NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Global Interactive Technologies, Inc. (“GITS” or the “Company”), formerly known as Hanryu Holdings, Inc., is a Delaware corporation engaged in the development and operation of FANING, a global digital fan engagement platform focused on Korean entertainment and culture, including K-pop. The FANING platform is designed to enable users to consume, create, share, and engage with digital content and fan communities across mobile and web-based services.
In 2024, the Company acquired 100% ownership of FANING KOREA, LLC, a South Korean subsidiary that provides support for the Company’s operations in South Korea.
Corporate History
Since the inception of Global Interactive Technologies, Inc in 2018, we have accomplished a number of key objectives, as follows:
HBC consummates an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with RnDeep, Co. Ltd, a Korean corporation (“RnDeep”), pursuant to which RnDeep merged with and into HBC, with HBC continuing as the surviving corporation (the “RnDeep Acquisition”). As consideration for the RnDeep Acquisition, HBC ratably issued a total 4,150,000 HBC common shares, par value $0.45 per share (“Common Shares”), to the former shareholders of RnDeep.
As a result of the RnDeep Acquisition, HBC acquired the underlying technologies that the Company plans on utilizing in the future development of new functions and integrations within the FANTOO platform. Once the FANTOO platform is ready to integrate the technology acquired, this technology will support new functions and integrations including, without limitation, the Company’s enterprise resource planning solution, and its artificial intelligence (“AI”), which the Company plans on using to power many of FANTOO’s upcoming features such as speech synthesis, curated content delivery, deepfake detection and blocking, and nudity detection and blocking.
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)
HBC consummates a strategic acquisition of 50.8% of the outstanding common shares of K-Commerce. In consideration for the shares of K-Commerce, HBC forgave a short-term loan of $270,530 (KRW 309,600,000) owed to HBC by K-Commerce.
HBC’s investment into K-Commerce was a strategic acquisition in order to integrate K-Commerce’s retail platform, “SelloveLive” into the FANTOO ecosystem as the FANTOO Fanshop. When launched as the FANTOO Fanshop, K-Commerce’s platform will offer combined services of shopping and live broadcasting, allowing users to easily live-stream travel and share local attractions, local festivals, cultures, and news from around the world.
Prior to HBC’s acquisition of its shares in K-Commerce, K-Commerce was 100% owned by Changhyuk Kang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Donghoon Park, the Company’s Chief Marketing Officer.
Hanryu Holdings, HBC, and the shareholders of HBC (the “HBC Shareholders”) enter into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the HBC Shareholders agreed to assign, transfer, and deliver, free and clear of all liens, 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, representing 100% of the voting securities in HBC, to the Company in exchange for the Company issuing 42,565,786 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) to the HBC Shareholders (the “Share Exchange”).
Concurrently with entering into the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, HBC, and the holders (the “HBC Warrantholders”) of all outstanding warrants to purchase Common Shares (“HBC Warrants”) enter into a warrant exchange agreement, pursuant to which the HBC Warrantholders agreed to assign, transfer, and delivery, free and clear of any liens, 100% of the outstanding HBC Warrants to the Company in exchange for the Company issuing to the HBC Warrantholders 10,046,666 warrants to purchase restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Exchange”).
The Warrants and Common Shares of HBC transferred to the Company in the Share Exchange and the Warrant Exchange constituted 100% of the outstanding equity securities of HBC.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $43,031,188 and a working capital deficiency of $1,130,771. In addition, the Company incurred an net loss of $496,993 for the period ended March 31, 2026.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months after the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management intends to address these conditions by continuing the launch and commercialization of the upgraded Faning 2.0 platform, pursuing K-food products and entertainment-related business ventures, seeking to increase user engagement and monetization, controlling operating costs, and pursuing additional capital through equity financings, borrowings, or other available financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing these plans or that sufficient funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Interactive Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, FANING KOREA, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Foreign Currency
The Company’s functional currency for all operations is the KRW. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in KRW, and translated into U.S. Dollars at year-end for the purposes of presentation. During the translation process, the year-end closing exchange rate is used for the valuation of all assets and liabilities, historical exchange rate is used to value stockholder’s equity, and the average exchange rate for the year is used for the calculation of the consolidated financial statements. The net impact of the translation into the U.S. Dollar is included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. During the periods ended March 31, 2026, there was a fluctuation in the exchange rates ranging from KRW 1,427.93/USD $1 to KRW 1,517.13/USD $1. Also, cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant estimates and assumptions include:
Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the federal insurance limit.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an Allowance for credit losses for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its Allowance for credit losses quarterly. Past-due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company recorded the allowance of $0 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Non-Trade Receivables
Non-trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on non-trade receivables are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its non-trade receivables portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Past-due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company’s current and anticipated revenue sources primarily relate to the FANING platform and related digital services, including subscriptions, in-app purchases, advertising services, digital platform services, user engagement services, content-related services, commissions, and other platform-based monetization activities.
Revenue is recognized when the applicable performance obligations are satisfied. For subscription-based services, revenue is recognized over the subscription period. Revenue from in-app purchases, digital engagement services, advertising, platform services, and content-related services is generally recognized at the point in time or over the period in which the applicable services are provided. Amounts billed or collected in advance of satisfying performance obligations are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company evaluates whether it acts as principal or agent in revenue transactions in accordance with ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations. Revenue is reported on a gross basis when the Company controls the promised goods or services prior to transfer to the customer and on a net basis when the Company acts as an agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by another party.
For the period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $96 and $0, respectively, primarily related to service-based activities.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs directly related to the Company’s revenue-generating activities, including platform service costs, third-party service fees, payment processing fees, hosting and infrastructure expenses, content-related costs, direct labor, telecommunication costs, travel, postage, vehicle charges, printing, training, and other direct costs associated with providing goods or services to customers. Amortization of capitalized software used in the Company’s platform is included in operating expenses and is not included in cost of revenue unless the related software amortization is directly attributable to revenue-generating activities. Cost of revenue also includes allocated indirect costs related to revenue-generating activities, such as supplies, utilities, office equipment rental, software, computers, and other office-related costs.
Cost of revenue is recognized as the related goods or services are delivered or provided to customers.
Capitalized Software
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred to develop internal-use software when the preliminary project stage is completed, management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives once the software is ready for its intended use.
Amortization expense related to capitalized software is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, amortization expense related to capitalized software was included in operating expenses.
Property Plant and Equipment
Property plant and equipment are carried at cost (see Note 5). Depreciation expense is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight line method for vehicles and the declining balance method for fixtures and equipment. A summary of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Estimated
Useful Life
in Years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while any additions or improvements are capitalized.
The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews operating lease right-of-use assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company may maintain deposits in financial institutions in excess of government insured limits. The Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk as its deposits are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality and the Company has not experienced any losses on these deposits. The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk in its accounts receivable and loans. Credit risk with respect to receivables is limited due to the number of companies comprising the Company’s customer base. Credit risk with respect to loans is limited since they are made principally related to the collaborative activities between the Company and loan holders. Since the Company is directly affected by the financial condition of its customers and loan holders, management carefully watch if any significant credit risks exist, and they will make actions to remove or mitigate such risks if there are any. The Company had accounts receivable balances of $25 and $46 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company believes that the credit risk related to accounts receivable is manageable and controllable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other securities to support its accounts receivable and loans.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt receivables, debt payables approximate their recorded amounts due to their relatively short settlement terms.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value.
A change to the level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is determined at the end of a reporting period.
Earning (Loss) Per Share
Basic earning (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for the applicable period. Diluted earning (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for the applicable period, including the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive Common Stock equivalents primarily consist of warrants issued in connection with financings. For purposes of computing both basic and diluted earning (loss) per share, income or loss shall exclude the income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest. The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share amounts have been computed by dividing net loss excluded loss attributable to the non-controlling interest by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported net losses and, accordingly, potential common shares were not included since such inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, our basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because the Company generated a net loss in all periods presented.
Lease
Under ASC 842, the determination of whether an arrangement is a lease is made at the lease’s inception and a contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is defined under the standard as having both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Management only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement. Operating lease ROU assets also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately with amounts allocated to the lease and non-lease components based on stand-alone prices or for which it has made an accounting policy election to account for these as a single lease component. For certain equipment leases, like vehicles, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosures required as a result of the adoption of this new standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This update requires public business entities to provide enhanced annual disclosures primarily focused on the rate reconciliation table and expanded disclosures for income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated this standard and determined that its adoption does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, given the full valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (as clarified by ASU 2025-01 in January 2025), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This standard requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items (such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
The Company has evaluated, or is in the process of evaluating, the potential impact of these new accounting standards on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on its current assessment, management does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor developments and evaluate the impact of these standards, including any additional interpretive guidance that may be issued prior to adoption.

SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Total depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are $167 and $303. Depreciation expense is reflected in operating cost and expenses in the Condensed Consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 5 — SOFTWARE
The Company acquired the SOFTWARE through an asset transfer agreement with its former subsidiary, Hanryu Bank Co., Ltd., from which it sold all equity interest in December 2024, and through the transfer of the Faning APPLICATION. The Company recognized the acquisition cost of $4,940,000 based on the appraised value determined by an independent valuation firm.
This software has been accounted for as an intangible asset in accordance with ASC 350 – Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.
The software is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5 years. Starting in 2025, amortization expenses related to the software will be recognized as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company reviews the software for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2025, management identified impairment indicators, including the Company’s limited revenue generation from the Faning platform, continuing operating losses, and early-stage commercialization status. As a result, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the software and recognized an impairment loss of $1,019,611 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The impairment loss is included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying value of software consisted of the following:
SCHEDULE OF SOFTWARE ASSETS AND DETERMINED
Amortization expense related to software was $189,316 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. $1,021,192 amortization expense was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $0 for the period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1,019,611for the year ended December 31, 2025.
NOTE 6 — LEASE
The Company uses approximately 19,200 square feet of office space at the Seoul Marina free of charge. Although there is no formal lease agreement, the Company determined that the ASC 842 accounting standard applies and recognized the fair value of the rent-free use of the property through May 2031 as a right-of-use (ROU) asset, with corresponding lease expense recognized in the statement of operations.
At the time of initial acquisition from Seoul Marina Co., Ltd. “SMC” in July 2021, the Company used the following assumptions:
Based on the assumptions outlined, the Company calculated the present value of 10 years of free rent to be $2,775,512 and recognized it as a long-term right-of-use (ROU) asset as of September 30, 2021. Since the space was provided free of charge, no lease liability was recognized. The ROU asset was amortized at approximately $23,000 per month over the 10-year lease term.
As the Company initially allocated $2,935,658 to the SMC receivable and leasehold rights, an impairment loss of $158,278 was recognized on the ROU asset as of December 31, 2021.
In December 2024, the Company sold its entire equity interest in Hanryu Bank Co., Ltd. (“HBC”), a subsidiary that held the rent-free rights to the Seoul Marina building. However, through an asset transfer agreement between the Company and HBC, the Company acquired the rent-free rights to the Seoul Marina building. The transfer amount was based on the net book value of the ROU asset as of the contract date and was offset against the Company’s outstanding loan receivable. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the ROU asset were $1,209,718 and $1,264,546, respectively. Lease cost is $56,328 for the period ended March 31, 2026. The carrying amount of the ROU asset reflects the exchange rate fluctuation from 1,427.93 KRW/USD to 1,517.13KRW/USD for the period ended March 31, 2026.

There are no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
Non-financial Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company’s long-lived assets, including capitalized software, operating lease right-of-use assets, and other finite-lived assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified impairment indicators related to its capitalized software asset, including limited current revenue generation, continuing operating losses, and revised expectations regarding the timing of commercialization of the Faning platform. As a result, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the asset and recognized an impairment loss of $1,019,611 during the year ended December 31, 2025. The impairment loss is included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not identify impairment indicators related to its capitalized software asset for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The fair value measurement related to the software impairment was based on significant unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Technique and Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
The fair value of the Faning software intangible asset as of December 31, 2025 was estimated using the Relief-from-Royalty (RfR) method, an income approach. Under the Relief-from-Royalty method, fair value is measured as the present value of the after-tax royalty payments that the Company would hypothetically be required to pay to license the Asset from a third party, assuming the Company did not own it. The hypothetical royalty payments were projected over a discrete four-year forecast period (FY2026 through FY2029), tax-effected at an assumed statutory rate, and discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. A mid-year discounting convention was applied to reflect the assumption that cash flows are received evenly throughout each year.
The fair value measurement is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it relies on significant unobservable inputs, including projected revenues, royalty rate, discount rate, effective tax rate, and management assumptions regarding future monetization of the platform. The forecast was prepared by management based on the early-stage nature of the platform, observed user-acquisition economics, and expected pricing and conversion characteristics of comparable consumer social platforms.
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 fair value measurement of the Faning software intangible asset as of December 31, 2025.
SCHEDULE OF UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS IN LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Value as of
December 31, 2025
The projected revenue assumptions incorporate management’s estimates of user growth, user retention, conversion rates, subscription pricing, in-app purchase activity, advertising monetization, and customer acquisition trends.
The fair value measurement is sensitive to changes in significant unobservable inputs. Increases in projected revenues, royalty rate, subscription conversion rate, or MAU conversion rate would increase the estimated fair value, while increases in the discount rate or effective tax rate would decrease the estimated fair value.
Reconciliation to Impairment Loss
Application of the Relief-from-Royalty method resulted in an estimated fair value for the Faning software intangible asset of $3,029,061as of December 31, 2025. Because the indicated fair value was below the Asset’s pre-impairment carrying amount, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $1,019,611during the year ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with ASC 350-30-35. There was no impairment losses recognized on the Faning software intangible asset during the period ended March 31, 2026.
Nonfinancial Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
There are no nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Nonfinancial Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The fair value of long-lived assets is measured whenever the carrying value of long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis. Except for the intangible asset impairment disclosed in Note 9, no impairment is recognized for long-lived assets as of as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company’s wholly-owned Korean subsidiary, Faning Korea, LLC was acquired in December 2024. Net operating losses generated under the Korean Corporate Tax Act may be carried forward for up to 15 years. Based on management’s evaluation of available evidence, no separate deferred tax asset has been recognized for the Korean tax loss carryforwards, as the related amounts are not material to the consolidated financial statements and any deferred tax asset recognized would be fully offset by a valuation allowance.
The parent company, Global Interactive Technologies, Inc. generated approximately $7.7 million net operating loss. Utilization of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation under IRC 382.
Movements in the valuation allowance for the period ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended 2025 were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Global Interactive Technologies, Inc. (“Global Interactive Technologies” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation operating and developing Faning, a global digital fan engagement platform focused on Korean entertainment and culture, including K-pop.
Faning is designed to support online fan communities, user interaction, multilingual communication, and digital engagement experiences across mobile and web-based services. The platform evolved from the legacy Fantoo platform ecosystem.
The Company’s primary operational focus has been the continued development, maintenance, and support of the Faning platform, along with preparation for future commercialization initiatives. The Company also focused on public company compliance activities, operational restructuring, and financing initiatives.
Although the Company continued developing monetization-related functionality including digital engagement features, subscription-related functionality, and advertising infrastructure, the Faning platform remained in an early-stage commercialization phase as of March 31, 2026. Revenue generated from the platform during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the three months of March 31, 2026 remained limited.
The Company believes that continued global interest in Korean entertainment and culture may create future opportunities for user engagement and platform growth; however, the Company’s future growth and commercialization efforts remain subject to substantial uncertainty, including user adoption, successful execution of monetization initiatives, availability of capital resources, and overall market conditions.
Faning Platform
The Faning platform includes community engagement tools, messaging and communication features, multilingual support functionality, user-generated content capabilities, and digital participation systems intended to facilitate interaction among users with shared entertainment and cultural interests.
The Company has also explored and developed various monetization initiatives associated with the platform, including digital engagement tools, subscription-related functionality, advertising infrastructure, and other fandom-related digital services. As of March 31, 2026, these monetization initiatives remained in early stages of commercialization.
Key Performance Indicators
Management monitors certain operational metrics and key performance indicators (“KPIs”) to evaluate platform activity and future business opportunities. These metrics include registered users, monthly active users (“MAUs”), average revenue per user (“ARPU”), and user acquisition cost (“UAC”).
The legacy Fantoo platform historically accumulated approximately 26.6 million registered accounts as of December 31, 2024. The Company views this historical registered account base as a potential long-term strategic asset; however, the Company did not complete a migration or reactivation of this historical user base during 2025 or the first three months of March 31, 2026 and cannot currently predict the extent to which such historical users may become active users, retained users, or monetizable users within the Faning platform.
ARPU remained limited during 2025 and the first three months of March 31, 2026 as the Company continued operating in an early-stage commercialization phase. Management expects that future operational performance, if commercialization initiatives are successfully implemented, may depend on user engagement, monetization adoption, marketing efficiency, and broader platform growth initiatives.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenues and Cost of Sales
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $96 compared to sales of $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The revenue sources primarily relate to subscriptions and in-app purchase in the FANING platform.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $496,447 compared to $563,468 during the same three months ended March 31, 2025. The material decrease in expenses is attributable to a decrease in our amortization expenses of intangible asset.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily composed of: Amortization expense of $189,316, lease expense of $56,328, annual fee expense of $56,000, legal and professional fees expense of $101,912, salary expense of $53,650, directors’ fee expense of $36,000, and other general and administrative expenses.

Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of $496,993 or $(0.14) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of $566,681 or $(0.20) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cash flows used in operating activities were $51,737 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash flows used in operating activities $96,330 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same three-month period in 2025, is primarily attributable to decreases in amortization of intangible asset and accounts payable – nontrade offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $49,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $114,660 in cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026, is primarily attributable to a decrease in proceeds from short-term borrowings and proceeds from short-term borrowing from related parties offset by repayment of short-term borrowing from related parties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

We have determined that all other issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements are inapplicable or insignificant to us and once adopted are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in foreign currency and credit.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s functional currency is KRW and reporting currency is USD. FANING KOREA, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned Korean subsidiary, maintains certain local accounts and records in KRW in connection with administrative support activities in South Korea.
As a result, the Company may be exposed to foreign currency risk from fluctuations in exchange rates between KRW and USD with respect to KRW-denominated assets, liabilities, expenses, and cash flows associated with FANING KOREA, LLC’s administrative activities.
The Company does not currently enter into derivative instruments or other hedging transactions to manage foreign currency risk.
Credit Risk
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, deposits, and other balances held with banks and financial institutions may be subject to concentration of credit risk. The Company seeks to place its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of acceptable credit quality.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2026. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.
Management acknowledges the observation and understands the importance of establishing formal risk assessment procedures and strengthening segregation of duties. Due to the Company’s current size and limited resources, certain functions remain concentrated. However, management plans to gradually enhance internal control procedures, including periodic risk assessments and improved review processes, as the Company continues to grow.
Management acknowledges the need to further strengthen the accounting team’s technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue working with external consultants and advisors and will provide additional training and supervision to improve the accuracy and consistency of financial reporting.
Management recognizes the importance of specialized U.S. GAAP expertise. The Company will continue to engage external accounting professionals and technical consultants when necessary and intends to strengthen internal capabilities over time through additional training and recruitment efforts, subject to available resources.
Management acknowledges the deficiency related to the identification and disclosure assessment of related parties. The Company has corrected the public filing through an amended filing and plans to implement enhanced procedures for identifying, documenting, and reviewing related-party relationships and transactions prior to future SEC filings.
These material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures such that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures and concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On December 22, 2025, during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Juhyon Shin, submitted his resignation, which was accepted by the company in March 2026 and was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2026.
During the transition, the Company relied on management oversight and outside accounting and professional advisors to support its financial reporting process. And the Company is currently offering a position for CFO and is seeking to hire a new CFO.
Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On November 6, 2024, the Financial Services Commission of Korea notified the Company that it intends to impose an administrative fine of KRW 142,100,000 on Hanryu Holdings, Inc. (the former name of the Company), alleging that the Company failed to submit a securities registration statement in Korea in connection with the portion of the IPO funds raised from Korean investors in 2023.
In response, the Company contested the notice, asserting that it only held an information session without soliciting subscriptions, and that Hanryu Holdings, Inc. is a U.S. corporation not subject to Korean regulations and therefore not obligated to file a securities registration statement in Korea. However, on March 27, 2025, the Financial Services Commission rejected the Company’s objection.
As a result, on June 24, 2025, the Company filed an administrative appeal with the Korea Central Administrative Appeals Commission seeking cancellation of the administrative fine. An administrative appeal to the Administrative Appeals Commission is a non-judicial procedure that can be filed prior to an administrative lawsuit, and based on the outcome of the appeal, the Company may file an administrative lawsuit with the court.
Regarding the administrative appeal filed against the imposition of a fine of KRW 142,100,000 by the Financial Services Commission, the Korean Central Administrative Appeals Commission scheduled a hearing for October 14, 2025. As a result of the hearing, the Commission dismissed the Company’s appeal to cancel the fine of KRW 142,100,000.
The Company received the written decision of the administrative appeal from the Central Administrative Appeals Commission by mail on November 6, 2025. The Company is currently seeking the cancellation of the administrative surcharge imposed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Korea through administrative court proceedings, and the matter remains pending.
