Part IV. (3) Anticipated Significant Changes in Results of Operations
We anticipate that we will report the following significant changes in the results of operations from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025:
Revenue
Revenue decreased by 49% from $1.99 million for the fiscal year 2024 to $1.02 million for the fiscal year 2025. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a 94% decrease in revenue generated from online education services from $1.99 million for the fiscal year 2024 to $0.12 million for the fiscal year 2025. The decrease in the revenue from the online education services was primarily due to a decrease in online VIP membership revenue from $1.6 million in the fiscal year 2024 to $0.12 million in the fiscal year 2025, as a result of the intensified competition and free courses provided in the vocational education market in China. In the fiscal year 2024 and 2025, certain competitors continued to provide free access to and courses on their online education platforms which started during the COVID-19, resulting in a decrease in the number of fee-paying members of the VIE and a decrease in the revenue generated from the VIE’s online education services.
Other Income
Net other expense was $0.04 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared with net other income of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, and a sharp decrease due to the cancelation payment of bonus liability in the fiscal year 2024.
Income (Loss) Before Tax
Loss before tax was $7.5 million for the fiscal year 2025, compared with loss before tax of $4.7 million for the fiscal year 2024.
Net Profit (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $ 7.5 million for the fiscal year 2025, representing a change of $ 2.8 million from a net loss of $4.7 million for the fiscal year 2024.
