Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2026 and identified one material weakness and two significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2026. Based on the evaluation described above and in light of the material weakness and significant deficiencies identified, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2026. 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 the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A “significant deficiency” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting. The material weakness and significant deficiencies identified are as follows:
Insufficient Management Review Controls Over Financial Reporting Processes. The Company lacks sufficient management review controls to monitor the execution of financial reporting processes and to detect and prevent potential material misstatements in the financial statements. This material weakness relates to the Company’s lack of an adequate internal review function to monitor control execution, which may lead to material audit adjustments to the financial statements.
Lack of Dedicated Personnel with Specialized US GAAP Reporting Expertise. The Company’s finance team includes personnel with Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”) credentials and extensive financial reporting experience; however, the Company does not currently
have dedicated personnel with specialized expertise in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) financial statement preparation and disclosure, particularly with respect to complex accounting standards. This deficiency arises from recent personnel changes in the finance function, including the resignation of the Chief Financial Officer, and the Company’s size and resource constraints as a small business.
Inability to Obtain SOC 2 Report from FedEx. The Company’s revenue recognition process, financial reporting, and operational activities are fully dependent on proprietary systems owned and maintained by FedEx (the Company’s key counterparty), including FedEx Software, leased Scanners, and the My Ground Biz Account platform. These systems are critical to the Company’s ability to track service activity, confirm workload, verify pricing, and fulfill its financial reporting obligations. As of the end of the reporting period, the Company has been unable to obtain a Service Organization Control (“SOC”) 2 report from FedEx. A SOC 2 report assesses the effectiveness of FedEx’s controls over the security, availability, and confidentiality of its systems-controls that are critical to ensuring the reliability of the data generated by FedEx’s systems and used by the Company in its financial reporting. This deficiency impairs the Company’s ability to independently verify the effectiveness of FedEx’s controls over the systems that are core to the Company’s financial reporting process. Without a SOC 2 report, the Company cannot fully assess the security, availability, or confidentiality of FedEx’s systems, which increases the risk of: (i) inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely data (e.g., workload counts, pricing information) used in revenue recognition and financial reporting; (ii) system outages or data breaches that disrupt the Company’s financial reporting process; and (iii) the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm being unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the reliability of FedEx system-generated data, which could result in a scope limitation in the audit of the Company’s financial statements.
Neither of the two significant deficiencies has resulted in a material misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the reporting period.
Following the identification of the material weakness and two significant deficiencies described above, we are taking comprehensive remedial measures to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s finance team is in the process of developing and implementing financial procedures and entity-level controls designed to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. These efforts include the design and execution of robust financial closing policies and procedures, as well as the institution of an effective internal review process to monitor control execution. The Company is also actively engaging with FedEx to request access to Service Organization Control (SOC) 1 and SOC 2 reports to obtain independent assurance over controls supporting FedEx’s systems that affect the Company’s revenue recognition process; however, there is no guarantee that FedEx will provide such reports in a timely manner, or at all. To further strengthen our financial reporting function and control framework, the Company plans to implement additional remedial measures as necessary, including (i) enhancing U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training for its accounting and financial reporting personnel; (ii) hiring more qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience; and (iii) engaging an external consulting firm to assist our assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of our overall internal control.
In addition, Mr. Huaqin He, one of the Company’s independent directors, is a professor at the College of Life Sciences of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University with a major expertise in data analytics and systematic research, which can support the Company’s development in digital logistics, operational optimization, and technology-driven decision-making. Another independent director, Ms. Huanhuan Tian, has extensive experience in financial management, auditing, IPO preparation, and corporate compliance.
The implementation of the remedial measures described above may not fully address the material weakness or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to correct these control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as the term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
