Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for six months ended December 31, 2025 is set forth below:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this discussion other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We primarily conduct our business in mainland China through the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) operating entities, while gradually expanding a modest presence in Hong Kong and overseas through our offshore entities. Originally focused on hip-hop culture, we have since evolved into a diversified performing arts and entertainment group, dedicated to promoting pan-Chinese pop culture. Our integrated ecosystem spans both online and offline platforms, and encompasses the following: (1) live entertainment events (including concerts, music festivals, street dance competitions, artist management and agency services, and other performances); (2) digital entertainment services; (3) other services.
For live entertainment services, the operating entities deliver high-quality and immersive cultural experiences to clients and end-users primarily by providing artist management and agency services, and in limited cases by organizing concerts, music festivals, street dance competitions, artist management and agency services, Chinese Pop events, and other live activities. The operating entities generate revenue from offering sponsorship packages to advertisers in exchange for sponsorship fees, and providing related services. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the operating entities participated in three large-scale concerts and touring projects, serving 8 corporate clients. These events collectively attracted approximately 5,145,300 social media engagements, representing an increase from 300,000 social media engagements in the same period of 2024.
For digital entertainment services, the operating entities offer customized digital marketing solutions services to clients by leveraging extensive internet media resources, enabling effective brand promotion campaigns. Revenue from digital entertainment increased by 79%, from US$37.18 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$66.57 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, primarily attributable to (i) the changing consumer trends that increase the public dependence on digital channels (especially short-form video platforms) for brand and product information; and (ii) the budget reallocation by clients, the material expansion in corporate online marketing expenditures directed toward our internet media-based solutions.
For other services, the operating entities generate service revenue through digital collectible sales to individual collectors, SaaS software services to hip-hop dance training institutions, property subleasing of company-leased facilities to third parties, and other ancillary service offerings for service fees. Other revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was US$0.66 million, which represents an increase of US$0.61 million, compared to that in the six months ended December 31, 2024.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed a strategic investment totaling approximately $33,000,000 in Bitcoin (BTC), representing 300 BTC. As at 31 December 2025, the market price of Bitcoin decreased. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of such Bitcoin assets to their fair value at that date.
On July 8, 2025, the Company closed a private placement pursuant to certain subscription agreements dated July 8, 2025 with 10 investors. The Company issued and sold an aggregate of 50,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 10,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, to the investors at a price of $0.50 per share and $0.55 per share, respectively, with total gross proceeds of $30.5 million.
On September 8, 2025, the Company changed its dual foreign name to 华流文化集团有限公司.
On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.01 each to the investors at a purchase price of US$1.20 per share, in a registered direct offering of $6 million of its securities.
KEY FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In assessing our financial performance, we consider a variety of financial performance measures, including principal growth in net revenue and gross profit, our ability to control costs and operating expenses to improve our operating efficiency and net income. Our review of these indicators facilitates timely evaluation of the performance of our business and effective communication of results and key decisions, allowing our business to respond promptly to competitive market conditions and different demands and preferences from our customers. The key measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was US$68.90 million, representing an increase of US$27.09 million, or 65%, year-over-year.

Revenue from live entertainment services, which includes artist management and agency services, as well as event hosting, planning, and execution, decreased by 63% from US$4.58 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$1.68 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to the rationalization of end-market demand and the fading of revenge consumption. Consumer preferences have become more concentrated on top-tier IPs and high-reputation live entertainment content. Non-headline and homogenized events experienced a sharp decline in box office performance, with revenue halved in many cases. As a result, corporate clients adopted a prudent investment stance and primarily engaged in project-based cooperation for A-list artist IP resources. The above factors collectively resulted in a reduction in our live entertainment revenue.
Revenue from digital entertainment services increased by 79% from US$37.18 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$66.57 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily attributable to the trend of increasing online promotion budgets of advertisers.
Revenue from other services amounted to US$0.65 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of US$0.61 million compared with the corresponding period in 2024. Revenue from other services primarily comprises income from software development services, digital collectible sales and rental income. The year-on-year increase was mainly attributable to the recognition of US$0.65 million rental income during the current six-month period. Such rental income will no longer be recurring, as Heliheng, the subsidiary generating this stream of rental income, has been disposed of.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2025 increased by 67% to US$67.06 million from US$40.11 million of the previous period.
The cost of revenue was derived from the following sources:

Cost of Live Entertainment Revenue
Cost of live entertainment revenue decreased by 64% from US$4.35 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$1.59 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, which was generally in line with the decrease in the revenue from this segment.
Cost of Digital Entertainment Revenue
Cost of digital entertainment revenue increased by 81% from US$35.74 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$64.84 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, which was in line with the growth in the revenue from this segment.
Cost of Other Services Revenue
Cost of other services revenue increased by 3,084% from US$0.02 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$0.63 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025, which mainly resulted from the rental cost and was generally in line with the increase in the revenue from other services. Such rental cost will no longer be recurring, as Heliheng, the subsidiary generating this stream of rental income, has been disposed of.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit increased by US$0.14 million from US$1.71 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024 to US$1.85 million in the six months ended December 31, 2025. Gross margin was 3% in the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 4% in the six months ended December 31, 2024. The lower gross profit margin mainly resulted from lower gross margin for digital entertainment services. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, digital entertainment services contributed 94% of the total gross profit, which mainly resulted from the 97% revenue contribution of this segment. However, the gross margin of this segment decreased to 3% during the six months ended December 31, 2025, from 4% for the previous period. The decrease of the segment was mainly because the operating entities decreased service prices in order to maintain their market share. In addition, gross margin for other services during the six months ended December 31, 2025 also decreased to 4% from 63% during the same period of 2024 due to lower margin rental service taking the majority of this segment during the six months ended December 31, 2025.

| ● | Allowance of credit loss was recorded a negative amount of $8.17 million during the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.02 million in the previous period.

Other income (expenses) for the Period
Other expenses, net was US$13.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to US$0.03 million during the same period of 2024. The other expenses mainly attributed to a loss resulted from fair value change on invested securities of $8.38 million and a loss resulted from fair value change on digital assets of $6.65 million, offset by $1.47 million gain on disposal of a subsidiary and $0.61 million gain on disposal of distressed assets.
Operating Profit for the Period
Operating profit was US$6.58 million during the six months ended December 31, 2025, compared to an operating profit of US$2.72 million during the same period of 2024.
Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expenses amounted to US$26,578 and US$139,982 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease resulted from the lower taxable income after considering deferred tax effect.
Net Profit for the Period

POP CULTURE GROUP CO., LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Xiamen Pop Culture Co., Ltd (“Pop Culture” or the “VIE”) was incorporated in Xiamen, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) on March 29, 2007 under the laws of the PRC. Pop Culture hosts entertainment events and provides event planning and execution services and brand promotion services to corporate clients.
Reorganization
On January 3, 2020, Pop Culture Group Co., Ltd (“Pop Group” or the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
On January 20, 2020, Pop Culture (HK) Holding Limited (“Pop HK”) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pop Group formed in accordance with laws and regulations of Hong Kong. Pop HK is a holding company and holds all the equity interests of Heliheng Culture Co., Ltd. (“Original WFOE” or “Heliheng”), which was established in the PRC on March 13, 2020.
On March 30, 2020, Original WFOE entered into
a series of agreements with Pop Culture and the shareholders of Pop Culture who collectively held
Between February and May 2020, the Company and its shareholders undertook a series of corporate actions, including share issuances in February 2020, re-designation of ordinary shares of the Company into Class A and Class B ordinary shares in April 2020, and share issuances and transfers in May 2020.
The above-mentioned transactions, including the
incorporation of Pop Group, Pop HK, and Original WFOE, the entry into the Original VIE Agreements, the share issuances, share re-designation,
and share transfers, were considered a reorganization of the Company (the “Reorganization”). After the Reorganization, Pop
Group ultimately owns
In accordance with ASC 805-50-25, the Reorganization has been accounted for as a recapitalization among entities under common control since the same controlling shareholder controls all these entities before and after the Reorganization. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries and the VIE have been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, ASC 805-50-45-5 indicates that the financial statements and financial information presented for prior years shall also be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.

Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Company believes that the Original VIE Agreements are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce the Original VIE Agreements. If the legal structure and the Original VIE Agreements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:
| ● | revoke the business and operating licenses of the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE; |
| ● | discontinue or restrict the operations of any related-party transactions between the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE; |
| ● | limit the Company’s business expansion in China by way of entering into contractual arrangements; |
| ● | impose fines or other requirements with which the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE may not be able to comply; |
| ● | require the Company or the Company’s PRC subsidiary and its VIE to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; or |
| ● | restrict or prohibit the Company’s use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance. |
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIE and its subsidiaries were included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements after the elimination of intercompany transactions:
| As of December 31, | As of June 30, | |||||||
| 2025 | 2025 | |||||||

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