<content:encoded><![CDATA[

<p>MONTEREY PARK, CA - June 26, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (Nasdaq: FCUV) today formally continued to introduce further facets of proprietary <b>Deterministic AI</b> platform: a new class of artificial intelligence as a distinct category of enterprise artificial intelligence systems designed for execution of complex, compliance-driven business workflows with consistent, verifiable, and repeatable outcomes.</p>
<p align="left">Artificial Intelligence can be broadly divided into two categories: <strong>non-deterministic AI</strong>, which includes generative AI based on large language models, and <strong>deterministic AI</strong>, which is designed to execute known workflows with precision, consistency, and predictability.</p>
<p align="left">Businesses frequently encounter problems where the optimal solution is not immediately known. Generative AI excels in these situations by helping users explore alternatives, generate ideas, and identify potential solutions. Once the optimal solution or workflow has been determined, the challenge shifts from discovery to execution: how to automate the process, minimize human involvement, eliminate repetitive work, and maximize productivity. This is where Deterministic AI creates value.</p>
<p align="left">Organizations do not need to discover the best solution every day, but they do need to execute their workflows every day. As a result, Deterministic AI has the potential to become a daily operational tool that continuously improves efficiency, consistency, and productivity across an organization.</p>
<p align="left">Unlike generative AI, which relies on massive training datasets, substantial computational resources, and significant infrastructure investments, Deterministic AI is fundamentally rule-driven. It learns and applies a defined set of business rules, procedures, and relationships that only need to be established once. Because it does not depend on training enormous models, Deterministic AI generally requires significantly less computing power and infrastructure.</p>
<p align="left">In a Deterministic AI system, human actions are replaced by continuous electronic actions. Tasks that previously required manual effort can be performed automatically, repeatedly, and consistently. Depending on the application, efficiency gains may be measured in multiples of hundreds or even thousands of times compared to traditional manual processes. The capital required to deploy such systems can be relatively modest, while the potential return on investment may be substantial.</p>
<p align="left">This represents one of the fundamental distinctions between deterministic AI and generative AI. Today, generative AI is primarily applied to individual tasks or limited portions of a business process. Deterministic AI is designed to automate complete end-to-end workflows.</p>
<p align="left">Consider SEC financial reporting as an example: producing an SEC filing requires the integration of professional accounting expertise, public-company CFO knowledge, Edgarization procedures, XBRL tagging requirements, securities law considerations, and auditing standards. The overall workflow consists of hundreds of thousands of heterogeneous sub-tasks, decisions, validations, and cross-references. Such complexity makes traditional coding-based automation extremely difficult and often impractical.</p>
<p align="left">An important distinction is that SEC financial reporting is not a completely standardized process. Reporting requirements, disclosures, accounting treatments, business structures, and transaction types vary significantly from company to company. Despite this variability, our deterministic AI platform is designed to adapt to these differences and automatically apply the appropriate rules, workflows, and regulatory requirements for each reporting entity.</p>
<p align="left">At the same time, it is equally challenging to provide a generative AI model with sufficiently complete and accurate inputs to consistently produce correct outputs for every sub-task. Even if a generative AI model is capable of performing individual tasks within the process, its inherently non-deterministic nature makes it difficult to guarantee the consistency, repeatability, and auditability required for regulatory reporting. Generative AI often requires substantial user interaction, prompt engineering, corrections, and refinements before reaching an acceptable result.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI approaches the problem differently. The domain knowledge, business logic, workflows, validation rules, and decision-making processes are embedded directly into the system. As a result, user input requirements are significantly reduced, and outputs become predictable, repeatable, and auditable.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI does not compete directly with generative AI. Rather, it complements generative AI by focusing on the automation of professional workflows traditionally performed by skilled human workers.</p>
<p align="left">Focus Universal did not invest billions of dollars to build its deterministic AI platform, as many organizations have done with large language models. Developing deterministic AI requires a different type of investment: deep domain expertise, extensive workflow analysis, and years of engineering effort to model and automate complex business processes. The Company are grateful for the patience of our shareholders and the dedication of our engineering team throughout this development journey.</p>
<p align="left">While building a Deterministic AI engine is challenging and time-consuming, the Company believes that once the foundational architecture and methodology have been established, expansion into additional applications can occur much more rapidly. The Company believes the Company now possesses a comprehensive understanding of deterministic AI architecture and implementation.</p>
<p align="left">As a result, the Company are confident that this technology can be extended into additional workflow-intensive industries, including accounting, tax return preparation, insurance, medical billing, logistics, medical billing, insurance processing, and data-entry automation. The Company also expects to commercialize our SEC financial reporting automation platform for both public companies and filing agents during the third quarter of 2026.</p>
<p align="left">The efficiency gains delivered by Deterministic AI may initially sound too good to be true. For example, a complex SEC financial report that historically required years of accumulated professional experience and months of manual preparation may potentially be completed in minutes. Such claims can appear extraordinary at first glance. However, when the nature of SEC financial reporting is examined closely, the process consists largely of validating, organizing, cross-referencing, calculating, and presenting thousands of financial facts and disclosures according to established rules and regulatory requirements. These are precisely the types of repetitive, rule-based operations that computers perform exceptionally well.</p>
<p align="left">Most modern AI agents are built on top of large language models and are therefore generally non-deterministic. Deterministic AI serves a different purpose. When a workflow is fully understood, clearly defined, and governed by established rules, deterministic AI can automate the process with a level of speed, consistency, scalability, and reliability that is difficult to achieve through human effort alone.</p>
<p align="left">Although the Company has not yet generated meaningful revenue from our Deterministic AI platform, management believes the underlying technology represents a highly valuable intellectual asset. Our SEC financial reporting automation software is currently in the final stages of refinement and optimization based on feedback from accounting, legal, auditing, and filing professionals.</p>
<p align="left">The Company believes Deterministic AI represents a new class of artificial intelligence that has not yet been widely recognized or understood by the marketplace. As awareness grows regarding the distinction between solution discovery and workflow execution, the Company believes deterministic AI has the potential to become a transformative technology for automating professional business processes across multiple industries.</p>
<p align="left">"Much of the current discussion around artificial intelligence is focused on systems that help users generate content or explore possible solutions," said Desheng Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Universal. "The Company believes there is a separate and important enterprise need for systems designed to execute known workflows with consistency, traceability, and repeatable results. Our Deterministic AI platform is intended to address that need by automating complex, rule-based processes that have traditionally required significant professional time and manual effort, beginning with SEC financial reporting and potentially extending into other compliance-oriented workflows."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[

<p>MONTEREY PARK, CA - June 19, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (Nasdaq: FCUV) today introduced a formal definition of <b>Deterministic AI</b> as a distinct category of enterprise artificial intelligence systems designed for execution of complex, compliance-driven business workflows with consistent, verifiable, and repeatable outcomes.</p>
<p align="left">While every US public company is required to file annual reports (10-K), quarterly reports (10-Q), proxy statements, and numerous other SEC-mandated disclosures within strict regulatory deadlines, regardless of market conditions, economic uncertainty, or management priorities.</p>
<p align="left">In addition, SEC filings must be prepared in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), a standardized machine-readable format that enables investors, regulators, and analysts to automatically extract, analyze, and compare financial information across companies and reporting periods. Because XBRL is based on XML programming language and requires specialized technical expertise, most CPAs, CFOs, auditors, and securities attorneys do not perform this work themselves. As a result, many issuers rely on specialized EDGAR filing agents to handle Edgarization and XBRL tagging.</p>
<p align="left">The current process is often expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. To meet filing deadlines, issuers frequently must deliver their draft reports to filing agents several days in advance, creating additional pressure on management teams and reducing flexibility during the reporting process.</p>
<p align="left">Now imagine a different approach.</p>
<p align="left">An issuer or filing agent simply uploads a collection of raw Word documents, including 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks. The system automatically identifies each filing type, determines the appropriate workflow, converts the documents into SEC-compliant HTML, performs Edgarization, applies XBRL tagging, validates the output, and generates SEC-ready filings - all with minimal or no human intervention.</p>
<p align="left">What traditionally requires days of manual effort can be completed in minutes per filing. The system can process multiple heterogeneous filings simultaneously, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Productivity does not slow down when staff are unavailable, working remotely, or on vacation.</p>
<p align="left">This vision is now becoming reality through the Deterministic AI technology developed by the Focus Universal team. By combining rule-based intelligence, domain expertise, and automated workflow execution, Deterministic AI has the potential to fundamentally transform how SEC filings are prepared, Edgarized, and tagged in XBRL.</p>
<p align="left">The Company believes Deterministic AI represents a fundamentally different approach from both traditional automation systems and generative AI models, introducing an execution-focused architecture designed to transform unstructured business documents directly into completed, compliance-ready workflows.</p>
<p align="left"><b>A New Class of AI Distinct from Automation and Generative Models</b></p>
<p align="left">Focus Universal stated that Deterministic AI differs fundamentally in algorithm, purpose, structure, and output behavior from existing categories of enterprise AI systems:</p>
<ul> <li>
<b>Traditional automation systems</b> rely on predefined rules, structured inputs, templates, and manually programmed workflows, and are limited to processes explicitly designed in advance.</li>
 <li>
<b>Generative AI systems</b> operate on probabilistic models trained on large datasets and produce variable outputs based on prompts and context. While flexible, their outputs are non-deterministic and often require human review and iterative refinement.</li>
 <li>
<b>Deterministic AI systems</b>, as defined by the Company, are designed to acquire domain knowledge and apply that knowledge to execute complete business workflows with consistent outcomes. Given identical inputs and conditions, the system produces identical outputs, enabling auditability and regulatory reliability.</li>
 </ul>
 <p align="left"><b>Minimal Input Design: Document-Only Execution</b></p>
<p align="left">A defining characteristic of Deterministic AI is its <b>minimal input requirement</b>.</p>
<p align="left">Unlike traditional automation, which relies on predefined rules and structured inputs, Deterministic AI acquires and applies domain-specific knowledge to perform tasks that have historically required trained professionals. Unlike generative AI, which produces probabilistic outputs that may vary from one execution to another, Deterministic AI produces the same output when provided with the same input and operating conditions, making it particularly suitable for regulatory, compliance, financial, legal, and other mission-critical applications.</p>
<p align="left">One of the most significant advantages of Deterministic AI is its ability to perform complex tasks with minimal user input.</p>
<p align="left">Traditional automation systems generally require users to provide structured data, predefined workflows, mapping instructions, templates, or prior-period information before a task can be completed. Generative AI systems often require detailed prompts, extensive context, supporting documents, and multiple rounds of user interaction to achieve acceptable results.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI operates differently. The knowledge necessary to perform the task resides within the system itself. As a result, users only need to provide the primary business document, while the system supplies the domain knowledge required to complete the work.</p>
<p align="left">For example, a public company's SEC filing may contain more than 1,000 financial facts and footnote disclosures requiring XBRL tagging. The Word document provided by the company contains no XBRL tags, taxonomy mappings, EDGAR formatting instructions, or guidance regarding which financial concepts should be associated with specific XBRL taxonomy elements.</p>
<p align="left">Traditionally, financial reporting professionals must manually review hundreds of pages of disclosures, identify reporting concepts, select appropriate taxonomy elements, perform EDGARization, and validate the filing. Existing automation solutions often depend on prior-year tagged filings and roll-forward methodologies that simply carry forward historical tagging decisions.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI requires only the Word document. Using knowledge acquired from large numbers of financial filings and reporting patterns, the system can identify financial reporting concepts, determine appropriate taxonomy elements, perform EDGARization, and generate compliant outputs with little or no human intervention.</p>
<p align="left">Unlike traditional roll-forward approaches, Deterministic AI continuously improves the quality of its decisions as additional filings are processed. For example, the system can increasingly identify opportunities to replace company-specific custom tags with standard GAAP taxonomy elements, improving consistency, comparability, and data quality across filings. At the same time, the system remains deterministic, ensuring that identical inputs produce identical outputs.</p>
<p align="left">The system is designed to:</p>
<ul> <li>Interpret unstructured documents</li>
 <li>Identify relevant business or regulatory context</li>
 <li>Execute required workflows end-to-end</li>
 <li>Produce structured, compliance-ready outputs</li>
 </ul>
 <p align="left"><b>SEC Financial Reporting as a Representative Use Case</b></p>
<p align="left">As a sample application, SEC financial reporting illustrates the complexity that Deterministic AI is designed to address.</p>
<p align="left">A typical SEC filing may contain more than 1,000 financial facts and footnote disclosures requiring XBRL tagging and EDGAR compliance formatting. The source Word document provided by public companies generally contains no XBRL tags, taxonomy mappings, or structured reporting instructions.</p>
<p align="left">Traditionally, financial professionals must manually review extensive disclosures, identify reporting concepts, apply EDGARization processes, determine appropriate XBRL taxonomy elements, and validate compliance across filings. Many existing solutions rely on prior-year roll-forward approaches that simply carry forward previous tagging decisions.</p>
<p align="left">Focus Universal stated that Deterministic AI is designed to eliminate this dependency on manual interpretation and roll-forward logic by directly processing the source document and generating compliant outputs from learned domain knowledge.</p>
<p align="left"><b>Automated EDGARization and XBRL Tagging from Raw Documents</b></p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI is designed to process SEC filings using only the Word document as input. Leveraging accumulated domain knowledge from large volumes of filings, the system is designed to:</p>
<ul> <li>Identify financial reporting concepts within disclosures</li>
 <li>Determine appropriate XBRL taxonomy elements</li>
 <li>Perform EDGARization formatting</li>
 <li>Generate structured, compliance-ready outputs</li>
 <li>Improve consistency of taxonomy selection over time</li>
 </ul>
 <p align="left">The Company noted that as additional filings are processed, the system refines its ability to align disclosures with standard GAAP taxonomy elements and reduce reliance on company-specific custom tags, while maintaining deterministic output behavior.</p>
<p align="left"><b>Autonomous Task Recognition and Batch</b><b> Processing</b></p>
<p align="left">Focus Universal also highlighted the platform's ability to process <b>diverse document types and workflows without user configuration</b>.</p>
<p align="left">Traditional automation systems require users to select workflows in advance, with separate processes typically required for different SEC filings such as Form 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K.</p>
<p align="left">Generative AI systems may assist with classification but typically require prompts, context, and human validation to determine appropriate execution steps.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI operates differently. Users provide documents directly, and the system automatically:</p>
<ul> <li>Identifies document type (e.g., 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K)</li>
 <li>Determines required workflow</li>
 <li>Applies relevant domain knowledge</li>
 <li>Executes appropriate processing steps</li>
 </ul>
 <p align="left">This enables <b>batch processing of heterogeneous documents</b>, where a single batch may contain multiple filing types across multiple companies. The system independently processes each document, performs EDGARization and XBRL tagging, and generates compliant outputs without requiring user-specified workflow selection.</p>
<p align="left"><b>Continuous Knowledge Acquisition with Deterministic Output</b></p>
<p align="left">Unlike traditional automation systems constrained by static rules, Deterministic AI is designed to continuously refine its domain knowledge as additional filings are processed.</p>
<p align="left">This includes improved identification of opportunities to replace company-specific custom tags with standard GAAP taxonomy elements, enhancing comparability and consistency across filings.</p>
<p align="left">Importantly, the Company emphasized that despite ongoing knowledge refinement, the system remains deterministic - ensuring identical inputs always produce identical outputs.</p>
<p align="left"><b>Efficient Learning and Computational Model</b></p>
<p align="left">Generative AI systems typically require large-scale datasets and substantial computational resources to learn probabilistic relationships across vast data distributions.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI addresses a different class of enterprise problems, where outcomes are governed by established standards, regulations, and verifiable rules.</p>
<p align="left">Because correct outputs are constrained and objectively definable in domains such as financial reporting, tax preparation, medical billing, logistics, and compliance workflows, Deterministic AI is designed to acquire and refine domain knowledge with substantially lower computational overhead compared to large-scale generative models.</p>
<p align="left"><b>Broad Enterprise Applications Beyond SEC Reporting</b></p>
<p align="left">While SEC financial reporting is a primary application, Focus Universal believes Deterministic AI is broadly applicable across labor-intensive, document-driven enterprise workflows, including:</p>
<ul> <li>Tax preparation and accounting services</li>
 <li>Freight forwarding and logistics documentation</li>
 <li>Medical billing and healthcare claims processing</li>
 <li>Insurance claims administration</li>
 <li>Regulatory compliance reporting</li>
 <li>Legal document preparation and review</li>
 <li>Banking and financial operations</li>
 <li>General back-office administrative workflows requiring structured execution</li>
 <li>Data entry</li>
 </ul>
 <p align="left">The Company believes these industries share a common challenge: transforming unstructured documents into structured, compliant, and auditable outputs with high accuracy requirements and minimal tolerance for error.</p>
<p align="left">"We believe Deterministic AI represents a new category of enterprise artificial intelligence focused on execution rather than content generation," said Dr. Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal. "While generative AI can create text, images, and code, Deterministic AI is designed to complete complex business workflows with consistent and verifiable outcomes. By combining domain knowledge with autonomous workflow execution, we believe technology can significantly reduce manual labor while improving speed, accuracy, and scalability across many industries. SEC reporting is only one example of the broader opportunities we see for this platform."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[

<p>MONTEREY PARK, CA - June 12, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Today, nearly all mainstream artificial intelligence systems belong to a category known as Generative AI. Built upon Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI relies on massive amounts of training data and iterative optimization to produce increasingly relevant and useful responses. However, the probabilistic nature of these models means that they are fundamentally designed to identify the most likely or most appropriate answer among many possible answers, rather than a single, deterministic answer.</p>
<p align="left">As a result, Generative AI excels in applications where answers are inherently subjective or uncertain, such as content creation, article writing, business planning, market research, customer support, and human-computer interaction. In these domains, there may be multiple acceptable answers, and the objective is often to generate the best possible response.</p>
<p align="left">However, this same probabilistic foundation also creates inherent limitations. In many real-world applications, approximate answers are unacceptable. Tasks such as financial reporting, bookkeeping, tax preparation, regulatory compliance, data entry, form completion, and securities filings require a single correct answer and absolute consistency. In these environments, even a small probability of error can produce significant consequences.</p>
<p align="left">The world's leading AI companies have focused primarily on solving problems where answers are uncertain. Focus, through years of development in financial reporting automation, inadvertently pursued a different path. Rather than developing systems that search for the most likely answer, we developed technology designed to automate processes where the correct answer is already known and must be produced accurately, consistently, and efficiently.</p>
<p align="left">If Generative AI answers the question, "What is the answer?", Deterministic AI answers the question, "How can the correct answer be obtained, processed, and delivered automatically with certainty?"</p>
<p align="left">When answers are uncertain, Generative AI is an exceptionally powerful tool for exploration, reasoning, and content generation. When answers are known and fixed, the challenge shifts from finding the answer to optimizing the process of obtaining and executing that answer. This is where Deterministic AI demonstrates its greatest value.</p>
<p align="left">In many ways, Focus has helped develop what may be viewed as the missing half of artificial intelligence.</p>
<p align="left">Generative AI and Deterministic AI are not competing technologies; they are complementary technologies. Each addresses a fundamentally different class of problems, and neither can fully replace the other.</p>
<p align="left">Deterministic AI is particularly well-suited for applications involving structured data, accounting, financial reporting, tax preparation, regulatory compliance, database management, document generation, workflow automation, and other environments where accuracy, consistency, traceability, and repeatability are essential.</p>
<p align="left">Conversely, Generative AI thrives in domains such as writing, brainstorming, research, marketing, design, and other creative or open-ended activities where answers are not predetermined and innovation is valued.</p>
<p align="left">The future of artificial intelligence will be built upon two complementary pillars. Generative AI will continue to create, explore, and reason across uncertain domains, while Deterministic AI will automate, validate, and execute tasks in domains where correctness and certainty are required.</p>
<p align="left">Generative AI explores possibilities. Deterministic AI delivers certainty.</p>
<p align="left">Together, they form a more complete vision of artificial intelligence.</p>
<p align="left">Focus's Deterministic AI platform represents our contribution toward that vision - bringing automation, precision, and reliability to domains where accuracy is not merely preferred, but required.</p>
<p align="left">"We have been fortunate enough to enter the field of artificial intelligence several years ago - long before we fully realized that the technology we were developing would become part of one of the most transformative technological revolutions of our time," said Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal.</p>
<p align="left"><b>About Focus Universal:</b><br>Focus Universal Inc. is a provider of patented hardware and software design technologies for Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G.

<p>WEST COVINA, CA - April 28, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (<b>NASDAQ</b>: FCUV) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a provider of patented hardware and software technologies for IoT, 5G, and AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation, today announced the development of <em>Deterministic AI - </em>a new class of artificial intelligence that addresses the limitations of Generative AI and represents a breakthrough in task execution AI as opposed to consultative AI, especially with relation to financial software and financial reporting.</p>
<p align="left">The Company believes a common misconception exists that equates 'AI' solely with generative models such as ChatGPT. Generative AI is inherently probabilistic, while real-world problems include both probabilistic and non-probabilistic or deterministic elements that must be addressed differently.</p>
<p align="left">The Company explains that the core issue is not how advanced probabilistic AI has become, but rather that probabilistic systems are fundamentally unsuited to solving non-probabilistic problems. Traditional generative AI cannot guarantee exact correctness in scenarios that require strict rules, consistency, and validation. To address these elemental and intrinsic gaps, Focus Universal has developed Deterministic AI - an approach designed specifically for non-probabilistic problem domains.</p>
<p align="left">The Company continues that while Generative AI excels at interpreting language, generating drafts, identifying patterns, and producing plausible outputs, it does not inherently provide guarantees of correctness, system-wide consistency, auditability, or regulatory defensibility.&nbsp; Deterministic AI, by contrast, enforces explicit rules and constraints, ensures cross-document consistency, and validates outputs against formal structures. It is designed to deliver reproducible correctness, traceable reasoning, and legal accountability.</p>
<p align="left">Both Generative AI and Deterministic AI are essential. Real-world applications require a combination of the two. The prevailing view of AI as merely a text-generation tool is a flawed abstraction. In enterprise workflows such as SEC reporting, the most resource-intensive task is not idea generation or consulting; it is within the detail work, ensuring that every number, disclosure, and statement is consistent, reconciled, and audit-ready.</p>
<p align="left">The Company also believes that because Generative AI is probabilistic, it cannot guarantee this level of precision. The true opportunity lies in system-level AI: a hybrid model where generative AI handles interpretation and drafting, while Deterministic AI enforces structure, consistency, and compliance.&nbsp; This integrated approach does more than improve workflows - it has the potential to eliminate entire layers of manual reconciliation and validation within legacy enterprise reporting systems.</p>
<p align="left">Chief Executive Officer of Focus Universal illustrates in a real-world example of the power of this new class of AI, "Deterministic AI is highly effective at identifying inconsistencies that are difficult to detect - even in filings that have already passed rigorous validation checks from the strongest and most trusted sources.&nbsp; These data feed into a myriad of downstream uses that pull from these crucial sources, ultimately used by the entire financial community to facilitate millions of important subsequent economic decisions, even feeding into Generative AI.&nbsp; Even on these central and vital data sources, errors, which could be corrected by Deterministic AI, are present.</p>
<p align="left">For example, when reviewed in publicly available filings directly on administrative websites, such as the SEC website,</p>
<p align="left"><a href="https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=view&amp;cik=789019&amp;accession_number=0000950170-25-100235&amp;xbrl_type=v">https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=view&amp;cik=789019&amp;accession_number=0000950170-25-100235&amp;xbrl_type=v#</a></p>
<p align="left">and</p>
<p align="left"><a href="https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=view&amp;cik=789019&amp;accession_number=0000950170-24-087843&amp;xbrl_type=v">https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=view&amp;cik=789019&amp;accession_number=0000950170-24-087843&amp;xbrl_type=v#</a>,</p>
<p align="left">our Deterministic AI identified inconsistencies in the "Total" values within certain tables, whereby the figures do not appear to reconcile correctly.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">These examples illustrate the foundational strengths of Deterministic AI.&nbsp; This new class is not to replace Generative AI but should work well hand-in-hand with all types of AI with the end goal to strengthen and produce better integral results; It not only detects inconsistencies in financial reports but can also help uncover potential bugs or structural limitations in existing validation software."</p>
<p align="left">"I'm incredibly proud of what our development team has achieved with Deterministic AI, a breakthrough that overcomes the inherent trade-offs of Generative AI," said Desheng Wang, "This is not incremental progress - it is a fundamental paradigm shift. Our technology goes far beyond Generative AI, addressing the industry's core challenge of accuracy and enabling fully automated, high-precision execution of complex and principle financial information workflows."</p>
<p align="left">According to industry analysis and statistics, the global financial reporting software market was valued at approximately $13.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $36.6 billion by 2030, driven by increasing regulatory complexity and demand for automation. Focus Universal believes its AI-driven platform is well positioned to address this growing commercial demand by replacing manual, error-prone workflows with intelligent, scalable automation solutions.</p>

<p>WEST COVINA, CA - April 27, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) -&nbsp;Focus Universal Inc. (NASDAQ: <b>FCUV</b>) (the "Company"), a provider of patented hardware and software design technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation software, announced today that Focus Universal Inc. closed the acquisition of a five-level, Class A office and commercial building along with a four-level parking structure and land parcels, located at 901 Corporate Center Drive, Monterey Park, CA&nbsp; 91754. The surveyed aggregate land area of the purchase amounts to 464,955 square feet or 10.73 acres, which is divided into four separate parcels (Parcel Numbers, 5237-022-014, 046, 047, and 5237-002-021).&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">The Property provides approximately 100,743 sq. ft. in rentable Class A office space over five levels, and has a parking ratio of 4.1/1,000, offering a blend of surface parking and adjacent four-level parking structure with a canopy of solar panels that are currently leased. Currently, the Property is 99.2% occupied by approximately 16 tenants. The Company does not intend to alter the terms of lease agreements in place with the current tenants, most of which have a term of 5 to 8 years. The Company plans to occupy approximately 2,000 square feet of space.&nbsp; The Company funded the purchase with a standard term loan agreement with East West Bank, as detailed in the 8-K filing.&nbsp; The Company has retained Lee and Associates to manage the property while the previous management, Jamison Services, will remain for 30 days to facilitate the transition.</p>
<p align="left">"We are very happy with our building purchase of $17.7 million, which was discounted further from the $17.7 million purchase price by over $419,000 due to rent prorations, security deposits, and other such reconciliation amounts. The building will serve as corporate headquarters, holding a very high capitalization rate for Los Angeles County of over 10%. We believe high-value Class A commercial buildings in Los Angeles area with cap rates above 10% with 100% occupancy, upon Focus moving into the building, are exceedingly rare," remarked Chief Financial Officer Irving Kau.</p>
<p align="left">"From a financial perspective, we also believe there is significant value here as the building has a Los Angeles County Assessor assessed aggregate value of $28.3 million in 2026, over $10 million above our purchase price, despite the two valuation numbers being unrelated.&nbsp; The building also generated monthly rental income of over $257,000 in 2025, amounting to roughly $3.1 million in annual rents," continued Irving Kau. "If we consider the $257,000 monthly rental income, without considering any already contracted rent increases, coupled with our monthly principal and interest payments of under $68,700, we believe this additional cash flow will benefit the company.&nbsp; In addition to the calculated monthly cash flow, we also believe this particular asset purchase also significantly reduces corporate rent and some corporate expense burden and bolsters our overall equity and asset value for our company."</p>
<p align="left">Irving Kau concluded, "Lastly, one of the parcels is zoned residential and remains undeveloped and holds Los Angeles County Assessor assessed value over $600,000. This high value land with a city view also presents option value to our company as we can still develop the parcel through partners or divest the parcel, which would add also to the overall value for the company. We sincerely thank our shareholders for their unwavering support and belief in the equity value and future upside of our growth and company will allow us to realize our strategic growth plans and accelerate value creation for our shareholders."</p>

<p>WEST COVINA, CA - April 14, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (NASDAQ: <b>FCUV</b>) (the "Company"), a provider of patented hardware and software design technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation software, today announced today that none of its 8,236 previously outstanding Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series B (Series B Shares) remain outstanding as of today.&nbsp; The remainder of the converted shares were converted as of midday, 12:00PM EST on April 6, 2026.&nbsp; 7,006 Series B shares, or 85.1% of the total shares, were converted in aggregate.&nbsp; On April 13th, 2026, the remainder of the 1,230 shares were redeemed at a discounted value of $782 per share.&nbsp; The complete amount, or 100% of 750,000 of the Series A (Series A Shares) were converted earlier in 2025. As a result, as of April 14, 2026, the Company will have zero Series A Shares and zero Series B shares issued and outstanding.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left">"Our latest actions demonstrate a commitment to transforming our balance sheet, safeguarding the financial health of the Company, and focusing on long-term growth, where we are still bullish on our ability to grow the long-term financial stability of our businesses as a whole. We believe our strong, pre-redemption cash position today of roughly $9.73M stands very strong as compared to our current market capitalization.&nbsp; Obviously, along with the conversion of the preferred shares to common stock, the associated preferential rights of these shares also no longer remain outstanding," remarked Irving Kau, Chief Financial Officer of Focus Universal.</p>
<p align="left">"Furthermore, our forthcoming asset building purchase, which in part will serve as corporate headquarters, holds a very high capitalization rate for Los Angeles County of over 10% with a Los Angeles County Assessor assessed aggregate value of $28,329,330 in 2026 and generating roughly $3.1 million in annual rents.&nbsp; Moreover, we hope these conversion results along with our recapitalization coupled with our forthcoming asset purchase moves will significantly reduce corporate expense burden, bolster our equity value, and reduce any potential overhang on our shares. Prior to this asset purchase, the Company currently also carried no long-term debt," continued Irving Kau.&nbsp; "We sincerely thank our shareholders for their unwavering support and belief in the equity value and future upside of our growth and company will allow us to realize our strategic growth plans and accelerate value creation for our shareholders."</p>

<p>WEST COVINA, CA - April 1, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (<b>NASDAQ</b>: FCUV) ("Focus" or the "Company"), Focus Universal, a provider of patented hardware and software technologies for IoT, 5G, and AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation, today announced a new class of task-execution AI that goes far beyond traditional generative AI. This AI is engineered to understand, interpret, and execute complex financial workflows with precision, consistency, and speed - delivering audit-ready, SEC-compliant filings in minutes.</p>
<p align="left">Unlike generative AI, which is probabilistic and focused on content creation, Focus Universal's AI addresses the industry's core challenge: accuracy. It understands financial structures, extracts and validates data from Word documents, applies XBRL tagging with high accuracy, and identifies discrepancies that may be missed by existing validation tools. By combining structured data interpretation with built-in validation, the platform ensures repeatable, compliant, and audit-ready outputs.</p>
<p align="left">Applying this AI to SEC reporting fundamentally transforms workflows. Tasks that once required teams of professionals working for months or weeks can now be completed with a single click, eliminating reliance on rigid templates. The system consolidates financial data, generates statements, performs EDGARization, converts documents to SEC-compliant HTML, and automatically applies XBRL tagging - all with built-in compliance checks.</p>
<p align="left">Focus Universal's solution delivers significant operational efficiencies: no setup required, filings completed in minutes rather than months or weeks, minimal training, and reduced human error. It is equally effective for repeat and first-time filers and remains stable even when financial report structures change.</p>
<p align="left">Today, most public companies prepare financial reports in Microsoft Word, even though the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires HTML filings with XBRL tagging tasks that are typically handled by specialized filing agents. The top five U.S. filing agents, each with over $1 billion in market capitalization, employ thousands of employees to perform EDGARization and XBRL tagging. A typical financial report contains thousands of financial data that must be extracted from hundreds of pages and accurately tagged.&nbsp; EDGARization typically processes only about 10 pages per hour, and XBRL tagging is even more time-consuming - a single report can take an entire week to complete.&nbsp; Focus Universal's AI-powered software fundamentally changes this model. Tasks that once required by a professional filing agent working over several days can now be completed in minutes.</p>
<p align="left">"I'm incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished," said Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal. "By overcoming generative AI's core challenge - accuracy - this technology unlocks the potential for massive real-world applications. SEC financial reporting automation is just one example of what our new AI can achieve. This is not incremental innovation - it represents a fundamental transformation of financial reporting. Our AI addresses the industry's central challenge of accuracy while enabling fully automated execution of complex financial workflows at unprecedented speed.</p>
<p align="left">With this breakthrough, Perfecular Inc., a subsidiary of Focus Universal, will bring to market two software solutions this month: one designed to help public companies prepare financial reports, and another to assist filing agents in automating EDGARization and XBRL tagging. By leveraging these tools, a single user can perform tasks that would traditionally require the efforts of a thousand employees. We are confident that our software offers a substantial advantage over existing tools in terms of speed, accuracy, and efficiency.&nbsp; The company intends to explore a spin-off and potential IPO of its subsidiary.</p>
<p align="left">According to industry analysis, the global financial reporting software market was valued at approximately $13.9 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $36.6 billion by 2030, driven by increasing regulatory complexity and demand for automation.&nbsp; Focus Universal believes its AI-driven technology is well positioned to address this growing demand by replacing manual, error-prone workflows with intelligent, scalable automation.</p>

<p>ONTARIO, CA - February 5, 2026 (<a href="https://www.newmediawire.com">NEWMEDIAWIRE</a>) - Focus Universal Inc. (Nasdaq: FCUV) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a provider of patented hardware and software design technologies for Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, announces that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock (the "Reverse Split"). The Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split proposal by unanimous written consent on January 27, 2026. </p>
<p>The Reverse Split will be effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 9, 2026, and will be reflected with the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") and in the marketplace at the open of business on February 9, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), whereupon the common stock shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis. In connection with the Reverse Split, the Company's common stock shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "FCUV" but will trade under a new CUSIP Number, 34417J 500.</p>
<p>As of the Effective Date, every 10 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. The par value per share of the Company's common stock will remain unchanged. As of January 27, 2026, there were 9,865,249 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Split, there will be approximately 986,524 common stock shares outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the effect of not issuing any fractional shares). No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. Furthermore, proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's equity awards, securities and warrants, if any, as well as the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans.</p>
<p>The Company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will serve as the exchange agent and paying agent for the Reverse Split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in "street name" will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, subject to each broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split.</p>
<p>Additional information about the reverse stock split will be found in the Company's 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2026 a copy of which will be available at <a href="www.sec.gov">www.sec.gov</a>.</p>
