Current report
For the three months ended October 31, 2024, our total revenue increased to $2,980,940 from $1,326,648 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the continuing growth of our global logistics service and expansion of our client base. The global logistics service contributed 93% of our total revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2024.
Current report
The rest of our business lines represented 7% of our revenue in this quarter. We expect our operations other than global logistics to continue to contribute a relatively small portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future.

Current report
Our total gross profit decreased by $5,346 to $228,431 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to decreasing gross profit from hardware product sales and other services, partially offset by a slight increase in gross profit from global logistics services. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, our total gross profit margin was 7.66%, as compared to 17.62% for the three months ended October 31, 2023. Our gross margin from our dominant business line global logistics service dropped significantly to 6.12% for the three months ended October 31, 2024 from 12.84% for the three months ended October 31, 2023. The same trend applies to our other business lines as we adopted a competitive pricing strategy to build up our client base promptly in the short term. We anticipate that our gross margin realized from logistics services will fluctuate in the short-term as the result of our pricing strategy.

Margins
Previous report
Our gross profit increased by $325,649 to $244,707 for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and by $898,530 to $817,588 for nine months ended April 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the launch and growth of our global logistics service, as discussed above. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, our overall gross profit margin was 12.6% and 13.3%, respectively, an increase from gross loss of 81% and 22% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023. Our overall gross margins increased because the gross margins from our global logistics service were 12.4% and 11.9% during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024. The revenue contributed by the growth of our global logistics service was sufficient to cover the fixed cost of revenue, such as employee compensation, for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2024, which revenue for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2023 was insufficient to cover fixed costs, which resulted in a loss. We anticipate that the gross margin realized from logistics services is likely to increase in the future as demand picks up post-pandemic with relatively stable global logistics supply.

Net loss
Previous report
The Company realized $314,296 in net cash during the nine months ended April 30, 2023, primarily because it reduced its accounts receivable balance by $622,659. In addition, the net loss was in part attributable to $210,000 in stock compensation paid, which was a non-cash item. These cash sources were partially offset by the decrease of $301,282 in accounts payable as the Company used cash to pay its vendors.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 was $268,213. This was attributable to proceeds of $513,213 received from private offering of preferred stock which was offset by the $245,000 fees paid to various service vendors which was directly related to the proposed public offering of stock.
Previous report
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended April 30, 2023 was of $72,463, which primarily attributable to our repayment of a working capital loan of $341,885 during that period. Other than existing cash resources, the funds used to repay the loan were derived from a capital contribution received amounting to $65,650, collection of a subscription receivable amounting to $50,000, and a working capital advance from a related party amounting to $61,490. Our cash balance was aided by reason of the direct payment of operating expenses by shareholders amounting to $73,369, and the payments of rent for our premises in Shenzhen China by related parties amounting to $14,727.

We are a Nevada company with operations conducted by our subsidiary Roshing, which is based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, if Hong Kong experiences any adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions due to events beyond our control, such as local economic downturn, natural disasters, contagious disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks, or if the government adopts regulations that place restrictions or burdens on us or on our industry in general, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Current wording
Economic Conditions in Hong Kong. We are a Nevada company with operations conducted by our subsidiary Roshing, which is based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, if Hong Kong experiences any adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions due to events beyond our control, such as local economic downturn, natural disasters, contagious disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks, or if the government adopts regulations that place restrictions or burdens on us or on our industry in general, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Previous wording
The demand for our shipping operation services is driven by the levels of international trade, which is in turn affected by global political, economic or social conditions. Any changes in a particular country’s trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, potentially eventually resulting in a trade war, which could increase the cost of goods and thus reduce customer demand for products if the parties have to pay tariffs which increase their prices or if trading partners limit their trade with the particular country. Our business is also susceptible to downturns and disruptions in the business activities of their direct customers that are beyond their control. If sales in a particular geographical market in which our direct customers target operate in decline, due to unstable regional and/or global political and economic conditions, such decline will likely lead to a corresponding plunge in the international trade volume which, in turn, could reduce the demand for freight forward and adversely affect our results of operations.

Previous wording
During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, our revenue increased significantly: to $1,940,346 for the three months ended April 30, 2024 from $144,013 for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and to $6,161,122 for the nine months ended April 30, 2024 from $367,113 for the nine months ended April 30, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the launch and growth of our global logistics service, which contributed 99% of our revenue in the three months ended April 30, 2024 and 96% of our revenue during the nine months ended April 30, 2024.
Current wording
For the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023
Previous wording
Total cost of revenues increased from $260,700 to $1,695,639 for the three months ended April 30, 2024 and from $448,055 to $5,343,534 for the nine months ended April 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to the growth of our global logistics services.
Current wording
Total cost of revenues increased from $1,092,871 to $2,752,509 for the three months ended October 31, 2024. The increase was in line with the growth of our global logistics services.
Previous wording
Our cost of revenues from global logistics services represented 99% and 98% of total cost of revenues during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, respectively. We did not have any cost of global logistics service in the same period in 2023 as this is a new service sector. Cost of global logistics services primarily include the cargo space charged by direct ocean carriers, freight forwarders and ancillary logistics services fees.
Current wording
Our cost of revenues from global logistics services represented 94% of total cost of revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2024. Cost of global logistics services primarily includes the cargo space charged by direct ocean carriers, fees charged by freight forwarders, fees charged for ancillary logistics services, and compensation we paid to our logistics employees.
Previous wording
With the significant increase in our operations came a significant increase in our total operating expenses, which were $226,423 and $717,683 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, compared to $197,441 and $238,876 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively. Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, commissions, advertising, rent and professional fees relating to our obligations as a public company. The increase was mainly due to the increasing commission expense we paid to agents for referring global logistics customers, and professional fees for compliance services.
Current wording
As our business grew, there was a significant increase in our total operating expenses, which were $345,581 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 as compared to $220,776 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, commissions, marketing, rent and professional fees relating to our obligations as a public company. The increase was mainly due to the increase in general and administrative expenses from $118,705 for the three months ended October 31, 2023 to $260,363 for the three months ended October 31, 2024, partially offset by a $16,883 decrease in selling and marketing expenses in the same period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable to increasing payroll expenses necessitated by the expansion of our logistics operations, as well as expenses incurred in anticipation of a securities offering as we prepare the Company to list on Nasdaq. The decrease in selling expenses during this period is attributable to decreasing commission expenses that we paid to third-parties as we became less dependent on brokers for new businesses.
Previous wording
Our income tax expense amounted to $10,051 and $22,023 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024, compared to $1,280 and $2,219 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, respectively. The change was due to the increase in revenue realized during the period.
Current wording
Our income tax expense amounted to $2,189 for the three months ended October 31, 2024 as compared to $19,113 for the three months ended October 31, 2023. The change was due to the decrease in operating income generated by Roshing during this period.
Previous wording
The Company realized net loss of $(38,797) and net income $55,805 for the three months and nine months ended April 30, 2024. However, since the Company owns only 90% of its operating subsidiary, Roshing, 10% of net income generated by Roshing was attributed to the minority interest. As a result, the net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2024 attributable to the shareholders of Tianci International was $(49,974) and $15,375, respectively. In comparison, during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $315,408 and $322,037 respectively. We believe our pivot to the logistics market gives our shareholders an opportunity to benefit from the opportunity presented by this market as the global economy recovers from the pandemic.
Current wording
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $91,948 for the three months ended October 31, 2024. As the Company owns only 90% shares of its operating subsidiary, Roshing, 10% of the net income realized by Roshing was attributed to the minority interest. Therefore, the net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2024 attributable to the shareholders of the Company was $93,056. In comparison, during the three months ended October 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,112.

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations. As of April 30, 2024, we had working capital of $733,839, as our cash amounted to $646,031, our current assets were $975,652 and our current liabilities were $241,813. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through capital contributions and advances from shareholders and by private placement of securities. At April 30, 2024 we owed $30,354 to related parties (See Note 4 to the financial statements).

We started providing shipping & freight forwarding services during the quarter ended October 31, 2023. Although the business grew quickly during its first six months, it may occur that to continue to take advantage of the opportunity offered by this business, we may require significant capital expenditure for developing our position in the market. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Current wording
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 2024, there was one accounting estimate we made that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty and was critical to our results. This was the accrual as “deferred offering costs” of amounts we have paid to professionals and others for services rendered and to be rendered in connection with a public offering of the Company’s securities. We will realize the value of these assets (and offset them against proceeds of the offering) only if the offering is placed successfully. We have accrued the payments as assets because we anticipate a successful offering. If, however, the offering fails to close, we will be required to amortize the asset as an expense.
