Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Legacy Education Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ L J Soldinger Associates, LLC We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

F- 6 Legacy Education Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 Note 1 - Nature of Business For purposes of these financial statements, “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references refers to Legacy Education Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. Legacy Education, LLC was formed on October 19, 2009 in the state of California as a limited liability company. The Company operates as a career institution that focuses on real-life training by utilizing educational practices in different job markets. The Company offers programs in career paths such as healthcare, veterinary, medical information technology, business management, and green technology. The Company’s institutions are accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (“ACCET”) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (“ABHES”) and approved to operate in the state of California by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (“BPPE”). The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Legacy Education Inc. d/b/a High Desert Medical College (“HDMC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Legacy Education Monterey LLC (“Monterey”) d/b/a Central Coast College (“CCC”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advanced Health Services, LLC d/b/a Integrity College of Health (“Integrity”) and Legacy Education Antioch, LLC (“Antioch”) d/b/a Contra Costa Medical Career College (“CCMCC”). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Reorganization Merger”), dated September 1, 2021, effective as of September 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), Legacy Education Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy Education Inc. formed solely for the purpose of implementing the Reorganization Merger, merged with and into Legacy Education, LLC, with Legacy Education, LLC surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy Education Inc., a corporation formed on March 18, 2020 in the State of Nevada for the sole purpose of restructuring the Company from a member-owned Limited Liability Corporation to a shareholder-owned C-Corporation. On the Effective Date, in exchange for each Class A Unit owned in Legacy Education, LLC, the members of Legacy Education, LLC received one share of common stock in Legacy Education Inc. in a one for one exchange. The members immediately prior to the Reorganization Merger became the 100 % owners of Legacy Education Inc. immediately following the Reorganization Merger. HDMC offers instruction in thirty-three programs including ultrasound technician, ultrasound technician associate of applied science degree, medical billing and coding, vocational nursing, clinical medical assisting, pharmacy technician, dental assisting, medical administrative vocational nursing associate of applied science degree and registered nursing. CCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDMC, offers instruction in healthcare career training programs, and veterinary career training. Integrity, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDMC, is an accredited college offering instruction in medical assisting, vocational nursing, medical insurance coding and billing, diagnostic medical sonography (ultrasound technician) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN). CCMCC, a wholly owned subsidiary of HDMC effective as of December 18, 2024, is accredited by ACCET and has been granted temporary approval to participate in the Federal Student Aid programs by the Department of Education (“ED”) following the consummation of the transaction discussed below in Note 3. CCMCC offers vocational nursing, surgical technology, sterile processing technician, medical assisting, diagnostic medical sonography, EKG/ECG technician, and medical administrative assistant/billing and coding specialist programs. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, and all per share information contained herein, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split described in Note 13. Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HDMC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CCC, Integrity and CCMCC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. F- 7 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the assumptions used in the evaluation of the Company’s distinct performance obligations, the valuation of equity instruments and allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2025 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company revised the presentation of its receivables-related operating activities to present the provision for credit losses as a separate non-cash adjustment in the reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities, and to reflect write-offs and recoveries within the change in accounts receivable, net. A write-off reduces both gross accounts receivable and the related allowance and has no effect on cash. The revised presentation conforms the provision reported in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows to the gross provision for credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses roll-forward below, and is consistent with the indirect method requirements of ASC 230-10-45-28 and the illustrative presentation in ASC 230-10-55-13. These reclassifications affect only the classification of amounts within operating activities and had no effect on net income, total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity, or net cash provided by operating activities for any period presented. Additionally, $ 152,279 of consulting fees paid to a company controlled by a director was reclassified from general and administrative expense to general and administrative – related party expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2025 to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no effect on total costs and expenses, operating income, net income or earnings per share. The effect of the reclassification on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2025 is as follows: Schedule of Reclassification on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Year ended June 30, 2025 As Previously Reported Effect of Reclassification As Reclassified Year ended June 30, 2025 As Previously Reported Effect of Reclassification As Reclassified Provision for credit losses (a) $ 2,529,500 $ 877,775 $ 3,407,275 Accounts receivable, net (b) ( 2,993,192 ) ( 877,775 ) ( 3,870,967 ) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 7,768,239 $ — $ 7,768,239 (a) Previously captioned “Provision for allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable and contracts receivable.” (b) Previously captioned “Accounts receivable.” Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025 approximately $ 10.71 million and $ 10.38 million, respectively, of cash equivalents was held in instruments considered level 1 securities as defined in the “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” note below. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Furniture and fixtures, machinery, computer equipment, and vehicles generally have estimated useful lives of 10 ten, 7 seven, 4 four, and five years , respectively. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their lease term or their useful life. Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 Leases, which requires the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under GAAP. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluates the lease agreement to determine whether the lease is a finance or operating lease. The guidance requires that a lessee should recognize on the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset representing the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the term of the lease. The guidance allows a lessee who enters into a lease with a term of 12 months or less to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying assets not to recognize assets and liabilities. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payment over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement to determine the present value of lease payments over the lease term. See Note 12 for more information about the Company’s lease-related obligations. F- 8 Goodwill and Intangibles The Company has implemented the Business Combinations Topic FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets (including intangibles) acquired on December 31, 2019, January 15, 2019 and on December 18, 2024. Goodwill, tradename, and accreditation are deemed to have an indefinite life, and course curriculum has definite lives of 10 years and 17.6 years. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to, at a minimum, annual impairment tests. The Company expenses costs to maintain or extend intangible assets as incurred. The Company reviews intangible assets (with a definite life), excluding goodwill, accreditation and tradenames, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. There were no impairments for the periods presented. The Company tests goodwill, accreditation and trade names for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. There were no goodwill, accreditation or trade names impairments for the periods presented. The Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis. Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for impairment, other than goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value estimates are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. The Company had no long-lived asset impairments as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows the five-step approach for revenue recognition under FASB ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company identifies a contract for revenue recognition when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates each contract to determine the number of distinct performance obligations in the contract, which requires the use of judgment. The Company’s contracts include promises for educational services and course materials which are distinct performance obligations. Tuition revenue is primarily derived from postsecondary education services provided to students. Generally, tuition and other fees are paid upfront and recorded in contract liabilities in advance of the date when education services are provided to the student. A tuition receivable is recorded for the portion of tuition not paid in advance. In some instances, installment billing is available to students which reduces the amount of cash consideration received in advance of performing the service. The contractual terms and conditions associated with installment billing indicate that the student is liable for the total contract price, therefore mitigating the Company’s exposure to losses associated with nonpayment. Tuition revenue is recognized ratably over the instruction period. The Company generally uses the time elapsed method, an input measure, as it best depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of tuition services. Revenue associated with distinct course materials is recognized at the point of time when control transfers to the student, generally when the materials are delivered to the student. Revenue associated with lab services is recognized over the period of time when the service is performed. F- 9 The Company’s refund policy may permit students who do not complete a course to be eligible for a refund for the portion of the course they did not attend. Refunds generally result in a reduction of deferred revenue during the period that the student drops or withdraws from a class. The transaction price is stated in the contract and known at the time of contract inception, as such there is variable consideration for situations when a student drops from a program based on the Company’s refund policy and additional charges if a student requires additional hours to complete the program beyond the contracted end date. The Company believes that its experience with these situations is of little predictive value because the future performance of students is dependent on each individual and the amount of variable consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence. Accordingly, no variable consideration has been included in the transaction price or recognized as income until the constraint has been eliminated. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. Any discounts within the contract are allocated across all performance obligations unless observable evidence exists that the discount relates to a specific performance obligation or obligations in the contract. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on prices charged to students. The Company excludes from revenue taxes assessed by a governmental authority as these are agency transactions collected on their behalf from the customer. Significant judgments include the allocation of the contract price across performance obligations, the methodology for earning tuition ratably over the instruction period, estimates for the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price as well as the determination of the impact of the constraints preventing the variable consideration from being recognized in revenue. Disaggregation of Revenue The tuition and related revenue consist of the following during the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenue 2026 2025 Tuition and lab fees (recognized over time) $ 70,289,146 $ 56,906,769 Books, registration and other fees (recognized at a point in time) 9,767,048 7,261,256 Total revenue $ 80,056,194 $ 64,168,025 Segment Reporting The Company operates one reportable business segment offering career-focused, post-secondary education services to students at all stages of adult life, from recent high school graduates to working parents, through its accredited academic institutions. The Company’s primary revenue source is derived from educational programs and services provided at its colleges through tuition and lab fees as well as fees for supporting educational programs such as books and registration costs. Operating as a cohesive educational services company, the Company offers its products and services in the State of California at a series of institutions, using a centralized management approach for all educational services and support functions. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates the Company’s performance based on consolidated net income. This measure aligns with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and serves as the basis for resource allocation and performance assessment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM monitors profitability and strategic growth initiatives on a consolidated basis, without disaggregating profit or loss into separate operating segments. The Company determined there are no significant segment expenses that require a separate disclosure. The consolidated net income is used to assess overall company performance, benchmark against industry standards, and identify profitability trends, which guides resource allocation and investment in expansion and program upgrades. The CODM also evaluates company performance using operating income. Operating income provides the CODM with a focused view of the Company’s profitability excluding the effects of financing activities, tax strategies, and other non-operating items. This measure enables the CODM to assess operational efficiency, monitor performance trends, and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies aimed at revenue generation and cost management. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company records an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability, failure or refusal of its students to make required payments, which includes the recovery of financial aid funds advanced to a student for amounts in excess of the student’s cost of tuition and related fees. The Company determines the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of its historical bad debt experience, current economic trends, and the aging of the accounts receivable and student status. The Company applies reserves to its receivables based upon an estimate of the risk presented by the age of the receivables and student status. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances of inactive students at the earlier of the time the balances were deemed uncollectible, or one year after the revenue is generated. Bad debt expense is recorded as a general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company evaluates expected credit losses on a periodic basis utilizing historical collection experience, aging of receivables, student status, current economic conditions, and other relevant collectability factors. F- 10 The following table presents a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses for the fiscal years presented: Schedule of Allowance for Credit Losses June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Beginning balance $ 1,641,052 $ 688,848 Allowance acquired on acquisition (1) - 44,279 Provision for credit losses 3,992,359 3,407,275 Write-offs ( 3,716,346 ) ( 2,499,750 ) Recoveries 77,427 400 Ending balance $ 1,994,492 $ 1,641,052 (1) Represents allowance for credit losses acquired in connection with the acquisition of CCMCC on December 18, 2024. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired gross accounts receivable of approximately $ 2.18 million and an associated allowance for credit losses of approximately $ 44 thousand, resulting in net acquired accounts receivable of approximately $ 2.13 million. Refunds The Company pays or credits refunds within 45 days of a student’s cancellation or withdrawal for students who have completed 60 % or less of the period of attendance based on a pro rata calculation. Once the student has completed more than 60 % of a period of attendance, all Title IV funds are considered earned and no refunds are due to ED. Advertising The Company expenses advertising cost as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $ 5,930,560 and $ 4,749,214 for the years ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. Share-Based Compensation The Company utilizes FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes model. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and value of its common stock and the expected term of the stock options, all of which are highly complex and subjective variables. The expected life was calculated based on the simplified method as described by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, Share-Based Payment. The Company’s estimate of expected volatility was based on the volatility of peers. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the options. The Company accounts for forfeitures upon occurrence. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred, unearned tuition, debt and finance lease obligations. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value. FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. F- 11 ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1 — Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs; Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data. Concentration of Credit Risk A substantial portion of the Company’s revenues and student receivables are derived from students who participate in federal financial aid programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Although financial aid funds are disbursed through these programs and represent a significant source of funding for student tuition, the related accounts receivable represent obligations of individual students and not direct receivables from ED or other governmental agencies. The Title IV programs are subject to significant federal regulatory requirements and political and budgetary considerations, and there can be no assurance that funding levels or program availability will remain at current levels. Any material noncompliance with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition. No individual student or other customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues or gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $ 250,000 . The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit concentration risk exposure. The Company maintains cash balances in excess of these limits from time to time. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company’s bank deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits were approximately $ 10.8 million and $ 8.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, $ 10.71 million and $ 10.38 million, respectively, was held in U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury money market funds in a brokerage account, which are not insured by the FDIC. The weighted average yield on these holdings was approximately 3.5 % and 4.0 % per annum as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Commitments and Contingencies The Company accrues for a contingent obligation when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss exposure is assessed. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss is estimable, the Company records a liability for the estimated loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the potential loss is not estimable, the Company will disclose the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount of the potential loss could be material. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future changes include tax, legal, and other regulatory matters, which are subject to change as events evolve, and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. Income Taxes GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and believes there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company accounts for income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be realized. The Company expenses penalties and interest related to federal and state income taxes as incurred. Penalties, if any, are included in general and administrative expenses on the income statement. The estimated federal and state effective tax rates are 21 % and 8.84 %, respectively. F- 12 Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for securities and the prices of securities may be more volatile. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards (that is, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies). The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Additionally, the Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. The Company will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of the common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (2) the annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during its most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of the common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Earnings Per Share FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method, and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to determine basic and diluted net income per common share for years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Schedule of Reconciliation of Basic and Diluted 2026 2025 Numerator Net income $ 9,139,483 $ 7,534,232 Denominator Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic 12,599,955 11,581,383 Common stock warrants - 55,583 Dilutive impact of share-based instruments 1,335,982 1,048,070 Weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted 13,935,937 12,685,036 Net income per share Basic $ 0.73 $ 0.65 Diluted $ 0.66 $ 0.59 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. Required disclosures include, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items (which is the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses and less segment profit or loss) and a description of its composition, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also permits disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. There are aspects of ASU 2023-07 that apply to entities with one reportable segment. The Company adopted this guidance in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is reflected in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Segment Reporting.” F- 13 In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, which removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements from the Codification. The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, the Company adopts new or revised accounting standards on the dates applicable to entities that are not public business entities. The following accounting pronouncements have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation by specified category and disaggregation of income taxes paid by federal, state and foreign jurisdiction. The standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, and is to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption, which is expected to result in expanded income tax disclosures with no change to the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating whether it will elect the practical expedient and the effect adoption would have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, as amended in January 2025 by ASU 2025-01, which requires disaggregated disclosure of specified categories of expense included within relevant income statement expense captions. The standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, and for interim periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption, which is expected to result in expanded expense disclosures with no change to the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which includes amendments to Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, and interim periods within that fiscal year, and is to be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption. In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which revises the disclosure requirements for interim reporting periods. The standard is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods within the fiscal year ending June 30, 2029. The Company is evaluating the effect of adoption on its interim financial statements. Note 3 – Acquisition On December 18, 2024, Antioch completed its acquisition of CCMCC for a base purchase price of $ 8,000,000 . The primary reasons for the acquisition were to expand the Company’s program offerings and campus locations. Under the asset purchase agreement (“APA”), Antioch acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of CCMCC. Under the terms of the APA as consideration for the sale, Antioch paid Sellers $ 6,600,000 subject to a working capital adjustment, entered into a $ 400,000 promissory note, described in Note 10, and issued 118,906 shares of the Company’s common stock with a combined value equivalent to $ 1,000,000 held in an escrow account for a period of one year. The working capital adjustment was required to equal zero on the transaction date and includes certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As of the date of this report, the net working capital adjustment has been determined to be $ 466,920 for a total purchase price of $ 7,533,080 . F- 14 The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the cost of the target is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the amount paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets was $ 7,733,785 which has been allocated between goodwill and other intangible assets and is included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition: Schedule of Assets and Liabilities Acquisition Current and other assets $ 2,162,748 Property and equipment 483,036 Total assets acquired 2,645,784 Liabilities assumed (excluding debt - see Note 10) ( 2,846,489 ) Net assets acquired $ ( 200,705 ) Purchase price $ 7,533,080 Trade name $ 940,000 Accreditation 1,730,000 Course Curriculum 146,000 Goodwill 4,917,785 Total excess purchase price $ 7,733,785 In connection with the CCMCC acquisition, the Company acquired the following accounts receivable balances: Schedule of Acquired Accounts Receivable Balances December 18, 2024 Gross accounts receivable $ 2,178,131 Allowance for credit losses ( 44,280 ) Net accounts receivable acquired $ 2,133,851 The acquired allowance for credit losses of approximately $ 44 thousand is included as the acquisition-date opening balance in the allowance for credit losses roll forward presented in Note 2.

The balance of this note was $ 50,000 and $ 50,000 as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Note 12 – Lease Commitments Finance Leases In July 2023, the Company entered into an equipment lease for $ 340,048 . The related finance liability has an implied interest rate of 11.16 % per annum and requires 5 equal annual payments due on September 1 of each year. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the balance of the finance liability was $ 151,421 and $ 215,409 , respectively. The present value of future minimum lease payments due at June 30, 2026 was as follows: Schedule of Future Minimum Finance Lease Payments 2027 $ 81,459 2028 81,459 Total minimum payments 162,918 Less: amount representing interest ( 11,497 ) Present value of minimum payments $ 151,421 Less: current portion ( 71,509 ) Long term portion $ 79,912 The Company has determined to amortize the lease over the useful life of the equipment, or ten years , and put the equipment into service in September 2024. The Company recorded amortization of $ 34,005 and $ 28,337 in the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating Leases The Company leases its instructional facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2036. In most cases, the facility leases require the Company to pay various operating expenses of the facilities in addition to base monthly lease payments. In certain cases, the Company has options available under its leases to renew, and certain leases contain ordinary rental escalations on the space. Operating lease cost, including the effect of rent escalation clauses, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement to determine the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate used by the Company was approximately 6.59 %, and the weighted average remaining years left on outstanding leases was 6.03 years. F- 19 The present value of future minimum lease payments due at June 30, 2026 was as follows: Schedule of Future Minimum Operating Lease Payments 2027 $ 2,875,935 2028 2,820,732 2029 2,646,097 2030 2,638,935 2031 2,446,530 After 2031 5,959,981 Total future minimum operating lease payments 19,388,210 Less: imputed interest ( 4,052,516 ) Total 15,335,694 Current portion of operating lease 2,023,088 Long term portion of operating lease $ 13,312,606 Total rent expense and related taxes and operating expenses under operating leases for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $ 5,396,086 and $ 4,483,574 , respectively. Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: Schedule of Balance Sheet Information Related to Leases June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 14,988,329 $ 15,781,177 Operating lease liability - current $ 2,023,088 $ 2,306,061 Operating lease liability – non-current 13,312,606 13,748,161 Total operating lease liability $ 15,335,694 $ 16,054,222 Other supplemental information: Schedule of Other supplemental Information 2026 2025 For the years ended June 30, 2026 2025 Cash paid for operating lease $ 4,154,664 $ 2,998,952 Tenant improvement allowance. Under the Company’s lease at 35450 Inland Valley Drive, Wildomar, California, the landlord has agreed to provide a tenant improvement allowance of $ 20.00 per rentable square foot, or approximately $ 1,062,520 in the aggregate across the three phases of the lease. The allowance is accounted for as a lease incentive. The $ 103,460 portion of the allowance attributable to the first phase of the lease, which commenced on April 1, 2026, had not been received as of the commencement date and is therefore included as a reduction of the lease payments used to measure the related lease liability and right-of-use asset. Accordingly, the 2027 amount in the table of future minimum operating lease payments above is presented net of the $ 103,460 allowance. The remaining $ 959,060 relates to the second and third phases, which had not commenced as of June 30, 2026, and no amount has been recognized in respect of those phases. Uncommenced lease. On July 1, 2026, the Company commenced the second phase of its building lease at 35450 Inland Valley Drive, Wildomar, California, which provides an additional 31,057 square feet of rentable space. The Company is obligated to make lease payments of approximately $ 894,000 during the first year of the second phase, increasing over the 10-year lease term to approximately $1,167,000 in the final year, and totaling approximately $ 10.3 million. Because the second phase had not commenced as of June 30, 2026, no right-of-use asset or lease liability related to the second phase was recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity Reverse Stock Split On September 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-2 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 9, 2024. The consolidated financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company had 110,000,000 shares of authorized capital, par value $ 0.001 , of which 100,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. Equity Transactions During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, 130,809 stock options were exercised at $ 3.74 per share of common stock. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, 50,000 stock options were exercised at $ 1.78 per share of common stock. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 88,742 shares of common stock upon receipt of notice of the cashless exercise of a total of 143,750 warrants. In August 2024, 76,000 stock options were exercised at $ 0.52 per share of common stock. On September 27, 2024, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, priced at $ 4.00 per share. Concurrently, the Company issued 2,013 shares as true up shares as a result of the 1-for-2 reverse split . In conjunction with the offering, the Company granted stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 143,750 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 4.60 per share to underwriters. F- 20 During the three months ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the initial public offering, the Company issued 375,000 common shares in respect to the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 375,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. On December 18, 2024, the Company issued 118,906 common shares pursuant to the terms of the APA. A total of 89,602 stock options were exercised during the year ended June 30, 2025 at $ 3.74 per share. As of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 the Company had 12,797,221 and 12,452,670 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Note 14 - Warrants Equity Classified Warrants September 2024 Common Stock Warrants In September 2024, the Company issued warrants to certain underwriters to purchase 143,750 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Company’s initial public offering for services provided. The warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $ 4.60 per share and have an expiration date of September 27, 2029 . At issuance, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $ 227,700 using the Black-Scholes model. As the warrants are accounted for as an equity issuance cost, the fair value of the warrants was recorded within additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are not remeasured in future periods as they meet the conditions for equity classification. The Company valued the warrants, based on a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Method, which included the following inputs: Schedule of Inputs for Warrant Fair Value Measurement Expected term 5 years Expected volatility 45 % Risk-free interest rate 3.50 % Expected dividend yield 0.00 % During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 88,742 shares of common stock upon the cashless exercise of warrants. There were no warrants outstanding at June 30, 2026. Note 15 - Share-Based Compensation Plans Stock Options The Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The Black Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. This option pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are: expected stock price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate, and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). The Company estimated a volatility factor utilizing a weighted average of comparable published volatilities of its peers. The Company applied the simplified method to determine the expected term of stock-based compensation grants. In prior years, the Company had granted time vested options to purchase shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $ 0.52 - $ 1.80 on the date of grant by the Board. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant and the fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes Merton model. On April 1, 2024, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,425,171 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 3.74 per share to employees, directors, consultants and non-employee service providers pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. F- 21 On September 27, 2024, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 4.00 per share to employees, directors, consultants and non-employee service providers pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant and the fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. On April 2, 2025, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 479,648 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 7.25 per share to employees and directors pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant and the fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. On October 16, 2025, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 58,708 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $ 9.51 per share to employees and directors pursuant to its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These options vest ratably over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant and the fair value of these options was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. On May 31, 2026, in connection with a four-year consulting agreement, the Company granted a non-employee consultant a nonqualified option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $ 11.11 per share. The option expires on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and vests in 48 equal monthly installments, subject to acceleration in full upon a change in control of the Company, a termination of the consultant by the Company without cause, or the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer ceasing to serve in that capacity.

The fair value of the options was $ 1.84 per option. The Company valued options issued in September 2024 using the Black Scholes model utilizing volatility 45 %, and a risk-free rate of 3.75 %. The fair value of the options was $ 1.94 per option. The Company valued options issued in April 2025 using the Black Scholes model utilizing volatility 55 %, and a risk-free rate of 4.01 %. The fair value of the options was $ 4.05 per option. The Company valued options issued in October 2025 using the Black Scholes model utilizing volatility 58 %, and a risk-free rate of 3.65 %. The fair value of the options was $ 5.46 per option. The Company valued options issued in May 2026 using the Black Scholes model utilizing volatility 60 %, and a risk-free rate of 4.20 %.

Unamortized compensation expense associated with unvested options was $ 2,421,731 and $ 832,205 as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The weighted average period over which these costs are expected to be recognized is approximately 2.25 years. Note 16 - Income Tax The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The Company has no valuation allowance as of June 30, 2026 and 2025. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. For businesses, the Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35 % to a flat 21 % rate. The rate reduction took effect on January 1, 2018. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows: Schedule of Components of Income Tax Expense (Benefit) June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Current: Federal $ 2,440,385 $ 1,935,372 State 1,437,540 1,050,770 Current income tax expense 3,877,925 2,986,142 Deferred: Federal ( 204,258 ) 403,941 State ( 131,129 ) 98,514 Deferred income tax expense ( 335,387 ) 502,455 Total income tax expense $ 3,542,538 $ 3,488,597 Income tax expense differed from the amount computed using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21 % for June 30, 2026 and 2025 as follows: Schedule of Federal Income Tax Expense June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Statutory U.S. federal income tax $ 2,663,224 $ 2,314,794 Non-deductible items 93,708 ( 123,961 ) Change in deferred items - 417,037 Provision to return ( 100,295 ) - State income taxes, net of federal benefit 916,825 769,790 Other ( 30,924 ) 110,937 Income tax expense $ 3,542,538 $ 3,488,597 F- 23 Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax assets included in deferred income taxes, non-current on the balance sheets are as follows: Schedule of Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Deferred tax assets: Lease liability and deferred rent $ 4,291,479 $ 4,492,549 Allowance for doubtful accounts 558,131 503,900 Accrued bonuses and vacation 589,547 582,994 Non-cash compensation 643,308 109,633 Deferred tax assets gross 6,082,465 5,689,076 Valuation allowance - - Deferred tax assets 6,082,465 5,689,076 Deferred tax liability: Right of use asset ( 4,271,986 ) ( 4,503,369 ) Property and equipment and intangible assets ( 1,079,546 ) ( 790,161 ) Deferred tax liability ( 5,351,532 ) ( 5,293,530 ) Net deferred tax asset $ 730,933 $ 395,546   The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and the state of California. As of June 30, 2026, the earliest tax year still subject to examination for federal purposes is the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and state purposes is the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Note 17 - Other Commitments and Contingency Regulatory In order for students to participate in Title IV federal financial aid programs, the Company is required to maintain certain standards of financial responsibility and administrative capability. In addition, the Company’s institutions are accredited by ACCET or ABHES and approved by other agencies and must comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the accrediting body and other agencies. As a result, the Company may be subject from time to time to audits, investigations, claims of noncompliance or lawsuits by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies, or third parties. While there can be no assurance that such matters will not occur and if they do occur will not have a material adverse effect on these financial statements, management believes that the Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable regulatory requirements as of the date of the financial statements. The Company is subject to extensive regulation by federal and state governmental agencies and accrediting bodies. In particular, the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the “Higher Education Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by ED, subject the Company to significant regulatory scrutiny on the basis of numerous standards that schools must satisfy in order to participate in the various federal student financial assistance programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Composite Score As described above, ED requires institutions to meet standards of financial responsibility. ED deems an institution financially responsible when the composite score is at least 1.5. We have calculated the Company’s composite score to be 3.0 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The composite score calculation for fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, has not yet been completed as of the date of these financial statements and is due on December 31, 2026. F- 24 90/10 Disclosure The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from student financial aid received by its students under the Title IV programs administered by ED pursuant to the Higher Education Act. To continue to participate in the student financial aid programs, the Company must comply with the regulations promulgated under the Higher Education Act. The regulations restrict the proportion of cash receipts for tuition and fees from eligible programs to not more than 90% from Title IV programs and other federal educational assistance funds (the “90/10 revenue test”). If an institution fails to satisfy the test for one year, its participation status becomes provisional for two consecutive fiscal years. If the test is not satisfied for two consecutive years, eligibility to participate in Title IV programs is lost for at least two fiscal years. Using ED’s cash-basis, regulatory formula under the 90/10 revenue test, as in effect for its 2025 fiscal year, HDMC, CCC, ICH, and CCMCC derived 86.82%, 80.35%, 84.71%, and 59.80% for their 90/10 revenue from Title IV program and other federal educational assistance funds, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The 90/10 calculations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, for each of our institutions are due to ED on December 31, 2026 and each is expected to be below 90%. Litigation The Company is unaware of any other pending or threatened litigation arising from services currently or formerly performed by the Company. The Company is unaware of any possible claims that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Note 18 – Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred up to the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. On September 14, 2026, CCC entered into a lease agreement for approximately 28,218 rentable square feet in Houston, Texas for its planned new campus. The lease has an initial term of 130 months following the commencement date defined in the lease, which is the earlier of the substantial completion of tenant improvements to the premises or the date CCC opens for business in the entire premises. Base rent and CCC’s pro rata share of the building’s operating expenses are abated for the first ten months of the lease term, and total base rent over the initial lease term is approximately $ 6.9 million. CCC will also pay rent on any portion of the premises it occupies before the commencement date. The landlord will provide a tenant improvement allowance, and the lease includes an option to renew for one additional seven-year term at fair market rent. F- 25 ITEM 9.
