Revenues from digital marketing decreased from $76,907 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to nil for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as a result of termination of partnership with Google in January 2025.

Cost of revenues fell 74.83%, from $804,142 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $202,430 for the six months ended March 31, 2026. This was primarily due to a drop in cross-border sales costs, which declined $623,000, or 98.95%, from $630,079 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $6,623 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting reduced procurement in line with lower sales.

Within this segment, costs for fully managed e-commerce operation services increased by approximately $67,000, from $126,479 to $193,820, covering staff salaries for an expanded store operation team. Cost of revenues for headset trademark and patent licensing was nil for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as research and development expenses were recognized in prior years.

Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by approximately $281,000, or 10.43%, from approximately $2.70 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to approximately $2.42 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

The high margin was due to low operating costs, which were mostly staff salaries, with no enterprise resource planning development expenses being recognized in the current period. Cross-border sales margin fell from 21.31% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to 19.99% for the six months ended March 31, 2026, due to a change in the product mix and a reduction in high-margin items. Integrated e-commerce related services margin decreased from 93.56% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to 89.64% for the six months ended March 31, 2026, because of higher team headcount costs.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 5.04%, from approximately $4.34 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to approximately $4.12 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, mainly due to lower general and administrative expenses, which dropped 44.90%, from $3.90 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $2.15 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026. This drop was primarily attributable to a lower allowance for credit loss, which decreased from $1.34 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $0.23 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, and the absence of stock-based compensation, which was $1.21 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Selling and marketing expenses rose 910.61%, from $158,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to approximately $1.59 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as the Company invested heavily in advertisements, placements on platforms like Facebook, and participation in domestic and overseas exhibitions to promote the fully managed services and the headphone brand.
Research and development expenses increased 43.90%, from $274,371 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $394,814 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as the Company engaged external research and development firms to upgrade the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and build websites for headphone products.
Other Expenses
Other income and expenses mainly include fair value changes in derivative liabilities, net interest expenses, and non-operating income. Fair value changes in derivative liabilities generated a gain of $501,544 for the six months ended March 31, 2026. Other non-operating income decreased from $387,816 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $48,461 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as government tax refunds fell in tandem with lower cross-border sales volume. Net interest expenses decreased significantly from approximately $1.50 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $497,564 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, primarily because convertible notes in the amount of $10 million issued in October 2024, which carried an actual interest rate of 42.52% and generated $1.56 million in interest expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2025, was settled on July 16, 2025.
