Fiscal Year 2019 Results

Revenue for the fiscal year 2019 increased 8% to $0.96 million compared to $0.89 million for the fiscal 2018. The increase in revenue was mainly due to an increase in sales and membership fee through the E-commerce business which started operating at the end of 2018.

Operating expenses decreased 93% to $13.43 million in 2019 from $190.43 million in 2018 . The operating expenses for the discontinued operation were $6.19 million for fiscal year 2019. The significant decrease in operating expenses were primarily due to Future FinTech transforming its focus to a real-name blockchain based shared shopping mall platform, Chain Cloud Mall (“CCM”)from its traditional juice manufacturing and distribution business, which suffered  heavy losses in previous years.

The loss from operations for fiscal 2019 was $12.94 million, as compared to $190.52 million for fiscal 2018.

Net loss attributable to Future FinTech Common Stock shareholders for the fiscal 2019 was $25.23 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $167.00 million, or $7.74 per diluted share for fiscal 2018.
