Victory Square invests in early-stage technology companies. Increases and decreases in the value of those companies have the greatest impact on the results of operations of the Company from quarter to quarter. It is within the business cycle to see periods of net losses when first investing in a new company, spending up to 48 months incurring expenses and building the business, and then in subsequent periods realizing the gains and revenues from those early investments.
The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, is primarily due to the fair value write-down on portfolio investments due to the market environment as well as operating losses from consolidated subsidiaries.
Revenue
Topline revenue for the three-months ended March 31, 2024, was $5,052,069. GAAP Revenue for the three-months ended March 31, 2024, was $3,559,675 compared to $2,851,471 for the comparative period.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three-months ended March 31, 2024, was $2,146,272 compared to $1,370,139 for the comparative period.
