• Unanticipated changes in general market conditions or other factors which may result in cancellations or reductions in the need for services.
• Demand for warehouse, shipping, and logistics services.
• Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
• Possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by events such as natural disasters, health epidemics, terrorist activity, and armed conflict.
• Impact of quotas, tariffs, or safeguards on customer products that the company services.

• Relevant governmental policies and regulations relating to businesses and industries.
• Developments in, or changes to, laws, regulations, governmental policies, incentives, and taxation affecting operations.

• Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

• Potential dilution to shareholders from future equity or debt financing.

Future Outlook

The company aims to alleviate its going concern risk through equity or debt financing and by reducing cash used in operating activities to meet anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. It may require additional capital for future expansion. The company reserves the right to update forward-looking statements but undertakes no obligation to do so.

Management Comments

• "The Company is trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) equity or debt financing, and (2) reducing cash used in operating activities, to meet our anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months."
• "The Company may, however, need additional capital in the future to fund our further expansion."
• "Since closure of business operation in U.S., the management undertook significant cost cutting initiatives reducing all categories of general administrative expenses across the board."
• "The Company has replaced part of its management team, and the current management is familiar with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Company has provided training on U.S. GAAP to the current management team."
• "The Company dismissed the executive who misused funds and replaced the corresponding executive."

Industry Context

The decline in freight logistics revenues from PRC subsidiaries is directly attributed to 'tariff wars,' highlighting the significant negative impact of geopolitical trade tensions on the company's core business in China. The company's attempts to diversify into digital assets and solar panel production have not yet yielded revenue, indicating challenges in adapting to market shifts and successfully expanding beyond its traditional logistics services.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The company's significant net loss and 'going concern' warning indicate performance well below industry standards for a healthy, publicly traded logistics company.
• The 3.4% gross margin from PRC subsidiaries, a decline from 6.5% in the prior year, suggests very thin profitability in its core operations, which is likely below average for the logistics sector, especially given the 'marginal increase in freight costs.'
• The high customer and supplier concentration risks are generally considered unfavorable compared to diversified industry peers, increasing vulnerability to business disruptions.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders face significant dilution risk from potential future equity raises and the issuance of 6.5 million shares for the class action settlement. The put option at $0.85 per share for settlement shares could create downward pressure if the stock price falls. The substantial net loss and going concern warning are highly negative for shareholder value.
• Employees may be impacted by cost-cutting initiatives and the dissolution of subsidiaries like Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc.
• Customers face concentration risk due to the company's dependence on a single major customer, and declining business volume from tariff wars could affect service quality or availability.
• Suppliers face concentration risk with five major suppliers accounting for a significant portion of cost of revenues, potentially impacting supply chain stability.
• Creditors face increased risk due to the company's recurring net losses, going concern warning, and the need for additional financing.

Next Steps

• Obtain shareholder approval and ratification for the June 2025 securities purchase agreement (for $30 million capital raise).
• Obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of 1,700,000 warrants from the November 2023 private placement.
• Continue efforts to transfer $6.3 million from Silkroad International Bank S.A. to the Bank of America account as mandated by court order.
• Keep the Court updated on the status of the Bank of America account regarding the temporary restraining order.
• Await final approval of the class action settlement by the Court.
• Remediate material weaknesses in internal control and disclosure deficiencies by June 30, 2026, as per SEC order.
• Evaluate the impact of new FASB ASUs (2024-03, 2024-04, 2025-01, 2025-03, 2025-04, 2025-05) on financial statements and disclosures.
• Potentially seek additional capital in the future to fund further expansion.
• Monitor and analyze cash on-hand and operating expenditure commitments to meet liquidity needs.

Recommendation

The company is in a precarious financial position, evidenced by a substantial net loss, a 'going concern' warning, and declining core revenues. Significant legal liabilities, including an $8.85 million class action settlement and ongoing issues with a former officer, further strain its resources. While management has taken steps to improve internal controls and cut costs, the fundamental business challenges, high concentration risks, and the need for further capital raises (which could dilute existing shareholders) present a highly unfavorable investment outlook. The court-mandated asset transfer and delays in fund movements add to operational and financial uncertainty.
