Revenue drivers

• Insurance brokerage — The primary revenue source is insurance brokerage services provided through TRX ZJ, which earns commissions from the sale of insurance policies.
• Hengbang Insurance — TRX ZJ owns 99.80% of Hebei Hengbang Insurance Co. LTD, which likely contributes additional insurance-related revenue.
• NDB Technology — A wholly-owned subsidiary of TRX ZJ, Need Bao (Beijing) network technology co. LTD, may provide technology-enabled services, but its specific revenue contribution is not detailed in the excerpt.

Recent performance

For fiscal year 2024, the company reported revenue of $5.4 million and net income of $617,032, or diluted EPS of $0.02. This compares to revenue of $7.3 million and a net loss of $4.2 million in 2023. Operating cash flow remained negative at -$1.5 million in 2024. As of April 30, 2025, the company had total assets of $6.0 million, total liabilities of $9.2 million, and shareholder equity of -$16.1 million.

Strategy

The company operates through a VIE structure, which it uses to control and receive economic benefits from TRX ZJ and its subsidiaries. No specific strategic initiatives are detailed in the provided excerpts. The company's focus appears to be on maintaining its insurance brokerage and related technology services in China.

Risks

• VIE structure risk — The VIE Agreements have not been tested in a court of law in China, and investors do not own equity in the VIE, only in the Cayman holding company.
• Going concern — As of April 30, 2025, shareholder equity was negative $16.1 million, and total liabilities exceeded total assets, raising substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
• Negative operating cash flow — The company has reported negative operating cash flow for at least the past five years, including -$1.5 million in 2024.
• PRC regulatory risk — As a China-based business, the company faces risks related to changes in PRC laws and regulations affecting insurance brokerage and variable interest entities.

Outlook

The provided excerpts do not include management's outlook or forward-looking guidance. The company's recent return to profitability in 2024 may indicate improvement, but negative operating cash flow and a weak balance sheet persist.
