Overview
We are a fast-growing U.S.-based warehousing and
logistics service provider that offers a comprehensive package of supply-chain solutions relating to warehouse management and order fulfillment.
With the boom of e-commerce and Internet technology,
along with the development of global supply chains, a growing number of merchants are seeking to sell their products through international
e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon and eBay. These merchants, however, are confronted with major logistical challenges because of the
complexities involved in shipping goods across borders. Specifically, when a foreign consumer places an order online, it can take
a long time for the goods to be delivered from one country to another (especially for bulky items), while facing high damage rates and
congestion during peak seasons. One of the solutions to such problems is to set up overseas warehouses, which are local storage facilities
established in a foreign country where the cross-border merchants intend to sell their goods. Cross-border e-commerce merchants can export
goods in batches in advance to overseas warehouses, which can then be delivered to overseas consumers once orders are placed via e-commerce
platforms. As a result, the delivery time and the rate of damaged and lost packages may be reduced significantly, therefore enhancing
the shopping experience of consumers.
23
We provide one-stop warehousing and logistics
services to cross-border e-commerce merchants outside the U.S. who seek to sell in the U.S. market. We currently operate ten
warehouses across the country, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 3,925,020 square feet. Aside from a nationwide footprint
and large storage space, our warehouses are equipped with automated sorting systems, heavy-duty forklifts, and pallets and trays that
are suitable for processing bulky items. As a one-stop warehousing and logistics service provider, we offer a full spectrum of services,
including (i) customs brokerage services; (ii) transportation of merchandise to U.S. warehouses; and (iii) warehouse
management and order fulfillment services, which further include (a) product storage and retrieval, (b) product packing and
labeling, (c) kitting and repackaging, (d) order assembly and load consolidation, (e) inventory management and sales forecasting,
(f) third-party distribution coordination, and (g) other value-added services. We also provide warehousing and logistics services
to our U.S.-based commercial customers, who are typically domestic e-commerce merchants seeking efficient and reliable warehousing and
logistics solutions to support their operations. In general, the warehousing and logistics services we provide to our domestic customers
are similar to those we provide to our overseas customers. This allows us to provide integrated solutions for our customers, whether they
need domestic or international warehousing and logistics support. As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had an active customer
base of 395, 105, and 83, respectively, for our warehousing and logistics services.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
we had total revenue of $139.5 million and $121.7 million, and net loss of $10.1 million and net income of $7.2 million, respectively.
While we do not have any subsidiaries, assets, or employees in the PRC, we generate a significant portion of our revenue from customers
based in China. During the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated approximately 87.0% and 94.2% of our revenue from
PRC-based customers, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, management monitors
and analyzes our cash on-hand, our ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and our operating and capital expenditure
commitments. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated by operating activities
and proceeds from the Convertible Note. As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we had cash and restricted cash of $9.4 million and $10.0
million, respectively, which primarily consisted of cash deposited in banks.
Our working capital requirements mainly consist
of costs of sales and general and administrative expenses. We expect that our capital requirements will be met by cash generated from
our financing activities. On November 25, 2024, we entered into the SEPA with the Investor, pursuant to which we have the right to sell
to the Investor up to $50.0 million of our common stock. We believe that our current cash and cash generated from our financing activities
will be sufficient to meet our current and anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in our business conditions or other developments.

the same period in 2024, representing a $9.6 million decrease in the net cash inflow provided by operating activities. The decrease was

income of $7.2 million, which led to a $17.3 million decrease in net cash inflow from operating activities.

which led to a $1.6 million decrease in net cash outflow from operating activities.
(iv)
Changes in tax payable provided used $0.1 million net cash outflow for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. For the nine months ended March 31, 2024, changes in tax payable provided net cash inflow of $1.9 million, which led to a $2.0 million decrease in net cash inflow from operating activities.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2025, we had operating and finance
leases for office space, warehouse space, and forklifts. Lease terms expire at various dates through September 2025 to November 2034 with
options to renew for varying terms at our sole discretion. We have not included these options to extend or terminate in the calculation
of ROU assets or lease liabilities, as there is no reasonable certainty, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, that these options will
be exercised.

Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
Other than the standby letters of credit with
Eastwest Bank in the aggregate amount of $3,779,572, we did not have during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance
sheet financing arrangements as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC, or any relationships with unconsolidated entities
or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of March 31, 2025,
we still have unused credit of $3,779,572 with Eastwest Bank.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and revenue and expenses during the periods presented.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the
financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management bases their estimates on historical experience
and on various other factors that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ
materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Despite that management determines that there
are no critical accounting estimates, the one that requires relatively significant estimates relates to useful lives of property and equipment.
31
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and impairment. The estimation of useful lives impacts the level of annual depreciation expenses recorded and
the estimation is a matter of judgment based on the experience of our Company and general industry practice with similar assets. The estimated
annual deprecation rates of our property and equipment are generally as follows:
Category
Depreciation method
Depreciation rate
Furniture and fixtures
Straight-line
7 years
Auto & trucks
Straight-line
5 – 8 years
Trailers & truck chassis
Straight-line
15 – 17 years
Machinery & equipment
Straight-line
2 – 7 years
Leasehold improvements
Straight-line
Shorter of lease term or 15 years
As of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the historical
cost of property and equipment was $17,259,298 and $14,773,842, respectively.
We recorded depreciation expenses of $1,874,681
and $1,313,684 during nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Specifically, $1,717,363 and $1,091,795 of the depreciation
expenses were recorded in costs of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, $157,318 and $221,889 of
the depreciation expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully
described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements. We believe that there were no critical accounting policies that affected the preparation of such financial statements.
