Summary

- The company may receive an additional $460,000 in gross proceeds upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, issuing a remaining $500,000 principal of the note.
- The company is not selling any shares under this prospectus and will not receive proceeds from the selling shareholder's sales.

- Net income decreased by 50.60% to $764,919 for the year ended June 30, 2025, from $1,548,347 in 2024, primarily due to a loss from discontinued operations of $712,887.

Sentiment
Score: 5
Explanation: The company shows strong revenue growth in its continuing operations and is pursuing strategic international expansion. However, this is offset by a significant net loss due to discontinued operations, increased cost of revenues, high customer concentration, and substantial potential dilution from convertible notes, alongside inherent geopolitical and regulatory risks associated with its operating regions.
Positives
- Revenue from continuing operations increased significantly by 462.66% to $4,835,167 for the year ended June 30, 2025, from $859,344 in 2024, reflecting recovery from operational challenges and new customer acquisition.
- Gross profit from continuing operations increased by 190.78% to $2,408,954 for the year ended June 30, 2025, from $828,448 in 2024.
- The company is strategically expanding into international data center development with a project in Finland, diversifying its business beyond software solutions.
- Appointment of new independent directors (Ms. Fenfen Qi, Mr. Hao Liu, Mr. Yu Liu) and establishment of Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Corporate Governance committees, enhancing corporate governance.
- Adoption of the 2025 Share Incentive Plan to attract, motivate, retain, and reward officers, employees, and directors.
- Successful completion of CSRC filing procedures for a previous offering on January 8, 2024, indicating compliance with PRC regulatory requirements for overseas listings.
Negatives
- Net income decreased by 50.60% to $764,919 for the year ended June 30, 2025, from $1,548,347 in 2024, primarily due to a $712,887 loss from discontinued operations.
- Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased significantly to 50.18% for the year ended June 30, 2025, from 3.60% in 2024, due to a higher number of research projects outsourced to third parties, resulting in lower profit margins.
- High customer concentration risk, with the top four customers accounting for 20.68%, 20.01%, 17.15%, and 11.74% of revenue for the year ended June 30, 2025.
- Significant turnover in software solution customers, with new customers representing 80.00% of total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2025, indicating a potential lack of recurring revenue from existing clients.
- The dual-class voting structure limits the ability of Class A Ordinary Shareholders to influence corporate matters, as Class B Ordinary Shares carry 20 votes per share.
- Potential for significant dilution from the conversion of up to 114,503,817 Class A Ordinary Shares from the Convertible Note, and other outstanding convertible notes and warrants.
- The company may have to pay damages to the Selling Shareholder if it fails to comply with certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which would impact cash flows.
- No cash dividends are anticipated in the foreseeable future, as the company intends to reinvest earnings into business expansion.
Risks
- Limited operating history with significant but uneven growth, making future prospects and financial performance difficult to predict.
- The renewable energy utility industry, where the company provides solutions, is a new and evolving market that may not grow as expected, impacting demand.
- Existing and changing regulations might present technical, regulatory, and economic barriers to solar energy system installation, reducing demand.
- Inability to anticipate and develop new services or enhance existing ones to keep pace with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards.
- Risk of losing business to competitors due to underbidding and inability to compete favorably in a highly competitive industry.
- Forced reduction in service prices due to increased competition and reduced bargaining power with customers, leading to reduced revenues and profitability.
- Adverse changes in the economic environment could reduce customer purchases and increase pricing pressure.
- Failure to attract and retain sufficiently trained personnel due to intense competition, negatively affecting project acquisition and revenues.
- Business disruption if senior executives and other key personnel are lost, as the company does not maintain key-man life insurance.
- Reliance on a small number of major customers for exhibition and conferencing services, and significant turnover in software solution customers, posing risks if new customers are not recruited or existing relationships expanded.
- Inability to collect receivables from customers could adversely affect results of operations and cash flows, especially given the lack of collateral.
- Inability to accurately estimate costs and resource requirements for fixed-price projects, reducing margins and profitability.
- Disruptions to customer businesses or inadequate service could lead to substantial damage claims and reputational harm.
- Malfunctioning of technology systems essential to business, or claims of intellectual property infringement by third-party service providers.
- Cyber-attacks and other security incidents impacting confidentiality and integrity of information technology and digital infrastructure could lead to financial loss, data disclosure, reputational damage, and legal obligations.
- Business may be significantly impacted if services of WeChat (used by property management clients) are limited, restricted, or unavailable.
- Risk of costly and time-consuming intellectual property infringement claims, potentially leading to loss of rights or inability to provide existing services.
- Potential need for additional capital and failure to raise it on favorable terms could limit business growth and development of service offerings.
- Failure to adhere to regulations governing the company's or its customers' businesses could result in contract breaches, civil fines, criminal penalties, or inability to perform services.
- Losses from business interruptions due to natural disasters, health epidemics, or other events, as the company lacks business interruption insurance.
- Difficulties in providing complex end-to-end business solutions for customers could cause customers to discontinue their work.
- Ongoing geopolitical tensions around the world (e.g., US-China trade disputes, conflicts in Ukraine/Middle East) may have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Class A Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCA Act) if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company's auditors for two consecutive years.
- Difficulties in protecting shareholder interests and enforcing U.S. court judgments due to BVI law and a less developed body of securities laws compared to the U.S.
- Hong Kong's legal system is evolving and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protection available, including potential influence from the PRC government.
- Potential for becoming subject to various PRC laws and obligations regarding M&A Rules, Trial Measures, and data security, with any failure to comply having a material adverse effect.
- Limited ability of U.S. regulatory agencies to conduct investigations or enforce rules in mainland China.
- Shareholders may experience dilution to the extent that Class A Ordinary Shares are issued upon the exercise of outstanding convertible notes, warrants, or other securities.
- Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price to decline.
- The Selling Shareholder may acquire Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the market price and may be willing to sell at a price less than other public shareholders.
- The dual-class voting structure limits the ability of Class A Ordinary Shareholders to influence corporate matters and could discourage change of control transactions.
- As an emerging growth company, reliance on JOBS Act exemptions from certain disclosure requirements may make Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive to some investors, leading to a less active trading market and more volatility.
Future Outlook
The company plans to significantly expand its customer base and grow revenues by maintaining relationships with existing customers, pursuing additional revenue opportunities, and attracting new clients. It intends to continue investing in research and development to deepen domain expertise and develop specific solutions for target industry verticals, including the solar energy sector. The company will also invest in training and development of its human capital and drive efficiencies through operational improvements and advanced technologies like cloud computing. A key strategic expansion is into the international data center development and hosting business, starting with a project in Finland. The company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future, intending to reinvest future earnings into business expansion.
Management Comments
- We no longer conduct exhibition and conference services in the year ended June 30, 2025, as part of a strategic decision to focus resources on our core software development and overseas business expansion initiatives.
- These sales [of PRC subsidiaries] reflect our broader strategy to reallocate resources toward expanding its overseas operations, particularly in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
- We intend to keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of the business of our Hong Kong subsidiaries, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future to the U.S. investors immediately following the consummation of this offering.
- We plan to significantly expand the number of customers we serve to diversify our customer base and grow our revenues. Revenues from a new customer often rise quickly over the first several years following our initial engagement as we expand the services that we provide to that customer. Therefore, obtaining new customers is important for us to achieve rapid revenue growth.
- The Project [AI data center in Finland] represents the Company's planned expansion into the international data center development and hosting business.

Recommendation
holdThe company is undergoing a significant strategic transformation, divesting its mainland China operations to focus on Hong Kong and international markets, including a new AI data center project in Finland. While revenue from continuing operations shows strong growth, the overall net income has declined due to losses from discontinued operations. The company faces substantial risks related to its operating jurisdictions (Hong Kong/PRC), potential delisting under the HFCA Act, and significant dilution from convertible notes and warrants. The dual-class voting structure also limits the influence of Class A shareholders. Given the high growth potential in its new strategic direction balanced against considerable operational, regulatory, and financial risks, a 'hold' recommendation is appropriate for investors to monitor the execution of its strategy and the mitigation of identified risks.
