Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2024

Revenues

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s total revenue was US$35.6 million and US$50.3 million, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in wholesale revenue from US$50.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2023 to US$35.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2024.

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company established its market share and intentionally selected higher margin orders, this resulted in decreased revenue but increased gross profit with higher profit margin over its products. All revenues were generated from Hong Kong.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by product category for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Smartphones

For the years ending September 30, 2024 and 2023, smartphone revenue represented 73.8% and 81.8% of total revenue, respectively. The decline was due to a drop in units sold from 149,032 to 67,448 as a result of a strategy prioritizing higher-margin orders. This led to an increase in average unit cost from $248 to $319 and in selling price from $272 to $390.

Tablets

Tablet revenue remained steady at about 7.3% of total revenue for both years. Units sold decreased from 44,603 to 31,066, driven by a lower market demand. The average cost per unit fell from $74 to $71, while the selling price slightly rose from $82 to $83.

Laptops and Others

Revenue from laptops and other products increased from 10.9% to 18.9% of total revenue. Units sold rose from 61,617 to 65,703, fueled by the market demand and the Company’s focus on higher-margin orders, boosting gross profit margins from 8.3% to 17.8%. This increase in revenue was due to higher sales amid a reduced total revenue amount.

Cost of Revenues

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the cost of revenues was US$29.3 million and US$45.3 million, respectively.

The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in acquisition volume by 35.7% from 255,252 units to 164,217 units, respectively, offset by an increase in acquisition cost for smartphones as explained above.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was US$6.3 million and US$5.0 million, respectively, of 17.8% and 9.9%, respectively, of operating revenue. The increase of gross profit margin was mainly due to the Company’s intentional selection of higher margin orders after building up its market share during the year ended September 30, 2024.

Selling and marketing expenses

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, selling and marketing expenses were US$32,738 and US$34,132, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the Company’s efforts to control the expenses in the sales department for the year ended September 30, 2024.

General and administrative expenses

For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the general and administrative expenses remained stable, both at approximately US$1.1 million.
