Key Terms

gross merchandise volume, enterprise resource planning, convertible notes, derivative liabilities, +1 more
5 terms
gross merchandise volume financial
"charges service fees based on gross merchandise volume (GMV)."
Gross merchandise volume is the total dollar value of all goods and services sold through a sales platform or marketplace during a given period, measured before subtracting fees, returns, discounts or other adjustments. Investors use it to gauge the size and momentum of a business—like counting every dollar that passes through a busy market to assess demand—but it is not the same as company revenue or profit since the operator typically retains only a portion.
enterprise resource planning technical
"no enterprise resource planning development expenses being recognized in the current period."
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a comprehensive software system that helps organizations manage and coordinate their core activities—such as finance, supply chain, human resources, and manufacturing—within a single platform. It streamlines operations by providing real-time information, enabling better decision-making. For investors, ERP systems indicate how efficiently a company runs and can signal its ability to adapt and grow in a competitive market.
convertible notes financial
"convertible notes in the amount of $10 million issued in October 2024"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
derivative liabilities financial
"Fair value changes in derivative liabilities generated a gain of $501,544"
Derivative liabilities are obligations a company records when it owes money under financial contracts whose value depends on something else, like interest rates, stock prices, or currencies. Think of them as bets or insurance policies that can create future cash payments; they matter to investors because they can cause sudden changes in a company’s reported debt, profits and cash flow and reveal exposure to market risks that could affect valuation.
regulation s regulatory
"The shares were issued under Regulation S and were not registered"
Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.

The decrease reflects management’s strategic initiatives to downsize lower-margin, volatile legacy standalone product distributions.

Revenues from integrated e-commerce services decreased by approximately $811,000, or 30.01%, from approximately $2.70 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $1.89 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, which was mainly driven by fully managed e-commerce operation services. Revenues from fully managed e-commerce operation services dropped by approximately $727,000, from approximately $2.59 million to $1.86 million. Under this model, the Company handles end-to-end store operations for merchants and charges service fees based on gross merchandise volume (GMV).

Revenues from the new headset trademark and patent licensing business were $720,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s proprietary headphone brand and patented audio algorithms have been introduced to overseas markets through a licensing model, with third party manufacturers handling manufacturing and sales.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, a total of 72,000 units were sold.

Revenues from training and consulting services decreased by approximately $7,000, or 19.78%, from approximately $32,981 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $26,459 for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

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

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. Cost of revenues for integrated e-commerce services rose approximately $22,000, or 12.49%, from $174,063 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to $195,807 for the six months ended March 31, 2026. 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. Costs for digital marketing declined due to the termination of the related business.

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. This was mainly impacted by the decline in integrated e-commerce services, which contributed $1.69 million in profit with an 89.64% margin for the six months ended March 31, 2026, down from $2.53 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. 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. Headset trademark and patent licensing contributed $720,000 in gross profit with a 100.00% margin.

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.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors above, net loss decreased by approximately $1.42 million, or 45.91%, from approximately $3.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, to approximately $1.67 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026.
