Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hang Feng Technology Innovation Co., Ltd. (“Hang Feng Technology Innovation” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed company headquartered in Hong Kong, announced its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “Reporting Period”) as previously furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a current report on Form 6-K on September 4, 2026. The Company continues to execute its long-term strategic transformation while maintaining a highly capitalized and resilient balance sheet.

Key Financial & Operational Highlights

Capital Resources & Balance Sheet: As of June 30, 2026, total assets were $8,215,946, including $6,606,369 in cash. Total shareholders’ equity remained at $8,015,004.Financial Performance: Total revenue for the Reporting Period was $362,511 (compared to $1,327,707 in the first half of 2025).

The net loss was primarily attributable to a sharp decline in revenue from the management consulting business. The decrease in corporate management consulting services revenue was primarily due to the Company’s shift in its strategic focus, which resulted in a reduction in business development and marketing activities for its existing operations and a reallocation of resources toward the development of its RWA initiatives. In response to these adjustments, the Company has been actively exploring new market opportunities to realign its operations with the evolving environment.Interest Income Cushion: The Company recorded $329,755 in loan interest revenue during the Reporting Period, delivering a source of cash flow as core operations undergo realignment.

Strategic Corporate Development & Operational Updates

Incorporation of Singapore Subsidiary: In May 2026, the Company incorporated a wholly‑owned subsidiary, HF Helios AI PTE Limited, in Singapore. The subsidiary was established to prepare for prospective cross‑border and tech‑driven business initiatives, and has not yet commenced operations.Capital Structure Reorganization: Following shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting on June 12, 2026, the Company completed a share capital re‑designation.

Subsequent to the Reporting Period, on July 7, 2026, HF IAM was granted a Type 1 (Dealing in Securities) license. The Company continues to advance its license portfolio to support diversified financial offerings.

Executive Commentary

XU Zhiheng, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Feng Technology Innovation, stated:

“The first half of 2026 was a period of proactive strategic reassessment for Hang Feng Technology Innovation. As highlighted in our financial report, our financial results reflect the shift in our strategic focus, leading to a planned reduction in business development and marketing activities for our traditional consulting sector as we reallocate resources toward our long-term RWA initiatives. Backed by a sound balance sheet with over $8 million in total assets and available liquid reserves, we believe we are well‑positioned to navigate near‑term uncertainties while remaining focused on long‑term value creation for our shareholders.”

ECOVACS Defines the Future of Robotic Floor Cleaning with Third-Generation OZMO ROLLER Technology

Published

on

By

BERLIN, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2026, ECOVACS is advancing the roller-mopping category it pioneered and helped define with the latest evolution of its proprietary OZMO ROLLER Instant Self-Washing Mopping Technology—OZMO ROLLER 3.0, featured in the new DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone.

ECOVACS first introduced OZMO ROLLER with the DEEBOT X8 series in 2024, bringing the continuous clean-water circulation principle of floor washers into robotic vacuum cleaners. Since then, the technology has evolved through three generations—from the original OZMO ROLLER, to OZMO ROLLER 2.0 on DEEBOT X11, and now OZMO ROLLER 3.0 on DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone.

The technology has also been adopted at scale. According to ECOVACS’ internal shipment data, more than 2.8 million OZMO ROLLER-equipped units had been shipped globally as of July 2026.

While others are entering the category, ECOVACS is already advancing its technology into its third generation—built on two years of product development, real-world use and global market experience.

The Roller Changes the Cleaning Experience

The fundamental advantage of a roller is simple, the cleaning surface is continuously refreshed while the robot cleans.

Unlike conventional mop pads, which can accumulate dirt as they make repeated passes across the floor, OZMO ROLLER continuously cleans itself during operation. Fresh water is delivered to the roller before it reaches the floor, while loosened dirt and wastewater are removed as the roller rotates.

This creates a fundamentally different cleaning process: rather than cleaning the mop only after the task is complete, OZMO ROLLER keeps refreshing the cleaning surface throughout the task. The result is more consistent contact with a cleaner mopping surface from start to finish, helping reduce the risk of dirt being redistributed across the floor.

In other words, the goal is not simply to make a robot mop harder—it is to rethink how the robot cleans in the first place.

From One Generation to the Next

ECOVACS’ development of OZMO ROLLER has been driven by a continuous focus on the challenges users encounter in real homes.

With OZMO ROLLER 2.0 on DEEBOT X11, ECOVACS further refined the water and mechanical systems behind its “wash as you mop” approach. Its proprietary spray–wash–scrape–collect process continuously supplies fresh water while removing loosened dirt and wastewater, helping maintain effective contact between the roller and the floor.

The system also evolved to address more demanding cleaning scenarios. A high-density nylon mop helps tackle tougher stains, while AI Stain Detection 2.0 adjusts cleaning strategies according to the type and severity of stains. TruEdge 3.0 helps the robot clean closer to walls and obstacles, reducing missed areas along edges and corners.

With OZMO ROLLER 3.0, ECOVACS takes the concept further. The longer roller is designed to improve cleaning efficiency, while the μm-level microfiber roller helps reduce residual water after cleaning. Each generation builds on the previous one with a clear objective: to deliver more effective cleaning while requiring less intervention from the user.

Technology Built to Keep Advancing

The evolution of OZMO ROLLER reflects more than a single product innovation. It is enabled by ECOVACS’ broader capabilities across robotics, sensing, algorithms, core components and intelligent manufacturing, allowing the company to develop the robotic system around the cleaning task as a whole.

ECOVACS has been granted more than 3,100 patents and invested more than RMB 5.2 billion in R&D since 2018. These capabilities support the company’s ability to translate insights from real-world use into successive generations of technology.

For ECOVACS, defining a category is only the starting point. The real measure of leadership is the ability to keep advancing it.

From the first OZMO ROLLER in 2024 to today’s third-generation OZMO ROLLER 3.0, ECOVACS has continued to refine the roller-mopping experience around a simple principle: a mop should not become dirtier as it cleans.

With OZMO ROLLER 3.0, ECOVACS is continuing to push the boundaries of robotic floor cleaning—bringing the benefits of a continuously refreshed cleaning surface to more homes and setting a higher standard for what roller-mopping technology can deliver.

2 Teens Spotted an Opportunity in the E-Motorcycle Market. Their Solution Grossed $10K in Year One.

Published

on

By

At ages 15 and 16, Nico Bennetti and Kelton Fernandes spotted a problem in the booming e-motorcycle industry and built a solution that grossed $10,000 in year one. Now the duo has expanded their company, Endo Powersports, to 60+ quality parts while prioritizing fair pricing for their peer demographic.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Endo Powersports, founded by Nico Bennetti and Kelton Fernandes, generated more than $10,000 in its first year selling a custom hall sensor cover and has since expanded its catalog to more than 60 e-motorcycle parts.

“A lot of businesses look at teenagers as a market to exploit. We looked at it as a market we’re part of. That changes everything about how we make decisions.” — Nico Bennetti

Nico Bennetti and Kelton Fernandes were working on their e-motorcycles when they started spitballing ideas for a product to sell in the e-moto industry. They targeted the hall sensor cover, protective shields that guard motor sensors from water and debris on Surron and Talaria models, the two most popular e-motorcycle manufacturers in the US. The problem: these covers were made of flimsy cast aluminum that cracked easily and were just blank disks.

“Every Surron and Talaria e-bike had a hall sensor cover, but none were unique or interesting,” Bennetti, now 17, recalled. “We thought to ourselves: what if we could make that part better?”

Two years ago, at ages 15 and 16, Bennetti and Fernandes conducted R&D. They envisioned a high-quality aluminum cover that could be custom-engraved, improve protection, and reflect the rider’s personality. What began as a conversation became Endo Powersports.

The journey from concept to product exposed them to challenges most teenagers never face: material sourcing, manufacturing partnerships, and quality control. They settled on 6061-T6 aluminum, an aircraft-grade alloy that’s less likely to crack under impact, offers natural corrosion resistance, and transfers heat away from motor components more efficiently than cast aluminum.

Sourcing a manufacturer proved harder than expected. Bennetti and Fernandes spent weeks cold-emailing CNC manufacturers in China, most of which ignored them. Persistence paid off. They found a partner capable of producing to spec and secured local engraving capabilities to complete the product.

“We really liked the fact that we found a material that we could source and would bring a higher quality option to our customers,” Bennetti explained.

From there, Bennetti designed the initial Shopify website and created a TikTok presence to market the covers. In their first year, selling only the custom engraved hall sensor cover, they grossed over $10,000. That success validated the idea: genuine demand existed for quality customization in an underserved market.

Building on that success, Bennetti and Fernandes expanded significantly this past year. They now offer over 60 quality-sourced e-motorcycle parts, transforming from a single-product business into a legitimate parts supplier.

The timing is right. According to Intel Market Research, the global electric dirt bike market was valued at $3.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2026 to $19.3 billion by 2034. North America remains one of the fastest-growing electric dirt bike markets.

But growth alone doesn’t explain their pricing approach. When they looked at their target market, teenagers shopping for quality parts, they made a deliberate choice.

“E-motorcycle parts were either cheaply made and overpriced or high quality but priced even higher,” Bennetti said. “We saw teenagers getting taken advantage of and thought it was unethical. Kelton and I found a way to source quality parts, keep profit margins minimal, and price them fairly. We built a company based on what we’d expect from a business ourselves.”

This philosophy extends to Bennetti’s secondary venture, NB Designs, a custom e-motorcycle build and resale business that sources stock motorcycles and performs full-custom builds with powder coating and bespoke design work.

The dual ventures reflect something larger. Bennetti and Fernandes view their market not as a demographic to exploit, but as a community they’re part of.

“A lot of businesses look at teenagers as a market to exploit,” Bennetti reflected. “We looked at it as a market we’re part of. That changes everything about how we make decisions.”
