Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Legal Developments
- Case Withdrawal: On May 5, 2025, the Nan County People's Procuratorate (NCCP) withdrew charges against major shareholders Mr. Huajun Gao and Mr. Aimin Kong, as well as related party Nanjing Jinwang Art Purchase E-commerce Co., Ltd., citing a lack of evidence.

- Asset Unfreezing: On May 15, 2025, the Nan County Public Safety Bureau unfroze bank accounts for Nanjing Jinwang and three subsidiaries of the company's Chinese variable interest entity: Kashi Longrui, Kashi Dongfang, and Nanjing Yanyu.
- Background: The accounts had been frozen since July 1, 2022, following the detention of the shareholders on charges of assisting in illegal online business operations.
Outlook and Risks
The resolution of this case removes a material contingency that had restricted the company's access to escrow funds and subsidiary bank accounts since 2022. With the charges withdrawn and accounts unfrozen, the immediate legal risk associated with this specific investigation has been eliminated. The filing does not provide forward-looking financial guidance or discuss other operational risks.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the status of customer security deposits held in the previously frozen trust account.
- Verify the operational resumption of the unfrozen subsidiaries (Kashi Longrui, Kashi Dongfang, Nanjing Yanyu).
- Review subsequent financial reports to assess the impact of the 2022-2025 freeze on historical liquidity and revenue recognition.
- Ensure no other pending investigations exist against the company or its management in China.
