RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
During
the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to focus on its financial services and advisory businesses as its primary line
of business. No material change occurred in the Company’s principal business strategy during the period.
The
Company conducts its financial services operations primarily through Chaince Securities, Inc. and its affiliated entities. Chaince Securities,
LLC, a subsidiary of Chaince Securities, Inc., is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and registered investment advisor (“RIA”),
and continues to provide investment banking, transaction execution, brokerage-related, and other financial advisory services to clients
participating in the U.S. capital markets.
In
addition, Ucon Capital (HK) Limited, together with its PRC subsidiary, Chaince (Shenzhen) Consulting Co., Ltd., continued to provide
business consulting and advisory services to clients in the Asia-Pacific region during the quarter. These operations remain focused on
capital markets advisory, corporate consulting, and related professional services.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s overall business operations remained consistent with the strategic direction
established in 2025. Management continued to focus on expanding the Company’s financial services platform, developing its client
base, and increasing revenue contribution from both IPO-related and non-IPO-related financial services engagements.
Looking
ahead, the Company expects to continue pursuing growth in its financial services and advisory businesses while maintaining operational
discipline and supporting the expansion of its customer base across multiple service lines.
As of August 11, 2026, the Company had a total
of 110,003,800 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including 109,993,800 ordinary shares held by non-affiliates. The aggregate market
value of the registrant’s ordinary shares held by non-affiliates (or “Public Float”) as of August 11, 2026 was $337,680,966.
This amount is based on the closing price of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq of $3.07 per share on August 11, 2026. Ordinary shares held
by executive officers, directors and 10% or greater stockholders have been excluded since such persons may be deemed affiliates.
As of August 11, 2026, 86,569,508 ordinary shares
of the Company were freely tradable without contractual lock-up restrictions or other resale restrictions. The number of freely tradable
ordinary shares differs from the Company’s Public Float because Public Float excludes shares held by affiliates, while freely tradable
shares are determined based on applicable contractual and regulatory transfer restrictions.

47

LLC’s Continuing Membership Application (“CMA”) in March 2025, the financial services and advisory business became
the Company’s primary operating focus and remains its sole continuing business line as of June 30, 2026.

entities. Chaince Securities, LLC, a subsidiary of Chaince Securities, Inc., is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and registered investment
advisor (“RIA”). Chaince Securities, LLC provides investment banking, transaction execution, brokerage-related, and other

Discontinued
Filecoin mining business
Historically,
the Company also conducted blockchain and digital asset-related activities through Mercurity Fintech Technology Holding Inc. (“MFH
Tech”), including distributed storage and computing services consisting primarily of Filecoin (“FIL”) mining operations.
In
December 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a strategic decision to discontinue the Filecoin mining business, as such
operations were no longer aligned with the Company’s long-term business strategy and capital allocation priorities. Following this
decision, the Company ceased making new investments in Filecoin mining activities and initiated an orderly wind-down of that business.
On
December 12, 2025, the Company entered into a comprehensive agreement pursuant to which substantially all Filecoin mining equipment was
sold to a third party. Under the terms of that agreement, the Company leased back the equipment through April 30, 2026 solely to allow
existing Filecoin mining nodes to naturally expire. All of the mining nodes had ceased operations by June 30, 2026.
The
results of the Filecoin mining business have been classified as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20 and are presented
separately from continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior-period financial information
has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
MFH
Tech continues to exist as a legal entity following the Company’s decision to discontinue the Filecoin mining business and may
be used for other digital asset-related or technology-enabled activities in the future. The discontinuation relates solely to the Filecoin
mining business and does not represent a liquidation or dissolution of MFH Tech.
As
of June 30, 2026, the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

As
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenues for 2026 and 2025 were derived entirely from financial
services and advisory businesses. Revenue previously generated from distributed storage and computing services (Filecoin mining operations)
has been classified as discontinued operations and is presented separately from continuing operations.

● Industry Advisory & Consulting services: $354,582
● IPO-related financial advisory and consulting services: $60,000
● Transaction execution and brokerage services: $48,008
● Other services – referral services: $616

● IPO-related financial advisory and consulting services: $167,893
● Other services – referral services: $15,000
The

transaction execution activities.
Revenue
growth reflects an expansion in both the number of engagements and the diversity of services provided during 2026 compared to 2025.
Revenue
Recognition Characteristics
Revenue
from financial services and advisory businesses is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 when performance obligations are satisfied.
Depending
on the nature of the engagement:
● IPO-related advisory and industry consulting services are generally recognized over time as services are performed;
● PIPE advisory and transaction execution services are generally recognized at a point in time upon completion of the relevant transaction milestone;
● Referral services are recognized when the referral obligation is fulfilled;
● Certain brokerage-related services may be presented on either a gross or net basis depending on the Company’s role in the transaction.
Changes
in revenue mix between 2026 and 2025 reflect an increased contribution from advisory and consulting engagements relative to referral-based
activities.
Cost
of revenue
The
following table sets forth the cost of revenue of our different types of businesses:
For the three months ended June 30, Variance in
2026 2025 Amount %

Total cost of revenue $ (530,172 ) $ (160,551 ) $ (369,621 ) 230.22 %
For
the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, total cost of revenue from financial services and advisory businesses was $240,651 and
$93,139, respectively, representing an increase of $147,512, or 158.38%.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, total cost of revenue from financial services and advisory businesses was $530,172 and $160,551,
respectively, representing an increase of $369,621, or 230.22%.
50
The
increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the expansion of revenue-generating activities during 2026. As disclosed above,
total revenue increased by $712,183 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven
by growth in IPO-related financial advisory services, industry advisory and consulting services, and transaction execution and brokerage
services engagements. The increase in cost of revenue is consistent with the higher level of transaction volume and consulting activity
during the period.
Cost
of revenue for financial services and advisory businesses primarily consists of: (a) salaries and benefits of advisory and project execution
personnel directly involved in revenue-generating activities; (b) transaction-based compensation arrangements; (c) brokerage clearing
fees and execution-related charges; and (d) directly attributable professional service costs.
Gross
profit/(loss) and gross profit/(loss) margin
Gross
profit/(loss) represents our net revenues less cost of revenue. Our gross profit/(loss) margin represents our gross profit/(loss) as
a percentage of our net revenues.
The
following table sets forth the gross profit/(loss) and gross profit/(loss) margin of our different types of businesses:
For the three months ended June 30, Variance in
2026 2025 Amount %
Gross profit
Financial services and advisory businesses 222,555 140,365 82,190 58.55 %

Overall gross profit margin 45.39 % 37.91 % 7.48 % 19.73 %
For
the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, gross profit from financial services and advisory businesses was $222,555 and $140,365,
respectively. The Company’s results improved by $82,190, or 58.55%.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, gross profit from financial services and advisory businesses was $440,580 and $98,018, respectively.
The Company’s results improved by $342,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, demonstrating year-over-year improvement in
profitability.
Gross
profit margin was 48.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 60.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This
represented a decrease of 12.07 percentage points, primarily due to a larger increase in cost of revenue.
Gross
profit margin was 45.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 37.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This represented
an increase of 7.48 percentage points, primarily due to increased revenue scale and improved operating leverage in the Company’s
financial services and advisory businesses.
The
improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily driven by higher revenue generated from advisory and consulting engagements
during the 2026 period. Although cost of revenue also increased in absolute terms due to higher personnel-related and transaction-related
costs, the increase in revenue more than offset the increase in direct costs.
Sales
and marketing expenses
Sales
and marketing expenses primarily consist of (i) labor costs of sales personnel, and (ii) referral and promotion fees for businesses.
These costs are expensed as incurred.
The
sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 amounted to $12,918 and $29,065, respectively, all of
which were attributable to labor costs of sales personnel.
The
sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 amounted to $34,066 and $58,131, respectively, all of which
were attributable to labor costs of sales personnel.
The
definition of our main business has undergone some restructuring in recent years, and as it becomes more well-defined, and as current
structural business investments mature and begin to yield revenue, we have plans to steadily increase our marketing and promotional investment
and efforts.
51
General
and administrative expenses
The
Company’s general and administrative expenses consist primarily of (i) salaries and benefits for employees, which are the salaries
and benefits for our management, merchant service representatives and general administrative staff, (ii) office expenses, which consist
primarily of office rental, maintenance and utilities expenses, depreciation of office equipment and other office expenses, and (iii)
professional expenses, which consist primarily of legal expense and audit fees.
The
Company’s general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $1,482,328, and consisted primarily
of $303,496 in employment costs, $838,821 in professional fees, and $340,011 in other office expenses.
The
Company’s general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $2,626,440, and consisted primarily
of $567,433 in employment costs, $1,279,635 in professional fees, and $779,372 in other office expenses.
The
Company’s general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $984,740, consisting primarily
of $667,979 in employment costs, $222,136 in professional fees, and $94,625 in other office expenses.
The
Company’s general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $1,698,162, consisting primarily
of $893,372 in employment costs, $464,012 in professional fees, and $340,778 in other office expenses.
Due
to the expansion of the Company’s financial services and advisory business teams, all employee salaries and benefits, professional
expenses, and office and other miscellaneous expenses have increased significantly compared to the same period in the previous year.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development of the Company’s tokenization platform
network and related blockchain infrastructure initiatives.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, research and development expenses were $83,542 and $167,084, respectively, compared to
nil for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to equity-based compensation recognized
in connection with system development services provided under the Comprehensive Technology Services Agreement entered into on July 23,
2025 with Palantir Innovation Technologies Corporation.
Pursuant
to the agreement, the Company engaged the service provider to assist with the development and implementation of a tokenization platform
network, including blockchain architecture design, RWA (Real World Assets) tokenization framework development, smart contract advisory,
and related compliance-supporting technical systems. As consideration, the Company issued ordinary shares to the service provider, which
are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation.
The
equity awards granted under the agreement have a three-year service period. Accordingly, the total grant-date fair value of the shares
issued is being recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $83,542 and $167,084, respectively, of share-based compensation expense attributable to development-related
services, which has been classified within research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The
Company did not incur material research and development expenses in 2025, as no comparable system development agreements were in effect
during that period.
Management
believes that continued investment in technology infrastructure and tokenization-related development initiatives is strategically important
to support potential future blockchain- and digital asset–enabled service offerings. However, the Company will continue to evaluate
the scope and pace of such investments in light of its broader capital allocation priorities and financial performance objectives.
Loss
on market price of stablecoins and digital assets
Loss
on market price of stablecoins and digital assets represents changes in the fair value of the Company’s digital assets holdings
and certain cryptocurrency-denominated balances recognized in earnings during the reporting period.
Effective
January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-08, which requires in-scope digital assets to be measured at fair value at each reporting
date, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Accordingly, changes in fair value are recognized in net income in the period
in which they arise.
52
Classification
Between Continuing and Discontinued Operations
For
presentation purposes, the Company classifies fair value changes based on the operational nature and business association of the underlying
digital assets:
● Digital assets held in the wallet of the parent company, Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (“Chaince Cayman”), are associated with treasury and corporate-level activities and are therefore classified within continuing operations.
● Filecoins held in the mining node accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MFH Tech, which relate directly to the Filecoin mining business, are classified within discontinued operations following the Board’s decision to wind down the distributed storage and computing services business.
● Adjustments arising from FIL-denominated receivables and payables associated with the Filecoin mining business are likewise classified within discontinued operations, as such balances are directly attributable to the mining operations.

of Solana (SOL) of $49,280; (d) loss on market price of Filecoin (held outside the mining node structure) of $55,540; and (e) loss on
market price of Tether USD of $354.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, loss on market price of stablecoins and digital assets from continuing operations totaled
$13,831 and $82,423, respectively, both of which were solely derived from loss on market price of Filecoin (held outside the mining node
structure).
These
losses relate primarily to digital assets held in Chaince Cayman’s corporate wallet and reflect declines in market prices during
the period. These amounts are included in “Loss on market price of stablecoins and digital assets” within continuing operations
in the consolidated statements of operations.
Discontinued
Operations
For
the three months ended June 30, 2026, gain on market price of stablecoins and digital assets from discontinued operations totaled $26,742,
consisting of: (a) $25,577 gain attributable to Filecoins held in MFH Tech’s Filecoin mining node accounts; and (b) $1,165 gain
arising from fair value adjustments to FIL-denominated receivables and payables associated with the Filecoin mining business.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026, loss on market price of stablecoins and digital assets from discontinued operations totaled $99,974,
consisting of: (a) $102,109 loss attributable to Filecoins held in MFH Tech’s Filecoin mining node accounts; and (b) $2,135 gain
arising from fair value adjustments to FIL-denominated receivables and payables associated with the Filecoin mining business.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, loss on market price of stablecoins and digital assets from discontinued operations totaled $105,486,
consisting of: (a) $89,232 loss attributable to Filecoins held in MFH Tech’s Filecoin mining node accounts; and (b) $16,254 loss
arising from fair value adjustments to FIL-denominated receivables and payables associated with the Filecoin mining business.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2025, loss on market price of stablecoins and digital assets from discontinued operations totaled $570,742,
consisting of: (a) $576,020 loss attributable to Filecoins held in MFH Tech’s Filecoin mining node accounts; and (b) $5,278 gain
arising from fair value adjustments to FIL-denominated receivables and payables associated with the Filecoin mining business.
The
FIL-denominated receivables and payables were settled or measured in Filecoin and were therefore subject to remeasurement based on changes
in FIL market prices. Because these balances are directly related to the mining business, the associated fair value adjustments have
been classified within discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20.
Overall
Volatility Considerations
The
increase in total fair value losses in 2026 compared to prior periods was primarily driven by declines in Filecoin market prices and
continued price volatility in major cryptocurrencies. Under the fair value model required by ASU 2023-08, the Company’s results
of operations are subject to increased volatility as both upward and downward market movements are recognized in earnings each reporting
period.

the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $322,059, compared to $1,362,648 for
the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The
discontinued operations relate entirely to the Company’s distributed storage and computing services business, which consisted of
Filecoin (“FIL”) mining activities conducted through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Mercurity Fintech Technology Holding
Inc. (“MFH Tech”). In December 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a strategic decision to discontinue
this business, and the results of the Filecoin mining operations have been classified as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC
205-20.
Operating
Results of the Mining Business
For
the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue from the Filecoin mining operations was $11,275, compared to $91,675 in 2025. Revenue fluctuations
were primarily driven by changes in mining output and market prices of FIL at the time rewards were received.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue from the Filecoin mining operations was $49,002, compared to $208,008 in 2025. Revenue fluctuations
were primarily driven by changes in mining output and market prices of FIL at the time rewards were received.
Cost
of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $93,994, primarily consisting of mining equipment depreciation, facility lease
and electricity costs, software-related expenses, and other operational costs necessary to maintain node operations compared to $246,428
in 2025. The mining business continued to generate negative gross margins during the period.
Cost
of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $269,662, primarily consisting of mining equipment depreciation, facility lease
and electricity costs, software-related expenses, and other operational costs necessary to maintain node operations, compared to $495,222
in 2025. The mining business continued to generate negative gross margins during the period.
Nature
of the Loss
The
2026 loss from discontinued operations was driven primarily by: (a) ongoing negative operating margins from mining activities; (b) impairment
charges recognized in connection with the wind-down decision; and (c) fair value volatility of FIL holdings and FIL-denominated balances.
A
significant portion of the loss relates to non-cash items, including impairment and fair value adjustments.
Following the Board’s approval in December 2025, the Company ceased making new investments in the Filecoin
mining business and initiated an orderly wind-down of the related operations. By June 30, 2026, substantially all of the related mining
nodes had expired and the majority of the pledged FIL had been released, with a substantial portion of the released FIL subsequently sold
and converted into cash. A limited amount of FIL remained pledged in connection with certain remaining nodes as of June 30, 2026 and is
expected to be released by the end of 2026. The Company does not intend to make additional investments in or resume its Filecoin mining
operations.

loss
As
a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded a net loss of $1,105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a net

As
a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded a net loss of $2,457,444 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a net
loss of $2,847,830 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Primary
Sources of Liquidity
Our
primary sources of liquidity consist of existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities, and proceeds from financing
activities.
As
of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30,973,382, stablecoins of $562,481, digital assets of $738,653, and total equity
of $46,767,178. The decrease in cash during 2026 was primarily driven by outflows from investing activities, partially offset by cash
generated from operating and financing activities.
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the closing of the Company’s registered direct offering (the “Offering”)
occurred on August 11, 2026. Upon the closing, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of US$16,196,800 before deducting offering
expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for its digital asset reserve, working capital and/or general
corporate purposes. See Note 17—“Subsequent Events.”
Management
continuously monitors liquidity levels, operating cash flow trends, capital expenditure requirements, and contractual commitments to
assess the Company’s ability to meet its short-term and long-term obligations. Based on current cash balances and expected operating
activities, management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and anticipated commitments for at least
the next twelve months.
The
Company may, from time to time, pursue additional equity or debt financing to support business expansion, strategic investments, or working
capital needs. The availability and terms of such financing are subject to market conditions and the Company’s financial performance.
Issuance of additional equity securities may result in dilution to existing shareholders, while the incurrence of debt may require the
Company to allocate cash toward debt service and may impose certain operational or financial covenants.

an adjustment of deducted non-cash profit and loss items of a positive net amount of $1,135,353, mainly provision for doubtful accounts,
inclusive of depreciation, loss from selling short-term investments, exchange gains and losses, loss on market price of short-term investment,

primarily as a result of a decrease in right-of-use assets of $160,464, an increase in deferred tax assets of $136,488, partially offset
by a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $101,541.
Operating
cash flows also included the effects of discontinued operations. Cash flows attributable to the Filecoin mining business primarily consisted
of operating lease payments, electricity and hosting expenses, and mining-related costs incurred during the wind-down period.

cash flow remained positive as the company continued to generate advisory revenue growth in the six months ended June 30, 2026.
2025
Operating Cash Flow
For
the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities was $1,328,938, reflecting a combination of net cash used

of $158,887 in right-of-use assets, a decrease of $154,096 in deferred tax assets and a decrease of $187,281 in lease liabilities.
Operating
cash flows in 2025 also included cash outflows related to Filecoin mining activities, which were presented within discontinued operations.
