Reporting Period: Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2025
Jurisdiction: Cayman Islands (Foreign Private Issuer, Emerging Growth Company)
Business Model: Global business enabler providing cross-border licensing solutions, regulatory consultancy, and corporate secretarial services.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Corporate services income increased 12.2% to $4.45 million, driven by an increase in client count (61 clients in 2025 vs. 57 in 2024) and higher service utilization. Corporate secretarial services grew 21.4%, while licensing services grew 4.2%.
• Profitability Decline: Despite revenue growth, Net Profit decreased 31.9% to $559,663. This was primarily due to a 55.8% increase in "Other operating expenses" (driven by $509k in IPO-related professional fees) and a 118.2% increase in operating lease expenses due to new office leases in Singapore.
• Liquidity Surge: Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly to $13.2 million, primarily due to $13.7 million in net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (IPO) completed in June 2025. Operating cash flow remained negative ($1.72 million outflow) due to working capital changes, including a $2.1 million increase in deposits (related to a terminated commodity transaction).
• Expense Structure: Payroll and employee benefits increased 28.3% due to new Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance required for public company status.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Outlook: Management plans to expand physical presence into Dubai, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Jakarta. The company intends to diversify its service portfolio by expanding regulatory technology (RegTech) offerings, including automated KYC and AML checks via a CRM platform.
• Dividend Policy: The company anticipates adopting a policy of declaring and paying dividends of not less than 15% of distributable profits annually, though no dividends were paid in 2024 or 2025.
• Key Risks:
  • Customer Concentration: The top two customers accounted for 49.9% of total revenue in 2025. Loss of these clients would materially impact operations.
  • Regulatory & Geopolitical: Operations are heavily dependent on regulatory environments in Singapore, Hong Kong, and mainland China. Geopolitical tensions (e.g., Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine) have previously slowed client acquisition.
  • Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2025, citing a lack of sufficient personnel with adequate US GAAP expertise. Remediation steps are underway.
  • One-Off Transactions: Historical results include non-recurring one-off transactions; future performance may not be indicative of past trends.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Customer Concentration: Verify the stability of contracts with the top two clients representing ~50% of revenue.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on hiring US GAAP experts and implementing formalized training to address the ineffective disclosure controls.
• Deposit Recovery: Confirm the full refund of the $2 million deposit related to the terminated commodity sale and purchase agreement (noted as refunded in October 2025).
• Regulatory Compliance: Assess the impact of evolving regulations in Singapore (Corporate Service Providers Act 2024) and potential PRC tax residency risks.
• Expense Sustainability: Evaluate whether the elevated professional fees and lease costs in 2025 are recurring or one-time IPO-related expenses.
