FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains many statements that are “forward-looking” and uses forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “ought to,” “plan,” “possible,” “potentially,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” negatives of such terms or other similar statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement due to its inherent risk and uncertainties, both general and specific. Although we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable and within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations as of the date of this Annual Report, any or all of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. As a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could also be incorrect. The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report include, without limitation, statements relating to:
| ● | our goals and strategies; |
| ● | our future business development, financial condition and results of operations; |
| ● | expected changes in our revenue, costs or expenditure; |
| ● | our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services; |
| ● | competition in our industry; and |
| ● | government policies and regulations relating to our industry. |
The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our businesses and business environments. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results of our operations may differ materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors, some of which are described under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” “Information on our Company” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Such risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Annual Report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report speak only as of the date of this Annual Report or, if obtained from third-party studies or reports, the date of the corresponding study or report, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this Annual Report. Since we operate in an emerging and evolving environment and new risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as otherwise required by the securities laws of the United States, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Summary Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business and industry include, without limitation, the following. For details of each of these bulleted risk factors, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry” under the same subheadings beginning on page 5.
| ● | We face intense competition in the broader supply chain services industry, especially if large logistics service providers who hire our expertise decide to expand their offerings to include OTC pharmaceutical related supply chain services in-house, which could adversely affect our results of operations and market share. (page 5) |
| ● | Our OTC pharmaceutical cross-border procurement and distribution business operates in highly competitive and evolving markets. (page 6) |
| ● | Certain customers contributed to a significant percentage of our total revenue during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, and losing one or more of them could result in a material adverse impact on our financial performance and business prospects. (page 6) |
1
| ● | If we fail to cost-efficiently attract new customers to use our solutions and services, or to maintain relationships with existing customers, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. (page 7) |
| ● | Our business and growth are significantly affected by the development of international commerce and the e-commerce industry, as well as macroeconomic and other factors that affect demand for OTC pharmaceutical products and related supply chain services, in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and globally. (page 7) |
| ● | Current and future trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. (page 8) |
| ● | We face risks associated with the OTC pharmaceutical inventories handled through our logistics networks, including real or perceived quality or health issues with the products that are handled through our logistics networks, and risks inherent in the logistics industry, including personal injury, product damage, and transportation-related incidents. (page 8) |
| ● | Failure to successfully implement our business strategy, effectively respond to changes in market dynamics and satisfactorily meet customer demands may cause our future financial results to suffer. (page 9) |
| ● | Any disruption to the operation of our warehousing and logistics facilities, or to the development of new warehousing and logistics facilities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. (page 10) |
| ● | Our suppliers include OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors, logistics service subcontractors, packaging service providers, etc., and any loss of our suppliers or if our suppliers fail to deliver products or services according to schedules, prices, quality and volumes that are acceptable to us, our operation may suffer. (page 10) |
| ● | Our insurance coverage may not be adequate, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruptions. (page 11) |
| ● | If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, many of which are highly complex, we could be subject to significant adverse regulatory actions, including monetary penalties, or suffer brand and reputational harm. (page 11) |
| ● | Failure to obtain certain filings, approvals, licenses, permits and certificates required for our business operations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. (page 12) |
| ● | The failure or disruption of our information technology systems or the failure of our information technology infrastructure to support our businesses could adversely affect our reputation, business, operating results, and cash flows. (page 13) |
| ● | Data governance failures can adversely affect our reputation, businesses, and prospects. Our use and disclosure of customers’ sensitive information is subject to complex regulations at multiple levels. We would be adversely affected if we or our business associates or other vendors fail to adequately protect customers’ or other sensitive information. (page 14) |
| ● | Our business depends on the continued efforts of our senior management. If any of our key executives and employees was unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business may be severely disrupted. (page 15) |
2
| ● | Cellyan Biotechnology relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its HK Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements Cellyan Biotechnology may have, and any limitation on the ability of its HK Subsidiaries to make payments to Cellyan Biotechnology could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, while currently there are no restrictions on foreign exchange, nor limitations on the ability of Cellyan Biotechnology to transfer cash to or from HK Subsidiaries or to investors under Hong Kong laws, if certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to our HK Subsidiaries, to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or with a Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on HK Subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds or assets by the PRC government. (page 17) |
| ● | Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our business and price of our securities. (page 18) |
| ● | We are exposed to foreign currency risk. (page 18) |
Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong
| ● | Substantially all our operations are in Hong Kong. However, the legal and operational risks associated with operations in China may also apply to our operations in Hong Kong. The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and control over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government may also be quick and the risks related to the PRC legal and regulatory system may materialize. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — Substantially all our operations are in Hong Kong. However, the legal and operational risks associated with operations in China may also apply to our operations in Hong Kong. The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and control over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government may also be quick and the risks related to the PRC legal and regulatory system may materialize” beginning on page 19. |
| ● | The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding the Hong Kong National Security Law could impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiaries. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding the Hong Kong National Security Law could impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiaries” beginning on page 20. |
| ● | Changes in Hong Kong’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — Changes in Hong Kong’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations” beginning on page 20. |
| ● | There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong” beginning on page 20. |
| ● | The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and acts passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to U.S.-listed companies with significant operations in China and Hong Kong. These developments could add uncertainties to our business operations, share price and reputation. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and acts passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to U.S.-listed companies with significant operations in China and Hong Kong. These developments could add uncertainties to our business operations, share price and reputation” beginning on page 21. |
3
| ● | The Hong Kong and China legal systems are evolving and embody uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us. Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — The Hong Kong and China legal systems are evolving and embody uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us. Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us” beginning on page 23. |
| ● | We may become subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cyber security, data protection, overseas offerings and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and may hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — We may become subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cyber security, data protection, overseas offerings and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and may hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless” beginning on page 19. |
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
| ● | The price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has dipped under $1 in the past which may increase the risk of delisting due to failure to maintain minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq rules. (page 24) |
| ● | The market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has been volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. (page 25) |
| ● | We may not be able to maintain a listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. (page 27) |
| ● | If securities or industry analysts publish unfavorable research, or do not continue to cover us, the Company’s share price and trading volume could decline. (page 27) |
| ● | We have not historically declared or paid dividends on our shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares. (page 27) |
| ● | We may issue additional equity or debt securities, which are senior to the Class A Ordinary Shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares. (page 27) |
| ● | Our largest shareholder, Ms. Liying Wang, through TUTU Business Services Limited, holds a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding share capital, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters. (page 28) |
| ● | We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and the shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. (page 28) |
4
| ● | We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. We plan to take advantage of the exemptions available to us as a foreign private issuer. (page 29) |
| ● | As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares. (page 29) |
| ● | We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses. (page 30) |
| ● | You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders. (page 30) | |
| ● | The sale of a substantial amount of our Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. (page 30) |
| ● | Certain judgments obtained against us and the Selling Shareholders by Cellyan Biotechnology’s shareholders may not be enforceable. (page 30) |
| ● | You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because Cellyan Biotechnology was incorporated under Cayman Islands law. (page 31) |
| ● | Cellyan Biotechnology’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain anti-takeover provisions that could discourage a third party from acquiring us, which could limit Cellyan Biotechnology’s shareholders’ opportunity to sell their shares at a premium. (page 32) |
| ● | Cayman Islands economic substance requirements may have an effect on our business and operations. (page 32) |
| ● | There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in the Class A Ordinary Shares. (page 32) |
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We face intense competition in the broader supply chain services industry, especially if large logistics service providers who hire our expertise decide to expand their offerings to include OTC pharmaceutical related supply chain services in-house, which could adversely affect our results of operations and market share.
Our Supply Chain Services division is situated in the broader logistics services industry. This industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Specifically, there are multiple existing market players that offer comprehensive supply chain solutions and logistics services, and there may be new entrants emerging in each of the markets we operate in, which compete to attract, engage, and retain consumers and merchants. These companies may have greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we do. They may also have longer operating histories, a larger customer base or broader and deeper market coverage. As a result, the expansion of services by existing large logistics service providers into the OTC pharmaceutical sector represents a potential competitive challenge. These companies, leveraging their existing experience in logistics, may have a strategic advantage in adapting their operations and services to meet the specific demands of OTC pharmaceutical distribution. This shift could alter the competitive landscape and materially adversely affect our market position.
Any significant increase in competition may have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability as well as on our operations and business prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continuously distinguish our services from those of our competitors, preserve and improve our relationships with partners, or increase or even maintain our existing market share. We may experience the loss of market share, and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to compete effectively.
5
In addition, new partnerships and strategic alliances in the logistics service industry also can alter market dynamics and adversely impact our businesses and competitive positioning. If we cannot equip ourselves with necessary resources and skills, we may lose our market share as competition increases. In addition, our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and offerings. If we are unable to anticipate or react to these competitive challenges, our competitive position could be undermined, and we could experience a decline in growth which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, certain e-commerce platforms may establish or further develop their own logistics networks leveraging on their established warehousing and delivery capacities in selected areas in order to gain control of the consumer touchpoint and to create synergies with their businesses. They may also compete with us for warehouse staff with competitive remuneration. Any of the above could adversely affect our results of operations and market share.
Our OTC pharmaceutical cross-border procurement and distribution business operates in highly competitive and evolving markets.
As competition increases in the geographies in which we operate, including competition from new entrants, a significant increase in price compression could occur, and this could require us to reevaluate our pricing structures to remain competitive. If we fail to maintain our relationship with one or more existing OTC pharmaceutical product suppliers, our operating results, cash flow and/or prospects could be adversely affected.
Disruptive innovation in this market by existing or new competitors could alter the competitive landscape in the future and require us to accurately identify and assess such alterations and make timely and effective changes to our strategies and business model to compete effectively. To compete effectively in the consumer-driven marketplace, we will be required to develop or acquire new capabilities, attract new talent, and develop new service and distribution relationships that respond to consumer needs and preferences. Changes in marketplace dynamics or the actions of competitors or drug manufacturers or distributors, including industry consolidation, and the emergence of strong domestic OTC pharmaceutical brands and products in Mainland China, could materially and adversely affect our businesses, operating results, cash flows and/or prospects.
Certain customers contributed to a significant percentage of our total revenue during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2026, and losing one or more of them could result in a material adverse impact on our financial performance and business prospects.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we had six customers that each accounted for more than 5% of total revenues, and, specifically, such customers accounted for 11.36%, 7.87%, 7.45%, 6.39%, 5.69% and 5.29% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2026, we had seven customers that each accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s total revenues, and, specifically, such customers accounted for 12.05%, 10.50%, 9.19%, 9.14%, 8.13%, 7.11% and 6.07% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.
The customer who accounted for approximately 7.45% and 10.50% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, respectively, is CaiNiao Our subsidiary, Joint Cross Border, has entered into a series of agreements with CaiNiao. Under such agreements, we were contracted to provide long-term warehousing and supply chain services related to cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products, to Alibaba Group’s online trading platforms and other e-commerce platforms that utilize CaiNiao’s logistics services. For additional information on our relationship with CaiNiao, see the section captioned “Business — Customers — Agreements with CaiNiao.”
There are a number of factors, including our performance, that could cause the loss of, or decrease in the volume of business from, a customer. Even though we have a strong record of performance, we cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain the business cooperation with these customers at the same level, or at all. The loss of business from one or more of these significant customers, especially our top customer, could materially and adversely affect our revenue and profit. Furthermore, if any customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure an alternative arrangement with comparable clients in a timely manner, or at all.

If we fail to cost-efficiently attract new customers to use our solutions and services, or to maintain relationships with existing customers, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our ability to attract and retain customers is dependent upon providing cost effective wholesale OTC pharmaceutical products and quality logistics service operations (such as procuring overseas OTC pharmaceutical products, enlisting OTC pharmaceutical products, obtaining import and export permits and clearances, storing products at regulatory compliant warehousing, packaging) that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations, either directly or through our business partners. As we seek to reduce general and administrative expenses, we must balance the potential impact of cost-saving measures on our customers and other services and performances. If we misjudge the effects of such measures, customers and other services may be adversely affected. If we fail to provide services that meet our customers’ expectations, we may have difficulty retaining or profitably growing our customer base, which could adversely affect our operating results.
We believe that our selling and marketing efficiency, consistent and reliable services, and rapid responses to changing customer preferences have been critical in promoting awareness of our services, which in turn drive customer growth and engagement. However, if our promotional activities and marketing strategies do not work efficiently, we cannot maintain our selling and marketing expenses at a reasonable level. In addition, if the customers do not perceive our solutions and services to be timely and reliable, we may not be able to attract and retain customers and increase their use of our solutions and services. If we fail to cost-effectively retain customers and increase their use of our solutions and services, our business and results of operations could be adversely and materially affected.
Further, while we currently believe we can achieve profitability and grow cash flows organically through further penetration of existing customers and by expanding our customer base, we may not be able to effectively and successfully implement such strategies and realize our stated goals. Our goals may be negatively affected by a failure to further penetrate our existing customer base, expand our service offerings, pursue new customer opportunities, manage the operations and expenses of new or growing service offerings or otherwise achieve growth of our service offerings.
Our business and growth are significantly affected by the development of international commerce and the e-commerce industry, as well as macroeconomic and other factors that affect demand for OTC pharmaceutical products and related supply chain services, in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and globally.
We generate a significant portion of volume of orders by serving merchants who sell imported OTC pharmaceutical products on various e-commerce platforms in China, which rely on our supply chain services to fulfill orders placed by consumers on such platforms. As such, our business and growth are highly dependent on the viability and prospects of international commerce, as well as the domestic and international OTC pharmaceutical e-commerce industry. Any uncertainties relating to the growth, profitability, and regulatory regime of international commerce and/or the e-commerce industry could have a significant impact on us. The development of international commerce and/or the e-commerce industry is affected by a number of factors, most of which are beyond our control. These factors include but not limited to:
| ● | the consumption power and disposable income of consumers, especially consumers who prefer overseas OTC pharmaceutical products; |
| ● | the growth of broadband and mobile internet penetration and usage; |
| ● | the availability, reliability and security of e-commerce platforms; |
| ● | the selection, price and popularity of OTC pharmaceutical products offered on e-commerce platforms; |
| ● | the emergence of alternative channels or business models that better suit the needs of consumers; |
| ● | the development of logistics, payment and other ancillary services associated with international commerce and/or e-commerce; and |
| ● | changes in laws and regulations, as well as government policies that govern cross-border e-commerce OTC pharmaceutical industry. |
7
The cross-border e-commerce OTC pharmaceutical industry is highly sensitive to the changes of macroeconomic conditions, and people’s e-commerce spending tends to decline during recessionary periods. Many factors beyond our control, including economic recessions, downturns in business cycles, inflation and deflation, fluctuation of currency exchange rate, volatility of stock and property markets, interest rates, tax rates and other government policies and changes in unemployment rates, can adversely affect international commerce, consumer confidence and spending behavior on e-commerce platforms, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our growth and profitability. In addition, unfavorable changes in domestic and international politics, including military conflicts, political turmoil, and social instability, may also adversely affect consumer confidence and spending behavior, which could in turn negatively impact our growth and profitability.
Further, during economic downturns, whether in China or globally, reduced overall demand for cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products will likely result in decreased demand for our supply chain services and exert downward pressures on our rates and margins. As we provide our supply chain services for the cross-border e-commerce OTC pharmaceutical industry, our business prospect may be adversely affected if the online and offline retail channel integration trend or any other trend required for the development of international commerce and the e-commerce industry does not develop as we expect. In periods of strong economic growth, demand for limited transportation resources required for logistical operations may also be subject to increased network congestion that could result in operating inefficiencies.
Current and future trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We provide logistical services for cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products. We are subject to risks relating to changes in trade policies, tariff regulations, embargoes, or other trade restrictions adverse to our customers’ business. Actions by governments which result in restrictions on movement of cargo or otherwise could also impede our ability to carry out our operations. In addition, international trade and political issues, tensions, conflicts, and wars may cause delays and interruptions to cross-border transportation. If we are unable to transport cargo to and from countries with trade restrictions in a timely manner or at all, we may face risks related to contract violations and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, any regional deterioration in economic environments where we operate subjects our business to various risks that may have a material impact on our operating results and future prospects. For example, the international trade dispute between the People’s Republic of China and the United States and the increase in tariffs that the two countries imposed on each other’s imports have contributed to increased market volatility, weakened business and consumer confidence, and diminished expectations for economic growth around the world. We believe the adverse impact on sellers, cross-border e-commerce, logistics companies and overseas warehouses are most prominent if products sold belonged to the tariff lines, further leading to massive growth in tax costs in relation to importing or exporting products. Any trade barriers, legal measures and exchange rate fluctuations may severely affect cross-border business activities or integrated supply chain solution providers that are highly sensitive to price changes. In a deteriorated economic environment, some of our customers may face difficulties in paying us, and some may go out of business. We may not be able to promptly adjust our expenses in response to changing market demands and it may be more difficult to match our staffing levels to our business needs.
We face risks associated with the OTC pharmaceutical inventories handled through our logistics networks, including real or perceived quality or health issues with the products that are handled through our logistics networks, and risks inherent in the logistics industry, including personal injury, product damage, and transportation-related incidents.
We handle a large volume of parcels of OTC pharmaceutical products, which may be delayed, stolen, damaged or lost during delivery for various reasons, and we may be perceived or found liable for such incidents. The delivery of parcels also involves inherent risks. Any of the foregoing could disrupt our services, cause us to incur substantial expenses and divert the time and attention of our management. We may face claims and incur significant liabilities if found liable or partially liable for any injuries, damages, or losses. Claims against us may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may not be covered by insurance at all. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could negatively influence our business and financial condition. Governmental authorities may also impose significant fines on us or require us to adopt costly preventive measures. Furthermore, if our services are perceived to be insecure or unsafe by our customers, our business volume may be significantly reduced, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
8
We must successfully manage our inventory to reflect customer demand and anticipate changing preferences and trends, or our revenue and profitability could be materially and adversely affected.
The success of our business in part depends upon our ability to successfully manage our inventory and to anticipate and respond to merchandise trends and customer demands in a timely manner. We cannot always accurately predict customer preferences, and they may change over time. In our Procurement and Distribution division, we need to order certain types of products in advance. The extended lead times for some of our purchases may make it difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing customer trends and price shifting and to maintain an optimal selection of merchandise available for sale at all times. If we misjudge any of the market for our merchandise, our customers’ product preferences or our customers’ purchase behaviors, our revenue may decline, and we may not have sufficient quantities of merchandise to satisfy customer demand, or we may be required to mark down excess inventory, either of which would result in lower revenue and profit.
Our strategies and expansion plans related to our Supply Chain Services division may require a significant amount of capital, and the actual capital requirements may be different from what we anticipate. We may seek equity or debt financing to finance all or a portion of such capital expenditures. If we cannot obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition, and prospects will not be materially adversely affected.
In order to carry out our business strategies as well as market and network expansion plans related to our supply chain services, we may require significant capital to, among other things, rent, purchase and maintain our logistics facilities and infrastructure, including warehouses, software systems and equipment. We expect that our level of capital expenditures will be significantly affected by customer demand for our services as well as the prevailing prices of the certain equipment and infrastructure. We may seek equity or debt financing to finance all or some of our capital expenditures. Such financing might not be available to us in a timely manner or on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Our ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our strategies and expansion plans is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business plans. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms, and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay, or cancel our planned activities. We might not be able to obtain any funding or service any of the debts we incurred, and we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, either of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations. In addition, our future capital needs could require us to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The issuance of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute our existing shareholders.
Failure to successfully implement our business strategy, effectively respond to changes in market dynamics and satisfactorily meet customer demands may cause our future financial results to suffer.
We are making significant investments and other decisions in connection with our long-term business strategy including increasing our OTC pharmaceutical inventory, expanding the breadth and depth of our services, and improving supply chain services related technologies. Such initiatives and enhancements may require us to make significant capital expenditures. Additionally, in developing our business strategy, we make certain assumptions including, but not limited to, those related to customer demand and preferences, competition landscape and the economy in Hong Kong, Mainland China and globally. However, the actual markets we compete in, and economic and other conditions may be different from our assumptions. As technology, customer behavior, and market conditions continue to evolve, it is important that we maintain the relevance of our brand and service offerings to our customers. If we are not able to successfully implement our business strategies and effectively respond to changes in market dynamics, our future financial results will suffer. We have also incurred, and may continue to incur, increased operating expenses in connection with certain changes to our business strategies.
In addition, we make planning and spending decisions, including capacity expansion, procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements based on our estimate of customer demand. In particular, we may experience capacity and resource shortages in fulfilling customer orders during peak demand of e-commerce consumption of OTC pharmaceutical products or following special promotional campaigns on any e-commerce platforms. Failure to meet customer demand in a timely fashion or at all will adversely affect our competitive position, financial condition, and results of operations.

Any disruption to the operation of our warehousing and logistics facilities, or to the development of new warehousing and logistics facilities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have leased warehousing space in Hong Kong under three lease contracts. For detailed information, please see “Business — Facilities” on page 50. Natural disasters or other unanticipated catastrophic events, including power interruptions, water shortage, storms, fires, environmental pollutions, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and wars, as well as changes in governmental planning for the land underlying these facilities, could destroy any inventory located in these facilities and significantly impair our business operations. We may not be able to identify suitable replacement warehousing and logistics facilities that meet our requirements in a timely manner, should any of the foregoing occur.
Our suppliers include OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors, logistics service subcontractors, packaging service providers, etc., and any loss of our suppliers or if our suppliers fail to deliver products or services according to schedules, prices, quality and volumes that are acceptable to us, our operation may suffer.
Currently, our suppliers are divided into four categories: (i) OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors; (ii) logistics subcontractors; (iii) labor service providers; and (iv) packaging suppliers. The OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors suppliers represent the largest category of suppliers based on the cost of our suppliers. For the year ended March 31, 2025, one supplier made up more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for 13.7%. For the year ended March 31, 2026, two suppliers made up more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for 41.08% in total.
Much of the OTC pharmaceutical products that we procure are manufactured in whole or in substantial part outside of Hong Kong. In most cases, the products or merchandise are imported by us. As a result, significant changes in tax or trade policies, tariffs or trade relations between Hong Kong and other countries, such as the imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported products, could result in significant increases in our costs, restrict our access to suppliers, depress economic activity, and have a material adverse effect on our businesses, operating results, and cash flows. In addition, other countries may change their business and trade policies and such changes, as well as any negative sentiments towards Hong Kong, could adversely affect our businesses.
Our suppliers are independent entities subject to their own operational and financial risks that are outside our control. If our current product suppliers were to stop selling OTC pharmaceutical products to us or delay delivery, including as a result of supply shortages, supplier production disruptions, supplier quality issues, closing or bankruptcies of our suppliers, or for other reasons, we may be unable to procure alternative merchandise from other suppliers in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all.
Additionally, we engage independent third parties to supplement some aspects of our operations such as transportation and customs clearance within Mainland China, to form our integrated logistics service offerings. We believe the market for third-party transportation services in Hong Kong and Mainland China is fragmented with a large number of service providers, and it can be difficult to find reliable partners whose performance and reliability meet our standards at the scale our operations require. Our ability to secure sufficient transportation or delivery services to meet our commitments to customers or provide our services on competitive terms is subject to inherent risks, many of which are beyond our control, including: (i) interruptions or stoppages in transportation services as a result of labor disputes, strikes, network congestion, weather-related issues, wars, or acts of terrorism; (ii) changes in regulations that have adverse impact on transportation; (iii) increases in operating expenses for carriers, such as fuel costs, insurance premiums and licensing expenses, that result in a reduction in available carriers; and (iv) changes in transportation rates. In addition, we may also be exposed to legal risks and subject to certain liabilities, including administrative fines, if those third parties fail to obtain all necessary licenses and permits as required while conducting business on our behalf.
10
We generally enter into supply contracts with our suppliers for the supply of (i) OTC pharmaceutical merchandise; (ii) logistics services such as customs clearance and delivery services within Mainland China; (iii) workers who provide merchandise sorting and packaging services; and (iv) packaging materials. A typical supplier agreement lasts for six months to one year for an initial term or does not contain a fixed expiration date. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement upon notifying the other party in advance. In terms of OTC pharmaceutical merchandise procurement, we further place purchase orders within the framework of supply contracts, which detail specifics such as quantities, product specifications, pricing and delivery schedules. We generally include confidential clauses that oblige our suppliers to keep our business information confidential. A termination or modification to any of these relationships could adversely affect our supply and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We constantly adjust our supplier pool to optimize our procurement cost. We cannot assure you that our relationship with our suppliers will continue to be as stable, or that we will be able to establish new or extend current supplier relationships to ensure a steady supply in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
Our insurance coverage may not be adequate, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruptions.
We have obtained insurance to cover certain potential risks and liabilities. We provide employee compensation insurance and medical insurance to our employees in accordance with regulations in Hong Kong. In addition, we also have purchased public liability and property all risks insurance covering our leased properties. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage is sufficient to prevent us from any loss or that we will be able to successfully claim our losses under our current insurance policies on a timely basis, or at all. If we incur any loss that is not covered by our insurance policies, or the compensated amount is significantly less than our actual loss, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, many of which are highly complex, we could be subject to significant adverse regulatory actions, including monetary penalties, or suffer brand and reputational harm.
Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation and oversight by Hong Kong, Mainland Chinese, and international governmental authorities. The laws and regulations governing our operations and interpretations of those laws and regulations, including those related to human capital and climate change, are increasing in number and complexity, change frequently and can be inconsistent or conflict with one another. In general, these laws and regulations are designed to benefit and protect consumers rather than us. In addition, the governmental authorities that regulate our businesses have broad latitude to make, interpret and enforce the laws and regulations that govern us and continue to interpret and enforce those laws and regulations more strictly and more aggressively each year.
By way of example, our business and operations are subjected to the following laws and regulations in Hong Kong:
| ● | Import and Export Ordinance (Chapter 60 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance (Chapter 138 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Chinese Medicine Ordinance (Chapter 549 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Antibiotics Ordinance (Chapter 137 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Pesticides Ordinance (Chapter 133 of the Laws of the Hong Kong) |
| ● | Food Safety Ordinance (Chapter 612 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation (Chapter 354C of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Employment Ordinance (Chapter 57 of the laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
11
| ● | Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Chapter 509 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Occupiers Liability Ordinance (Chapter 314 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
| ● | Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong) |
In addition to being subject to extensive and complex regulations, many of our contracts with customers include detailed requirements. In order to be eligible to offer certain products or bid on certain contracts, we must demonstrate that we have robust systems and processes in place that are designed to maintain compliance with all applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements. These systems and processes frequently are reviewed and audited by our customers and regulators. If our systems and processes designed to maintain compliance with applicable legal and contractual requirements, and to prevent and detect instances of, or the potential for, non-compliance fail or are deemed inadequate, we may suffer brand and reputational harm and be subject to regulatory actions, litigation and other proceedings which may result in damages, fines, suspension or loss of licensure, suspension or exclusion from participation in government programs and/or other penalties, any of which could adversely affect our businesses, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition.
Failure to obtain certain filings, approvals, licenses, permits and certificates required for our business operations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In accordance with relevant laws and regulations in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and overseas, we are required to maintain various approvals, licenses, permits and filings to operate our business, including but not limited to licenses and permits related to enlisting, warehousing, customs clearance, import and export, and waste disposal. The obtaining of these approvals, licenses, permits and filings are subject to satisfactory compliance with, among other things, licensing conditions and the applicable laws and regulations. Such licenses are valid for specified periods and subject to renewal upon expiration. Although we currently possess the required licenses and are not aware of any legal impediment to renewing the licenses, any failure to renew such licenses may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We regard our trademarks, copyrights, domain names, know-how, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property (which we have ownership or legal rights to use) as critical to our success, and we rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements, including confidentiality, invention assignment and non-compete arrangements with our employees and others, to protect our proprietary rights. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages. Further, because of the rapid pace of technological change in our industry, parts of our business rely on technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties on reasonable terms, or at all.
We may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or to enforce our contractual rights in Hong Kong or in Mainland China. Policing any unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly and the steps we take may be inadequate to prevent the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managerial and financial resources and could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or narrowed in scope. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in such litigation, and even if we do prevail, we may not obtain a meaningful recovery. In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. Any failure in maintaining, protecting, or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
12
We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, there may be other third-party intellectual property that is infringed by our solutions or services, the solutions or services provided by third-party merchants on our marketplace, or other aspects of our business. There could also be existing patents of which we are not aware that our solutions or services may inadvertently infringe. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. In addition, we may incur significant expenses, and may be forced to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these third-party infringement claims, regardless of their merits. Successful infringement or licensing claims made against us may result in significant monetary liabilities and may materially disrupt our business and operations by restricting or prohibiting our use of the intellectual property in question.
The failure or disruption of our information technology systems or the failure of our information technology infrastructure to support our businesses could adversely affect our reputation, business, operating results, and cash flows.
Our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches (including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches), cyber-attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events, and human error. If our information systems are damaged, fail to work properly or otherwise become unavailable, we may incur substantial costs to repair or replace them, and may experience reputational damage, loss of critical information, customer disruption and interruptions or delays in our ability to perform essential functions and implement new and innovative services. We sometimes use third-party vendors to set-up, service, and/or maintain portions of our information technology systems, and our vendors may suffer the same types of issues, which could adversely affect our ability to access and use such systems and the data contained therein, which could result in similar harm. In addition, our efforts to comply with changes in relevant laws and regulations, including privacy and information security laws and standards, may cause us to incur significant expense due to increased investment in technology and the development of new operational processes.
Many aspects of our operations are dependent on our information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. We rely heavily on our computer systems to manage our ordering, product fulfillment, inventory replenishment, finance, human resources, and other processes. Throughout our operations, we collect, process, maintain, retain, evaluate, utilize, and distribute large amounts of confidential and sensitive data and information. For these operations, we depend in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks.
In addition, information technology and other technology and process improvement projects, frequently are long-term in nature and may take longer to complete and cost more than we expect and may not deliver the benefits we project once they are complete. If we do not effectively and efficiently secure, manage, integrate, and enhance our technology portfolio, we could, among other things, have problems meeting the needs of customers and expanding our consumer-oriented products and services or keeping pace with industry and regulatory standards, and our operating results may be adversely affected.
If we fail to keep up with the technological developments and implementation of advanced technologies, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
We apply technology to serve our clients more efficiently and bring them better user experience. Our success will in part depend on our ability to keep up with the changes in technology and the continued successful implementation of advanced technology, including 5G, cloud computing, distributed architecture, and big data analytics. If we fail to adapt our platform and services to changes in technological development in an effective and timely manner, our business operations may suffer. Changes in technologies may require substantial expenditure on research and development as well as in modification of our services. Technical hurdles in implementing technological advances may result in our services becoming less attractive to clients, which, in turn, may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
13
Data governance failures can adversely affect our reputation, businesses, and prospects. Our use and disclosure of customers’ sensitive information is subject to complex regulations at multiple levels. We would be adversely affected if we or our business associates or other vendors fail to adequately protect customers’ or other sensitive information.
Our information systems are critical to the operation of our businesses. We collect, process, maintain, retain, evaluate, utilize, and distribute large amounts information (including payment card information) and other confidential and sensitive data about our customers, employees, and other constituents in the ordinary course of our businesses. Some of our information systems rely upon third party systems, including cloud service providers, to accomplish these tasks. The use and disclosure of such information is regulated at the local and international levels. In some cases, such laws, rules, and regulations also apply to our vendors and/or may hold us liable for any violations by our vendors. These laws, rules and regulations are subject to change (and many are rapidly evolving) and in recent years have given rise to increased enforcement activity, litigation, and other disputes. International laws, rules and regulations governing the use and disclosure of these types of information could be more stringent than data privacy laws and regulations in Hong Kong, and they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Noncompliance with applicable privacy or security laws or regulations, or any security breach, information security incident, and any other incident involving the theft, misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, sensitive or confidential customer, or other constituent information, whether by us, by one of our business associates or vendors or by another third party, could require us to expend significant resources to remediate any damage, could interrupt our operations and could adversely affect our brand and reputation, membership and operating results and also could expose and/or has exposed us to mandatory disclosure requirements, adverse media attention, litigation, governmental investigations and enforcement proceedings, material fines, penalties and/or remediation costs, and compensatory, special, punitive and statutory damages, consent orders, adverse actions against our licenses to do business and/or injunctive relief, any of which could adversely affect our businesses, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.
The Company has engaged in transactions with related parties, and such transactions present possible conflicts of interest that could have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
We have engaged in transactions with our directors, officers and principal shareholders. See “Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 71. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with these transactions were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions. In addition, we may enter into additional transactions in the future in which any of our directors, officers or principal shareholders, or any members of their immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest. Such transactions present potential for conflicts of interest, as the interests of these entities and their shareholders may not align with the interests of the Company and its unaffiliated shareholders with respect to the negotiation of, and certain other matters related to, the transactions with such entities. Conflicts of interest may also arise in connection with the exercise of contractual remedies under these transactions, such as for events of default.
We rely on the laws of the Cayman Islands, which provide that the directors owe a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to our company. Under Cayman Islands law, our directors have a duty to act honestly, in good faith, and view our best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence, and skills that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Nevertheless, we may have achieved more favorable terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related parties.
We have incurred indebtedness and may incur other debt in the future, which may adversely affect our financial condition and future financial results.
We have obtained short-term and long-term loans from financial institutions. For example, in January 2021, we obtained a long-term loan from the Bank of China (Hong Kong) in the principal amount of HK$2,043,600 (approximately US$261,330), payable per month in 60 instalments till February 4, 2026, with a variable annual interest rate equal to 2.5% below the HK Dollars Prime Rate quoted by The HK Mortgage Corporation Limited. Additionally, in August 2023, we obtained another long-term loan from the Bank of China (Hong Kong) in the principal amount of HK$6,956,400 (approximately US$888,895), payable in 108 monthly installments commencing 13 months after the date of drawdown, with a variable annual interest rate equal to 2.5% below the HK Dollars Prime Rate. In April 2023, we obtained a HK$3,000,000 (approximately US$383,342) long-term loan from Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, payable in 48 monthly instalments, with a fixed monthly interest rate of 0.33%. Our existing debts, and any debt which may be incurred in the future, may adversely affect our financial condition and future financial results by, among other things:
| ● | increasing our vulnerability to downturns in our business, to competitive pressures and to adverse economic and industry conditions; |
14
| ● | requiring the dedication of a portion of our expected cash from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of expected cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures; and |
| ● | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and our industries. |
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt, we may be required, among other things, to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets, refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness, sell selected assets or reduce or delay planned capital, operating or investment expenditures. Such measures may not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt.
Our business depends on the continued efforts of our senior management. If any of our key executives and employees was unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business may be severely disrupted.
Our business operations depend on the continuing services of our senior management, particularly Mr. Chenyu Liang, our director and chief executive officer, Mr. Lap Sun Wong, our director, and other executive officers named in this Annual Report. We cannot assure you that we can continue to retain their services. If one or more of our key executives were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, our future growth may be constrained, our business may be severely disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel. In addition, there is no assurance that any member of our management team will not join our competitors or form a competing business. Moreover, it is possible that our key employees, upon their departure, will join our competitors or start their own competing businesses, and may solicit certain of our current customers, which may adversely affect our business, financial results, and daily operations.
The failure of our business divisions to effectively synchronize could prevent us from maximizing our operating results.
To maximize our overall enterprise value, our two main divisions, namely (1) Supply Chain Services division and (2) Procurement and Distribution division, need to collaborate effectively. Our businesses need to be aligned in order to prioritize goals and coordinate the design of new products intended to utilize the offerings of multiple businesses. In addition, misaligned incentives, ineffective product development and failure of our corporate governance policies or procedures, for example, significant financial decisions being made at an inappropriate level in our organization, also could prevent us from maximizing our operating results and/or achieving our financial and other projections.
Negative public perception of the OTC pharmaceutical industry can adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and prospects.
Our brand and reputation are two of our most important assets, and the industries in which we operate have been negatively perceived by the public from time to time. Negative publicity may come as a result of adverse media coverage, litigation against us and other industry participants, the ongoing public debates over drug regulations, governmental hearings and/or investigations, actual or perceived shortfalls regarding our industries’ or our own products and/or business practices, and social media and other media relations activities. Negative publicity also may come from a failure to meet customer expectations. This risk may increase as we continue to offer products and services that make greater use of data.
Negative public perception and/or publicity of our industries in general, or of us or our key vendors or product distribution networks in particular, can further increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our operating results. All of which can adversely affect our brand and reputation, adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products and/or services and/or retain our existing customers, require us to change our products and/or services, reduce or restrict the revenue we can receive for our products and/or services, and/or increase or significantly change the regulatory and legislative requirements with which we must comply.

We may pursue acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and other inorganic growth opportunities, as well as strategic divestitures, which may be unsuccessful, cause us to assume unanticipated liabilities, disrupt our existing businesses, be dilutive or lead us to assume significant debt, among other things.
As our business grows, we may pursue acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and other inorganic growth opportunities as part of our growth strategy, which may involve the following risks:
| ● | we may not be able to obtain the required regulatory approval for an acquisition in a timely manner, if at all; |
| ● | the acquired, alliance and/or joint venture businesses may not perform as projected; |
| ● | the goodwill or other intangible assets established as a result of our acquisitions may be incorrectly valued or may become impaired; |
| ● | we may assume unanticipated liabilities, including those that were not disclosed to us or which we underestimated; |
| ● | the acquired businesses, or the pursuit of other inorganic growth strategies, could disrupt or compete with our existing businesses, distract management, result in the loss of key employees, business partners, suppliers and customers, divert resources, result in tax costs or inefficiencies and make it difficult to maintain our current business standards, controls, information technology systems, policies, procedures and performance; |
| ● | we may finance future acquisitions and other inorganic growth strategies by issuing Class A Ordinary Shares for some or all of the purchase price, which would dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders; |
| ● | we may incur significant debt in connection with acquisitions (whether to finance acquisitions or by assuming debt from the businesses we acquire); |
| ● | a proposed or pending transaction may have a negative effect on our credit ratings; |
| ● | we may not have the expertise to manage and profitably grow the businesses we acquire, and we may need to rely on the retention of key personnel and other suppliers of businesses we acquire, which may be difficult or impossible to accomplish; |
| ● | in order to complete an acquisition, we may be required to divest certain portions of our business, for which we may not be able to obtain favorable pricing; |
| ● | we may be involved in litigation related to mergers or acquisitions, including for matters that occurred prior to the applicable closing, which may be costly to defend and may result in adverse rulings against us that could be material; |
| ● | announcements related to an acquisition could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and other securities; and |
| ● | the integration into our businesses of the businesses and entities we acquire may affect the way in which existing laws and regulations apply to us, including subjecting us to laws and regulations that did not previously apply to us. |
Similarly, we may also seek to divest assets that no longer fit into our long-term strategic plan. In addition, joint ventures present risks that are different from acquisitions, including selection of appropriate joint venture parties, initial and ongoing governance of the joint venture, joint venture compliance activities, growing the joint venture’s business in a manner acceptable to all the parties, including other providers in the networks that include joint ventures, maintaining positive relationships among the joint venture parties and the joint venture’s customers, and business disruption that may occur upon joint venture termination.

Cellyan Biotechnology relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its HK Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements Cellyan Biotechnology may have, and any limitation on the ability of its HK Subsidiaries to make payments to Cellyan Biotechnology could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, while currently there are no restrictions on foreign exchange, nor limitations on the ability of Cellyan Biotechnology to transfer cash to or from HK Subsidiaries or to investors under Hong Kong laws, if certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to our HK Subsidiaries, to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or with a Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on HK Subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds or assets by the PRC government.
Cellyan Biotechnology is a holding company, and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our HK Subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If any of our HK Subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Subject to the Companies Act and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following payment of the dividend we will be able to pay our debts as they become due. Any dividend shall be paid out of profits and/or out of the credit standing in the share premium account. There is otherwise no further Cayman Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend.
Under Hong Kong laws, dividends could only be paid out of distributable profits (that is, accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses) or other distributable reserves. Dividends cannot be paid out of share capital. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us.
Currently, there are no restrictions on foreign exchange, nor limitations on the ability of Cellyan Biotechnology to transfer cash to or from HK Subsidiaries or to investors under Hong Kong laws. In addition, currently, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong on the conversion of HK dollars into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong, nor is there any restriction on foreign exchange for cash transfers between Cellyan Biotechnology and any of the HK Subsidiaries, across borders or to U.S investors. Further, currently, there are no restrictions or limitations on distributing earnings from HK Subsidiaries to Cellyan Biotechnology or U.S. investors. However, if certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to our HK Subsidiaries, to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or with a Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on HK Subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds or assets by the PRC government. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on HK Subsidiaries regarding the transfer or distribution of cash within the organization or to U.S. investors, which could result in an inability of or prohibition on HK Subsidiaries from making transfers or distributions to Cellyan Biotechnology or U.S. investors.
Any limitation on the ability of our HK Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
17
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could adversely affect our business and price of our securities.
We have limited accounting personnel and other resources to address our internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm had not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended and as of March 31, 2024 and 2025, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified the following “material weaknesses” in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, and other control deficiencies. 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 or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified are related to: 1) lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of IFRS and SEC reporting requirements to properly address certain accounting issues, and prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements as well as; 2) the lack in formal accounting and policies and procedures and manual to ensure proper financial reporting in accordance with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements; and 3) for certain related party transactions, there were no proper approving procedure and related documentation in place.
In response to the material weaknesses identified, we are in the process of implementing a number of measures to address including but not limited to 1) hire additional finance and accounting staff with qualifications and work experiences in IFRS and SEC reporting requirements to formalize and strengthen the key internal control over financial reporting; 2) formulate an internal-control manual and accounting manual tailored to its day-to-day business activities, and conduct timely revisions in response to subsequent business-related changes; and 3) Set up and implement proper policies and procedures for audit committee to approve related party transactions.
We have taken steps to address the material weaknesses and continue to implement our remediation plan, which we believe will address their underlying causes. Although we have made enhancements to our control procedures in this area, there could be other internal control weaknesses that have not been discovered. Additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If we identify such issues or if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our Class A Ordinary Share price may decline and we may be unable to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
We are exposed to foreign currency risk.
While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, substantially all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in HK$. Substantially all of our assets are denominated in HK$. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the HK$. If the HK$ depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our HK$ revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of equity. As of March 31, 2026, our accumulated other comprehensive loss was $10,819. Compared to 2025, we have reduced foreign exchange risks and costs.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong
Substantially all our operations are in Hong Kong. However, the legal and operational risks associated with operations in China may also apply to our operations in Hong Kong. The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and control over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government may also be quick and the risks related to the PRC legal and regulatory system may materialize.
Cellyan Biotechnology is a holding company and conducts its operation through our operating subsidiaries, HK Subsidiaries, in Hong Kong. Our operations are conducted in Hong Kong and a majority of our clients are located in Mainland China. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are not materially affected by recent statements by the Chinese Government indicating an extent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers. However, the legal and operational risks associated with operations in China also apply to our operations in Hong Kong, should recent statements and regulatory actions by the Chinese government apply to us in the future. Due to long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of laws in China. The PRC government may choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government to which we are subject may change rapidly. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of new and existing laws and regulations in the PRC and the risks related to the PRC legal and regulatory system may materialize. In addition, such laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in the PRC may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:
| ● | delay or impede our development; |
| ● | result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs; |
| ● | require significant management time and attention; and |
| ● | subject us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices. |
We are aware that recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions were recent, it is highly uncertain what additional new laws and regulations will be promulgated and what impacts the modified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or another foreign exchange.
The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. For example, there is currently no restriction or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the transfer of currencies out of Hong Kong and the laws and regulations of the PRC on currency conversion control currently do not have any material impact on the transfer of cash between Cellyan Biotechnology and any of our HK Subsidiaries in Hong Kong. However, the PRC government may, in the future, impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to move money out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends to and from the other entities within our organization or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Such restrictions and limitations, if imposed in the future, may delay or hinder the expansion of our business outside of Hong Kong and may affect our ability to receive funds from Cellyan Biotechnology in Hong Kong. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case, that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact our ability to conduct our business could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance; decrease demand for our products and services; reduce revenues; increase costs; require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals, or certificates; or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are implemented, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected, and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares could decrease or become worthless.

The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding the Hong Kong National Security Law could impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiaries.
On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”). This law defines the duties and government bodies of the Hong Kong National Security Law for safeguarding national security and four categories of offenses — secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security — and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (“HKAA”) into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. On August 7, 2020, the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions on 11 individuals, including then-HKSAR chief executive Carrie Lam and John Lee, who later replaced Carrie Lam as chief executive on July 1, 2022.
In July 2021, President Biden warned investors about the risks of doing business in Hong Kong, issuing an advisory saying China’s push to exert more control over Hong Kong threatens the rule of law and endangers employees and data. The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect the foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial institution that are targeted. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and HKAA on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong Kong. If we and our HK Subsidiaries are determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, our business operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Changes in Hong Kong and China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operations.
Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Hong Kong and China generally and by continued economic growth in Hong Kong and China as a whole. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the fact that it:
| ● | has a high level of government involvement; |
| ● | is in the early stages of development of a market-oriented economy; |
| ● | has experienced rapid growth; and |
| ● | has a tightly controlled foreign exchange policy. |
While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and has slowed recently. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us.
Economic conditions in Hong Kong and China are sensitive to global economic conditions. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may affect the market for our products and services and have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.
Any adverse economic, social, and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance, or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may adversely affect the business operations of the Company.
The Hong Kong protests that began in 2019 were triggered by the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill by the Hong Kong government. If enacted, the bill would have allowed the extradition of criminal fugitives who are wanted in territories with which Hong Kong does not currently have extradition agreements, including Mainland China. This led to concerns that the bill would subject Hong Kong residents and visitors to the jurisdiction and legal system of Mainland China, thereby undermining the region’s autonomy and people’s civil liberties. Various sectors of the Hong Kong economy had been adversely affected as the protests turned violent. Most notably, during the protest period, the airline, retail and real estate sectors had seen their sales decline.
20
Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. Based on certain recent development, including the Hong Kong National Security Law issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China and, at the time, President Donald Trump signed an executive order and HKAA to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from Mainland China. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the United States, China, and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.
Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any of such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions taken by either China or the U.S. in respect to their relations could lead to investor uncertainty, which may impact affected issuers, including us, as well as the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and acts passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to U.S.-listed companies with significant operations in China and Hong Kong. These developments could add uncertainties to our business operations, share price and reputation.
U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered on financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud.
On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the HFCA Act requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. In addition, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national exchange. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the HFCA Act and it was signed into law on December 18, 2020.
On May 21, 2021, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in a “Restrictive Market”, (ii) prohibit Restrictive Market companies from directly listing on Nasdaq Capital Market, and only permit them to list on Nasdaq Global Select or Nasdaq Global Market in connection with a direct listing and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditors.
On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCA Act”), which, if enacted, would amend the HFCA Act and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its audit work cannot be inspected when its auditor is subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three and, thus, would reduce the time before the Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted. On December 23, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading.
21
On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate (“Commission-Identified Issuers”). The final amendments require Commission-Identified Issuers to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that, if true, it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the public accounting firm’s foreign jurisdiction. The amendments also require that a Commission-Identified Issuer that is a “foreign issuer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 3b-4, provide certain additional disclosures in its annual report for itself and any of its consolidated foreign operating entities. A Commission-Identified Issuer will be required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified.
On December 16, 2021, pursuant to the HFCA Act, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in the PRC and Hong Kong, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in such jurisdictions. Such determinations were vacated by the PCAOB on December 15, 2022.
Our current registered public accounting firm, Onestop Assurance PAC, is not headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong, is a Singapore-based accounting firm that is registered with the PCAOB and can be inspected by the PCAOB, and was not listed in the Determination Report. We have no current intention of engaging any auditor not subject to regular inspection by the PCAOB.
On August 26, 2022, CSRC, the MOF, and the PCAOB signed a Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. The Protocol remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB made a statement announcing that it was able, in 2022, to inspect and investigate completely issuer audit engagements of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in China and Hong Kong.
Uncertainties still exist as to whether the PCAOB will have continued access for complete inspections and investigations in 2025 and beyond. The PCAOB is expected to continue to demand complete access to inspections and investigations against accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong in the future and stated that it had already made plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Our securities may be prohibited from trading if our auditor cannot be fully inspected. While the Company’s auditor is based in Singapore and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company’s auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such inability could cause trading in the Company’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCA Act, as amended, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist the Company’s securities. A termination of the trading of our securities or any restriction on the trading in our securities would have a negative impact on the Company as well as on the value of our securities.
The market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected as a result of anticipated negative impacts of these executive or legislative actions, regardless of whether these executive or legislative actions are implemented and regardless of our actual operating performance.
22
PRC regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may subject us or PRC resident beneficial owners to liability or penalties, limit our ability to conduct business in the PRC or may otherwise adversely affect us.
On July 4, 2014, SAFE issued the Circular on Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control over the Overseas Investment and Financing and Round-trip Investment by Domestic Residents via Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37. According to SAFE Circular 37, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents, (including PRC individuals and PRC corporate entities as well as foreign individuals that are deemed as PRC residents for foreign exchange administration purpose), in connection with their direct or indirect contribution of domestic assets or interests to offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs. SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendments to the SAFE registrations in the event of any changes with respect to the basic information of the offshore SPV, such as change of a PRC individual shareholder, name, and operation term, or any significant changes with respect to the offshore SPV, such as an increase or decrease of capital contribution, share transfer or exchange, or mergers or divisions. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to beneficial owners of our Class A and Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares who are PRC residents. In February 2015, SAFE promulgated a Circular on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Circular 13, effective in June 2015. Under SAFE Circular 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37, will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE. Beneficial owners may be subject to a fine up to RMB50,000 (approximately $7,150) by SAFE for the failure to complete the required registration.
In addition, we may not be informed of the identities of all the PRC residents holding direct or indirect interest in our company, and we have no control over any of our future beneficial owners. Thus, we cannot provide any assurance that our current or future PRC resident beneficial owners will always comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or continuously comply with all registration procedures set forth in these SAFE regulations. Such failure or inability of our PRC resident beneficial owners to comply with these SAFE regulations may subject us or our PRC resident beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions, or restrict our cross-border business activities, as a result of which our business operations and our ability to distribute profits to you could be materially and adversely affected.
The Hong Kong and China legal systems are evolving and embody uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to us. Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us.
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Following British colonial rule from 1842 to 1997, China assumed sovereignty under the “one country, two systems” principle. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s constitutional document, the Basic Law, ensures that the current political situation will remain in effect for 50 years. Hong Kong has enjoyed the freedom to function in a high degree of autonomy for its affairs, including currencies, immigration and custom, independent judiciary system and parliamentary system. On July 14, 2020, the United States signed an executive order to end the special status enjoyed by Hong Kong post-1997. As the autonomy currently enjoyed were compromised, it could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operation. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our clients.
23
By contrast, China’s legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which prior court decisions have limited value as precedents. Since 1979, the PRC government has promulgated laws and regulations governing economic matters in general, such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system. As a result, recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these newer laws and regulations involve greater uncertainties than those in jurisdictions available to you. In addition, China’s legal system is based in part on government policies and administrative rules, and many have retroactive effects. Since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. As a result, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in China’s legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws. We may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties could adversely affect our business that relates to China or PRC citizens.
We may be treated as a non-resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject to income tax on our income from PRC entities.
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, a foreign enterprise which has no establishment or place in the PRC but derives profit from sources in the PRC will be subject to the enterprise income tax on its PRC income. We believe that our income from PRC residents may not be the profit from sources in the PRC, and thus, we are not a non-resident enterprise subject to PRC income tax for the following reasons: (i) we conduct our operations through our HK Subsidiaries in Hong Kong; (ii) as of the date of this Annual Report, we have no subsidiary, VIE structure, nor any direct operations in the PRC; and (iii) we mainly sell products to PRC entities. However, whether we have income from sources in the PRC is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities. There is uncertainty that with the development of our business, part of our profit might be deemed as profit from sources in the PRC and we might be subject to PRC income tax.
In addition to the uncertainty as to the application of the “non-resident enterprise” classification, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not amend or revise the taxation laws, rules and regulations to impose stricter tax requirements, such as the potential imposition of transaction taxes, or higher tax rates. Any of such changes could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Ownership of our securities
The price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has dipped under $1 in the past which may increase the risk of delisting due to failure to maintain minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq rules.
On January 12, 2026, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares had been below the minimum requirement of US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company was therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, or the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 13, 2026, to regain compliance. On July 14, 2026, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff, or the Staff granting an additional 180 days, or until January 11, 2027, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company is currently evaluating available options to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
24
If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, our Class A Ordinary Shares could be delisted from Nasdaq. A delisting of our Class A Ordinary Shares and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Class A Ordinary Shares, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.
In the event that our Class A Ordinary Shares are delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Class A Ordinary Shares because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.
The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our Class A Ordinary Shares could be considered to be a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such Class A Ordinary Shares and impede their sale in the secondary market.
A U.S. broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.
The market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in losses to our shareholders. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
A reverse split of our Class A Ordinary Shares could decrease our total market capitalization and increase, and may continue to increase, the volatility of our share price.
There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of our Class A Ordinary Shares after the reverse share split will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization before the reverse share split or that the per share market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares following the reverse share split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding before the reverse share split. Furthermore, a decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares after the reverse share split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of a reverse share split, and the liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected following such a reverse share split.
The market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has been volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance.
The market price for the Class A Ordinary Shares has been volatile. The wide fluctuation of our share price could be due to multiple factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
| ● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in the operating results of the Company due to factors related to the Company’s business; |
25
| ● | success or failure of the strategy of the Company; |
| ● | the interim or annual earnings of the Company, or those of other companies in the Company’s industry; |
| ● | the Company’s ability to obtain third-party financing as needed; |
| ● | announcements by us or the Company’s competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions; |
| ● | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; |
| ● | the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies; |
| ● | investor perception of the Company; |
| ● | natural or environmental disasters that investors believe may affect the Company; |
| ● | overall market fluctuations; |
| ● | a large sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares by a significant shareholder; |
| ● | results from any material litigation or government investigation; |
| ● | changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company or any of the principal products and services sold by the Company; and |
| ● | general economic and political conditions and other external factors. |
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Share prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, shareholders have filed securities class litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.
We have experienced stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
Historically, the US stock market has witnessed instances of extreme stock price surges followed by rapid declines for small-cap issuers, and such volatility seemed unrelated to the issuers’ performance subsequent to their initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively small public floats. As a relatively small-capitalized company with a small public float, the share price of the Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to experience extreme volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalized companies. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our small public float may amplify the impact the actions taken by a few shareholders have on the price of Class A Ordinary Shares, which may cause the share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. The potential extreme volatility may confuse public investors regarding the value of the shares, distort the market perception of the share price and our company’s financial performance and public image, and negatively affect the long-term liquidity of the Class A Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance. As a result, investors may have difficulty assessing the rapidly changing value of the Class A Ordinary Shares and our ability to access the capital market may be materially adversely affected. In addition, when the trading volumes of the Class A Ordinary Shares are low, holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares.
26
We may not be able to maintain a listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq.
We must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. If we fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Class A Ordinary Shares may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of the Class A Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell the Class A Ordinary Shares and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Class A Ordinary Shares. The delisting of the Class A Ordinary Shares could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
If securities or industry analysts publish unfavorable research, or do not continue to cover us, the Company’s share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for the Class A Ordinary Shares depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us. We do not have any control over these analysts. If an analyst downgrades the Class A Ordinary Shares or publishes unfavorable research about our business, the price of Class A Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If an analyst ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets and demand for the Class A Ordinary Shares could decrease, which could cause the share price or trading volume to decline.
We have not historically declared or paid dividends on our shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
We have not historically declared or paid dividends on our shares. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth, to develop business, and for general corporate purposes. We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that the Class A Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain their current value.
Any decision to pay dividends in the future will be at the full discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors then existing, including earnings, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, restrictions imposed by applicable law, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
We may issue additional equity or debt securities, which are senior to the Class A Ordinary Shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distributions to our shareholders. In addition, any additional preferred shares, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.
Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Class A Ordinary Shares and diluting your interest in our company.
27
Our largest shareholder, Ms. Liying Wang, through TUTU Business Services Limited, holds a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding share capital, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters.
As of the date of this Annual Report, Ms. Liying Wang, the beneficial owner of 7,150,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company, held approximately 95.63% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital. Therefore, Ms. Liying Wang is able to control all matters requiring approval by shareholders. Ms. Liying Wang’s interests may not be the same as or may even conflict with your interests. For example, she could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such change in control would benefit our other shareholders, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Ordinary Shares as part of a sale of us or our assets, and might affect the prevailing market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares due to investors’ perceptions that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. As a result, Ms. Liying Wang’s majority voting power over our outstanding share capital may not align with the best interests of our other shareholders.
We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and the shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.
We are required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting 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; |
| ● | being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
| ● | being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
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. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result of our election to take advantage of such extended transition period, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior September 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
Because we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, the shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find the Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
28
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. We plan to take advantage of the exemptions available to us as a foreign private issuer.
As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
| ● | the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K; |
| ● | Section 14 of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; |
| ● | Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; |
| ● | the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD; and |
| ● | the rules under the Exchange Act that require U.S. domestic public companies to issue financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP. |
We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. We plan to take advantage of the exemptions available to us as a foreign private issuer. We may publish our results on a quarterly basis as press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC in reports on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow the governance practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. As result, the standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to:
| ● | have a majority of the board be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act); |
| ● | have a compensation committee and a nominating committee to be comprised solely of “independent directors”; or |
| ● | hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of our fiscal year. |
Nasdaq listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, as well as certain Class A Ordinary Share issuances. We are in compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq listing rules to have a majority of the board be independent and to appoint a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised solely of independent directors. We may, however, in the future consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors than they would otherwise enjoy under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
29
We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.
We would lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of our voting securities are directly or indirectly held by residents of the United States and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status on this date, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors, and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq rules. As a U.S.-listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange.
You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.
Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to convene a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide its shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.
The sale of a substantial amount of our Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Cellyan Biotechnology registered for resale of up to 12,499,986 Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-294685), filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026 and declared effective on April 8, 2026. As of the date of this Annual Report, there are 41,349,958 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, including shares issued in the March 2026 Private Placement. Sales of substantial amounts of the Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares. Cellyan Biotechnology cannot predict if and when the Selling Shareholders may sell such Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market. Furthermore, in the future, Cellyan Biotechnology may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares or other equity or debt securities convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.
Certain judgments obtained against us and the Selling Shareholders by Cellyan Biotechnology’s shareholders may not be enforceable.
Cellyan Biotechnology is a Cayman Islands exempted company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all our current operations are conducted in Hong Kong.
30
Our non-independent director, Lap Sun Wong, as well as our independent director Dr. Kam Leung Chan, are nationals or residents of Hong Kong. Chenyu Liang, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, Shu Liu, our Chief Financial Officer, and Zifeng Wang, our Chief Strategy Officer, are nationals or residents of the People’s Republic of China. In addition, our independent directors, Mike Yao Zhou and Jingyan Wu, are nationals or residents of Canada and the U.S., respectively. Additionally, all of the Selling Shareholders are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. All or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or securities laws of any U.S. state. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.
You may incur additional costs and face procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in this Annual Report based on Hong Kong laws.
You may incur additional costs and face procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. To enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment rendered conclusively upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court, as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.
Furthermore, foreign judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong. There are currently no treaties or other arrangements providing for reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments between Hong Kong and the United States. However, the common law of Hong Kong permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. A foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause of action, since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to such action. The defenses that are available to a defendant in a common law action brought on the basis of a foreign judgment include lack of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, fraud, and contrary to public policy. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor. A foreign judgment of the United States predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States may be enforceable in Hong Kong, but will be subject to the conditions with regard to enforcement of such judgments being met, including but not limited to the foregoing requirements.
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because Cellyan Biotechnology was incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
Cellyan Biotechnology is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Its corporate affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association, as amended, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of the shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of the shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed, judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like ours have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Cellyan Biotechnology’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association have provisions that provide our shareholders with the right to inspect the register of members without charge, and to receive the annual audited financial statements of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, our directors have discretion under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
31
As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or our controlling shareholder than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders. See “Description of Share Capital — Differences in Corporate Law.”
Cellyan Biotechnology’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain anti-takeover provisions that could discourage a third party from acquiring us, which could limit Cellyan Biotechnology’s shareholders’ opportunity to sell their shares at a premium.
Cellyan Biotechnology’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain provisions to limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving Cellyan Biotechnology’s shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar transaction. For example, Cellyan Biotechnology’s board of directors has the authority, without further action by its shareholders, to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with the Ordinary Shares. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. If Cellyan Biotechnology’s board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of the Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, Cellyan Biotechnology’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain other provisions that could limit the ability of third parties to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in a transaction resulting in a change of control.
Cayman Islands economic substance requirements may have an effect on our business and operations.
Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (“ES Act”) that came into force on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, but excludes an entity that is a tax resident outside the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, for so long as the Company is a tax resident outside the Cayman Islands, including in Hong Kong, it is not required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act.
There is a risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in the Class A Ordinary Shares.
In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of the above calculations, a non-U.S. corporation that owns at least 25% by value of the shares of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties and certain gains. Cash is a passive asset for these purposes.
Based on the expected composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets, including goodwill, we do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year. However, the proper application of the PFIC rules to a company with a business such as ours is not entirely clear. Because the proper characterization of certain components of our income and assets is not entirely clear, and because our PFIC status for any taxable year will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time (which may be determined, in part, by reference to the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares, which could be volatile), there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year.
If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor holds the Class A Ordinary Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. investor.

We may grant share-based awards in the future, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses and have an adverse effect on our future profitability.
On November 21, 2025, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors adopted the Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the Company reserved up to 1,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, to be used to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company. Such incentive plan was adopted and approved by the shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders held on December 11, 2025 (Eastern Time). In addition, we may adopt additional share incentive plans in the future.
We believe the granting of share-based compensation awards is important to our ability to attract and retain key personnel and employees, and we may grant share-based compensation awards in the future. As a result, we may incur expenses associated with share-based compensation, which may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to attract or retain highly skilled employees may be adversely affected by declines in the perceived value of our equity or equity awards. Furthermore, there are no assurances that the number of shares reserved for issuance under our share incentive plan will be sufficient to grant equity awards adequate to recruit new employees and to compensate existing employees. In case we decide to reserve and issue additional shares under our share incentive plan, your interests in our company will be further diluted by such issuance.
General Risk Factors
Adverse developments in general business and economic conditions as well as conditions in the global capital market could have an adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s products, the business, and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its customers.
The comparatively slower rate of increase in the Chinese gross domestic product (“GDP”) in recent years has adversely affected the Company’s results of operations. If GDP continues to increase at a slow rate or if economic growth declines, demand for the products we sell will be adversely affected. In addition, volatility in the global capital market, which impacts interest rates, currency exchange rates and the availability of credit, could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Company’s customers. Financial difficulties of customers, whether as a result of a downturn in general economic or industry conditions or otherwise, may result in failures of customers to timely pay amounts due or adversely affect the collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. A bankruptcy or liquidity event by one or more of the Company’s customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inclement weather, widespread outbreak of an illness, anti-terrorism measures and other disruptions could negatively affect various aspects of the Company’s business including the Company’s supply chain, distribution system and operations, and could result in reduced demand from the Company’s customers.
The Company’s ability to provide efficient distribution of products to the Company’s customers is an integral component of the Company’s overall business strategy. Disruptions at shipping ports or the closure of roads or imposition of other driving bans due to natural events such as flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes and blizzards may affect the Company’s ability to deliver products to the Company’s customers on a timely basis, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
Additionally, widespread outbreaks of an illness such as a pandemic and actions taken to contain or prevent further spread of such diseases could substantially interfere with general commercial activity related to the Company’s supply chain and customer base, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company’s operations are curtailed, we may need to seek alternate sources of supply which may be more expensive, unavailable or may result in delays in shipments to us from the Company’s supply chain and to the Company’s customers. Further, if the Company’s customers’ businesses are similarly affected, they might delay or reduce purchases from us, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
33
We and our directors and officers may from time to time be subject to claims, controversies, lawsuits and legal proceedings.
We and our directors and officers may from time to time become subject to or involved in various claims, controversies, lawsuits, and legal proceedings. Claims, lawsuits, and litigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and we are uncertain whether the foregoing claim would develop into a lawsuit. Lawsuits and litigations may cause us to incur defense costs, utilize a significant portion of our resources and divert management’s attention from our day-to-day operations, any of which could harm our business. Any settlements or judgments against us could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, negative publicity regarding claims or judgments made against us may damage our reputation and may result in a material adverse impact on us.
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been impacted by geopolitical instability due to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and armed conflicts between Israel and Hamas. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip or any other geopolitical tensions.
Global markets have experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, armed conflicts between Israel and Hamas, regional military conflict between Israel and Iran. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, such conflicts could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, and Iran globally and assessing its potential impact on our business. In addition, sanctions on Russia and hostilities involving Israel could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.
Any of the above-mentioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of the military actions, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this registration statement.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
4.A. History and Development of the Company
Our Corporate History
Cellyan Biotechnology, an exempted company established under the laws of Cayman Islands on August 17, 2023, has three subsidiaries: (i) V-Alliance Technology Supplies Limited, established under the laws of Hong Kong on September 1, 2016, and (ii) Joint Cross Border Logistics Company Limited, previously known as Eternal Profits Limited, and established under the laws of Hong Kong on July 18, 2017.
Pre-IPO Restructuring
Upon Cellyan Biotechnology’s incorporation on August 17, 2023, it had an authorized share capital of $50,000 divided into 50,000,000 ordinary shares of a single class, par value $0.001 per share. Upon incorporation, ten ordinary shares were allotted and issued to the initial subscriber, Ascentium (Cayman) Limited (f.k.a. Harneys Fiduciary (Cayman) Limited), which transferred the single ordinary share to Lap Sun Wong, on the same day.
34
On December 1, 2023, an additional 9,500,990 ordinary shares in total, par value $0.001 each, were allotted and issued to Lap Sun Wong and new shareholders, including among others, 1,710,170 ordinary shares to Lap Sun Wong; 4,448,520 ordinary shares to Fame Overseas Supply Chain Limited; 190,020 ordinary shares to Profit Seeker Limited; 617,850 ordinary shares to Pacific Health Century International Group Limited; and 617,850 ordinary shares to Atlantic Health Century International Group Limited.
On December 7, 2023, LS International Holdings Limited, which was then the sole shareholder of Joint Cross Border, transferred 2,000,000 shares of Joint Cross Border, representing the entire issued and outstanding shares of Joint Cross Border, to Cellyan Biotechnology in consideration of HK$1. Upon completion of the share transfer, Joint Cross Border became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellyan Biotechnology. On December 7, 2023, Lap Sun Wong, which was then the sole shareholder of V-Alliance, transferred 10,000,002 shares of V-Alliance, representing the entire issued and outstanding shares of V-Alliance, to Cellyan Biotechnology in consideration of HK$3,000,000. Upon completion of the share transfer, V-Alliance became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Cellyan Biotechnology.
As a result of the reorganization, Cellyan Biotechnology, our Cayman Islands holding company, became a holding company of Joint Cross Border and V-Alliance, our operating subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the HK Subsidiaries.
On December 15, 2023, Cellyan Biotechnology amended its share capital to secure an $800,000 investment from an investor. As a result of such amendment, our authorized share capital changed to $50,000 divided into 50,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, comprising (i) 49,501,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 each; and (ii) 499,000 Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 each. The 9,501,000 ordinary shares that were previously issued and outstanding were redesignated as 9,501,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. Cellyan Biotechnology issued 499,000 Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares to the new investor in consideration of $800,000 in cash.
On October 24, 2024, Cellyan Biotechnology increased its authorized share capital from $50,000 to $100,000, divided into 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, comprising (i) 99,501,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 each, and (ii) 499,000 Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 each.
On October 24, 2024, Cellyan Biotechnology effected a 1-for-10 forward split of its shares by way of a share subdivision of its issued and unissued shares, with each of its issued and unissued shares subdivided into ten (10) shares. Immediately after the Share Split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Cellyan Biotechnology increased from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares, comprising (i) 9,501,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, par value $0.001 each and (ii) 499,000 Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, par value $0.001 each.
Immediately prior to the completion of our IPO, we redesignated and reclassified each of the then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and each of the then issued and outstanding Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares into a single class of ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, that is each of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into one (1) ordinary share and each of the issued and outstanding Class B Redeemable Ordinary Shares into one (1) ordinary share, with each of such ordinary shares being entitled to one vote per share (collectively, the “Reclassification”). Following the Reclassification, but before giving effect to the IPO, we had 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
IPO
On January 16, 2025, we completed our initial public offering of an aggregate of 1,403,685 ordinary shares of par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a public offering price of US$4.00 per share, of which 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares are offered by Cellyan Biotechnology and 403,685 Ordinary Shares are offered by the selling shareholders of the Company. The Ordinary Shares offered and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282876), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 20, 2025.
On January 15, 2025, the Company has adopted its Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association which became effective immediately prior to the completion of the IPO.
35
Change of Company Name
On December 12, 2025, our shareholders passed a special resolution to approve that the English name of the Company was changed from “Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited” to “Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd,” and the Chinese name of “生研生物公司” was adopted as the dual foreign name of the Company in replacement of its existing Chinese name of “港药数字科技控股有限公司,” with effect from December 19, 2025, the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issued the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name confirming registration of the new name.
Corporate Structure
The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this Annual Report.
On September 30, 2022, Joint Cross Border formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Laishuo Intelligent Supply Chain (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (the “Hangzhou Subsidiary”) in Hangzhou, China under PRC laws. The Hangzhou Subsidiary’s principal business was to provide customer services to a major client, CaiNiao, from a location in close proximity. Subsequently, to reduce operational costs, Joint Cross Border sold the Hangzhou Subsidiary to Yeung Sun Fong (H.K.) Medical Company Limited, an unrelated Hong Kong company, on September 11, 2023.
On March 18, 2026, V-Alliance acquired 100% share ownership of New Ben Global Enterprises Limited (牛犇环球实业有限公司), a company incorporated in Hong Kong from WAN FENG, an individual. On July 15, 2026, V-Alliance disposed New Ben Global Enterprises Limited to WAN FENG, the original shareholder for a consideration of HK$10,000 (approximately US$1,275). New Ben Global Enterprises Limited did not commence any operation and did not generate any revenue from March 2026 to July 2026.

4.B. Business Overview
Overview
Our business offering consists of two main categories: (i) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Joint Cross Border, which we refer to as the “Supply Chain Services” division and (ii) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border procurement and distribution, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, V-Alliance, which we refer to as the “Procurement and Distribution” division. Based in Hong Kong, Joint Cross Border has established itself as a leading provider of third-party supply chain services in Mainland China’s OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce market. Through our engagement with OTC pharmaceutical suppliers, logistics companies, and merchants who operate stores on Chinese e-commerce platforms, Joint Cross Border offers a convenient one-stop solution for Mainland Chinese customers who wish to access cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products. Joint Cross Border’s offering includes a comprehensive array of services, such as pre-consultation, product information review, procuring overseas OTC pharmaceutical products, enlisting OTC pharmaceutical products to the HKDOH, obtaining import and export permits and clearances, storing products at warehouses, packaging, and arranging for logistics and end-to-end delivery services for consumers.
The regulations and policies governing cross-border transportation of OTC pharmaceutical products vary from country to country. We believe that the traditional supply chain is inefficient in navigating the intricate regulatory landscape and thus unable to meet the significant and growing demand for overseas OTC pharmaceuticals by Mainland Chinese consumers. To capture this opportunity, Joint Cross Border offers its clients a suite of supply chain solutions to address the unique needs of handling cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products. We believe our advanced technological capabilities, vast experience in the OTC pharmaceutical supply chain service industry, and e-commerce insights can further entrench our position as an ever more important player in Mainland China’s OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce market. Our main customers are (i) e-commerce platform logistics partners like CaiNiao who hire our supply chain services related to cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products and (ii) merchants on established Chinese e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, Meituan, Pinduoduo, JD.com, Xiaohongshu, and Youzan to offer popular OTC pharmaceutical products sourced from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and certain European countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany. As of the date of this Annual Report, our system has cataloged more than 6,000 SKUs, including around 6,000 HKDOH-enlisted OTC SKUs. The OTC pharmaceutical products we manage or distribute include traditional OTC Chinese medicine manufactured in Hong Kong and outside China and non-Chinese OTC medicine registered in Hong Kong and outside China. While over 90% of the products we deal with are OTC pharmaceutical products on average, our portfolio also includes non-pharmaceutical items such as health supplements.
We have received notable recognitions, including membership in The H.K. Medicine Dealers’ Guild, Pharmaceutical Distributors Association of Hong Kong, and China Medical Pharmaceutical Material Association.
Our Products and Services
Our offering is divided into two main categories, each conducted by one of our HK Subsidiaries: (1) Supply Chain Services and (2) Procurement and Distribution. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we derived $7,557,193, approximately 56.3% of our total revenue, and $12,481,187, approximately 61.4% of our total revenue from our Supply Chain Services division, respectively. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we derived $5,872,130, approximately 43.7% of our total revenue, and $7,826,897, approximately 38.5% of our total revenue from our Procurement and Distribution division, respectively.
37
OTC Pharmaceutical Cross-border E-commerce Supply Chain Services
The diagram below presents a wholistic view of our one-stop supply chain solution, which includes our offered services and the parties involved in the process:
Our import services under this division include (i) engaging our in-house medical professionals to sort out products into different categories, (ii) providing information related to the classification of the OTC pharmaceuticals to customers, and if classified as “western medicine” (meaning non-Chinese medicine) not registered in Hong Kong, submitting related information to the HKDOH for enlisting, (iii) applying for drug import certificates from the HKDOH, and (iv) coordinating with customers, our warehouse team, and other parties regarding invoice, import certificate and subsequent transportation to our warehouses in Hong Kong.
After the products arrive in our warehouses, we offer a range of value-added services to prepare products for final delivery to consumers in Mainland China. Such services include adding specific labels, packaging, extended storage, product inspection, batch processing, photography, counting, disposal, and addition of gift packaging, samples or pamphlets, among others. Our warehouses thereafter process releases from warehouse in our system in accordance with order information from e-commerce logistics companies or online merchant clients. In addition, we also assist with processing export documents, delivering the goods to Hong Kong Customs and Mainland Customs for customs clearance, and ultimately delivering the products to the last mile carrier for express delivery to the end consumers. We outsource some of these services, such as customs clearance and delivery within Mainland China, to third-party business partners.
38
OTC Pharmaceutical Cross-border Procurement and Distribution
In addition to providing supply chain services, by leveraging data and insights obtained from the Supply Chain Services vertical, we also procure overseas OTC pharmaceutical products and sell them to merchants on established Chinese e-commerce platforms as well as pharmaceutical distributors.
Before the commencement of procurement, we ensure the relevant OTC pharmaceutical products have been enlisted with HKDOH.
Our procurement process includes (i) analyzing cross-border OTC pharmaceutical sales and customer orders to determine the types of OTC pharmaceuticals in demand and the delivery times needed, (ii) negotiating with suppliers on pricing and product arrival times, (iii) comparing quotations and lead time from suppliers to finalize purchase products and quantities, (iv) confirming the shipping schedule, deploying in-house medical professionals and our customs clearance team to utilize the Company’s relevant import qualifications to process corresponding import documents, (v) coordinating with freight companies for the products to arrive at the destination port, and (vi) collecting corresponding import data for reporting to relevant government authorities.
Once our procured products are in our warehouses, distribution typically includes (i) executing sales contracts with customers based on customer needs, (ii) confirming availability of the ordered products in our warehouses, and (iii) shipping out the products once our finance department confirms recipient of payment.
We currently keep abreast of new OTC drugs mainly through four channels: (i) distributors outside China, with whom we have established supply partnerships, regularly recommending new drugs to us; (ii) attending professional pharmaceutical conferences or exhibitions, through which we discover new drugs; (iii) drug manufacturers, with whom we have previously transacted, promoting their new products to us; and (iv) data from our Supply Chain Services division.
From September 19, 2023 to September 18, 2024, our subsidiary V-Alliance, as consignor, recognized revenue from the sale of consigned OTC pharmaceutical products under a consignment agreement with certain third-party consignees. No new consignment orders were accepted in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The agreement facilitated liquidity through advances provided by consignees on a portion of the product price. V-Alliance was responsible for all related expenses, including consignment fees, promotion fees, warehousing fees, insurance, and logistics costs, as well as any loss or damage to the products. Payments were settled with consignees on a quarterly basis. Given the costs and limited scope of this arrangement, management does not anticipate consignment sales to be a significant revenue source. We will continue to pursue other opportunities to drive sales growth and expand our sales channels.
39
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe we distinguish ourselves from our competitors through the following competitive strengths:
| ● | Advanced Proprietary Technology Infrastructure |
Our operational advantages include integrated warehousing and distribution, centralized procurement, and optimized inventory management. By utilizing technological innovation, we realized the digitization of supply chain services for cross-border imported OTC products. Our Hong Kong storage warehouses provide temperature and humidity-controlled room, reliable logistics services, and efficient operations.
Our subsidiary, Joint Cross border, utilizes systematic order management through its proprietary cross-border OTC pharmaceutical enterprise resource planning, or ERP, software system, called “Extraordinary Supply Chain V2.0,” to reduce logistics fulfillment costs, increase efficiency and improve our scalability competency. This system seamlessly integrates with our warehouse management software system, or WMS, enabling a unified system operation for overall order and warehouse operations. Through process optimization, our ERP system streamlines workflows and reduces interruptions to our workers, thereby enhancing overall operational efficiency. Moreover, the “Extraordinary Supply Chain V2.0” management system automatically optimizes the subsequent picking and packaging operation based on different order product information. It prioritizes orders with the same location, the same SKU, and the same quantity, therefore minimizing routes within the warehouse. Simultaneously, the enhanced multi-order batch packaging and processing capability enabled by “Extraordinary Supply Chain V2.0” significantly improves the efficiency of packaging personnel in the warehouse.
| ● | Scalability |
When procuring and warehousing the OTC pharmaceutical products, the overall scale of business orders is a crucial factor in cost control. We have been able to secure and closely collaborate with major platform logistics partners like CaiNiao and top-tier merchants in the cross-border import e-commerce industry. Through increasing the order volume from these large purchasers, we reduce our overall operating costs. Additionally, we expect that cross-border OTC pharmaceuticals orders will continue to grow in the foreseeable future, and this growth will enable us to further capitalize on economies of scale, allowing us to offer competitive prices and better services in transportation, customs clearance and other aspects.
| ● | Flexibility of Our Offerings |
Our capability to tailor our comprehensive offerings allows us to meet our customers’ unique needs, leveraging a holistic one-stop solution that streamlines the supply and distribution process for overseas OTC pharmaceutical products. Our one-stop solution offers pre-consultation, information review, procuring overseas OTC pharmaceutical products, enlisting OTC pharmaceutical products, obtaining import and export permits and clearances, storing products at our warehouses, packaging, and arranging for logistics and end-to-end delivery services for consumers. This comprehensive and adaptable approach, from procurement to final delivery, not only simplifies the supply chain for our clients but also ensures that end consumers receive high-quality products in a timely manner. We believe this flexibility enables us to compete across different market levels, catering to both niche and extensive markets seeking reliable, efficient, and compliant OTC pharmaceutical distribution solutions, thereby positioning us as a preferred partner in the OTC pharmaceutical supply chain capable of navigating the regulatory complexities while meeting diverse client needs.
40
| ● | Regulatory Compliance |
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have obtained all necessary licenses and permits for transactions related to tariff, customs, OTC pharmaceutical import and export transportation, and OTC pharmaceutical storage. We work closely with the HKDOH and other relevant government authorities to ensure compliance and efficiency of our logistical operations.
| ● | Seasoned and Visionary Management Team and Established Market Presence |
Our team members have extensive experience in their respective areas of expertise. Our founder, Lap Sun Wong, is an entrepreneur with substantial expertise in the supply chain and cross-border e-commerce industries. He has over 20 years of management experience with a strong network and substantial resources and know-how that grew our company as one of the leading OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain companies in China. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chenyu Liang, has experience spans several industries and includes both managing day-to-day business activities and directing long-term initiatives, including experience serving as a CEO. He has held the CEO position at Jiangsu Miaodong Trading Group (2023-2025). His extensive experiences in overall management have been instrumental to our success and the execution of our strategic objectives.
Our management team members, with complementary industry experiences in a range of fields, such as supply chain services, risk and compliance, pharmacy and operations, enable us to develop innovative tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.
Our Market Opportunity and Competition
We believe that we entered Mainland China’s OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain industry in its early stages and have established ourselves as one of the main players in the industry. This strategic positioning places us at the forefront of a promising market opportunity, characterized by the exponential growth and increasing demand for overseas OTC pharmaceutical products facilitated through online platforms, reflecting the evolving consumer preferences and the trends of digital adoption in the healthcare sector.
Currently, we are offering OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services for platform logistics partners of, and merchants on, primarily four e-commerce platforms in Mainland China: Tmall, JD.com, Meituan, and Pinduoduo.
Tmall and Alibaba Health. We believe we are one of the three main OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain service providers for Tmall through our engagement with CaiNiao. We also supply independent merchants that sell on the Tmall e-commerce platform with cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products through supply chain, procurement and distribution services. Additionally, we supply OTC pharmaceutical products to Alibaba Health through consignment sales conducted via sales agents.
JD.com. We provide comprehensive cross-border procurement, distribution and supply chain services to independent merchants on JD.com based on the merchants’ specific needs.
Meituan. Meituan began offering cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products on its platform in 2023. We have entered into a partnership agreement with an affiliated party of Meituan. However, to date, we have not provided services to Meituan directly under this partnership agreement. We only provide comprehensive cross-border procurement, distribution and supply chain services to independent merchants that sell on the Meituan e-commerce platform based on their specific needs.
41
Pinduoduo. Pinduoduo began offering cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products on its platform in 2023. To date, we have not provided supply chain services directly to Pinduoduo. We provide comprehensive cross-border procurement, distribution and supply chain services to independent merchants that sell on the Pinduoduo e-commerce platform based on their specific needs.
We seek to differentiate ourselves from competitors with our efficient process, reduced logistics cost, and existing relationships with keys players in the industry. With our exceptional services, expanding customer base, and data-driven approach, we believe we will continue to efficiently scale and generate strong returns.
Growth Strategies
We intend to leverage our competitive strengths to pursue the following growth strategies:
| ● | Continuously Upgrade Our Technology Infrastructure |
We believe the efficiency of our technology infrastructure is a critical factor in determining our market competitiveness. In the next three to five years, we plan to further upgrade our supply chain system to improve accuracy by implementing smart shipping and receiving equipment to achieve automatic identification and counting of goods and packages, automate the assembly line to reduce manual operations and labor costs, and design storage facilities tailored to pharmaceutical products to enhance warehouse space utilization. We believe that overall improvement in processing and equipment, combined with further optimization of the operational system, will further distinguish us from our competitors. We plan to update our software system by developing a comprehensive cross-border OTC pharmaceutical service platform that addresses our current supply chain challenges such as fragmentation and improves customer acquisition.
| ● | Expand Our Sales Team |
We also plan to establish a sales team in Mainland China primarily targeted at acquiring more merchants. Our sales team in Hong Kong has generated significant revenue in recent years, and we plan to expand our sales team as we grow.
| ● | Optimize Working Capital and Operations |
We plan to further optimize our working capital management. This involves improving accounts receivable turnover rates, establishing a robust credit management system, assessing and managing customer credit, reducing inventory turnover times, optimizing procurement plans, and minimizing inventory retention times. Effective working capital management will enhance productivity and an efficient inventory management system will help reduce inventory backlog. With effective working capital management by our professional team, we aim to improve cash flow and capital utilization efficiency, thereby sustainably maintaining our finance and fostering healthy development of our business.
Customers
Currently, our main customers consist of (i) e-commerce platform logistics partners who hire our expertise in supply chain services related to cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products, (ii) merchants on established Chinese e-commerce platforms, and (iii) pharmaceutical distributors. As of March 31, 2026, we provided services to over 300 online merchants. Almost all of our customers are located in Mainland China or Hong Kong.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had one customers that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues, and such customer accounted for approximately 11.54% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2026, we had two customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues, and the two customers accounted for 12.05% and 10.50% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.
42
The customer who accounted for approximately 10.50% of the Company’s total revenues for fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, is CaiNiao. Our subsidiary, Joint Cross Border, entered into a series of agreements with CaiNiao. Under such agreements, we were contracted to provide long-term warehousing and supply chain services related to cross-border OTC pharmaceutical products, to Alibaba Group’s online trading platforms, including Taobao, Tmall, Ju.Taobao, 1688, AliExpress, Tmall HK and Alibaba, as well as other e-commerce platforms that utilize CaiNiao’s logistics services. Our facilities have been designated as the CaiNiao Pharmaceutical Logistics Centre in Hong Kong by CaiNiao, a testament to what we believe to be our stable and stellar fulfillment performance. By connecting to CaiNiao via real-time APIs, we monitor key metrics such as fulfillment accuracy, end-to-end fulfillment time, inventory count and customer complaints in real time. This detailed and quantifiable performance tracking enables granular performance measurements, node by node, facilitating us to seek continuous operational improvements. We believe our reliable performance and years of track record in serving CaiNiao have laid a solid foundation for long-term cooperation with CaiNiao, and this stands as a hallmark of our quality services, serving as a cornerstone for our growth in the high-growth OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain market in Mainland China. The total number of clients in our Supply Chain Services category decreased from 218 for the year ended March 31, 2024, to 211 for the year ended March 31, 2025, and our dependence revenue from supply chain services on CaiNiao has been reduced from 12.33% for the year ended March 31, 2025, to 10.50% for the year ended March 31, 2026. For more information on material terms of our agreements with CaiNiao, please see “— Agreements with CaiNiao” below.
We expect to maintain our business relationships with our existing major customers, and simultaneously strive to diversify our pool of customers as we develop our business to reduce the risk of our dependence on a few major customers.
In response to the rising demand for cross-border OTC pharmaceuticals from internet hospitals in Mainland China, developing such internet hospitals as a new source of revenue has become one of our focuses. We are assisting a number of Mainland Chinese internet hospitals in accessing new (primarily OTC) drugs that are available overseas. Known as “telehealth” in the United States, internet hospitals provide an online platform for patients to receive medical consultations, prescriptions, and health management services without the need for physical visits to traditional hospitals. Internet hospitals have grown rapidly, partly driven by the need for remote healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and supported by the Chinese government as part of a broader initiative to improve healthcare accessibility and efficiency. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not generated revenue from internet hospital clients.
Agreements with CaiNiao
The agreements currently in effect between CaiNiao and Joint Cross Border include the “End-to-End Logistics Service Agreement” and the “Overseas Center Warehouse Service Agreement,” both effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 were further extended from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. Below is a summary of material terms of our agreements with CaiNiao.
Material Obligations of the Parties
| ● | Joint Cross Border shall comply with rules and service standards set by CaiNiao. |
| ● | CaiNiao is entitled to regularly monitor and assess Joint Cross Border’s services. Based on the results of the assessment, CaiNiao has the right to ask Joint Cross Border to improve areas where it believes Joint Cross Border fails to meet the service standards set by CaiNiao within a specified period. |

Sales and Marketing
We started our OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services business by partnering with CaiNiao, the affiliated logistics company for Alibaba Group, particularly Tmall, an e-commerce platform with a large Mainland Chinese customers base and where international businesses can sell brand-name goods to consumers in Mainland China. We currently provide the following services to Tmall: warehouse storage, packaging, OTC pharmaceuticals customs clearance, import compliance, compliance guidelines for online merchants, and product admission verification services. Through collaboration with Tmall, we have established ourselves as a main player in the cross-border OTC pharmaceutical e-commerce industry in China with our competitive price structure, efficient operations, and sourced good quality products. In the process, we have accumulated valuable experience and developed industry expertise by improving our own technological capabilities and management standards.
In subsequent development, we further expanded our business to other popular e-commerce platforms that are active players in the cross-border OTC pharmaceutical e-commerce industry in China, such as JD.com and Meituan. As a result, we have reached strategic cooperation agreements with these e-commerce platforms or their affiliated logistics partners. Although our business has experienced significant growth in the past, we have not stopped investing additional resources to improve our services, seeking new partners for business collaboration, and exploring more opportunities for growth.
In our past marketing efforts, our primary target customer group was merchants that were engaged in the international OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce industry. Depending on the different needs of merchants, we have tailored our logistic service to help reduce merchants’ fulfillment costs. Simultaneously, we have established long-term partnerships with large e-commerce platforms in China to meet their cross-border OTC pharmaceutical import demands. We plan to further penetrate the cross-border OTC pharmaceutical e-commerce market by broadening and diversifying our customer base through targeted sales and marketing efforts, including establishing relationships with additional merchants, online stores, and e-commerce platforms. We also aim to expand our scope of collaboration with internet hospitals to obtain more internet hospitals as our business partners.
Sourcing and Suppliers
Currently, our suppliers comprise four categories: (i) OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors; (ii) logistics subcontractors; (iii) labor service providers; and (iv) packaging suppliers. The OTC pharmaceutical producers and distributors represent the largest category of suppliers by purchase cost. We constantly adjust our supplier pool to optimize our procurement cost. As of March 31, 2026, the total number of our suppliers exceeded 130.
45
For the year ended March 31, 2025, one supplier made up more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for 13.72%. For the year ended March 31, 2026, two suppliers made up more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for 27.50% and 13.58%, respectively.
We generally enter into supply contracts with our suppliers for the supply of (i) OTC pharmaceutical merchandise; (ii) logistics services such as customs clearance and delivery services within Mainland China; (iii) workers who provide merchandise sorting and packaging services; and (iv) packaging materials. A typical supplier agreement lasts for six months to one year for an initial term or does not contain a fixed expiration date. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement upon notifying the other party in advance. In terms of OTC pharmaceutical merchandise procurement, we further place purchase orders within the framework of supply contracts, which detail specifics such as quantities, product specifications, pricing and delivery schedules. We generally include confidential clauses that oblige our suppliers to keep our business information confidential. A termination or modification to any of these relationships could adversely affect our supply and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Seasonality
We experience seasonality in our business because our products and services are interconnected with the online retail industry in China. For example, when e-commerce platforms providers observe reduced user traffic and purchase orders during the Chinese New Year holiday in the first quarter of each year, we receive less orders. Online OTC pharmaceutical sales are higher in the fourth quarter due to increased promotional activities on e-commerce platforms in the fourth quarter. In recent years, e-commerce companies in China hold special promotional campaigns on June 18, November 11, December 12 each year, and we typically generate more business during these periods. Despite these fluctuations, the overall historical seasonality of our business has been relatively mild.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property and proprietary rights are critical to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand. We have maintained a registered domain name (9zt.hk).
46
Trademark
We have registered four trademarks with the Trade Marks Registry of Intellectual Property Department of the Government of Hong Kong as follows. Trademark registration in Hong Kong is for a period of 10 years beginning on the date of registration. At the end of the period, registration may be renewed successively for further 10-year periods.

On August 8, 2024, we entered into a tenancy agreement for a new facility at Unit A, 5th Floor, Olympic Godown, No. 8 Sze Shan Street, Yau Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. As a result of this new facility, we have increased our warehouse footage by over 20% since mid-September 2024. As of December 6, 2024, this facility’s capacity utilization has reached approximately 88%, based on an actual inventory of approximately 793,886 pieces in storage as of December 6, 2024 divided by this facility’s maximum storage capacity of approximately 900,000 pieces. With larger freight elevators, expanded loading ducks, additional machinery and increased staffing, this new facility enables us to improve delivery efficiency for OTC pharmaceutical products, enhance sorting and packaging capabilities and reduce end-to-end fulfillment time. A copy of the tenancy agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

On September 29, 2025, our HK subsidiary, Joint Cross Border, entered into a new car park tenancy agreement for car park space No. 8 located at Po Shing Industrial Building with the lease term from October 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026. The monthly rent under the tenancy agreement was HK$3,000, inclusive of management fees and government rent. Following its expiration, we did not renew or replace the lease because the parking space was no longer required for our operations, and the expiration did not have a material adverse effect on our business or operations.
Our tenancy agreements are duly stamped. We intend to renew our leases upon their expiration. We believe the above facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.
Insurance
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have purchased public liability insurance coverage for three locations during the lease period. For two locations, namely (i) 3/F, Well Town Industrial Building, and (ii) Room B1, 5/F, Well Town Industrial Building, the current coverage is effective for the period from March 28, 2026 to March 27, 2027, and each accident is covered up to a maximum liability of HK$10,000,000 (approximately $1,276,732) per accident with no aggregate cap on total liability for the duration of the coverage period. For the third location at Unit A, 5/F, Olympic Godown, the coverage is effective from September 16, 2025 to September 15, 2026, and each accident is covered up to a maximum liability of HK$30,000,000 (approximately $3,830,196) per accident with no aggregate cap on total liability for the duration of the coverage period.
In addition, we have purchased “property all risks” insurance coverage for the same five locations, currently effective from March 28, 2026 to March 27, 2027. This policy provides comprehensive protection for properties stored at these locations against a range of risks, including among others, water damage, flood, typhoon, windstorm, theft, burglary, fire and landslip. The total insured value for properties at the three locations is HK$300,000 (approximately $38,302), HK$44,850,000 (approximately $5,726,143), and HK$44,850,000 (approximately $5,726,143), respectively.
We also purchased employees’ compensation insurance policies for the following five locations: (i) Block A-B, 3/F., Well Town Industrial Building, (ii) Room B1, 5/F., Well Town Industrial Building, (iii) Block B, 1/F., Well Town Industrial Building, (iv) Room A-B, 7/F., Long Life Industrial Building, and (v) Unit A, 5/F., Olympic Godown, No. 8 Sze Shan Street, Yau Tong, Kowloon, effective from August 29, 2025 to August 28, 2026. Each of the compensation insurance policies insures 16 employees. Each event is covered up to a maximum liability of HK$100,000,000 (approximately $12,767,316).
We plan to review and renew existing insurance coverage before the expiration, to ensure that our coverage remains adequate and relevant to our operational needs and legal obligations. Although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims, it is possible that the amount of one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits.
Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Overview
Our business offering consists of two main categories: (i) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Joint Cross Border, which we refer to as the “Supply Chain Services” and (ii) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border procurement and distribution, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, V-Alliance, which we refer to as the “Procurement and Distribution”.

Revenue. The principal activities of the Company for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were Supply Chain Services and Procurement and Distribution. Our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $13,433,507 and $20,313,818, respectively, representing a decrease of 34%. The decrease was mainly due to decreases in revenue from Supply Chain Services and Procurement and Distribution of $4,923,994 and $1,639,461, respectively.
Revenue from Supply Chain Services decrease by $4,923,994, or 39%, to $7,557,193 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $12,481,187 for the year ended March 31, 2025. This downturn was mainly driven by weakened customer demand amid intensified competitive pressures across the industry. Revenue from Supply Chain Services accounted for 56% of our total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 61% for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Revenue from Procurement and Distribution decreased by $1,639,461, or 22%, to $5,872,130 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $7,511,591 for the year ended March 31, 2025. Beyond intensified market competition, the revenue decline was also driven by the Company’s strategic decision to discontinue business with select customers characterized by extended receivable aging and low gross profit margins. Revenue from Procurement and Distribution accounted for 44% of our total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 37% for the year ended March 31, 2025.
Consignment sales and other revenues represent the revenue from consignment sales and sales of packing materials and sample products. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had revenue of consignment sales and other revenues amounted to $4,184 and $321,040, respectively. The slight decrease of $316,856 or 99% was mainly due to no consignment sales incurred during the year ended March 31, 2026.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenue mainly comprise the cost of products purchased, cost of packing material, transportation cost, warehouse leasing cost, employee compensation, compensation cost for loss of goods, outsourcing packing cost, and other direct costs.
Our cost of revenues decreased by $5,851,461, or 33%, to $12,047,198 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $17,898,659 for the year ended March 31, 2025. Such decrease was mainly due to decrease of cost of product, cost of packing materials and storage cost which are generally in line with the decrease of revenue by 34% in fiscal year 2026. In addition, in order to keep competitive to competitors, the Company intentionally lower its selling price, which resulted in a lower decrease ratio of cost of revenue than the decrease ratio of revenue during the fiscal year 2026. Thus, the gross profit margin decreased from 12% to 10%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses Our selling, general and administrative expenses comprise primarily employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, outsourcing service fees, professional expenses, utility expenses and other office expenses.
54
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $179,216, or 8% to $2,395,075 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $2,215,859 for the year ended March 31, 2025. Such increase was primarily due to increase of professional service and investor relationship expenses as a Nasdaq listing company during its second year after its IPO.
Other income and other losses, net Our other income primarily consists of government grants. Other losses primarily consist of foreign currency exchange loss, penalties and gain or loss on disposal of subsidiaries or property and equipment. Other income and other losses, net increased by $81,126 to $13,864 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $(67,262) for the year ended March 31, 2025. The other income, net during the fiscal year 2026 mainly included the revaluation gain on investment funds of $75,095, other income of $5,327, offset by loss on disposal of property and equipment, and intangible assets of $27,112 and foreign currency exchange loss of $39,446. The other loss during the fiscal year 2025 mainly included the revaluation loss on investment funds of $43,145, penalty of $10,516, loss on disposal of property and equipment of $7,524 and foreign currency exchange loss of $7,541.
Financial cost, net. Financial cost, net represent the interest expenses for operating lease liability and interest for short-term loans, long-term bank loans and payable, offset by interest income from bank deposit. Our financial cost, net increased by $37,469, or 39% to $133,395 for the year ended March 31, 2026 from $95,926 for the year ended March 31, 2025. Such increase was primarily due to the increase of average balance of bank loans and cost for early repayment of bank loans.
Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expenses of $7,666 for the year ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $63,168 for the year ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $55,502 or 88%. The decrease in the income tax expense was mainly resulted from decrease of profit before tax of Hong Kong subsidiaries.
Net (loss) profit. Net loss for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $(1,135,963) and $(27,056), respectively, an increase of $1,108,907, or 4099%. The increase of net loss was primary due to decrease of gross profit of $1,028,850 and increase of selling and administrative expenses of $179,216, offset by increase of other income, net of $81,126 and decrease of income tax expense of $55,502 as explained above.

Revenue. The principal activities of the Company for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were Supply Chain Services and Procurement and Distribution. Our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $20,313,818 and $16,688,364, respectively, representing an increase of 22%. The increase was mainly due to increases in revenue from Supply Chain Services and Procurement and Distribution of $2,335,332 and $1,293,793, respectively.
55
Revenue from Supply Chain Services increase by $2,335,332, or 23%, to $12,481,187 for the year ended March 31, 2025 from $10,145,855 for the year ended March 31, 2024. Such increase was primarily due to that the Supply Chain Services were more accepted by market and the Company obtained more customers as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024.

Such increase was primarily due to that the Company intentionally promoted such services to new customers as well as the existing customers of our Supply Chain Services division. Revenue from Procurement and Distribution accounted for 37% of our total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 37% for the year ended March 31, 2024.

The slight decrease of $3,671 or 1% was mainly due to no further consignment sales incurred during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenue mainly comprise the cost of products purchased, cost of packing material, transportation cost, warehouse leasing cost, employee compensation, compensation cost for loss of goods, outsourcing packing cost, and other direct costs.

Such increase was mainly due to increase of cost of product, cost of packing materials and storage cost which are generally in line with the increase of revenue by 22% in fiscal year 2025. In addition, in order to keep competitive to competitors, the Company intentionally lower its selling price, which resulted in a higher increase ratio of cost of revenue than the increase ratio of revenue during the fiscal year 2025. Thus, the gross profit margin decreased from 21% to 12%.

Such significant increase was primarily due to the increase of short-term bank loans and long-term bank loans.
Income tax expense. We recorded income tax expenses of $63,168 for the year ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $196,252 for the year ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $133,084 or 68%. The decrease in the income tax expense was mainly resulted from decrease of profit before tax.
56

The decrease of net profit was primary due to decrease of gross profit of $1,143,506 and increase of selling and administrative expenses of $326,404, offset by decrease of income tax expense of $133,084 as explained above.
5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $221,841. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through capital contributions from our shareholders, cash generated from operations and bank borrowings, and funds received from our initial public offering.
In assessing its liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $9,107,627. While the Company recorded a net loss of $1.2 million and net cash outflows of $0.8 million from operating activities, such outflows stemmed primarily from higher repayments for trade and other payables, which already decreased to a lower level of $0.8 million as of March 31, 2026. Separately, the Company received $1.4 million in proceeds from the disposal of fund investments as of June 30, 2026. Furthermore, the controlling shareholders stand ready to provide financial support should the Company encounter cash shortages. Therefore, the Company believes that its cash on hand, operating cash flows and future financing cash inflow will be sufficient to fund its operations over at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. However, the Company may need additional cash resources in the future if the Company experiences changed business conditions or other developments, and may also need additional cash in the future if the Company wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed the Company’s amounts of cash on hand, the Company may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain a credit facility.
We believe that our current levels of cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for our operations and expansion plans for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

5.D. Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demand, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net revenues and income from operations, profitability, liquidity, capital resources, or would cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operation results or financial condition.
59
5.E. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial information requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions concerning the future. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
For a summary of all of our material accounting policies information, see Note 3, Note 4 and Note 5 to our audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Impairment Losses
Impairment losses are based on an assessment of the investment or long-lived assets’ ability to generate future cash flows when there is evidence that these assets may be impaired. The calculation of the amount of impairment loss are based on estimates made by management when applying broad accounting principles governing the accounting for these assets. The determination of these estimates requires judgment by management. The final outcome may differ from the original estimates made by management, which may impact the carrying value of the assets which management has determined to be impaired and charged to the Company’s profit loss during the period.
Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Income Tax
The Company has exposure to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is involved in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such differences will impact the income tax and differed tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying amount of the Company’s income tax payable as at March 31, 2026 amounted to $17,188.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined 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. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
| Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2: | Other than quoted prices that are observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 3: | Inputs are unobservable and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
60
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our financial instruments consist of Level 1 and Level 2 assets.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets
As described in Note 5, the costs of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets to be within 5 years. These are the common life expectancies applied in the same industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation or amortization charges could be revised.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating-unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognized as an impairment loss in the income statement, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognized in the income statement, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Lease
We utilize operating leases to finance our warehouse, administrative offices and employees’ dormitories. Such arrangements typically shift the risk of loss on the residual value of the assets at the end of the lease period to the lessor. In accordance with the IFRS 16, we had $0.4 million in operating lease liabilities and $0.4 million in related right-of-use assets on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2026; we had $0.5 million in operating lease liabilities and $0.5 million in related right-of-use assets on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2025; and we had $0.7 million in operating lease liabilities and $0.7 million in related right-of-use assets on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. The weighted-average remaining lease term of all operating leases outstanding at March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 was 16.3 months, 10.7 months and 15.4 months, respectively.
61
Our leases generally contain options to extend or terminate the lease. We reevaluate our leases on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic incentives of exercising the renewal options, and how they align with our operating strategy. Therefore, substantially all the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the options to extend are not reasonably certain at lease commencement. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in the right-to-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated statements of financial position.
The lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid and our incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which we would borrow, on a collateralized basis, over the term of a lease in the applicable currency environment. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where we are the lessee.
Allowance for expected credit losses
The calculation of the Group’s expected credit loss allowances and provisions against trade receivables, under IFRS 9 requires the Group to make a number of judgements, assumptions and estimates. The expected outcome may be different from the original estimate, and such difference will impact carrying value of trade receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been charged.
Critical judgements include:
| ● | Determining an appropriate definition of default against which a probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default parameter can be evaluated |
| ● | Establishing the criteria for a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) |
| ● | The individual assessment of material cases and the use of judgmental adjustments made to impairment modelling processes that adjust inputs, parameters and outputs to reflect risks not captured by models |
Key source of estimation uncertainty includes:
| ● | Base case and multiple economic scenarios (MES) assumptions, including the rate of unemployment and the rate of change of house prices, required for creation of MES scenarios and forward-looking credit parameters |
In accordance with the contracts, when the goods or services are delivered, the customers are due to pay the full amount of revenue. However, most customers may postpone paying the outstanding balance in one or two months after acceptance of the goods or services. In general, if a receivable’s ageing is more than 1 year, it is very possible to be uncollectable or with certain disputes. As such, the management will examine all balances longer than 1 year and distinguish which are in special events to be not collectable. The Company determines that any receivables with ageing longer than 2 year or any receivables identified by the management with special events to be uncollectable are deemed to be uncollectable and need to be written off.
As of March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not identify any accounts receivable requiring write-off. All trade receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and 2025 were fully collected in subsequent periods. Accordingly, no allowance for expected credit losses was recorded for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2025. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, a receivable balance of $5,829 was determined to be uncollectible, for which a specific allowance was established as at March 31, 2026.
Share-based payments
The Company measures the share-based payments value, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. As no active market for the Company’s equity value, the Company used discounted cash flow analyses for valuing the fair value and made estimates about expected future cash flows and credit spreads. Interest rate spreads, credit spreads, earnings multiples and interest rate volatility are the key sources of estimation, which may takes significant impact on the value of the share-based payments.
Lease liability
The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability, specific to the asset, underlying currency, and geographic location. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of the lease obligations are estimated using a discount rate similar to the Company’s specific borrowing rate. This rate represents the rate that the Company would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the asset of a similar value, with similar payment terms and security in a similar environment. The Company applies judgement in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term.

6.C. Board Practices
The Nasdaq Marketplace Rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. We have two employee directors, Mr. Lap Sun Wong and Mr. Chenyu Liang, and three independent directors. As a result, a majority of the board of directors of Cellyan Biotechnology are independent.
A director is not required to hold any shares in the Company to qualify to serve as a director. Cellyan Biotechnology’s board of directors may exercise all the powers of Cellyan Biotechnology to raise or borrow money, and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds or other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third-party.
A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with Cellyan Biotechnology is required to declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. Following a declaration being made, subject to any separate requirement for the audit committee’s approval under applicable law or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract, proposed contract, or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein, and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered.
Board Committees
We have established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee of Cellyan Biotechnology’s board of directors. We have also adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit Committee
The audit committee consists of three directors, namely, Jingyan Wu, Mike Yao Zhou and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Jingyan Wu is the chairperson of our audit committee. The board of directors has also determined that Jingyan Wu 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:
| ● | appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors; |
| ● | reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response; |
| ● | discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors; |
| ● | reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures; |
66
| ● | reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions; |
| ● | meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and |
| ● | monitoring compliance with Cellyan Biotechnology’s code of ethics and business conduct, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance. |
Compensation Committee
The compensation committee consists of three directors, namely, Jingyan Wu, Mike Yao Zhou and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Mike Yao Zhou acts as the chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to Cellyan Biotechnology’s directors and executive officers. Cellyan Biotechnology’s chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
| ● | reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for the Company’s chief executive officer and other executive officers; |
| ● | reviewing and recommending to the board for determination with respect to the compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors; |
| ● | reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and |
| ● | selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management. |
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The nominating and corporate governance committee consists of three directors, namely, Jingyan Wu, Mike Yao Zhou and Dr. Kam Leung Chan, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Section 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules. Dr. Kam Leung Chan is the chairperson of our nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become the directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:
| ● | selecting and recommending to the board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the board; |
| ● | reviewing annually with the board the current composition of the board with regards to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills, experience and diversity; |
| ● | making recommendations on the frequency and structure of board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of the board; and |

Duties of Directors
Under Cayman Islands law, Cellyan Biotechnology’s directors owe fiduciary duties to our company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in our best interests. The directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. The directors also owe to our company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. Our company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. In limited exceptional circumstances, a shareholder may have the right to seek damages in our name if a duty owed by our directors is breached. You should refer to “Description of Share Capital — Differences in Corporate Law” for additional information on our standards of corporate governance under Cayman Islands law.
The functions and powers of the board of directors include, among others:
| ● | convening shareholders’ annual general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings; |
| ● | declaring dividends and distributions; |
| ● | appointing officers and determining the term of office of officers; |
| ● | exercising the borrowing powers of our company and mortgaging the property of our company; and |
| ● | approving the transfer of shares of our company, including the registering of such shares in our register of members. |
Terms of Directors and Officers
Our directors may be appointed by a resolution of our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may, by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the directors present and voting at a board meeting appoint any person as a director either to fill a casual vacancy on our board or as an addition to the existing board. Our officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they resign or otherwise are removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders. A director will cease to be a director if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board of directors, is absent from three consecutive meetings of the board and the board resolves that his office be vacated; (v) is prohibited by law from being a director or; (vi) is removed from office pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
Employment and Indemnification Agreements
Cellyan Biotechnology have entered into employment agreements with its executive officers that are governed by the laws of Hong Kong. A copy of the form of such agreements has been filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report. The duration of such agreements is specified in a separate agreement between the officer and one of the HK Subsidiaries (the “HK Agreement”), with automatic annual renewals unless a one-month non-renewal notice is given. Unless otherwise provided in the HK Agreement, the employment may be terminated by Cellyan Biotechnology at any time with or without cause, or by the officer, by one month’s prior written notice. Unless otherwise provided in the HK Agreement, Cellyan Biotechnology shall pay to the officer (or his or her beneficiary in the event of his or her death) any base salary or other compensation earned but not paid to the officer prior to the effective date of such termination. All other benefits due to the officer following his or her termination of employment shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of Cellyan Biotechnology.
68
The officer agrees to dedicate substantially all of the officer’s working time and best efforts to the officer’s role with Cellyan Biotechnology and to assign any intellectual property created (i) within the scope of the officer’s employment during the officer’s tenure, (ii) within 12 months after termination of employment if the intellectual property relates to the officer’s employment scope, and (iii) by using resources of Cellyan Biotechnology during the officer’s tenure, to Cellyan Biotechnology. The agreements also contain customary non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality clauses. Each executive officer also represented to us that when the employment agreement was executed, he or she was not in an employment relationship with any other entity or corporation and he or she had not executed any other non-competition agreement.
Cellyan Biotechnology has entered into indemnification agreements with the directors and executive officers, pursuant to which it agreed to indemnify the directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.
Share Incentive Plan
On November 21, 2025, the compensation committee and the Company’s board of directors adopted Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which the Company reserved up to 1,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, to be used to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company.

Financial Statements
See “Item 18. Financial Statements,” which contains our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that in the opinion of our management will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Policy on Dividend Distributions
We have not previously declared, or paid cash dividends and we have no plan to declare or pay any dividends in the near future on the Ordinary Shares. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and future earnings to operate and expand our business.
Cellyan Biotechnology is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and it relies principally on dividends from its Hong Kong Subsidiaries for its cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to its shareholders. See “Item 3D. Risk Factors— Risks Related to Our Business and Industry— Cellyan Biotechnology relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its HK Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements Cellyan Biotechnology may have, and any limitation on the ability of its HK Subsidiaries to make payments to Cellyan Biotechnology could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, while currently there are no restrictions on foreign exchange, nor limitations on the ability of Cellyan Biotechnology to transfer cash to or from HK Subsidiaries or to investors under Hong Kong laws, if certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to our HK Subsidiaries, to the extent our cash or assets are in Hong Kong or with a Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on HK Subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds or assets by the PRC government.”
Cellyan Biotechnology’s board of directors has discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that it may only pay dividends out of its profits or share premium account, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in it being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if the board of directors of Cellyan Biotechnology decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

The amendment to the authorized share capital and the repurchase of the 7,150,000 Class A Ordinary Shares were fully completed as of February 8, 2026.
72
10.B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
Summaries of material provisions of our memorandum and articles of association currently in effect and of the Companies Act, insofar as they relate to the material terms of the Ordinary Shares, are contained in the IPO Form F-1 in the section entitled “Description of Share Capital,” which are incorporated herein by reference.
10.C. Material Contracts
Securities Purchase Agreements with investors in March 2026
On March 24, 2026, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “March 2026 Private Placement”), an aggregate of 12,499,986 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.001 per share included in 12,499,986 units (the “Units”), each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, and two warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share (each, a “Warrant”), at a purchase price of $0.52 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $6,500,000. The Company plans to use the process for business expansion, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Warrants have a three-year term and a $0.01 per share exercise price. The Warrants also provide for cashless exercise if and only if at the time of any exercise thereof there is no effective registration statement registering. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99%) of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
In connection with the March 2026 Private Placement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file one or more registration statements with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register the resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Private Placement and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file the initial registration statement no later than the 30th calendar day following the closing date of the Private Placement.
The Private Placement closed on March 25, 2026. The foregoing summary of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and Warrants are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such document.
10.D. Exchange Controls
Cayman Islands
Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, there are currently no restrictions on the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls or restrictions that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Ordinary Shares.
Hong Kong Exchange Controls
Hong Kong does not impose foreign exchange controls. This means there are no restrictions on the movement of capital into or out of the territory. Individuals and businesses can freely convert and transfer currencies without government intervention. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) ensures that the region maintains a high degree of financial openness, facilitating a free flow of capital. This openness is a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s financial policy and contributes to its status as a major global financial hub.
The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) is pegged to the U.S. dollar (USD) within a tight range, which provides stability and predictability for foreign exchange transactions. The peg is maintained through the Linked Exchange Rate System, where the HKMA intervenes in the currency market to maintain the exchange rate within the specified range.
There are no restrictions on the repatriation of profits, dividends, interest, or capital. Foreign investors can freely repatriate their investment returns, which makes Hong Kong an attractive destination for international business and investment.

10.E. Taxation
A description of material Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares is contained in the IPO Form F-1 in the section entitled “Taxation,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

If we are required to provide an annual report to security holders, we will submit the annual report to security holders in electronic format in accordance with the EDGAR Filer Manual.
ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily through service income or expenses that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily US$. As HK$ is currently pegged to US$, our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations is minimal.
74
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expenses incurred on bank borrowings and income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. However, our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in market interest rates.
We may invest the net proceeds we receive from the initial public offering in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.
Inflation
We do not believe the impact of inflation on our company is material. Our operations are in Hong Kong and Hong Kong’s inflation rates have been relatively stable in the last three years: 1.5% for 2026, 1.4% for 2025 and 2% for 2024.
The inflation rate is expected to stay moderate at around 2% on a year basis in Hong Kong. While the headline inflation rate was notably higher, and import prices will continue to rise notably amid high inflation in many major economies, and those of energy-related items soared further, but price pressures on other major components were broadly in check in Hong Kong.

Use of Proceeds
On January 16, 2025, we completed our initial public offering of an aggregate of 1,403,685 ordinary shares of par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a public offering price of US$4.00 per share, of which 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares are offered by Cellyan Biotechnology and 403,685 Ordinary Shares are offered by the selling shareholders of the Company. The Ordinary Shares offered and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282876), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 20, 2025.
Our IPO generated gross proceeds of $5,614,740, before deducting underwriting discounts and other related expenses, including $4,000,000 received by the Company and $1,614,740 received by the selling shareholders of the Company. We paid underwriting accountable expenses of approximately $250,000 and other issuance costs of approximately $205,479. We paid out of pocket all of our fees, costs and expenses in connection with the IPO.
No offering proceeds were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates), persons owning 10% or more of the Ordinary Shares or any other affiliates.
As of the latest reporting period, there has been a material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our IPO, after described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on January 15, 2025, pursuant to Rule 424(b). Specifically, we have allocated $2.3 million of the net proceeds to acquire an investment in Evergreen Equity Fund, a private equity fund based in Singapore, which was fully redeemed as of June 2026.
On March 25, 2026, the March 2026 Private Placement closed. The Company issued and sold, an aggregate of 12,499,986 Class A Ordinary Shares included in 12,499,986 Units, each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, and two Warrant, at a purchase price of $0.52 per Unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $6,500,000. The Company plans to use the process for business expansion, working capital and general corporate purposes.
ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
76
Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
It should be noted that while our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and our corporate governance practices are governed by applicable laws of Cayman Islands and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In addition, since the Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, we are subject to Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, where more than 50% of the voting power of our securities for the election of directors was held by an individual, group or another company and, as a result, qualified for exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation (i) the requirement that the board of directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors; (ii) the requirement that the compensation of our officers be determined or recommended to our board of directors by a compensation committee that is comprised solely of independent directors, and (iii) the requirement that director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of independent directors or a nominating and corporate governance committee comprised solely of independent directors. We have not relied on any of these “controlled company” exemptions.
In addition, as a foreign private issuer, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) permits us to follow home country practices in lieu of certain requirements of Listing Rule 5600, provided that we disclose in our annual report filed with the SEC each requirement of Rule 5600 that we do not follow and describe the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement.
We are currently following some Cayman corporate governance practices in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards as follows:
| ● | We are not required to seek shareholders’ approval of any issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering where such transaction involves the issuance of securities representing more than 20% of or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance at a price lower than the “Minimum Price”, in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) with respect to shareholder approval. |
| ● | We are not required to seek shareholders’ approval for the establishment of or any material amendments to our equity compensation plans in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) with respect to shareholder approval. |
| ● | We are not required to seek shareholders’ approval for the issuance of securities to external consultants, in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) with respect to shareholder approval. |
| ● | We are not required to hold annual shareholders’ meetings. |
Our Cayman counsel has provided relevant letters to Nasdaq certifying that under Cayman law, we are not required to seek shareholders’ approval in the above circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial position of Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd (formerly known as Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited) (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered a net loss of approximately $1.1 million and net cash outflows from operating activities of $0.8 million, together with a material decline in operating revenues during the year ended March 31, 2026. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd (f.k.a. Hong Kong Pharma Digital Technology Holdings Limited) (“Cellyan” or “the Company”) is an exempted limited liability company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands on August 17, 2023. The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) are principally engaged in the OTC pharmaceutical business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Joint Cross Border Logistics Company Limited (“JCB”) and V-Alliance Technology Supplies Limited (“VA”), each a limited liability corporation incorporated in Hong Kong and collectively referred to as HK Subsidiaries. There are two main categories of business offering: (i) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, JCB, which we refer to as the “Supply Chain Services” division and (ii) OTC pharmaceutical cross-border procurement and distribution, primarily conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, VA, which we refer to as the “Procurement and Distribution” division.
As of March 31, 2026 the Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities were as follows:
| Subsidiaries | Date of Incorporation or acquisition | Jurisdiction of Formation | Percentage of direct/indirect Economic Ownership | Principal Activities | ||||
| * |
Reorganization
As described below, the Company, through a series of transactions which is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control (the “Reorganization”), became the ultimate parent of its subsidiaries. The reorganization of the legal structure was completed on December 7, 2023. The reorganization involved:
| (i) | The transfer of all the shareholder equity interest in JCB to the Company on December 7, 2023; |
| (ii) | The transfer of all the shareholders’ equity interest in VA to the Company on December 7, 2023; |
Before and after the Reorganization, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, is effectively controlled by the same shareholder, and therefore the reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25. IFRS does not have a standard nor cover combination under common control, and the Company chooses to adapt from US GAAP ASC is not contradictory to compliance with IFRS. Therefore, the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5. Therefore, all subsidiaries are consolidated under common control basis. All references to the number of ordinary shares and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively restated to reflect the reorganization. However, the shares issued to new investors on and after December 1, 2023 were not part of the reorganization and have been accounted for prospectively.
F-8
NOTE 2 — ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS
Adoption of new and revised Standards — For the purpose of preparing and presenting the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies which conform with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), which are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2023, throughout the year ended March 31, 2026.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies
The Group has adopted the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements for the first time in the financial year ended March 31, 2023. The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.
The Group has applied materiality guidance in IFRS Practice Statement 2 in identifying its material accounting policies for disclosures in the related notes. The previous term ‘significant accounting policies’ used throughout the financial statements has been replaced with ‘material accounting policies information’.
New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective
At March 31, 2026, the Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| ● | Annual improvements to IFRS- Volume 11 (1) |
| ● | Third Edition IFRS for SMEs Standard (1) | |
| ● | Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Disclosures – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (1) | |
| ● | Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity (1) | |
| ● | IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (2) |
| (1) | Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with early application permitted. |
| (2) | Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. |
The Group does not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed above will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in future periods.
NOTE 3 — material ACCOUNTING POLICIES Information
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
F-9
Fair value is 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
| ● | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
Going concern
These financial statements are prepared under the fundamental going-concern accounting basis. Management has completed its going-concern assessment for the twelve-month period subsequent to the reporting date.
During the year ended 31 March 2026,
the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $
Management has performed a going-concern assessment
covering a period of not less than twelve months from the reporting date. In performing this assessment, management considered the following
mitigating factors: (a) The Company had working capital of $
After considering these adverse events and mitigating factors in aggregate, management concluded that there is no material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going-concern basis.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
F-10
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. One subsidiary was acquired during the year ended March 31, 2026. No subsidiaries were acquired during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.
Foreign currencies
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currencies of the Company are the local currency of the country in which the subsidiaries operate. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported using U.S. Dollars. The results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average rates of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect on that date. The equity denominated in the functional currencies is translated at the historical rates of exchange at the time of capital contributions. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rates, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated statements of financial position. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component in accumulated other comprehensive income included in consolidated statements of changes in equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss).
Since the Company operates primarily in Hong Kong, the Company’s functional currency is Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been translated into the reporting currency of U.S. Dollars (“US$”).
The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:
| March 31, | March 31, | March 31, | ||||
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| HK$ Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | US$1= HK$ |
US$1= HK$ |
US$1=HK$ | |||
| HK$ Items in the statements of income and cash flows | US$1= HK$ |
US$1= HK$ |
US$1=HK$ | |||
| RMB balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | US$1=RMB | |||||
| RMB Items in the statements of income and cash flows | US$1=RMB |
Segment reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, the Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
The Group did not allocate or manage the resources of different revenue streams by companies or business units. Therefore, the Group’s management reviews the consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Company operates and manages its business in Hong Kong as a single segment. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the Hong Kong and substantially all the Company’s revenues are incurred within Hong Kong, no geographical segments are presented.
F-11
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
When the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the amount of consideration is estimated to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
When the contract contains a financing component which provides the customer a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Company and the customer at contract inception. When the contract contains a financing component which provides the Company a significant financial benefit for more than one year, revenue recognized under the contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the effective interest method. For a contract where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services is one year or less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, using the practical expedient in IFRS 15. Currently, the Company’s contracts with its customers do not include financial benefit for more than one year.
Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations for each of the revenue streams are as follows:
Revenue from resale of OTC pharmaceutical products (procurement and distribution)
The Company sells OTC pharmaceutical products to various wholesalers. In accordance with the contracts signed between the Company and customers, the Company promises to deliver a batch of specific pharmaceutical products, which is identified as a performance obligation, and only one obligation can be identified. For all the Company’s sales contracts, the sales amount is fixed. No significant variable consideration is involved. Performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when control of the OTC pharmaceutical products is transferred to the customers, generally on delivery and acceptance of the goods, because the Company does not have a right to payment for the performance completed before the customer acceptance and the customer cannot simultaneously receive and consume the benefit from the products provided by the Company. The Company does not have any further performance obligations after the customer acceptance. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss), as the Company acts as a principal to take inventory risks of these goods.
Revenue from consignment sales of OTC pharmaceutical products (consignment sales)
The Company sells OTC pharmaceutical products to customers through certain sales agents. In accordance with the contracts signed between the Company and the sales agent, the Company promises to deliver a batch of specific pharmaceutical products, which is identified as a performance obligation. For all the Company’s consignment sales contracts, the sales price is fixed, and no significant variable consideration is involved. Performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when control of the OTC pharmaceutical products are transferred to the customers. Although we contracted directly with the sales agent, the revenue is recognized upon the products are sold to end customers and the proceeds are collected properly. The products kept by the sales agent before sold out to the end customers are recorded as consignment inventories. The Company does not have any further performance obligations after products are accepted and sold to end customers. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss), as the Company acts as a principal to take inventory risks of these goods.
F-12
Revenue from providing varied logistics services (supply chain services)
The Company provided types of logistics services in connection to goods transported from different countries to be delivered to customers located in Hong Kong or mainland China. These services include international transportation and customs clearance service, storage service, packing and labeling services, Customs clearance service, mainland China delivery service, etc. Some contracts (hereby is called “distinct services”) are signed to include varied performance obligations independent from each other with distinct price for each type of service, while some contracts (hereby is called “packaged services”) are signed to include types of performance obligations with sequence to be delivered and the customer could receive and accept the packaged services when the last obligation is completed. As such, the Company considered the packaged services as one distinct performance obligation. Performance obligation is satisfied in time when the customers received and accepted the service, which represents the distinct obligation service is completed. Customers confirm the services accepted and the corresponding amount with the Company on a monthly basis. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss), as the Company acts as a principal to provide a type of logistics service or a package of logistics services and take a full obligation to provide such services even if the suppliers are not able to deliver service.
Some of the contracts include penalty clause to adjust down the price to the Company if the Company are not able to meet certain logistics requirements. The Company estimates the penalty amount as a liability at each period end and adjusts the revenue accordingly. When the amount is confirmed by the customer, the liability will be revised accordingly. As of March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the liability is zero.
Other revenue
Other revenue represents the revenue from sales of packing materials and sample products. Performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when control of the goods are transferred to the customers, generally on delivery and acceptance of the goods. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income (loss), as the Company acts as a principal to take inventory risks of these goods.
Other income
Other income includes government grants and penalty income. Subsidy income is recognized upon receiving the government grants. The government grants during the year ended March 31, 2026 represents the maternity benefit. No government grants were recorded during the years ended March 31, 2025. The government grants during the year ended March 31, 2024 represents the special subsidy for the disable employees and for the Company maintained employees during COVID period, respectively.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Retirement benefit costs
Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the Hong Kong government, the Group’s subsidiaries located in the Hong Kong participate in a Mandatory Provident Fund, which is a government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby they contribute a prescribed percentage of the basic salaries of their employees to the Scheme to fund their retirement benefits. Once the Scheme has been funded via contributions by the Group’s participating subsidiaries, Hong Kong government takes responsibility for the retirement benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of those subsidiaries located in the Hong Kong; accordingly, the only obligation of the Group with respect to the Scheme is to pay the on-going required contributions as long as the employees maintain employment with the Group. There are no provisions under the Scheme whereby forfeited contributions may be used to reduce future contributions. These plans are considered defined contribution plans. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after its payment of the fixed contributions into the pension schemes. Contributions to pension schemes are recognized as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed.
F-13
Taxation
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax is recognized as temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
F-14
Leasing
IFRS 16 Leases requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases based on a ‘right-of-use model’ which reflects that, at the commencement date, a lessee has a financial obligation to make lease payments to the lessor for its right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lessor conveys that right to use the underlying asset at lease commencement, which is the time when it makes the underlying asset available for use by the lessee.
IFRS 16 defines a lease term as the noncancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset including optional periods when an entity is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate) a lease.
Under IFRS 16 lessees may also elect not to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. In such cases a lessee recognizes the lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The exemption is required to be applied by class of underlying assets. Lessees can also make an election for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. This election can be made on a lease-by-lease basis.
A lessee’s early termination of a lease contract constitutes a lease modification under IFRS 16, whereby the contractual lease term is fully curtailed prior to its original maturity date, with immediate cessation of the right-of-use asset utilization. For all lease modifications that result in partial or full lease termination (including voluntary early termination by the Company as lessee), the lease liability is remeasured based on the revised terminated lease term and revised termination-related lease payments at the modification effective date, using the Company’s updated incremental borrowing rate or the lease’s implicit rate (where determinable). The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is proportionately reduced to reflect the terminated portion of the lease. Any net difference arising from the derecognition of the adjusted lease liability and the write-down of the related right-of-use asset, together with any applicable early termination penalties, is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a net gain or loss on lease termination in the reporting period of termination.
Under a lease longer than 1 year, the lessees are required to recognize right-of-use asset (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and are recognized as the amount of the lease liabilities, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, net of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use-asset. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. The Company’s lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option.
Any lease with a term of 12 months or less is considered short-term. As permitted by IFRS 16, short-term leases are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liabilities accounts on the consolidated statements of financial position. Consistent with all other operating leases, short-term lease expenses are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leasehold improvements
Leasehold improvements, principally comprising costs of office buildings and warehouse renovation, are held for administrative and logistics processing purposes. Leasehold improvements are initially measured at cost and amortized systematically over its useful life.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising from de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the item is de-recognized.
F-15
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, principally comprising software
purchased. Separately acquired software is shown at historical cost. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost
less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The software is amortized over
Inventories
Inventories, comprising of packing materials and merchandise inventories, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs of inventories are determined using the weighted average method for each type of inventory initially recorded at purchase cost. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Deferred IPO costs
Deferred IPO costs represent costs associated with the Company’s shares offering, which will be netted against the gross proceeds from the Company’s shares offering.
Investment for funds
Investment for funds represent an investment into an open-end fund with redemption period one year after its initial investment. As the fund does not declare a definite time and amount for investor to redeem, the investment’s object is not considered to collect contractual cash flows. As a result, the investment for funds is classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.
Crypto assets
The Group accounts for crypto assets in accordance with the IFRIC June 2019 Agenda Decision and IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Crypto assets held by the Group are not issued by a central bank, do not constitute legal tender, and do not provide the Group with an enforceable contractual right to receive fixed cash flows from any third party. Accordingly, such crypto assets are neither cash, cash equivalents nor financial assets under IAS 32 and IFRS 9.
The Group’s ordinary business does not include trading of digital assets for short-term profit. Crypto assets are held for operational purposes, including settlement of supplier payments and occasional disposal, and therefore do not qualify as inventory under IAS 2. The Group classifies such crypto assets as identifiable non-monetary intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
Crypto assets are initially measured at fair value at the transaction date when received as non-cash consideration. The Group applies the cost model for subsequent measurement, whereby crypto assets are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. No amortization is recognized. In accordance with IAS 36, the Group assesses impairment indicators at each reporting date. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss and cannot be reversed in subsequent periods, even if market prices recover.
Crypto assets are derecognized upon disposal, transfer for settlement of obligations or when no future economic benefit is expected. Gains and losses arising from derecognition are recognized in profit or loss.
Trade receivables
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Trade receivables represent amounts invoiced and revenues recognized prior to invoicing when the Company has satisfied the Company’s performance obligation and has the unconditional rights to payment.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
F-16
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents the cash deposited in the escrow account managed by online platforms (sales agents). The cash in the escrow account is used to be compensated to ending customers who bought the goods through the online platforms, in case certain ending customers ask for return or other quality claims.
Share-based payments
Shares granted to employees
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value of the equity-settled share-based payments determined at the grant date without taking into consideration all non-market vesting conditions is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity (shares held under share award scheme). At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest based on assessment of all relevant non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share-based payments reserve. For shares that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the shares granted is expensed immediately to profit or loss.
Shares granted to non-employees
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. The fair value of the goods or services received are recognized as expenses (unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets).
When shares granted are vested, the amount previously recognized in share-based payment reserve will be transferred to share premium.
Financial instruments — investments and other financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value, plus in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition”.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
F-17
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
| ● | The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. |
| ● | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments)
The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
| ● | The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling. |
| ● | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
For debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the income statement and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in other comprehensive income is recycled to the income statement.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity investments)
Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income when they meet the definition of equity under HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to the income statement. Dividends are recognized as other income in the income statement when the right of payment has been established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in other comprehensive income. Equity investments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject to impairment assessment.
F-18
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not sole payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. This category includes derivative financial instruments and structured bank deposits.
A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non-financial host, is separated from the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host; a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
A derivative embedded within a hybrid contract containing a financial asset host is not accounted for separately. The financial asset host together with the embedded derivative is required to be classified in its entirety as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial instruments — impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
General approach
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including historical and forward-looking information.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 120 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
F-19
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost are subject to impairment under the general approach and they are classified within the following stages for measurement of ECLs except for trade receivables which apply the simplified approach as detailed below.
Stage 1 — Financial instruments for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs
Stage 2 — Financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are not credit-impaired financial assets and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
Stage 3 — Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired) and for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs
Simplified approach
For trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or when the Group applies the practical expedient of not adjusting the effect of a significant financing component, the Group applies the simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Under the simplified approach, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
For trade receivables that contain a significant financing component and lease receivables, the Group chooses as its accounting policy to adopt the simplified approach in calculating ECLs with policies as described above.
Financial instruments — derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated balance sheet) when:
| ● | the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or |
| ● | the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. |
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Financial instruments — financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables, financial liabilities included in accruals and interest-bearing bank borrowings.
F-20
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included in finance costs in the income statement.
Financial instruments — derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income statement.
Financial instruments — offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Capital and Reserves
Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued by the Group. Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
Retained profits include all current and prior period results as determined in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Foreign currency translation reserve arising on the translation are included in the currency translation reserve.
All transactions with owners of the Group are recorded separately within equity.
Earnings/(loss) per share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in loss periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The following estimates that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below.
F-21
NOTE 4 — SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impairment Losses
Impairment losses are based on an assessment of the investment or long-lived assets’ ability to generate future cash flows when there is evidence that these assets may be impaired. The calculation of the amount of impairment loss is based on estimates made by management when applying broad accounting principles governing the accounting for these assets. The determination of these estimates requires judgment by management. The final outcome may differ from the original estimates made by management, which may impact the carrying value of the assets which management has determined to be impaired and charged to the Company’s profit or loss during the period.
Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Income Tax
Significant judgment is involved in determining
the Group’s provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination
is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether
additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized,
such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. The carrying
amount of the Group’s income tax payable as at March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined 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. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
| Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 2: | Other than quoted prices that are observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| Level 3: | Inputs are unobservable and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our financial instruments consist of Level 1 and Level 2 assets.
F-22
NOTE 5 — KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets
The costs of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets to be within 5 years. These are the common life expectancies applied in the same industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation or amortization charges could be revised.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating-unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognized as an impairment loss in the income statement, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognized in the income statement, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and
2024, the Company recognized impairment losses of $
F-23
Allowance for expected credit losses
The calculation of the Group’s expected credit loss allowances and provisions against trade receivables, under IFRS 9 requires the Group to make a number of judgements, assumptions and estimates. The expected outcome may be different from the original estimate, and such difference will impact carrying value of trade receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been charged.
Critical judgements include:
| ● | Determining an appropriate definition of default against which a probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default parameter can be evaluated |
| ● | Establishing the criteria for a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) |
| ● | The individual assessment of material cases and the use of judgmental adjustments made to impairment modelling processes that adjust inputs, parameters and outputs to reflect risks not captured by models |
Key source of estimation uncertainty includes:
| ● | Base case and multiple economic scenarios (MES) assumptions, including the rate of unemployment and the rate of change of house prices, required for creation of MES scenarios and forward-looking credit parameters |
In accordance with the contracts, when the goods or services are delivered, the customers are due to pay the full amount of revenue. However, most customers may postpone paying the outstanding balance in one or two months after acceptance of the goods or services. In general, if a receivable’s ageing is more than 1 year, it is very possible to be uncollectable or with certain disputes. As such, the management will examine all balances longer than 1 year and distinguish which are in special events to be not collectable. The Company determines that any receivables with ageing longer than 2 year or any receivables identified by the management with special events to be uncollectable are deemed to be uncollectable and need to be written off.
As of March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company
did not identify any accounts receivable requiring write-off. All trade receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and 2025 were fully
collected in subsequent periods. Accordingly, no allowance for expected credit losses was recorded for the years ended March 31, 2024
and 2025. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, a receivable balance of $
Share-based payments
The Company measures the share-based payments value, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. As no active market for the Company’s equity value, the Company used discounted cash flow analyses for valuing the fair value and made estimates about expected future cash flows and credit spreads. Interest rate spreads, credit spreads, earnings multiples and interest rate volatility are the key sources of estimation, which may takes significant impact on the value of the share-based payments.
Lease liability
The Company uses estimation in determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability, specific to the asset, underlying currency, and geographic location. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the discount rate of the lease obligations are estimated using a discount rate similar to the Company’s specific borrowing rate. This rate represents the rate that the Company would incur to obtain the funds necessary to purchase the asset of a similar value, with similar payment terms and security in a similar environment. The Company applies judgement in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term.

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income
Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income represents the foreign currency translation difference arising from the translation of the financial statements of companies within the Group from their functional currency to the Group’s presentation currency.
NOTE 29 — RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES
| 1. | Capital risk |
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to owners through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged during the year.
The capital structure of the Group consisted of borrowings net of bank balances and cash, and equity attributable to owners of the Company comprising issued share capital and various reserves.
The directors of the Company review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the Group considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital, and will balance its overall capital through the payment of dividends, new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.
The Group monitors capital using the Gearing Ratio, which is net debt divided by total equity. Net debt represents borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. The Company met its objective by monitoring borrowing activities.
F-37
The Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

| 2. | Financial risk |
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, related parties receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, related parties payables, short-term loans and long-term bank loans. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include credit risk, market risk (interest rate risk and currency risk) and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
| 3. | Market risk |
| (i) | Foreign currency risk |
While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar,
substantially all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in HK$. Substantially all of our assets
are denominated in HK$. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected
by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the HK$. If the HK$ depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the
value of our HK$ revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities
are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and
equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but
are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of equity. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, our accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) was $(
| (ii) | Interest rate risk |
We deposit surplus funds with Hong Kong banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. Most of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. Our operations generally are not directly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates and we currently do not have any long-term debt outstanding. Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.
F-38
| 4. | Credit risk |
As at March 31, 2026, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to perform an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheet.
In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk on receivables in influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer therefore concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. In order to minimize the credit risk, management continuously monitors the level of exposure to ensure that follow-up actions and/or corrective actions are taken promptly to lower the risk exposure or to recover overdue balances.

| 6. | Fair value |
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.
The following table presents the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis, categorized into the three-level fair value hierarchy as defined in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The level into which a fair value measurement is classified is determined with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
| — | Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using only Level 1 inputs i.e. unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. | |
| — | Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using Level 2 inputs i.e. observable inputs which fail to meet Level 1, and not using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are inputs for which market data are not available. | |
| — | Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs. |
During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or transfers into or out of Level 3. The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period in which they occur.
Valuation techniques and inputs used in Level 2 fair value measurements
The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortized cost approximate their fair values.
