Sales of in-park recreation

For the six months ended March 31, 2025, revenue from sales of in-park recreation decreased by $9,792,800 compared to the same period in 2024. Such decrease was mainly because all the amusement parks were leased to third-party operators in November and December 2024. The Company transitioned from amusement park operator to amusement park lessor.

Rental income

For the six months ended March 31, 2025, rental income increased by $4,126,448 compared to the same period in 2024. Such increase was mainly because the rental payment from all the amusement parks were leased to third-party. Tongling Amusement Parks leased to third-party on November 12, 2024 to November 11, 2034 and the rental payment is RMB30.00 million per year. Qujing Amusement Parks leased to third-party on December 23, 2024 to December 22, 2034 and the rental payment is RMB7.00 million per year. Yueyang Amusement Parks leased to third-party on November 12, 2024 to November 11, 2034 and the rental payment is RMB20.00 million per year. Yuxi Amusement Parks leased to third-party on December 23, 2024 to December 22, 2034 and the rental payment is RMB22.00 million per year. Changde Amusement Parks leased to third-party on December 23, 2024 to December 22, 2034 and the rental payment is RMB23.00 million per year The rent shall increase annually by 2% starting from the second year.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue decreased by $1,701,896, or 25.62%, from $6,642,323 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $4,940,427 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in costs of revenue was mainly due to reduction in maintenance and utility costs, depreciation, utilities and salary.

Gross Profit

For the six months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit decreased by approximately $3,964,456 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily because all the amusement parks were leased to third-party operators in November and December 2024.

The gross profit margin decreased from 51.95% for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to 39.44% for the six months ended March 31, 2025. No sales of in-park recreation revenue from January to March 2025 and the Company’s business model has changed, and the amusement park has been leased to the same third party, resulting in associated costs in 2025.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses increased by $9,538,269, or 260.53%, from $3,661,056 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $ 13,199,325 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase of approximately $9.86 million in general and administrative expenses, or G&A expenses. The increase in G&A expenses during this period was primarily attributable to share-based compensation expenses recognized in connection with the grant of 5,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares priced at $1.87 per share on December 10, 2024. The Company recorded an expense of $9.35 million in the six months ended 2025.

Other (expense) income, net

Our other expense, net was $84,769 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other income, net of $471,566 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment due to disposal of fixed assets for Mangshi in 2024. (ii) a decrease primarily reflects the shorter recognition period for forfeited recharge balances in the current year, as the amusement park operations ceased around January 2025.

Income tax expense

Our income tax expense decreased by $879,792, or 60.74%, from $1,448,480 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 to $568,688 for the six months ended March 31, 2025. We are subject to the standard income tax rate of 25% under the PRC tax laws.

Net income/(loss)

Our net loss was $10,635,248 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $2,544,020 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. It was due to share-based compensation expenses recognized in connection with the grant of 5,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares priced at $1.87 per share on December 10, 2024. Excluding $9.35 million of share based expenses, the Company reported a net loss $1.29 million.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $67.77 million. Our working capital has historically been generated from our operating cash flows, advances from our customers and loans from bank facilities. Our working capital of approximately $87.07 million and total shareholders’ equity of approximately $113.70 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.83 million, working capital of approximately $54.80 million and total shareholders’ equity of approximately $83.72 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024.

Recent Developments

Three putative class action lawsuits were filed on December 8, 2023, December 19, 2023 and January 17, 2024 by certain shareholders against the Company, our then Chief Executive Officer, Qiong Jin, our then Chief Financial Officer, Jinguang Gong and our independent directors in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Case No. 161978/2023) (“New York Supreme Court Matter”) and United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:23-cv-10619-HDV-SK and Case No. 2:24-cv-00423-SVW-AJR). The above three complaints filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded securities of the Company during the class period assert claims that plaintiffs were economically damaged, and generally allege that the referenced defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making allegedly false and misleading statements regarding, among other matters, the Company’s business operations, management, financial condition and prospects. Plaintiffs in the matter filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California filed motion to consolidate the two matters and appoint lead plaintiff and lead counsel. The Court held a hearing on the motions on April 11, 2024, consolidated the actions, appointed Rahul Patange (“Patange”) as Lead Plaintiff in the consolidated action, and Pomerantz LLP as lead counsel. The consolidated action will now proceed under the Case No. 2:23-cv-10619-HDV-SK (“Central District of California Matter”). The Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 16, 2024. The above complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded securities of the Company during the class period asserts claims that the plaintiffs were economically damaged, and generally alleges that the defendants violated sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, by making allegedly inaccurate, untrue and misleading statements regarding, among other matters, the Company’s business operations, management, financial condition and prospects. Plaintiffs amended the Supreme Court of the State of New York complaint on February 14, 2024. On April 15, 2024, Revere Securities, LLC and R.L. Lafferty & Co. (collectively, the “Underwriter Defendants”) filed a cross-claim in the New York matter against the Company for indemnification pursuant to the Underwriter Agreement dated, April 11, 2023. The Company is actively conducting a legal internal investigation pertaining to the allegations presented in these complaints. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has filed an answer to the Supreme Court of the State of New York amended complaint and the Underwriter Defendants’ cross-claims. The Company strongly denies any wrongdoing, and intends to continue to vigorously defend both the New York Supreme Court Matter and the Central District of California Matter. Since the lawsuits are still in the preliminary stage, the Company is currently unable to estimate the potential outcome, if any, associated with the resolution of the lawsuits.
