• Significant Financial Turnaround in FY2025

  FDCTech reported a consolidated net income of $5.80 million for fiscal year 2025, a substantial increase from $0.25 million in 2024, and eliminated its accumulated deficit, achieving an accumulated surplus of $3.40 million. Total revenues grew by 29.8% to $34.96 million.

• Persistent Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

  Management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025, citing insufficient accounting personnel, lack of segregation of duties, limited U.S. GAAP expertise for multi-jurisdictional consolidations, and weak controls over related party transactions.

• High Related Party Balances and Negative Operating Cash Flow

  The company reported $40.09 million in related party receivables and $29.20 million in related party advances as of December 31, 2025. These balances significantly contributed to a negative operating cash flow of ($40.92 million) for FY2025, raising concerns about liquidity and the quality of earnings.

• Planned Uplisting and Corporate Governance Improvement

  FDCTech is pursuing an uplisting to a national securities exchange, supported by a proposed $20 million public offering. Crucially, all 4.5 million super-voting Series A Preferred Stock shares will be retired and cancelled without cash consideration prior to the offering, enhancing common shareholder rights.

This amended 10-K provides crucial details on FDCTech's financial performance and significant operational risks. While the company achieved a notable turnaround to profitability in fiscal year 2025 and eliminated its accumulated deficit, these positives are heavily offset by persistent material weaknesses in internal controls, particularly concerning related party transactions. The substantial increase in related party receivables and continued negative operating cash flow raise serious questions about the quality of earnings and the company's underlying financial health. The planned uplisting and retirement of super-voting shares are positive steps for corporate governance and future capital access, but the unresolved internal control issues present a fundamental risk to investors.
