\* Including $528,299 and $54,633 from related parties for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*(1) Listing service fees*: Our performance obligation is to provide listings on our platform. Listing service fees are calculated based on a percentage of the listing value of collectibles, artwork and commodities. Listing value is the total offering price of the collectible, artwork and commodities when the ownership of the units are initially listed on our trading platforms. We utilize an appraised value as a basis to determine the appropriate listing value for each collectible, artwork or commodities, or portfolio of collectibles, artwork or commodities. We recognize the related revenue upon our completion of our performance obligation to the customer and its item is successfully listed for trading on our platforms.

Total listing service fees decreased by $86,603 or 83.4% from $103,807 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $17,204 for the same period in 2025. Our listing service fees are calculated based on a percentage of the listing value of collectibles, artwork and commodities of new products. The decrease in the value generated by new product listings was mainly due to the decrease of the numbers of new products which caused by the negative impact from the freezing of bank accounts due to the investigation against our related party and two shareholders starting in the second half of 2022 as we had a hard time to retain new clients since then.

*(2) Transaction fee revenue*: Transaction fee revenue is generally calculated based on the transaction value of collectibles, artwork or commodities per transaction for our services to facilitate the trading transactions. Transaction value is the dollar amount of the purchase and sale of the collectibles, artwork or commodities after it is listed on our platform.

Total transaction fee revenue decreased by $111,678 or 37.7% from $296,379 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $184,701 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was mainly due to negative impact from the freezing of bank accounts due to the investigation of our related party and two shareholders that started in second half of 2022 which reduced overall customers transactions.

*(3) Marketing service fees*: Marketing service fees are what we charge for promoting and marketing our customers' collectible or artwork. The services include assisting our customers in connection with his/her listing and trading of his/her collectible/artwork on our platform, which mainly includes consulting and supporting services of the marketability for the collectible/artwork; assessing its market value and market acceptance for the collectible/artwork; and assisting in the application and legal protection required for the customer's collectible/artwork to be approved for listing on our platform. For marketing service contracts in which the related performance obligations can be completed within a short period of time, the Company recognizes the related revenue upon the completion of its performance obligations.

Marketing service fees decreased by $69,664 or 44.4% from $156,995 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $87,331 for the same period in 2025. The decrease was due to the decrease in demand for marketing services from customers to promote their listed items.

*(4) Account Management Fees:* Account management fees are charged as a fixed monthly fee per customer account for providing continuous account maintenance and management services. The transaction price is a fixed monthly amount per account as stipulated in the customer agreement, with no variable consideration. Account management fee revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line monthly basis as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Account management fees were $861,347 for the year ended December 31, 2025. As a newly added revenue derived from the development of the Company's existing business, it reflects the Company's ability to diversify its revenue mix and enhance sustainable profitability while further tapping into the value of its existing customer base.

*(5) Warehousing Service Fee:* Warehousing service fees are charged for providing professional storage and preservation services for customers' collectibles listed on the platform. The fee is calculated daily based on the listed reference price of the collectible, a fixed daily rate, and the quantity of collectibles held by the customer. Warehousing service fee revenue is recognized over time on a daily basis as the performance obligation is satisfied, as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the warehousing services simultaneously as the Company performs them.

Warehousing service fees amounted to $209,966 for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a new revenue stream generated from the Company's existing business development.

*(6) System maintenance and technical support services primarily consist of system development and maintenance, platform operation technical support, IT infrastructure support and data processing and data services.
