Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” Any statement that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed a forward-looking statement. These statements appear in various sections of this annual report and, in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” or their negatives or other similar terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this annual report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: strategy, future operations, expected capacity, expected sales or rental income, expected costs, expectations regarding the demand for and acceptance of our products, availability of material components, trends in the markets in which we operate, and the plans and objectives of management.
We believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, estimates, analyses, and judgments, which are made after considering our experience, knowledge of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that we believe are relevant and reasonable as of the date the statements are made. However, these assumptions, estimates, analyses, and judgments may prove to be incorrect. Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may make errors in judgment in preparing such forward-looking statements. The assumptions made include, but are not limited to: our expected capacity; labor costs and material costs; no material changes in the current regulatory environment; and our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms when needed. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors and assumptions used is not exhaustive.
Forward-looking statements (including those in Item 3.D “Risk Factors”), particularly without limiting the generality of the foregoing disclosure, those contained in Item 4.B “Business Overview,” Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and Item 11 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” as well as other parts of this annual report, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
Although management has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, or intended. Forward-looking statements may prove to be inaccurate because actual results and future events may differ materially from those expected in such forward-looking statements, or we may make errors in judgment in preparing forward-looking statements. Therefore, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We wish to inform you that these cautionary statements expressly qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to our company or persons acting on our behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting such statements, except as required by law.

Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. Before deciding to purchase common stock, you should carefully consider the following risks, as well as other information contained in this annual report, including the historical financial statements and related notes contained in other sections. Any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results, could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we express, and could lead to a significant decline in the value of our common stock. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
We may not be able to successfully prevent the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause. These potential risks and uncertainties may not be all of the risks and uncertainties we face. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that we are currently unaware of or consider immaterial but that may become material in the future and have a material adverse effect on us. As a result of any of these risks and uncertainties, you may lose all or a significant portion of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
After the pandemic and multiple shocks, Canada's economic growth has slowed down. Due to Canada's structural adjustments and policy uncertainties, especially the tightening of international education policies, which restricts private schools from enrolling international students, our education program revenues have been greatly affected. Our main source of overseas student enrollment has suffered significant damage. Families that originally planned to send their children to study abroad can no longer do so due to changes in Canadian education policies, resulting in no growth in the number of overseas students and revenues. Tuition income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 decreased compared with the previous fiscal year. Real estate income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 decreased by 50% compared with last year, and overall revenue in 2025 decreased by 50%. Due to changes in education policies and the limited operating history of the education services we provide, it is difficult to predict the prospects of our education programs and our business and financial performance. At the same time, due to the increase in bank interest rates, Canada's real estate industry is in a downward state, posing significant challenges to our real estate projects. Although we have been engaged in the real estate business since 2013 and our management has previous experience, the real estate business has been greatly affected by the general trend, resulting in a significant decline compared with last year. Our original planned main business, the education program, is no longer a sufficient basis for evaluating our prospects and operating performance (including net income, cash flow, profitability, or prospects), and there is a significant difference between our operating and financial performance and our expectations. Both our education and real estate businesses and financial performance have been affected. To enhance the company's ability to continue operations, control the company's operating risks, and promote the company's future development, the company's board of directors resolved on September 18, 2023 that the company successfully transformed from traditional education and real estate to emerging industries focusing on large health and elderly care, and high-end medical aesthetics starting from May 2024. The life sciences emerging industry business has achieved revenue, creating a sustainable operation and growth technology sunrise industry for the company's future.
The future prospects of the large health and elderly care, anti-aging, and high-end medical aesthetics industries are broad, mainly due to the global aging population, increased health awareness, and consumption upgrading. The large health industry and high-end medical aesthetics are regarded as emerging sunrise industries due to their huge market potential and diversification (including medical services, health products, health management, etc.); while high-end medical aesthetics is transforming from traditional plastic surgery to technological health, and is expected to continue to maintain rapid growth, becoming one of the most dynamic segments in the large health and elderly care field. The large health and elderly care industry has huge market potential, covering multiple fields such as medical products, health products, nutritional foods, medical devices, and health management, forming a huge ecosystem. The aging population and the rising incidence of chronic diseases have led to a continuous increase in demand for medical care, health care, and health management. With the improvement of people's health awareness, the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle is also increasing, which has driven the demand for high-end health products and services. The anti-aging and high-end medical aesthetics industry is one of the fastest-growing areas in the global consumer market. It is expected that the global market size will continue to expand. It is transforming from traditional plastic surgery and beauty to a more technological and healthier track, integrating medical technology and health management to meet the diversified needs of customers. Consumers' pursuit of beauty and attention to personal image are important factors driving its development. These factors are expected to drive the company's future revenue to grow exponentially. However, since the company does not have a management team with rich experience in this field, our judgment on expected revenue may not meet expectations, and we will anticipate this risk.
1
As stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of this annual report, although the company has suffered operating losses and a decrease in working capital, management has actively addressed the challenges regarding the company's ability to continue operations, mainly by improving the company's liquidity and funding sources through operating cash flow business, equity financing, and renewal of bank loans. To fully implement its business plan and maintain sustainable growth, the company is also actively seeking business partners to carry out business and cooperative financing. Currently, the company has obtained capital commitments from potential investors for the large health and elderly care, anti-aging, and high-end medical aesthetics projects. This commitment will not only enable the rapid development of our large health and elderly care, anti-aging, and high-end medical aesthetics projects, bringing considerable sustainable revenue to the company, but also bring a historic turning point to the company, enabling it to strongly enter the life sciences emerging industry track and greatly enhance the company's value.
We will continue to develop, establish, and maintain internal controls and procedures to enable management to report and allow our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting when required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we are no longer an emerging growth company, management will be required to report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s management (including the CEO and CFO) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) in accordance with requirements. Based on the evaluation (conducted against COSO Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 version)), management concluded that as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring timely and proper recording, processing, summarizing, reporting and communication of required disclosure information; meanwhile, the Company had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting due to multiple significant deficiencies and material weaknesses, including lack of effective internal audit function, inadequate IT general control policies, insufficient supporting documentation retention controls, limited segregation of duties in bank transaction authorization, inadequate accounting and financial reporting oversight controls, deficient inter-departmental communication channels, lack of internal review procedures for special and complex transactions, delays in tax filing and payment, absence of formal budget process, and material weaknesses in corporate governance.
To address and resolve the above deficiencies and material weaknesses, management has taken and plans to take a series of remediation measures, including developing formal internal control policies and conducting ongoing training (including U.S. GAAP training), recruiting personnel with relevant SEC reporting, SOX and internal control backgrounds, implementing internal control-related applications and systems, establishing proper supporting documentation retention processes, improving inter-departmental information and communication mechanisms, strengthening controls over related party transactions with the formerly controlling shareholder, implementing sound budget and cash management systems, updating the corporate governance framework to comply with U.S. securities regulations, establishing sound internal controls for bank transaction authorization and multi-level approval matrix, developing review procedures for special and complex transactions, and formulating and regularly updating tax filing and payment schedules. It should be noted that a material weakness is considered remediated only after relevant controls have operated effectively for a sufficient period and been tested effective.
If the implementation of these measures fails to fully address the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, we cannot conclude that these deficiencies have been fully corrected, which may affect our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and relevant regulatory filings in a timely manner. Therefore, our business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our common stock, may be adversely affected. In addition, ineffective internal control over financial reporting impairs our ability to prevent fraud. Furthermore, once we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, even if management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, after conducting its own independent testing, our independent registered public accounting firm may be dissatisfied with our internal controls or the level of documentation, design, operation, or review same period. Due to the of controls. As a public company, in the foreseeable future, our reporting obligations may place certain pressure on our management, operations, financial resources, and systems.

We face the risk of fluctuations in the real estate industry
.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, revenue from leasing office space to third parties accounted for 55.4% of our revenue, compared with 85.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of 30.1% over the impact of fluctuations and uncertainties in the Toronto real estate market, we decided not to renew the lease and use the space for our own operations. We have formed a strong partnership with Jiangsu Yike Regenerative Medicine Technology Co., Ltd. to transform the real estate leasing business into an industrial real estate business, build our own anti-aging and high-end medical aesthetics service brand, form our own expertise, technology, market, and system, innovate the company's development model, and inject new impetus into the company's sustainable operation and growth.
Risks related to our property renovation and transformation to develop the life sciences industry.
The company has a plan to upgrade the properties located at 95 & 105 Moatfield Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada after we take it over from the Receivership. Our strategic plan takes advantage of Canada's favorable policies, especially the surplus of commercial real estate and the shortage of mixed-use and high-end apartments. We plan to submit a renovation proposal to the government to renovate 95&105 Moatfield Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada into an “International Anti-Aging and High-End Medical Aesthetics Health Care Center,” and transform the ground open-air parking lot into a comprehensive commercial-residential high-end apartment. Our management expects that this initiative may significantly increase its value, generating expected revenue of over CAD $100 million in the future. At the same time, the renovation of 95&105 into an International Anti-Aging and High-End Medical Aesthetics Health Care Center is expected to achieve annual revenue of over 10 million CAD in the future. Our revenue and profit forecasts are based on current assumptions and market conditions. Any deviation from these assumptions may result in financial performance below expectations, affecting our overall business and financial health. In view of these risks, there is uncertainty regarding the successful completion of the new project and the achievement of expected returns.
Risk related to the experience of our education business in the operating department.
Since March 31, 2021, we have acquired a number of education companies, including MTM College, Conbridge College of Business and Technology, and Visionary Academy (formerly Lowell). Although we have an experienced management team, operating these businesses and integrating them with our current operations is challenging. Failure to successfully operate one or more of these businesses may have an adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, and prospects.
Risks related to our large health and elderly care, high-end medical aesthetics, and life sciences industries.
To adapt to changes in the global market and the growth of new industries, enhance the company's core competitiveness, maintain sustainable development and continuous growth, the company held a board of directors meeting on September 18, 2023, confirming that the company will transform from the traditional education and real estate industries to the life sciences industry with high-end medical aesthetics as the main business and education and real estate as auxiliary businesses. After more than two years of efforts, significant results have been achieved. This fiscal year, it has generated more than $1 million in revenue, accounting for 20% of total revenue, laying a good foundation for future business development. The company's life sciences industry is expected to generate revenue of up to tens of millions of dollars in the next fiscal year, accounting for more than 80% of total revenue, providing strong market support for the company's rapid business growth in the future. We have successfully transformed into the life sciences industry with high-end medical aesthetics as the main business, and at the same time, established a new leadership team with experience in these fields. Under the leadership of the new team, the company is expected to achieve significant results in the short term. Although the market for this industry is huge, since we have just entered this industry, we need to strengthen our understanding of industry policies, management team, R&D team, and market team. Therefore, there is certain risk whether the future business growth will meet the expected goals.
3
We have experienced losses, and there is a high possibility of turning to profitability in the future.
Although we have had profitable quarters and annual periods, we have also experienced losses in the past. The large health and elderly care, high-end medical aesthetics, and life sciences industries are expected to bring us high revenue and profits, enabling us to turn losses into profits as soon as possible and bring us sustained high profits. At the same time, with the development of our artificial intelligence (AI) education project, the market for student enrollment will be broader, and the education business will also grow gradually. Therefore, we can generate sufficient revenue to maintain profitability.
We need to develop the large health and elderly care, high-end medical aesthetics, and life sciences industries and innovate financing channels to implement our performance goals. We will obtain funds from the issuance of securities and revenue generated from the life sciences industry business. At the same time, we will expand our business through mergers and acquisitions and other strategic transactions to obtain funds and benefits from these strategic transactions.
We must comply with the rules and requirements applicable to public companies, as well as evolving laws, regulations, and standards related to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and related regulations implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq. We are currently evaluating and monitoring the development of new and proposed rules. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to different interpretations due to the lack of specificity, so their application in practice may evolve over time as regulatory and governance bodies provide new guidance. This may lead to ongoing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs due to ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, which may result in increased general and administrative expenses and divert management's time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. We also expect these new rules and regulations to increase the cost of obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance, and we may need to accept reduced coverage or pay significantly higher costs to obtain insurance. These factors may also make it more costly for us to attract and retain qualified directors, especially those serving on the audit committee and compensation committee, as well as qualified senior management.
As of March 31, 2025, we had accrued unpaid income tax liabilities of approximately $1.28 million. We have reached a verbal agreement with the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) to pay all such tax liabilities in installments starting from January 1, 2026.
As of the date of this annual report, the CRA has not initiated or threatened any action to collect such delinquent taxes. We intend to pay these liabilities from operating income and equity financing proceeds.
We face foreign currency exchange rate risk, which may cause fluctuations in our reported gains or losses.
The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar (CAD) and the U.S. dollar fluctuates and is affected by various factors, including changes in the political and economic conditions of Canada and the global economy. We cannot guarantee that the CAD will remain stable against the U.S. dollar or any other foreign currency.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, all of our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are denominated in CAD. Therefore, we face foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to any assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against the CAD, the translation of CAD-denominated transactions will result in a decrease in revenue, operating expenses, and net income or loss from our international operations. Similarly, if the CAD weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in an increase in revenue, operating expenses, and net income or loss from our international operations. We currently do not engage in currency hedging transactions to offset fluctuating currency exchange rates.
Non-Canadian citizens may face difficulties in enforcing judgments against us.
We are incorporated in Canada, and our headquarters is located in Canada. Most of our directors and senior management, as well as certain experts identified in this report, primarily reside in Canada, and all of our assets, as well as all or most of the assets of these individuals, are located outside the United States. Investors residing in the United States may face difficulties in serving legal process on these individuals in the United States or enforcing U.S. court judgments against us or these individuals based on the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws or other U.S. laws. There is significant doubt as to whether an action based solely on U.S. federal securities laws can be brought in Canada in the first instance. Canadian courts may decline to hear claims brought against us or these individuals based on alleged violations of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that Canada is
not the most appropriate forum for such actions. Even if a Canadian court agrees to hear the claim, it may determine that Canadian law applies rather than U.S. law. If U.S. law is determined to apply, the content of the applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Certain aspects of court proceedings will also be governed by Canadian law.

Operational Risks
The loss of key personnel may have an adverse effect on our business.
The success of our business will depend on the management skills of the directors of the board of directors, as well as their relationships with educators, managers, and other business contacts they have in overseas and in Canada. The loss of the services of any key personnel may impair our ability to successfully manage our business. We also rely on the successful recruitment and retention of qualified and experienced managers, sales personnel, and other employees who can work effectively within the company. In some cases, the market for these skilled employees is highly competitive. We may not be able to retain or recruit such personnel on terms acceptable to us, which may have an adverse effect on our business prospects and financial condition.
The personal information we collect may be vulnerable to disclosure, theft, or loss, which may expose us to liability or have an adverse effect on our reputation and operations.
Owning and using personal information in our operations exposes us to risks and costs that may harm our business and reputation. We collect, use, and retain a large amount of personal information about our customers, students, and their families, including customer, personal, and family financial data. We also collect and maintain personal information of employees in the ordinary course of business. Although we use security and business controls to restrict access to and use of personal information, third parties may be able to bypass these security and business controls, which may result in the disclosure of students' or employees' privacy. In addition, errors in the storage, use, or transmission of personal information may also lead to the disclosure of students' or employees' privacy. Owning and using personal information in our operations also exposes us to legal and regulatory burdens, which may require us to implement certain policies and procedures related to identity theft associated with customers' and students' credit card accounts, and may require us to make certain data breach notifications and restrict our use of personal information. Violations of any laws or regulations related to the collection or use of personal information may result in fines against us. Therefore, we may need to invest significant resources to prevent the threat of these security breaches or mitigate the problems caused by these breaches. Although we believe we have taken appropriate preventive measures and security measures, there is no guarantee that no such disclosure, theft, or loss of personal information will occur. Any such disclosure, theft, or loss of personal information may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, reputation, and growth prospects, and may result in legal proceedings against us under privacy regulations.
We may not be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of excellent senior managers, technical professionals, school principals, and qualified teachers
.
As a public company with high-end medical aesthetics in the large health sector as its main business and education and real estate service providers as auxiliary businesses, our ability to recruit and retain excellent senior managers, technical professionals, qualified teachers, and school principals is crucial to our business, service quality, and our brand and reputation. To ensure the successful operation and growth of our company, we need to retain and continue to hire high-quality talents proficient in the large health and high-end medical aesthetics industry and specific disciplines, who can manage and operate our projects, teach the courses we provide or plan to provide to students, and high-quality management talents who can effectively manage the company and schools. We must provide competitive compensation and benefits packages to attract and retain qualified candidates or retain our current high-quality team, especially when we seek more rapid expansion plans to meet the growing demand for our business. A shortage of high-quality management talents, a decline in the quality of performance of our teachers and principals (whether actual or perceived), or a significant increase in the cost of hiring or retaining high-quality management talents, technical talents, teachers, and principals will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
If our common stock does not qualify for an exemption from “penny stock” classification and our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market will be restricted.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a “penny stock” as an equity security with a market price (as defined in the regulations) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, except for certain exceptions, including equity securities quoted on a national securities exchange. If our common stock is not quoted on a national exchange such as Nasdaq and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, they will be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers selling these securities. For example, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of the securities and obtain the purchaser's written consent before the purchase. In addition, the rules require the delivery of a disclosure schedule prepared by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the penny stock market before the transaction. Broker-dealers must also disclose the commissions paid to the broker-dealer and registered underwriters, the current quotation for the securities, and if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and its presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for penny stocks held in the account and information about the limited market for penny stocks. The “penny stock” rules may restrict our shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.

One person holds super voting rights and may take actions that are not in the best interests of other shareholders.
Ms. Wanhong Wu became the controlling shareholder of the company (“Controlling Shareholder”) by holding 100% equity of 3888 Investment Group Co., Ltd. (which is the sole owner of the super Class B common stock of Visionary Holdings Inc.). Therefore, Ms. Wanhong Wu can exercise control over the company's management and affairs requiring shareholder approval (including approval of major corporate transactions). This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all our shareholders.
Certain provisions of our amended articles of incorporation may make it more difficult for third parties to effect a change in control.
Our amended articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to issue a certain number of preferred shares. Although no preferred shares have been issued to date, preferred shares may be issued in series, and the terms of which may be determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance without further action by the shareholders. These terms may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on specific matters), dividend and liquidation preferences, conversion rights, redemption rights. The issuance of any preferred shares may dilute the rights of common stock shareholders and thus may reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, the specific rights granted to future preferred stockholders may be used to restrict our ability to merge with a third party or sell assets to a third party. The ability of the board of directors to issue preferred shares may make an acquisition or change in control more difficult, delayed, hindered, prevented, or costly, which in turn may prevent shareholders from realizing gains if a favorable offer is received and may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
We are a foreign private issuer as defined in the rules under the Exchange Act and are therefore exempt from complying with certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.
As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from complying with certain U.S. securities rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
Rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;
Provisions under the Exchange Act governing the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of securities registered under the Exchange Act;
Provisions under the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and holding insiders liable for profits made from trading within a short period; and
Rules under Regulation FD requiring issuers to avoid selective disclosure of material non-public information.
We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months after the end of each fiscal year. Press releases related to financial performance and material events will also be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file or provide to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be less extensive and timely than the information U.S. domestic issuers are required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, you may not have access to the same protections or information as you would when investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain simplified reporting
requirements.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from complying with requirements applicable to other public companies that do not apply to emerging growth companies. Most importantly, as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Therefore, if we choose not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have
access to certain information they may consider important. The
JOBS Act also provides that emerging growth companies are not required to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until the date on which private companies are required to comply with such new or revised financial accounting standards.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate significantly due to factors such as: fluctuations in actual or expected quarterly operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts, economic performance or market valuations of other comparable companies, announcements by us or our competitors of major acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the CAD and the U.S. dollar, intellectual property litigation, the release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding common stock, and economic or political conditions in Canada. In addition, the performance and market price fluctuations of other companies with significant operations in Canada and securities listed in the United States may affect the volatility of the price and trading volume of our common stock.
We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders of our common stock.
We do not expect to be considered a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended March 31, 2025. However, the application of the PFIC rules is ambiguous in several respects, and we must determine separately each taxable year whether we are a PFIC. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will not be a PFIC for the taxable year ended March 31, 2025 or any future taxable year. A non-U.S. corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if it meets either of the following conditions: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The fair market value of our assets will generally be determined based on the market price of our common stock, which may fluctuate. In addition, the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how and how quickly we use the cash raised. A significant portion of our assets and income is attributable to real estate, which may be considered passive income under the PFIC rules. If we are considered a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. person holds our common stock, such U.S. person may face certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. See “Taxation — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — PFIC Rules.”
We currently do not intend to pay dividends, which will reduce the ways you can profit from any investment in us.
We have never paid any cash dividends since our inception and currently do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, but do not rule out the possibility of paying dividends if our business grows significantly in the future. If we need additional funds (not currently provided for in our financing plans), our sources of funds may prohibit the payment of dividends. Since we do not intend to declare dividends, investment returns on our company will need to be realized through increases in the price of our stock.
We provide indemnification for directors and senior management, and such indemnification may have a negative impact on our operating results
.
Pursuant to our by-laws, we indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law against all expenses, costs, and expenses (including settlement amounts or judgments) reasonably incurred by them in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or other proceedings arising out of their respective duties. Our by-laws also allow for the reimbursement of certain legal defense costs. In addition, we intend to provide directors and senior management with insurance against certain liabilities. If the costs of such indemnification and insurance coverage increase, it may have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Our insurance coverage related to our business and operations is limited.
Our business and operations are exposed to various risks, and our insurance coverage is limited. The risks we face include, but are not limited to: accidents or injuries arising from our business, loss of key management and personnel, business interruption, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, social unrest, or any other events beyond our control. We do not have any business interruption insurance or key person life insurance. Any business interruption, legal proceedings, natural disaster, or other event beyond our control may result in significant costs and diversion of resources, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Item 4. Information on the Company
A.
   
History and Development of the Company
Introduction
Visionary Education Technology Holdings Group Company was founded by Ms. Fan Zhou, a Canadian vocational educator. It was incorporated by Ms. Fan Zhou on August 20, 2013 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act as 123 Natural Food Ontario Limited, a corporation. The name was later changed to Visionary Education Technology Holdings Group Company and further changed to Visionary Holdings Inc. on January 30, 2024. Our original goal was to develop and operate an international education platform focusing on vocational education. However, due to market barriers and a limited market caused by the over-specialization of this concept, we did not pursue this goal.
In 2015, Ms. Fan Zhou shifted our business focus to international education programs for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (“OSSD”). She established a new company — Zhongqing Langton (Canada) Education Technology Co., Ltd. (“Langton”). As a majority investor, Langton, together with non-affiliated third-party investors, formed Toronto ESchool Limited (“Toronto ESchool”) on March 7, 2016, providing online OSSD courses for grades 9 to 12. On November 15, 2017, we entered into a share purchase agreement, and after this transaction, we owned 70% equity interest in Toronto ESchool. On June 19, 2020, we transferred our 70% equity interest in Toronto ESchool to Farvision Education Group Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Concurrent with our establishment, on August 20, 2013, Ms. Fan Zhou established 123 Real Estate Development Ontario Limited (“123 Real Estate”) to acquire and develop educational real estate facilities as a supplement to education companies. To better explore the international market and enhance competitiveness, Ms. Fan Zhou increased investment in teaching facilities through 123 Real Estate. From 2013 to 2015, 123 Real Estate purchased 22.4 acres of vacant land in Peterborough, Ontario, originally planned to be developed into an international student dormitory center. On November 14, 2015, 123 Real Estate purchased a building at 41Metropolitan Road, Toronto, as the headquarters and teaching facility for international education. On April 1, 2019, we acquired all shares of 123 Real Estate from Ms. Fan Zhou at a price of $11.2 million (CAD $15.2 million) and a private mortgage loan of $3 million (CAD 4 million), to generate additional income through leasing and provide space for the expansion of educational facilities. On May 28, 2021, 123 Real Estate Development Ontario Limited was renamed Visionary Education Real Estate Group Limited. On October 15, 2021, Visionary Education Real Estate Group Limited was renamed Visionary Education Services and Management Limited.
From 2017 to 2019, we conducted research on the international market for OSSD. Based on the broad market opportunities of OSSD, we gradually established an agent network in Southeast Asia, India, and South America to recruit students for our OSSD programs. At the same time, we also developed online teaching files for more than 60 OSSD courses (core courses and a wide range of elective courses). We established cooperative relationships with educational institutions such as the Mississauga District School Board and Trent University. The cooperation included the development of OSSD teaching methods and technologies, school management, and student progression to higher education. We concluded that the initial results of this initiative and operation were encouraging.
However, starting from the beginning of 2020, we were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our tuition fees and other revenues decreased sharply. Without exception, the entire education industry in Canada suffered difficulties caused by the pandemic. To survive while creating growth opportunities, we made significant adjustments to our strategic plan and began to explore new business opportunities. To respond to Canada's special economic environment, we optimized our educational assets and focused our operations in the Toronto metropolitan area. We sold most of the land in Peterborough and used the proceeds to acquire high-quality educational institutions and institutional buildings. We achieved growth through the acquisition of seven educational institutions and two institutional buildings, which we believe were acquired at favorably low prices. The following describes these acquisitions and the restructuring of our company structure
.
On May 14, 2020, Farvision Education Group Limited (“Farvision Education”) was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Farvision Education is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visionary Holdings Inc. On February 2, 2023, Farvision Education Group Limited was renamed Farvision Vocational Education Group Limited.
On July 27, 2020, Farvision Education entered into an investment agreement with 2549601 Ontario Limited, which holds a private high school license registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education, to jointly establish Maple Leaf Toronto Academy of Arts and Performing Arts Limited.

Pursuant to the agreement, Farvision Education subscribed for 80% of the 200,000 common shares at a price of $0.8 per share, and 2549601 Ontario Limited subscribed for the remaining 20% of the common shares at the same price. On August 3, 2020, Farvision Education filed articles of amendment to change the name of Maple Leaf Toronto Academy of Arts and Performing Arts Limited from Richmond Hill Alathena International Academy to Maple Leaf Toronto Art School Limited (“Toronto Art
School”). On July 27, 2020, Toronto Art School entered into a license transfer agreement with 2549601 Ontario Limited, a private high school registered with the Ontario Ministry of Education (operating under the name Richmond Hill Alathena International Academy). Pursuant to the agreement, Toronto Art School acquired the private high school license for a consideration of $159,040. The transaction was completed on September 1, 2020.

On October 18, 2020, Farvision Vocational Education entered into an investment agreement with the two former shareholders of 7621531 Canada Limited, which operates Conbridge Polytechnic Institute (“Conbridge”), a private vocational college registered with the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Pursuant to the agreement, Farvision Education acquired 80% equity interest in Conbridge Polytechnic Institute for a total consideration of $64,024 (CAD 80,000).
On February 28, 2022, we acquired 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of Max the Mutt Animation Inc., which operates Max the Mutt Animation, Art & Design School (“MTM”). Founded in 1997, MTM is a private vocational college in Canada located in Toronto, Ontario.
On June 24, 2022, pursuant to the agreement signed on December 19, 2020 and the amendment agreement signed on February 28, 2022, Farvision Education paid the first deferred purchase payment of $80,030 to acquire 10% of the shares of MTM. After this payment and share transfer, Farvision Education owned 80% of the total issued and outstanding shares of MTM.
MTM offers full-time four-year college diploma programs, including classical and computer animation and production, illustration and comic book narrative art, and animation and video game concept art. In addition to diploma programs, MTM also offers various digital, animation, and art workshops and courses, as well as a six-week intensive certificate program for students applying to art-related higher education programs
.
On September 23, 2022, we successfully completed the acquisition of two office buildings located at 95-105 Moatfield Drive, Toronto, with a total gross floor area of approximately 433,000 square feet. These buildings were previously the Canadian headquarters of IBM and Kraft Heinz. We completed the acquisition for a total consideration of $69.7 million (CAD 94.4 million).
Our common stock was listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 17, 2022, under the ticker symbol “VEDU,” and we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) on May 19, 2022, issuing 4.25 million shares of common stock. After deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses payable by the company, the net proceeds from this IPO were approximately $14.33 million.
On September 18, 2023, we held a board of directors meeting, confirming that the company will transform from the traditional education and real estate industries to the life sciences industry with high-end medical aesthetics in the large health sector as the main business and education and real estate as auxiliary businesses. To promote the high-end medical aesthetics business in the large health sector, we established wholly-owned subsidiaries in Shanghai, China and Malaysia in October 2023, respectively, to develop the life sciences business in the Asian region.
In February 2024, we established Visionary Health Industry Investment Co., Ltd., a holding subsidiary in Guangzhou, to develop the micro-ecological health industry, focusing on the maintenance of gastrointestinal health. Based on research results and technologies such as human micro-ecology, with intestinal flora as the target, we adopt the concept of “nourishment instead of treatment” and use lifestyle intervention measures to provide accurate gastrointestinal flora health maintenance solutions for people with gastrointestinal sub-health. In the future, we are committed to helping 10 million people develop correct gastrointestinal health maintenance habits and have healthier gastrointestinal tracts. Currently, significant results have been achieved, with revenue of more than $1 million obtained this fiscal year, accounting for 20% of total revenue, laying a good foundation for future business development. The company's life sciences business revenue is expected to reach tens of millions of Canadian dollars in the next fiscal year, accounting for more than 80% of total revenue, providing strong market support for the company's rapid growth in the future.

1. Degree-Oriented Education
The company offers four levels of degree-oriented education programs: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD, Grades 9-12), vocational-oriented two-year college programs, four-year undergraduate programs, and master's programs. These programs are currently provided either independently by the company's affiliated schools or through cooperation with public institutions.
     
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) Program:
OSSD is a diploma issued by the Ontario Ministry of Education to secondary school graduates, part of the provincial public education system, awarded to all students who complete Ontario's education curriculum, including special education students, outstanding students in science programs (TOPS), students in mathematics, science, and computer science programs (MaCS), International Baccalaureate (IB) students, and students in other key secondary school programs. OSSD education emphasizes critical thinking, independent thinking, and problem-solving skills, and is recognized by many universities in Canada and around the world. The company operates three schools offering OSSD programs through its subsidiaries: Visionary Academy, Toronto Art School, and Toronto ESchool, providing OSSD programs for Canadian local students and international students through online, in-person, and blended learning models (combining pre-recorded courses, live courses, tutoring courses, and online and offline consulting). All three schools have signed agreements with public institutions of higher education, allowing OSSD graduates to directly apply for degree programs at these institutions without taking English proficiency tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.
    
College and Undergraduate Programs:
The company offers college programs through Conbridge College of Business and Technology (Conbridge). Its courses are researched, standardized, and updated to equip students with employment-ready skills. At the undergraduate level, Conbridge College has established a cooperative education model with a public university through "2+2" and "1+3" programs.
     
Master's Programs:
Through a cooperation agreement signed with Niagara University Ontario (NUO) on July 14, 2021, the company serves as the exclusive enrollment agent for NUO in Canada, India, and some Southeast Asian countries, providing students with master's education opportunities; in addition, Max the Mutt Animation Inc. (MTM) has signed an agreement with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (Duncan College) to provide master's education opportunities. According to the agreement, after successfully completing MTM's four-year program, students can directly apply for Duncan College's one-year master's program.
Foreign students who complete the company's higher education programs are eligible to apply for immigration to Canada, making the company's programs attractive to international students. To help international students smoothly transition to life in Canada and achieve development, the company provides auxiliary education services such as study and immigration visa processing, student accommodation, employment placement, internships, and entrepreneurship support.
2. Vocational Education
Vocational education is an alternative to university education, providing career development paths, imparting skills and knowledge required for specific occupations, aligning with labor market needs, and serving as an important part of the education system. The company believes that high-quality vocational education can enhance students' employability and teach them to continuously improve themselves in their careers. Vocational education usually enables students to master market-needed skills in a relatively short period, with common forms including technical industry license training, technical industry vocational training, and high-demand vocational training. Although vocational education programs are relatively short-term, students should pursue lifelong learning in their diverse careers. Teachers focus on cultivating students' ability to adapt to technological development trends, as few occupations remain unchanged technically, but the basic knowledge in most fields is relatively stable.
14
In response to the needs of specific recovering industries such as construction, manufacturing, and hospitality, the Canadian government adopts a "bulk purchasing" training method to provide funding support for large-scale training, such as the Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG), Second Career Program, and Canadian Apprenticeship Program. Through cooperation with Canadian International Career College (CICC), the company offers Personal Support Worker (PSW) vocational education programs.
3. Education Services
     
AI-Assisted Learning Tools
: To improve students' learning outcomes and abilities, we provide advanced AI-assisted learning tools, including AI learning platforms, thinking organization tools, language enhancement tools, and self-correction homework assistants, helping students complete their studies and achieve their academic goals
.
    
Study and Immigration Visa Services
: The company's directly wholly-owned subsidiary, Visionary Education Services & Management Inc., provides Canadian study and immigration visa services. The Canadian study visa application process is complex, including two parts: a study permit and a study visa. A study permit is a document issued by the Canadian government allowing foreign citizens to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), which can be obtained through an interview with an immigration officer or a visa issued by the Embassy of Canada in China. After obtaining a study permit, all students planning to study in Canada must apply for a visa through the Visa Application Center of the Embassy of Canada in China. Visionary Education Services & Management Inc. provides full-process assistance for international students in applying for study permits and visas.
     
Other Supporting Services:
To better serve international students, the company also provides comprehensive accommodation-related services through Visionary Education Services & Management Inc., including dormitory renovation, water and electricity maintenance, facility and equipment maintenance, and supply of daily necessities and school supplies.
IV. Market and Competition
Competition in Canada's high-end medical aesthetics market is mainly reflected in the differentiation of technology and services, brand image building, and diversity of marketing strategies. In addition, the market is greatly affected by regulations and policies, and faces consumers' continuous attention to safety and effectiveness. At the same time, Canada has relatively strict regulations on the medical aesthetics industry, especially regarding product approval, surgical safety, and advertising, which brings certain compliance pressure to us. With consumers' increasingly diversified and personalized demands for medical aesthetics and price competition, we are faced with market challenges and risks; there are well-known medical aesthetics centers in Canada with more than 20 years of operation, which have a long history, established brands, and accumulated certain market resources, all of which are our competitors.
OSSD is a high school diploma recognized by most universities and regions around the world. The number of enrollments in Canadian institutions of higher education increases every year, especially the number of international students. According to data from Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, over the past 10 years, Ontario has ranked first among Canadian provinces in terms of the number of international students, largely driven by the growth in the number of international students in OSSD programs.
Ontario has 76 public school boards, including 38 public secular school boards (34 English school boards and 4 French school boards), 38 public separate school boards (29 English Catholic school boards, 8 French Catholic school boards, and 1 English Protestant school board), and 7 public school authorities operating in children's treatment centers. In the 2021-2022 academic year, there were 1,503 private schools in Ontario. Public high schools in the Markham area where the company is located include Markville High School, Unionville High School, Bur Oak Secondary School, Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School, and Bill Crothers Secondary School; private high schools include Peoples Christian Academy, J Addison School, Holy Trinity School, TMS School, and La Citadelle International Academy of Arts and Science. These competitors have a long history, relatively large campus scales, and excellent teaching facilities.
V. Development Plan
Based on the company's future development plan, we will accelerate the development of the health and wellness project. In the next 3 years, we plan to open 6,000 brand franchise stores, help 100 million customers develop correct gastrointestinal tract maintenance habits, and achieve annual revenue exceeding 100 million US dollars. We will integrate global resources, technologies, markets, and teams, actively form close cooperation with world-renowned relevant institutions, strengthen multi-faceted and multi-level mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, and focus on developing anti-aging and high-end medical aesthetics services using the world's most advanced technologies and innovative methods, aiming to achieve annual revenue exceeding 100 million US dollars in the next 2 years.

Based on the company's existing flexible curriculum arrangements and advanced teaching facilities and methods, the company plans to strengthen the OSSD program in the following aspects:
    
Establish cooperative relationships with more public colleges and universities. Under the leadership of the board of directors, the company has been negotiating agreements with universities to allow qualified graduates to directly enter degree programs at these universities without taking English proficiency tests;
    
Build an AI-based comprehensive student management system. This system can track each student's learning journey and provide personalized tutoring to optimize learning efficiency;
     
Establish a VR-based virtual teaching laboratory to enhance students' learning experience. The VR laboratory will visualize complex methods and processes in subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology to facilitate students' understanding;
     
Develop OSSD Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to provide students with rich learning content. The company has built a MOOC platform currently used for animation education;
     
Further expand marketing networks in target countries, including China, India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia.
VI. Regulatory Matters
Canada's medical aesthetics industry is subject to strict regulation, covering multiple aspects of products, devices, and services. Products and cosmetics must comply with the Cosmetic Regulations, including restricted/prohibited ingredient lists and labeling requirements; medical aesthetics devices must obtain Medical Device License (MDL) certification from Health Canada, with categories determined by the product's risk level.
In Ontario, private schools can operate as for-profit enterprises, so the academic year arrangement, tuition fees, enrollment, and school management are not controlled by the Ministry of Education, but the courses must meet the OSSD curriculum requirements specified by the Ministry of Education. Private schools do not receive any funding or other financial support from the Ontario government, and the Ministry of Education does not regulate, license, accredit, or supervise the daily operations of private schools.
Despite certain flexibility, any individual, enterprise, or non-profit entity wishing to operate a private school in Ontario must comply with the legal requirements of the Education Act (amended by the Education Amendment Act, commonly known as Bill 82) and the policies and procedures in the Private School Policy and Procedure Manual issued by the Ministry of Education.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on education delivery in Ontario. According to the new policy of the Ministry of Education, students can obtain OSSD graduation qualifications through online courses, which has become a future trend for international students.

Rent revenue
Revenue from rent decreased by $5.2 million, or 65.1%, from $8.0 million in fiscal 2024 to $2.8 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease in rent revenue was mainly due to 1) two subsidiaries which hold two rental office buildings have been disposed to third parties in December 2024, and only 5 months rental income was recorded by the Company, and 2) two office buildings located at 95 and 105 Moatfield have been taken over by the receivership on August 27, 2024 and only 5 months rental income was recorded by the Company.
Revenue from rent increased by $0.9 million, or 13.1%, from $7.1 million in fiscal 2023 to $8.0 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in rent revenue was mainly due to the revenue generated from the newly purchased office building in September 2022. In fiscal 2023, it generated rental income of $4.9 million for 6 months and in fiscal 2024, it generated rental income of 6.6 million for 12 months. In addition, one office building was sold in June 2023 which generated rental income of $0.7 million in fiscal 2023 and less than $0.2 million rental income in fiscal 2024. The rental income from other subsidiaries generally decreased in fiscal 2024 due to economic downward post to pandemic.

Tuition revenue
Revenue from tuition income decreased by $0.2 million, or 13.0%, from $1.4 million in fiscal 2024 to $1.2 million in fiscal 2025. The total tuition income was slightly decreased for fiscal 2025. However, the tuition income from Toronto ESchool increased by $0.1 million in fiscal 2025, and the tuition income from Max the Mut College of Animation (“MTM”) decreased by $0.3 million in fiscal 2025, and tuition revenue from other educational subsidiaries, including Lowell Academy, Toronto Art Academy and Conbridge are all decreased slightly in fiscal 2025. The decrease of tuition revenue from MTM was mainly due to decrease of student’s numbers consistent with the strict international student policy in Canada.
Revenue from tuition income increased by $0.1 million, or 1.4%, from $1.3 million in fiscal 2023 to $1.4 million in fiscal 2024. The total tuition income was stable for fiscal 2024 and 2023. However, the tuition income from Toronto ESchool decreased by $0.1 million in fiscal 2024, and the tuition income from Max the Mut College of Animation (“MTM”) increased by $0.2 million in fiscal 2024, and tuition revenue from other educational subsidiaries, including Lowell Academy, Toronto Art Academy and Conbridge are all decreased slightly in fiscal 2024. The increase of tuition revenue from MTM was mainly due to increase of tuition fee per student consistent with the inflation past pandemic.
For our subsidiary Max the Mutt College of Animation, the college had total enrollment of 125 students in 2025, which includes 89 domestic students and 36 international students. 134 students in 2024, which includes 43 domestic students and 91 international students. Benefit from the reputation over its 27 years in animation education, we believe our resource and management have positioned well to maintain healthy and sustainable growth of Max the Mutt College of Animation fiscal 2026.
The number of students enrolled in our online learning platform in Toronto ESchool was 360, 313, and 357 for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. These students enrolled in a total of 500 courses, 424 courses, and 504 courses in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The average fee for each course was $795, $735, and $584 for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.
Sales of products
We purchase and sell a variety of health and wellness nutritional products via one of subsidiary at Guangdong China. These products are distributed exclusively within China through wholesale distributors, physical retail stores, and official online channels. In fiscal year 2025, we generated approximately $1.1 million revenue from this new business line.
Gross profit
Our gross profit decreased by $1.1 million, or 44.4%, to $1.4 million in fiscal 2025 from $2.5 million in fiscal 2024. Gross margin was 28.0% in fiscal 2025, as compared with 27.1% in fiscal 2024. The increase of 0.9% in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the higher (2.3%) gross profit margin for our education service segment due to the increase of efficiency of the operation and teaching system. Also, the gross profit margin for our new business segment of sales of products is much lower than other segments because of the nature of business. The gross profit margin for rental business is consistent with prior years. The gross profit margin for education service income is increased by 2.3% due to lower staffing costs.
Our gross profit decreased by $1.2 million, or 32.5%, to $2.5 million in fiscal 2024 from $3.8 million in fiscal 2023. Gross margin was 27.1% in fiscal 2024, as compared with 44.6% in fiscal 2023. The decrease of 17.5% in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the lower gross profit margin for our rental business segment because of the increased costs in connection with the newly purchased office buildings with low occupancy rates and the higher gross profit margin from our education segment due to lower staffing costs.

Cost of revenue for our rental business decreased by $4.1 million from $6.3 million in fiscal 2024 to $2.2 million in fiscal 2025. Gross margin slightly increased from 21.1% in fiscal 2024 to 21.6% in fiscal 2025, but the gross margin of rental business is consistent. The decrease of cost of revenue is consistent with the decrease of the revenue.
Cost of revenue for our rental business increased by $2.4 million from $3.9 million in fiscal 2023 to $6.3 million in fiscal 2024. Gross margin decreased from 45.0% in fiscal 2023 to 21.1% in fiscal 2024. The increased cost of revenue and decreased gross margin were mainly due to increased costs in connection with the newly purchased office buildings with low occupancy rate in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023. One major tenant signed lease termination agreement with us in September 2022 and its last rent payment was up to July 2023.
Cost of revenue for our education program decreased from $516,042 in fiscal 2024 to $421,049 in fiscal 2025, and gross profit decreased from $845,757 in fiscal 2024 to $763,306 in fiscal 2025. Our gross margin increased from 62.1% in fiscal 2024 to 64.4% in fiscal 2025. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to sharing of staffing costs among different subsidiaries. We believe that the combination of online self-learning, online interactive instructions, as well as in-person education in our education platforms, MTM Animation and vocational college provided by our qualified instructors will be our competitive advantage compared to other education providers.
Cost of revenue for our education program decreased from $770,179 in fiscal 2023 to $516,042 in fiscal 2024, and gross profit increased from $572,192 in fiscal 2023 to $845,757 in fiscal 2024. Our gross margin increased from 42.6% in fiscal 2023 to 62.1% in fiscal 2024. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to sharing of staffing costs among different subsidiaries. We believe that the combination of online self-learning, online interactive instructions, as well as in-person education in our education platforms, MTM Animation and vocational college provided by our qualified instructors will be our competitive advantage compared to other education providers.
During the year, we launched a new business segment focused on the distribution of health and wellness nutritional products. This segment generated cost of sales of approximately $1.0 million and delivered a gross margin of 4.2% for the period. The comparatively low gross margin is consistent with the inherent economics of the nutritional product distribution industry, which typically operates on high-volume, low-margin models driven by competitive pricing, standardized product offerings, and limited differentiation in the wholesale and retail channels. As the segment remains in its early stage, margins also reflect limited scale efficiencies and initial market-entry pricing strategies. Management expects margin performance to improve gradually as the Company expands its product portfolio, strengthens supplier relationships, and increases sales volumes.

General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily include office expenses, travel expenses, commission expenses, insurance expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1,042,680, or 90.8%, from $1,148,172 in fiscal 2024 to $2,190,852 in fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $1.5 million on amortization (i) derecognized two subsidiaries with two rental buildings to third parties in December 2024, and (ii) the take over by a receivership for two offices rental properties in August 2024 and 7 months amortization expenses (approximately $1.1 million) were recorded in general and administrative expenses instead of cost of rental income since the receivership take over. The Company has been consistently implementing initiatives to reduce its general and administrative expenses as part of its broader strategy to streamline operations and improve profitability. Throughout the period, management undertook targeted cost-cutting measures, including headcount optimization, renegotiation of vendor contracts, tighter discretionary-spending controls, and consolidation of non-core functions. Our general and administrative expenses represented 43.4% and 12.2% of our total revenue for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The general objectives of our capital management strategy reside in the preservation of our capacity to continue operating, in providing benefits to our stakeholders and in providing an adequate return on investment to our shareholders by selling our education services at a price commensurate with the level of operating risk assumed by us.
We thus determine the total amount of capital required consistent with risk levels. This capital structure is adjusted on a timely basis depending on changes in the economic environment and risks of the underlying assets. We are not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding loans totaling approximately $41.4 million from banks in Canada and approximately $4.2 million from private lenders. Ms. Zhou, the formerly controlling shareholder, had also periodically advanced funds to support our operations when needed. These advances were non-interest bearing and due upon demand.
Working Capital
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.3 million. Our current assets were approximately $3.8 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $58.3 million, including $41.4 million mortgages in default from Bank of China, $4.2 million of a short-term private mortgage, and $6.9 million liabilities from accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which resulted in a negative working capital of $54.5 million. Total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $5.2 million.
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.6 million. Our current assets were approximately $2.1 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $69.7 million, including mortgage balance of $11.0 million for 2 office buildings held for rental, $44.0 million mortgage in default from Bank of China, $6.6 million of two short-term private mortgages, and $3.4 million liabilities from accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which resulted in a negative working capital of $67.7 million. Total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $17.8 million.

In assessing our liquidity, management monitors and analyzes our cash on-hand, our ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. We plan to fund working capital through our operations, selling 3 office buildings in the market, bank borrowings and additional loans and loan guarantees from Ms. Zhou. We expect to be able to refinance all of our loans upon maturity based on past experience and our good credit history.
On May 19, 2022, we closed our IPO of 283,333 (4,250,000 shares before the share consolidation) Common Shares at a public offering price of $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of $17.0 million. The total net proceeds to the Company from the IPO, after deducting discounts, expense allowance, and expenses, were approximately $14.3 million.
Our primary source of cash is currently generated from our business and bank borrowings in addition to proceeds from related party borrowings. In the coming years, we will be looking to other sources, such as raising additional capital by issuing shares of stock, to meet our cash needs. While facing uncertainties regarding the size and timing of capital raises, we are confident that we can continue to meet operational needs solely by utilizing cash flows generated from our operating activities, borrowings from Ms. Zhou and bank borrowings which may also be guaranteed by Ms. Zhou, as necessary.
We expect our revenue from education sector will continue to grow because of the successful acquisition of Max the Mutt College of Animation on February 28, 2022, the easing of COVID travel restrictions which will facilitate the travel of the international students to Canada, as well Canada’s immigration policy that favors immigrants with post-secondary education degrees.
We have historically funded our working capital needs primarily from operations, bank loans, equity financing, and advances from formerly controlling shareholder. Our management believes that current levels of cash, cash flows from operations and cash flow from bank loans, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. However, it may need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences changed business conditions or other developments, and may also need additional cash resources in the future if it wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, strategic cooperation or other similar actions. If it is determined that the cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash on hand, we may seek to issue additional debt or equity securities or obtain a credit facility.

Future Development

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks
Foreign Exchange Risk
All of our revenues and substantially all of our expenses are denominated in Canadian Dollars (“C$”). In our consolidated financial statements, our financial information that uses C$ as the functional currency has been translated into U.S. dollars. The value of the C$ against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by the changes in Canada’s economic conditions. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to such risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest rates from our borrowings with banks. We have not been exposed to material risks due to the fact that our borrowing interest rates are normally fixed, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate in the future.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. Our objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet our liquidity requirements at any point in time. We achieve this by maintaining sufficient cash and banking facilities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the use of going concern assumptions, valuation of other receivables, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and student list as intangible assets, the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, allocation of cost between building and land newly acquired, valuation of fair value of the derivative liabilities, revenue recognition, fair value of intangible assets at business acquisition, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. Accordingly, these are the policies that we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
29
Revenue recognition
We follow ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will 
not
 occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
We generate our revenues through educational programs and services with individual students. In addition, we generate revenues from other services such as rents, decoration and construction projects, and the sales of vacant lands.
Income Tax
Current income tax payable is based on taxable income for the period. Taxable income differs from income as reported in the statement of income or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Our liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized will be available. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which we expect, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of our assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle our current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This pronouncement introduces new disclosure requirements aimed at enhancing transparency in financial reporting by requiring disaggregation of specific income statement expense captions. Under the new guidance, entities are required to disclose a breakdown of certain expense categories, such as: employee compensation; depreciation; amortization, and other material components. The disaggregated information can be presented either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, often using a tabular format. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
30
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. ASU 2025-03 clarifies the guidance to determine the accounting acquirer in a business combination that is affected primarily by exchanging equity interests, when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. ASU 2025-03 requires entities to consider the same factors in ASC 805, Business Combinations, required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. ASU 2025-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-03 is required to be applied on a prospective basis to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer to incorporate conditions that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases or potential purchases. ASU 2025-04 also eliminates the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for awards with service conditions. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that ASC 606 variable consideration guidance does not apply to share-based payments to customers; instead, vesting probability should be assessed solely under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASU 2025-04 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-04 may be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and introduces a practical expedient available for all entities and an accounting policy election available for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient. These changes apply to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. This simplifies the estimation process for short-term financial assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements. This ASU provides clarifications and targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software, including enhanced guidance on the identification of software development activities, capitalization of implementation costs, and accounting for subsequent upgrades and maintenance. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Clarifications and Share-Based Payments from Customers. This ASU refines the scope of derivative accounting to exclude certain contracts that contain terms or underlying variables specific to one party’s operations and clarifies the accounting for share-based payments received from customers as consideration in revenue arrangements. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In October 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Simplifications for Measuring Credit Losses on Financial Assets. This ASU provides targeted simplifications to the accounting for credit losses under Topic 326, including streamlined guidance for measuring expected credit losses on trade receivables from non-public counterparties and simplified impairment assessment for certain low-risk financial assets. ASU 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Leases (Topic 842): Enhanced Disclosures for Lessees. This ASU enhances the disclosure requirements for lessees by requiring additional qualitative and quantitative information about lease terms, variable lease payments, and the impact of leases on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(IX) Compensation
1. Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section describes the objectives and philosophy of the company's executive compensation arrangements, as well as the application of this philosophy in executive compensation arrangements, and also analyzes the compensation design and the board of directors' proposed decisions on executive compensation. In determining executive compensation arrangements, the Compensation Committee considers the following objectives: (1) retaining executives critical to the company's success and enhancing shareholder value; (2) providing fair and competitive compensation; (3) aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders; (4) rewarding based on individual performance and the company's overall business performance.
2. Benchmarking
The Compensation Committee is responsible for handling compensation-related matters, including benchmarking. In designing, formulating, reviewing, and making recommendations on all executive compensation arrangements, the Compensation Committee considers various factors. The Compensation Committee does not intend to position executive compensation to reflect a single percentile for each executive in the industry, but rather considers factors such as the relative complexity of the executive's role within the organization, the executive's performance and future development potential, and compensation fairness when determining the compensation level for each executive.
3. Elements of Compensation
Executive compensation in any year mainly consists of two parts: (1) Base salary; (2) Long-term incentives in the form of stock options
.
     
Base Salary
:
Recognizes the executive's value to the company based on their role, skills, performance, contributions, leadership, and potential within the company. It is crucial for attracting and retaining executive talent in the company's competitive talent market. Executives' base salaries are expected to be reviewed annually, and any changes to base salaries are typically based on an evaluation of the executive's performance, consideration of compensation levels of executives at similar companies, and a review of the company's overall performance and the executive's role in it.
34
     
Amended and Restated 2024 Restricted Stock Plan:
On November 11, 2024, the board of directors
approved the "Amended and Restated 2023 Restricted Stock Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "2023 Plan") previously approved on May 9, 2023. The plan aims to promote the interests of the company and shareholders by providing a way to attract, retain, and motivate service providers of the company, its subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, whose judgment, initiative, and efforts are crucial to the company's continued success, growth, and development. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or another committee designated by the board of directors (which may include the entire board of directors).
4. Risks Associated with Compensation Policies and Practices
In overseeing and managing executive compensation plans, the Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with compensation policies and practices. The potential risks associated with compensation policies and compensation incentives are considered annually during the review and whenever the Compensation Committee deems necessary. The company's executive compensation policies and practices are designed to align management incentives with the long-term interests of the company and shareholders, and in each case, the company seeks an appropriate balance between risk and reward. Practices aimed at avoiding inappropriate or excessive risk include: (1) Financial controls that establish limits and authorizations in areas such as capital expenditures and operating expenditures to mitigate risk-taking that may affect compensation; (2) Balancing base salary and variable compensation elements; (3) Diversifying compensation through short-term and long-term plans
.
5. Compensation Governance
The Compensation Committee intends to review director compensation annually, with reference to various reports on current trends in director compensation and compensation data for directors of public companies of comparable size. The CEO is expected to review the compensation of senior management for the previous year and compare it with industry standards obtained through public disclosures and surveys. The board of directors expects the CEO to make compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee, which will review and comment on the compensation proposals before making recommendations to the board of directors. The Compensation Committee consists of independent directors, and its responsibilities are to formulate and make recommendations to the directors on matters related to director and executive compensation. For specific responsibilities, refer to the "Section 6.B Compensation — Compensation Governance" section of this annual report.

To adopt a special resolution to amend the Company’s articles of association to delete or change any preferences, rights, conditions, restrictions or prohibitions attached to preferred stock, or to establish special shares with priority equal to or higher than preferred stock, the approval of at least two-thirds of the voting rights at a meeting of holders of preferred stock is required.
Shareholder Meetings
The Ontario Business Corporations Act provides that: (i) the annual meeting of shareholders may be held at a place determined by the directors either within or outside Ontario, or if not determined, at the registered office of the Company; (ii) the directors must convene an annual meeting of shareholders within 18 months after the incorporation of the Company and within 15 months after the last annual meeting; (iii) for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of or participate in voting at a meeting, the directors may set a record date, which shall not be earlier than 50 days or later than 21 days before the date of the meeting for listed companies, and 10 days for non-listed companies; (iv) shareholders holding not less than 5% of the issued voting shares may require the directors to convene a shareholder meeting, stating the purpose of the meeting; (v) only shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, directors and auditors are entitled to attend the shareholder meeting; (vi) upon application by the directors or shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice may order a meeting to be convened, held and conducted in the manner directed by the court.
The Company’s by-laws provide that the quorum for a shareholder meeting is the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding not less than a majority of the voting shares.
41
Holders of common stock are entitled to attend and vote at all shareholder meetings.
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable
All issued common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Objects and Purposes of the Company
Article 5 of the Company’s articles of association registered with the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services provides that the Company’s business operations and exercise of powers are not subject to any restrictions.
Powers of Directors
A director shall not vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which he or she has a material interest, but such transaction shall be approved by a majority of independent directors, and the terms shall not be less favorable than those available from unrelated third parties. Pursuant to the compensation committee charter to be adopted by the board of directors, the committee has the right to determine director’s compensation (including compensation of committee members). Article 2 of the by-laws grants the board of directors the power to delegate to directors or committees the authority to authorize the Company to borrow
money, issue debt instruments, guarantee the obligations of other parties, and create security interests in the Company’s assets to secure the Company’s obligations. The Company’s articles of association and by-laws do not stipulate an age limit for the retirement of directors, nor do they require directors to be shareholders.
Penny Stock Regulation
Regulations promulgated by the SEC generally define a "penny stock" as an equity security with a market price of less than $5.0 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to special sales practice rules, and broker-dealers selling such securities must comply with additional requirements: they must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction; unless exempt, they must provide the purchaser with a disclosure document prepared by the SEC regarding the penny stock market prior to the transaction; they must disclose the commission paid to the broker-dealer and registered representative, the current quotation of the security, and if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, disclose that fact and its presumptive control over the market; in addition, they must send a monthly statement to the account holder disclosing recent price information of the penny stock held and the limited nature of the penny stock market. Since the Company’s common stock may be classified as a penny stock, purchasers may have difficulty selling such shares in the secondary market.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers
Pursuant to the Ontario Business Corporations Act and the Company’s articles of association and by-laws, subject to certain conditions, the Company will indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by law, directors, executive officers, former directors, former executive officers, or individuals who serve as directors, executive officers or similar positions of other entities at the request of the Company, against all expenses, costs and expenses (including settlement amounts or judgment amounts) reasonably incurred by them in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceedings arising out of their association with the Company or such other entity. The Company will advance reasonable expenses related to such proceedings to such individuals, but such individuals shall repay such advances if they fail to meet the following conditions or do not substantially prevail in the defense:
     
Act in good faith and in the best interests of the Company;
     
With respect to proceedings related to criminal or administrative fines, have a reasonable basis to believe that their actions were legal;
     
Not be adjudged by a court or other competent authority to have committed a breach of duty or failure to perform an obligation.
Registration of Common Stock
All transfers of securities are subject to the Ontario Business Corporations Act and the Securities Transfer Act. In addition to the provisions of such laws, the transfer of shares represented by securities certificates may only be registered in the securities register upon submission of such share certificates (with endorsements in accordance with legal requirements or accompanied by duly executed transfer documents), provision of reasonable assurance as to the authenticity and validity of the endorsements as required by the board of directors from time to time, payment of all applicable taxes and fees prescribed by the board of directors, compliance with transfer restrictions authorized by the Company’s articles of association, and satisfaction of certain lien-related requirements set forth in the by-laws.
42
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is Issuer Direct Corporation, located at 1981 Holladay Road, Suite 100, Murray, Utah 84117, USA.
Listing
The Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "GV".
C. Material Contracts
Except for contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business and contracts disclosed in this annual report (including "Item 4. Information on the Company"), the Company has not entered into any other material contracts.
D. Foreign Exchange Control
The Company is incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada. There are no laws, government decrees or regulations in Canada restricting the import or export of capital or affecting the payment of dividends, interest or other amounts to non-resident holders of common stock, subject to withholding tax requirements. Such payments to U.S. residents are generally subject to withholding tax, but the Company does not expect to make such payments in the foreseeable future.
E. Taxation
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general discussion of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company’s common stock to U.S. Holders (as defined below), assuming that such shares are "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (generally, property held for investment) at all relevant times. This discussion is based on the Code, relevant final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, relevant judicial decisions, and interpretive rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Future legislative, judicial or administrative amendments, revocations or interpretations (which may be retroactive) may cause the U.S. federal income tax consequences to differ materially from those discussed below. This discussion is not binding on the IRS, and the Company has not sought or obtained a ruling from the IRS regarding any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions set forth below, or that a U.S. court will not sustain such a challenge.
This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including but not limited to: (i) banks, financial institutions or insurance companies; (ii) regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; (iii) securities or currency brokers or dealers; (iv) tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations) or pension plans; (v) governments or their agencies or instrumentalities; (vi) U.S. expatriates; (vii) taxpayers who elect to mark securities to market; (viii) holders who hold the shares as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or other integrated investment; (ix) holders who acquire the shares through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or warrants, or as compensation for services; (x) holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; (xi) holders who directly, indirectly or constructively own 10% or more of the voting power or value of the Company’s shares; (xii) grantor trusts; (xiii) holders who hold the shares in connection with a trade or business, permanent establishment or fixed base outside Canada.
In addition, this discussion does not address any considerations related to non-U.S., state or local tax laws that may be applicable to U.S. Holders, nor does it address the Medicare tax on net investment income, U.S. federal estate tax, gift tax, other non-income taxes or alternative minimum tax. Each U.S. Holder should consult their tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax and other tax consequences of investing in the Company’s shares.
As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of common stock who is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; (iv) a trust (a) over which a court within the United States exercises primary supervision and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions, or (b) that has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person pursuant to applicable Treasury regulations.
If a pass-through entity (including an S corporation, partnership or other entity taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the owners or partners thereof will generally depend on the status of the owner or partner and the activities of the pass-through entity. U.S. owners or partners of pass-through entities holding the common stock should consult their tax advisors.
43
Dividends on Shares
Subject to the Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") rules discussed below, the portion of any dividends paid by the Company that is determined under U.S. federal income tax principles to be paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits will generally be treated as foreign source dividend income, which a U.S. Holder must include in gross income as ordinary income or "qualified dividend income" (see below) on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received (depending on the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax accounting method). A dividend paid in property other than cash is valued at the fair market value of the property on the date of payment (in U.S. dollars). Since the Company does not intend to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, all dividends paid will generally be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid by the Company do not qualify for the dividends received deduction available to corporations.
If a dividend exceeds the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the excess will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, reducing the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares (thereby increasing any gain or decreasing any loss recognized upon the subsequent disposition of the shares), and any excess over the adjusted tax basis will be taxed as capital gain from the sale or exchange (see below). Since the Company may not calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, the Company expects to report all dividends as dividend income to U.S. Holders.
Dividends received by a U.S. Holder from the Company may qualify as "qualified dividend income" if the shares are listed on the Nasdaq or the Company meets the requirements for benefits under the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention, and certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied (including that the Company does not constitute a PFIC for the taxable year of the dividend and the preceding taxable year). Qualified dividend income is subject to a reduced maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for individual or other non-corporate U.S. Holders.
Subject to certain limitations, Canadian withholding tax paid in respect of dividends on the shares may be claimed as a foreign tax credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, or, subject to applicable limitations, a U.S. Holder may elect to deduct such Canadian withholding tax. The foreign tax credit rules are complex and depend on the specific circumstances of the U.S. Holder, so each U.S. Holder should consult their tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit in their particular situation.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss upon the taxable sale, exchange or other disposition of the shares, equal to the difference between the amount
realized (in U.S. dollars) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares will generally be their cost in U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and if the U.S. Holder holds the shares for more than one year on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, it will be long-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gain of an individual or other non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally subject to a reduced maximum U.S. federal income tax rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the disposition of the shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income for purposes of the foreign tax credit limitation.
PFIC Rules
A non-U.S. company (such as the Company) may be classified as a PFIC for a particular taxable year if it meets either of the following conditions: (a) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income of a specified type ("Income Test"); or (b) 50% or more of the value of its assets consists of assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income ("Asset Test"). The value of assets is calculated based in part on the average fair market value of such assets during the quarter. "Gross income" generally means all sales revenue minus cost of goods sold. "Passive income" generally includes dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, gains from the sale of certain stocks and securities, gains from certain commodity transactions, but excludes active business gains from the sale of certain commodities.
For purposes of calculating the above PFIC Income Test and Asset Test, if the Company directly or indirectly holds 25% or more of the total value of the issued shares of another company, it shall be deemed to hold a proportionate interest in the assets of such other company and to receive directly a proportionate share of the income of such other company. In addition, subject to certain other requirements, "passive income" does not include certain interest, dividends, rents or royalties received or accrued by the Company from a specified "related person" (as defined in the Code), provided that such items are properly allocable to non-passive income of such related person.
Based on the expected composition of the Company’s assets and income, the Company may have been a PFIC for the taxable year ended March 31, 2021 (assuming there were U.S. Holders at that time), primarily due to significant gains from the sale of land (presumed to be gains from passive assets). However, looking forward, the Company expects that it will not be a PFIC for U.S. Holders who acquire shares after March 31, 2021, due to, among other things: (i) the nature of the expected income; (ii) the value of the assets (based on the market price of the shares) will generally be significantly biased towards assets that generate active income. Nevertheless, fluctuations in earnings or income, changes in the market price of the assets held,
may cause the Company to become a PFIC in the current or any subsequent taxable year. Whether the Company is a PFIC is a factual determination that must be made separately at the end of each taxable year. Therefore, the Company cannot assure holders that it will not be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year. If a U.S. Holder holds the shares during any taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all subsequent taxable years unless the U.S. Holder makes a specific election, even if the Company no longer meets the above PFIC identification rules.
44
If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the shares, any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of the shares, and any "excess dividends" (as defined below) received, will be allocated proportionally to the U.S. Holder’s holding period. The amount allocated to the year of disposition (or the year the excess dividend is received) and the years before the Company became a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income; the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be taxed at the highest rate applicable to individuals or corporations for that year, plus interest. For purposes of these rules, an excess dividend is the portion of any dividend received by a U.S. Holder on the shares that exceeds 125% of the average annual dividends received over the past three years (or the holding period, if shorter). If the Company is a PFIC, certain elections (such as the mark-to-market election or the "qualified electing fund" election) may be available that would result in different tax
treatment of the shares than the general PFIC tax treatment described above. However, the Company does not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make the qualified electing fund election (which, if available, would result in different tax treatment than the general PFIC tax treatment described above).
If a U.S. Holder holds the shares during any taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will generally be required to file Form 8621 — Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund with the IRS annually.
Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of the shares if the Company is or may become a PFIC, including any elections that may be available under the PFIC rules (including the mark-to-market election) that may mitigate the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding PFIC shares.
Foreign Currency Receipts
The U.S. dollar value of cash dividends received by a U.S. Holder in Canadian dollars is determined at the exchange rate on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars on that date. For a U.S. Holder using the accrual method of accounting, the amount realized on the disposition of shares settled in Canadian dollars is determined at the U.S. dollar value on the date of disposition; on the settlement date, the U.S. Holder shall recognize U.S. source foreign currency exchange gain or loss (taxed as ordinary income or loss) in an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the exchange rate on the date of disposition and the U.S. dollar value of the amount based on the exchange rate on the settlement date. However, for shares traded on an established securities market, a U.S. Holder using the cash method of accounting (or an accrual method U.S. Holder who elects such treatment) determines the amount realized at the spot exchange rate on the settlement date of the disposition, and does not recognize exchange gain or loss at that time. The tax basis of Canadian dollars held by a U.S. Holder is generally the U.S. dollar value on the date the Canadian dollars are received, the date of disposition of the shares (or the settlement date for cash method U.S. Holders and accrual method U.S. Holders who elect such treatment). If a U.S. Holder converts or disposes of Canadian dollars after the date of receipt, the U.S. Holder may realize foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which will be taxed as ordinary income or loss and generally treated as U.S. source income or loss for purposes of the foreign tax credit. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, holding and disposing of Canadian dollars.
Disclosure of Specified Foreign Financial Assets
Individuals and certain entities holding "specified foreign financial assets" with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 (or a higher threshold in certain cases) are generally required to disclose such assets on their annual tax returns by filing Form 8938 — Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. "Specified foreign financial assets" include any financial account maintained by a specified foreign financial institution, and securities issued by non-U.S. persons (if not held in a financial institution account). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of these disclosure requirements in connection with holding the Company’s shares.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, dividends paid to U.S. Holders on the shares, and gains from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the shares within the United States, are subject to information reporting requirements (except for the Company or other exempt recipients). If a U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status, or fails to fully report dividend and interest income, such payments may be subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and any amount withheld pursuant to the backup withholding rules may be claimed as a refund or credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S.
federal income tax liability upon timely filing of the required information with the IRS.
Specific Canadian Tax Consequences for Canadian and Non-Canadian Investors
Disclaimer:
This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act in effect as of the date of this report and our understanding of the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") published in writing prior to the date of this report. This summary takes into account all proposed amendments and assumes that all proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed. However, there can be no assurance that the proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed or at all. This summary
does not consider or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy made through legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action, nor does it consider the tax laws or related considerations of any provincial, territorial or foreign jurisdiction (which may differ from the discussion below).
45
Taxes are only payable when a taxpayer disposes of the shares. As a resident of Canada, a taxpayer is subject to Canadian income tax on their worldwide investment income (Section 2 (1) of the Income Tax Act).
Since the Company may qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Securities Exchange Act, it is exempt from complying with certain U.S. securities rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. For income tax purposes, a foreign private issuer is not necessarily defined as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, gains from commodity and securities transactions, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that produces passive income. In determining whether a non-U.S. company is a PFIC, consideration is given to the proportionate income and assets of each company in which it directly or indirectly holds a 25% or more interest (by value). Interests in companies in which less than a 25% interest is held are treated as passive assets.
A. Canadian Holders — Residents of Canada for Tax Purposes
     
Residence Considerations
Tax law provides that a public corporation is generally defined as a Canadian resident corporation within the meaning of Section 89 (1) of the Income Tax Act whose shares are listed on a designated Canadian stock exchange (including the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), TSX Venture Exchange Tier 1 or 2, Montreal Exchange, Canadian National Stock Exchange and NEO Exchange (formerly Aequitas NEO Exchange)). Therefore, a company listed only on a foreign exchange is not within the definition of a "public corporation", which is the case with the Company.
Dividends
Dividends from Canadian public corporations traded on U.S. exchanges are generally not subject to U.S. non-resident withholding tax. Dividends from Canadian public corporations are treated as Canadian-source dividends regardless of the stock exchange on which they are traded.
Pursuant to Section 90 (1) of the Income Tax Act (relating to shares of foreign corporations), Canadian residents investing in shares traded on U.S. exchanges are not required to file a U.S. income tax return solely because of such investment, unless there are other reporting reasons (such as being a U.S. citizen). All income and capital gains derived from foreign shares must be reported on the taxpayer’s Canadian income tax return. Foreign dividends are generally subject to withholding tax when paid, and taxpayers may recover at least part of such withholding tax by claiming a foreign non-business tax credit. If the shares are held in a registered account (such as an RRSP or RRIF), no withholding tax is generally payable; if held in a TFSA, the withholding tax will be deducted and cannot be recovered. U.S. assets (including shares of U.S. corporations) held by Canadian residents at the time of their death may be subject to U.S. estate tax.
Dividends paid by foreign corporations to Canadian shareholders do not qualify for the dividend tax credit, so for Canadian income tax reporting purposes, the full amount of the dividend (before withholding tax) must be included in income, and the adjusted cost base ("ACB") of the foreign shares must be calculated in Canadian dollars. If the purchase price is paid by transferring Canadian funds, the exchange rate at the time of transfer is used; if foreign funds are used to purchase or sell the shares, the CRA currently requires
that the exchange rate on the settlement date be used to convert to Canadian dollars.
Distributions paid by non-resident corporations to Canadian shareholders are generally treated as foreign dividends and fully taxable. Even if such distributions are classified as capital gains or return of capital for U.S. tax purposes, they are still treated as fully taxable for Canadian tax purposes. For Canadian tax purposes, a distribution from a non-resident corporation is treated as a return of capital (thereby reducing the ACB pursuant to Section 53 (2)(b)(ii) of the Income Tax Act) only if the distribution is treated as a return of capital under corporate law (not U.S. tax law), and this rule also applies to foreign (non-resident) mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. In certain cases, exceptions may apply if the non-resident corporation is a "foreign affiliate" of the Canadian taxpayer (one of the criteria is that the Canadian taxpayer holds at least 1% of the non-resident corporation).
Dividend income must be converted into Canadian dollars to determine the amount to be included in income, and taxpayers may use the exchange rate on the date the foreign dividend is received or the annual average exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada to calculate all dividends received during the year.
For corporate entity investors, the tax treatment of investment income may include property income (including rents, interest, dividends and royalties). The tax rate on capital gains of corporate entities is 50% of the tax rate on investment income, as only 50% of capital gains are taxable. If the principal business of a corporate entity is earning investment income (property income), the corporate entity is generally considered a specified investment business and is not eligible for the small business deduction.
Dividends received by a corporation do not qualify for the gross-up and dividend tax credit. Dividends received from Canadian corporations may be deducted pursuant to Section 112 of the Income Tax Act, but such dividends may be subject to Part IV tax at a rate of 40% (33.33% for taxable years ended before 2016), which is added to the corporation’s refundable dividend tax on hand ("RDTOH"). When a private corporation pays dividends to its shareholders, it may claim a dividend refund from the RDTOH.
46
Under Canadian trust law, capital gains realized by a trust are generally considered part of the trust’s capital; however, for income tax purposes, taxable capital gains realized by a trust are included in its income. In certain cases, all or part of the taxable capital gains realized by a trust may be included in the income of one or more beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the trust, and since such amount has been included in the trust’s income, the beneficiary may claim a corresponding deduction. The portion of the
taxable capital gains realized by the trust that is paid or payable to the beneficiaries is included in the beneficiaries’ income pursuant to Section 104 (13) of the Income Tax Act.
In addition, even if taxable capital gains do not constitute trust income under trust law, they are still included in "accumulated income" (as defined in Section 108 (1) of the Income Tax Act), so the amount of taxable capital gains may be included in the income of the preferred beneficiaries through the preferred beneficiary election provided for in Section 104 (14). Actions taken by the trustees of the trust to cause the amount of taxable capital gains to be included in the beneficiaries’ income pursuant to Section 104 (13) or (14) shall not violate the terms of the trust deed.
Tax Conventions
Tax conventions eliminate double taxation by:
Clarifying the right of each country to tax or not to tax specific types of income; and/or
Requiring one of the countries to provide a tax credit for taxes paid.
Tax conventions take precedence over the provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act and are relevant to the taxation of foreign source income of Canadian residents, while non-Canadian residents need to consider the application of tax conventions to their Canadian source income. Due to the geographical proximity to the United States, the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention is most relevant to Canadian resident taxpayers earning Canadian source income.
Examples of some issues addressed by the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention include:
Rules for determining residency when an individual or corporation is considered a resident of both Canada and the United States;
The definition of a permanent establishment for determining whether a Canadian resident is carrying on business in the United States or Canada;
The withholding tax rate on U.S. dividends or interest earned by Canadian residents.
Canadian residents who have submitted Form W-8BEN — Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for U.S. Tax Withholding and Reporting to their investment brokers are entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate of 15% pursuant to the convention between the two countries.
Capital Gains and Losses
Pursuant to Sections 3 (b), 38 (a) and 248 (1) of the Income Tax Act, a capital gain or loss is the gain or loss arising from the disposition of property (such as stocks, bonds, works of art, stamp collections, real estate and promissory notes). Gains and losses from bad debts, foreign exchange, and call and put options are generally also treated as capital gains or losses.
Capital Gains on the Sale of U.S. Securities Capital gains realized on the sale or redemption of shares of U.S. corporations are generally not subject to withholding tax, and such capital gains or losses are subject to Canadian tax and enjoy the same preferential tax treatment as the sale of Canadian shares (i.e., 50% of the capital gain/loss is included in taxable income).
Corporate Actions Certain corporate actions involving shares of U.S. and other foreign corporations may be tax-free for Canadian tax purposes. Each corporate action is unique, and taxpayers should review the relevant transaction documents before taking any action with respect to the securities.
In certain cases, a loss on shares or debt may be treated as a business investment loss rather than a capital loss, see the link to the article on business investment losses below.
Taxable capital gains are 50% of capital gains, and capital gains or losses are calculated by subtracting the original cost of the asset from the proceeds received from the sale of the asset. Since only 50% of the gain is taxable, the tax burden on capital gains is lower than that on income such as interest.
47
Allowable capital losses are 50% of capital losses, and may only be used to reduce or offset taxable capital gains, but in the year of the taxpayer’s death or the immediately preceding year, may be used to reduce other income.
Foreign Tax Credit ("FTC")
Generally, Section 126 (1) of the Income Tax Act allows a Canadian resident taxpayer to deduct a foreign tax credit from their current year’s tax liability to offset "non-business income tax" (as defined in Section 126 (7) of the Income Tax Act) paid by the taxpayer in the current year. Pursuant to Section 126 (1), the foreign tax credit must be calculated separately for each country, and taxes paid to the United States may only be used to offset Canadian tax imposed on U.S. source non-business income.
Generally, in determining the source of capital gains arising from the disposition of shares for the purpose of applying the foreign tax credit provided for in Section 126, consideration is given to the specific factors
outlined in Paragraph 1.65 of the Tax Guide. However, if Canada has entered into a tax convention with the country in which the tax is paid, consideration must be given to whether the terms of the convention may affect and modify the general source rules. Generally, pursuant to Paragraph 2 (a) of Article 23 of the Convention, Canada shall provide a foreign tax credit for taxes paid to the United States on profits, income or gains from U.S. sources, subject to the existing provisions of Canadian law.
Foreign Exchange on the Purchase and Sale of Securities
Individuals most commonly encounter foreign exchange gains or losses when purchasing or selling securities settled in foreign currencies. To distinguish ordinary capital gains from gains attributable to foreign exchange within the meaning of Section 39 (2) of the Income Tax Act, IT-95R provides examples of when the tax authorities consider Section 39 (2) to apply:
(a) When converting foreign currency funds into another foreign currency or Canadian dollars;
(b) When using foreign currency funds to make a purchase or payment, the gain or loss is the difference between the Canadian dollar value of the foreign currency when it was acquired and the Canadian dollar value when the purchase or payment is made.
B. Non-Canadian Holders — Non-Residents of Canada for Tax Purposes
The basic principle of Canadian income tax is to tax Canadian residents, but in certain cases, non-residents may be subject to Canadian income tax. Depending on the type of income, taxes may be imposed pursuant to Part I, Part XIII or other parts of the Income Tax Act. The following discusses Part I and Part XIII taxes (the most commonly applicable provisions) in detail. Section 2 (3) of the Income Tax Act provides that non-residents are subject to Canadian Part I tax (imposed on taxable income) on the following types of income:
Income earned in carrying on a business in Canada;
Employment income earned in Canada;
Gains and losses from the disposition of taxable Canadian property.
(1) Not a resident of Canada and not deemed to be a resident of Canada under the Canadian Income Tax Act or any applicable income tax convention or agreement;
(2) Dealing at arm’s length with the Company;
(3) Not using or holding (and not deemed to be using or holding) the common stock for the purpose of carrying on a business in Canada; (such holders are referred to as "non-Canadian Holders").
Special rules (not discussed in this summary) may apply to non-Canadian Holders that are insurance companies carrying on business in Canada and other jurisdictions.
For purposes of dividend payments under the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention and the rules of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act, most types of dividends are subject to Part XIII tax at a rate of 25%, including capital dividends (even if not taxable when received by Canadian residents). Although the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention does not prohibit the application of this tax to U.S. residents, the convention provides for a reduced applicable tax rate, depending on the proportion of the shares of the dividend-paying company held by the non-resident recipient:
5% Rate If the U.S. resident recipient is a corporation and holds 10% or more of the voting shares of the Canadian resident company paying the dividend, the applicable tax rate is only 5%. This 5% rate on intercompany dividends reflects the view that dividend payments between a parent company and its subsidiary should be subject to reduced taxation to encourage international trade and investment.
48
15% Rate Other dividends paid by a Canadian resident company to U.S. resident shareholders are subject to Part XIII withholding tax at a reduced rate of 15%.

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk, Hedging and Financial Instruments
The Company’s business activities are exposed to various financial risks, including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The Company analyzes each risk individually and interrelatedly and formulates strategies to manage their economic impact on operating results in accordance with the financial risk management policy. Management holds regular meetings to review the results of risk assessments, approve proposed risk management strategies, monitor compliance with financial risk management policies, and report to the audit committee.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when transactions of its subsidiaries involve borrowings, investments, sales, purchases, royalties, license fees, management fees and interest expenses/income in non-functional currencies. To manage this risk, the Company mainly holds cash deposits in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, the amounts of which match future budgeted expenditures.
With respect to foreign exchange risk of firm commitments and forecast transactions, the Company’s policy is to hedge reasonably expected operating transactions (such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) when the amounts are material, with the forecast period determined in accordance with the financial risk management policy. Firm operating transactions that are expected to occur may be hedged without time limitation. Non-operating transactions (such as the acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries) may be hedged once determined.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has substantially locked in the expected risk exposure of firm commitments and forecast transactions related to major currency pairs (such as USD/CAD) for 2025.
50
Interest Rate Risk
In the future, the Company may be exposed to interest rate risk on financial liabilities with variable interest rates. At that time, the Company will adopt a dynamic interest rate hedging approach and regularly review the target mix ratio of fixed and floating interest rates. The purpose of this policy is to achieve an optimal balance between financing costs and financial performance volatility, taking into account market conditions and the overall business strategy. In the future, the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements and forward rate agreements to manage interest rate risk, or cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage both foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Interest rates have fluctuated significantly recently and may continue to fluctuate in the future.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors (such as rising product costs and management expenses) may have an adverse impact on operating results. If the selling price of products fails to increase proportionally with cost increases, high inflation rates may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to maintain current gross profit margins and the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to net income.
Other Risks
A more comprehensive quantitative and qualitative discussion of the credit risk and liquidity risk faced by the Company, as well as related management policies, is included in the audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the "Risk Factors" section of this Form 20-F report.
Item 12. Description of Securities Other Than Equity Securities
Not applicable.
Part II
Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies
Since its inception, the Company has not had any defaults related to dividends, arrearages or delinquencies.
Item 14. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
No material changes have been made to the rights of holders of common stock since the Company’s inception.
Item 15. Controls and Procedures
A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15 (b) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act 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 management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
B. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 (f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of external financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes the following policies and procedures:
Maintaining records of reasonable detail accurately and fairly to reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
51
Providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors;
Providing reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency (or combination of deficiencies) in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the 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, but important enough to merit attention by those responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and participation of management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer), the Company evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 version). Based on this evaluation, management determined that as of March 31, 2025, the Company had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting due to the following significant deficiencies and material weaknesses:
     
Lack of an effective internal audit function or personnel to oversee the consistency of preventive internal control procedures, which may result in failure to identify problems in internal controls and prevent misconduct;
     
Lack of structured information technology general control policies and procedures, including documentation of program changes, regular review of transaction logs, control quality assessment, backup and recovery testing, and centralized antivirus detection, which may result in failure to accurately collect operating data for the preparation of financial statements;
     
Lack of controls or appropriate processes for the retention of supporting documentation, which may significantly delay the audit process and incur additional costs;
     
Limited segregation of duties in bank transaction authorization, which may result in financial reporting misstatements or fraud due to the lack of controls to prevent and/or detect such events;
     
Lack of adequate controls over the overall accounting function and financial reporting oversight, leading to audit adjustments proposed by the independent auditors;
     
Lack of timely and reliable communication channels between different departments to ensure that all relevant parties are fully informed of all transactions entered into by the Company;
     
Lack of appropriate internal review procedures for the accounting treatment of special and complex transactions (such as initial public offerings and new company acquisitions), which may result in adjustment differences and unadjusted differences;
     
Delays in the filing and payment of income taxes and sales taxes, which may result in additional penalties and interest expenses;
     
Lack of a formal budget process by the Company, leading to challenges in cash management, especially when large liabilities need to be paid;
     
Material weaknesses in corporate governance.
Remediation Measures
During and subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2025, management has taken and plans to take the following measures to remediate the above material weaknesses:
     
Develop formal internal control policies and procedures, conduct ongoing initiatives and training within the Company to ensure that all employees fully understand the importance of internal controls and the requirements for complying with established policies and procedures, provide ongoing U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles knowledge training for relevant employees, and ensure that policies and procedures are properly followed;
52
     
Continue efforts to recruit personnel with strong SEC reporting, Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX") and internal control backgrounds to strengthen remediation efforts;
     
Implement new applications and systems related to the establishment of strong internal controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of financial information;
     
Develop clear and appropriate processes/internal controls, assign responsible persons, retain supporting documentation of accounting records for at least six years in accordance with the requirements of the CRA, and make electronic copies of the documents for organized storage in the Company’s database for easy retrieval when needed;
     
Establish appropriate information and communication processes within the Group to ensure that Group management (especially the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) are fully informed of the status of all material transactions. The Chief Financial Officer (or their authorized person) shall promptly collect all material contracts and related amendments, other supporting documents, determine the appropriate accounting treatment and accounting entries, and regularly review the accounting records of all entities; the Chief Financial Officer and headquarters shall perform bank reconciliations for all bank accounts;
     
Establish sound internal controls to regulate the initiation, processing, recording and reporting of material transactions between the Company and the formerly controlling shareholder, reconcile the Company’s accounting records with the shareholder loan transactions in the signed legal documents, and the audit committee shall review such transactions and reconciliations quarterly to ensure consistency;
     
Implement a sound budget and cash management system to ensure that the Company has sufficient resources available when needed, effectively meet liabilities, and maintain financial stability;
     
Update the corporate governance framework to comply with U.S. securities regulations and disclosure rules, the board of directors shall hold meetings to approve all material transactions, regularly review the related party balances between the Company and the formerly controlling shareholder to ensure accuracy and completeness, regularly discuss with the Company’s U.S. securities counsel to ensure that all practices comply with U.S. securities regulations, and improve the Company’s transparency, compliance and corporate governance level;
     
Establish sound internal controls for bank transaction authorization, segregation of duties and a multi-level approval matrix for various transactions, require at least two signatories for check issuance, update the corporate governance framework in accordance with U.S. securities regulations and disclosure rules, require additional approval layers for transactions exceeding a certain threshold, and require all material transactions to be approved by the board of directors at a meeting;
     
Develop appropriate review procedures to ensure that all special and complex transactions are properly accounted for in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and if possible, engage external financial reporting experts to regularly review the Company’s financial statements;
     
Prepare a schedule detailing the filing and payment deadlines for all applicable entities, update it regularly to ensure compliance with the deadlines, and avoid interest and penalty expenses.
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is considered remediated only after the information technology general controls and process-level controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has tested and concluded that they are designed and operating effectively. The Company cannot guarantee that these remediation measures will be successful or that internal control over financial reporting will thereby become effective. In addition, in the course of continuing to evaluate and improve internal control over financial reporting related to the identified material weaknesses, management may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify the above remediation plan.
C. Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Not applicable.
D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management continues to focus on internal control over financial reporting. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has completed certain reviews of internal controls and will implement the following remediation initiatives, including hiring more qualified accounting personnel and consultants with relevant U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles training; the Company also plans to take other measures to strengthen internal control over financial reporting, including providing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting regulations training for existing accounting personnel; establishing an internal audit function to standardize the Company’s semi-annual and annual closing and financial reporting processes; engaging external financial consultants with experience in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and SEC reporting obligations; hiring more accounting personnel with relevant experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and establish a financial and system control framework; implementing regular and ongoing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles accounting and financial reporting training programs for accounting and financial reporting personnel; establishing an internal audit function and engaging external consulting firms to assist in assessing SOX compliance requirements and improving overall internal controls.

Not applicable.
Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
None.
Item 16F. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
None.
Item 16G. Corporate Governance
As an Ontario corporation listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company is subject to the corporate governance listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, Nasdaq Capital Market rules allow foreign private issuers like the Company to follow the corporate governance practices of their home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Company’s home country (Ontario) may differ materially from the corporate governance listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to follow the following home country practices in lieu of the relevant requirements of the Nasdaq Market Rules:
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) requires that a majority of the board of directors of a listed company consist of independent directors; however, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is entitled to follow home country practices in lieu of the foregoing requirement. Corporate governance practices in the Company’s home country (Ontario) do not require a majority of the board of directors to be independent, and currently a majority of the Company’s board of directors are independent directors.
The Company does not intend to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 regarding shareholder approval for certain securities issuances. Pursuant to the amended articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Company, the board of directors has the authority to issue securities, including securities related to the acquisition of shares or assets of another company, the adoption or amendment of employee equity compensation plans, changes in control of the Company, rights offerings at or below market prices, certain private placements, the issuance of convertible notes, and the issuance of shares representing 20% or more of the outstanding common shares.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(b)(3) requires listed companies to disclose the compensation of third-party directors and director candidates; however, as a foreign private issuer, the Company is entitled to follow home country practices in lieu of the foregoing requirement. Corporate governance practices in the Company’s home country (Ontario) do not require the disclosure of compensation of third-party directors and director candidates.
Except as disclosed above, the Company’s corporate governance practices are not materially different from those followed by U.S. domestic companies in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards. In the future, the Company may decide to avail itself of foreign private issuer exemptions from other Nasdaq corporate governance rules, and therefore, shareholders may receive less protection than that provided by the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards for U.S. domestic issuers. These exemptions may be utilized as long as the Company continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer.
In addition, the Company is a foreign private issuer as defined under the rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and therefore is exempt from complying with certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic listed companies, such as:
No requirement to file reports under the Exchange Act as frequently as domestic listed companies;
Interim reports need only comply with home country requirements (which are less stringent than the rules applicable to domestic listed companies);
No requirement to provide the same level of disclosure on certain matters (such as executive compensation);
Exemption from complying with the provisions of Regulation FD designed to prevent selective disclosure of material information by issuers;
No requirement to comply with the provisions of the Exchange Act regarding the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of registered securities;
Insiders
are not required to comply with the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (which require such individuals and entities to publicly report their share ownership and trading activities and to disgorge profits realized from “short-swing transactions”);
55
As a foreign private issuer, the Company files annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, and due to the reduced reporting requirements, shareholders may not have access to certain information they may consider important.
On August 9, 2024, the Company convened its 2024 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). At the meeting, the new board of directors was deliberated and elected, and the resolution regarding the full conversion of the Class A common shares held by 3888 Investment Group Limited into Class B common shares with super-voting rights was also deliberated and adopted.
Item 16H. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 16I. Disclosure of Foreign Jurisdictions That Hinder Inspections
Not applicable.
Item 16J. Insider Trading Policy
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Company’s disclosure obligations are reduced pursuant to SEC rules. Currently, the Company has not
adopted
a formal insider trading policy because the Ontario Business Corporations Act or other local laws and regulations do not require the Company to do so. However, as the Company continues to grow and develop, it is evaluating the adoption of an insider trading policy to comply with best practices and ensure compliance with applicable insider trading laws.
Item 16K. Cybersecurity
As an emerging growth company and small reporting company, the Company has a limited business scale and has not yet adopted a formal cybersecurity risk management plan or established formal processes for assessing cybersecurity risks. However, the Company recognizes the importance of managing risks related to cybersecurity threats and is committed to implementing and maintaining adequate information security
programs as the Company develops to protect the Company’s systems and data.
The Company’s current approach to managing cybersecurity risks includes a series of practices applicable to all users of information technology systems and assets (including employees and contractors), including technology usage, policy implementation, training provision, and continuous monitoring to enhance security awareness and prevent security incidents.
Given that the Company’s projects are in the initial stage of development, the Company believes that the cybersecurity threats it faces are limited, mainly involving email communications and data storage. Financial transactions are conducted through well-known financial institutions, and accounting and employee information is stored by external accounting firms.
As of the date of this report, the Company has not experienced any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have had a material impact or could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on its business, operating results, or financial condition in the past three years. However, the Company cannot guarantee that no such incidents will occur in the future. For more information, please refer to the risk factor “The Company faces information systems and cybersecurity risks” on page 4 of this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Visionary Holdings Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Visionary Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses of $15.7 million, cash outflow of $3.0 million from operating activities, and negative working capital of $54.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. We also draw attention to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, which describes the receiverships of two building in relation to the default of bank loans due to Bank of China. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and the shareholders of
Visionary Holdings Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Visionary Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered loss from operations in the current year and has a working capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

On February 28, 2022, the Company and the original shareholders of MTM Animation signed an amended agreement to transfer the remaining 30% of the purchased shares over three years by transferring 10% of the purchased shares each year after the Company making three payments of $80,030, $80,030, and $64,024 (C$100,000, C$100,000, and C$80,000) on February 28, 2023, February 28, 2024 and February 28, 2025, respectively. On June 24, 2022, additional 10% of the equity was purchased by the Company for $80,030 (C$100,000) and the Company has owned 80% of total equity of MTM Animation as at March 31, 2024.
On April 28, 2022, Ms. Fan Zhou incorporated 13995291 Canada Inc. and on May 20, 2022, the shares were transferred to the Company. As the result, 13995291 Canada Inc. becomes the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purpose of incorporating 13995291 Canada Inc. is to hold the two office buildings at 95-105 Moatfield Drive, Toronto, pursuant to the purchase agreement signed on May 19, 2021. The purchase was closed on September 23, 2022.
On July 26, 2022, in order to better use the capital raised in connection with the IPO, improve the efficiency of the operations, streamline the business lines to focus on its core education sector, and optimize the structure of the vocational educational business, the Board of the Company approved to divest its three subsidiaries: Visionary Immigration, Farvision HR, and Princeton Education. The divestiture of these three subsidiaries does not represent a strategic shift of the Company and has no major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
On October 31, 2023, 100% of registered capital of Shanghai Yuanjian was transferred from an unrelated individual to the Company and therefore the Company acquired Shanghai Yuanjian and its subsidiaries.
On December 1, 2023, the Company incorporated Visionary Asia SDN. BHD and Visionary International SDN. BHD in Malaysia for its business expansion.
On December 15, 2023, the Company entered into a share transfer agreement to purchase 100% shares of Bethune Great Health Investment Management Inc. (“Bethune”) at a price of $478,613 (C$648,000).

On March 14, 2025, the Company entered agreement for 100% shares of Visionary Holdings (Asia) Limited from an unrelated individual.
 
Going Concern
 
As of March 31, 2025, the Company's cash balance was $334,910 (compared to $620,910 as of March 31, 2024), while the Company's total current liabilities exceeded total current assets by approximately $54.5 million (compared to $67.6 million in the same period of the previous year). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a net loss of $15.7 million, whereas it recorded a net profit of $1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. On August 27, 2024, two buildings owned by the Company were taken over by a receivership appointed by the Ontario Superior Court, which was initiated by the lender Bank of China due to default of the loan. The receivership was an event indicating that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. After assessing the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, impairment loss of $4,695,912 was recorded for the year ended March 31, 2025.
 
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and the classification of liabilities. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its capacity to secure additional capital and achieve operating profits. In light of the foregoing, the Company currently plans to fund its operations and ongoing acquisition projects primarily through the following means: cash flows generated from operating activities (including revenues from historical business operations), new businesses actively developed since September 2023 (such as AI-driven large health projects and collaborations between artificial intelligence and the international education sector). In addition, the Company is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities to enhance business cash flows. To ensure the Company's continued operations and development, it is actively developing a new high-end anti-aging medical beauty business, focusing primarily on the Southeast Asian and North American markets. This new business is expected to generate substantial revenues for the Company in the future. Meanwhile, the Company is proactively implementing measures such as debt restructuring (debt-to-equity swaps with external investors), private placement financing, disposal of owned real estate, and borrowings from formerly controlling shareholders to secure sufficient working capital for active development and daily operations. However, there can be no guarantee that these efforts will be successful, and these events or circumstances involve uncertainties that may affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Visionary Group and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
Non-controlling Interests
 
As of March 31, 2025, non-controlling interests represent 30%, 20%, 20%, 20% and 49% non-controlling, non-related shareholders’ interests in Toronto ESchool, Arts Academy, Conbridge College, MTM Animation, and Guangdong Yuanjian respectively.
 
As of March 31, 2024, non-controlling interests represented 30%, 20%, 30%, 20% and 20% non-controlling, non-related shareholders’ interests in Toronto ESchool, Arts Academy, Lowell Academy, Conbridge College, and MTM Animation respectively.
 
The non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the operating results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) as an allocation of the total income or loss between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the use of going concern assumptions, valuation of other receivables, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and student list as intangible assets, the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, allocation of cost between building and land newly acquired, valuation of fair value of the derivative liabilities, revenue recognition, fair value of intangible assets at business acquisition, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, the balances with banks and the liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company maintains majority its bank accounts in Canada (except two in China and its subsidiaries) which are insured by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to C$100,000 each for eligible deposits. Bank balances in Toronto ESchool and MTM Animation exceeded the insured limit of $14,807 (C$21,290), and $25,442 (C$36,581) as of March 31, 2025, respectively. No liquid investment with maturities of three months or less is held by the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. All bank accounts maintained in P.R. China are insured by the China Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), with a deposit insurance limit of $68,885 (RMB 500,000). All bank accounts in China did not exceed the insured limit as of March 31, 2025.

Restricted Cash
 
The Company’s subsidiaries Conbridge College and MTM Animation are required to maintain a term deposit with a financial institution as collateral for an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued in favor of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities under the Ontario Private Career Colleges Act 2005. As at March 31, 2025, the Company had term deposit of $22,983 and $214,214 respectively at these two subsidiaries as the required collateral which was classified as restricted cash – non-current in the consolidated balance sheet. (March 31, 2024 - $23,179 and $129,255 respectively).
 
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statement of balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses. The Company usually determines the adequacy of allowance for credit losses based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for credit losses after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. There was $2,381 (C$3,312) bad debt from MTM due to uncollectable student tuition and no allowance for credit losses were recorded for the year ended March 31, 2025.
 
Prepayments and Other Receivables
 
Prepayments and other receivables primarily consist of advances to non-related suppliers for short term operation support, employee advances, and prepayments on property taxes and other expenses. These advances are interest free, unsecured and short-term in nature and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. No impairment was recorded as of March 31, 2024, as the Company considered all of the prepayments to be fully realizable and the advances to be repaid. $509,606 allowance from Shanghai Yuanjian due to slowing collection of other receivables was impaired and recorded at year ended March 31, 2025.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
 
 
 
Useful life
 
Buildings
 
 
30 years
 
Furniture and equipment
 
 
Decline method at 20%
 
Land
 
 
Not depreciated
 
Computer and software
 
 
Decline method at 30%
 
Leasehold improvement
 
 
Straight line over 5 years
 
 
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income as other income or expenses.
 
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
An intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis at year end, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset could be below its carrying amount.
 
The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of i) the registrations and qualifications arising from acquisitions of Lowell Academy, Art School, and Toronto ESchool which allow the Company to grant credits to students under Ontario Secondary School Diploma (the “OSSD”) by qualified secondary schools registered at Ontario Ministry of Education, ii) the registrations and the qualifications to operate as a private career college registered with Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, arising from the acquisitions of equity interest of Conbridge College and MTM Animation, and iii) the brand name and reputation in the education market arising from acquisition of MTM Animation equity interest.
 
In testing the indefinite-lived intangibles assets for potential impairment, the Company applies either a qualitative test, or a quantitative test, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 350”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. A qualitative approach may be applied when the Company concludes that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than their carrying value. A quantitative impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be recognized for the carrying amount in excess of its fair value. Significant judgment and estimates are applied when evaluating whether an intangible asset has an indefinite useful life and in testing for impairment. The Company has not recognized any impairment on indefinite-lived intangible assets for years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
 
Definite-Lived
Intangible
Assets
 
The intangible assets with definite lives are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms. The Company recognized intangible assets of student lists arising from acquisition of Lowell Academy and MTM Animation. These intangible assets are amortized over the term between 14 years upon their graduation. As at March 31, 2025, the Company recognized intangible assets as student list of $30,602 from MTM Animation. (March 31, 2024: $64,997), and impairment loss of $nil from student list recognized at MTM Animation for the year ended March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: $nil). Intangible assets as student list from MTM Animation was amortized for $31,632 for year ended March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: $32,630).

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized separately from goodwill when they are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights, and have fair values that can be reliably measured. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of goodwill could be below its carrying amount. The Company has not recognized any impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, definitive-lived intangible assets, and ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of its convertible notes and the Series A and B warrants in connection with these convertible notes shall be classified as derivative liabilities. Company engaged an independent valuation firm to perform the valuation. The fair value of the conversion feature, Series A and B warrants is calculated using the binomial tree model. These financial instruments are classified as level 3 instruments as the valuation was determined based on unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Significant estimates used in developing the fair value of these financial instruments include the probability to convert, variability of conversion price due to future stock price and exchange rate, and expected timing of conversion, etc.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, short-term investment, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related party, due from related party, related parties loan receivable, loan receivable, other receivable (excluding tax receivable), short-term restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to related parties, current portion of lease liabilities, loan portion of convertible notes and short-term bank loans approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company believes that the carrying amount of the short-term and long-term borrowings approximates fair value at March 31, 2025 and 2024 based on the terms of the borrowings and current market rates as the rates of the borrowings are reflective of the current market rates.

Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As one of the Company’s leases does not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date is used. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payment made and excludes lease incentives. The Company may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets and liabilities of the business acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired business are included in the income statement from the date of acquisition.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will 
not
 occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company generates its revenues through educational programs and services with individual students. In addition, the Company generates revenues from other services such as sale of vacant lands, rental, and renovation projects. The primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:

Revenue Recognition (Continued)
Revenue from educational programs and services
Each contract of educational programs and services is accounted for as a single performance obligation which is satisfied proportionately over the service period.
For the Company’s online education courses, tuition fee is generally collected in advance and is initially recorded as deferred revenue. When tuition is paid at registration, the student is given access to online courses. The student normally has six months to complete the online courses by watching online learning materials and passing the required online exams. The student has an option to extend the course learning period from six months to maximum of twelve months for an additional cost. After twelve months from the registration, the student will lose the access of registered course. No refund is available for tuitions. The tuition income is recognized over the period that the course is expected to be completed.
For the Company’s other high school and private college education programs, all tuition fee, ancillary service fee and application fees are collected in advance and are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue attributable to educational services is recognized over time, based on a straight-line basis over the school semester, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of these services throughout the service period. The refund is recorded as a reduction of deferred revenue and has no impact on the recognized revenue. The Company has not experienced significant refunds.
 
Revenue from rental
The Company rents several office buildings to several tenants and earns rental revenue. These lease agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under ASC 842, “Leases.” The Company commences recognizing rental revenue based on the date it makes the underlying asset available for use by the tenant. The Company accounts for rental revenue (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. The Company also includes the non-components of its leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance, real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Rental income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Rental revenues are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the respective lease agreement on a straight-line basis. Promotional discounts are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the promotional period. Late charges, administrative fees and other fees are recognized as income when earned. Management reviews the tenant’s payment history and financial condition periodically in determining, in its judgment, whether any accrued rental income and unbilled rent receivable balances applicable to each specific property is collectable.
Revenue from sale of products
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s nutritional products should be recognized at a point in time under ASC 606, specifically when control of the goods transfers to the customer. For wholesale sales, this occurs upon delivery; for retail sales, at the point of sale; and for online sales, when customers receive the goods. Each contract contains one performance obligation, which is the transfer of the product. Post-sale consultation and complaint-handling activities are routine customer service functions and do not constitute separate performance obligations. The 24-month shelf life is an inherent product characteristic and does not create any obligation or warranty under U.S. GAAP. The transaction price equals the fixed amount stated in the sales contract, and revenue should be recognized in full when the single performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue Recognition (continued)
Principal and agent consideration
In the Company’s rental business, the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the leased assets. The Company bears credit risk, idle capacity, and primary responsibility for providing the rental space. The Company sets prices and negotiates directly with tenants. Thus, the Company serves as a principal rather than an agent and recognizes revenue on a gross basis within the consolidated statement of (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income.
In the Company’s education programs business, the Company is primarily responsible for providing the education service, including but not limited to designs the curriculum, employs the faculty, provides the facilities, sets tuition fees, and bears the risk of student enrollment and academic outcomes. Thus, the Company serves as a principal rather than an agent and recognizes revenue on a gross basis within the consolidated statement of (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income.
In the Company’s sale of products business, the Company determined that in all of its major business activities, it serves as a principal rather than an agent within their revenue arrangements under the fact that the Company controls the goods before they are transferred to customers, bears inventory risk, and has discretion in establishing prices. As a principal, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis within the consolidated statement of (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Payment terms are established on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit quality. Contract assets are recognized in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing of when payment is received and when shipment or delivery occurs.
As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, other than accounts receivable, deposit from tenants and deferred revenue, the Company had no other material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on its consolidated balance sheet.
Disaggregation of Revenues
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by service or products, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are disclosed in Note 17 of this consolidation financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of income tax allocation to account for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and measured using enacted income tax rates and tax laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers both positive evidence and negative evidence on deferred tax assets, to determine whether, based upon the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets. Judgment is required in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence.
 Significant judgment is also required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain income tax positions and provisions for income taxes. Liabilities for uncertain income tax positions are recognized based on a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate whether an income tax position has met the recognition threshold by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The second step is to measure the income tax position that has met the recognition threshold as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provisions, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as interest expense, which is then netted and reported within investment income.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Income Taxes (Continued)
 
Sale Tax (“GST/HST”)
 
The Company is registered under Canada’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) account. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and services, net of GST/HST. The Company is operating mainly in the Province of Ontario which is subject to HST rate of 13% for its products and services supplied in Ontario. However, the Company’s tuition revenue is GST/HST exempted because Ontario educational services for private OSSD and College are tax-exempt.
 
Value added tax (“VAT”)
 
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods and service, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 13%, depending on the type of products sold or services provided. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in taxes payable. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in PRC remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.
 
Earnings per Share
 
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 12,376 unexercised Warrants Series A were included in the computation of weighted average number of common shares. As of March 31, 2025, there were no dilutive impact on earnings per share due to loss positions.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company operates primarily in Canada and in China. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar (“C$”) and the Chinese currency (“RMB”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been translated into the reporting currency U.S. Dollars (“$” or “US$”). Assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Equity is translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the results of operations.
 
The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
 
Comprehensive (loss) income consists of two components, net (loss) income and other comprehensive (loss) income. Other comprehensive (loss) income refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net (loss) income. Other comprehensive (loss) income consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
In accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are formulated based upon the functional currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not Adopted
 
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
 
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This pronouncement introduces new disclosure requirements aimed at enhancing transparency in financial reporting by requiring disaggregation of specific income statement expense captions. Under the new guidance, entities are required to disclose a breakdown of certain expense categories, such as: employee compensation; depreciation; amortization, and other material components. The disaggregated information can be presented either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, often using a tabular format. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope is permitted to early adopt the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
 
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. ASU 2025-03 clarifies the guidance to determine the accounting acquirer in a business combination that is affected primarily by exchanging equity interests, when the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity that meets the definition of a business. ASU 2025-03 requires entities to consider the same factors in ASC 805, Business Combinations, required for determining which entity is the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. ASU 2025-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-03 is required to be applied on a prospective basis to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2025-04 revises the definition of the term performance condition for share-based consideration payable to a customer to incorporate conditions that are based on the volume or monetary amount of a customer’s purchases or potential purchases. ASU 2025-04 also eliminates the policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for awards with service conditions. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that ASC 606 variable consideration guidance does not apply to share-based payments to customers; instead, vesting probability should be assessed solely under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. ASU 2025-04 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-04 may be applied on either a modified retrospective basis or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and introduces a practical expedient available for all entities and an accounting policy election available for all entities, other than public business entities, that elect the practical expedient. These changes apply to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Recognition. Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. This simplifies the estimation process for short-term financial assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-05 should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements. This ASU provides clarifications and targeted improvements to the accounting for internal-use software, including enhanced guidance on the identification of software development activities, capitalization of implementation costs, and accounting for subsequent upgrades and maintenance. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Clarifications and Share-Based Payments from Customers. This ASU refines the scope of derivative accounting to exclude certain contracts that contain terms or underlying variables specific to one party’s operations and clarifies the accounting for share-based payments received from customers as consideration in revenue arrangements. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
In October 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Simplifications for Measuring Credit Losses on Financial Assets. This ASU provides targeted simplifications to the accounting for credit losses under Topic 326, including streamlined guidance for measuring expected credit losses on trade receivables from non-public counterparties and simplified impairment assessment for certain low-risk financial assets. ASU 2025-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Leases (Topic 842): Enhanced Disclosures for Lessees. This ASU enhances the disclosure requirements for lessees by requiring additional qualitative and quantitative information about lease terms, variable lease payments, and the impact of leases on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material effect on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET (Continued)
 
In connection with the $5.5 million bank loan borrowed from the National Bank of Canada, the Company pledged its land and building under GV with net book value of approximately $4.3 million as the collateral to secure the loan. The property was sold for $13.6 million (C$18.0 million) to an unrelated purchaser for cash in June 2023. The property was acquired by the Company in 2019. The proceeds of sale were used to settle the carried mortgages in the aggregate amount of approximately $5.6 million (C$7.5 million) and pay back portion of shareholder advance from Ms. Fan Zhou of $4.5 million (C$6.1 million). The net proceeds of cash to the Company from the sale of the property was approximately $2.4 million (C$3.3 million).
 
In connection with the $11.2 million bank loan borrowed from the HSBC in Canada, the Company pledged its land and two office buildings under Animation Group and NeoCanaan Investment with net book value of approximately $16.3 million as the collateral to secure the loan. The property is also secured by a private mortgage of approximately $3.0 million (C$4.0 million) as the Company’s financing activity during the year ended March 31, 2023. The 100% equity interest of two subsidiaries which held the two office buildings and the corresponding first and private mortgage were sold to third parties in December 2024 at proceeds of $70 (see note 7).
 
In connection with the $44.3 million bank loan borrowed from the Bank of China (Canada) (the “BOC”), the Company pledged its land and two office buildings purchased by 13995291 Canada Inc. on September 23, 2022, with the net book value of approximately $61.9 million as the collateral to secure the loan. The property is also secured by a private mortgage of approximately $3.5 million (C$5.0 million) as the Company’s financing activity during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. On August 27, 2024, the buildings were taken over by a receivership appointed by the Ontario Superior Court, which was initiated by BOC due to default of the loan. The receivership was an event indicating that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. After assessing the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, impairment loss of $4,695,912 was recorded for the year ended March 31, 2025.
 
On December 15, 2023, the Company entered a purchase agreement with a related party Bethune Great Health Investment Management Inc. (“Bethune”) to purchase its 100% of equity interest.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL (Continued)
 
The Company recognized private vocational college license, brand name as intangible assets with an indefinite life and student list as intangible asset with definite life term of 1-4 years, totaling of $688,413 (C$989,811) based on the assessment of fair value at the purchase date. The goodwill of $895,467 (C$1,287,516) is mainly attributable to the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired that cannot be recognized separately as identifiable assets under U.S. GAAP.
 
During the period from the acquisition date February 28, 2022 to March 31, 2025, there was no event occurred or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of goodwill could be below its carrying amount. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, no impairment loss was recognized due to management’s impairment assessment.

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE
 
a)
Convertible note in September 2022
 
On September 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), to issue and sell to the Purchaser a senior secured convertible note of the Company in the principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Note”), and a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant to purchase additional common shares of the Company (the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant are collectively referred to as the “Warrants”).
 
The Note is subject to an original issue discount of 10%, and is convertible, in whole and in part, from time to time at the option of the Purchaser commencing March 19, 2023 into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $4.00, and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price ($0.22 per share) then in effect and (y) 85% of the lowest trading price of our common shares during the 15 consecutive trading day period preceding the delivery of the conversion notice. Pursuant to the original issue discount, the Purchaser paid $1,350,000 for the Note and related Warrants, less certain fees, and expenses payable by the Company. The Note may not be converted to the extent that the number of common shares owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates will exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of conversion.

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE (Continued)
 
The Note matures on September 19, 2023, or earlier under certain conditions set forth in the SPA. The Note accrues interest at the greater of (x) the sum of the prime rate plus four and a half percent (4.5%) per annum and (y) nine percent (9%) per annum, provided that, subject to certain conditions set forth in the SPA, the Company may elect to pay such interest in common shares. The Note ranks senior to all present and future Company indebtedness, subject to certain permitted senior indebtedness (including real estate mortgages). The Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding balance under the Note at a 20% premium to the greater of the balance of the Note and the number of common shares into which the Note can then be converted.
 
The Company’s obligations under the Note, the SPA, the Warrants and other transaction documents are secured by (i) the grant of a first priority lien by the Company and its subsidiaries upon substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its subsidiaries pursuant to a security agreement between the Company, its subsidiaries and the Purchaser (the “Security Agreement”) and (ii) by a pledge of 241,358 shares (3,620,378 shares before the share consolidation) held by our principal shareholder, director, and executive director, Fan Zhou (the “Pledge Agreement"). The Company’s obligations under the Note are also subject to a guaranty by the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Guaranty”).
 
Under the SPA, the Purchaser has customary preemptive rights to participate in any future financing by the Company and the Company agreed to certain restrictions on changes in its capital structure, including the Company’s agreement to certain restrictions on the issuance of additional equity securities so long as the Purchaser owns any Securities (as defined in the SPA), or to engage in any Dilutive Issuances (as defined in the Note) so long as the Note or any Warrants are outstanding.
 
The Series A Warrant grants the Purchaser the right to purchase 85,290 common shares (1,279,357 shares before the share consolidation) at an exercise price of $0.27 ($4.00 before the share consolidation) per share until September 19, 2032. The Series B Warrant grants the Purchaser the right, from March 19, 2023 until September 19, 2032, to purchase 129,630 (1,944,445 shares before the share consolidation) common shares at an exercise price equal to lower of (i) $3.60 and (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price (as defined in the Note) and (y) 75% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares during the 15 consecutive trading day period preceding the delivery of the exercise notice. The Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that the number of common shares owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates will exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
 
The Company determined that the conversion feature of it convertible loan and the Serie A and B warrants in connection with this convertible loan shall be classified as derivative liabilities. Company engaged an independent valuation firm to perform the valuation. The fair value of the conversion feature, Serie A and B warrants is calculated using the binomial tree model. These financial instruments are classified as level 3 instruments as the valuation was determined based on unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Significant estimates used in developing the fair value of these financial instruments include the probability to convert, variability of conversion price due to future stock price and exchange rate, and expected timing of conversion, etc.
 
Loan portion of the convertible note

Convertible note in October 2024
 
On October 2, 2024, the Company issued a senior secured convertible note (the “Note”) to DO SPV XVII LLC with an original principal amount of $1,000,000. The Note bears interest at the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4.5% per annum and (ii) 9% per annum, payable in arrears on each six-month interest payment date, and matures on October 2, 2025 (subject to certain extension provisions). Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to
18
% per annum. The Note is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries and contains customary covenants and events of default, including cross-default, trading suspension, registration default and bankruptcy provisions.
 
Beginning on the earlier of July 2, 2025 and the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (the “Conversion Amount”) into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of US$4.00 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. The Note also provides “alternate conversion” rights at a price equal to the lower of the fixed conversion price and 85% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common shares over a specified look-back period, subject to a floor price of US$0.464 (as periodically adjustable), and includes redemption features upon Events of Default and Changes of Control at a 125% redemption premium. Conversions are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
 
On January 31, 2025, the Company completed an additional closing under its Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 2, 2024 and issued a senior secured convertible note with an original principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “January 2025 Note”).

NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE (Continued)
 
Beginning on the earlier of July 31, 2025 or an event of default, the holder may convert the outstanding principal and interest at a fixed conversion price of US$2.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The note also provides for alternate conversions, including in default scenarios, at the lower of the fixed conversion price and 85% of the lowest trading price over a prescribed period, but not below the contractual floor price of US$0.346 (as adjusted every six months based on market trading prices). Conversions are subject to a 9.99% beneficial-ownership limitation. Upon certain events of default or change-of-control events, the holder may require redemption at 125% of the outstanding amount.
 
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company determined that the Note is a debt host with embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the host and do not qualify for equity classification. These features are accounted for as a single compound derivative liability under ASC 815, measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in earnings. At issuance, the proceeds were allocated between the host debt and the derivative liability based on their relative fair values, resulting in a debt discount on the host debt that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Note using the effective interest method.
 
The Company recorded $2,053,933 (net of debt issuance costs) as the balance of the debt component and $285,881 as the embedded derivatives as at March 31, 2025 by assessing the fair value of both components. The loan is recorded as current loan payable on the consolidated balance sheet.
