Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased 2.11% to $49.40 million. This was driven by a 91.22% drop in senior care services revenue (ceased in H2 2024) and a 14.86% drop in educational consulting, partially offset by growth in installation/maintenance (+7.87%) and housekeeping (+2.93%).
• Improved Profitability: Net loss from continuing operations improved significantly by 69.13% to $5.91 million. This was primarily due to a 37.45% reduction in sales and marketing expenses and a 14.94% reduction in general and administrative expenses.
• Discontinued Operations: The company recognized a gain of $2.83 million on the disposal of its Zhongrun subsidiary (pharmaceutical business), which was reclassified as a discontinued operation.
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $72.75 million to $173.03 million, bolstered by $108.07 million in proceeds from equity issuances during the fiscal year.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary & Outlook:

• Management expects current cash levels and financing proceeds to meet operational needs for at least the next 12 months.
• The company ceased senior care services in the second half of 2024 due to declining market demand.
• Future growth depends on expanding service offerings, managing labor costs, and navigating the Chinese economic environment.

Material Risks & Contingencies:

• Regulatory Compliance (China): The company is currently not in compliance with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) "New Overseas Listing Rules" regarding filing requirements for overseas offerings. Failure to comply could result in fines (RMB 1 million to 10 million) or penalties.
• Internal Controls: Management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, citing insufficient qualified accounting personnel and lack of adequate review functions.
• Delisting Risk: The company has undergone multiple reverse stock splits to maintain Nasdaq listing requirements. Continued failure to meet minimum bid price requirements could lead to delisting.
• HFCA Act: While the current auditor is subject to PCAOB inspection, future inability of the PCAOB to inspect auditors in China could lead to trading prohibitions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act.

Investor Verification Checklist

• CSRC Filing Status: Verify the company's current status regarding the mandatory filing with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) under the New Overseas Listing Rules and any potential penalties incurred.
• Internal Control Remediation: Review the specific steps and timeline management has established to remediate the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Capital Structure: Confirm the impact of the March 2025 capital reorganization and May 2025 reverse stock split on share count and par value.
• Senior Care Exit: Assess the long-term strategic impact of ceasing the senior care services segment and the company's ability to replace that revenue stream.
• Related Party Transactions: Review the nature and terms of loans and temporary working capital provided by major shareholders (e.g., Mr. Wenshan Xie) to ensure arm's length terms.
