NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company operates through four complementary business segments, as follows:

 

(a) Margin Brokerage

 

Through Alchemy Markets Ltd. (Malta, regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”)), Alchemy Prime Limited (United Kingdom, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”)), and Alchemy International Ltd. (Seychelles, regulated by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”)), the Company provides multi-asset online trading services—including foreign exchange (“FX”), contracts for difference (“CFDs”), equities, commodities, and digital assets—to retail and institutional clients globally.

 

(b) Wealth Management

 

Through AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd. (Australia, regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”)), the Company operates a wealth management business with 28 financial advisors collectively managing and advising on approximately $530 million in funds under advice as of December 31, 2025. This segment provides licensing solutions and financial planning services to independent financial advisors operating under the Company’s Australian Financial Services license.

 

(c) Technology and Software Development

 

Through FDCTech, Inc. and Alchemytech Ltd. (Cyprus), the Company develops, licenses, and supports its proprietary Condor Trading Technology suite, which includes the Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform and the Condor Risk Management back-office system. This technology supports multi-asset trading, risk management, and pricing across FX, equities, commodities, and digital assets and is utilized both internally across the Company’s brokerage subsidiaries and licensed to third-party brokerage firms.

 

(d) Payment Intermediary Services

 

Through Xoala Asia (Mauritius, licensed by the Financial Services Commission (“FSC”)), the Company is developing a payment gateway, merchant acquiring, and cross-border payment capabilities to complement its brokerage and wealth management operations.
