Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Continued operations- logistics and warehousing business
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $354,126 from its logistics and warehousing service segment, including $52,684, or 14.9%, of its total revenue following the acquisition of Edward Transit Express Group Inc. ("Edward") in February 2024, and $301,442, or 85.1 % of its total revenue, following the acquisition of TW & EW Services Inc. ("TWEW") in December 2024.
Revenue from Edward decreased by 43.7%, primarily due to i) a temporary suspension in U.S.-China ocean freight activities in April 2025 after the U.S. government's threat in late March 2025 to impose higher tariffs on goods imported from China, partially offset by ii) stabilized trade flow in May and June 2025 following the resumption of trade negotiations between the two countries since May 2025.
The Company has taken proactive measures to navigate the business by increasing labor and logistics service business during the second quarter of 2025.
The Company also reported cost of revenue of $319,226, mainly the labor and logistics costs for TWEW and ocean freight service cost for Edward, and a gross profit of $34,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses for the Company's continuing operations decreased by $60,050, or 6.9%, to $805,305 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $865,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to (i) a decrease of $111,188 in legal and accounting fees as we incurred additional professional fees for preparing a registration statement on Form S-1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, (ii) a decrease of $33,786 in payroll and benefits expense due to staff optimization and cost-saving measures following the initial hiring to support the newly launched logistics and warehousing segment, (iii) a decrease of $17,662 in insurance expenses resulting from a change in the Company's insurance provider, (iv) a decrease of $76,145 in recruiting expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as the prior-year period included significant hiring efforts associated with the launch of the Company's logistics and warehousing segment, partially offset by (iv) an increase of 126,782 in rental and leases following the acquisition of Edward and the relocation of the Company's headquarters to California in July 2024, (v) an increase of $12,055 in travel and entertainment expenses as part of business development efforts and client engagement, (vi) an increase of $20,476 in other miscellaneous general and administration expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and (vii) an increase of $19,418 in depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily due to the acquisition of new fixed assets and recorded intangible assets from Edward and TWEW acquisitions.
Share-based compensation expenses were $10,444 and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest income from continuing operations was $272,228 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $28,241 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $243,987, or 863.9%. The significant increase was primarily driven by interest earned on short-term loan receivables and certificates of deposit, funded by the net proceeds from the Company's public offerings closed in May and July 2024.
The Company had a net loss of $512,528 from its continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loss of $550,022 for the same period of 2024.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue of $200,297 from the parallel-vehicle business. Only one vehicle was sold during this quarter following the significant downturn of parallel-import vehicle business in the PRC.
The Company also reported cost of revenue of $215,843, mainly the fulfillment expenses and a gross loss of $15,537 of the discontinued business for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Selling expenses and interest expenses for the discontinued parallel-import vehicle business were $19,422 and $27,899, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue from Edward decreased by 32.4%, primarily due to i) a temporary suspension in U.S.-China ocean freight activities in April 2025 after the U.S. government's threat in late March 2025 to impose higher tariffs on goods imported from China, partially offset by ii) stabilized trade flow in May and June 2025, following the resumption of trade negotiations between the two countries since May 2025.
