Prospectus Supplement No. 7
(To prospectus dated July 8, 2024)
AB INTERNATIONAL GROUP CORP.
Up to 4,500,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This Prospectus Supplement No. 7 supplements the prospectus dated July 8, 2024, relating to the resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to 4,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock), of AB International Group Corp. ("AB International," "we," "us", "our" or the "Company"), a Nevada corporation. Shares amounting to 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock are purchasable by Alumni Capital pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement that we entered into with Alumni Capital on June 13, 2024 (the "Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have the right to "put"," or sell, at our discretion, up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of Common Stock to Alumni Capital. This arrangement is also sometimes referred to herein as the "Equity Line" and the $5,000,000 amount is sometimes referred to herein as the "Commitment Amount." The 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement would only represent approximately $420,000 using 70% of the lowest daily VWAP for the five days ending on July 3, 2024, which is far below $5,000,000 (the full amount of the Purchase Agreement). As a result, given our stock price, we may only be able to raise a small portion of the entire commitment amount under the Purchase Agreement.
Shares amounting to 1,500,000,000 are purchasable upon exercise at $0.00128 per share by Alumni Capital pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The number of shares under the Common Stock Purchase Warrant is subject to change based on the following formula: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Commitment Amount, less the exercise value of all partial exercises prior to the Exercise Date, divided by (ii) the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date. The exercise price per was calculated by dividing $3,000,000 by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of June 13, 2024. The exercise price is subject to change based on a change in the number of our outstanding shares.
We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by Alumni Capital (referred to herein as the "Selling Stockholder"). However, we may receive up to an aggregate of $5 million in proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock to Alumni Capital pursuant to the Equity Line and up to $2.5 million in proceeds if Alumni Capital exercises the Common Stock Purchase Warrant.
This Prospectus Supplement No. 7 incorporates into our prospectus the information contained in our attached Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2025, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on April 14, 2025, Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 9, 2025, Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 15, 2025, Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2025, and Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2025.
You should read this Prospectus Supplement No. 7 in conjunction with the prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto.

This Prospectus Supplement No. 7 is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto.

[ ] | Written communications pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act (17CFR 230.425) |
[ ] | Soliciting material pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.14a-12) |

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).
Emerging growth company [ ]
If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. [ ]
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The securities were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a "public offering," as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the Investors agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 14, 2025, our sole director, Chiyuan Deng, approved his bonus compensation for serving as our Chief Executive Officer. We have agreed to bonus Mr. Deng with 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
AB International Group Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013. The Company is an Intellectual Property (IP) investment and licensing company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the acquisition and distribution of movies, TV shows and music.
On January 27, 2025, the Company sold its proprietary broadcasting platform (ABQQ.tv). Subsequently, the Company entered into an arrangement with a third-party platform to broadcast its film and TV drama copyrights in March 2025. The Company continues to engage in the sale and purchase of film and drama copyrights as one of the revenue-generating activities.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AB International Group Corp. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2024 derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2024.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary App Board Limited and AB Cinemas NY, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is presented at invoiced amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer's payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after efforts at collection prove unsuccessful. No allowance was recorded for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Currency Transactions
The financial risk arises from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility in these rates. Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.
Prepayments
Prepayments primarily consist of payments made to acquire the copyrights and distribution rights of movies and TV shows, etc. Prepayments are classified as either current or non-current based on the nature and the terms of the respective agreements. These prepayments are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The allowance is also based on management's best estimate of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections and utilizations. Actual amounts received or utilized may differ from management's estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Prepayments are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. No allowance was recorded for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.
Property and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Leasehold improvement is related to the enhancements paid by the Company to leased offices. Leasehold improvement represents capital expenditures for direct costs of renovation or acquisition and design fees incurred. The amortization of leasehold improvements commences once the renovation is completed and ready for the Company's intended use. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Estimated Useful Life | ||
Furniture | 7 years | |
Appliances | 5 years | |
Leasehold improvement | Lesser of useful life and lease term |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in other income or expenses.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and amortized as follows:
• | Movie copyrights and broadcast rights: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 2 years | |
• | NFT MMM platform: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 2 years |
Amortized costs of the intangible asset are recorded as amortization expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Lease property under operating lease
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02-Leases (Topic 842) since June 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method permitted under ASU No. 2018-11. This transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases only at the date of adoption and does not require previously reported balances to be adjusted. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings and cash flows.
Impairment of Long-lived asset
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives, for impairment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired in accordance with ASC 350. Such impairment test compares the fair values of assets with their carrying values with an impairment loss recognized when the carrying values exceed fair values. For long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested 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 or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net 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 would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. Impairment losses are included in the general and administrative expense. There was no impairment loss during the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from six sources: (1) selling copyrights of movies or TV shows; (2) licensing NFT MMM platform and providing technical service; (3) movie theater admissions and food and beverage sales; (4) embedded marketing service; (5) consulting services; (6) advertising services in movie theatre.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" (ASC 820) and ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure 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. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes are determined by level 3 inputs.
No liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2025 and August 31, 2024.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" ("ASC 260"). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. As of February 28, 2025, the total number of warrants outstanding was 1,993,304,434 (See Note 9). No warrants were included in the diluted earnings per share as they would be anti-dilutive. Preferred stocks were included in the diluted earnings per share as they would be dilutive.

Reclassification
Prior period amounts of revenue from copyrights and license have been separately presented in the consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current period presentation.
Warrants
Warrants are classified as equity and the proceeds from issuing warrants in conjunction with convertible notes are allocated based on the relative fair values of the base instrument of convertible notes and the warrants by following the guidance of ASC 470-20-25-2.
Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This usually results in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium), which shall be accounted for as interest expense under Topic 835 Interest.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred income taxes assets and liabilities are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 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 tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which establishes the accounting for employee share-based awards. For employee share-based awards, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280)", which improves the disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and address requests from investors for more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. The amendments in this accounting standard update will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company's consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As of February 28, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.7 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $0.6 million. For the six months ended February 28, 2025, the Company had negative cash flow of $345,972 from its operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The future operations of the Company depend on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, and depend on whether or not the Company could obtain the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will continue to provide the additional cash to meet the Company's obligations as they become due. The Company also intends to fund operations through cash flow generated from the operations, including the expected ticket sales from Mt. Kisco movie theatre, equity financing, debt borrowings, and additional equity financing from outside investors, to ensure sufficient working capital. However, no assurance can be given that additional financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The number of shares under the Common Stock Purchase Warrant is subject to adjustment based on the following formula: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Commitment Amount, less the exercise value of all partial exercises prior to the Exercise Date, divided by (ii) the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date.

The exercise price is subject to change based on a change in the number of our outstanding shares. The aggregated fair value of the warrants was $970,945. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: market value of underlying common shares of $0.0005; risk free rate of 4.24%; expected term of 5 years; exercise price of $0.0013; volatility of 310.94%; and expected future dividends of $0.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $1,928,695 and $1,963,323 as of February 28, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of February 28, 2025 and August 31, 2024.

It was operated for years by Lesser Theaters, then bought by Clearview Cinemas. In June, 2013 it was taken over by Bow-Tie Cinemas when they took most Clearview locations. It lasted until March, 2020 when it was closed by the Covid-19 pandemic. It was announced in September 2020 that the closure would be permanent.
On May 5, 2022, we incorporated AB Cinemas NY, Inc. in New York, NY, for the purpose of operating the Mt. Kisco Theatre. The theatre started operations in October 2022. We still intend to follow the strategy of having the physical locations for movies and other media. We expect to generate increased revenue from our movie theater business line in the coming years.
On April 27, 2022, we purchased a unique Non-Fungible Token ("NFT") movie and music marketplace, named the NFT MMM from Stareastnet Portal Limited, an unrelated party, which included an APP "NFTMMM" on Google Play, and full right to the website: stareastnet.io.
NFTs are digital assets with a unique identifier that is stored on a blockchain, and NFTs are tradable rights of digital assets (pictures, music, films, and virtual creations) where ownership is recorded in blockchain smart contracts. On August 6, 2022, the Company licensed NFT MMM platform to a third party to allow access of NFTMM platform and platform data on both our app and website for one year starting from August 20, 2022 to August 19, 2023 for a monthly license fee of $60,000. Pursuant to the agreement, we also charged a one time implementation service and consulting fee of $100,000. Subsequent to the license renewal on November 1, 2023, we continued licensing the NFT MM platform to the same third party from November 1, 2023 until October 31, 2025 for a monthly license fee of $57,000. The agreement was terminated on January 31, 2025. The Company retained the ownership and copyright of the NFT MMM platform, including the APP "NFT MMM", and the website: stareastnet.io.
The information on or accessible through our websites is not part of and is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the inclusion of our website addresses in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is only for reference. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013. Our fiscal year end is August 31.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 was $1,058,543 and $1,684,893, respectively. Our total revenue reported for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024 was $385,253 and $1,187,000, respectively.
The revenue for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025, was mainly attributable to the license fee received in connection with the licensing of our NFT MMM platform, movie copyrights sales to the related and third party, fees charged for embedded marketing service, advertising services as well as the revenue generated from movie tickets and food and beverage sales from our operated movie theatre. On the other hand, for the three and six months ended February 29, 2024, was mainly attributable to the license fee received in connection with the licensing of our NFT MMM platform, movie copyrights sales to two third parties, consulting services, fees charged for embedded marketing service as well as the revenue generated from movie tickets and food and beverage sales from our operated movie theatre. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in sales of copyrights and broadcast rights during the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 as compared to the three and six months ended February 29, 2024.

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, including the streamline of costs associated with marketing, personnel, and other general and administrative expenses, along with increased professional fees associated with SEC. These costs may increase our operational costs in fiscal 2025 at various levels of operation.

Our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended February 29, 2024 was mainly the result of net loss combined with cash used in the purchase of movie and TV series broadcast right and copyright, offset by the amortization of intangible assets, and the increase in deferred revenue and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Financing activities provided $417,415 for the six months ended February 28, 2025, as compared with $43,734 used in financing activities for the six months ended February 29, 2024. Our positive financing cash flow for the six months ended February 28, 2025 was due to the proceeds from share issuance and the net proceeds from related party loans. Our negative financing cash flow for the six months ended February 29, 2024 was due to the net settlement of loans due to related party.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of February 28, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.7 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $0.6 million. For the six months ended February 28, 2025, the Company had the net cash used in operating activities was $345,972. These factors, among others, raise the substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The future operations of the Company depend on its ability to realize forecasted revenues, achieve profitable operations, and depend on whether or not the Company could obtain the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will continue to provide the additional cash to meet the Company's obligations as they become due. The Company also intends to fund operations through cash flow generated from the operations, including the expected ticket sales from Mt. Kisco movie theatre, equity financing, debt borrowings, and additional equity financing from outside investors, to ensure sufficient working capital. However, no assurance can be given that additional financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 28, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most "critical accounting polices" in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a "critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results, and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed below:
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
8 |
Table of Contents |
To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from six sources: (1) selling copyrights of movies or TV shows; (2) licensing NFT MMM platform and providing technical service; (3) movie theater admissions and food and beverage sales; (4) embedded marketing service; (5) consulting services; (6) advertising services in movie theatre.
Revenue from selling copyrights of movies or TV shows:
The Company recognizes revenue when master copy of movie or TV show is delivered, the IP is authorized and transferred to customers. The Company's contracts with customer are primarily on a fixed-price basis and do not contain cancelable and refund-type provisions.
Revenue from licensing NFT MMM platform:
The Company derives revenue from NFTMM platform license fees, which includes accessing the NFTMM platform and platform data on both app and website. The Company's contract has a two-year term, and is non-cancelable and non-refundable. In accordance with ASC 606, a 'right to access' license is recognized over the license period.
Revenue from movie theater admissions and food and beverage sales:
The Company recognizes admissions and food and beverage revenues based on a gross transaction price which are recorded at a point in time when a film is exhibited to a customer and when a customer takes possession of food and beverage offerings. The Company defers 100% of the revenue associated with the sales of gift cards and exchange tickets until such time as the items are redeemed or estimated income from non-redemption is recorded.
Revenue from embedded marketing service:
The Company derives revenue from providing the services of embedded marketing through adding advertisement into movies and TV series. The Company recognizes revenue when the advertisement is added to the movies and TV series.
Revenue from consulting services:
The Company derives revenue from providing consulting services in connection with the sales of the software-in-progress and the restructuring of a Company and bring it to IPO. The consulting service fees are recognized when the services are delivered.
Revenue from advertisement:
The Company derives revenue from playing the advertisements on the theater screen. The Company recognizes revenue when the advertisements are shown on the theater screen.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Payment terms are established on the Company's pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers' credit quality. Contact assets are recognized for in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing of when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs.

Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by revenue streams, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of February 28, 2025. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 28, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of February 28, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending August 31, 2025: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended February 28, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 15, 2025, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Anyone Pictures Limited ("APL"), whereby APL agreed to purchase 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company at $0.0002 per share for a total of $350,000.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The securities were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a "public offering," as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the Investors agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
