UNAUDITEDPRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Introduction


The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of FDCTech, Inc. (the “Company,” “FDCTech,” “we,” or “us”) and Alchemy Markets Limited [“Alchemy (Malta) or “NSFX”)] present the historical financial information of FDCtech adjusted with Alchemy (Malta) to give effect to the acquisition of 50.10% of Alchemy (Malta) by the FDCTech. We have prepared the following unaudited pro forma combined financial information following Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, incorporates the historical unaudited condensed balance sheet of FDCTech and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Alchemy (Malta) as of June 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on June 30, 2023, which is the actual Acquisition Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, combines the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of FDCTech and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Alchemy (Malta) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition and related transaction summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, combines the historical audited statement of operations of FDCTech and the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Alchemy (Malta) for such period on a pro forma basis assuming FDCTech consummated the acquisition and related transactions on January 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been developed and should be read in conjunction with:

the<br> accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements;
the<br> audited consolidated financial statements of FDCTech as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes thereto;
the<br> unaudited six months condensed consolidated financial statements of FDCTech as of June 30, 2023, and the related notes thereto;
the<br> audited consolidated financial statements of Alchemy (Malta) as of November 30, 2022, and the related notes thereto;
the<br> unaudited six months condensed consolidated financial statements of Alchemy (Malta) as of June 30, 2023, and the related notes thereto;
the<br> section entitled “FDCTech Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”<br> and other financial information relating to FDCTech included reports filed with the SEC or elsewhere or incorporated by reference<br> in this 8-K; and

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only. It does not necessarily reflect what the combined entity’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined entity. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to various factors. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments outlined in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. FDCTech believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the acquisition based on information available to Management at this time and that the transaction accounting adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, including but not limited to the following:

FDCTech has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances concerning Alchemy (Malta) immediately after the Closing;

The relative voting rights. FDCTech holds the majority of Alchemy (Malta) ‘s voting rights; therefore, we are the accounting<br> acquirer.
The composition of the governing body. FDCTech is the governing body of Alchemy (Malta), and we are the accounting acquirer.
The composition of the senior Management. If the senior Management comprises primarily the management personnel from one of the combining<br> entities, that entity is likely the accounting acquirer.

We have determined the method of accounting for the business combination. The accounting acquirer applies the acquisition method and recognizes the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of Alchemy (Malta) ‘s assets and liabilities equal their carrying amounts. Therefore, we did not need any adjustments to the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities on FDCTech’s balance sheet.

NOTESTO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currencyexpressed in United States Dollars)

(Unaudited)


We have based the following unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements on the historical financial statements of FDCTech, Inc. (“FDCTech” or the “Company”) and Alchemy Markets Limited (“Alchemy (Malta)”) after giving effect to our Acquisition of Alchemy (Malta) (“the Acquisition”) and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements.

Note1. Description of Acquisition

On December 31, 2022, FDCTech announced the sales purchase agreement (“Agreement”) under which FDCTech acquired a 50.10% equity interest in New Star Capital Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“New Star”) and its operating subsidiary Alchemy Markets Ltd. or Alchemy (Malta) formerly known as NSFX Ltd. Alchemy (Malta) is an online trading brokerage firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). FDCTech will assume a business acquisition loan liability of $350,000 to purchase the controlling interest in Alchemy (Malta).

FDCtech amended the Agreement to February 28, 2023, to comply with the BVI Companies Act requirement for the change of ownership. FDCTech consolidated the fair value of Alchemy (Malta) ‘s assets and liabilities on or on June 30, 2023 (“the Acquisition Date”). FDCTech closed Alchemy (Malta) transactions as of June 30, 2023.

Alchemy (Malta) is authorized to deal with its account (market maker) as a Category 3 licensed entity by the MFSA, receive and transmit orders for retail and professional clients, and hold and control clients’ money and assets. Alchemy (Malta) services its customers in the English, French, German, Italian, and Arabic-speaking markets. The customers can trade in currency, commodity, equity, and other derivatives in real-time.

Note1. Basis of Proforma Presentation

The unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect what FDCTech’s operational results or financial status would have been if the acquisition had taken place on the given dates. These proformas should not be viewed as predictors of future operational outcomes or FDCTech’s financial standing.

The unaudited proforma financial statements, including its notes, do not reflect any potential operating efficiencies and cost savings that FDCTech may achieve concerning the combined companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, incorporates the historical unaudited condensed balance sheet of FDCTech and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Alchemy (Malta) as of June 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on June 30, 2023, which is the actual Acquisition Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, combines the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of FDCTech and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Alchemy (Malta) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition and related transaction summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2022.

PurchasePrice Allocation

On December 31, 2022, FDCTech announced the sales purchase agreement (“Agreement”) under which FDCTech acquired a 50.10% equity interest in New Star Capital Trading Ltd., a British Virgin Island company (“New Star”) and its operating subsidiary Alchemy Markets Ltd. or Alchemy (Malta) formerly known as NSFX Ltd. Alchemy (Malta) is an online trading brokerage firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). FDCTech will assume a business acquisition loan liability of $350,000 to purchase the controlling interest in Alchemy (Malta).

Alchemy (Malta) ‘s Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 (Acquisition Date):

Description Fair value,
Cash and cash equivalents (1)
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (2)
Receivables (3)
Fixed assets (4)
- Current liabilities (5) )
- Deferred tax liabilities (6) )
Net assets (A)
Purchase Price 50.10% (B)
Noncontrolling interest (C), 49.90%
FDCTech gain on bargain purchase (A) – (B) – (C)

All values are in US Dollars.

(1) We<br> recognize cash and cash equivalents held by Alchemy (Malta) and deposits in bank accounts that can be accessed on demand or within<br> 90 days. They are included in our cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. We hold client<br> funds held by Alchemy (Malta) in the normal course of business in a fiduciary capacity; we do not include such funds in these financial<br> statements.
(2) Financial<br> assets at fair values (or other current assets) for Alchemy (Malta) through profit and loss are derivative contracts in favor of<br> Alchemy (Malta). They are included in our other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. We determine<br> financial assets at fair values by reference to market prices or rates quoted at the end of the reporting period. Observable market<br> prices or rates support the valuation techniques since their variables include only data from observable markets. We categorize Alchemy<br> (Malta) ‘s derivative financial instruments as level 2.
(3) Alchemy<br> (Malta) ‘s receivables mostly consist of amounts due from previous shareholders of New Star and are included in our accounts<br> receivable in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.
(4) All<br> property and equipment are initially recorded at historical cost and included in our fixed assets, net in the consolidated balance<br> sheet as of June 30, 2023. Historical cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. We calculate<br> depreciation using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over their estimated<br> useful lives.
(5) We<br> recognize deferred tax using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their<br> carrying amounts in the financial statements. We include deferred tax liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,<br> 2023. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred tax is<br> not accounted for if it stems from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination<br> that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates<br> (and Malta laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when<br> the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.
