WEST COVINA, CA - April 1, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Focus Universal Inc. (NASDAQ: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  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.  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.

“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.

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.  The company intends to explore a spin-off and potential IPO of its subsidiary.

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.  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.
