HCIL 10-Q Quarter ended June 30, 2025

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions as discussed elsewhere to the unaudited consolidated financial statements that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in circumstances, facts, and experience may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

The Group’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is RMB. The unaudited consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity included in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in bank, which are highly liquid and have original maturities of three months or less and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. The Group maintains cash with various financial institutions primarily in mainland China. Deposit insurance system in China only insured each depositor at one bank for a maximum of approximately US$ 69,766 . The amount in excess of the insurance as of June 30, 2025 was approximately US$ 150,733 . The Group has not experienced any losses in bank accounts.

The Company received grants from the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Housing Security and Real Estate Administration amounting to US$ 220,500 . Use of the grants are prohibited until the development of Hongchang Food Industrial Park is completed. The grants are deposited in a bank account with the China Construction Bank Corporation (“China Construction Bank”) and are disclosed as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for expected credit losses. To estimate expected credit losses, the Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables. The Group considers the past collection experience, current economic conditions, future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors), and changes in the Group’s customer collection trends. The allowance for credit losses and corresponding receivables were written off when they are determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory are determined using the weighted average cost method. The Group records inventory reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. Inventory reserves are based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience, and application of the specific identification method.

From the Perspective as a lessee

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Group assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.

The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Group recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

From the Perspective as a lessor

The Group recognizes rental revenue under ASC 842, and the lease contracts are operating leases. The Group has elected to exclude from revenue and expenses sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from its tenant. The Group leases the buildings of Hongchang Food Industrial Park to its customers and generates revenue from monthly rent in the form of rental fees. The price of contract varies primarily based on the size and nature of buildings leased by the customers. The Group’s lease contracts include a fix periodic payment amount. The Group recognizes rental revenue when the Group provides the customers access to the buildings. Rental revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis, subject to a collectability assessment, with the difference between the contractual rental receipts and the straight-line amounts included in accounts receivable. The lease has renewal options, and a penalty is imposed if the customers early terminate the leases. Renewal of contract is on a negotiation basis before termination.

Prior to moving into the buildings, the customer is required to provide the Group with a rental retainer in amount specified in the terms of the lease agreements. The retainer typically cannot be applied against the customer’s unpaid balance of rental or other fees.

Short-term leases

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

Sales and leaseback contracts

The Group enters sale and leaseback transactions. The Group acts as the seller-lessee, transfers its assets to a third-party entity (the buyer-lessor), and then leases the transferred assets back from the buyer-lessor at a contract designated rental price. The Group evaluates whether a sale of the underlying assets in the sale and leaseback contract has occurred in accordance with ASC 606. When a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale accounting, the transaction is accounted for as a financing transaction by the seller-lessee and a lending transaction by the buyer-lessor. The seller-lessee shall not derecognize the transferred asset and shall account for any amounts received as a financial liability.

Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use.

Interest incurred during and directly related to construction-in-progress is capitalized to the related property under construction during the active construction period, which generally commences when borrowings are used to acquire assets of construction-in-progress and ends when the properties are substantially complete or the property becomes inactive. Interest is capitalized based on the interest rate applicable to specific borrowings or the weighted average of the rates applicable to other borrowings during the period. All other interest is expensed as incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the total interest capitalized in the construction-in-progress was US$ 102,448 and US$ 78,166 , respectively.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of amortized intangible assets are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the original estimated useful lives have changed.

The land use rights represent the operating lease prepayments for the rights to use the land in the PRC. Amortization of the prepayments is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use rights certificates.

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment by comparing carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. Impairment charge recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was US$ nil .

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related party, advance to suppliers-related party, other receivables, accounts payables, accounts payables - construction in progress and accrued expenses and other liabilities. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the carrying values of these financial assets and liabilities approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature.

The Group applied ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) for all periods presented.

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price – The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – Any entity typically allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation – An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for promises to transfer goods to a customer) or over time (typically for promises to transfer service to a customer).

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The Group has elected a practical expedient that it does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Group expects that, upon the inception of revenue contracts, the period between when the Group transfers its promised services or deliverables to its clients and when the clients pay for those services or deliverables will be one year or less.

As a practical expedient, the Group elected to expense the incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Group otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

The Group is a food provider in Fujian Province which principally engages in meat and food product sales, support infrastructure sales and installation, and property rental.

The Group’s principal revenue stream includes:

The Group enters into contracts with customers for the supply of meat and food products, whereby customers agree to pay product fees over the contract term in line with the terms set out in the sales agreements. Each contract encompasses a single promise: delivering specific goods to customers, which the Group therefore identifies as a single performance obligation, with all service fees (including but not limited to shipping and handling fees and packaging fees) allocated thereto. Control is considered transferred when the customer gains the ability to direct the use of the goods and obtain substantially all remaining economic benefits therefrom. Accordingly, the Group recognizes revenue at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.

For the majority of meat and food product sales contracts, the Group assumes inventory risk, has the autonomy to set prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide specific goods to customers. As the Group acts as the principal in these transactions, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. In contrast, for a small number of contracts where the Group does not assume inventory risk, does not have pricing authority, and is not primarily responsible, revenue is recognized on a net basis.

The Group bundles the installation together with the sale of mounts for photovoltaic panels. The installation services do not significantly customize or modify the mounts.

Contracts for bundled sales of equipment and installation services are comprised of two performance obligations because the equipment and installation services are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of the contract. Accordingly, the Group allocates the transaction price based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of the equipment and installation services.

The Group recognizes revenue from installation services over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided to them. The Group uses an input method in measuring progress of the installation services because there is a direct relationship between the Groups effort (i.e., based on the labor hours incurred) and the transfer of service to the customer. The Group recognizes revenue on the basis of the labor hours expended relative to the total expected labor hours to complete the service.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Group also selected to apply the practical expedients allowed under ASC Topic 606 to omit the disclosure of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, all contracts of the Group were with an original expected duration within one year .

Costs of revenue consist primarily of purchase price of products, shipping and handling expenses from suppliers to the Group, and related costs, which are directly attributable to products. Write-down of inventories is also recorded in cost of sales, if any. Shipping and handling costs incurred to transport goods to customers are expensed in the periods incurred and are included in cost of revenue. The Group accounts for shipping and handling expenses as fulfillment costs because shipping and handling activities occur before the customers obtains control of the goods. Shipping and handling expenses amounted to US$ nil and US$ 7,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of travelling expenses, marketing conference expenses, advertising expenses, and salaries and other compensation-related expenses to sales and marketing personnel. The Group expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $ nil for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for employees involved in general corporate functions, amortization of land use right, legal and other professional services fees, rental, and other general corporate related expenses.

Government subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the subsidy will be received, and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match the subsidy on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the subsidy relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred subsidies and is released to the statement of operations over the expected useful life in a consistent manner with the depreciation method for the relevant asset. Total government subsidies recorded in the deferred subsidies were $ 1,951,745 and $ 1,935,462 as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of VAT. The applicable VAT rate was 13 % or 9 % (depending on the type of goods involved) for products sold in the PRC. 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 as VAT payable if output VAT is larger than input VAT and is recorded as VAT recoverable if input VAT is larger than output VAT. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in China have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities.

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Group accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax, (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Group records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions when, despite the Group’s belief that the Group’s tax return positions are supportable, the Group believes that it is more likely than not that those positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. The Group did not recognize uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.

The Group calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive. On September 4, 2023, the Group completed the Hongchang Acquisition, whereby Hongchang BVI’s stockholders received 415,582,375 shares of the Company in exchange for all of the share capital of Hongchang BVI, which is reflected retroactively to December 31, 2021, and will be utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods. The per share amounts have been updated to show the effect of the exchange on earnings per share as if the exchange occurred at the beginning of both years for the annual financial statements of the Group. The impact of the stock exchange is also shown on the Group’s Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Before the reorganization, Hongchang Food depended on loans from stockholders for the construction of the Hongchang Food Industrial Park and its daily operations. These were recorded as loans from related parties. In May 2023, Hongchang Food reached an agreement with a stockholder to convert an outstanding loan balance of US$ 41,241,108 into a capital contribution. The company then recalculated the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, based on the timing of the cash inflows from the stockholder loans.

The Group applies ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220”), with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other event and circumstances except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, the Group’s comprehensive income (loss) included net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).

ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. As a whole and hence, we have only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

Political, social, and economic risks

The Group has substantial operations in China through its PRC subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Group’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Group’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the PRC. Although the Group has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

Concentration risks

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in bank and accounts receivable. The Group places its cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings and quality.

The Group conducts credit evaluations of customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers. The Group establishes an allowance for expected credit losses primarily based upon the factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.

Concentration of customers and suppliers

As of June 30, 2025, one major client accounted for 93 % of the Group’s total accounts receivable. No credit loss expense has been incurred historically for this client.

As of March 31, 2025, one major client accounted for 96 % of the Group’s total accounts receivable. No credit loss expense has been incurred historically for this client.

For three months ended June 30, 2025, two major clients accounted for 58 % and 35 % of the Group’s total revenue, respectively.

For three months ended June 30, 2024, one major client accounted for 35 % of the Group’s total revenue.

As of June 30, 2025, one vendor accounted for 98 % of the Group’s total account payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, one vendor accounted for 93 % of the Group’s total purchases.

As of March 31, 2025, one vendor accounted for 98 % of the Group’s total account payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, two vendors accounted for 35 % and 33 % of the Group’s total purchases, respectively.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense and ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. The ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provides more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will, inter alia, disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization included in each relevant expense caption (such as cost of sales, general and administrative, and research and development). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Group does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
