• The new winery sales business, which generated $47,584 in revenue, ceased operations in May 2025.

Risks

• Substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring net losses, accumulated deficit ($36,510,333 as of August 31, 2025), and working capital deficit ($7,796,018 as of August 31, 2025).
• The company's operations in the PRC are subject to significant political, economic, and legal risks, including changes in governmental policies, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, and taxation.
• The VIE (Variable Interest Entity) structure may be deemed a violation of foreign investment rules under the PRC's Foreign Investment Law, potentially leading to severe limitations on operations, revocation of licenses, fines, or required restructuring.
• The enforceability of contractual agreements with VIEs depends on nominee shareholders, who may have conflicts of interest or fail to perform obligations, leading to a significant negative impact if contracts are not enforced.
• Material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting persist, including lack of a functioning audit committee, inadequate segregation of duties, insufficient written policies for US GAAP and SEC disclosure, and ineffective controls over period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
• The company's deposits are with banks in the PRC and do not carry federal deposit insurance, exposing them to loss if banks become insolvent.
• Accounts receivable are typically unsecured, posing credit risk, although mitigated by credit control policies.
• The company is exposed to interest rate risk when long-term loans require refinancing, with a 10% increase/decrease in interest rates potentially leading to a $65,856 change in annual interest expense.

Future Outlook

Management plans to implement strategies to grow the business and generate substantial revenue, while also taking measures to control operating costs. They intend to alleviate going concern risk through equity financing, other available debt financing from banks and financial institutions, and financial support and credit guarantee commitments from related parties. There is no assurance that these plans will be successful or that additional financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms.

Management Comments

• Management believes that the likelihood for the Group to lose control over its VIEs is remote based on current facts and circumstances.
• Management believes that the agreements on authorization to exercise shareholders voting power are enforceable against each party thereto in accordance with their terms and applicable PRC laws or regulations currently in effect and the possibility that it will no longer be able to consolidate the VIEs as a result of the aforementioned risks and uncertainties is remote.
• Management has determined there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
• Management is of the opinion that the Company will probably not have sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements if the Company is unable to obtain additional financing.

Industry Context

Jingbo Technology operates in the smart parking and digital technology sectors in China. The company's focus on smart parking projects, mobile applications, and cloud platform construction aligns with global trends towards smart city infrastructure and digital transformation in urban management. The brief foray into winery sales and its subsequent cessation indicates a potential lack of focus or unsuccessful diversification attempt. The continued reliance on VIE structures highlights the unique regulatory environment for technology companies with foreign investment in China.

Legal Proceedings

• Hangzhou Zhuyi was involved in a contract dispute where the trial court ruled against it for $98,104 (RMB 706,257). The appeal hearing on September 18, 2025, upheld the original judgment, making it a final ruling.

Related Party Transactions

• Amounts due from related parties totaled $69,994 as of August 31, 2025, primarily from Sichuan Zhicheng Qifeng Technology Co., Ltd ($53,994), Intellegence Triumph Holdings Limited ($5,000), Virtue Victory Holdings Limited ($5,200), and Strength Union Holdings Limited ($5,800).
• Amounts due to related parties totaled $2,406,689 as of August 31, 2025, primarily to Guowei Zhang ($2,229,778) and Xiujuan Chen ($176,911).
• Advances from Guowei Zhang are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
• Management is trying to alleviate going concern risk through financial support and credit guarantee commitments from related parties.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Potential for significant dilution due to the authorized capital increase and plans for equity financing. The increased accumulated deficit and going concern doubt pose risks to investment value. However, the debt elimination is a positive for long-term viability.
• Employees: The decrease in salary expenses noted in cost of revenues and operating expenses suggests potential workforce adjustments or reduced compensation, which could impact employee morale or retention.
• Creditors: The successful extension of a short-term loan and the elimination of a large long-term payable to Shaoxing Keqiao are positive for creditor relations, though the overall increase in total liabilities and going concern doubt remain concerns.
• Customers: The suspension of the Xiaoshan Airport project could impact service availability for some customers. The focus on smart parking projects and mobile applications suggests continued service development in core areas.

Next Steps

• Implement strategies to grow the business and generate substantial revenue.
• Take further measures to control operating costs.
• Seek equity financing to support working capital.
• Explore other available sources of financing (including debt) from banks and other financial institutions.
• Obtain financial support and credit guarantee commitments from related parties.
• Remediate material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including establishing a functioning audit committee, improving segregation of duties, and developing sufficient written accounting policies.

Key Dates

Recommendation

While Jingbo Technology demonstrated significant improvements in revenue growth and loss reduction, the persistent 'going concern' doubt, increasing working capital deficit, and identified material weaknesses in internal controls present substantial risks. The elimination of a large debt is a positive, but the company's overall financial stability remains precarious. The stock is speculative, and while there are signs of operational improvement, the fundamental risks warrant a 'hold' rather than a 'buy' or 'sell' for a seasoned investor, awaiting clearer signs of sustained profitability and resolution of internal control issues.
