• Accelerated Nasdaq Delisting Risk

  New Nasdaq rules (effective late 2024/early 2025) mean cumulative reverse stock splits (1-for-10, 1-for-20, 1-for-30 in 2024-2025) trigger immediate delisting if the bid price falls below $1.00, with no automatic stay on appeal. MicroAlgo's cumulative ratio far exceeds the 1-for-250 threshold.

• Material Weaknesses in Internal Control

  Company identified deficiencies in financial reporting personnel with U.S. GAAP understanding and IT general controls as of December 31, 2025.

• Dual-Class Share Structure

  Established in November 2024, concentrating 73.2% of voting power with the parent company, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., as of December 31, 2025.

• Improved Net Income Amidst Revenue Decline

  Reported a net income of $18.1 million for 2025, up from $52.4 million (RMB) in 2024, despite a 22.1% decrease in total revenues to $60.0 million (USD) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The annual report highlights critical risks to MicroAlgo's continued listing on Nasdaq, stemming from three successive reverse stock splits in 2024-2025 (1-for-10, 1-for-20, and 1-for-30). New Nasdaq rules, effective late 2024 and January 2025, state that a cumulative reverse split ratio of 1-for-250 or more makes the company ineligible for compliance grace periods, leading to immediate delisting if the bid price falls below $1.00, with no automatic stay on appeal. MicroAlgo's cumulative ratio far exceeds this threshold, posing an existential threat to its U.S. market access. Additionally, the company disclosed material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, specifically a lack of U.S. GAAP accounting personnel and IT general control deficiencies, which could lead to financial misstatements. While the company reported a net income of $18.1 million for 2025, up from $52.4 million (RMB) in 2024, this was accompanied by a 22.1% decrease in total revenues to $60.0 million (USD) and significant reliance on convertible notes for financing, which were converted to shares, indicating substantial dilution. The dual-class share structure also concentrates 73.2% of voting power with the parent company, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., limiting minority shareholder influence.
