Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased by 7.3% to $2.31 million in 2024 compared to $2.49 million in 2023. This was driven by a 38.3% drop in customized software solutions revenue ($1.12 million vs. $1.81 million), partially offset by a 95.7% increase in white-label software revenue and a 50.2% increase in subscription services revenue.
• Shift to Net Loss: The company reported a net loss of $431,544 in 2024, a reversal from a net income of $937,609 in 2023. This was primarily due to a 173.3% increase in operating expenses to $2.07 million.
• Expense Surge: Operating expenses rose significantly due to new selling and marketing expenses ($645,687, up from $0), increased legal and professional fees ($623,739), and a substantial increase in the provision for expected credit losses ($311,539 vs. $13,864).
• Liquidity Improvement: The company moved from a working capital deficit of $268,232 in 2023 to a net current asset position of $66,210 in 2024, bolstered by proceeds from its IPO and secondary offering.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern: The filing notes that the company had a working capital deficit in 2022 and 2023, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes this doubt has been alleviated by the IPO proceeds ($4.4 million gross) and a subsequent secondary offering ($10 million gross), along with financial support from the controlling shareholder.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024. Material weaknesses were identified regarding insufficient accounting personnel, lack of internal audit functions, and inadequate IT general controls.
• Listing Compliance: The company received notice from Nasdaq that it failed to maintain the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for 33 consecutive business days ending April 25, 2025. It has a 180-day compliance period to regain compliance.
• Regulatory Risks: Significant risks exist regarding the potential application of PRC laws (including cybersecurity and data privacy laws) to the company's Hong Kong operations, which could impact its ability to list on U.S. exchanges or operate profitably.
• Customer Concentration: For 2024, two customers accounted for 32.4% and 15.3% of total revenues, respectively.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Revenue Sustainability: Verify the reasons for the 38% decline in the core "customized software solutions" revenue stream and the sustainability of the growth in white-label software.
• Expense Management: Assess whether the sharp increase in operating expenses (particularly marketing and legal fees) is a one-time cost associated with the IPO or a recurring burden that will impact future profitability.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor the company's progress in addressing the identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Nasdaq Compliance: Track the company's ability to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement within the 180-day window to avoid delisting.
• Going Concern Status: Confirm that the cash raised from the secondary offering is sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months given the recent net loss.
