ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (the “Evaluation Date”), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses described in our report on internal control over financial reporting below. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon such assessment and due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because, among other things, our controls related to the financial statements closing process were not adequately designed or appropriately implemented to identify material misstatements in our financial reporting on a timely basis. Management has evaluated remediation plans to address these deficiencies and is implementing changes to address the material weakness identified, including hiring additional accountants and consultants and implementing controls and procedures over the financial reporting process. 55 It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present in accordance with U.S. GAAP, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. HTL International, LLC, our independent registered public accounting firm, is not required to and has not provided an assessment of the design or effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, whether in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards. The general purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors by enabling them to share in the future growth of the Company’s business.

The 2024 Stock Options have a term of 10 years and will vest as follows: 14 shares vested on the grant date (August 29, 2024), and 15 shares will vest on the first day of each month from September 1, 2024, to August 1, 2027.

As a result, 1,127 RSUs, calculated based on the closing price, $709.85, on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Tan. The RSUs vested immediately but contained a deferred settlement provision. As a result, settlement of the vested RSUs shall occur on the earliest of the following Code Section 409A-permitted payment events: (1) change of control of the Company that qualifies as a “change in control event” as defined under Code Section 409A; (2) Reporting Person’s separation from service (subject to any required delay under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan; (3) upon the Reporting Person’s death or disability, or (4) in the event of an “unforeseeable financial emergency,” as defined under Code Section 409A. During the years ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted an additional 2,480 shares of RSUs to the Company’s employees and directors, respectively. Granting of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information We do no t grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, and do not time the public release of such information based on award grant dates. During the last completed fiscal year, we have not made awards to any named executive officer or director during the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a Current Report on Form 8-K, and we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Beneficial ownership is determined based on the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person has beneficial ownership of shares if such individual has the power to vote and/or dispose of shares. This power may be sole or shared and direct or indirect. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on the total of 1,262,584 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 2, 2026. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are exercisable as of, or within sixty (60) days of, the date of this Annual Report are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by such person. Such shares, however, are not deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person (s).

Independence of the Board of Directors As required under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (Nasdaq), a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. The board of directors consults with our outside counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time. The Board undertook a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, the Board has determined that Mr. Tchaikovsky, Ms. Li and Ms. Guo do not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards. In making these determinations, the Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director and the transactions described in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” 66 ITEM 14.
