Exhibit 99.1
MMTEC, Inc. Announces Half Year 2023 Unaudited
Financial Results
First Half Year of 2023 Financial Highlights
| ● | Revenues
increased by 289.48% from approximately $0.73 million to approximately $2.86 million as a result of the acquisition of Alpha Mind Technology
Limited, an insurance agency and insurance technology company (“Alpha Mind”), during the six months ended June 30, 2023. |
| ● | Gross profit decreased by 79.64% to approximately
$0.13 million as compared to approximately $0.62 million for the same period in 2022, while the gross profit margin was 4.44%, as compared
to 84.93% for the same period in 2022. Alpha Mind has a relatively
lower gross profit margin, since it mainly collects commission from selling insurance products as compensation for its agency services. |
| ● | Loss from operations was approximately $3.09
million as compared to approximately $2.93 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the decrease
in gross profit. |
| ● | Net
loss was approximately $14.45 million as compared to net loss of approximately $2.89 million for the same period of 2022. The increase
in net loss is mainly attributable to the increase in interest expense of approximately $11.42 million from issuing convertible promissory
notes. |
| ● | Loss per share on a basic and a fully diluted
basis were $0.46 and $0.30, respectively, as compared to loss per share on a basic and a fully diluted basis of $0.92 for the same period
in 2022. |
Xiangdong Wen, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, commented, “We completed the acquisition of Alpha Mind Technology Limited during the first half of 2023, which
expanded the scope of our business into insurance agency industry. Our revenue increased to approximately $2.86 million for the first
half of 2023 and further growth is expected for the remainder of 2023. In addition, we expect to continue to invest in our support teams
for both our investment banking business and our insurance agency business.”
Mr. Wen continued, “The Company will continue
to promote cooperative relationships with Chinese companies listed in the US and provide them with one-stop and high-quality investment
banking services. In addition, we will actively expand the business scope to overseas market and set up overseas offices to help small
and medium-sized companies in Europe and other Asian countries to provide initial listing, financing, mergers and acquisitions, and financial
advisory services, helping them integrate into capital markets more efficiently as well as continuously enhance our competitiveness.”

For the six months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, other general and administrative expenses were $497,530 and $943,867, respectively. The decrease in other general

Alpha Mind Technology Limited (BVI) is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Alpha Mind Technology Limited (HK) is the Hong
Kong dollar. The functional currency of Gujia (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd, Jiachuang Yingan (Beijing) Information & Technology
Co., Ltd, Huaming Insurance Agency Co., Ltd and Huaming Yunbao (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd is the Chinese Renminbi
(“RMB”). The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB and Hong Kong
dollar are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, average rate of exchange for
revenue and expenses and cash flows, and at historical exchange rates for equity. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign
exchange transactions are included in the results of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash
adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation loss of $80,926 and a foreign currency translation loss of $55,780 for
the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This non-cash loss had the effect of increasing our reported
comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive Loss
As a result of our foreign
currency translation adjustment, we had comprehensive loss of approximately $14.53 million and $2.94 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Financial
Condition
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately
$2.0 million, compared to approximately $3.83 million as of December 31, 2022. Total working capital was $1.75 million as of June 30,
2023, compared to working capital of $7.86 million as of December 31, 2022.
Net
cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $3.02 million, compared to $4.15 million for
the same period last year. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $86.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to $6,036 for the same period last year. Net cash provided by financing activities was $88.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023, compared to $nil for the same period of last year.

in China and the United States, the Company finds itself subject to the challenges posed by the ongoing tension in the trade relations
between the countries.

Recent
Developments
On
May 16, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Alfa Crest Investment
Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Alfa Crest”), CapitoLabs Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“CapitoLabs”,
and together with Alfa Crest, the “Sellers”) and Alpha Mind Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Target”
or “Alpha Mind”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase, the
Sellers’ shares of Target’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, which represent an 85% ownership stake in Target, for
aggregate purchase price of $99,650,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid as follows: (a) $1.0 million
was paid by the Company to the Sellers as a good faith deposit on May 8, 2023, (b) the Company paid
the Sellers an aggregate of $91,650,000 in cash at closing, and (c) the Company paid the remaining $7.0 million of the Purchase
Price to the Sellers in the form of a convertible promissory note.
The
transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement closed on June 7, 2023. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the $1.0
million good faith deposit previously made by the Company was credited towards the Purchase Price. In addition, at closing, the
Company paid the Sellers an aggregate of $91,650,000 in cash, and issued to the Sellers a senior convertible promissory note (the
“Note”) for the remaining $7.0 million of the Purchase Price. The note accrues interest at 1% per annum and matures 24
months following the effective date. The note is convertible at any time and the conversion price will be calculated with a discount
of fifty-four percent (54%) to the lowest closing price of the last twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the date of the
conversion notice.
