MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following management’s discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to historical information,
the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These statements
may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” and similar terms or terminology,
or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bound of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially
from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2025 and filed with the
SEC on July 28, 2025. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information
becomes available or other events occur in the future.
Our financial statements are prepared in U.S.
Dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See “Exchange Rates” below for
information concerning the exchanges rates at which Renminbi (“RMB”) were translated into U.S. Dollars (“USD”
or “$”) at various pertinent dates and for pertinent periods.
Overview
We are a wholesale distributor
of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). We
currently operate in the offline wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical products primarily to local buyers, while also engaging in online
sales through both our self-operated and third-party platforms to customers nationwide.
Prior to February 28, 2025,
we were primarily a retail pharmacy operator. We operated our pharmacies (including the medical clinics) through Hangzhou Jiuzhou Grand
Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd. (“Jiuzhou Pharmacy”), Hangzhou Jiuzhou Clinic of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine (General
Partnership) (“Jiuzhou Clinic”), and Hangzhou Jiuzhou Medical & Public Health Service Co., Ltd. (“Jiuzhou Service”),
which we controlled contractually through our indirect subsidiary Zhejiang Jiuxin Investment Management Co. Ltd. (“Jiuxin Investment”).
On January 31, 2025, the Company,
Renovation Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“Renovation”), Mr. Lei Liu, Ms. Li Qi, and Oakview International Limited (“Oakview”)
entered into that certain Equity Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which Renovation transferred all equity in Jiuxin Investment to Oakview,
in exchange for irrevocable surrender by Mr. Liu, Ms. Qi, Oakview and their affiliates in total 2,548,353 our ordinary shares back to
us (the “Divestiture”). Concurrently on January 31, 2025, we entered into that certain Equity Exchange Agreement, with Mr.
Lingtao Kong and Ridgeline, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Mr. Kong all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of
Ridgeline, the direct parent company of Allright (Hangzhou) Internet Technology Co. Ltd (“Allright”), by issuing 2,225,000
our ordinary shares to Mr. Kong (the “Acquisition,” collectively with the Divestiture, the “Restructuring Transactions”).
The Restructuring Transactions were approved by our shareholders at our annual general meeting of shareholders held on February 25, 2025,
and were closed on February 28, 2025. Following the consummation of the Divestiture, Jiuxin Investment and all entities owned or controlled
by Jiuxin Investment, including each of Jiuzhou Pharmacy, Jiuzhou Clinic and Jiuzhou Service, are owned or controlled indirectly by Mr.
Liu and Ms. Qi. As the result of the strategic restructuring, the Company operates primarily in the wholesale business selling pharmaceutical
products to trading companies and other businesses.
Prior to the acquisition of
Allright in the first quarter of 2025, we operated a wholesale business primarily through Zhejiang Jiuxin Medicine Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxin
Medicine”) distributing third-party pharmaceutical products (similar to those historically carried by our pharmacies) primarily
to trading companies and other local drugstores in China. As discussed above, on February 28, 2025, we acquired Ridgeline and its
wholly owned subsidiary Allright. Allright is a rapidly growing online and offline wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare
products such as health foods, cosmetics and daily necessities in China. Allright actively sells on popular online distribution platforms
nationwide. Through third-party platforms and Allright’s own platform, we sell various medical products to retail pharmacies, clinics
and other vendors across the country. We believe that our presence on multiple platforms offers greater opportunities to distribute pharmaceutical
products nationwide.
On February 28, 2025, the
Divestiture was consummated. In accordance with ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 205”), Subtopic
20 - Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that Jiuxin Investment’s business line met the conditions for a discontinued
operation and is recorded as such in the audited consolidated financial statements. The Company reports financial results for discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations in order to distinguish the financial impact of the disposal transaction from ongoing
operations.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the six months ended September 30,
2025 and 2024
Revenue
On February 28, 2025, the
Divestiture Transaction was consummated. In accordance with ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC 205”),
Subtopic 20—Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that Jiuxin Investment’s business line met the conditions for
a discontinued operation and is recorded as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company reports financial results for discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations in order to distinguish the financial impact of the disposal transaction from ongoing
operations. In connection with the divestiture of Jiuxin Investment and its controlled entities, we have revised the presentation of our
historical consolidated financial statements to exclude the operations of the divested entities for all periods presented. This re-presentation
is intended to provide a consistent basis of comparison that reflects our continuing operations. As a result, certain financial information
for prior periods included in this report differs from the corresponding financial information for the six months ended September 30,
2024 presented in our report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on January 25, 2025.
The following table breaks
down the revenue for our two business segments for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Offline wholesale revenue
was $51,672,871 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $11,168,250, or 21.6%, as compared to that
of $62,841,121 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. We previously provided credit terms to certain offline customers. However,
we experienced delayed repayments from several customers. Despite eventual recovery of the outstanding amounts, we decided to discontinue
some of our credit sales effective March 2025 as a risk mitigation measure. As a result, the wholesale revenue declined.
Online platform revenue was
$11,132,144 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $11,132,144, or 100.0%, as compared to that
of nil for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The increased figure reflects Allright’s online platform revenue for the
six months ended September 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, we acquired Ridgeline and its subsidiary, Allright, which is a rapidly
growing online and offline wholesale distributor of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products such as health foods, cosmetics and daily
necessities in China. Allright actively trades on popular online distribution platforms nationwide. Through these online platforms, we
sell various medical products to retail pharmacies, clinics and other vendors across the country. Allright also has its own online distribution
platform.
Gross Profit
The average gross margins
for each of our two business segments for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| | |
For the six months ended
September 30, | |
| | |
2025 | | |
2024 | |
| Average gross margin for offline wholesale | |
| 3.3 | % | |
| 3.8 | % |
| Average gross margin for online platform | |
| 7.0 | % | |
| N/A | % |
Gross profit was $2,464,195
for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase by $49,648, or 2.1%, as compared to that of $2,414,547 for
the six months ended September 30, 2024. For six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, gross margins were approximately
3.9% and 3.8%, respectively.
Gross margin of offline wholesale
sales slightly decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024,
primarily due to the sales of low-margin products during this period. Although as a retailer and distributor we have attempted to market
the products to major local hospitals and other pharmacies, we have not been able to make significant progress. As a result, we do not
have big bargain power on the prices. In order to keep competitive in the market, we chose to lower our prices. Until we are able to obtain
status as a provincial or national exclusive sale agent for certain popular drugs or have sales access to large local hospitals, we may
have to maintain low profit margins in order to drive sales on our wholesale business.
Gross margin of online platform
sales was approximately 7.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The online sales business primarily serves small chain
pharmacies and medium-to-small clinics. Due to their low procurement volumes, these clients are unable to source the products they need
directly from manufacturers or large suppliers. As a result, we are able to command a higher gross margin on products for which we possess
a pricing advantage.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses
for the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $530,759 or 87.2%, as compared to the six months ended September 30,
2024. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was largely driven by an increase in drug distribution service fees, which contributed
approximately $0.41 million to the overall rise. Allbright's online wholesale business has added a significant number of small and medium-sized
pharmacy and clinic customers, resulting in a substantial increase in related distribution costs. Overall, such expenses as a percentage
of our revenue were 1.8% and 1.0% respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative
expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $15,598 or 1.1%, as compared to the six months ended September 30,
2024, primarily due to the increase in consulting fee of approximately $0.12 million and the increase in staff salary of approximately
$0.12 million following the acquisition of Ridgeline and its subsidiary, which led to personnel expansion, offset by the decrease in warehousing
management fee. In the six months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded approximately $0.12 million in warehousing management
fee as compared to approximately of $0.34 million in warehousing management fee in the six months ended September 30, 2024.
Loss (income) from Operations
As a result of the above,
we had loss from operations of $74,293 for the six months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to income from operations of $422,416
a year ago. Our operating margin for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was (0.1)% and 0.7%, respectively.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense for
the six months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $7,942 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2024 due to a
decrease in overall profit.
Net loss (income) from continuing operations
As a result of the foregoing,
net loss from continuing operations is $60,167 for the six months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a net income of $486,751
for the six months ended September 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Ridgetech, Inc. is a holding
company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their
accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries
are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until
the total amount set aside reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. Our PRC subsidiaries may also allocate a portion of their
after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to employee welfare and bonus funds at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable
as cash dividends.
The Company’s accounts
have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized
and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern depends upon aligning its sources of funding (debt and equity) with its expenditure requirements
and repayment of the short-term debts as and when they become due.
The Company maintains credit
facilities with Hangzhou United Bank (“HUB”), under which the Company issues bank acceptance notes to suppliers. These notes
are guaranteed by HUB and require the Company to deposit restricted cash with the bank prior to the payment date. These bank acceptance
notes are used to settle payables to suppliers and are a key component of the Company’s short-term financing.
As of September 30, 2025,
the Company had a credit line of approximately $5.62 million from HUB. By putting up a three-year deposit of $3.85 million and the restricted
cash of $0.26 million deposited in the bank, the total credit line was $9.73 million. Of this amount, $4.66 million was utilized through
outstanding bank acceptance notes, leaving approximately $5.07 million available for further borrowing. As the Chinese economy growth
slows down, the national interest rates continue to decrease. Local banks such as HUB are encouraged to provide low interest rate loans
to local enterprises.
To meet its working capital
needs, the Company has also actively pursued, and intends to continue pursuing capital raising efforts as well as strategic and operational
initiatives to improve its wholesale business performance.
Based on the above factors,
the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to support its operations for at least the next 12 months.
