Impact of investigation and charge against our shareholders

On July 1, 2022, Mr. Huajun Gao and Mr. Aimin Kong, each was a major shareholder of the Company, were detained by Nan County Public Safety Bureau of Yiyang City, Hunan Province, China. On July 26, 2022, Nan County People's Procuratorate (“NCPP”) approved the arrest of Mr. Gao and Mr. Kong, charging them with assisting in illegal online business operation of Nanjing Jinwang Art Purchase E-commerce Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Jinwang”) and prosecuted them to Nan County People's Court (the“Court”) in August 2023.

On July 1, 2022, the bank accounts of Nanjing Jinwang were frozen by Nan County Public Safety Bureau, including a trust account into which the customers of the Company deposit their security deposits in order to trade on the Company's two online trading platforms which the Company had entrusted Nanjing Jinwang for escrow.

Also, on July 1, 2022, Nan County Public Safety Bureau froze certain bank accounts of Kashi Longrui Business Management Services Co., Ltd. (“Kashi Longrui”), Kashi Dongfang Cangpin Culture Development Co., Ltd. (“Kashi Dongfang”) and Nanjing Yanyu Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nanjing Yanyu”), all subsidiaries of Jiangsu Yanggu Culture Development Co., Ltd., the variable interest entity of the Company in China because they, each had business relationship with Nanjing Jinwang.

The Court had the hearing in August 2023 and trial in January 2024 and both of Mr. Kong and Mr. Gao were released on bail waiting for the judgement of the Court since February 2024. On May 5, 2025, NCPP filed with the Court to withdraw the charges against Nanjing Jinwang, Mr. Aimin Kong and Mr. Huajun Gao due to lack of evidence to press the charges. On May 8, 2025, the Court ordered to grant the withdrawal of charges against Nanjing Jinwang, Mr. Kong and Mr. Gao by NCCP. On May 15, 2025, Nan County Public Safety Bureau unfroze the bank accounts of Nanjing Jinwang, a related party of the Company. On May 15, 2025, Nan County Public Safety Bureau unfroze the bank accounts of Kashi Longrui, Kashi Dongfang and Nanjing Yanyu. On May 28, 2025, NCCP determined it would not seek to file any charges against Nanjing Jinwang, Mr. Aimin Kong and Mr. Huajun Gao. The investigation and case have been officially closed according to the PRC counsel of the Company, Tahota (Nanjing) Law Firm. All customers can freely transfer their deposits and make their withdrawals based on their actual needs.

Neither the Company nor its VIE or subsidiaries of its VIE have received any notification for enforcement charges from Nan County Public Safety Bureau, other than cash and short-term investment in the frozen bank accounts relating to the Nanjing Jinwang investigation as described above. Mr. Gao and Mr. Kong are not officers, directors or employees of the Company, its VIE or subsidiaries of the VIE until January 23, 2025 when Mr. Kong was appointed as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

Due to the Nanjing Jinwang case between July 2022 and May 2025, the business operations of the Company have been materially and negatively impacted as its customers may had concerns regarding the safety of their deposited funds following difficulties they experienced in withdrawing their security deposits through online banking when the bank accounts were frozen. The number of customers who actively traded on our online platform continuously deceased from 15,124 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to 4,504 for the same period in 2025.

This investigation and case against our related parties had negative impact on our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Our revenue decreased approximately $0.3 million from approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $0.1 million for the same period of 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company typically financed its operations through internally generated cash and equity financing. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $38.8 million in cash and the Company's working capital was approximately $39.1 million at June 30, 2025.

If the Company is unable to realize its assets within the normal operating cycle of a 12-month period, the Company may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

• other available sources of equity or debt financing from financial institutions or investors; and
  
• financial support from our related parties and shareholders.

Based on the above considerations, the Company's management believes that it has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due over the next 12 months.

* Including $0 and $54,633 from related parties for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(1) Listing service fees: Our performance obligation is to provide listings on our platform. Listing service fees are calculated based on a percentage of the listing value of collectibles, artwork and commodities. Listing value is the total offering price of the collectible, artwork and commodities when the ownership of the units is initially listed on our trading platforms. We utilize an appraised value as a basis to determine the appropriate listing value for each collectible, artwork or commodities, or portfolio of collectibles, artwork or commodities. We recognize the related revenue upon our completion of our performance obligation to the customer and its item is successfully listed for trading on our platforms. Our standard listing fees for artwork and collectibles range from 3% to 8% and 6% to 10% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and standard listing fees for commodities was 3% to 8% of the initial listing value for each of 2025 and 2024. The rate is dependent on the type of listings and is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Total listing service fees decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 99.9% from approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $100 for the same period in 2025. Our listing service fees are calculated based on a percentage of the listing value of collectibles, artwork and commodities of new products. In addition, there was a decrease in listing values of approximately $15.8 million for new products listings with approximately $15.8 million and $0 for 2024 and 2025, respectively. The numbers of new collectibles/artwork and commodities that were successfully listed on our platforms decreased from 7 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 0 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the value generated by new product listings was mainly due to the decrease of the numbers of new products which caused by the impact from the freezing of bank accounts caused by the case against our shareholders starting in the second half of 2022 as we had a hard time to retain new clients due to the case.

(2) Transaction fee revenue: Transaction fee revenue is generally calculated based on the transaction value of collectibles, artwork or commodities per transaction for our services to facilitate the trading transactions. Transaction value is the dollar amount of the purchase and sale of the collectibles, artwork or commodities after it is listed on our platform. We typically charge from 0.15% to 0.3% of the transaction value per transaction from both the purchase and sale side of the transaction resulting in an aggregate of 0.3% to 0.6% of total transaction value. Sometimes, we charge a predetermined transaction rate, which is negotiated on a case-by-case basis, for selected traders with specific large transactions. Transaction fee revenue also includes predetermined monthly transaction fees, which are negotiated on a case-by-case basis for selected traders with high trading volume, and are recognized and earned over the specified service period.

Total transaction fee revenue decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 71.9% from approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $63,000 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was due to the decrease in total transaction value. Transaction fee revenue is calculated based on a certain percentage of the transaction value per transaction. The total transaction value on our platform decreased from approximately $86.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $61.5 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease in our transaction was mainly due to continuous negative impact from the freezing of bank accounts caused by the case against our shareholders that started in second half of 2022.

(3) Marketing service fees: Marketing service fees are what we charge for promoting and marketing our customers' collectible or artwork. The services include assisting our customers in connection with his/her listing and trading of his/her collectible/artwork on our platform, which mainly includes consulting and supporting services of the marketability for the collectible/artwork; assessing its market value and market acceptance for the collectible/artwork; and assisting in the application and legal protection required for the customer's collectible/artwork to be approved for listing on our platform. For marketing service contracts in which the related performance obligations can be completed within a short period of time, the Company recognizes the related revenue upon the completion of its performance obligations.

Marketing service agreements also include providing promotion services for customers' items as where to place ads on well-known cultural or art exchange websites in China, to provide online and offline marketing services including cooperation with auction houses and participate in industry-related exhibitions and fairs. The marketing service fees are charged on a negotiated fixed fee basis, which is based on the type of the listing session that the customer applies for and whether the customer has listed and sold its collectibles on other platforms before, and they were not based on the value of the underlying collectible, artwork and commodities. Marketing service contracts and fees are recognized upon the completion of all performance obligations.

Marketing service fees decreased by approximately $66,000 or 100.0% from approximately $66,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $0 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was due to the decrease in demand for marketing services from customers to promote their listed items.

(4) Other revenues: Other revenues primarily include services fees for IT technical support and agency recommendation fees. IT technical support fees are negotiated on a case-by-case basis and are recognized when the related services have been performed based on the specific terms of the contract. Agency recommendation fees are mainly revenue generated from providing consulting and training services to certain traders/agents. Upon completion of the training and consulting, these qualified traders/agents may introduce our platform and services to potential customers to list their collectibles and artwork with us for a fee or promote their own products on our platform. Total other revenues increased by approximately $23,000 or 41.1% from $56,000, which included $54,633 from providing technical services to our related parties for the same period in 2024 to $78,000, which included $0 from providing technical services to our related parties for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily because we provided more technical services for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 86.5% from approximately $0.2 million, including $20,492 to a related party, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $21,000 including $11 to a related party for the same period in 2025. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in employee salaries of approximately $71,000, decrease in system fees of approximately $26,000, and decrease in warehouse storage of approximately $20,000. The warehouse storage fees were charged based on certain percentage of listing value of commodities, decrease in warehouse storage fee was due to decrease in overall listing value of products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 59.0% from approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately 85.4% and approximately 65.8%, respectively.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

The following table sets forth our operating expenses by amounts and percentages for the periods indicated:

		For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2025			2024			Variance
		Expense			%			Expense			%			Amount			%

General and administrative			(843,254	)			18.2				(1,576,008	)			66.4				732,754				(46.5	)%
General and administrative – related parties			-				0.0				(82,476	)			3.5				82,476				(100.0	)%
Stock compensation expenses			(3,790,000	)			81.7				(573,000	)			24.1				(3,217,000	)			561.4	%
Total operating expenses		$	(4,635,712	)			100.0			$	(2,373,523	)			100.0			$	(2,262,189	)			(95.3	)%

Selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 98.3%, from approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $2,000 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in marketing expenses of approximately $40,000 as we paid less commissions due to less new listings and traders introduced by third parties, and the decrease in salary expenses of approximately $81,000 resulting from a decrease in number of employees in our sales and marketing department from twelve to one.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.9 million, or 49.2% from approximately $1.7 million including approximately $82,000 to a related party for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $0.8 million including approximately $0 to a related party for the same period in 2025. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the decreased professional fees of approximately $0.2 million, decreased office expenses of approximately $0.5 million, decreased depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $0.1 million, and decreased travel and meeting related fees of approximately $0.1 million and as we incurred less professional services and management needs due to less business and revenues in the first half of 2025.

Stock Compensation Expenses

Our stock compensation expenses increased by approximately $3.2 million, or 561.4% from approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was due to approximately $2.0 million of the granted stock awards pursuant to the 2021 Omnibus Equity Plan and approximately $1.7 million of the issuance of preferred shares to our COO pursuant to the employee agreement signed in January 2025.

Other Income

Total other income increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 235.3%, from approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $0.7 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was mainly due to the increase of approximately $0.1 million of other income, including rental income from the lease of office building and the sale of Chinese liquor, and the decrease of approximately $0.4 million of impairment loss on intangible assets due to the disposal of HKDAEx Limited in December 2024. The sale of Chinese liquor is not expected to be a recurring line of business for the Company.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes amounted to nil for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. We generated most of our income (loss) from the subsidiaries of our VIE. We also have provided 100% allowance on net operating losses from our VIE due to continuing losses.

Net Loss

Our net loss increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 104.2%, from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to approximately $3.8 million for the same period in 2025. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes as discussed above.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

Changes in foreign currency translation adjustment are mainly due to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates between RMB/HKD (the functional currency of our operating entities) and the USD dollar (reporting currency).

Basic and diluted loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share were $0.19 and $0.28 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a 30.8% decrease. Due to net loss, the basic and diluted shares are considered the same.
