(“Zhongqiao”), collectively the “WFOE”), which are wholly foreign-owned entities organized under the laws of the PRC.

On May 20, 2019, Qilian International, through its WFOE, Qilian Chengdu, entered into a series of agreements with Gansu QLS and its shareholders, including an Exclusive Services Agreement, Call Option Agreement, Shareholders’ Voting Rights Proxy and Equity Pledge Agreement, Powers of Attorney, and the Spousal Consents (collectively “VIE agreements”). These contractual arrangements oblige Qilian Chengdu to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Gansu QLS’s activities and entitle Qilian Chengdu to receive a majority of their residual returns. In essence, Qilian Chengdu has gained certain level of control over Gansu QLS. In addition, 99.214% of Gansu QLS’s shareholders have pledged their equity interest in Gansu QLS to Qilian Chengdu on September 30, 2022 and 2021, irrevocably granted Qilian Chengdu an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Gansu QLS, and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by Qilian Chengdu. Through these contractual arrangements, Qilian Chengdu holds 99.214% of the variable interests of Gansu QLS on September 30, 2022 and 2021.
F-7
To optimize its corporate structure, Chengdu Trading and Gansu QLS executed certain exclusive service termination agreement (the “Service Termination Agreement”) to terminate certain contractual service arrangements between Chengdu Trade and Gansu QLS. As a result of the aforementioned termination, Chengdu Trade will no longer have contractual control over, nor receive the economic benefits of Gansu QLS. In connection with such termination, Qilian Shan International Trade (Hainan) Co., Ltd (“Hainan Trading”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qilian International (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited, entered into a certain exclusive service agreement with Gansu QLS, through which Hainan Trade obtained contractual control over Gansu QLS. The terms of these agreement are identical to the VIE agreement. The Service Termination Agreement and the new service agreement with Hainan Trading became effective on December 1, 2022.
Based on these contractual arrangements, Gansu QLS is considered as a VIE of Qilian Chengdu and Hainan Trading under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 (“ASC 810”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51”, because the equity investors in Gansu QLS do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. In addition, Qilian Chengdu and Hainan Trading are the primary beneficiary of Gansu QLS, and, as such, Gansu QLS’s books and records are consolidated into those of WFOE. Risks in relation to the VIE structure are discussed under “Risks and Uncertainties” below.
As the above entities were under common control before and after the consummation of the VIE agreements, the restructuring was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the consolidation of Qilian International and its subsidiaries, the VIE and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Qilian International, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries are principally engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of licorice products, oxytetracycline products, traditional Chinese medicine derivatives (“TCMD”) product, heparin product, sausage casings, and fertilizers.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Qilian International, and its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Risks and Uncertainties disclosure for VIE structures in China. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries’ accounting estimates included, but are not limited to: allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, impairment of long-lived assets, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, fair value of investment in trading securities, impairment of intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalent don’t have withdrawal restrictions.
F-8
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash balance includes guarantee deposit required by the National Financial Regulatory Administration which replaces the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission as the regulatory body since May 2023 in order to protect insurance premium appropriation by insurance agency which is restricted as to withdrawal for other than current operations. The balance was $1,044,943 as of March 31, 2025.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The WFOE, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries usually grant credit to customers with good credit standing with a maximum of 90 days and determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Bank acceptance notes receivable
Bank acceptance notes receivable generally due within six months and with specific payment terms and definitive due dates, are comprised of the notes issued by some customers to pay certain outstanding receivable balances to the Company. Bank acceptance notes do not bear interest. From time to time, the Company endorse bank notes receivable to its suppliers as the payment of material purchase. The bank notes receivable is considered sold and derecognized from balance sheets when they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the note receivables, and the Company has surrendered control over the transferred note receivable. If the Company does not surrender control, the cash received from the purchaser is account for as a secured borrowing.
As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, bank acceptance notes receivable from customers were $2,262,189 and $3,337,137, respectively. There was $2,073,990 bank acceptance notes receivable endorsed by the companies to make payments that were unmatured as of March 31, 2025 and derecognized from balance sheet.
Inventories, net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include the cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Allowances for obsolescence are also assessed based on expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charge. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Items |
|
Useful life |
Property and buildings |
|
20–40 years |
Leasehold improvement |
|
Lesser of useful life and lease term |
Machinery and equipment |
|
3–10 years |
Automobiles |
|
3–5 years |
Office and electric equipment |
|
3–5 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the statements of operations in other income and expenses.
F-9
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress is comprised of costs related to the capital projects that are not completed and is not depreciated until such time as the subject asset is ready for its intended use. Construction in progress as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 represents costs of construction incurred for Chongqing’s new manufacturing facilities for heparin products.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of land use rights, software and license for drug manufacturing (See Note 7). Under the PRC law, all land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or company. The government grants individuals and companies the right to use parcels of land for specified periods of time. Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method with the following estimated useful lives:
Items |
|
Useful life |
Land use rights |
|
50 years |
Software |
|
10 years |
License for drug manufacturing |
|
10 years |
Leases
On October 1, 2019 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance we will not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under finance leases, and obligations under finance leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have made an accounting policy election to not include leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheets and the short term lease expense recognized for the years presented are immaterial.
The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.
Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the average borrowing rate of the Company’s outstanding loans.
Lease term includes rent holidays and options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The lease assets for operating leases consist of the amount of the measurement of the lease liabilities and any prepaid lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term by adding interest expense determined using the effective interest method to the amortization of the right-of-use assets. Interest expense is determined using the effective interest method. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company reviews the impairment of its right-of-use assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Investment in Trading Securities
The Company entered into an investment with a iFactors SPC related to shares participating in the Golden Bridge Global Income Opportunities SP (the Fund), an exempted segregated Portfolio Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and managed by Golden Bridge Capital Management Limited. The Fund primarily invests in bonds offered by private entities (debt securities), globally and also invests in convertible debt securities, publicly traded debt and stock, and governmental fixed income securities. The redemption of such shares for cash can be made with ninety days advance written notice (such written notice period can be extended by the investment manager), except during the lock up period which is initially 24 months and then extended to 36 months, from the initial investment date.
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short term or long term on the Balance Sheet, based on contractual maturity date and are stated at amortized cost. Investment securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value. Investment securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities shall be classified as available-for-sale securities.
As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the investment consisted of 20,000 units of the Fund. Such securities have been classified as trading securities. The private equity fund is measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in earnings. For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as a practical expedient, the Company uses Net Asset Value (“NAV”) or its equivalent to measure the fair value of the Fund. NAV is primarily determined based on information provided by external fund administrators. As of September 30, 2023, the management had intention to redeem the investment and it is probable that the investment will be redeemed for an amount different from the NAV. Thus, the fair value of the investment was measured using discounted cash flow method. The fair value of the Fund was $13,943,019 as of September 30 2023.
As of September 20, 2024, the Company has redeemed $4,800,000 from the Fund Management, with the remaining redemption assets in the Fund amounting to $14,770,000.
The Company agrees to redeem the remaining balance of the agreed redemption assets in the form of securities. The Fund Management shall deliver 18,621,000 shares of Highest Performances Holdings (NASDAQ: HPH) to the Company. Based on the average stock price between September 16 and September 20 in 2024, which is $0.712 per share, the total transfer value amounts to $13,258,152. The fair value of the stock is $9,143,019. Due to the significant fluctuations in the stock price after September 30, 2024, the average stock price from October 1, 2024, to January 21, 2025, is selected as the fair value to adjust the carrying amount. As of March 31, 2025, the average stock price from October 1, 2024, to June 26, 2025, is selected as the fair value to adjust the carrying amount.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350-20 (“ASC 350-20”), “Intangibles–Goodwill and Other: Goodwill”, which requires that goodwill to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined by ASC 350-20.
F-11
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, on January 1, 2022, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step test in accordance with ASC 350-20. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step quantitative impairment test described above is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. In performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit based on either quoted market prices of the ordinary shares or estimated fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than its implied fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04(“ASU 2017-04”), “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value.
On and after January 1, 2025, the Company performed qualitative and quantitative assessment in accordance with ASU 2017-04, there was no such goodwill impairment for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Long-Term Investment
Investments in entity in which the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries initially record its investment at cost. The Company’s share of investee earnings or losses is recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations within Other income (expense). The Company’s interest in the net assets of the investees is included in the equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries evaluate the equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries subsequently adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize their proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment, the adjustment of basis difference initially recognized and the other comprehensive income allocated to the Company from the investees.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no indicators of impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Borrowings
Borrowings comprise short-term loans and long-term loans. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
F-12
Insurance premium payables
Insurance premium payables represent premium payments that have been received from insureds, but not yet remitted to the insurance carriers.
Transactions with Non-controlling Interests of Subsidiaries
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries account for a change in ownership interests in its subsidiaries that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary under the provisions of ASC 810-10-45-23, Consolidation – Other Presentation Matters, which prescribes the accounting for changes in ownership interest that do not result in a change in control of the subsidiary, as defined by GAAP, before and after the transaction. Under this guidance, changes in a controlling shareholder’s ownership interest that do not result in a change of control, as defined by GAAP, in the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. Accordingly, if the controlling shareholder retains control, no gain or loss is recognized in the statements of operations of the controlling shareholder. Similarly, the controlling shareholder will not record any additional acquisition adjustments to reflect its subsequent purchases of additional shares in the subsidiary if there is no change of control. Only a proportional and immediate transfer of carrying value between the controlling and the noncontrolling shareholders occurs based on the respective ownership percentages. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the VIE, Gansu QLS acquired 7.76% of equity interest in Chengdu QLS and its subsidiaries from its shareholders. The equity interest Gansu QLS has in Chengdu QLS increased from 71.75% as of September 30, 2020 to 79.51% as of September 30, 2021.
In the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company made 200,000 RMB (equivalent to $28,356) additional investment to acquire 0.2% ownership of Gansu QLS from third party shareholders and the Company’s ownership in VIE increased to 79.71% as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. For the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries, non-controlling interests represent a minority shareholder’s 49% ownership interest in Zhongqiao, as well as 0.786% ownership interest in Gansu QLS, 20.29% ownership interest in Chengdu QLS and in subsidiaries including Rugao and Chongqing.
The following table summarizes the shareholders’ equity for the non-controlling interest from each subsidiary that is not 100% owned by the Company:

Revenue Recognition
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries recognize revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To perform revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries perform the following five steps:
| (i) | identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; |
F-13
| (ii) | determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; |
| (iii) | measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; |
| (iv) | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and |
| (v) | recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASC 606. |
The majority of the WFOE, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries’ contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and are, therefore, not distinct. The revenue streams are recognized at a point in time when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at delivery. The WFOE, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries’ products are sold with no right of return and the WFOE, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries do not provide other credits or sales incentives, which would be accounted for as variable consideration. Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from net sales.

The contract liabilities of the Company consist of advance payments from customers. The contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a customer-by-customer basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities were recognized when the Company receives prepayment from customers resulting from sales contracts. Contract liabilities will be recognized as revenue when the products are delivered. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company record contract liabilities of $3,471,007 and $489,784, respectively, which will be recognized as revenue upon delivery of the products sold.
Refer to Note 13 for disaggregated revenue information.
Government Grants
Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is net against the expense and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the related costs. Where the grant relates to an asset acquisition, it is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in proportion to the useful life of the related assets. Government grants received for the six months ended March 31 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $19,534, $14,002, and $59,360, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the deferred government grants were $357,982 and $213,112, respectively.

Advertising Cost
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative, research and development expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred $22,843, $55,240 and $48,820 of advertising costs during the six months ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising costs consist primarily of online marketing costs, such as advertising on social networking sites and e-mail marketing campaigns.
Income Taxes
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries determine that they would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, they would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company does not believe that there were any uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Earnings per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. There were no diluted shares for the six months ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
F-15
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Stock Based Compensation
The Company’s stock based payment transactions with employees are measured based on the grant-date fair value of the instruments, with recognition of either a corresponding increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the instruments granted satisfy the equity or liability classification criteria. The fair value of the award is recognized as compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award on straight line basis, which is generally the vesting period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of its operations are determined using RMB, the local currency, as the functional currency. Our financial statements are reported using U.S. Dollars. The results of operations and the statement of cash flows denominated in currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in statement of changes in equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The value of RMB against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
F-16
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
For the year ended September 30, 2022, as a practical expedient, the Company uses Net Asset Value (“NAV”) or its equivalent to measure the fair value of its certain fund investment. NAV is primarily determined based on information provided by external fund administrators. The Company’s investments valued at NAV as a practical expedient are private equity funds, which represent the investment in trading securities on the balance sheet. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company planned to sell the investment and fair value measurement using NAV as practical expedient is not permitted. The investment is measured using discounted cash flow method and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The discount rate used for the valuation of trading securities was 28% as of September 30, 2023.
The Company agrees to redeem the remaining balance of the agreed redemption assets in the form of securities. The Fund Management shall deliver 18,621,000 shares of Highest Performances Holdings (NASDAQ: HPH) to the Company. Based on the average stock price between September 16 and September 20 in 2024, which is $0.712 per share, the total transfer value amounts to $13,258,152. The fair value of the stock is $9,143,019. Due to redemptions and conversions into stocks, the value of the stocks was referenced based on the share price as of September 30, 2024. Due to the significant fluctuations in the stock price after September 30, 2024, the average stock price from October 1, 2024, to January 21, 2025, is selected as the fair value to adjust the carrying amount. As of March 31, 2025, the average stock price from October 1, 2024, to June 26, 2025, is selected as the fair value to adjust the carrying amount.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, bank notes receivable, short term investment, advances to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other payables approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the bank loans, lease liabilities, bank notes payable and other liabilities, including current maturities, approximated their carrying value as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented.

Concentrations and Credit Risk
A majority of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries’ expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

A. Operating Results
Overview
BGM is not an operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company. BGM’s operations are conducted through contractual arrangements with the VIE based in China. PRC laws, regulations, and rules restrict and impose conditions on direct foreign investment in certain types of businesses, and we therefore rely on the VIE to operate these businesses in China. BGM does not own equity interest in the VIE or its subsidiaries. Through the VIE, we primarily engage in the research, development, and production of licorice products, oxytetracycline products, TCMD product, heparin product, sausage casings, and fertilizers.
We also have a strategic focus on the technology fields of AI application, intelligent robots, algorithmic computing power, cloud computing, and biopharmaceuticals. In terms of AI application implementation, we rely on big data mining and AI agent technology, and utilize the platforms of Du Xiao Bao and Bao Wang to provide comprehensive and professional AI solutions and intelligent robot services for insurance companies, insurance brokers, and consumers. Our services cover multiple key scenarios such as sales and marketing, underwriting assessment, claims processing, and customer service. We are capable of analyzing consumer data, building consumer profiles, accurately predicting insurance needs, and providing highly customized services for consumers. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, we deeply integrate AI-assisted decision-making into every link of production and manufacturing, achieving supply chain optimization, process efficiency improvement, and market trend prediction. This provides scientific decision-making basis for our management and offers high-quality products and precise services for consumers.
We were incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on February 7, 2019. Our business is mainly conducted by our VIE Gansu Qilianshan Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“Gansu QLS”), a limited liability company which established under the laws of the PRC, together with its subsidiaries, using RMB, the currency of China.
3
On May 20, 2019 and November 20, 2020, we, through our wholly foreign-owned entity Qilian International Trading (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (“Chengdu Trade”), entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Gansu QLS, which include an Exclusive Service Agreement, an Equity Pledge Agreement, a Call Option Agreement, a Shareholders’ Voting Rights Proxy Agreement and Powers of Attorney. Pursuant to the VIE Agreements, WFOE provides Gansu QLS with technical support, consulting services and other management services and is entitled to receive 99.214% of Gansu QLS’ net profits, this percentage being the number of shares of Gansu QLS held by shareholders having signed the VIE Agreements over the total issued and outstanding shares of Gansu QLS. In addition, Gansu QLS’s shareholders have pledged 99.214% of their equity interests in Gansu QLS to WFOE, irrevocably granted WFOE an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in Gansu QLS, and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by WFOE.
To optimize its corporate structure, Chengdu Trade and Gansu QLS executed certain exclusive service termination agreement (the “Service Termination Agreement”) to terminate certain contractual service arrangements between Chengdu Trade and Gansu QLS. As a result of the aforementioned termination, Chengdu Trade will no longer have contractual control over, nor receive the economic benefits of Gansu QLS. In connection with such termination, Qilian Shan International Trade (Hainan) Co., Ltd (“Hainan Trade”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qilian HK, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Gansu QLS. The Service Termination Agreement and the new service agreement with Hainan Trade became effective on December 1, 2022.
Through the VIE Agreements, WFOE is deemed as the primary beneficiary of Gansu QLS for accounting purpose and is able to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements under the U.S. GAAP.
Based on the VIE Agreements, Gansu QLS is considered a VIE of Qilian Chengdu/Hainan Trade under U.S. GAAP. As the above entities were under common control before and after the execution of the VIE Agreements, the restructuring was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, the financial results presented here include those of the VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries from the first period presented. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
As of the date of this report, there is an aggregate of 98,294,641 ordinary shares, consisting of 78,294,641 Class A ordinary shares, par value of US$0.00833335 each, and 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value of US$0.00833335 each.
Outlook
We, our VIE and its subsidiaries will continue to operate the business by expanding our marketing network and investing in pharmaceutical and chemical facilities, which depend heavily on sufficient capital. If we are not able to obtain equity or debt financing, we and our affiliates may not be able to execute the development and expansion plans, which could have a material and adverse effect on our, the VIE and its subsidiaries’ future business performance and operating results.
Our net revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $14.3 million, representing an increase of $1.7 million, or 14%, from $12.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Net loss attributable to our shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.9 million, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, or 308%, from $0.4 million net income attributable to our shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Non-GAAP EBITDA (as defined below) for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $(4.7) million, representing a decrease of 661%, from $0.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information on EBITDA, please see the sub-section “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA” below.
Key Indicators of the Company’s Performance
In assessing performance, we consider various performance and financial measures, including principal growth in net revenue, gross profit, distribution, general and administrative expenses, net income from operations, and EBITDA (Non-GAAP) (as defined below). The key measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our subsidiaries and VIE and its subsidiaries’ business are set forth below:
Net Revenue
Net revenue is equal to gross sales minus sales returns and sales incentives that the Company offers to our customers, such as discounts that are offset to gross sales. Our net sales are driven by changes in the number of customers, product varieties, selling price, and mix of products sold.
4
Gross Profit
Gross profit is equal to net sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold primarily includes inventory costs (net of supplier consideration), inbound freight, custom clearance fees, and other miscellaneous expenses. Cost of goods sold generally changes as the Company incurs higher or lower costs from suppliers and as the customer and product mix changes.
Selling, General and Administrative, Research and Development Expenses
Selling, general and administrative, research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for employees, shipping expenses, utilities, maintenance and repairs expenses, insurance expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, research and development expenses, selling and marketing expenses, professional fees, and other operating expenses.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - EBITDA
Management uses certain financial measures to evaluate our operating performance which is calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP (“Non-GAAP”). These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies. We believe that EBITDA is a useful performance measure and can be used to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our subsidiaries and the VIE and its subsidiaries’ business than GAAP measures alone can provide. Our management believes that EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect its operating performance. Our management believes that the use of these Non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar Non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We present EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that our management considers relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures.
Our management defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations as analytical tools and, as such, you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our Company’s financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, EBITDA:
| ● | excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to the Company; |
| ● | does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; |
| ● | does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’ working capital needs; and |
| ● | does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements, necessary to service the Company’s debt. |

Revenue
Revenue increased by 14% from $12.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $14.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The main reason for the revenue growth was that the AI solutions and insurance business of the acquired companies have brought in revenues of $1.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, revenue from diversified pharmaceutical and allied products decreased by $2.9 million or 25%. The revenue from Oxytetracycline & Licorice products and TCMD decreased by $2.1 million, mainly due to the decline in exports of domestic downstream customers, which has led to fierce domestic competition, a drop in product prices, and a reduction in sales volume. The revenue from Heparin products and Sausage casing decreased by $1.6 million, mainly due to the impact of centralized drug procurement, which caused a decline in domestic sales prices of heparin sodium and a reduction in customer purchase volumes. The Company continues to suspend production since September 2023 and only consuming inventory. The new plant commenced production in October 2024, but only sold sausage casings. Due to the low sales price of heparin sodium, no sales were made.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $0.7 million, or 6%, from $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $11.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cost of sales is primarily attributable to the decreased sales as discussed above.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by $1.1 million, or 78%, from $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The main reason is attributed to the growth of three major businesses, namely diversified pharmaceutical and allied products, AI solutions, and insurance business, with gross profits of $1.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. The corresponding gross profit margins are 16%, 43%, and 30% respectively. The gross profit margin of the diversified pharmaceutical and allied products is 13% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, which is flat comparing to the same period in the prior year. The revenues of the two acquired businesses, AI solutions, and insurance business, accounted for 33% of the total revenue, which elevated the overall gross profit margin of the Company's business. The high gross profit margin of the AI solutions was mainly due to the fact that although significant investments were made during the early development stage, now that the products have been launched and are generating revenue, the corresponding costs primarily consist of personnel salaries.
Selling, General and Administrative, Research and Development Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 127%, from $2.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $4.7million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in expenses was mainly attributable to the expenses of the acquired company.
Other Income (expense)
Other expenses was $2.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, decreased by $3.9 million, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which primarily consisted of government grants and investment loss. The decrease was mainly due to the recognition of a 3.4 million investment loss in trading securities for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Income Taxes Provision
Provision for income taxes decreased by $4.3 million, from approximately $11,936 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately $(4.3) million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The decreased tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was due to the deferred income tax expenses generated from the provision for deferred tax assets of the acquired company.
Net Income (loss) Attributable to Non-controlling interest
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $35,525 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $121,213 from $85,688 of net loss attributable to non-controlling interest for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The growth was a result of the increase of net income of Rugao, which is partially owned by non-controlling interest holders. Rugao recorded a net income of approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and it recorded a net income of approximately $63,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024.
6
Net Income (loss) Attributable to Our Shareholders
As a result of the above, our net loss attributable to our shareholders decreased by $1.3 million, from net income attributable to our shareholders of $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to net loss attributable to our shareholders of $0.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Revenue
Revenue decreased by 57% from $29.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to $12.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The significant decrease of revenue was due to the unbalanced supply and demand structure of the economy in late 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The supply side is much stronger than demand side. And Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and a trade war with the U.S have complicated the Company growth strategy as the cost has gone up and demand from exporting customers decreased dramatically.
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, revenue from & licorice products decreased by $7.8 million or 42%. During this period, the Company had to decrease its production of oxytetracycline by approximately 50% compared to the same period of the prior year, in order to reduce inventory and increase working capital. We saw a significant decrease in demand from our customers due to the shrink of international and domestic market. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the quantity sold for oxytetracycline has decreased by 54%.
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, revenue from heparin products decreased by $8.2 million or 83% compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has ceased production of heparin since September 2023 to relieve the challenge stem from decreased demand. In addition, since February 2023, heparin product became one of the centralized procurement medicine by the PRC government which intensified the competition of the product in the market. The sales price of heparin product decreased from RMB 38.8 per gram for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to RMB 12.06 per gram for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Quantity sold also decreased by 51% during the same period.

For the six months ended March 31, 2024, revenue from natural fertilizer products decreased by $0.6 million or 79%. In 2024, we faced challenges from pricing pressure due to the competition in the fertilizer industry, higher cost due to the inflation and hence lower our production volume. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the sales price decreased by 7.7%, and sales quantity decreased by 68% compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue decreased by $15.7 million, or 59%, from $26.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the cost of sales was primarily attributable to the decreased sales as discussed above. The cost of revenue decreased in a slightly smaller percentage when compared to our decreased sales, thus improved our gross margin as discussed below.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $0.9 million, or 38%, from $2.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, mainly due to the decrease of sales for all products types as discussed above. The decrease of sales for products includes $0.6 million from oxytetracycline & Licorice products, $0.3 million from natural fertilizer products, and partially offset by the increased gross margin of $0.1 million from heparin product and sausage casing. However, gross profit margin increased from 7.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to 11.3% for the six months ended March 31, 2024, mainly due to the decrease of production compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, as discussed below.
Gross profit margin for oxytetracycline & Licorice products increased by 1.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of the decreased production cost in 2024. In 2023, due to the higher labor cost and utility cost post pandemic, the Company’s production cost has vastly increased.
Gross profit margin for heparin product and sausage casing increased by 6.3% for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company experienced significant decrease of selling price for heparin product for the six months ended March 31, 2023 due to intensive price competition of the product in the market, as Chinese government announced centralized procurement of the medicine from the beginning of 2023, which resulted 0.1% gross profit margin for the product line. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the gross profit margin increased to 6.4%, which went back to the normal profit margin for this product line.
Gross profit margin for fertilizer decreased by approximately 20% from 54% for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to 34% for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The significant decrease of gross profit margin was attributable to the increase of cost of sale since the fixed cost increased significantly as the production volume has been decreased. In addition, from 2023, the Company became one of the designated suppliers by Gansu Government to provide organic fertilizer for certain soil improvement projects. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the sales associated with these projects were $0.3 million, with a gross profit margin over 50%, which made the overall gross profit margin significantly higher. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, government purchase decreased by 17%, which lower the gross profit margin during this period.
Selling, General and Administrative, Research and Development Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which is flat comparing to the same period in the prior year.
Other Income (expense)
Other income was $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.5 million, compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of government grants and investment loss. The increase is mainly attributable to the $0.7 million increased income recognized from the fair value change in the investment in trading securities.
Income Taxes Provision
Provision for income taxes decreased by $0.2 million, or 95%, from approximately $248,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately $12,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The decreased tax expenses for 2024 is due to the decreased income before income tax, as well as the reversal of provision made for deferred tax asset as the Company can recognize the tax benefit from net operating loss carryforward from prior year, which was fully reserved.

Net Income (loss) Attributable to Non-controlling interest
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $85,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $30,000, or 53%, from approximately $56,000 of net income attributable to non-controlling interest for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was a result of the increase of net loss of Zhongqiao Youguan (Chengdu) E-commerce service Co., Ltd. (“Zhongqiao”), which is partially owned by non-controlling interest holders. Zhongqiao experienced a net loss of approximately $69,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and it had no operation for the six months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Income (loss) Attributable to Our Shareholders
As a result of the above, our net income attributable to our shareholders was flat for the six months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, which were $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

B.Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash of approximately $9.7 million. We have funded our working capital and other capital requirements primarily using cash flow generated from our business operations and bank loans.
Although our management believes that the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months, our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets. Our management has considered the historical experience, the economy, trends in the pharmaceutical industry, the expected collectability of accounts receivable and the realization of the inventories as of March 31, 2025. Based on these considerations, our management believes that we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plan. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise and result in shortfalls to our plan, such as the demand for the WFOE and the VIE and its subsidiaries’ products, economic conditions, the competitive pricing in the industry and our banks and suppliers being able to provide continued supports. If the future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our expected acquisition plan, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or refinance all or a portion of our and our affiliates’ debt.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, accounts receivable and inventory reserve, deferred tax, unrealized gain(loss) from trading securities and adjusted for the effect of working capital changes.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $5.6 million in cash provided by operating activities, when compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $2.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of net cash inflow was a result of the following:
1. |
Decrease in net income of $1.2 million, from net income of $0.3 million to a net loss of $0.8 million. |
2. |
Change in deferred tax expenses was $4.6 million net cash outflow for the six months ended March 31, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the change in deferred tax expense was $600 net cash outflow, which led to a $4.6 million increase in net cash outflow from operating activities.

3. |
Change in accounts receivable was $4.5 million net cash outflow for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

The inventory balance as of March 31, 2025, was relatively high primarily due to two key factors - (i) fertilizer production: increased production volumes were driven by anticipated market demand for fertilizers in the spring of 2025; and (ii) heparin sodium inventory strategy: Chongqing Shengfu Biological Technology Co., Ltd (“Chongqing Shengfu”) commenced trial production in October 2024. As of March 31, 2025, all sausage casings produced had been sold, leaving heparin sodium as the primary inventory item. Given heparin sodium’s storability and stable quality under proper conditions, the Company deliberately increased its inventory levels to capitalize on potential price increases in the future, thereby maximizing profitability. |
