SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements that relate to our current expectations and views of future events. These forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Industry Overview” and “Business.” These statements relate to events that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors,” which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” “seek,” “estimate,” “will,” “aim” and “anticipate”, or other similar expressions, but these are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this document, including those regarding future financial position and results, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations (including development plans and dividends) and statements on future industry growth are forward-looking statements. In addition, we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements which are forward-looking statements, including in our periodic reports that we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), other information sent to our shareholders and other written materials.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors.”

YCM’s appointment as the Company’sindependent registered public accounting firm for the financial year ended May 31, 2025 was ratified by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on June 9, 2025.

Notice of Failure to File Interim Balance Sheet and Income Statement as of the End of Second Quarter on Form 6-K and Subsequent Filing and Compliance

On June 3, 2025, we received a deficiency notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC stating that we had not yet filed our interim balance sheet and income statement as of the end of our most recent second quarter and thus no longer complied with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing.

On June 5, 2025, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, including our balance sheet for the six-month period ended November 30, 2024 and our income statement for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2024 and 2023.

On June 9, 2025, we received a compliance letter from Nasdaq informing us that we had regained compliance with the periodic filing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), and that we were therefore in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements. Accordingly, our Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Nasdaq considers the matter closed.

Notice of Failure to Comply with the Bid Price Requirement to Continue Listing on Nasdaq and Subsequent Compliance

On December 12, 2024, we had been notified by Nasdaq that our Ordinary Shares failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq’s Listing. Nasdaq later determined that for the eleven consecutive business days from May 16 through June 2, 2025, the closing bid price of our Ordinary Shares had been at $1.00 per share or greater.

On June 3, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq informing us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s bid price requirement in Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and that we therefore were in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements. Accordingly, our Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Nasdaq considers the matter closed.

Initial Public Offering

On August 28, 2024, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,750,000 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of US$5.00 per share. Total net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, expense allowance and related IPO expenses, were approximately $6.7 million. Our Ordinary Shares began trading on August 27, 2024 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “JBDI.”
