Six Month Financial Results Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue. Revenue decreased by approximately 10.8% from approximately US$9.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$8.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. During the six-month period ending on March 31, 2024, the Company experienced a decline in revenue for its integrated cross-border logistics services compared to the corresponding period in 2023. This decrease in revenue was attributed primarily to the implementation of relatively higher average sales prices by the Company in 2024, which subsequently led to a decrease in sales demand and volume from customers.
Gross profit. Gross profit increased by approximately 131.7% from approximately US$0.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which was mainly attributed to the lower freight costs and higher sales unit prices.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 85.6% from approximately US$0.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which was mainly due to (i) increase in travelling, accommodation and entertainment expenses due to increase in travelling for business development following the removal of travel restriction measures; (ii) increase in audit fees and (iii) increase in legal fees and other professional expenses.
Other income (expense), net. Other net income (expense) decreased by approximately US$0.2 million from other income of approximately US$73,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to other expense of approximately US$142,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which was mainly due to the exchange loss from the depreciation of Australian dollars during the period of 2024.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased by approximately US$74,000 from approximately US$66,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$140,000 for the for the six months ended March 31, 2024 which was due to the increase in tax assessable profit.
Net income. Net income increased by approximately US$0.5 million from approximately US$0.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$0.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which was mainly due to the increase in gross profit.
