NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principle of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Green New Jersey, Jinong, Gufeng, Tianjuyuan, Yuxing and Antaeus.
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective June 16, 2013, Yuxing was converted
from being a wholly owned foreign enterprise 100% owned by Jinong to a domestic enterprise 100% owned one natural person, who is not affiliated
to the Company (“Yuxing’s Owner”). Effective the same day, Yuxing’s Owner entered into a series of contractual
agreements with Jinong pursuant to which Yuxing became a VIE associated with Jinong.
VIE assessment
A VIE is an entity (1) that has total equity at
risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (2) where
the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s
economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the entity’s expected
residual returns, or both, or (3) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected
losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity’s
activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. In order to determine
if an entity is considered a VIE, the Company first performs a qualitative analysis, which requires certain subjective decisions regarding
its assessments, including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass
along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties, and the purpose of the arrangement. If the Company cannot conclude after a qualitative
analysis whether an entity is a VIE, it performs a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis considered the design of the entity,
the risks that cause variability, the purpose for which the entity was created, and the variability that the entity was designed to pass
along to its variable interest holders. When the primary beneficiary could not be identified through a qualitative analysis, we used internal
cash flow models to compute and allocate expected losses or expected residual returns to each variable interest holder based upon the
relative contractual rights and preferences of each interest holder in the VIE’s capital structure.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these
estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results and outcomes may differ from
management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a
lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement based
on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is typically not readily determinable in the Company’s
lease agreements, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of
the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the Company’s specific rate of interest to borrow on a collateralized
basis, over a similar term and in a similar economic environment as the lease. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease
expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company accounts for lease and non-lease components
as a single lease component for its identified asset classes. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have any material leases
for the implementation of ASC 842.
Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of cash
For statement of cash flows purposes, the Company
considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with state owned banks in the PRC and banks in the United States, and
other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company
maintains large sums of cash in three major banks in China. The aggregate cash in such accounts and on hand as of September 30, 2024 and
June 30, 2024 were $51,274,540 and $58,433,626, respectively. There is no insurance securing these deposits in China. In addition,
the Company also had $203,032 and $338,961 in cash in three banks in the United States as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Cash overdraft as of balance sheet date will be reflected as liabilities in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Digital assets
Digital assets are included
in current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Digital assets are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets,
and are initially measured in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 – Intangibles-Goodwill
and Other. The Company measures gains or losses on the disposition of digital assets in accordance with the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”)
method of accounting.
Digital assets are not
amortized, but are assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that
it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Whenever the exchange-traded price of digital assets
declines below its carrying value, the Company has determined that an impairment exists and records an impairment equal to the amount
by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
As of September
30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company held Bitcoin as digital assets with amount of $11,225 and $53,693 respectively. Bitcoin is classified
on our balance sheet as a current asset due to the Company’s ability to sell it in a highly liquid marketplace and its intent to
liquidate its Bitcoin to support operations when needed.
Accounts receivable
Management regularly reviews the composition of
accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate
the adequacy of these reserves at each year-end. Accounts considered uncollectible are provisioned for /written off based upon management’s
assessment. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company had accounts receivable of $22,322,256 and $16,493,068, net of allowance
for doubtful accounts of $24,199,086 and $22,741,696, respectively. The impact of COVID-19 caused the difficulty of accounts receivable
collection from 2020 as numerous distributors encountered significant difficulties and/or hardships in their businesses amid the pandemic.
The Company recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $632,074 and $(538,416) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The Company adopts no policy to accept product returns after the sales delivery.
Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (determined
on a weighted average basis) or market. Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and packaging materials.
The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary. As of September
30, 2024, and 2023, the Company had no reserve for obsolete goods. The Company confirmed the loss of $2.0 million and $2.4 million of
inventories for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The Company records intangible assets acquired
individually or as part of a group at fair value. Intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over the useful life of the intangible
asset, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the entity’s future cash flows.
The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount
by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of September 30, 2024
and 2023, respectively.
Customer deposits
Payments received before all the relevant criteria
for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits. When all revenue recognition criteria are met, the customer deposits
are recognized as revenue. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company had customer deposits of $7,320,054 and $4,937,207,
respectively.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using
the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share consist of the
following:

Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting
pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s
financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its Consolidated Financial Statements
and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect
the change.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which establishes
accounting guidance for crypto assets meeting certain criteria. Bitcoin meets these criteria. The amendments require crypto assets meeting
the criteria to be recognized at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. Upon adoption, a cumulative-effect
adjustment is made to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. ASU 2023-08
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact on its disclosures.
NOTE 3 – GOING CERCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash
flows during the reporting period from July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024 and may continue to incur operating losses and generate
negative cash flows as the Company implements its future business plan. If the situation exists, there could be substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern depends upon whether the Company can successfully execute its business strategies to recover from loss and eventually attain profitable
operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.

NOTE 11 – TAXES PAYABLE
Enterprise Income Tax
Effective January 1, 2008, the Enterprise Income
Tax (“EIT”) law of the PRC replaced the tax laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DEs”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises
(“FIEs”). The EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate that was applicable to both DEs and FIEs. The two-year tax exemption and
three-year 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs was eliminated. Since January 1, 2008, Jinong became subject to
income tax in China at a rate of 15% as a high-tech company, because of the expiration of its tax exemption on December 31, 2007. Accordingly,
it made no provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Value-Added Tax
All the Company’s fertilizer products that
are produced and sold in the PRC were subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 13% of the gross sales price. On April 29, 2008, the
PRC State of Administration of Taxation (SAT) released Notice #56, “Exemption of VAT for Organic Fertilizer Products”,
which allows certain fertilizer products to be exempt from VAT beginning June 1, 2008. The Company submitted the application for exemption
in May 2009, which was granted effective September 1, 2009, continuing through December 31, 2015. On August 10, 2015 and August 28, 2015,
the SAT released Notice #90. “Reinstatement of VAT for Fertilizer Products”, and Notice #97, “Supplementary
Reinstatement of VAT for Fertilizer Products”, which restore the VAT of 13% of the gross sales price on certain fertilizer products
includes non-organic fertilizer products starting from September 1, 2015, but granted taxpayers a reduced rate of 3% from September 1,
2015 through June 30, 2016.
On April 28, 2017, the PRC State of Administration
of Taxation (SAT) released Notice 2017 #37, “Notice on Policy of Reduced Value Added Tax Rate,” under which, effective
July 1, 2017, all the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax
(VAT) of 11% of the gross sales price. The tax rate was reduced 2% from 13%.
On April 4, 2018, the PRC State of Administration
of Taxation (SAT) released Notice 2018 #32, “Notice on Adjustment of VAT Tax Rate,” under which, effective May 1, 2018,
all the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 10%
of the gross sales price. The tax rate was reduced 1% from 11%.
On March 20, 2019, the PRC State of Administration
of Taxation (SAT) released Notice 2019 #39, “Announcement on Policies Concerning Deepening the Reform of Value Added Tax,”
under which, effective April 1, 2019, all the Company’s fertilizer products that are produced and sold in the PRC are subject to
a Chinese Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 9% of the gross sales price. The tax rate was reduced 1% from 10%.

NOTE 13 – CONCENTRATIONS AND LITIGATION
Market Concentration
The majority of the Company’s revenue-generating
operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced
by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are
subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe.
These include risks associated with, among other things, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange.
The Company’s results may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
Vendor and Customer Concentration
There was one vendor that the Company purchased over 10% of its raw
materials with an aggregate amount of $1,002,911, or 13.2%, for fertilizer manufacturing during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
There were three vendors that the Company purchased over 10% of its
raw materials with an aggregate amount of $6,878,429, or 10.7%, 10.5%, and 10.1%, respectively, for fertilizer manufacturing during the
three months ended September 30, 2023.
No customer accounted for over 10% of the Company’s sales for
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Litigation
On May 28, 2024, an individual commenced a lawsuit
in Texas state court against the Company and its former co-CEO, Mr. Zhibiao Pan. The individual alleges that the Company used funds he
stored in cryptocurrency wallets operated by entities related to Mr. Pan to purchase cryptocurrency mining sites. The Company intends
to move to dismiss the lawsuit. The Company has engaged counsel and negotiated an extension to enable investigation of this matter, and
will be responding to the lawsuit in December 2024.
There are no other actions, suits, proceedings,
inquiries or investigations before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such,
in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
NOTE 14 – SEGMENT REPORTING
As of September 30, 2024, the Company was organized
into four main business segments based on location and product: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production), Yuxing
(agricultural products production) and Antaeus (Bitcoin). Each of the four operating segments referenced above has separate and distinct
general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) receives financial information, including revenue, gross margin,
operating income and net income produced from the various general ledger systems to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing
performance; however, the principal measure of segment profitability or loss used by the CODM is net income by segment.

NOTE 16 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In accordance with accounting standards regarding
consolidation of variable interest entities, VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without
additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. All VIEs with which a company
is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required
to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.
Green Nevada through one of its subsidiaries,
Jinong, entered into a series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) with Yuxing for it to qualify as a VIE, effective June
16, 2013.
The Company has concluded, based on the contractual
arrangements, that Yuxing is a VIE and that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Jinong, absorbs most of the risk of loss from
the activities of Yuxing, thereby enabling the Company, through Jinong, to receive a majority of Yuxing expected residual returns.
On June 30, 2016 and January 1, 2017, the Company,
through its wholly owned subsidiary Jinong, entered into strategic acquisition agreements and into a series of contractual agreements
to qualify as VIEs with the shareholders of the sales VIE Companies.
Jinong, the sales VIE Companies, and the shareholders
of the sales VIE Companies also entered into a series of contractual agreements for the sales VIE Companies to qualify as VIEs (the “VIE
Agreements”).
On November 30, 2017, the Company, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Jinong, exited the VIE agreements with the shareholders of Zhenbai.
On June 2, 2021, the Company, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Jinong, discontinued the strategic acquisition agreements and the series of contractual agreements with the shareholders
of Xindeguo, Xinyulei and Xiangrong.
On December 1, 2021, the Company, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Jinong, discontinued the strategic acquisition agreements and the series of contractual agreements with the shareholders
of Lishijie.
On December 31, 2021, the Company, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Jinong, discontinued the strategic acquisition agreements and the series of contractual agreements with the shareholders
of Fengnong.
On March 31, 2022, the Company, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Jinong, discontinued the strategic acquisition agreements and the series of contractual agreements with the shareholders
of Jinyangguang and Wangtian.
As a result of these contractual arrangements,
with Yuxing and the sales VIE Companies the Company is entitled to substantially all the economic benefits of Yuxing and the VIE Companies.

Item 2. 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 consolidated financial statements and the notes to
those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve
significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as the slow-down of the macro-economic environment in China and
its impact on economic growth in general, the competition in the fertilizer industry and the impact of such competition on pricing, revenues
and margins, the weather conditions in the areas where our customers are based, the cost of attracting and retaining highly skilled personnel,
the prospects for future acquisitions, and the factors set forth elsewhere in this report, our actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. With these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements contained in this report will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained

update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. Further, the information about our intentions contained in this report is a statement of our
intention as of the date of this report and is based upon, among other things, the existing regulatory environment, industry conditions,
market conditions and prices, and our assumptions as of such date. We may change our intentions, at any time and without notice,
based upon any changes in such factors, in our assumptions or otherwise.

Overview
We are engaged in the research, development, production,
and sale of various types of fertilizers, agricultural products and Bitcoin in the PRC and United State through our wholly owned Chinese
subsidiaries, Jinong and Gufeng (including Gufeng’s subsidiary Tianjuyuan), Yuxing, a VIE associated with Jinong, and our wholly
owned U.S. subsidiary Antaeus. Our primary business is fertilizer products, specifically humic-acid based compound fertilizer produced
by Jinong and compound fertilizer, blended fertilizer, organic compound fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, highly concentrated water-soluble
fertilizer, and mixed organic-inorganic compound fertilizer produced by Gufeng. In addition, through Yuxing, we develop and produce various
agricultural products, such as top-grade fruits, vegetables, flowers and colored seedlings. Besides, we engaged in the mining of digital
assets Bitcoin through Antaeus. For financial reporting purposes, our operations are organized into four business segments: fertilizer
products (Jinong), fertilizer products (Gufeng), agricultural products (Yuxing), and Bitcoin (Antaeus).
The fertilizer business conducted by Jinong and Gufeng
generated approximately 85.6% and 88.0% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Yuxing
generated 13.5% and 10.5% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Yuxing serves as a research
and development base for our fertilizer products. Antaeus generated 0.9% and 1.5% of our revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Discussion of Segment Profitability Measures
As of September 30, 2024, we were engaged in the
following businesses: the production and sale of fertilizers through Jinong and Gufeng, the production and sale of high-quality agricultural
products by Yuxing and the production and sale of Bitcoin by Antaeus. For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into
four main business segments based on locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production), Yuxing (agricultural
products production) and Antaeus (Bitcoin). Each of the segments has its own annual budget about development, production and sales.
Each of the four operating segments referenced
above has separate and distinct general ledgers. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) makes decisions with respect
to resources allocation and performance assessment upon receiving financial information, including revenue, gross margin, operating income
and net income produced from the various general ledger systems; however, net income by segment is the principal benchmark to measure
profit or loss adopted by the CODM.
For Jinong, the net loss decreased by $94,720,
or 82.8%, to $(19,642) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $(114,362) for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The
decrease in net loss was principally due to lower general and administrative expenses.
For Gufeng, the net loss increased by $73,276,
or 5.8%, to $(1,335,699) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $(1,262,423) for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in net loss was principally due to the decrease in net sales.
For Yuxing, the net income increased $68,552 or
44.4%, to $222,823 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $154,271 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase
was mainly due to lower general and administrative expenses.
For Antaeus, the net loss increased by $129,654,
or 780.9%, to $(146,257) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $(16,603) for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash
from operations, borrowings from local commercial banks and net proceeds of offerings of our securities.
As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents
were $51,477,572, a decrease of $7,295,015, or 12.4%, from $58,772,587 as of June 30, 2024.
We intend to use the net proceeds from our securities
offerings, as well as other working capital if required, to acquire new businesses, upgrade production lines and complete Yuxing’s
new greenhouse facilities for agriculture products located on 88 acres of land in Hu County, 18 kilometers southeast of Xi’an city.
We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and positive projected cash flow from operations to support our business growth for the
next twelve months to the extent we do not have further significant acquisitions or expansions. However, if events or circumstances occur
and we do not meet our operating plan as expected, we may be required to seek additional capital and/or to reduce certain discretionary
spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
we may seek additional financing as necessary for expansion purposes and when we believe market conditions are most advantageous, which
may include additional debt and/or equity financings. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available on acceptable
terms, if at all. Any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive
covenants.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the
periods indicated:

for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in cash used in operating activities was mainly due to an increase in advances

ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $7,037,075 was mainly due to long-term equity investment with amount of $8,495,862 during
the three months ended September 30, 2024, comparing with $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for
the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,983,456, an increase of $3,367,416, or 243.3% compared to $1,383,960 net cash used in
financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the proceeds from loans with amount
of $5,726,880 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Accounts Receivable
We had accounts receivable of $22,322,256 as of
September 30, 2024, as compared to $16,493,068 as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $5,829,188, or 35.3%.
Allowance for doubtful accounts in accounts receivable
as of September 30, 2024 was $24,199,086, an increase of $1,457,390, or 6.4%, from $22,741,696 as of June 30, 2024. And the allowance
for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable was 52.0% as of September 30, 2024 and 58.0% as of June 30, 2024.
Deferred assets
We had no deferred assets as of September 30,
2024 and June 30, 2024. During the three months, we assisted the distributors in certain marketing efforts and developing standard stores
to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain
marketing efforts and store development will be expensed over three years if the distributors are actively selling our products. If a
distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement with us earlier than the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the
amount owed by the distributor is payable to us immediately. The deferred assets had been fully amortized as of September 30, 2024.
Inventories
We had inventories of $35,368,718 as of September
30, 2024, as compared to $37,826,456 as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2,457,738, or 6.5%. The decrease was primarily due to Gufeng’s
inventory. As of September 30, 2024, Gufeng’s inventory was $7,699,836, compared to $11,225,115 as of June 30, 2024, a decrease
of $3,525,279, or 31.4%. The Company confirmed the loss of $2.0 million and $2.4 million of inventories for the three months ended September
30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Advances to Suppliers
We had advances to suppliers of $15,942,668 as
of September 30, 2024 as compared to $12,110,034 as of June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $3,832,634, or 31.6%. Our inventory
level may fluctuate from time to time, depending how quickly the raw material is consumed and replenished during the production process,
and how soon the finished goods are sold. The replenishment of raw material relies on management’s estimate of numerous factors,
including but not limited to, the raw materials future price, and spot price along with its volatility, as well as the seasonal demand
and future price of finished fertilizer products. Such estimate may not be accurate, and the purchase decision of raw materials based
on the estimate can cause excessive inventories in times of slow sales and insufficient inventories in peak times.
Accounts Payable
We had accounts payable of $1,625,523 as of September
30, 2024 as compared to $1,685,725 as of June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $60,201, or 3.6%.
Customer Deposits (Unearned Revenue)
We had customer deposits of $7,320,054 as of September
30, 2024 as compared to $4,937,207 as of June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $2,382,847, or 48.3%. The increase was mainly attributable
to Gufeng’ $7,057,732 unearned revenue as of September 30, 2024, compared to $4,391,668 unearned revenue as of June 30, 2024, increased
$2,666,064, or 60.7%, caused by the advance deposits made by clients. This increase was due to seasonal fluctuation and we expect to deliver
products to our customers during the next three months at which time we will recognize the revenue.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of
its financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting
policies which require management to make significant estimates and judgments. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Basis
of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” We believe that the following paragraphs reflect the most critical
accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations:
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these
estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results and outcomes may differ from
management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties.
Revenue recognition
Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment
to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, we have no other significant
obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied
are recorded as unearned revenue.
Our revenue consists of invoiced value of goods,
net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers
are normally not returnable and sales discounts are normally not granted after products are delivered.
Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows purposes, we consider
all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Our policy is to maintain reserves for potential
credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer
concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy
of these reserves. Any accounts receivable of Jinong and Gufeng that are outstanding for more than 180 days will be accounted as allowance
for bad debts, and any accounts receivable of Yuxing that are outstanding for more than 90 days will be accounted as allowance for bad
debts.
Deferred assets
Deferred assets represent amounts the Company
advanced to the distributors in their marketing and stores development to expand our competitive advantage and market shares. Based
on the distributor agreements, the amount owed by the distributors in certain marketing efforts and store development will be expensed
over three years if the distributors are actively selling our products. If a distributor defaults, breaches, or terminates the agreement
with us earlier than the realization of the contractual terms, the unamortized portion of the amount owed by the distributor is to be
refunded to us immediately. The deferred assets had been fully amortized as of September 30, 2024.
Segment reporting
FASB ASC 280 requires use of the “management
approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes
segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services,
geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other way management disaggregates a company.
As of September 30, 2024, we were organized
into four main business units: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production), Yuxing (agricultural products
production) and Antaeus (Bitcoin). For financial reporting purpose, our operations were organized into four main business segments
based on locations and products: Jinong (fertilizer production), Gufeng (fertilizer production), Yuxing (agricultural products
production) and Antaeus(Bitcoin). Each of the segments has its own annual budget regarding development, production, and sales.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Disclosures About Market Risk
We may be exposed to changes in financial market
conditions in the normal course of business. Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur because of movements in interest
rates and equity prices. We currently do not, in the normal course of business, use financial instruments that are subject to changes
in financial market conditions.
Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Currency Risk
Substantially all our revenues and expenses are
denominated in RMB. However, we use the U.S. dollar for financial reporting purposes. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is regulated
by the People’s Bank of China through a unified floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its intention
to support the value of RMB, there can be no assurance that such exchange rate will not again become volatile or that RMB will not devalue
significantly against U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the value, in U.S. dollar terms, of our net assets
and income derived from our operations in the PRC.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Except
for U.S. holding companies, all our consolidated revenues, consolidated costs and expenses, and our assets are denominated in RMB. As
a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange
rate between the U.S. dollars and RMB. If RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets
as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the
balance sheet dates, revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates, and shareholders’ equity is translated
at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but are included
in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2024, our accumulated other
comprehensive loss was $22 million. We have not entered any hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. The
value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in PRC’s political and
economic conditions. Between July 1, 2024 and September 30, 2024, China’s currency increased by a cumulative 3.6% against the U.S.
dollar, making Chinese exports more expensive and imports into China cheaper by that percentage. The effect on trade can be substantial.
Moreover, it is possible that in the future, the PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen
intervention in the foreign exchange market.
Interest Rate Risk
We deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning
daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. All our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest.
The amount of short-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 was $5.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively.
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily with respect to our short-term bank loans. Although the interest rates, which are based
on the banks’ prime rates with respect to our short-term loans, are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically three
to twelve months for short-term bank loans and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. There was no material change in interest
rates for short-term bank loans renewed during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The original loan term on average is one year,
and the remaining average life of the short term-loans is approximately nine months.
Management monitors the banks’ prime rates
in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have
not entered any hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
We have experienced higher credit risk than usual
since 2020. With the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the overdue outstanding accounts receivable increased significantly compared with the
years prior to the pandemic. Our accounts receivables are typically unsecured and are mainly derived from revenues earned from customers
in the PRC. Most of our customers are individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”), which may not have strong
cash flows or be well capitalized. They may be vulnerable to an epidemic outbreak and slowing macroeconomic conditions. Many of the SMEs
that we work with cannot weather COVID-19 and the resulting economic impact, or they cannot resume business as usual after a prolonged
outbreak. Numerous distributors encountered significant difficulties and/or hardships in their businesses amid the pandemic. Even through
our receivables are monitored regularly by our credit managers, the bad debts expenses are higher in recent 3 years comparing with the
years before 2020.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors such as increases in the
cost of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Notwithstanding the measures taken by the PRC government
to control inflation, China still experienced an increase in inflation and our operating cost became higher than anticipated. The
high rate of inflation had an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
Risk of epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected,
and in the future it or other epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks may adversely affect, our operations. This is or may be due to closures
or restrictions requested or mandated by governmental authorities, disruption to supply chains and workforce, reduction of demand for
our products and services, and credit losses when customers and other counterparties fail to satisfy their obligations to us. We share
most of these risks with all businesses.
In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly
increased economic and demand uncertainty. The current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 may cause a global recession, which would
have a further adverse impact on our financial condition and operations, and this impact could exist for an extensive period.
The Company is continuing to monitor the situation
and take appropriate actions in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of relevant authorities. The full extent of the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors
outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development
and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic
on the global economy and demand for consumer products.
Additional future impacts on the Company may include,
but are not limited to, material adverse effects on demand for the Company’s products and services; the Company’s supply chain
and sales and distribution channels; the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plans; and the Company’s profitability
and cost structure. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, results of operations, financial
condition and stock price, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described above.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), at the conclusion of the period ended September 30, 2024 we carried out an evaluation,

(b) Changes in internal controls
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15
that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
