Risks

• Substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to the NYSE delisting and impaired access to public equity markets.
• Uncertainties with the PRC legal system, including enforcement of laws and rapid changes in policies and regulations, which could adversely affect operations.
• Risks associated with the Variable Interest Entity (VIE) structure, which has not been tested in court and could be disallowed by Chinese regulatory authorities.
• Potential for PRC government intervention or influence over operations in China, including new regulations on data security, cross-border data flow, anti-monopoly, and unfair competition.
• Cybersecurity threats and incidents, despite existing risk management programs, could materially affect business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
• Market conditions affecting the company's equity capital, especially after delisting from the NYSE.
• Competition from other fertilizer and plant producers impacting pricing, revenues, and margins.
• The loss of any member of the management team could adversely affect operations.
• Challenges in integrating acquired subsidiaries and operations into existing operations.
• Changes in general economic conditions, particularly in China, could impact demand for products and services.
• Changes in accounting rules or their application could affect financial reporting.
• Failure to identify and remediate material weaknesses or other deficiencies in internal control and disclosure control over financial reporting.
• Exposure to foreign exchange risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB, as substantially all revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB.
• Interest rate risk primarily with respect to short-term bank loans, as interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.
• Higher credit risk on accounts receivable, particularly from individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the PRC, exacerbated by economic conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Inflation risk, such as increases in product and overhead costs, could adversely affect operating results and gross margins.
• Risk of epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks (e.g., COVID-19) adversely affecting operations, supply chains, workforce, demand, and leading to credit losses.

Future Outlook

The company intends to continue filing periodic reports with the SEC. Management plans to mitigate adverse conditions by implementing cost-reduction measures and exploring alternative financing arrangements. It believes it has sufficient cash and positive projected cash flow to support business growth for the next twelve months, assuming no further significant acquisitions or expansions. The company may seek additional financing for expansion, which could include debt and/or equity, and is working on integrating assets in the United States as part of a broader global expansion strategy. The updated accounting guidance for crypto assets (ASU 2023-08) is not expected to have a material impact on disclosures.

Management Comments

• "Management's plans to mitigate these adverse conditions include implementing cost-reduction measures, and exploring alternative financing arrangements."
• "We intend to use the net proceeds from our securities offerings, as well as other working capital if required, to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete Yuxing's new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products..."
• "We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to support our business growth for the next twelve months to the extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or expansions."
• "We are currently working on integrating assets in the United States, which is part of our broader strategy to expand our global presence and operational capabilities."

Industry Context

The company operates primarily in the PRC fertilizer and agricultural products market, with its fertilizer business (Jinong and Gufeng segments) historically generating the majority of its revenue. The agricultural products segment (Yuxing) also serves as a research and development base for fertilizer products. The decision to phase out Bitcoin mining operations (Antaeus segment) due to sustained losses indicates a strategic shift away from non-core, unprofitable ventures in the digital asset space. The company's significant reliance on PRC operations exposes it to the rapidly evolving economic, political, and legal environment in China, including regulatory changes that could impact its business model and financial performance.

Corporate Governance

Legal Proceedings

• A lawsuit was commenced on May 28, 2024, in Texas state court against the Company and its former co-CEO, Mr. Zhibiao Pan, alleging the use of funds from cryptocurrency wallets to purchase crypto mining sites. The company has moved to dismiss the lawsuit, which is pending.

Related Party Transactions

• Yuxing sold $257,800 worth of products to 900LH.com Food Co., Ltd., an affiliate of the Company, during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
• Gufeng borrowed $983,220 from Xian Techteam Science& Technology Industry (Group) Co. Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Zhuoyu Li (Chairman and CEO), as of September 30, 2025. These are unsecured, non-interest-bearing, due on demand loans without written agreements.
• Advances of $2,386,619 were received from Mr. Zhuoyu Li (Chairman and CEO) as of September 30, 2025. These advances are unsecured and non-interest-bearing.
• Advances of $310,000 were received from Mr. Zhibiao Pan (former Co-CEO) as of September 30, 2025. These advances are unsecured and non-interest-bearing.
• Jinong owed 900LH.com $21,631 as of September 30, 2025.
• Jinong renewed an office lease with Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd., where Mr. Zhuoyu Li serves as Chairman, for a two-year term effective July 1, 2024, with monthly rent of RMB28,000 (approximately $3,933).

Stakeholder Impact

• **Shareholders**: Significant negative impact due to the NYSE delisting, which will likely reduce liquidity and investor confidence. The 'going concern' warning raises fundamental questions about the company's long-term viability. Potential dilution from future equity raises is also a concern.
• **Creditors**: The 'going concern' doubt could make future borrowing more challenging or lead to higher interest rates. While total liabilities decreased, short-term loans increased, indicating a shift in debt structure.
• **Employees**: No direct impact on employees is explicitly mentioned, but management's plans for 'cost-reduction measures' could imply potential workforce adjustments or hiring freezes.
• **Customers**: The decrease in net sales for fertilizer segments (Jinong, Gufeng) suggests reduced demand or market share, potentially impacting customer relationships. Yuxing's sales increased, indicating continued demand for agricultural products.
• **Suppliers**: A decrease in advances to suppliers suggests either reduced purchasing volumes or improved payment terms, which could affect supplier relationships depending on the underlying reasons.

Next Steps

• Continue to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
• Implement cost-reduction measures to mitigate adverse financial conditions.
• Explore alternative financing arrangements to secure necessary capital.
• Integrate assets in the United States as part of a broader global expansion strategy.
• Upgrade production lines for fertilizer products.
• Complete Yuxing's new greenhouse facilities for agricultural products.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The NYSE delisting and the explicit 'substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern' are overwhelming negative factors. While the company achieved a net income turnaround and reduced operating expenses, these operational improvements are severely overshadowed by the loss of a major exchange listing, which critically impairs its ability to raise capital and maintain investor confidence. The long-term viability of the company is in question, making the stock a high-risk investment with significant downside potential.
