Financial Metrics

· Revenue: HeartCore’s total revenue for 2023 was $21.8 million

· EPS: HeartCore’s EPS for 2023 was -0.21

Assumptions

· In 5 years, HeartCore’s revenue will conservatively be $30.3 million because of possible expansion of the business units into other countries. Organic growth of the technology verticals and the consultation units will realize future revenue.

· In 5 years, HeartCore’s earnings will be $5.5 million. This will be affected by the company’s ability to continue streamlining all operation processes.

Risks and Mitigants

· Hedge for USD/JPY exchange rate volatility.

· HeartCore faces risks of declining subscription renewals, shorter contracts or lower tier-services, targeting businesses with CMS, DX, RPA and AI solutions should mitigate this threat.

· Reduced interest in U.S. exchange listing and success in the U.S. markets could deter new clients. Expand the offering outside of Japan.
