Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 11.2%, to approximately $9.4 million in fiscal 2024 from approximately $8.4 million in fiscal 2023. The increase in revenue was principally due to increase of rent revenue of $0.9 million in fiscal 2024, with a stable tuition revenue in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2024, the Company had $nil revenue generated from construction and sale of vacant lands.

Revenue from rent increased by $0.9 million, or 13.1%, from $7.1 million in fiscal 2023 to $8.0 million in fiscal 2024. The increase in rent revenue was mainly due to the revenue generated from the newly purchased office building in September 2022. In fiscal 2023, it generated rental income of $4.9 million for 6 months and in fiscal 2024, it generated rental income of 6.6 million for 12 months. In addition, one office building was sold in June 2023 which generated rental income of $0.7 million in fiscal 2023 and less than $0.2 million rental income in fiscal 2024. The rental income in general decreased in fiscal 2024 due to economic downward post to pandemic.

Revenue from tuition income increased by $0.1 million, or 1.4%, from $1.3 million in fiscal 2023 to $1.4 million in fiscal 2024. The total tuition income was stable for fiscal 2024 and 2023. However, the tuition income from Toronto Eschool decreased by $0.1 million in fiscal 2024, and the tuition income from Max the Mut College of Animation ("MTM") increased by $0.2 million in fiscal 2024, and tuition revenue from other educational subsidiaries, including Lowell Academy, Toronto Art Academy and Conbridge are all decreased slightly in fiscal 2024. The increase of tuition revenue from MTM was mainly due to increase of tuition fee per student consistent with the inflation past pandemic.

Gross profit and Gross Margin

Our gross profit decreased by $1.2 million, or 32.5%, to $2.5 million in fiscal 2024 from $3.7 million in fiscal 2023. Gross margin was 27.1% in fiscal 2024, as compared with 44.6% in fiscal 2023. The decrease of 17.5% in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the lower gross profit margin for our rental business segment because of the increased costs in connection with the newly purchased office buildings with low occupancy rates and the higher gross profit margin from our education segment due to lower staffing costs.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $79,252, or 6.5%, from $1,227,424 in fiscal 2023 to $1,148,172 in fiscal 2024. The decrease was mainly due to an increase of $1.1 million on amortization (i) from two buildings transferred from assets held for sales to used propert and equipment as we change in our future plans in fiscal 2024 and (ii) the full-year amortization of office building purchased in September 2022, partly offset by the decrease of our office expenses, travel expenses, commission expense and insurance. Our general and administrative expenses represented 12.2% and 14.6% of our total revenue for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Professional fees

Professional fees increased by $1,939,241, or 200.2%, from $968,435 in fiscal 2023 to $2,907,676 in fiscal 2024, representing 31.0% and 11.5% of our total revenue for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. The increase was mainly due to a total of $1.9 million consulting fee settled by our common shares in fiscal 2024. Our regular legal and accounting fees were stable and slightly decreased from the prior year.

Salaries and compensations

Salaries and compensations decreased by $324,288 or 28.5%, from $1,1,36,676 in fiscal 2023 to $812,388 in fiscal 2024, representing 8.7% and 13.5% of our total revenue for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The significant decrease was mainly due to the reduction of our budget on our administrative team in both of our rental business and our educational business.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense increased by $2.8 million, from $3.0 million in fiscal 2023 to $5.8 million in fiscal 2024. The significant increase was mainly due to the increase of prime rate by Bank of Canada (from 2.7% as of April 1, 2022 to 7.20% as of March 31, 2024) which has significant impact on all our outstanding mortgages with variable interest rates and the increase of two private 2nd mortgage with principal balance of $6.7 million in the middle of fiscal 2023.

Government subsidies

We received $nil, $109,723 and $490,171 from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy program in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Impairment expenses

In fiscal 2024, we recorded impairment loss of $49,784 for the property and equipment at MTM due to out of date for its computer and software used in animation education. In fiscal 2022, we recorded impairment loss of $379,165 for the intangible assets and goodwill in connection with the private high schools and Conbridge College, a private college because we are in the process of improving the efficiency of the operations, streamlining the business lines to focus on its core education sector, and optimizing the structure of the vocational educational business. There was no such impairment loss record based on our assessment in fiscal 2023.

Warrants expense

We recorded $893,878 debt component and $443,208 embedded derivatives at the inception date on September 19, 2022 and recognized day 1 loss of $1,565,570 due to fair value assessment. From the inception date to March 31, 2023, we further recorded loss on change in fair value of warrants liabilities of $251,237 for share warrants. On May 15, 2023, we entered into exchange agreement with the convertible note holders and 66,667 common shares were issued (1,000,000 before the share consolidation at 15:1) to exchange for Series B warrants. The deal was closed on May 15, 2023. For fiscal 2024, we recognized gain of $1,536,494 on Series A and B warrants on change of fair value of warrant liabilities recognized. There was no warrant liabilities or corresponding changes in valuation in fiscal 2022.

Loss on convertible debenture valuation

In fiscal 2023, we recorded loss of $157,010 on change in fair value of a convertible note with a debt component and the embedded derivative components issued on September 19, 2022. In June 2024, the convertible note holders elected to convert the outstanding principal of $1.5 million, along with the accrued interest of $147,130 into 449,977 (6,749,650 shares before the share consolidation) common shares. In fiscal 2024, we recognized a gain of $367,663 on fair value of the embedded derivative components. There was no convertible note or corresponding changes in valuation in fiscal 2022.

We had other income of $22,764, $23,605 and $20,709 in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, mainly from referral commissions.

Loss before income taxes

We had income before income taxes of approximately $1.5 million in fiscal 2024, as compared to loss before income taxes of approximately $4.4 million in fiscal 2023. The increase of income before income taxes was primarily attributable to a gain of $8.6 million on disposal of four rental property, a gain of $1.9 million on fair value assessment on warrants and embedded derivative components with the convertible notes before the conversion, as well as increased other expenses as discussed above.

Recovery for current and deferred income taxes

We had no provision of current income tax in fiscal 2024 due to losses carried forward from prior years, as compared to an income tax recovery of $64,768 in fiscal 2023 as we had loss before tax. We also had a deferred income tax expense of $574,209 in fiscal 2024.

Net income (loss)

We had net income of $967,249 and net loss of $3,572,108 for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 respectively.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.1 million in fiscal 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of approximately $0.3 million in fiscal 2023. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the following factors:

  • Prepayments and other receivable increased by approximately $0.7 million in fiscal 2024, compared with an increase of approximately $0.4 million in fiscal 2023. The increase was mainly due to the payments made by Visionary Shanghai to start its business in China in fiscal 2022.
  • Deferred revenue decreased by approximately $0.4 million in fiscal 2024 compared with an increase of approximately $0.9 million in fiscal 2023. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in student enrollments in fiscal 2024.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $13.1 million in fiscal 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $63.4 million in fiscal 2023.
