MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) and related notes that appear in this interim report. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Li Bang International Corporation Inc. (“Li Bang International”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 8, 2021. Li Bang International and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “we”) conduct its operations in China through its operating subsidiaries in China. Our main business is to design, develop, produce and sell stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment in China under our “Li Bang” brand. Additionally, we provide customers with comprehensive services, from commercial kitchen design in the early stage to equipment installation and after-sales maintenance.

 

Our production plant in China is more than 10,000 square meters. We use modern production facilities and state-of-the-art procedures. Furthermore, as a new technology enterprise in Jiangsu Province, we fall within the scope of advanced technology enterprises that benefit from key national support for residential companies that employ continuous R&D activities and transformational technical achievements to form core independent intellectual property rights. On this basis, we carry out our business activities within the PRC and enjoy the advantage of a 15% preferential corporate income tax rate for companies that have been registered for more than one year. Our Company approaches technology R&D as the keystone principle to obtain new national invention patents, utility model patents, and for passing a number of system certifications. We have earned a great reputation in the industry by having our products featured in the Government Energy-Saving Equipment Catalog. The future of R&D in the manufacturing sector of commercial kitchen appliance equipment will trend toward automation, scale, service integration, intelligence, energy conservation, and environmental protection, and we expect our market prospects will be broader.

 

Our Operating Subsidiaries mainly undertake projects of middle- and high-end customer groups by bidding on contracts. Our customer base consists of international hotels, companies, public institutions, educational institutions, hospitals, and other facilities. Our Operating Subsidiaries provide customized design solutions for different types of customer groups. In addition, our Operating Subsidiaries have qualifications and certificates of professional engineering construction and installation so that our Operating Subsidiaries can provide independent installation services.

  

Our Operating Subsidiaries sell products and provide services under our “Li Bang” brand, and our income comes from these sales, of which installation and after-sales services do not separately generate revenue. Our Operating Subsidiaries established sustainable business relationships with clients in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang by setting up branches and subsidiaries to provide after-sales services for local projects. In addition, Our Operating Subsidiaries are also actively building our sales network and client base in Shenzhen and Beijing, the sixth and second largest cities in China, respectively.

 

At the same time, Our Operating Subsidiaries always pay attention to the extension of services after the delivery of commercial kitchen equipment with our existing clients. Our Operating Subsidiaries vigorously promote our after-sales service module, providing technical consultation, training and guidance, post-sale upgrades, and other comprehensive supporting services to increase customer loyalty. The reputation we foster by doing so is conducive to enlarging our client base through gaining new customers.

 

Our Operating Subsidiaries are committed to making innovative and high-quality kitchen appliance products, and strive to become a first-class commercial kitchen appliance manufacturer in China. Our goal is to develop into a household name brand synonymous with the products we manufacture.

On July 8, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved a Memorandum and Articles of Association, pursuant to which 500,000,000 shares were authorized as ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 per share, and the Company issued 10,000 ordinary shares. On July 15, 2022, in connection with the reorganization, the Company issued 16,990,000 ordinary shares which was treated as a stock split. The Company issued:

 

  12,801,000 ordinary shares to Maple Huang Holdings Limited;

Of the 17,000,000 outstanding ordinary shares, 75.3% are owned by Maple Huang Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands(“BVI”) company, controlled by Huang Feng, our CEO and Chairman of the Board; and 15.5% are owned by Funa Lee Holdings Limited, a BVI company, controlled by Li Funa, Huang Feng’s spouse. Therefore, Huang Feng beneficially owns 90.8% of the Company.

 

On July 26, 2021, Li Bang International formed its wholly owned subsidiary, Li Bang International Hong Kong Holdings Limited (“Li Bang HK”) in Hong Kong. On August 18, 2021, Li Bang HK formed its wholly owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Li Bang Intelligent Technology Co., Limited (“Li Bang Intelligent Technology” or “WOFE”) in PRC.

 

Suzhou Deji Kitchen Engineering Co., Limited (“Suzhou Deji”), a limited liability company incorporated on April 8, 2010 under the laws of China, became a Li Bang Intelligent Technology’s wholly-owned subsidiary on November 24, 2021. Wuxi Li Bang Kitchen Appliance Co., Limited (“Wuxi Li Bang”), a limited liability company incorporated on May 18, 2007 under the laws of China, became a Li Bang Intelligent Technology’s wholly-owned subsidiary on December 23, 2021. Li Bang Kitchen Appliance Co., Limited (“Li Bang Kitchen Appliance”), a limited liability company incorporated on March 22, 2019 under the laws of China, became a Li Bang Intelligent Technology’s wholly-owned subsidiary on December 24, 2021. On December 2, 2019, Li Bang Kitchen Appliance established Yangzhou Bangshijie Kitchen Appliance Co., Ltd. (“Yangzhou Bangshijie”), holding 90% of its equity interests.

Reorganization

 

The Reorganization involved the incorporation of Li Bang International and Li Bang Intelligent Technology, and the transfer of the 100% equity interest of Li Bang Kitchen Appliance, Suzhou Deji and Wuxi Li Bang. Consequently, Li Bang International, through its subsidiary Li Bang HK, directly controls Li Bang Kitchen Appliance, Suzhou Deji and Wuxi Li Bang, and became the ultimate holding company of all other entities mentioned above.

 

The Reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization among entities under common control since the controlling shareholder, Huang Feng, controlled these entities before and after the Reorganization. The Company’s consolidation was accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in our consolidated financial statements

 

Our current corporate structure is as follows: 

 

 

We generate revenues primarily from providing project and retail sales. Our total revenues increased by approximately $0.99 million or 26.5%, from $3.73 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to approximately $4.72 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Our gross profit increased by approximately $0.23 million or 37.5% from approximately $0.61 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, to $0.84 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Gross margin increased by 1.4%, to 17.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, from 16.4% for the same period in 2023. We had net loss of approximately $1.13 million and approximately $1.46 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

Government policies may impact our business and operating results.

 

We have not seen any significant impact of unfavorable government policies upon our business in recent years. However, our business and operating results will be affected by the overall economic growth and government policies in the PRC, and our products are currently eligible for certain favorable government tax and other incentives. Unfavorable changes in government policies and these incentives could affect the demand for our products and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. However, we will seek to make adjustments as required if and when government policies shift.

 

Exchange rate fluctuations may significantly impact our business and profitability.

 

All of our operations are in the PRC. Thus, our revenue and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and U.S. dollars. For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $33,981 and translation gain of $102,560 respectively, because of changes in the exchange rates. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $79,844 and translation loss of $417,717 respectively, because of changes in the exchange rates.

Selling expenses were $423,228 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $54,819, or 14.9%, from $368,409 for the comparable period in 2023. The net increase was mainly due to the increase in market expansion fees and project bidding fees, which consistent with the revenue growth during the period.

General and administrative expenses may increase due to higher compliance and management requirements after the Company’s IPO.

 

Provision for expected credit losses

 

Our provision for expected credit losses was $135,456 for the six months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $207,086 or 60.5%, from $342,542 for the comparable period in 2023.

Income tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to the net loss incurred in this period, and management only recognized deferred tax assets (DTA) and income tax benefit related to the expected credit losses.

 

Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the full allowance of DTA that was provisioned in previous years.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of net income that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company from the controlling shareholder. For the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, non-controlling interests represent a minority shareholder’s 10% and 5% ownership interest in Yangzhou Bangshijie and Nanjing Bangshijie, respectively.

Net loss attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders decreased by $336,660, or 23% from $1,461,698 for the six months ended December 31, 2023, to $1,125,038 for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity are generated from our operations, bank loans and equity financing. As of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, we had cash of $1,094,269 and $153,914 respectively. Our current assets were $20,314,190 and $15,718,168 as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Our current liabilities were $10,952,735 and $17,018,014 as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Our current ratios as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were 1.85 and 0.92, respectively. Total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 was $7,754,704 and $4,316,848, respectively.

 

In assessing liquidity, we monitored and analyzed our cash flow requirements, our ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations and timing of accounts receivable collections. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of approximately $1.1 million and outstanding bank loans of approximately $10.6 million. If the we require additional funding to finance our operations, our major shareholders indicated their intent and ability to provide such financial support. Based on our current operating activities, we believe the operating activities and existing funds can provide sufficient liquidity for us to meet future liquidity and working capital requirement for at least 12 months through December 31, 2025.

 

Our capital needs are for daily operations and for financing the development of our business. With the uncertainty of the current market and macroeconomic conditions, our management believes it is necessary to enhance collection of outstanding accounts receivable and other receivables, and to be cautious on operational decisions and project selection. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. Our management is confident that the Company’s accounts receivable and other receivables are collectable.

We may also raise additional capital through public offerings or private placements to finance our business development and to consummate any merger or acquisition, if necessary. Such transfer of funds from Li Bang International or any of our offshore subsidiaries to our PRC Subsidiaries is subject to the PRC regulatory restrictions and procedures: (i) the capital increase of the existing PRC Subsidiaries and establishment of new PRC Subsidiaries must be either filed with or approved by the Ministry of Commerce, or its local counterparts depending on whether the business of the PRC subsidiary is subject to restrictions with respect to foreign investment under the PRC law, and registered with local banks authorized by State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”); and (ii) loans to any of our PRC Subsidiaries must not exceed the statutory limits and must be filed with SAFE.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our CFS are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those estimates that may have a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to our CFS. We base our estimates and judgment on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

 

  (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

 

  (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material.

 

There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

For a detailed description of our significant accounting policies and related judgments, please see Note 3. You should read the following description of critical accounting estimates in conjunction with our CFS and other disclosures included in our annual report for the year ended June 30, 2024.

 

Expected Credit Losses

 

Nature of estimate: Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” requires us to record the full amount of expected credit losses for the life of a financial asset at the time it is originated or acquired, adjusted for subsequent changes in expected lifetime credit losses.

 

Assumptions: The Company assesses collectability by reviewing receivables on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist, primarily based on the size and nature of specific customers’ receivables. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Our allowance for expected credit losses is based on its assumptions regarding the probability of default. The expected probability of payment and time to default, which include assumptions about macroeconomic factors and customers’ performance. We recognized $135,456 and $342,542 expected credit losses of receivables and advances to suppliers for the six-months period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Our estimate of the key assumptions did not change significantly throughout the periods presented.
