Management Commentary
CEO Statement by Mr. Guohua Huang: “During the six months ended December 31, 2024, we achieved stable total revenue of $8.48 million, maintaining performance in line with the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decline in net profit was primarily driven by two factors: (1) increased costs associated with our premium business solutions service, which rose proportionally with revenue growth in that segment; and (2) additional expenses incurred to accelerate our initial public offering process, including IPO advisory and compliance-related costs.
Looking ahead, we will focus on the following strategic priorities: strengthening strategic partnerships to enhance customer acquisition capabilities, and deploying AI tools across our platform to mitigate the disruptive impact of AI adoption on core service volumes.”
First Half 2024 Financial Results
Net revenues
Our net revenues decreased by US$0.05 million or 0.61% from US$8.53 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$8.48 million for the same period of 2024.

Revenue from online promotion decreased by 15.15% from US$1.89 million six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$1.60 million for the same period of 2024, mainly because SMEs have significantly curtailed marketing outsourcing expenditures, while widespread AI adoption has disrupted demand for basic design and copywriting services, collectively contributing to reduced corporate order volumes on the platform.
Revenue from premium business solutions increased by 20.70% from US$5.03 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$6.07 million for the same period of 2024, mainly because we sacrificed profit margins to drive business volume growth.
Revenue from value-added services decreased by 68.54% from US$0.96 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.30 million for the same period of 2024, mainly because the reduction in government policy subsidies under the current macroeconomic environment, the demand for qualification processing has correspondingly decreased, leading to a decline in its business scale.
Revenue from shared office rental and management decreased by 23.16% from US$0.65 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.50 million for the same period of 2024, mainly because the expiration of leases for some maker spaces has led to tenant move-outs and a corresponding decrease in revenue.
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues increased by US$1.02 million or 16.80% from US$6.07 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$7.09 million for the same period of 2024, primarily attribute to an increase in premium business solutions service.
Gross profit
Our gross profit decreased by US$1.07 million or 43.50% from US$2.46 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$1.39 million for the same period of 2024. Our gross profit margin was 16.37% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 28.83% for the same period of 2023, primarily attribute to an increase in low-margin premium business solutions service and a decrease in high-margin online promotion services.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses decreased by 26.60% from US$2.97 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$2.17 million for the same period of 2024.
2
Sales and marketing expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses in total decreased by US$0.76 million or 48.10% from US$1.58 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.82 million for the same period of 2024, primarily because the marketing expenses for obtaining new customers decreased US$0.69 million.
General and administrative(G&A) expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by US$0.37 million or 50.00% from US$0.74 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$1.11 million for the same period of 2024, primary because professional service fees about listing and other consulting services increased US$0.33 million.
Research and development expense. Our research and development expenses decreased by US$0.40 million or 61.54% from US$0.65 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.25 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to the development projects are in their final stages, requiring fewer resources.
Other (income) expenses, net
Total other income decreased by US$0.23 million from US$0.53 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.30 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to decrease of subsidy income.
Income(loss) before income tax
Our loss before income tax was US$484,087 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and income before income tax was US$25,901 for the same period of 2023, respectively.
Net income/loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was US$484,013 for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and net income was US$20,263 for the same period of 2023, respectively.
Financial Conditions
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.38 million, compared to $0.23 million as of June 30, 2024. Account receivable, net was $0.26 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $0.16 million as of June 30, 2024. Advance to suppliers was $0.55 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $0.25 million as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had current assets of $1.75 million and current liabilities of $10.16 million, resulting in negative working capital of $8.41 million, as compared with current assets of $1.12 million, current liabilities of $9.24 million, and negative working capital of $8.12 million as of June 30, 2024. Although the working capital is negative, overall liquidity risk remains manageable, primarily due to the composition of current liabilities: bank borrowings (32.3% of total current liabilities) and related-party loans (23.01%). The bank loans do not have concentrated repayment schedules, and related-party loans are repayable based on the company’s operational performance.
