Focus Universal Regains Nasdaq Compliance Following Successful Public Offerings

Focus Universal Inc. (NASDAQ: FCUV) announced on December 23, 2025, that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) after receiving written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department. The company, which provides patented hardware and software technologies for Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and SEC Financial Reporting AI-Driven Automation Software, satisfied the minimum stockholders' equity requirement of $2.5 million following recent public offerings.

The compliance issue originated on June 30, 2025, when Nasdaq notified Focus Universal that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) because its market value of listed securities had remained below $35 million for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq's determination of compliance came after the company's public offerings announced on October 27, 2025, which generated estimated net proceeds of $9.44 million from a $10 million offering. According to Nasdaq rules, companies must meet at least one of three standards: stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million, market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recent fiscal year or two of the three most recent fiscal years.

"Through our recent public offerings, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet, enabling us to regain compliance in accordance with Nasdaq's stockholders' equity standard," said Dr. Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal Inc. "We deeply appreciate the support of all the investors who participated in our offerings and believe in our long-term vision. With a highly scalable business model, we are more optimistic than ever about the Company's outlook and remain committed to building shareholder value as we continue to scale our business and drive sustainable growth."

The company's compliance restoration carries significant implications for investors and the technology sector. Maintaining Nasdaq listing provides continued access to public markets, enhances liquidity for shareholders, and preserves the company's credibility with institutional investors. For a technology company developing IoT and AI solutions, this financial stability supports ongoing research and development efforts that could transform multiple industries.

Dr. Wang emphasized the strategic importance of compliance while highlighting the company's technological innovations. "Regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements is an important requirement for Focus Universal," he stated. "And as we reflect on the market and growing business potential, we remain focused on creating long-term shareholder value through our fundamental research and development, which aims to address the core challenges in IoT and labor-intensive data entry."

The company's Universal Smart IoT platform represents a potential breakthrough in IoT development. According to Dr. Wang, "Universal Smart IoT not only preserves the information-sharing capabilities of traditional IoT but also provides universal common hardware and software platforms. As a result, the prohibitive development and production costs, as well as the technological complexity that have hindered traditional IoT, are finally resolved. The longstanding challenges of IoT have been solved. When the 90% of universal IoT infrastructure is no longer repeatedly rebuilt, IoT development becomes far cheaper and simpler than building non-IoT devices."

Beyond IoT solutions, Focus Universal has developed SEC Financial Reporting software that demonstrates remarkable efficiency gains. "Furthermore, our SEC Financial Reporting software is 10,000 times faster than traditional manual methods, demonstrating the transformative power of automation and AI-driven innovation," Dr. Wang explained. "With a single click, months of complex SEC financial reporting work can be completed in just one minute. We plan to showcase all of these technologies at CES from January 6th to 9th in Las Vegas."

The company's technological portfolio includes five disruptive patented technology platforms with 26 patents and patents pending in various phases, along with eight trademarks pending in various phases. These technologies aim to solve major problems facing hardware and software design and production within the industry today. For maintenance cost control, the company holds omnibus patents encompassing these patents into patent family groups. According to company information, these combined technologies have the potential to reduce costs, product development timelines, and energy usage while increasing range, speed, efficiency, and security.

The regaining of Nasdaq compliance represents a critical milestone for Focus Universal as it positions itself in competitive technology markets. The successful capital raise not only addresses immediate listing requirements but also provides resources to advance the company's IoT and AI automation technologies. Investors and industry observers will be watching the company's presentation at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where Focus Universal plans to demonstrate its technologies that could potentially reshape IoT development and financial reporting automation.
