Next Technology Holding Inc. was incorporated
in the State of Wyoming on
Software development
The Company provides AI-enabled software development services to its customers, which include developing, designing, and implementing various SAAS software solutions for businesses of all types, including industrial and other businesses.
Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy
The Company’s bitcoin acquisition strategy generally involves acquiring bitcoin with its 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.
The Company views its bitcoin holdings as long-term holdings and expects to continue to accumulate bitcoin. The Company has not set any specific target for the amount of bitcoin it seeks to hold, and the Company will continue to monitor market conditions in determining whether to engage in additional financings to purchase additional bitcoin.
This overall strategy also contemplates that the Company 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 its bitcoin holdings, and (iii) consider pursuing additional strategies to create income streams or otherwise generate funds using its bitcoin holdings.
The Company believes 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.
The following table presents a roll-forward of the Company’s bitcoin holdings, including additional information related to its bitcoin purchases, and digital asset impairment losses during the period:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) 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 March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 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 March 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, 2024.
(b) Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgement estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 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.
(d) 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 nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
6
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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. Digital assets are classified as Level 1.
The Company classifies its digital assets within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has the ability to access these markets and execute transactions at the quoted prices on the measurement date without adjustment.
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.
(e) Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries is the United States dollar (“US$”).
Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as foreign exchange related gain/loss.
(f) 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 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 is not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.
(g) Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, and disclosure of certain crypto assets. Bitcoin held by the Company meets the defined criteria under this standard. 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 elected early adoption of ASU 2023-08 in 2024 fiscal year. Upon adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment is made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s crypto assets (classified as digital assets on the balance sheet) are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized as “other income” in net income during the period.

(h) Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable represents those receivables derived in the ordinary course of business, net of an allowance for any potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that may vary by geography, customer-type, or industry sub-vertical, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Although the Company has historically not experienced significant credit losses, they may experience increasing credit loss risks from accounts receivable in future periods if its customers are adversely affected by economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, or other customer-specific factors, and actual experience in the future may differ from their past experiences or current assessment.
(i) Investment in associate company
Investment in associate companies, where the company has significant influence but does not control the investee, is accounted for using the equity method. In accordance with ASC Topic 323 (“ASC 323”), “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” the Company applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in entities over which it can exercise significant influence but does not hold a majority equity interest or control.
Under this method, the initial investment is recorded at cost, and the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of the investee’s net income or loss. Additionally, any dividends received from the associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. the Company evaluates these investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Any impairment losses deemed other-than-temporary are recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Management regularly evaluates the impairment of these investments based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment.
8
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company evaluates the equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when determining whether an investment has been other than temporarily impaired, includes, but not limited to, the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial performance and near term prospect of the investee, and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment until the recovery of its cost. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
(j) 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 its 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.
Software development revenue recognition
Revenue recognition for software development is recognized based on the completion method. The Company recognizes revenue of software development when software development services are completed and rendered to its customers in an amount that reflects in the contract the Company expects to be entitled to for the software development services.
(k) Software Development Costs
The Company applies ASC 985-20, Software—Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, in analyzing its 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 the Company’s software development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. In addition, the Company applies this to its review of development projects related to software used exclusively for its 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.
(l) General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses also consist of (i) salary and welfare for general and administrative personnel, (ii) office expense, (iii) professional service fees and others.
9
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(m) 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 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company has a subsidiary in Hong Kong and BVI. The Company is subject to tax in Hong Kong and BVI 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 Authority of Hong Kong.
(n) Capital Structure
The Company currently has unlimited authorized
shares of
(o) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.
(p) Dividends
Dividends are recognized when declared. No dividends were declared for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company does not have any present plan to pay any dividends on ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain the available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand its business.
(q) Leases
In accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company, using the modified retrospective transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption rather than retrospectively adjusting prior periods and the package of practical expedients, categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance lease. However, the Company has no finance leases for any of the periods presented.
10
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s rights to use underlying assets 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 on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, reduced by lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs, using the discount rate for the lease on the commencement date. As the implicit rate in lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, the Company generally uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments on the commencement date. the Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. the Company accounts for lease and non-lease components separately.
(r) Earning Per Share
Basic net income 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 per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
(s) Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and shareholder lawsuits. An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
(t) Recently Issued and Adopted Financial Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 14 Segment and Geographic Information in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which improves income tax disclosures. The amendments require the disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require disaggregated information about the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), Income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and Income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The new guidance is required to be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. This guidance is effective for the Group’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the period ended March 31, 2025. See Note 12 income taxes in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail.

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 Holding 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 include 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.

Revenue from Operations
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, total revenue were $nil respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, general and administrative expenses were $449,858 and $330,145, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by higher litigation-related legal fees.
Other Income
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other income were $245,311,156 and $24,019,399, respectively, which was mainly due to gain from digital assets during the period.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, there was a net income of $193,440,425 and net loss of $19,546,495 for the period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in Net Income is mainly due to gain from digital assets during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash on hand of $668,387. There is no change in cash held during the period.
Operating activities
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the operating cash flow is nil and nil. We borrowed funds from former executives and third parties to cover daily operational expenses. Repayment is anticipated to occur once the bank accounts are restored to normal operating status.
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 March 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2025 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 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 March 31, 2025. 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 March 31, 2025 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 (the “WY District Court”) 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 previously filed the above-described derivative suit initiated a direct action against the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Wyoming (the “Chancery Court”), once again seeking control of the Company. In response, the Company contested to the lawsuit and sought a temporary restraining order to prevent the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates (including the Unauthorized Persons) from asserting control over the Company.
On November 7, 2023, the Chancery Court granted a temporary restraining order substantially restraining Mr. Zheng Dai and his affiliates from claiming to act on behalf of the Company.
On November 30, 2023, the Company responded to plaintiffs’ allegations, demonstrating that their claims—brought by Mr. Zheng Dai and his affiliates—were largely based 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 issued a preliminary injunction order (attached hereto), which specifically restrained Mr. Zheng Dai 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. |
The Company remains under the control of its current board of directors, which, as of the reporting date, consists of the following personnel: Lichen Dong (Chairman of the Board), Tian Yang, Mahesh Thapaliya, and Jianbo Sun.
On April 8, 2024, the Chancery Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ case with prejudice, allowing the Company to reserve its right to seek fees. The Company’s counterclaims against plaintiffs were later dismissed without prejudice upon stipulation on June 11, 2024.
On September 6, 2024, the same individuals initiated a new lawsuit against the Company in the WY District Court, with a sole cause of action seeking inspection of certain corporate records.
On October 30, 2024, the Company responded the complaint, denying plaintiffs’ allegations and arguing that plaintiffs had failed to satisfy the statutory requirements necessary for corporate records inspection.
On December 9, 2024, one of the plaintiffs, Wenwen Yu, filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin future share issuances by the Company (the “Motion”).
On December 27, 2024, the Company opposed Yu’s Motion, asserting that it was entirely without merit.
23
Separately, on May 15, 2024, another lawsuit was filed against the Company in the New York County Supreme Court (the “NY Court”), seeking repayment of certain loans allegedly guaranteed by the Company.
On September 9, 2024, the Company moved to dismiss the case on the grounds of forum non conveniens and lack of personal jurisdiction, given that the alleged guarantees—signed by Zheng Dai and Pijun Liu—were unauthorized and, therefore, null and void.
On April 9, 2025, the WY District Court conducted a hearing and, finding no good cause to grant the Motion, denied the Motion.
As of the reporting date, the Company’s motion remains pending before the NY Court.
