First Half Year of 2024 Financial Highlights

Operating Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue

The following tables illustrate the Company’s revenue by revenue type:

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of commissions paid to distribution channels, internal labor costs and related benefits, and other overhead costs that are directly attributable to services provided.

Cost of revenue decreased from approximately $2.73 million to nil for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year. The decrease in cost of revenue is directly linked to the disposal of the insurance agency business.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was nil for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to gross profit of $0.13 million and gross profit margin of 4.4% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributed to the disposal of the insurance agency business, which mainly collected commissions from selling insurance products as compensation for its agency services. Due to the business adjustment in the last year, the Company did not generate revenue for the first half of 2024, and expected to remain focus on investment banking business in the future.

Operating Expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, operating expenses included selling and marketing, payroll and related benefits, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses.

Selling and Marketing Costs

All costs related to selling and marketing are expensed as incurred. Selling and marketing costs decreased by approximately $0.64 million, or 63.7%, to approximately $0.37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately $1.01 million for the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributed to the disposal of the insurance agency business, as the Company had not incurred any selling and marketing expenses on for the insurance agency services for the first half of 2024.

Payroll and Related Benefits

Payroll and related benefits were approximately $0.96 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $1.19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.23 million, or 19.2%. The decrease was mainly attributed to the personnel changes in the Company and the disposal of Alpha Mind.

Professional Fees

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, professional fees primarily consisted of audit fees, legal service fees, financial consulting fees and other fees associated with being a public company. Professional fees totaled approximately $0.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $0.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.06 million, or 10.7%.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, other general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.51 million and $0.50 million, respectively, which represents an increase of $0.01, or 2.3%.

Loss from Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, loss from operations was approximately $2.3 million, compared to a loss from operations of approximately $3.09 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.79 million, or 25.5%, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in selling and marketing expenses and payroll and related benefits.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes interest income from bank deposits, interest income from promissory notes receivable, interest expense from convertible promissory notes, allowance for credit losses - notes receivable, other income, and foreign currency transaction gain (loss). Other expenses totaled approximately $26.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to other expense of approximately $1.33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $24.74 million which was mainly attributable to the increase in allowance for credit losses on the Company’s notes receivable.

Income Taxes

We did not have any income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as we did not generate any taxable income during this period, while the income tax was $1,737 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was attributable to the insurance agency business acquired by the Company.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors described above, our net loss was approximately $28.37 million, or $0.14 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our net loss was approximately $4.42 million, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of MMTEC, INC., MM Future Technology Limited, HC Securities (HK) Limited, MMBD Trading Limited, MM Global Securities, INC, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Gujia (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd, and Haichuan Zhixin (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, average exchange rate for revenue and expenses and cash flows, and historical exchange rates for equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the results of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation gain of $73,561 and a foreign currency translation loss of $80,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This non-cash loss had the effect of increasing our reported comprehensive loss.

Comprehensive Loss

As a result of our foreign currency translation adjustment, we had a comprehensive loss of approximately $28.3 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately $3.04 million, compared to approximately $1.76 million as of December 31, 2023. Total working capital was negative $4.06 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to working capital of negative $2.43 million as of December 31, 2023.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $1.89 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.02 million for the same period last year. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0.63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $86.78 million for the same period last year. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $88.0 million for the same period of last year. 

As an entity that operates in the financial industry in China and the United States, the Company finds itself subject to the challenges posed by the ongoing tension in the trade relations between the countries.

Restatements

The Company has amended and restated its December 31, 2023 audited condensed consolidated financial statements, and June 30, 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the management conducted a review on the computing of interest expense of convertible promissory note in the aggregate original principal amount of $70 million issued on March 31, 2023. As a result of this review, it was concluded that there were accounting errors in the previously filed financial statements, the interest expense and accrued interest as of December 31, 2023 was understated by approximately $3.46 million. Meanwhile, the Company identified an error in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2023. The resulting corrections are noted in the adjustments column in the following tables.

The December 31, 2023 audited condensed consolidated financial statements were restated to correct errors in accounting for accrued liabilities and other payables, and retained earnings.
