Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March
31, 2026.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under
the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 using
the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of March 31, 2026.
54
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued to enhance its financial reporting process and internal control environment.
These measures included strengthening finance and accounting review procedures, improving the period-end closing and reporting process,
providing relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting training to finance and accounting personnel, and using external professional support
where appropriate to assist with financial reporting and internal control matters.
Other
than the control enhancement measures described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Attestation
report of the registered public accounting firm
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting
firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Section
16(a) Compliance
Based solely on our review of reports filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we believe that all reports required to be filed by our directors, executive officers

Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The
Board currently consists of five directors. Mr. Hong Zhida holds the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the board of
the Company. The board believes that Mr. Hong Zhida’s services as both chief executive officer and chairman of the board is in
the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Mr. Hong Zhida possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities
and challenges facing the Company in its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time
and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership,
ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently
to the Company’s shareholders, employees and customers.
The
board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call
and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly.
Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all
currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.
Management
is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The board oversees our risk management
policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees
of the board assist the board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.
Code
of Ethics
In
September 2018, we adopted a Code of Ethical Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors,
our Company’s officers including our Chief Executive Officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1.
honest
and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
2.
full,
fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other
public communications made by us;
3.
compliance
with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
4.
the
prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethical Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in
the Code of Ethical Business Conduct; and
5.
accountability
for adherence to the Code of Ethical Business Conduct.
Our
Code of Code of Ethical Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company’s senior officers commit to timely,
accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
60
In
addition, our Code of Ethical Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility
for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state
securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities,
whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our Company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular
conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our Company policy to retaliate against any individual
who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct by another.
Recovery
of Erroneously Awarded Compensation
The
Company has adopted a clawback policy in connection with recovery of erroneously awarded compensation.
Family
Relationships
Mr.
Hong Zhida, the chief executive officer and director of the Company, and Mr. Hong Zhiwang, a director of the Company, are brothers. Apart
from this, there are no family relationships between any director or executive officer of the Company.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
None.
Insider
Trading Arrangements and Policies
We
have a written insider trading policy that applies to our directors, officers, employees and contractors, including our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. We intend
to disclose future amendments to such policy, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website
identified above or in a current report on Form 8-K that we would file with the SEC.
Our
directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy
or sell shares of our Common Stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established
by the director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or officer may amend a Rule
10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional
shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material non-public information subject to compliance with the
terms of our insider trading policy.

Stock
Option Plan
On
May 28, 2024, our Board adopted our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Equity Incentive Plan”), which was approved by
our shareholders at our annual shareholders meeting on June 28, 2024. The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan gives us the ability to grant stock
options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and other stock-based awards to officers, directors (including independent
directors), employees or consultants of our company or of any subsidiary of our company and to non-employee members of our advisory board
or our Board or the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe the ability to grant
restricted stock, stock options and make other stock-based awards under the Plan is an important factor in attracting, stimulating and
retaining qualified and distinguished personnel with proven ability and vision to serve as employees, officers, consultants or members
of the Board or advisory board of our company and our subsidiaries, and to chart our course towards continued growth and financial success.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is 89,667 shares of Common Stock (after giving
effect to the Company’s 1-for-15 reverse stock split effected on March 30, 2026).

August 11, 2025, and the Company granted an
aggregate of 161,665 shares of Common Stock, or 10,778 shares after giving effect to the 1-for-15 reverse stock split effective
March 30, 2026, to
certain directors and executive officers pursuant to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The recipients were Hong Zhida, Huang Chao,
Hong Zhiwang, Alex P. Hamilton, Li Weilin and Xiao Jiangping (Gary). Before giving effect to the reverse stock split, Hong Zhiwang
received 46,190 shares and each of the other recipients received 23,095 shares. These incentive shares vested immediately. The

Zhida, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Wu Rui, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The awards were
granted on April 8, 2026 and vested immediately upon grant. Pursuant to the awards, Mr. Wu Rui received 66,667 shares of common
stock and Mr. Hong Zhida received 12,222 shares of common stock (in each case after giving effect to the March 30, 2026 reverse
stock split). Because the grant date occurred after March 31, 2026, these awards are not reflected in the fiscal 2026 Summary Compensation

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table provides information regarding shares outstanding and available for issuance under our existing equity compensation plans
as of March 31, 2026.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information
On
May 28, 2024, our Board adopted our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders
held on June 28, 2024. The 2024 Equity Incentive Plan gives us the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock and other stock-based awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and to
non-employee members of our advisory board, our Board or the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries. The shares covered by the
2024 Equity Incentive Plan were originally 1,345,000 shares of Common Stock. After giving effect to the 1-for-15 reverse stock split
of our Common Stock that became effective on March 30, 2026, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive
Plan was adjusted to approximately 89,667 shares of Common Stock, subject to confirmation of the applicable rounding treatment under
the plan and applicable law.
The
following table reflects the shares available for issuance under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as of the end of the most recently completed
fiscal year:
Plan category
Number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting of outstanding
RSUs, options, warrants, and rights (1)

As of March 31, 2026, no options, warrants or other rights were outstanding under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. During
fiscal 2026, the Company granted fully vested shares of common stock under the plan, which were issued immediately and therefore are
not reflected in column (a).
(2)
As of March 31, 2026, 78,889 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. On March 24, 2026, the
Compensation Committee approved equity awards to certain executive officers under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The grant date of such
awards was April 8, 2026. Because the grant date occurred after March 31, 2026, such awards are not reflected in the table above.
The
following table sets forth, as of June 29, 2026, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by (i) each of our named executive officers, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) all of our executive officers and directors
as a group, and (iv) each person or entity known by us to beneficially own more than five percent of our Common Stock. The percentages shown below are based on 1,031,435 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of June 29, 2026.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment
power with respect to securities. Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of securities exercisable or convertible within 60 days
of June 29, 2026 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such securities, but
are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Listing Rules.

On
March 25, 2026, the Company dismissed Pan-China Singapore PAC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and
appointed HML PLT as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The
audit fees for the year ended March 31, 2026 were billed, or are expected to be billed, by HML PLT. The audit fees for the year ended
March 31, 2025 were billed by Pan-China Singapore PAC.
Our
Board pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by
the Board either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our
Board has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for
activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
