I am very pleased with our top-line revenue results for fiscal 2025, which saw a 51% increase for the full year. This increase was largely attributable to the growing acceptance of the Company's 2B2C business model and increasing demand for Zhibao's digital brokerage platform and digital insurance solutions. We also expect continued positive growth in our B Channels, and C end customer markets. We have successfully implemented our strategy of expanding our 2B2C digital insurance solutions and are executing on the synergies of our diversified partnerships which are attributable to the revenue growth during the fiscal year. Further, we continue to drive organic growth through investments into our sales force and technology platform and believe that the sales growth momentum that we experienced during the past period will continue.

As we continue into fiscal year 2026, we plan on continuing our execution on our strategy of driving the organic growth of our company through continued investments in our sales force and technology platform.

The net loss that we experienced in the fiscal year of 2025 was largely attributable to an increased investment into selling expenses. As part of our next ten year plan, as unveiled during our ten year anniversary celebration, the Company has many growth opportunities ahead, and we believe this investment will help us maintain our rapid growth over the next few years.

Our management team remains committed to maximizing shareholder value and gaining higher returns from our investments through strategic acquisitions, high growth initiatives, long term partnerships and diversifying the Company's revenue base to achieve dependable cash flow streams and attractive company valuations."

Revenues

• Revenues increased by approximately RMB 93.3 million (US$13.0 million), or 51% to approximately RMB 276.9 million (US$38.7 million) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 from approximately RMB 183.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of approximately RMB 99.7 million from the digital insurance brokerage, partially offset against a decrease of approximately RMB 6.7 million from the MGU service fees.

• Revenues from Digital Insurance Brokerage services revenue increased by approximately RMB 99.7 million, or 57%, to approximately RMB 273.8 million (US$38.2 million) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 from approximately RMB 174.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
