The Company uses specific identification in providing for bad debts when facts and circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful and based on factors listed in the following paragraph. If the financial conditions of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance may be required.
The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit loss which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit loss on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the industry incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASU 2016-02 requires that public companies use a secured incremental browning rate for the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable. We determine a secured rate on a quarterly basis and update the weighted average discount rate accordingly.
Software Development Costs
We apply ASC 985-20, Software—Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, in analyzing our software development costs. ASC 985-20 requires the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility for a software product in development. Research and development costs associated with establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Based on our software development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. In addition, we apply this to our review of development projects related to software used exclusively for our SaaS subscription offerings. In these reviews, all costs incurred during the preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred. Once the projects have been committed to and it is probable that the projects will meet functional requirements, costs are capitalized.
9
Income Tax
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 periods 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
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 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
The Company has subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC. The Company is subject to tax in Hong Kong and PRC jurisdictions. As a result of its future business activities, the Company will be required to file tax returns that are subject to examination by the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong and Tax Department of PRC.
Earnings/ (Loss) Per Share
Earnings/ (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, options, or convertible debt using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in profit periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to non-financial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for its doubtful accounts receivable due to estimated credit losses. The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, included in general and administrative expense, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. There is no allowance for expected credit loss as the accounts receivable has been received as at reporting date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Business
Next Technology Holdings Inc (formerly known as “WeTrade Group, Inc”) was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2019. We currently pursue two corporate strategies. One business strategy is to continue providing software development services, and the other strategy is to acquire and hold bitcoin.
Software development
We provide AI-enabled software development services to our customers, which included developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types, including industrial and other businesses.
Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
Our bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves acquiring bitcoin with our liquid assets that exceed working capital requirements, and from time to time, subject to market conditions, issuing debt or equity securities or engaging in other capital raising transactions with the objective of using the proceeds to purchase bitcoin.
We view our bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings and expect to continue to accumulate bitcoin. We have not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin we seek to hold, and we will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that we may (i) periodically sell bitcoin for general corporate purposes, including to generate cash for treasury management or in connection with strategies that generate tax benefits in accordance with applicable law, (ii) enter into additional capital raising transactions that are collateralized by our bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using our bitcoin holdings.
We believe that, due to its limited supply, bitcoin offers the opportunity for appreciation in value if its adoption increases and has the potential to serve as a hedge against inflation in the long-term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of $668,387. There is no change in cash held during the period.
Operating activities
As of June 30, 2024, our cash flow used in operating activities is $529 for the period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the cash flow used in operating activities of $648,252 in prior period. The decrease was mainly due to increase in deferred tax liabilities during the period.

Cash provided by our financing activities was $634 for the period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $318,000. The decrease is mainly due to lesser in shareholders’ advance during the period as compare to the prior period.
Inflation
Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates. We use historical data to assist in the forecast of our future results. Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business. It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as such are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
With respect to the period ended June 30, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based upon our evaluation regarding the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. Material weaknesses noted are lack of an audit committee, lack of a majority of outside directors on the board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and management is dominated by two individuals, without adequate compensating controls. However, management believes the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment, management identified material weaknesses related to: (i) our internal audit functions; (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions; and the lack of multiple levels of review of our accounting data. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 any policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. To the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. With proper funding we plan on remediating the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since mid-September 2023, Mr. Zheng Dai, Mr. Pijun Liu, and certain individuals under their control (the “Unauthorized Persons”) had been falsely and repeatedly holding themselves out as representing and/or authorized to represent the Company. For example, the Unauthorized Persons caused to be filed certain current reports on Forms 8-K dated September 28, 2023 and October 10, 2023, in which they purported to appoint new officers and directors. These filings were false and should be disregarded.
On September 28, 2023, a derivative lawsuit was filed by certain purported shareholders affiliated with the Unauthorized Persons in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming against certain officers and directors of the Company, seeking control of the Company. This case was dismissed without prejudice on October 18, 2023.
On October 18, 2023, the same individuals who filed the above-described derivative suit filed a direct action against the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Wyoming (the “Chancery Court”), again seeking control of the Company. The Company responded to the lawsuit, sought a temporary restraining order restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates (including the Unauthorized Persons) from claiming be in control of the Company.
On November 7, 2023, the Chancery Court issued a temporary restraining order substantially restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates from claiming to act on behalf of the Company. The lawsuit remains pending as at reporting date.
On November 30, 2023, the Company responded to plaintiffs’ arguments that they controlled the Company, pointing out that plaintiffs’ case (Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates) was largely built upon forged signatures and other fabricated materials. In response, the plaintiffs withdrew their opposition to the Company’s request for an injunction.
On January 5, 2024, the Chancery Court entered a preliminary injunction order (attached hereto). Specifically, the order restrained Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates from the following conduct:
(i) acting as or holding themselves out as majority shareholders, directors, executives, or employees of the Company and its affiliates;
(ii) making any attempts to contact the SEC, Nasdaq, government authorities, or make any filing or press release on behalf of the Company;
(iii) making any attempts to change the board composition and executive team;
(iv) disseminating false statements regarding the Company and its leadership;
(v) making any attempts to contact the Company’s service providers, including auditors, stock transfer agents, and filing agents;
(vi) making any attempts to issue the Company’s shares.
