Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been consistently applied. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2024.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the principal activities of the Company’s main operation subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States Dollars (“$”). The Company uses the United State Dollars as its reporting currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. The Company evaluates inventories on a yearly basis for its net realizable value adjustments, and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and future demand of each type of inventories.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets 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 of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available.
Fair value of financial instruments
The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements and enhances disclosure requirements.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
Financial instruments include cash, loans payable to third parties, short-term and long-term loans, and convertible senior notes. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term maturities.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers in amounts of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company follows the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:
1) | Artificial Intelligent Education (AIE) service: |
To provide modular technical services (such as simulation teaching module, three dimensions teaching module, virtual reality module) to academic and professional training centers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers.
2) | Artificial Intelligent Universe (AIU) IAAS service: |
To provide computing resources for data calculation services (such as engineering and scientific research project data calculation and accuracy verification) and for commercial services (such as film and television special effects, 3D animation, advertisement rendering and visualization) to our customers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consist of costs directly attributable to the performance of AIE and AIU services which are mainly services provided by third parties.
Lease
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of- use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its actual incremental borrowing rates to discount the lease payments.
The Company leases premises for offices under non-cancellable operating leases. Right-of-use assets are expensed over the term of lease. The Company leases do not include options to extend nor any restrictions or covenants. The Company has historically been able to renew its office leases. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has no legal or contractual asset retirement obligations at the end of the lease.
F-10
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.
The Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as income tax expense.
Share-based compensation
The Company applies ASC 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation - Stock Compensation, to account for its employee share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All the Company’s share-based awards to employees were classified as equity awards.
In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation cost for equity awards to employees with a performance condition based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. Compensation cost is recognized if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
A change in any of the terms or conditions of the awards is accounted for as a modification of the awards. Incremental compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the fair value of the awards and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested awards, the Company recognizes incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurs. For unvested awards, the Company recognizes over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date. If the fair value of the modified award is lower than the fair value of the original award immediately before modification, the minimum compensation cost the Company recognizes is the cost of the original award. When the vesting conditions (or other terms) of the equity awards granted to employees are modified, the Company first determines on the modification date whether the original vesting conditions were expected to be satisfied, regardless of the entity’s policy election for accounting for forfeitures. If the original vesting conditions were not expected to be satisfied, the grant date fair value of the original equity awards are ignored and the fair value of the equity awards measured at the modification date are recognized if the modified awards ultimately vest.
The Company uses the accelerated method to recognize compensation expense for all awards granted. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the fair value of the awards granted to employees. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”) and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
An award that is cancelled without a replacement award or other form of consideration given to the grantee should be accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. If an award is cancelled before the completion of the employee’s requisite service period or nonemployee’s vesting period, any previously unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized at the date of the cancellation. Because a cancellation is not the forfeiture of an award, previously recognized compensation cost is not reversed in connection with a cancellation.
F-11
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income/(loss) is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes using the if-converted method and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are not reported separately for Class A or Class B ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) as each class of shares has the same rights to undistributed and distributed earnings.
Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making Company, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has only one reportable segment since the Company does not distinguish revenues, costs and expenses by operating segments in its internal reporting, and reports costs and expenses by nature as a whole. The Company’s CODM, who has been identified as the CEO, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company as a whole. As the Company generates all of its revenue in the British Virgin Islands, no geographical segments are presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In September 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The FASB is issuing the amendments to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. While investors find these disclosures helpful, they suggested possible enhancements to better (1) understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. The FASB decided that the amendments should be effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. 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 report contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this report 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.

Revenues
Revenues increased by $6.4 million, or 48.9%, to $19.4 million for the first half of 2024 from $13.0 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributed to average service revenue increased from $1.1 million for the first half of 2023 to $1.9 million for the first half of 2024, which contributed to an increase of $8.5 million in service revenue. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the number of services from 12 services for the first half of 2023 to 10 services for the first half of 2024, which resulted in a decrease of $2.2 million in service revenue.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues increased by $8.9 million, or 123.4%, to $16.0 million for the first half of 2024 from $7.2 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributable to additional costs incurred for providing artificial intelligent education and artificial intelligent universe IAAS services to the customers which caused by an increase in production technicality and the use of computing power in providing those services.
Gross profit and gross margin.
As a result of the factors set out above, gross profit decreased by $2.5 million, or 42.6%, to $3.4 million for the first half of 2024 from $5.8 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin decreased from 44.9% for the first half of 2023 to 17.3% for the first half of 2024. The decrease in gross margin was mainly attributable to an increase in production technicality and increase in computing power which led to an increase in production costs and reduced gross margin.
2
Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.04 million, or 100.0%, to $0.04 million for the first half of 2024 from nil for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributable to sales and marketing staff salaries for the artificial intelligent education and artificial intelligent universe IAAS services which we employed in second half of 2023.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 353.4%, to $4.2 million for the first half of 2024 from $0.9 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in headcount which caused an increase in staff salaries as well as service fees charged by New York Stock Exchange.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $0.3 million, or 25,200%, to $0.3 million for the first half of 2024 from $1,000 for the same period of last year. The increase in interest income was mainly attributable to the increase in bank balances as well as the increase in interest rates.
Interest expenses
Interest expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 49.6%, to $4.3 million for the first half of 2024 from $2.9 million for the same period of last year. The interest expenses were mainly due to higher average interest rates on loans for the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period of last year.
Income from continuing operations
As a result of the factors set out above, we had $5.3 million net loss from continuing operations for the first half of 2024 as compared to net income from continuing operations of $2.0 million for the first half of 2023.
Loss from discontinued operations
Loss from discontinued operations decreased by $0.4 billion, or 100%, to nil for the first half of 2024 from loss of $0.4 billion for same period of last year. The decrease in loss from discontinued operations was mainly attributable to the Company completed the disposition of its wholly owned subsidiary, OneSmart Edu Inc., to the purchaser, Muckle Capital Investment Co., Ltd on November 25, 2022.
Net income
As a result of foregoing factors, the net loss was $5.3 million for the first half of 2024 as compared to net loss of $412.9 million for the same period of last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may need dividends and other distributions on equity from our subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements.
As of February 29, 2024, we had cash of $67,837 and a positive working capital of $87.9 million. For the first half of 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $202.5 million
Management believes that the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. Management is of the opinion that we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in our plan. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise which might result in shortfalls to what is anticipated, such as the demand for our services, economic conditions, the competition in the industry, and our bank and suppliers being able to provide continued support. If the future cash flow from operations and other capital resources is insufficient to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to obtain additional debt or equity capital, or refinance all or a portion of our debt.
3
Indebtedness. As of February 29, 2024, we have $61.2 million syndicated loans and $35.0 million convertible senior notes. Beside this indebtedness, we did not have any finance leases or purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that we provide financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to or engages in hedging or research and development services with us.
Capital Resources. The primary drivers and material factors impacting our liquidity and capital resources include our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations and renew loans, as well as proceeds from equity and debt financing, to ensure our future growth and expansion plans.
Working Capital. Total working capital as of February 29, 2024 amounted to $87.9 million, compared to $6.0 million as of August 31, 2023.
Capital Needs. Our capital needs include our daily working capital needs and capital needs to finance the development of our business. Our management believes that income generated from our current operations can satisfy our daily working capital needs over the next 12 months. We may also raise additional capital through public offerings or private placements to finance our business development and to consummate any merger or acquisition, if necessary.
Cash flows.

Summary of significant accounting policies | Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been consistently applied. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2024.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the principal activities of the Company’s main operation subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates
In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign currency
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States Dollars (“$”). The Company uses the United State Dollars as its reporting currency.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. The Company evaluates inventories on a yearly basis for its net realizable value adjustments, and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and future demand of each type of inventories.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets 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 of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available.
Fair value of financial instruments
The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements and enhances disclosure requirements.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
Financial instruments include cash, loans payable to third parties, short-term and long-term loans, and convertible senior notes. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term maturities.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers in amounts of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company follows the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:
To provide modular technical services (such as simulation teaching module, three dimensions teaching module, virtual reality module) to academic and professional training centers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers.
To provide computing resources for data calculation services (such as engineering and scientific research project data calculation and accuracy verification) and for commercial services (such as film and television special effects, 3D animation, advertisement rendering and visualization) to our customers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consist of costs directly attributable to the performance of AIE and AIU services which are mainly services provided by third parties.
Lease
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of- use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its actual incremental borrowing rates to discount the lease payments.
The Company leases premises for offices under non-cancellable operating leases. Right-of-use assets are expensed over the term of lease. The Company leases do not include options to extend nor any restrictions or covenants. The Company has historically been able to renew its office leases. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has no legal or contractual asset retirement obligations at the end of the lease.
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.
The Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as income tax expense.
Share-based compensation
The Company applies ASC 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation - Stock Compensation, to account for its employee share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All the Company’s share-based awards to employees were classified as equity awards.
In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation cost for equity awards to employees with a performance condition based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. Compensation cost is recognized if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
A change in any of the terms or conditions of the awards is accounted for as a modification of the awards. Incremental compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the fair value of the awards and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested awards, the Company recognizes incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurs. For unvested awards, the Company recognizes over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date. If the fair value of the modified award is lower than the fair value of the original award immediately before modification, the minimum compensation cost the Company recognizes is the cost of the original award. When the vesting conditions (or other terms) of the equity awards granted to employees are modified, the Company first determines on the modification date whether the original vesting conditions were expected to be satisfied, regardless of the entity’s policy election for accounting for forfeitures. If the original vesting conditions were not expected to be satisfied, the grant date fair value of the original equity awards are ignored and the fair value of the equity awards measured at the modification date are recognized if the modified awards ultimately vest.
The Company uses the accelerated method to recognize compensation expense for all awards granted. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the fair value of the awards granted to employees. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”) and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
An award that is cancelled without a replacement award or other form of consideration given to the grantee should be accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. If an award is cancelled before the completion of the employee’s requisite service period or nonemployee’s vesting period, any previously unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized at the date of the cancellation. Because a cancellation is not the forfeiture of an award, previously recognized compensation cost is not reversed in connection with a cancellation.
Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income/(loss) is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes using the if-converted method and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are not reported separately for Class A or Class B ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) as each class of shares has the same rights to undistributed and distributed earnings.
Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making Company, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has only one reportable segment since the Company does not distinguish revenues, costs and expenses by operating segments in its internal reporting, and reports costs and expenses by nature as a whole. The Company’s CODM, who has been identified as the CEO, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company as a whole. As the Company generates all of its revenue in the British Virgin Islands, no geographical segments are presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In September 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The FASB is issuing the amendments to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. While investors find these disclosures helpful, they suggested possible enhancements to better (1) understand an entity’s exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and the ensuing risks and opportunities, (2) assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, and (3) identify potential opportunities to increase future cash flows. The FASB decided that the amendments should be effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Feb. 29, 2024 | |||||||
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation | Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been consistently applied. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the principal activities of the Company’s main operation subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
||||||
Use of estimates | Use of estimates In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||||||
Foreign currency | Foreign currency The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States Dollars (“$”). The Company uses the United State Dollars as its reporting currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
|
||||||
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. The Company evaluates inventories on a yearly basis for its net realizable value adjustments, and reduces the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and future demand of each type of inventories. |
||||||
Impairment of long-lived assets | Impairment of long-lived assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets 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 of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. |
||||||
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements and enhances disclosure requirements. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. Financial instruments include cash, loans payable to third parties, short-term and long-term loans, and convertible senior notes. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term maturities. |
||||||
Accounts payable | Accounts payable Accounts payable represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.
|
||||||
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers in amounts of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company follows the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:
To provide modular technical services (such as simulation teaching module, three dimensions teaching module, virtual reality module) to academic and professional training centers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers.
To provide computing resources for data calculation services (such as engineering and scientific research project data calculation and accuracy verification) and for commercial services (such as film and television special effects, 3D animation, advertisement rendering and visualization) to our customers. Service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis. Upon delivery of services, project completion inspection and customer acceptance are generally required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the performance obligation is satisfied and accepted by the customers. |
||||||
Cost of revenues | Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consist of costs directly attributable to the performance of AIE and AIU services which are mainly services provided by third parties. |
||||||
Lease | Lease The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of- use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its actual incremental borrowing rates to discount the lease payments. The Company leases premises for offices under non-cancellable operating leases. Right-of-use assets are expensed over the term of lease. The Company leases do not include options to extend nor any restrictions or covenants. The Company has historically been able to renew its office leases. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has no legal or contractual asset retirement obligations at the end of the lease.
|
||||||
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate. The Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income as income tax expense. |
||||||
Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation The Company applies ASC 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation - Stock Compensation, to account for its employee share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All the Company’s share-based awards to employees were classified as equity awards. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation cost for equity awards to employees with a performance condition based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. Compensation cost is recognized if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. A change in any of the terms or conditions of the awards is accounted for as a modification of the awards. Incremental compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the fair value of the awards and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested awards, the Company recognizes incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurs. For unvested awards, the Company recognizes over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date. If the fair value of the modified award is lower than the fair value of the original award immediately before modification, the minimum compensation cost the Company recognizes is the cost of the original award. When the vesting conditions (or other terms) of the equity awards granted to employees are modified, the Company first determines on the modification date whether the original vesting conditions were expected to be satisfied, regardless of the entity’s policy election for accounting for forfeitures. If the original vesting conditions were not expected to be satisfied, the grant date fair value of the original equity awards are ignored and the fair value of the equity awards measured at the modification date are recognized if the modified awards ultimately vest. The Company uses the accelerated method to recognize compensation expense for all awards granted. The Company, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the fair value of the awards granted to employees. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”) and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. An award that is cancelled without a replacement award or other form of consideration given to the grantee should be accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. If an award is cancelled before the completion of the employee’s requisite service period or nonemployee’s vesting period, any previously unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized at the date of the cancellation. Because a cancellation is not the forfeiture of an award, previously recognized compensation cost is not reversed in connection with a cancellation.

Earnings/(Loss) per share | Earnings/(Loss) per share Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income/(loss) is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes using the if-converted method and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are not reported separately for Class A or Class B ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) as each class of shares has the same rights to undistributed and distributed earnings. |

As the Company generates all of its revenue in the British Virgin Islands, no geographical segments are presented. |
