Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
We cannot predict all the risks and uncertainties that may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements will occur or that our objectives and plans will be achieved, and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include information concerning possible or projected future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets, strategies or plans; business strategies; prospects; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results; and any other statements that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to a variety of factors and risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2026, as amended on April 21, 2026.
Many of those risk factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOCERA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Description
Nocera is a Nevada corporation headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our business operations consist primarily of two segments: (i) Fish Trading and (ii) E-Commerce. Our Fish Trading segment is carried out by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nocera Inc. Taiwan Branch (“NTB”). NTB engages in the trading of fish, primarily eels, in the Republic of Taiwan. In the E-Commerce segment, which is administered through Zhejiang Xinca Mutual Entertainment Culture Media Co., Ltd. (“Xinca”), an unincorporated division of the Company, we act as an agent in facilitating the sale of third-party products through live-streaming e-commerce platforms. In addition, we design recirculation aquaculture systems (“RAS”) for fish farming, and we consult with customers in the manufacture and installation of RAS.
In January 2026, the Company allocated an aggregate
$
Going concern
The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which contemplates the realization of
assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a net loss of $
Management’s plans to address these conditions include, but are not limited to, (i) seeking additional capital through equity financing arrangements with existing shareholders and potential new investors, (ii) pursuing strategic financing alternatives, including debt financing, to improve liquidity, (iii) implementing cost control measures to reduce operating expenses, and (iv) expanding revenue-generating activities through the development of new business opportunities and enhancement of existing operations.
The Company is currently in discussions with potential investors and financing sources; however, no definitive agreements have been executed as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding or achieving its business objectives.
Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, and may include restrictive covenants in the case of debt financing or result in significant dilution to existing stockholders in the case of equity financing. Therefore, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026, as amended on April 21, 2026.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other future years or interim periods.
| 8 |
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company conducts credit evaluations of its customers and suppliers and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
The Company does not have accounts receivable outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued several updates during the period, but none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value:
| · | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| · | Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1, either directly or indirectly. | |
| · | Level 3: Unobservable inputs, used when observable inputs are not available. |
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis, including warrant liabilities and convertible notes. When observable market data is available, such inputs are used to measure fair value. When observable inputs are not available, the Company applies valuation techniques which require management to develop significant estimates and assumptions.
Certain non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when indicators of impairment exist.
| 9 |
Note 2 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (“VIE”)
The Company consolidates Xinca, a VIE for which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, as disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026.
The Company does not have any equity ownership interest in its consolidated VIE. The Company’s involvement with this VIE is through contractual arrangements that provide the Company with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’ economic performance and (ii) the right to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIE, while also obligating the Company to absorb losses that could potentially be significant.
The assets of the consolidated VIE may only be used to settle the obligations of the respective VIE and are not available to satisfy the obligations of the Company, except as otherwise permitted under the relevant contractual arrangements. The creditors of the consolidated VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.
The following tables present the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIE included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Note 7 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases, on January 1, 2019, the beginning of fiscal year 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.
Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
The carrying amount of right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset are as follows:

Note 9 DIGITAL ASSETS
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company began investing in digital assets, which are comprised solely of Bitcoin, and are measured at fair value as of each reporting period in accordance with ASU 2023-08. The Company classifies these digital assets as non-current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company determines the fair value of its Bitcoin in accordance with ASC 820, based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the Coinbase exchange, the active exchange that the Company has determined is its principal market for Bitcoin (Level 1 inputs). Changes in fair value are recognized as incurred within Other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 11 CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On October 31, 2025, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor (the
“Investor”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, in multiple closings, senior secured convertible notes in
an aggregate original principal amount of up to $
The Note is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets purchased or acquired with the proceeds from the sale of the Note, pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement and an Account Control Agreement, each dated as of November 3, 2025. The Note ranks senior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, subject to certain permitted indebtedness exceptions.
The Note is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The conversion price is equal to the lower of: (A) The lower of (i) $2.01, and (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing; and (B) 93% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
The conversion price is subject to a floor price and customary adjustments. The holder is restricted from converting the Note if such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, which may be increased to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice.
The Company elected the fair value option for the Note in accordance with ASC 825. Accordingly, the Note is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The fair value of the Note is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of an active market and reliance on unobservable inputs. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on expected future principal and interest payments, adjusted for expected conversions and the Floor Price of the conversion feature. The discount rate is based on management’s estimate of rates for similar debt instruments, adjusted for the Company’s credit risk. Changes in key assumptions, including the discount rate or expected conversion, could materially affect the estimated fair value of the convertible notes.

Note 12 WARRANTS
IPO Warrants
In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its Common Stock (the “IPO Warrants”). The IPO Warrants contain exercise price reset provisions whereby the exercise price may be adjusted based on the VWAP of the Common Stock following issuance. In addition, the Company may, subject to holder consent, reduce the exercise price at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The IPO Warrants also provide the Company with redemption rights at a price equal to a multiple of the exercise price upon the satisfaction of certain market-based conditions. Due to the presence of exercise price reset features, discretionary repricing provisions and non-nominal redemption terms, the IPO Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the IPO Warrants are classified as warrant liabilities and are recorded at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
The IPO Warrants are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because they are not traded in an active market and their valuation relies on significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of the IPO Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, incorporating assumptions regarding the fair value of the Company’s common stock, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and adjustments for exercise price reset and redemption features. The expected term equals the remaining contractual term, as the IPO Warrants are fully vested and exercisable. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period consistent with the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields with maturities consistent with the expected term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not historically paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. Changes in key assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the IPO Warrants.

All outstanding warrants to purchase common stock, including the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the applicable exercise price, have been proportionately adjusted to reflect the 1-for-30 reverse stock split effected on July 6, 2026, in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable warrant agreements. As of March 31, 2026, on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis, the IPO warrants to purchase approximately 66,028 shares of common stock were outstanding, at an adjusted exercise price of $57.9 per share. The following is a summary of the IPO warrant activity:

Class A and Class B warrants
The Company has issued Class A and Class B warrants to employees and other service providers as part of its equity compensation arrangements. The Class A and Class B warrants are exercisable into a fixed number of shares of the Company’s common stock at fixed exercise prices and are classified as equity.
The Company estimated the grant-date fair value of warrants issued to service providers using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation model requires assumptions related to the fair value of the Common Stock on the grant date, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. These warrants are recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period and are not subsequently remeasured after the grant date.
The expected term of the warrants was estimated based on the contractual term of the warrants, as the warrants were fully vested and exercisable upon grant and no vesting period applies. Expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies over a period consistent with the expected term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date with a maturity corresponding to the expected term of the warrants. The Company has not historically paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future; therefore, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero.

Note 14 PREFERRED STOCK
Series A Preferred Stock
In August 2021, the Company issued shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at an issue price of $ per share to certain investors. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting and non-redeemable. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have priority over the holders of Common Stock of the Company on the assets and funds of the Company in a distribution of assets in the event of a liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company.
On July 6, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split for each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of this reverse stock split, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock decreased from 80,000 shares to 1,778 shares.
As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Series B Preferred Stock
On August 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations with the Secretary of State of Nevada, designating up to shares of series B preferred stock, par value $ per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000.
On August 29, 2025, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the “Series B Preferred Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor
(the Series B Preferred Investor”). Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Purchase Agreement, the Company sold
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Series B Preferred Investor at a purchase price of $
per share. The aggregate purchase price received by the Company was $
The key terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:
| · | Dividends: Beginning October 1, 2025, holders are entitled to receive mandatory monthly dividends at an annual rate of | |
| · | Conversion: The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock. The conversion price is $ | |
| · | Ranking: The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to preferences on dividends, distributions, and payments upon liquidation. | |
|
· |
Voting Rights: The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights. | |
|
· |
Redemption: The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the Company’s option at any time. Holders have the option to require the Company to redeem the shares at any time after the two-year anniversary of the initial issuance date. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, holders may require a mandatory redemption at a price equal to 125% of the stated value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. |
The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event that is not solely within the control of the Company and is classified as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying values of Series B Preferred Stock have not been adjusted to their liquidation preferences as these events have not occurred through March 31, 2026. Carrying values will be adjusted to their liquidation preferences if and when it becomes probable that such events will occur.
The conversion feature of the Series B Preferred Stock permits holders to convert into a fixed number of shares of the Common Stock at a fixed conversion price, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Company concluded that the conversion feature qualifies for the equity scope exception under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore was not bifurcated as an embedded derivative.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any financial liabilities subject to amortized cost measurement.
The Series B Preferred Stock was initially recognized at issuance proceeds, net of issuance costs. The Company evaluates whether it is probable that the Series B Preferred Stock will become redeemable. If and when redemption becomes probable, the carrying amount will be accreted to its redemption value.
The carrying amount of the Series B Preferred Stock is not adjusted for discounts through amortization to interest expense. Any differences between the initial carrying amount and the redemption value will be recognized as accretion to redemption value when redemption becomes probable, with corresponding adjustments recorded to retained earnings (or additional paid-in capital, if retained earnings are insufficient).
| 18 |
In 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2018 Stock Option and Award Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of equity-based awards to employees and non-employee service providers. As of March 31, 2026, shares of Common Stock remained available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.
Warrants
The Company granted equity-based awards, primarily in the form of warrants, in exchange for services rendered. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding warrants issued to officers, directors, and employees to purchase shares of Common Stock. Refer to Note 11 Warrant – Class A and Class B Warrants.

Note 16 INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiary, and the consolidated VIE file tax returns separately.
United States
The Company evaluated the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion on current earnings and profits of greater than 10% owned foreign controlled corporations. The Company has evaluated whether it has additional provision amount resulted by the GILTI inclusion on current earnings and profits of its foreign controlled corporations. The law also provides that corporate taxpayers may benefit from a 50% reduction in the GILTI inclusion, which effectively reduces the 21% U.S. corporate tax rate on the foreign income to an effective rate of 10.5%. The GILTI inclusion further provides for a foreign tax credit in connection with the foreign taxes paid.
PRC
A Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise and the
consolidated VIE established in the PRC are subject to the PRC statutory income tax rate of
Taiwan
The Company’s loss before income taxes is primarily derived from the operations in Taiwan and income tax expense is primarily incurred in Taiwan. The statutory income tax rate in Taiwan is 20%. An additional surtax of 5%, is assessed on undistributed income for the entities in Taiwan, but only to the extent such income is not distributed or set aside as a legal reserve before the end of the following year. The 5% surtax is recorded in the period the income is earned, and the reduction in the surtax liability is recognized in the period the distribution to stockholders or the setting aside of legal reserve is finalized in the following year.

The valuation allowance as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was primarily provided for the deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before the Company is able to realize its benefits, or that the future deductibility is uncertain. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or utilizable. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The movement for the valuation allowance is as following.

The Company reported stockholders’ equity of $(440,735) as of December 31, 2025, and does not currently meet the alternative continued listing standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
Strategic Advisory Agreement
On May 18, 2026, the Company entered into a Strategic Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Phoenix MGMT & Consulting LLC ("Phoenix"), pursuant to which Phoenix provides non-exclusive strategic advisory and execution support services to the Company. The initial term is 90 days, subject to extension by mutual written agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 15 days' written notice following an uncured material breach by the other party.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Phoenix an initial retainer of $150,000 for the first 30 days, followed by $50,000 per month thereafter, plus $50,000 of restricted common stock per quarter, valued based on the five-day volume-weighted average price prior to issuance.
In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Phoenix a transaction fee equal to 5% of the value of any merger, acquisition, joint venture, or similar transaction consummated during the term that Phoenix introduces, structures, or materially advances, payable 50% in cash and 50% in common stock. No such transaction fee had been earned or was payable as of June 30, 2026, as no qualifying transaction had been introduced or consummated during the period.
Equity Purchase Facility Agreement
On May 22, 2026, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Facility Agreement ("EPFA") with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell up to $100 million of newly issued shares of common stock (the "Advance Shares") to the investor over a 24-month commitment period commencing on the EPFA date, at the Company's sole discretion and without any mandatory minimum amount or non-usage fee.
The investor's ownership is limited to 4.99% of outstanding shares, and increasable to 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice. Absent stockholder approval under Nasdaq rules, aggregate shares issuable under the EPFA may not exceed 19.99% of shares outstanding as of the EPFA date. During the Additional Issuance Restricted Period defined in the EPFA, the investor has a right of first refusal on subsequent placements, and the Company is prohibited from entering into variable rate transaction defined in the EPFA, subject to customary exceptions.
| 24 |
The EPFA will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the EPFA, (ii) the investor's purchase of Advance Shares equal to the full $100 million commitment, or (iii) a material restatement of the Company's financial statements for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters.
In connection with the EPFA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement obligating it to file a registration statement with SEC covering resale of the Advance Shares. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not delivered any advance notice and had not issued any shares or received any proceeds under the EPFA. On July 8, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register for resale up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock (representing approximately $15 million based on the closing price on July 7, 2026) issuable under the EPFA.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 25, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-30 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), pursuant to stockholder authorization obtained at the Company's annual meeting held on January 12, 2026. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on July 6, 2026, at which time every 30 shares of common stock issued and outstanding were automatically combined into one share, without any change in par value. Immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 46,806,289 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were reduced to 1,560,210 shares. No fractional shares were issued; holders otherwise entitled to a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. Proportionate adjustments were made to the exercise prices and number of shares issuable under all outstanding stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units, as well as shares reserved under the Company's equity incentive plans. The Reverse Stock Split was undertaken to enable the Company to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, all share and per-share amounts presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Letter of Intent with INERGX Energy Optimisation Ltd.
On July 6, 2026, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with INERGX Energy Optimisation Ltd ("INERGX"), a company incorporated in England and Wales, regarding the Company's proposed acquisition of up to 9.99% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of INERGX (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction may be structured as a stock purchase, share exchange, contribution, recapitalization, or other mutually agreed structure, with consideration consisting of a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock in proportions to be determined in definitive documentation. Valuation assumptions under the LOI remain preliminary and subject to the Company's due diligence review, and no purchase price or other economic term will be final unless and until set forth in a definitive agreement. Consummation of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to, among other things, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement, and receipt of any required board, regulatory, third-party, and stockholder approvals. The LOI does not obligate either party to consummate the Proposed Transaction and terminates upon the earliest of execution of a definitive agreement, mutual written agreement, 30 days' prior written notice by either party, or the 90th day following the date of the LOI. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. Because the LOI does not obligate the parties to consummate the transaction and its economic terms remain preliminary, the Company has not recognized any financial statement impact related to the LOI as of the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In addition, our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties, please see the items listed under the section captioned “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein as well as any other cautionary language and risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026, as amended on April 21, 2026. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operations Overview
Our business operations consist primarily of our Fish Trading and E-Commerce segments, which are administered through NTB and Xinca, respectively. In addition, in 2025, the Company made substantial equity investments in two e-commerce companies, one based in the United States and the other in France, and we maintain a legacy RAS design and consulting business. Beginning in January 2026, we embarked on a corporate treasury strategy, with a current emphasis on Bitcoin, in which we have invested $2.0 million to date.
Key Factors Affecting our Performance
As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations may not be comparable to our results of operations in future periods, and our results of operations may not be directly comparable from period to period. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors impacting our results of operations.
As part of our long-term growth strategy, we may allocate capital toward selective acquisitions or strategic investments that we believe could enhance our operating platform and diversify our revenue base. We intend to evaluate potential targets based on financial performance, scalability, regulatory considerations, and strategic alignment with our core competencies. Any acquisition would be subject to due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, availability of financing, and applicable regulatory approvals. Acquisitions involve inherent risks, including integration challenges, potential dilution, assumption of liabilities, and diversion of management attention. There can be no assurance that any contemplated transaction will be identified or consummated, or that any completed transaction will achieve the anticipated benefits.
Known Trends and Uncertainties
Inflation
Prices of certain commodity products, including raw materials, are historically volatile and are subject to fluctuations arising from changes in domestic and international supply and demand, labor costs, competition, market speculation, government regulations, trade restrictions and tariffs. Increasing prices in the component materials for our goods may impact the availability, the quality and the price of our products, as suppliers search for alternatives to existing materials and increase the prices they charge. Our suppliers may also fail to provide consistent quality of products as they may substitute lower cost materials to maintain pricing levels. Nocera’s cost base also reflects significant elements for freight, including fuel, which has significantly increased due to the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflicts in the Middle East. Rapid and significant changes in commodity prices such as fuel and plastic may negatively affect our profit margins if Nocera is unable to mitigate any inflationary increases through various customer pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives.

Our operations could be disrupted by geopolitical conditions, trade disputes, international boycotts and sanctions, political and social instability, acts of war, terrorist activity or other similar events. From time to time, we could have a large revenue stream associated with a particular customer or a large number of customers located in a particular geographic region. Decreased demand from a discrete event impacting a specific customer, industry or region in which we have a concentrated exposure could negatively impact our results of operations.
In February 2022, Russia initiated significant military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business and financial organizations, and the U.S. and certain other countries could impose further sanctions, trade restrictions and other retaliatory actions should the conflict continue or worsen. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the conflict, including related geopolitical tensions and the measures and retaliatory actions taken by the U.S. and other countries in respect thereof as well as any counter measures or retaliatory actions by Russia or Belarus in response, including, for example, potential cyberattacks or the disruption of energy exports, is likely to cause regional instability, geopolitical shifts and could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. The situation remains uncertain, and while it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict could increase our costs, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Foreign Currency
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in Taiwan use their local currency as their functional currencies. Substantially all of our revenue and expenses are in NT dollars. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of such currency. For example, the value of the NT dollar depends to a large extent on Taiwan government policies and Taiwan’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the local market.
The income statements of our operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026, as amended on April 21, 2026. Except for the newly adopted accounting policy related to our investments in crypto assets during the first quarter of 2026, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025. For further information regarding our accounting policy for crypto assets and the related fair value measurements, please refer to Note 9—Digital Assets to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $2.3 million, compared to approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decline in revenue generated from the Company’s fish trading business.
Fish Trading Business: For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the fish trading business decreased in volume compared to the comparable period in 2025. Volume decreased from approximately 193 tons to approximately 140 tons, while the average selling price of eels increased from approximately $15.16 to approximately $15.93 per kilogram.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $42 thousand, compared to approximately $47 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the disposal of SY Culture in the Company’s e-commerce business during the second quarter of 2025.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $559 thousand, compared to approximately $334 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to costs of wages and reimbursements fees generated from employees.
Other income (expense)
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $697 thousand, compared to other income approximately $25.8 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to loss of investment of Tachyonext and Bitcoin and a non-cash loss related to the fair value measurement of warrant liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Going Concern
| · | On October 31, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, in multiple closings, a new series of senior secured convertible notes in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $300,000,000 (the “Notes”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions. | |
| · | On November 3, 2025, we consummated the initial closing under the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor the Note, which was a senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $8,000,000 for a purchase price of $7,280,000, reflecting an original issue discount of $720,000. The Note is convertible into shares of our Common Stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (A) the lower of: (i) $2.01, and (ii) the average of the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the applicable Closing, and (B) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date; provided, however, that in no event will the conversion price be less than the floor price then in effect (subject to customary adjustments and the applicable limitations under Nasdaq Listing Rules). The Note bears interest at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, payable monthly in arrears, matures on November 3, 2027 and contains customary events of default (upon which the interest rate will increase to a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum). Subject to certain conditions described in the Purchase Agreement, we have the option to request that the Investor purchase additional notes (the “Company’s Option Closing”), and the Investor has the option to cause us to sell additional notes (the “Investor’s Option Closing”), provided that the aggregate original principal amount of any notes issued in such subsequent closings with respect to Company’s Option Closing and the Investor’s Option Closing shall not exceed $8,000,000 individually, and not more than $292,000,000 in the aggregate. |
