Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Current report

Starting in this fiscal year, we have expanded into global trade of bulk chrome and manganese ore by sourcing high-grade minerals directly from resource-rich regions for resale. We intend to utilize optimized bulk vessel and container shipping, and provide end-to-end supply chain solutions for metallurgical and steelmaking customers. The introduction of the mineral trade business is expected to generate operational and strategic synergies with our existing logistics business lines, enhancing overall efficiency and value creation.

Current report

Development of Our Mineral Trading Business. In addition to our global logistics services, we have recently expanded into mineral trading, under which we source mineral products at competitive prices and resell them to downstream customers. The successful performance of this new business line will depend on a number of factors. First, our ability to identify reliable upstream suppliers and obtain stable mineral supply at favorable prices is critical to maintaining adequate margins. Volatility in global commodity prices, changes in supply–demand dynamics, or disruptions in mineral production regions could significantly affect our purchase costs and profitability. Second, our mineral trading activities rely heavily on maritime logistics, and we seek to utilize our own arranged shipping whenever possible to optimize cost efficiency. Therefore, increases in freight rates, port congestion, vessel availability, geopolitical tensions affecting sea routes, or unexpected disruptions in international logistics may materially impact our operating results. Third, mineral trading is subject to various international trade, customs, and inspection regulations. Any changes in export or import controls, environmental or product-quality requirements, sanctions, or other compliance obligations could restrict our ability to trade certain minerals or increase compliance costs. If we are unable to secure stable sources of mineral products at reasonable prices, or if logistics conditions or regulatory requirements become less favorable, our financial performance and growth prospects related to this business line may be materially and adversely affected.

Current report

For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our total revenue increased significantly to $3,818,277 from $2,980,940 for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the launch of our global mineral trading business, which contributed $505,465 to our total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2025, representing approximately 13% of our revenue in the first quarter ended October 31, 2025.Revenue generated from our core global logistics services increased $456,188, or 16%, to $3,215,881 from $2,759,693. The logistics service revenue represented 84% of our total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2025. The increase in logistics service revenue was attributable to our continuing effort to expand our customer base in the service regions. The increase was partially offset by a $124,366 decrease in other services revenue.

Current report

Total cost of revenue increased by 25% from $2,752,509 to $3,433,976 for the three months ended October 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the launch of our new global mineral trading business as we source mineral products from suppliers. Cost of logistics services increased $490,792, or 19%, which was in line with the increase in logistics business revenue in the same period.

Current report

Our total gross profit increased by $155,820 to $384,251 for the three months ended October 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the launch of our global mineral trading business. For the three months ended October 31, 2025, our overall gross profit margin was 10.06%, an increase from gross profit margin of 7.66% for the three months ended October 31, 2024. Gross profit margin for the quarter increased primarily due to the contribution from our newly launched mineral trading business, which generated a meaningful margin for the period. Although our consulting services continue to yield the highest gross margin among our business lines, its overall impact on total gross margin remains limited due to its relatively small revenue contribution. Gross margin from our core logistic service operations declined compared to the same period last year, mainly because we faced more intense price competition in the market recently. In addition, a larger portion of the shipping services we provided during the quarter consisted of short- and mid-haul routes, which typically generate lower margins than long-haul routes. Going forward, our overall gross margin level will depend largely on our ability to optimize our route mix and on the revenue contribution and margin profile of our expanding mineral trading operations.

Current report

Net cash of $727,403 used in operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2025 was primarily the result of our net loss of $ 268,874, an increase of $582,912 in inventory, and an increase of $295,485 in accounts receivable. These factors were partially offset by a decrease of $153,127 in prepayment and other current assets, an increase of $155,000 in advances from customers, and an increase of $158,291 in accounts payable.

Current report

Net cash of $15,211 used in operating activities for the three months ended October 31, 2024 was primarily the result of our net loss of $91,948, partially offset by a $73,768 increase in accrued liabilities and other payables.

Current report

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was nil and $74,125, which was attributable to the payment of the fees directly relating to our recent public offering.

Comparison of the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

Our total revenue increased slightly by 0.4%, or $7,869, to $1,948,215 for the three months ended April 30, 2025, from $1,940,346 for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to an increase of $27,751 on other revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $19,882 in revenue from logistics services.

Previous report

Our total revenue increased by 13.8%, or $847,236, to $7,008,358 for the nine months ended April 30, 2025, from $6,161,122 for the nine months ended April 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increasing customer base, especially the number of high-paying customers that each contributed more than $100,000 in this period.

Previous report

As we pivoted to the logistics service business, our revenue streams for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 are categorized as follows: the logistics service revenue represented 98% and 96% of our total revenue in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, respectively. We believe this trend will continue as we keep growing our logistics business line, and the proportion of our historical product and other services revenue is likely to keep decreasing.

Previous report

Total cost of revenues increased by 11.5% from $1,695,639 to $1,890,232 for the three months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to same period last year. Total cost of revenue increased by 24.3% from $5,343,534 to $6,641,966 for the nine months ended April 30, 2025. The change was in line with changes in revenue in each period. However, the rate of cost increase has outpaced that of revenue in the same period as we continue to experience growing costs from our logistics vendors but kept our service price to our customers relatively stable.

Previous report

Our gross profit decreased from $244,707 to $57,983 for the three months and from $817,588 to $366,392 for the nine months ended April 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to a higher growth rate on logistics costs as compared to the growth rate on logistics revenue as we continue to experience rising logistics costs while our service price remains relatively stable. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025, our overall gross profit margin was 2.98% and 5.23%, respectively, a reduction from gross margins of 12.61% and 13.27% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024. We are currently adopting a customer-friendly pricing strategy to build up our market share quickly. As we continue to grow, we plan to further diversify our service region to include long-distance shipping lines, which generally produce higher profit margins as compared to short-distance shipping lines within East Asia. Our negotiation power over service vendors would also grow as our business grows, and vice versa.

Previous report

Net cash of $2,000,182 used in operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 was primarily the result of net loss of $1,162,328, an increase of $166,752 in accounts receivable, an increase of $723,733 in prepaid expense, and a decrease of $51,920 in income taxes payable, a decrease of $53,861 on accrued liabilities following the payments from the Company, partially offset by a non-cash payment adjustment of $158,412 representing the value of the warrant issuance to our underwriter.

Previous report

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 was $5,217,937, which is primarily from our initial public offerings in the net amount of $5,439,333, partially offset by repayment of $10,771 to a related party and accrual of $219,125 in deferred offering costs upon the closing of our initial public offering.

Our performance of operations and financial conditions have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by a number of factors which are set forth below.

Current wording

Our performance of operations and financial conditions have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by a multitude of factors. Among the significant factors are:

Previous wording

Economic Conditions in Hong Kong. We are a Nevada company with operations conducted by our subsidiary Roshing, which is based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, if Hong Kong experiences any adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions due to events beyond our control, such as local economic downturn, natural disasters, contagious disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks, or if the government adopts regulations that place restrictions or burdens on us or on our industry in general, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

Previous wording

International Trade Environment. The demand for our shipping operation services is driven by the levels of international trade, which is in turn affected by global political, economic or social conditions. Any changes in a particular country’s trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, potentially eventually resulting in a trade war, which could increase the cost of goods and thus reduce customer demand for products if the parties have to pay tariffs which increase their prices or if trading partners limit their trade with the particular country. Our business is also susceptible to downturns and disruptions in the business activities of their direct customers that are beyond their control. If sales in a particular geographical market in which our direct customers operate decline, due to unstable regional and/or global political and economic conditions, such decline will likely lead to a corresponding plunge in the international trade volume which, in turn, could reduce the demand for freight forward services and adversely affect our results of operations.

There was a significant increase in operating expenses in the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the last year. Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, commissions, advertising, rent and professional fees relating to our obligations as a public company. There was an increase of $826,110 in our general and administrative expenses, from $134,473 for the three months ended April 30, 2024 to $960,583 in the three months ended April 30, 2025. There was an increase of $1,002,288 in our general and administrative expenses, from $389,899 for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 to $1,392,187 for the nine months ended April 30, 2025. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to 1) a charge of $166,667 as we entered into a merger & acquisition advisory service agreement with a service vendor for identifying qualified logistics service target companies; 2) a charge of $166,667 as we entered into a public relations service agreement with a service vendor to manage our public relations as a Nasdaq listed public company; 3) a one-time cash bonus of $200,000 to certain managements for successfully completing our initial public offering; 4) a representative warrant with a value of $158,412 that we issued to our underwriter upon completion of the initial public offering, the warrant having vested immediately and being exercisable in six months after issuance; and 5) an increase of $76,035 in accounting and audit related expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in selling and marketing expenses, which were $63,700 and $163,924 for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2025, as compared to $91,950 and $163,924 for the same periods in last fiscal year.

The change was due to the loss we incurred this year as a result of increase in operating expenses.

Current wording

Our income tax expenses amounted to $0 and $2,189 for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change was due to the loss we incurred this year as a result of increases in operating expenses.

Previous wording

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred net losses of $959,409 and $1,162,328 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025. As the Company owns only 90% of its operating subsidiary, Roshing, 10% of the net income realized by Roshing was attributed to the minority interest. Therefore, the net loss for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2025 attributable to the shareholders of the Company was $947,987 and $1,154,394, respectively. In comparison, during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $38,797 and a net income of $55,805.

Current wording

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $268,874 and a net loss of $91,948 for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

We started providing shipping & freight forwarding services in 2023. Although the business grew quickly, we may require significant capital expenditure, such as acquiring transportation assets, for developing our market share. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
