Current report
As we pivoted to the logistics service business, our revenue streams for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 are categorized as follows. The logistics service revenue represented 99% and 95% of our total revenue respectively in the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, . We believe this trend will continue as we keep growing our logistics business line, and the proportion of our historical product and other services revenue is likely to keep decreasing.
Current report
Total cost of revenues decreased by 22% from $2,555,024 to $1,999,225 for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and increased by 30% from $3,647,895 to $4,751,734 for the six months ended January 31, 2025. The change was in line with change on revenue in each period.

Margins
Current report
Our gross profit decreased from $339,104 to $79,978 for the three months and from $572,881 to $308,409 for the six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to a higher growth rate on logistics costs as compared to growth rate on logistics revenue. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, our overall gross profit margin was 3.9% and 6.1%, respectively, a reduction from gross margins of 11.7% and 13.6% during the three and six months ended January 31, 2024. We are currently adopting a customer-friendly pricing strategy to build up our market share quickly. As we continue to grow, we plan to further diverse our service region to include long-distance shipping lines, which generally produce higher profit margins as compared to short-distance shipping lines within East Asia.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2024 was $433,213. This was attributable to proceeds received from private offering of common stock.

Previous 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.
Previous 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.

A breakdown of our cost of revenues is summarized as follows:
Previous 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.

International Trade Environment. 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.

During the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, our revenue decreased to $2,079,203 for the three months ended January 31, 2025 from $2,894,128 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 and increased to $5,060,143 for the six months ended January 31, 2025 from $4,220,776 for the six months ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in the second quarter was primarily attributable to decreasing order size from a major Vietnamese customer. However, we managed to grow our logistics business by 20% in the six months ended January 31, 2025 as compared to same period in 2024. And we believe the decline in the second quarter is temporary.

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.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increasing payroll expenses necessitated by the expansion of our growing logistics operations. The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a decrease in selling and marketing expenses as we tried to operate with less dependence on brokers for business development and cut commission expenses.

We started providing logistics services during the quarter ended October 31, 2023. Although the business grew rapidly during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, we may require significant capital expenditure in order to obtain additional market share. 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 in place or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

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.
