Overview
Current report
We are a fast-growing U.S.-based warehousing and logistics service provider that offers a comprehensive package of supply-chain solutions relating to warehouse management and order fulfillment.
Current report
With the boom of e-commerce and Internet technology, along with the development of global supply chains, a growing number of merchants are seeking to sell their products through international e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon and eBay. These merchants, however, are confronted with major logistical challenges because of the complexities involved in shipping goods across borders. Specifically, when a foreign consumer places an order online, it can take a long time for the goods to be delivered from one country to another (especially for bulky items), while facing high damage rates and congestion during peak seasons. One of the solutions to such problems is to set up overseas warehouses, which are local storage facilities established in a foreign country where the cross-border merchants intend to sell their goods. Cross-border e-commerce merchants can export goods in batches in advance to overseas warehouses, which can then be delivered to overseas consumers once orders are placed via e-commerce platforms. As a result, the delivery time and the rate of damaged and lost packages may be reduced significantly, therefore enhancing the shopping experience of consumers.
Current report
We provide one-stop warehousing and logistics services to cross-border e-commerce merchants outside the U.S. who seek to sell in the U.S. market. We currently operate nine warehouses across the country, with an aggregate gross floor area of approximately 2,765,667 square feet. Aside from a nationwide footprint and large storage space, our warehouses are equipped with automated sorting systems, heavy-duty forklifts, and pallets and trays that are suitable for processing bulky items. As a one-stop warehousing and logistics service provider, we offer a full spectrum of services, including (i) customs brokerage services; (ii) transportation of merchandise to U.S. warehouses; and (iii) warehouse management and order fulfillment services, which further include (a) product storage and retrieval, (b) product packing and labeling, (c) kitting and repackaging, (d) order assembly and load consolidation, (e) inventory management and sales forecasting, (f) third-party distribution coordination, and (g) other value-added services. We also provide warehousing and logistics services to our U.S.-based commercial customers, who are typically domestic e-commerce merchants seeking efficient and reliable warehousing and logistics solutions to support their operations. In general, the warehousing and logistics services we provide to our domestic customers are similar to those we provide to our overseas customers. This allows us to provide integrated solutions for our customers, whether they need domestic or international warehousing and logistics support. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had an active customer base of 156, 105, and 83, respectively, for our warehousing and logistics services.
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had total revenue of $42.5 million and $41.2 million, and net loss of $4.6 million and net income of $2.8 million, respectively. While we do not have any subsidiaries, assets, or employees in the PRC, we generate a significant portion of our revenue from customers based in China. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated approximately 85% and 95% of our revenue from PRC-based customers, respectively.
Current report
Our overall gross profit (loss) margin decreased from 12.7% for the for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to (8.5%) for the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase of the surcharge by UPS and the decreases in customer order volume, as well as some of the recently leased warehouses that are not fully utilized.

Previous report
Our revenue increased by $8.3 million, or 27.6%, to $38.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $30.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was due to the effect of following factors:
Previous report
Our overall gross profit margin decreased from 20.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 8.6% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to our expansion into the Fontana, California warehouse and the temporary disruption of operations in California as inventory was relocated to a new facility. Although the profit margins of our transportation services (e.g. FedEx, ocean freight, and truck deliveries) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, remained stable or slightly higher compared to the previous year, the profit margins for our warehousing services experienced a decrease during the same period. This decline is attributable to increases in the rental expenses, salary and benefits, temporary labor expenses, and warehouse expenses of approximately 101%, 159%, 93%, and 565%, respectively, despite a relatively modest increase in warehousing services revenue of approximately 50.5%.
Previous report
Our freight expenses, rental expenses (primarily warehouse operating lease expenses), temporary labor expenses, and salary and benefits increased significantly by $14.4 million, $10.9 million, $4 million, and $3.2 million, respectively, during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increases in these expenses were all due to the growth of our revenue in transportation services and warehouse services.
Previous report
Our overall gross profit margin decreased from 21.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 to 13.3% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to our expansion into the Fontana, California warehouse and the temporary disruption of operations in California, as inventory was relocated to a new facility. Although the profit margins of our transportation services (e.g. FedEx, ocean freight, and truck deliveries) for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, remained stable or slightly higher compared to the previous year, the profit margins for our warehousing services experienced a significant decrease during the same period. This decline is attributable to increases in the rental expenses, salary and benefits, temporary labor expenses, and warehouse expenses of approximately 110%, 138%, 75%, and 569%, respectively, despite a relatively modest increase in warehousing services revenue of approximately 49.2%.
Previous report
Our general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million, from $7.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 to $8.1 million for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 16%.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
