Investment in warrants represents stock warrants earned from its consulting service customers. The warrants are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in warrants is classified as long-term if the warrants are exercisable over one year after the date of receipt.

Investments in marketable securities represent equity securities registered for public sale with readily determinable fair value. The marketable securities are obtained through stocks of its customers received as noncash consideration from consulting services and through exercise of stock warrants of its consulting service customers and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses).

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The functional currency of HeartCore Japan and HeartCore Financial – Japan is the Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The functional currency of HeartCore USA, HeartCore Financial and Sigmaways is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of Sigmaways B.V. is the Euro (“EUR”). The functional currency of Sigmaways Technologies is the Canada Dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of HeartCore Luvina is the Vietnam Dong (“VND”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rate prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands and nil of gross sales in the United States.

The Company currently generates its revenues from the following main sources:

Revenues from On-premise Software

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customers with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customers. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenues from on-premise licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customers. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customers with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support services. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

Revenues from Maintenance and Support Services

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

Revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer contract term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customers. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

Revenues from Software Development and Other Miscellaneous Services

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D Space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

Revenues from Customized Software Development and Services

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

Revenues from Consulting Services

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting services contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of stocks and warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

Sales Returns and Allowances

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company determines that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable, current or non-current, in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balance are approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts by product/service types, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, note receivable and other receivable. The Company usually does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no vendor accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases.

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, requires use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company (see NOTE 18). 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

When the Company issues Series A convertible preferred shares (see NOTE 16), it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of the Series A convertible preferred shares would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, as a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an embedded derivative under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC Topic 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing equity shares that are readily convertible to cash.

The Company assesses the Series A convertible preferred shares as a whole and determines it does not meet the liability classification pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and the Company classifies the host instrument as permanent equity because no features provide for redemption by the holders of the Series A convertible preferred shares or conditional redemption, which is not solely within the Company’s control, and there are no unconditional obligations in that (1) the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares, and (2) the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varying with something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares or varying inversely in relation to the Company’s equity shares.

The Company assesses the conversion feature of the Series A convertible preferred shares for derivative accounting consideration and determines it meets the definition of an embedded derivative, which is separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company values the fair value of derivative liability using the income approach with the discounted cash flow valuation method with the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser. The determination of fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted cash flows and discount rate.

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined 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 Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying values of current assets, except for investments in marketable securities, and current liabilities, except for derivative liability, approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
