Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon this evaluation,
our management concluded that as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance
level due to the material weaknesses described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, based on the Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). Based on this
evaluation under the 2013 Framework, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2025 due to the following material weaknesses:
● We are lacking adequate segregation of duties and effective
risk assessment; and
● We are lacking sufficient written policies and procedures
for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both the U.S. GAAP, and SEC guidelines.
A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We plan to address the weaknesses identified above by implementing the following
measures:
(i) Continuously hiring additional accounting staffs with comprehensive
knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements;
(ii) Designing and implementing formal procedures and controls
supporting the Company’s period-end financial reporting process, such as controls over the preparation and review of account reconciliations
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; and
(iii) Ameliorating our internal audit to assist with assessment
of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of internal controls related to financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 that materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board Composition and Election of Directors
Our board of directors currently
consists of five members. Each of our current directors will continue to serve until the first annual meeting of the stockholders or until
their successor(s) shall have been elected and qualified.
Director Independence
Our common stock is listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”). Under the rules of the Nasdaq, independent directors may comprise a majority
of a listed company’s board of directors within one year following the listing date of the company’s securities. Under the
rules of the Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that that company’s board of directors
affirmatively determines that such person does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Our board of directors has
undertaken a review of the independence of each director and, based on the information provided by each director concerning his or her
background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Zhengyi (Janice) Fang, Xiaoou Li and Aik Siang Goh
qualify as independent directors in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. Our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to
each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise
of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed
and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s relationships as they may relate to us
and our management, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each director.
Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
Risk assessment and oversight
are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our board of directors encourages management to promote a culture that
incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational
risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused
discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with the board of directors
at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations, or strategies,
and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.
Our board of directors does
not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors
as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas
of oversight. While our board of directors has a fiduciary duty to monitor and assess strategic risk exposure, our audit committee is
responsible for overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures,
overseeing cybersecurity risks and assisting the board of directors in its oversight over enterprise risk management. The audit committee
also approves or disapproves any related person transactions. Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness
of our corporate governance guidelines and manages risks associated with the independence of the board of directors. Our compensation
and leadership development committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to
encourage excessive risk-taking.
26
Committees of the Board of Directors
We have established an audit
committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee under the board of directors. We have adopted
a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit Committee. Our
audit committee consists of Ms. Zhengyi (Janice) Fang, Ms. Xiaoou Li and Mr. Goh, and is chaired by Ms. Fang. Ms. Fang, Ms. Li
and Mr. Goh each satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq and
meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended. We have determined that Ms. Fang qualifies as
an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and
the audits of the financial statements of our company. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:
● selecting the independent registered public accounting firm
and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm;
● reviewing with the independent registered public accounting
firm any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;
● reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions,
as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act;

controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies;

committee charter;
● meeting separately and periodically with management and the
independent registered public accounting firm; and

Committee. Our compensation committee consists of Ms. Fang, Ms. Li and Mr. Goh, and is chaired by Ms. Li. Ms. Fang, Ms. Li
and Mr. Goh each satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq. The
compensation committee assists the board of directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of
compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our executive officers may not be present at any committee meeting
during which their compensation is deliberated upon. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
● reviewing the total compensation package for our executive
officers and making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to it;
● approving and overseeing the total compensation package for
our executives other than the three most senior executives;
27
● reviewing the compensation of our directors and making recommendations
to the board of directors with respect to it; and
● periodically reviewing and approving any long-term incentive
compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements, annual bonuses, and employee pension and welfare benefit plans.
Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee. Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Ms. Fang, Ms. Li and Mr. Goh, and is chaired by Mr. Goh.
Ms. Fang, Ms. Li and Mr. Goh each satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing
Rules of the Nasdaq. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified
to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board of directors and its committees. The nominating and corporate
governance committee is responsible for, among other things:
● recommending nominees to the board of directors for election
or re-election to the board of directors, or for appointment to fill any vacancy on the board of directors;
● reviewing annually with the board of directors the current
composition of the board of directors with regards to characteristics such as independence, age, skills, experience and availability
of service to us;
● selecting and recommending to the board of directors the names
of directors to serve as members of the audit committee and the compensation committee, as well as of the nominating and corporate governance
committee itself; and
● monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and
ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.
Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation
None of the members of our
compensation committee is or has been our current or former officer or employee. None of our executive officers served as a director or
a member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, including any entity whose
executive officers served as a director or member of our compensation committee.
Family Relationships
No family relationships existed
among any of our directors or executive officers.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics, or the Code of Conduct, applicable to all of our employees, executive officers and directors.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an Insider
Trading Policy which requires insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession
of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the compliance officer of the policy prior to execution.
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other
equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To our knowledge, based solely
on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025,
all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers and directors under the Exchange Act were met in a timely manner.

Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment
agreements with each of our NEOs (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”). The Employment Agreements establish an initial
base salary for each of our NEOs and provide that each of our NEOs is eligible to participate in our standard employee benefit plan. The
employment of each of our NEOs can be terminated by us at any time with or without cause. Each of the NEOs may (i) resign if such resignation
is approved by our board of directors or an alternative arrangement with respect to his services is agreed to by the board of directors,
and (ii) terminate his employment at any time with a one-month prior written notice to the Company, if (a) there is a material reduction
in his authority, duties and responsibilities, or (b) there is a material reduction in his annual salary.
None of our NEOs is entitled
to any cash severance payment upon a termination of their employment for “cause” (as defined in such employment agreement),
or for death and disability.
29
If any of the NEOs’
employment is terminated by us without cause, he will be entitled to severance payments and benefits of: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal
to six months of his base salary as of the date of such termination; (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to a pro-rated amount of his target
annual bonus for the year immediately preceding the termination, if any; (iii) payment of premiums for continued health benefits under
the Company’s health plans for 12 months following the termination, if any; and (iv) immediate vesting of 100% of the then-unvested

Equity-Based Compensation
As of the date of this report,
we had not adopted any equity incentive plan, nor had we awarded any equity-based compensation to any employees, including our NEOs.
Other Compensation and Benefits
We maintain a 401(k) plan
that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able
to defer eligible compensation up to certain limits in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which
are updated annually. We have the ability to make matching and discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. Currently, we do not make
matching contributions or discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Code, with the related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions
to the 401(k) plan are deductible by us when made, and contributions and earnings on those amounts are not generally taxable to the employees
until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan.
Our NEOs did not participate
in, or earn any benefits under, a non-qualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by us during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025.
Our board of directors may elect to provide our officers and other employees with non-qualified defined contribution or other non-qualified
deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.
Our NEOs did not participate
in, or otherwise receive any benefits under, any pension or retirement plan sponsored by us during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025.
