First Half of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 15.2%, from $7.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase in revenue was due to increased revenue from the stores in China (the "China Stores"), which was partially offset by decreased revenue from the stores in the United States (the "United States Stores").

China Stores

Revenue from the China Stores was $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by $1.3 million or 19.7%, from $6.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to the increased revenue from bakery products as well as from other products.

• Revenue from bakery products was $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 20.8%, from $5.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributed to the increased revenue generated by the newly opened bakery stores, as nineteen bakery stores have been opened since the second half of fiscal year 2024.
  
  
• Revenue from other products was $0.63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 8.5%, from $0.58 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to increased revenue from seasonal products, which was partially offset by decreased revenue from beverage products. Revenue from seasonal products was $0.51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 39.0% from $0.36 million for the same period of last year. The increase was due to increased revenue from group purchases from corporate customers of the China Stores, as we offered more sales promotions and price discounts to attract more customers and received more group purchases orders. Revenue from beverage products was $0.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease by 42.9% from $0.22 million for the same period of last year. The opening of new stores by several well-known coffee chain brands in Xinjiang, offering products at very low prices to gain market share, provided customers with more choices and contributed to a decline in beverage product revenue at our China Stores. As of June 30 2025, two coffee bakery stores were closed, one in fiscal year 2024 and another in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

United States Stores

Revenue from the U.S. Stores was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which decreased by 13.2% from $1.0 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to decreased revenue from bakery products and eat-in services, which was partially offset by the slightly increased revenue from beverage products.

• Revenue from bakery products was $0.22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which decreased by 10.1% from $0.24 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was due to the decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd Street LLC ("Chanson 23rd Street") and Chanson 1293 3rd Ave LLC ("Chanson 3rd Ave"). Facing increased competition from competitors operating in the same area, Chanson 23rd Street suspended its business operation of bakery products and eat-in services in April 2025 and Chanson 3rd Ave suspended all business operation in January 2025. However, the decrease in revenue from bakery products was partially offset by the increased revenue from Chanson Broadway as we implemented a series of performance-enhancing measures, including extending business hours, optimizing the products mix and offering more sales promotions and price discounts to attract more customers.
  
  
• Revenue from beverage products remained relatively stable at $0.64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, with a slight increase by 1.9% from $0.63 million for the same period of last year. The increase was due to the increased revenue of beverage products generated by Chanson Broadway, resulting from implementation of the performance-enhancing measures as mentioned above. The increase was partially offset by the decreased revenue from Chanson 23rd Street, primarily attributable to increased competition from competitors operating in the same area, as well as the decreased revenue from Chanson 3rd Ave resulting from the suspension of business operation as mentioned above.
  
  
• Revenue from eat-in services was $0.05 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which decreased by 72.9% from $0.17 million for the same period of last year. As mentioned above, Chanson 23rd Street suspended its business operation of bakery products and eat-in services in April 2025 and Chanson 3rd Ave suspended all business operation in January 2025, hence, revenue from eat-in services decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 23.6% from $3.1 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin was 44.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 3.0 percentage points from 41.5% for the same period of last year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.7 million for the same period of last year.

• Selling expenses were $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 26.3%, from $2.2 million for the same period of last year, mainly due to an increase in selling expenses of $0.6 million from the China Stores. The increase in the China Stores was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in salaries and welfare benefit expenses of $0.21 million, as the China Stores hired additional sales staff for the new stores; (ii) an increase in online platform service fees of $0.14 million, resulting from the increased online sales on the third-party platform during the six months ended June 30, 2025; and (iii) an increase in rental expenses, renovation expenses and electricity expenses of $0.08 million, as twenty-three stores have been opened since the second half of fiscal year 2024.    
  
  
• General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which increased by 53.7 % from $1.5 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to an    increase in allowance for credit losses of $0.5 million. On April 3, 2023, we entered a loan agreement with Liberty Asset Management Capital Limited (the "Borrower") to lend the Borrower $2.0 million for two years, with a maturity date of April 3, 2025. Due to the Borrower's financial distress, we collected $1.5 million upon maturity of the loan, and the remaining balance of 0.5 million was charged off and recognized as the bad debt written-off. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also attributable to the increased audit, legal and professional service fees due to issuance of additional equity security during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $0.02 million for the same period of last year.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share were $2.87 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the same period of last year.
