First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues increased by 382.9% from US$704,339 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$3,401,178 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue across most service lines, partially offset by lower due diligence service fees.

Advisory fees – Advisory fees increased by 100% from nil for six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$215,918 for six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the rise in the number of engagements in advisory services from nil for six months ended September 30, 2024 to three for six months ended September 30, 2025.

Brokerage commissions – Brokerage commissions increased by 274.6% from US$163,374 for six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$611,965 for six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributed to heightened demand for securities brokerage activities in the U.S. market, resulting in higher trading volume on the exchanges in the U.S. during the six months ended September 30, 2025. In addition, brokerage commissions related to exchanges in Hong Kong also increased from US$130,591 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$165,109 due to an increase in the number of active accounts and trading volume related to exchange in Hong Kong for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Due diligence service fees – Due diligence service fees decreased by 100% from US$39,698 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, to nil for the six months ended September 30, 2025. We did not offer these services during the six months ended September 30, 2025, while we successfully onboarded two due diligence projects during the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Handling income – Handling income increased by 593.6% from US$44,480 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$308,512 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was mainly driven by a higher handling income received from our custodian services for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Introducing and referral income – Introducing and referral income increased significantly by 393.1% from US$329,534 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$1,625,075 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This substantial growth was primarily driven by higher referral income generated from our largest customer with whom we have maintained an active business relationship since January 2024.

Investment management fee income – Investment management fee income increased by 492.9% from US$7,826 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$46,403 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a full six months of management fee income from an existing fund for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to only one month of income recorded for the six months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, there was a new fund managed by us since September 2025.

Underwriting and placement income – Underwriting and placement income increased significantly by 519.9% from US$82,251 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$509,848 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a new bond placement, for which we acted as a placing agent and generated placement income amounted to US$473,193 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, while there was no such bond placement activity for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Interest income and others – Interest income and others increased by 124.5% from US$37,176 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$83,457 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a rise in interest income from customers on overdue receivables arising from brokerage transactions.

Expenses

Allowance for expected credit losses - Allowance for expected credit losses decreased from US$48,387 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$25,950 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in allowances was recognized to reflect changes in credit risk and prevailing economic conditions for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Brokerage, clearing and exchange fees – Brokerage, clearing and exchange fees increased by 444.1% from US$300,745 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, to US$1,636,422 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was consistent with our increase in revenue from brokerage commissions and introducing and referral income.

Communications and technology – Communications and technology expenses increased by 126.0% from US$693,453 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$1,567,372 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was mainly due to our effort to enhance operational efficiency through engaging an IT consultant to advance the IT operation systems, which aided in streamlining our daily operations.

Compensation and benefits – Compensation and benefits expenses increased by 16.0% from US$1,682,921 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$1,952,889 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher referral commissions to our staff, in line with our revenue growth, and a discretionary bonus to the head of investor relation and strategic planning for the six months ended September 2025. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses, which declined from US$835,967 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$527,582 for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Depreciation – Depreciation expenses increased by 150.2% from US$14,578 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$36,479 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This increase resulted from a full six months of depreciation being recognized on the property and equipment acquired for our new office premises in July 2024, for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This compared to only three months of depreciation recognized on the same assets for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Loss on disposal of property and equipment - Loss on disposal of property and equipment for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was nil, compared to US$15,291 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. No such loss was incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2025, while the loss for the six months ended September 30 2024 was related to the derecognition of leasehold improvements associated with our old office premises.

Occupancy costs – Occupancy costs decreased by 18.7% from US$92,826 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$75,447 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the absence of a non-recurring two-month rental expenses incurred for the six months ended September 30, 2024, in respect of the Company’s old office premises.

Professional fees – Professional fees increased significantly by 875.1% from US$318,397 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$3,104,794 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to finder fee on identifying a potential acquisition of US$1,191,144 and share based compensation expenses granted to the consultants in exchange for business review and development services of US$1,458,674, during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The share-based agreements were entered into in June 2025, accordingly, only four months of the costs were recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2025 while no such costs were recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Travel and business development – Travel and business development expenses increased significantly by 92.7% from US$740,263 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$1,426,560 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by continued investments in public relations and investor engagement, and fees for designing and executing a proactive investor relations program to enhance brand image and expand market visibility.

Other administrative expenses – Other administrative expenses decreased slightly from US$77,441 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$62,295 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a drop in cost associated with office operation and company insurance premiums.

Loss before income taxes

We recorded a loss before income taxes of US$6,487,030 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to US$3,279,963 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The significant increase in loss before income taxes was primarily driven by an overall increase in expenses. Key contributing factors included higher professional fees and communications and technology expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Income tax (expenses) benefits

Income tax changed from income tax benefits of US$5,238 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to income tax expenses of US$7,746 for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily driven by an increase in current tax expenses related to the profits generated by our entities in Hong Kong and offset by the increased deferred tax assets related to temporary differences arising from the allowances for expected credit losses.

Although we incurred losses in both periods, income tax is presented as a net tax benefit for six months ended September 2024 and income tax expenses for the six months ended September 2025. Our effective tax rate is calculated as the income tax (expenses) benefit divided by loss before income tax. On this basis, our effective tax rate changed from 0.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to (0.1)% for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This change in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from an increase in taxable profits generated by our entities in Hong Kong and the increase in non-deductible expenses incurred by our holding company, which increased our overall income tax expenses.

Net loss

As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss increased by 98.3% from US$3,274,725 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$6,494,776 for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2025 was US$3,412,709, as compared to the net loss of US$6,494,776. The difference was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease of US$2,268,674 in prepayments and other assets, which was attributed to the utilization of advance payments for IT and marketing services delivered; (ii) share based compensation expenses of US$1,986,256; (iii) an increase of US$3,072,958 in receivables from customers and an increase of US$3,170,862 in payables to customers, which was impacted by our customers’ fund allocation preferences of placing more cash with us in the designated accounts for their securities brokerage transactions; and (iv) an increase of US$1,738,660 in receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organizations and an increase of US$405,752 in payables to broker-dealers and clearing organizations, which were because there were more unsettled trades on trade-date basis related to exchange in Hong Kong and more cash being placed near the period end date September 30, 2025 as compared to year end date March 31, 2025, with our broker-dealers in relation to our customers’ securities dealing activities in the U.S. market.
