PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Focus Universal Inc. (the “Company”) of proxies to be voted at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Company’s headquarters located at 2311 East Locust Court, Ontario, California 91761 at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Wednesday, May 18, 2023 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed to shareholders commencing on or about the Record Date.

Shares represented by a duly executed proxy in the accompanying form received by the Company prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy. Any shareholder granting a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by granting a proxy bearing a later date, by giving notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will be asked: (i) to elect five members to the Board of Directors of the Company to serve until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; (ii) to ratify the selection of Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; and (iii) To approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, from 75,000,000 to 750,000,000.

If a shareholder is not the record holder, such as where the shares are held through a broker, bank or other financial institution, the shareholder must provide voting instructions to the record holder of the shares in accordance with the record holder’s requirements in order to ensure the shares are properly voted. Your broker will not be permitted to vote on your behalf unless you provide specific instructions by completing and returning the voting instruction form or following the instructions provided to you to vote your shares. For your vote to be counted, you now will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker, bank or other financial institution before the date of the shareholders meeting.

The close of business on March 21, 2023 has been fixed by the Board of Directors as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Only the holders of record of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at the close of business on the record date, are entitled to vote on the matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 64,819,490 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum. If there is less than a quorum, a majority of those present in person or by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting. A plurality vote of the holders of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting, a quorum being present, is required for the election of the directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting, a quorum being present, is necessary for the ratification of the appointment of Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Abstentions, votes withheld and shares not voted, including broker non-votes, are not included in determining the number of votes cast for the election of the directors or for the approval of Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes, are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, monitoring the independence and performance of our external auditors, and monitoring our compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The functions of the Audit Committee also include reviewing periodically with our independent registered public accounting firm the performance of the services for which they are engaged, including reviewing the scope of the annual audit and its results, reviewing with management and the auditors the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, reviewing with management and the auditors the financial results prior to the filing of quarterly and annual reports, reviewing fees charged by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing any transactions between our Company and related parties. Our independent registered public accounting firm reports directly and is accountable solely to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to hire and fire the independent registered public accounting firm and is responsible for the oversight of the performance of their duties, including ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also approves in advance the retention of, and all fees to be paid to, the independent registered public accounting firm. The rendering of any auditing services and all non-auditing services by the independent registered public accounting firm is subject to prior approval of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter. The Audit Committee is required to be composed of directors who are independent under the rules of the SEC and the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). The current members of the Audit Committee are directors Mr. Michael Pope, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, Mr. Carine Clark, and Sean Warren all of whom have been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent under the NASDAQ listing standards and rules adopted by the SEC applicable to audit committee members. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Michael Pope qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules adopted by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Audit Committee met four times during 2022.

Compensation Committee

The primary duties and responsibilities of our standing Compensation Committee are to review, modify and approve the overall compensation policies for the Company, including the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other senior management; establish and assess the adequacy of director compensation; and approve the adoption, amendment and termination of the Company’s stock option plans, pension and profit-sharing plans, bonus plans and similar programs. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers the authority to make grants of options and restricted stock to eligible individuals other than officers and directors, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to form subcommittees and to delegate authority to any such subcommittee. The Compensation Committee also has the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants. Moreover, the Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director, Chief Executive Officer or senior executive compensation, including sole authority to approve such consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms, all at the Company’s expense.

Each of the Compensation Committee members has been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent under NASDAQ listing standards applicable to compensation committee members. The Compensation Committee met four times during 2022.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies, reviews and evaluates candidates to serve on the Board; reviews and assesses the performance of the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board; and assesses the independence of our directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing the composition of the Board’s committees and making recommendations to the entire Board of Directors regarding the chairpersonship and membership of each committee. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing corporate governance principles and periodically reviewing and assessing such principles, as well as periodically reviewing the Company’s policy statements to determine their adherence to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a charter that identifies the procedures whereby Board of Director candidates are identified primarily through suggestions made by directors, management and shareholders of the Company. We have implemented no material changes in the past year to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees for the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders that are submitted in writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner and which provide necessary biographical and business experience information regarding the nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the criteria considered by the Nominating Committee, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a shareholder. The Board of Directors does not prescribe any minimum qualifications for director candidates, and all candidates for director will be evaluated based on their qualifications, diversity, age, skill and such other factors as deemed appropriate by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee given the current needs of the Board of Directors, the committees of the Board of Directors and the Company. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy on diversity, it considers the criteria noted above in selecting nominees for directors, including members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise. Absent other factors which may be material to its evaluation of a candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee expects to recommend to the Board of Directors for selection incumbent directors who express an interest in continuing to serve on the Board. Following its evaluation of a proposed director’s candidacy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation as to whether the Board of Directors should nominate the proposed director candidate for election by the shareholders of the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter. No member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be an employee of the Company, and each member must satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ and the SEC.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of directors Mr. Sean Warren, who is the Chairperson of the committee, Mr. Michael Pope and Ms. Carine Clark. Each of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent under NASDAQ listing standards.

Communications with our Board of Directors

In order to provide the Company’s security holders and other interested parties with a direct and open line of communication to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors has adopted the following procedures for communications to directors. The Company’s security holders and other interested persons may communicate with the Chairperson of the Company’s Audit Committee or with the non-management directors of the Company as a group by mailing a letter addressed in care of the Corporate Secretary, Focus Universal Inc., 2311 East Locust Court, Ontario, California 91761.

All communications received in accordance with these procedures will be reviewed initially by the Company’s Secretary and/or other executive officers. The Company will relay all such communications to the appropriate director or directors unless the Secretary determines that the communication:

The director or directors who receive any such communication will have discretion to determine whether the subject matter of the communication should be brought to the attention of the full Board of Directors or one or more of its committees, and whether any response to the person sending the communication is appropriate. Any such response will be made only in accordance with applicable law and regulations relating to the disclosure of information.

The Secretary will retain copies of all communications received pursuant to these procedures for a period of at least one year. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will review the effectiveness of these procedures from time to time and, if appropriate, recommend changes.

Oversight of Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including economic risks, financial risks, legal and regulatory risks and others, such as the impact of competition. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Our Board of Directors assesses major risks facing our Company and options for their mitigation in order to promote our shareholders’ interests in the long-term health of our Company and our overall success and financial strength. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. The involvement of our full Board of Directors in the risk oversight process allows our Board of Directors to assess management’s appetite for risk and also determine what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our Company. Our Board of Directors regularly includes agenda items at its meetings relating to its risk oversight role and meets with various members of management on a range of topics, including corporate governance and regulatory obligations, operations and significant transactions, risk management, insurance, pending and threatened litigation and significant commercial disputes.

While our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, various committees of our Board of Directors oversee risk management in their respective areas and regularly report on their activities to our entire Board of Directors. In particular, the Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for the oversight of financial risks facing our Company. The Audit Committee’s charter provides that it will discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps we have taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Board of Directors has also delegated primary responsibility for the oversight of all executive compensation and our employee benefit programs to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee strives to create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking behavior consistent with our business strategy.

We believe the division of risk management responsibilities described above is an effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our Board of Director’s leadership structure provides appropriate checks and balances against undue risk taking.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of ethical conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and senior financial management. This code of ethical conduct is embodied within our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all persons associated with our Company, including our directors, officers and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller). In order to satisfy our disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K, we will disclose amendments to, or waivers of, certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions on our corporate website, www.focusuniversal.com, promptly following the adoption of any such amendment or waiver. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides that any waivers of, or changes to, the code that apply to the Company’s executive officers or directors may be made only by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics includes updated procedures for non-executive officer employees to seek waivers of the code.

Director Independence

Our Company is governed by our Board of Directors. Currently, each member of our Board of Directors, other than Dr. Edward Lee, Dr. Desheng Wang, is an independent director; and all standing committees of our Board of Directors are composed entirely of independent directors, in each case under NASDAQ’s independence definition applicable to boards of directors. For a director to be considered independent, our Board of Directors must determine that the director has no relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Members of the Audit Committee also must satisfy a separate SEC independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation. In addition, under SEC rules, an Audit Committee member who is an affiliate of the issuer (other than through service as a director) cannot be deemed to be independent. In determining the independence of members of the Compensation Committee, NASDAQ listing standards require our Board of Directors to consider certain factors, including, but not limited to: (1) the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by us to the director, and (2) whether the director is affiliated with us, one of our subsidiaries or an affiliate of one of our subsidiaries. Under our Compensation Committee Charter, members of the Compensation Committee also must qualify as “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The independent members of the Board of Directors are Michael Pope, Sean Warren and Carine Clark.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Program and Philosophy

The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee has the authority to review and determine the salaries and bonuses of the executive officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers, and to establish the overall compensation policies for the Company.

The charter reflects these various responsibilities, and the Committee is charged with periodically reviewing the charter. The Committee’s membership is determined by the Board of Directors and is composed entirely of independent directors. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others, including independent compensation consultants who do not advise the Company, to assist the Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of directors Ms. Carine Clark, Mr. Sean Warren, and Mr. Michael Pope. Ms. Carine Clark is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee. Each of the Compensation Committee members has been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent under NASDAQ listing standards applicable to compensation committee members. The Compensation Committee met four times during 2022.

The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation programs for the Company’s executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance, support the short- and long-term strategic goals and values of the Company, reward individual contribution to the Company’s success and align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Company is engaged in a very competitive industry, and the Company’s success depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified executives through the competitive compensation packages it offers to such individuals. To that end, it is the view of the Board that the total compensation program for executive officers should consist of all or most of the following components:

The Committee does not rely solely on predetermined formulas or a limited set of criteria when it evaluates the performance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s other executive officers. Typically, our Chief Executive Officer makes compensation recommendations to the Committee with respect to the compensation of our officers, and the Committee may accept or adjust such recommendations in its discretion.

The total compensation packages for executive officers are determined initially by evaluating the responsibilities of the position, the experience of the individual and the competition in the marketplace for management talent, and also may include comparison with companies confronting problems of the magnitude and complexity faced by the Company.

Compensation of our executive officers intended to be competitive with the overall marketplace, commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the named executive officer. The Company’s compensation structure is intended to provide the necessary incentive to retain and motivate qualified personnel. Individuals are encouraged to add value and provide benefit in all aspects of the Company’s operations currently and in the future.

Total compensation packages and adjustments thereto are evaluated on a number of factors, both internal and external in nature. The most important factor is the executive’s performance and contribution to the Company, followed by the performance of the Company, any increased responsibilities assumed by the executive and the competition in the marketplace for similarly experienced executives.

The compensation packages of the named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis and may also be adjusted from time to time based on changes in responsibilities or as a result of other external and economic factors.

We offer health, dental and vision insurance to all of our employees, including the named executive officers.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation paid to certain of their executive officers, to the extent that compensation exceeds $1 million per covered officer in any fiscal year. The limitation applies only to compensation which is not considered to be performance based. Non-performance based compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers for the 2022 fiscal year did not exceed the $1 million limit per officer, and the Compensation Committee does not anticipate that the non-performance-based compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers for the 2023 fiscal year will exceed that limit. Because it is unlikely that the cash non-performance-based compensation payable to any of the Company’s executive officers in the foreseeable future will approach the $1 million limit, the Compensation Committee has decided at this time not to take any action to limit or restructure the elements of cash compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee will reconsider this decision should the individual cash non-performance-based compensation of any executive officer ever approach the $1 million level.

Compensation of Officers

The following summary compensation table sets forth information concerning compensation for services rendered in all capacities during fiscal years 2021 and 2020 awarded to, earned by or paid to our “named executive officers.”

Narrative Disclosure Requirement for Summary Compensation Table

Dr. Desheng Wang entered into an employment agreement with the Company whereby the Company agreed to pay Dr. Wang a salary of $124,615 per year, payable monthly, for his services as Chief Executive Officer, effective as of November 1, 2018. On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Irving Kau, pursuant to which he has served as the Company’s Vice President of Finance and Head of Investor Relations. This one-year employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $150,000, of which he received $15,962 in 2021. Additionally, the Company granted to Mr. Kau 10,000 bonus management shares in 2,500 blocks every quarter if certain performances metrics are met during the employment term. After the initial one-year employment period, the Company conducted an evaluation of Mr. Kau’s performance and promoted him to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, in which case his annual salary will be increased to $200,000 and he will receive an additional 10,000 bonus management shares. In 2022, Mr. Kau was paid $150,000 plus a $10,000 incentive cash bonus.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no other officer or director has formally entered into any compensation arrangement for services provided under consulting agreements or employment agreements. We offer health, dental and vision insurance to all of our employees, including the named executive officers.

Retirement, Resignation or Termination Plans

We sponsor no plan, whether written or verbal, that would provide compensation or benefits of any type to an executive upon retirement, or any plan that would provide payment for retirement, resignation, or termination as a result of a change in control of our company or as a result of a change in the responsibilities of an executive following a change in control of our company.

Directors’ Compensation

The persons who served as affiliated members of our Board of Directors, including executive officers, did not receive any compensation for services as directors in 2021 or 2022. As of the date of this report, no director has formally entered into any compensation arrangement for services provided under consulting agreements or employment agreements.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, all directors have been issued 60,000 options per person pursuant to our 2018 Stock Option Plan and such options will vest over a period of one year. On August 4, 2022, the Board moved to increase their compensation to $10,000 per quarter. In 2021 and 2022, all independent directors were paid $20,000 cash, except for Sheri Lofgren, who received $25,000 for serving as the chair of the audit committee. Additionally, a company affiliated with Mr. Pope received $120,000 for advisory services in 2021, which included

$72,000 in cash and $48,000 in stock.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested

On December 17, 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Stock Option Plan (the “2018 Stock Option Plan”) whereby the Company reserved for issuance 1,000,000 shares of common stock and agreed that such shares shall, when issued and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 Stock Option Plan, constitute validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.

Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The Company does not maintain any qualified retirement plans or non-nonqualified deferred compensation plans for its employees or directors.

Executive Officer Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

The following table provides certain information concerning any common share purchase options, stock awards or equity incentive plan awards held by each of our named executive officers that were outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Please note that the Board has hired an outside consultant to assist the Board in determining whether to apply a dividend adjustment to the Option Awards by increasing the number of shares the Board was awarded by 33% and/or decreasing the exercise price by a corresponding 33%, evaluating fairness and their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders.

On February 11, 2022, each of Dr. Desheng Wang and Duncan Lee entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement with the Company whereby each individual was granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of our 2018 Stock Option Plan. These shares will vest in a series of five successive equal annual installments of 2,000 shares each over the five-year period measured from the grant date, provided that the respective individual is continuously employed by the Company through such dates.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2023: (i) by each of our directors, (ii) by each of the named executive officers, (iii) by all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and (iv) by each person or entity known by us to beneficially own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our outstanding shares. As of March 31, 2023, there were 64,819,490 shares of our common stock outstanding.

(1) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 64,819,490 shares of common stock outstanding on March 31, 2023.

Percentage ownership is determined based on shares owned together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of March 31, 2023, for each shareholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2023, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Our common stock is our only issued and outstanding class of securities eligible to vote.

As of March 31, 2023, there were 37,252,430 shares of common stock outstanding owned by our officers and directors, which is 57,47% of our total outstanding common stock.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. The Reporting Persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us by our officers and directors, we believe that the Reporting Persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) reporting requirements and that all required reports were filed in a timely manner during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Consulting services provided by the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Revenue generated from Vitashower Corp., a company owned by the CEO’s wife, amounted to $1,536 and $29,084 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accounts receivable from Vitashower Corp. amounted to $34,507 and $15,176 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Director Independence

A director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Our director Edward Lee is also our Chairman; our director Desheng Wang is also our Chief Executive Officer. The rest of our directors are considered to be independent directors.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Based on the direction of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors is proposing that the shareholders ratify the appointment of Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Your ratification of the appointment of Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 does not preclude the Board of Directors from terminating its engagement of Reliant CPA PC and retaining a new independent registered public accounting firm if it determines that such an action would be in the best interests of the Company. The Company has been advised by Reliant CPA PC that neither that firm nor any of its partners had any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, except as independent certified public accountants. A representative of Reliant CPA PC is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions from the shareholders.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Reliant CPA PC.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table summarizes the fees billed by Reliant CPA PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Audit fees consist of fees related to professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements. Tax fees represent fees related to preparation of our corporation income tax returns. Our policy is to pre- approve all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The information contained in this Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing (except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference) and shall not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act (except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference).

The Audit Committee is comprised of directors Mr. Michael Pope, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, Ms. Carine Clark and Mr. Sean Warren, all of whom have been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent under the NASDAQ listing standards and rules adopted by the SEC applicable to audit committee members. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Michael Pope qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules adopted by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The duties and responsibilities of a member of the Audit Committee are in addition to his or her duties as a member of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our corporate website, www.focusuniversal.com. The Audit Committee met four times during 2022.

The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, monitoring the independence and performance of the Company’s external auditors, and monitoring the Company’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The functions of the Audit Committee also include reviewing periodically with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the performance of the services for which they are engaged, including reviewing the scope of the annual audit and its results, reviewing with management and the auditors the adequacy of the Company’s internal accounting controls, reviewing with management and the auditors the financial results prior to the filing of quarterly and annual reports, reviewing fees charged by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing any transactions between the Company and related parties. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm reports directly and is accountable solely to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to hire and fire the independent registered public accounting firm and is responsible for the oversight of the performance of their duties, including ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also approves in advance the retention of, and all fees to be paid to, the independent registered public accounting firm. The rendering of any auditing services and all non- auditing services by the independent registered public accounting firm is subject to prior approval of the Audit Committee.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In carrying out these responsibilities, the Audit Committee monitored the Company’s operational effectiveness regarding the progress and completion of the implementation of the Company’s internal controls.

In overseeing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee met with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and management, and held meetings with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, both in the presence of management and privately, to review and discuss all financial statements prior to their issuance, the overall scope and plans for the preparation of the financial statements and respective audit, and the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls and significant accounting issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee discussed the statements with both management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with Section 204 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 16-1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), the Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm all matters required to be discussed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the foregoing standards. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

With respect to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee, among other things, discussed with Reliant CPA PC matters relating to their independence, including the written disclosures made to the Audit Committee as required by the PCAOB Rule 3526, Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed and approved the audit fees of Reliant CPA PC.

On the basis of these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee (i) appointed Reliant CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and (ii) recommended to the Board of Directors that it approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.
