Financial Results for the Six Months Ended Mar 31, 2024
Total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 55.3% to $19.9 million, as compared to $12.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company attributed the revenue growth to a continued acceleration in demand for its advanced digital content and services, and the ability to maintain high standards of quality and efficiency through ongoing development and utilization of AI technologies.
Cost of revenues increased slightly to $8.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $7.8 million in the same period last year. The Company noted that this underscores the efficiency and scalability of its strong business model, achieving 55.3% year-over-year revenue growth with only a slight increase in cost of revenues.
Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 135.1% to $11.8 million from $5.0 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by the significant increase in overall revenue and the resources previously invested for sustainable development.
Total operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 17.5% to $5.1 million, compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year. This is primarily due to the addition of public company related expenses that were not required in the year ago period, combined with investments in support of the Company's growth initiatives.
Operating income for the six months ended March 31, 2024 surged by 811.7% to $6.7 million, compared to $0.67 million in the same period last year. This increase was primarily driven by significant revenue growth, an efficient operational business model, and stringent cost control.
Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 1859.5% to $10.3 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to $0.52 million, or $0.02 per share, in the same period last year.
R&D investments for the six months ended March 31, 2024, were $0.8 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period last year, reflecting capitalization of certain R&D investments into intangible assets, particularly the creation and accumulation of reusable 3D digital assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's digital assets surpassed 100,000, further enhancing profitability and positioning for future growth.
Total current assets were $17.8 million as of March 31, 2024, including $8.2 million in cash and short-term investments.
