Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
The
information set forth in this section contains certain “forward-looking statements”, including, among others (i) expected
changes in our revenue and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) our strategy for financing our business.
Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking
statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or “expects”.
These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, liquidity, ability to complete financing and purchase capital expenditures, growth
of our business including entering into future agreements with companies, and plans to successfully expand our business. We have based
these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we
believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.
Although
we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds
of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion
of forward-looking statements in this Annual Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives
or plans will be achieved.
We
assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting
forward-looking statements.
Our
revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous
factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural disaster, the inability of our company to insure
against certain risks, inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates, and changing government regulations
affecting our operations.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other
financial data appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

General
Overview of Operations
We
own and operate two public golf country clubs in Florida that we acquired in 2014. Our golf country clubs include two golf-courses with
over 13,000 yards of combined fairways, clubhouses boasting food and beverage options, aquatic golf ranges, and pro shops to assist any
level of golfers. Our two golf country clubs are situated on over 289 acres of multi-service recreational property.
Each
of our golf country clubs is organized into four revenue streams: (i) golf operations, (ii) sales of food and beverage; (iii) sales of
merchandise; and (iv) ancillary income.
Management’s
Plans
Over
the next twelve months, we plan to continue to promote, market, manage and operate our golf country clubs with the intent to (i) attract
and retain customers across a number of demographic groups to further develop customer loyalty and capture a greater share of customers
in the greater Orlando Florida region and (ii) increase revenue from managing and operating our golf country clubs.
We
believe attracting and retaining customers while increasing customer engagement and loyalty by providing what we believe to be a high
quality golfing experience will drive our revenue. Drivers of our revenue growth will require continued efforts in maintaining and improving
upon the quality of our customers’ experiences at our golf country clubs. To that end, we have successfully completed the following
major renovations during Q3 of 2025:
●
Installing
19 brand new TiffEagle greens at Remington Golf Club;
●
Extensively
renovated the interior and exterior of the Clubhouse at Kissimmee Bay Country Club
17
In addition, we will continue to review and seek to expand our portfolio through regional country club acquisitions.
Key
Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
a.
Seasonality
and weather
Our
businesses are subject to seasonality and typically the first quarter of each year is our busiest season of the year. Then, even during
our busy season, our business activities are affected by weather conditions. In 2025, we experienced more than average rainy days during
the first three months ended March 31, 2025 causing our revenue to be under pressure.
b.
Cost
of maintenance due to inflation
The
DTE Agreement was renewed in 2022 and the renewed contractual price has been fully reflected in Q1 2025. The higher contractual price
is a reflection of the inflationary environment that has subsequently impacted the labor, fertilizer and chemical markets. The maintenance
cost and contract with DTE was further renewed in November 2025 and the contractual price has been increased by approximately 10% starting
from November 2025.
c.
Renovation
and upgrading of our golf courses and clubhouses
As
disclosed in our prospectus dated February 11, 2025, some of the net proceeds from the initial public offering will be used for renovation
and upgrading of our golf courses, clubhouse and facilities. Through careful planning and scheduling, we completed an extensive interior
and exterior renovation of our clubhouse located at Kissimmee Bay Country Club with no disruption to daily business operations. However,
in case of Remington Golf Club, the golf club had to be temporarily closed for renovation starting from May 17, 2025. The renovation
was successfully completed, and the golf club was re-opened on October 3, 2025. During the renovation period, we removed all old greens
at Remington Golf Club and installed new TifEagle greens. The renovation project had an adverse effect on our
businesses revenue at Remington Golf Club. The results of operations and the financial impact has been reflected in our results for the
year ended December 31, 2025.
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. The financial statements
of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant
inter-company transactions and balances between members of the Group are eliminated upon consolidation.
Critical
Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”).
GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.
18
The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited
to, the allowance for expected credit loss, allowance for deferred tax assets, the impairment assessment of property and equipment, estimated
incremental borrowing rate of lease and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When
reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other
uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.
Our critical accounting policy and practice is revenue recognition, property and equipment, stock-based compensation and income tax.
For the details of the accounting policies of these critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Our
revenue is mainly comprised of golf operations, sales of food and beverage and sales of merchandise. Overall decrease in revenue period
over period by $333,984 or 10% was mainly due to the decrease in all revenue stream.
Revenue
from golf operations decreased by $268,802 or 11% from $2,443,178 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $2,174,376 for the year ended
December 31, 2025, which was mainly driven by the decrease in one-time green fees from golf operations by $255,437 or 12% and the decrease
in annual membership dues by $13,365 or 4%.
Revenue
from annual membership dues accounted for 10% and 9% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. It
decreased by $13,365 or 4% mainly due to the lower demand for annual memberships, a direct result of one of our golf courses being closed
for renovation from May 17, 2025 to October 2, 2025.
One-time
green fees from golf operations accounted for 64% and 65% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.
Decrease in one-time greens fees by 12% resulted from the decrease in total number of rounds by approximately 9% from approximately 56,000
rounds during the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately 51,000 rounds during the year ended December 31, 2025 and the decrease
in average price per round by approximately 3% from $38 per round for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $37 per round for the year
ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in revenue was due to one of our golf courses, Remington Golf Club, was closed for renovation during
the period as mentioned above.
Decrease
in revenue from sales of food and beverage by $33,741 or 5% from $648,738 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $614,997 for the year
ended December 31, 2025 was contributed by a decrease in quantities sold by 5% from approximately 103,000 for the year ended December
31, 2024 to approximately 98,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 while the average unit price remained stable at $6 per unit for
both years. The decrease in quantities sold was in line with decrease in golf operations.
Decrease
in revenue from sales of merchandise by $9,882 or 9% from $115,262 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $105,380 for the year ended
December 31, 2025 was contributed by a decrease in sales of golf balls, men’s and ladies’ wear and gloves by 12% as a result
of the decrease in customers playing golf during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Ancillary
revenue mainly represented the equipment and facilities rental, including the lease of our clubhouse and lease of golf club to our customers.
The decrease by $21,559 or 24% was mainly due to the decrease in demand for rental services for activities and events during the year
ended December 31, 2025.

landscaping. Increase in golf operating costs by $45,478 or 3% from $1,367,958 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1,413,436
for the year ended December 31, 2025 which was attributable to the contractual price for the maintenance contract with
Down-to-Earth, which increased as a result of the contract renewal.

Our
cost of merchandise sales consisted of mainly the purchase cost of golf balls, men’s and ladies’ wear, gloves and headwear.
Increase in cost of merchandise sales by $2,248 was due to the increase in purchasing cost of merchandise goods by our suppliers because
inflation increases their production and operational costs.

salaries and benefits mainly consisted of the director’s remuneration, the staff costs and welfare of management, operating team,
cashier and administrative personnel. The increase in salaries and benefits by $2,576,740 or 356% was primarily due to the increase in

The increase in depreciation was mainly due to the additions of property and equipment of $1,074,008 during the current year.
The increase in our legal and professional fees by
$433,116 or 1 44 % was mainly due to the (i) increase in legal costs by approximately $280,000 resulted from various corporate exercises
conducted during the year, such as the grant of stock options and the private placement; and (ii) consultancy service fee of $118,750
was recognized during the year.

$400,000, rental expenses by approximately $100,000, travelling expenses by approximately $204,000, director’s and officer’s

money market accounts and additional service charges from customers who paid by credit cards. The increase in other income (expense)
by $618,489 for the year ended December 31, 2025 was mainly due to the dividend income generated from cash deposit in money market accounts
following the successful listing of our common stocks on Nasdaq.

receivable

of golf operations services and sales of merchandise and food and beverages which are recorded net of allowance for expected credit
loss. Increase in balance was mainly due to the more customers who paid by credit cards near the year end.
Inventories
Our
inventories consist of merchandise goods such as golf balls, gloves, men’s wear and women’s wears. The Company keeps low
inventories since the turnaround time is short.
Deferred
offering costs
Deferred
offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to
the IPO. Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity netted against the proceeds upon the completion of the
IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred offering costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged
to statements of operations. The deferred offering costs was offset against the equity upon the listing during the current year which
resulted in nil balance as of December 31, 2025.

expenses represent the prepayment for (i) the consultancy service of $331,250; (ii) the prepaid annual
listing fee to Nasdaq of $7,384; (iii) the director’s and officer’s liability insurance premium of $73,166; (iv) the membership fee for different golf clubs with current portion of

Kong-based advisory firm, pursuant to which CBCL agreed to provide the Company with business development leads for the acquisition of
golf properties in Asia, golf property management contracts, and strategic corporate relationships in China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan,
and Singapore, for a period of 36 months ending March 14, 2028. The total fee under the agreement is $450,000, all of which was paid
during fiscal year 2025. The agreement also provides for a success fee equal to 10% of the total contract value or profits of any transaction
completed in connection with CBCL’s services. The total amount in the contract will be amortized ratably to the service period since
the services are expected to be provided evenly throughout the contract period. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $118,750 of
consultancy service fee was recognized in statement of operations and the remaining prepaid amount was recognized as prepaid expenses
with current portion of $150,000 and non-current portion of $181,250.

listing with gross payment of $64,167 and prepaid obligation insurance for directors and officers starting from July 25, 2025 with gross
payment of $129,994, the service contract has one year term and the prepaid amount was amortized throughout the contract period starting
from the date of contract and the amortization costs were recognized as other general and administration expenses while the remaining

and Scotland, respectively, during the year ended 31 December 2025. The membership periods for these clubs are starting from
November 20, 2025 to September 30, 2051, one year starting from January 1, 2026, and one year starting from January 1, 2026,
respectively. The prepaid membership fees will be amortized according to the term for the membership since the Company expected the
usage will be evenly distributed over the time period. Subsequent to year end on March 23, 2026, the board of directors approved the disposal of all three golf club memberships.
The Company entered into two separate agreements to dispose (i) one golf club membership with a carrying amount of $319,998 as of December
31, 2025 for a cash consideration of $322,500 (the original acquisition price by the Company) to Mr. Cheung Chi Ping, director of the
Company, and (ii) two golf club memberships with an aggregate carrying amount of $58,836 as of December 31, 2025 with a cash consideration
of $58,836 (the original acquisition price by the Company) to Mr. Cheung Ching Ping, director of the Company. The disposal prices were
based on the original acquisition costs of the memberships, which management believes approximate their fair values. The transactions
were approved by the board of directors. All cash consideration of $381,336 was received by March 31, 2026.
Accounts
payable, other payables and accrued liabilities
Accounts
payable, other payables and accrued liabilities represented the payable to the vendors for the course upkeep costs, credit cards
charge payables, sales tax payables and property tax payable. Increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance by
$268,922 or 64% from $420,005 as of December 31, 2024 to $688,927 as of December 31, 2025 was mainly due to the increase in accounts
payable by $53,176, as costs incurred to vendors exceeded settlements during the year, and an accrued audit fee of $115,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2025.
Contract
liabilities – deferred revenue
Contract
liabilities – deferred revenue represented the annual membership dues received in advance before the usage of golf course by the
customers. The decrease in this balance by $16,246 or 10% was mainly due to revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025
outweighed the annual membership dues being received in advance.
Bank
and Other Borrowings
The
Company borrowed loans from various financial institutions for working capital purpose. The decrease in bank and other borrowings was
mainly due to full settlement of all bank and other borrowing during the year months ended December 31, 2025 upon listing in February
2025.
Operating
lease liabilities
The
operating leases liabilities represented the leases for golf carts and golf equipment for terms of four to five years. The increase in
current operating leases liabilities was mainly due new leases being signed during year ended December 31, 2025.

as a result of settlement of payables to vendors outweighed the costs incurred to vendors and offset by the increase in accrued expenses

Cash
Flow Sufficiency
In
order to meet the debt obligations and operating needs of our business, our management expects to satisfy the cash flow needs and through
(i) maintaining stable relationships with banks in order to renew the bank borrowings upon maturity or to arrange for additional banking
facilities for use when necessary; (ii) closely monitoring the collection status of accounts receivable and actively following up with
our customers for settlements; (iii) diversifying and broadening our customer base to avoid reliance on particular customers and to expand
our sources of revenue and cash flow; (iv) effectively managing accounts payable and negotiating for longer credit periods from suppliers,
when necessary; (v) obtaining financial support from our Controlling Shareholder and investors to meet short-term operating expenses;
and (vi) continuing to focusing on improving operational efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency.
The
Company successfully raised a total net proceed of $10.65 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and other offering
expenses, from its initial public offering on February 13, 2025.
27
On
July 23, 2025, the Company has entered into definitive securities purchase agreements with accredited and institutional investors for
the issuance and sale of units consisting of common stock (each a share of “Common Stock”) (or pre-funded warrants (“Pre-funded
Warrants”) to purchase in lieu thereof) together with common A warrants and common B warrants (each of the common A and common
B warrants a “Common Warrant”) to purchase the same number of shares of common stock (or Pre-funded Warrants) of the Company
at a price of $0.87 per unit, on a brokered private placement basis, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $23.52 million, after
deducting fees and offering expenses.
The
Company believes that, taking into consideration the successful IPO listing on Nasdaq capital market in February 2025, the private placement
in July 2025 and internal financial resources we have, including the current levels of cash and cash flows from operations, and the measures
mentioned above, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
Material
weaknesses
We
have not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered
public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. However, during the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as well as other control
deficiencies for the above-mentioned periods. As defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, a “material weakness”
is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of our annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses
identified related to (i) inadequate segregation of duties for certain key functions due to limited staff and resources; and (ii) a lack
of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to
formalize key controls over financial reporting and to prepare consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We intend to
implement measures designed to improve its internal control over financial reporting to address the underlying causes of these material
weaknesses, including (i) hiring more qualified staff to fill up the key roles in the operations; and (ii) setting up a financial and
system control framework with formal documentation of polices and controls in place.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Credit
Risk
The
Company’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables. The Company’s credit
risk is primarily concentrated in its cash which is held with institutions with a high credit worthiness. The Company has not experienced
losses on their accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard
to these deposits is not significant.
Management
believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
The
Company mitigates its credit risk on receivables by actively managing and monitoring its receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk
by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses
with existing customers. Since all receivable as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are aged within one year and collected all
receivables subsequent to year end, minimum credit risk was noted for receivable.
Vendor
concentration risk
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company owed 87% and 94% of accounts payable to a key supplier, respectively.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one vendor accounted for 15% and 31% of our total operating costs, respectively. No other
vendor accounts for more than 10% of our total operating costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
28
Interest
rate risk
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as its financial liabilities carry interest at fixed rates.
Liquidity
risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as
possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Typically,
the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of twelve months, including
through operations and financial support from our stockholders and financial institutions. We are continuing to focus on improving operational
efficiency and cost reductions and enhancing efficiency, as well as servicing of financial obligations: this excludes the potential impact
of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current
and future liquidity needs.
Market
Risk
Market
risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposure is generally limited to those
risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize
financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
