Exhibit 99.2
Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for six months ended December 31, 2023 is set forth below:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this discussion other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We conduct our business in mainland China through the PRC operating entities. With hip-hop culture at their core and the younger generation as their primary target audience, the PRC operating entities host entertainment events, operate hip-hop related online programs, and provide event planning and execution services and brand promotion services to corporate clients. They seek to create value for stakeholders in all parts of the hip-hop ecosystem, from fans to artists, corporate clients, and sponsors.
The PRC operating entities have in recent years focused on developing and hosting their own hip-hop events. The PRC operating entities own an extensive portfolio of intellectual property rights related to hip-hop events, including a stage play, three dance competitions or events, two cultural and musical festivals, and two promotional parties that feature live hip-hop performances in karaoke bars or amusement parks to promote hip-hop culture, and they cooperate with music companies and artists to host various concerts in mainland China; starting from March 2020, the PRC operating entities have been developing and operating hip-hop related online programs (collectively, “Event Hosting”). The PRC operating entities’ concerts and hip-hop events generated an aggregate attendance of 285,000 and 209,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and their online hip-hop programs generated over 158 million and 592 million views during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The PRC operating entities generate revenue from their Event Hosting business by providing sponsorship packages to advertisers in exchange for sponsorship fees and by selling tickets for those concerts.
The PRC operating entities help corporate clients with the design, logistics, and layout of events, coordinate and supervise the actual event set-up and implementation, and generate revenue through service fees (“Event Planning and Execution”). Their services feature significant hip-hop elements and cover each aspect of corporate and marketing events, including communication, planning, design, production, reception, execution, and analysis. During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the PRC operating entities served 9 and 23 clients in 13 and 70 events with respect to event planning and execution, respectively. Revenue for event hosting and event planning and execution decreased by 8% and 88% from US$2.18 million and US$3.14 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$2.01 million and US$0.38 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the trend of online promotions and the economic downturn in general in China.
The PRC operating entities provide brand promotion services, such as trademark and logo design, visual identity system design, brand positioning, brand personality design, and digital solutions, to corporate clients for service fees (“Brand Promotion”). Revenue for brand promotion increased by 280% from US$5.56 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$21.14 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to their cooperation with key opinion leaders (“KOLs”) and the trend of increasing in advertisers’ online promotion budgets.
We believe that the main reason corporate clients hire the PRC operating entities to plan and execute events and provide brand promotion services geared towards the younger generation is for their deep understanding of the taste and preferences of this generation (age between 14 to 28).
The PRC operating entities also sell digital collections to individual collectors, provide music recording services to a corporate client and SaaS software services to hip-hop dance training institutions for service fees, and distribute advertisements for corporate customers for service fees (“Other Services”). Other revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was US$0.48 million, which represents an increase of US$0.12 million, or 33%, as compared to that in the six months ended December 31, 2022.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into a series of subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with three purchasers, each an unrelated third party to the Company (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Purchasers agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shelf Takedown Shares”), at a purchase price of $2.86 per share, and for an aggregate purchase price of $4,290,000 (the “Shelf Takedown”). The Shelf Takedown Shares were offered under the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-266130), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2022 and declared effective on November 18, 2022 (the “F-3 Registration Statement”). A prospectus supplement to the F-3 Registration Statement in connection with this Shelf Takedown was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2024. The Subscription Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereby, and the issuance of the Shelf Takedown Shares were approved by the Company’s board of directors. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements took place on March 21, 2024.
On March 26, 2024, shareholders of the Company held an extraordinary general meeting and approved (1) a resolution pursuant to which each holder of Class B ordinary shares shall be entitled to exercise 100 votes for each Class B ordinary share they hold (the “Class B Variation”), and (2) the increase of the authorized share capital of the Company from US$60,000 divided into 4,400,000 Class A ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each, 600,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each and 1,000,000 Class C ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each, to US$760,000 divided into 64,400,000 Class A ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each, 10,600,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each and 1,000,000 Class C ordinary shares of par value US$0.01 each (the “Share Capital Increase”).

COVID-19 IMPACT
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the implementation of significant governmental measures, including lockdowns, closures, quarantines, and travel bans, intended to control the spread of the virus. The Chinese government ordered quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities. Companies are also taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions and temporarily closing businesses.
Since the PRC operating entities primarily engage in the businesses of hosting events and providing services related to events, their results of operations and financial condition for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were adversely affected by the spread of COVID-19 as the Chinese government took a number of actions, including encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling public activities. In particular, during certain periods or in certain cities, all of the offline events the PRC operating entities expected to host, plan, or execute were suspended because government authorities imposed restrictions on large scale in-person gatherings, resulting in a significant decrease in our revenue generated from event hosting and event planning and execution. The PRC operating entities also suffered a decrease in the marketing business because of the sluggish demand for advertising and marketing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2022. The PRC operating entities also experienced difficulties in collecting accounts receivable during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Although the pandemic control measures had been lifted, our clients were still adversely affected by the effects of the pandemic during the six months ended December 31, 2023. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely affect our business operations and condition and operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2023, including delays in execution of offline events, material negative impact on total revenue, slower collection of accounts receivable, and additional allowance for doubtful accounts. However, we expect such effects to gradually phase-out in the following years.
KEY FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In assessing our financial performance, we consider a variety of financial performance measures, including principal growth in net revenue and gross profit, our ability to control costs and operating expenses to improve our operating efficiency and net income. Our review of these indicators facilitates timely evaluation of the performance of our business and effective communication of results and key decisions, allowing our business to respond promptly to competitive market conditions and different demands and preferences from our customers. The key measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below.

Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was US$24.0 million, representing an increase of US$12.75 million, or 113%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Revenue for event hosting and event planning and execution decreased by 8% and 88% from US$2.18 million and US$3.14 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$2.01 million and US$0.38 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the trend of online promotions and the economic downturn in general in China. As a result of the trends, more and more of our clients cut down their offline events budgets, which resulted in the decrease of the demand on event planning and execution.
Revenue for brand promotion increased by 280% from US$5.56 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$21.14 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to following reasons: (i) we started to cooperate with key opinion leaders (“KOLs”) to conduct online promotion business in early 2023, with a combined audience of approximately 71 million followers or viewers through 176 KOLs as of December 31, 2023; and (ii) we also benefited from the trend of increasing in advertisers’ online promotion budgets.
Other revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was US$0.48 million, which represents an increase of US$0.12 million, or 33%, as compared to that in the six months ended December 31, 2022. Other revenue includes software development services and digital collection sales. The increase mainly represents additional software development services revenue incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2023, as this business became more mature after a growing stage during the first few years.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by 63% to US$22.23 million from US$13.63 million of the previous period.
Cost of Event Hosting Revenue
Cost of event hosting revenue decreased by 71% from US$6.12 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$1.77 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was due to the decrease in the revenue for event hosting, and higher investment in the promotion and implementation in the segment during the six months ended December 31, 2022 to maintain a high level of scale and quality of its intellectual property.
Cost of Event Planning and Execution Revenue
Cost of event planning and execution revenue decreased by 92% from US$2.64 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$0.21 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was generally in line with the decrease in the revenue for event planning and execution.
Cost of Brand Promotion Revenue
Cost of brand promotion revenue increased by 318% from US$4.74 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$19.83 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was in line with the growth in the revenue for brand promotion.
Cost of other services
Cost of other services revenue increased by 279% from US$0.11 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 to US$0.43 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was resulted from the growth in the revenue for other services.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased by US$4.18 million from negative US$2.34 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022 to positive US$1.78 million in the six months ended 2023. Gross margin was positive 12% in the six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to negative 21% in the six months ended December 31, 2022. The negative margin during the six months ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from the negative margin in the segment of event hosting. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, brand promotion contributed 74% of the total gross profit, which mainly resulted from the 88% revenue contribution of this segment. However, the gross margin of this segment decreased to 6% during the six months ended December 31, 2023, from 15% for the previous period. The decrease was mainly due to the Company’s intention to lower the service price to expand this segment to adapt to the industry trend of increased online promotion.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 decreased by 26% to US$2.25 million from US$2.25 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 20.0% from 15.1% in the same period of last fiscal year.

● | Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 were US$0.24 million, representing a decrease of 47% year-over-year from US$0.45 million in the same period of last fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to the Company having laid-off some employees of the department responsible for event planning and execution to adapt to the reduced demand in this segment (see “Results of Operations—Revenues”) during the six months ended December 31, 2023. The lay-offs directly resulted in a decrease in selling and marketing expenses of $0.25 million. |
● | General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2023 were US$3.93 million, representing an increase of 119% year-over-year from US$1.80 million in the previous period. The increase was mainly due to following reasons: (i) expenses for bad debt allowance increased by $1.1 million, resulting from our inability to collect more receivables as a result of the reduction in demand in event planning and execution industry; and (ii) additional research and development expenses incurred for online promotion and web3.0 related products. |

Operating Loss for the Period
Operating loss was US$2.39 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to US$4.65 million in the same period of 2022.
Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expenses amounted to US$144,708 and US$176,028 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease resulted from the decreased taxable income.
Net Loss for the Period
Net loss attributable to the Company’s equity holders for the six months ended December 31, 2023 was US$2.37 million, compared to a net loss of US$4.71 million in the same period of 2022.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2023, the combined balance of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, term deposits, and short-term investments amounted to US$3.11 million, compared to US$3.63 million as of June 30, 2023.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flows generated from our operations. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1.69 million. Of that amount, US$1.48 million was held in financial institutions inside Mainland China and US$0.21 million was held in financial institutions outside of Mainland China. The Company is actively applying for new bank credit and expects to obtain a new credit line of not less than RMB8 million (approximately $1.1 million) in 2024. We believe our current liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs (net cash used in operating activities), commitments, and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions and other future developments, or changes in general economic conditions.

On January 3, 2020, Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd (“Pop Group” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
On January 20, 2020, Pop Culture (HK) Holding Limited (“Pop HK”) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pop Group formed in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong. Pop HK is a holding company and holds all the equity interests of Heliheng Culture Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), which was established in the PRC on March 13, 2020.

Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Company believes that the VIE Agreements are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce the VIE Agreements. If the legal structure and the VIE Agreements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:
● | revoke the business and operating licenses of the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE; |
● | discontinue or restrict the operations of any related-party transactions between the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE; |
● | limit the Company’s business expansion in China by way of entering into contractual arrangements; |
● | impose fines or other requirements with which the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE may not be able to comply; |
● | require the Company or the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; or |
● | restrict or prohibit the Company’s use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance. |

The Company believes that there are no assets in Pop Culture that can be used only to settle specific obligations of Pop Culture except for the registered capital of Pop Culture and non-distributable statutory reserves. As Pop Culture is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of Pop Culture do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of Pop Culture. There are no terms in any arrangements, explicitly or implicitly, requiring the Company or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to Pop Culture. However, if Pop Culture were ever to need financial support, the Company may, at its discretion and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to Pop Culture through loans.

Acquired intangible assets are recognized based
on their cost to the Company, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. These assets are amortized over
their useful lives if the assets are deemed to have a finite life and they are reviewed for impairment by testing for recoverability whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The fair value of an intangible asset is
the amount that would be determined if the entity used the assumptions that market participants would use if they were pricing the intangible
asset. The useful life of the Company’s intangible assets is

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES | 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Xiamen Pop Culture Co., Ltd (“Pop Culture”) was incorporated in Xiamen, China on March 29, 2007 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). Pop Culture hosts entertainment events and provides event planning and execution services and brand promotion services to corporate clients.
Pop Culture has seven wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC as follows:
Pop Culture also indirectly held a 56 % equity interest in Shenzhen Jam Box Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Jam Box”), a joint venture incorporated on November 18, 2021 in Shenzhen, China. In January 2024, Pop Culture sold out a 36% equity interest in Shenzhen Jam Box and became a 20% equity shareholder of Shenzhen Jam Box. Wanquan Yi, the legal representative and executive director of Shenzhen Pop Digital Industry Development Co., Ltd., Shenzhen HipHopJust Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhaowei Wu, two unrelated third parties, collectively hold 80% of the equity interests in Shenzhen Jam Box.
Pop Culture indirectly holds a 51% controlling interest in Zhongpu Shuyuan (Xiamen) Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhongpu Shuyuan”), a joint venture incorporated on March 30, 2022 in Xiamen, China, while three unrelated parties own the remaining 49% interests.
Reorganization
On January 3, 2020, Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd (“Pop Group” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
On January 20, 2020, Pop Culture (HK) Holding Limited (“Pop HK”) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pop Group formed in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong. Pop HK is a holding company and holds all the equity interests of Heliheng Culture Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), which was established in the PRC on March 13, 2020.
On March 30, 2020, WFOE entered into a series of agreements with Pop Culture and the shareholders of Pop Culture who collectively held 93.55% of the shares in Pop Culture, including an Exclusive Services Agreement, an Exclusive Option Agreement, a Share Pledge Agreement, Powers of Attorney, and Spousal Consents (collectively the “VIE Agreements”). All the above contractual arrangements obligate WFOE to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from business activities of Pop Culture and entitle WFOE to receive a majority of its residual returns. In essence, WFOE has gained effective control over Pop Culture. Therefore, the Company believes that Pop Culture should be considered as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation.”
Between February and May 2020, the Company and its shareholders undertook a series of corporation actions, including share issuances in February 2020, re-designation of ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), into Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares in April 2020, and share issuances and transfers in May 2020. See “Note 13—Ordinary Shares.”
The above-mentioned transactions, including the incorporation of Pop Group, Pop HK, and WFOE, the entry into the VIE Agreements, the share issuances, share re-designation, and share transfers, were considered a reorganization of the Company (the “Reorganization”). After the Reorganization, Pop Group ultimately owns 100% equity interests of Pop HK and WFOE, which further has effective control over the operating entities, Pop Culture, and its subsidiaries through the VIE Agreements.
In accordance with ASC 805-50-25, the Reorganization has been accounted for as a recapitalization among entities under common control since the same controlling shareholder controls all these entities before and after the Reorganization. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries and VIE have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, ASC 805-50-45-5 indicates that the financial statements and financial information presented for prior years shall also be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.
Acquisition of non-controlling interest in VIE
On February 9, 2021, the Company issued 1,065,089 Class A Ordinary Shares to non-controlling shareholders of Pop Culture to acquire their 6.45% non-controlling interests in Pop Culture. See “Note 13—Ordinary Shares.” On February 19, 2021, the VIE Agreements were amended and restated, through which WFOE gained 100% control over Pop Culture. WFOE is obliged to absorb all risk of loss from business activities of Pop Culture and is entitled to receive all its residual returns. Upon the above transactions, the Company consummated the acquisition of non-controlling interests in Pop Culture, and Pop Culture does not have any non-controlling interests anymore.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company included the following entities (subsequent changes on equity holding of the entities were not included below):
Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Company believes that the VIE Agreements are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce the VIE Agreements. If the legal structure and the VIE Agreements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE and its subsidiaries were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements after the elimination of intercompany transactions:
The Company believes that there are no assets in Pop Culture that can be used only to settle specific obligations of Pop Culture except for the registered capital of Pop Culture and non-distributable statutory reserves. As Pop Culture is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of Pop Culture do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of Pop Culture. There are no terms in any arrangements, explicitly or implicitly, requiring the Company or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to Pop Culture. However, if Pop Culture were ever to need financial support, the Company may, at its discretion and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to Pop Culture through loans. |

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, intangible assets consisted of the following:
Acquired intangible assets are recognized based on their cost to the Company, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. These assets are amortized over their useful lives if the assets are deemed to have a finite life and they are reviewed for impairment by testing for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The fair value of an intangible asset is the amount that would be determined if the entity used the assumptions that market participants would use if they were pricing the intangible asset. The useful life of the Company’s intangible assets is 10 years, which is determined by using the time period that an intangible is estimated to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows.
Currently the MOVE IT project organized by the PRC operating entities, the first street dance stage play in China, is losing money; the carrying value of the amortizable intangible asset could not be recovered due to the poor financial performance, including declining customer numbers. The Company recognized a $1.0 million impairment loss for the production copyright.
For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, amortization expenses amounted to $6,911 and $146,055, respectively.
The following is a schedule, by fiscal year, of the amortization amount of intangible assets as of December 31, 2023:
