The Company’s PRC subsidiaries had cumulative net operating loss of approximately $0.8 million and $3.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, while the USA subsidiaries had cumulative net operating loss of approximately $3,163 and $3,163 as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively which may be available for reducing future taxable income.

 

As of each reporting date, management considers evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, valuation allowance of $4.8 million and $3.3 million was recorded against the gross deferred tax asset balance as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amount of the deferred tax asset is considered unrealizable because it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize this portion of the net operating loss. The net change in valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was an increase of approximately $1.5 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, and an increase of $7.0 million, respectively.
