Part IV. (3) Anticipated Significant Changes in Results of Operations
We anticipate reporting the following significant changes in the results of operations from the 2025 fiscal year.
Net Sales Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $16.72 million, an increase of 73% from $9.69 million for the year of 2024. This increase in net sales resulted primarily from 102% increase in average selling price, while partially offset by 15% decrease in sales volume. Our three largest selling product categories for the year ended December 31, 2025 were marbles slabs, sofa and coffee tables, which accounted for approximately 47%, 30% and 5% of sales, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the three largest selling categories were sofas, beds and coffee tables, which accounted for approximately 50%, 13% and 8% of sales, respectively.
The $7.06 million increase in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year of 2024, was mainly due to increased sales to Hong Kong. Sales to Hong Kong increased by 100% to $7.92 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0 million for the year of 2024, such increase mainly due to we sold marble slabs to one customer in Hong Kong. The increase in sales was partially offset by decrease in sales to North America and other countries. Sales to North America decreased by 8% to $8.72 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $9.44 million for the year of 2024, such decrease mainly due to decrease in sales volume by 29% from the customers in North America. Sales to other countries decreased by $0.17 million to $0.09 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $0.25 million for the year of 2024, primary due to less sales order received from our customers in other countries.
Cost of Sales Cost of sales consists primarily of costs of finished goods and materials purchased from third-party manufacturers. Total cost of sales increased by 131% to $12.54 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.44 million for the year of 2024. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 75% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 56% for the year of 2024. The increase in cost of sales in dollar term and in cost of sales as a percentage of sales are a result of selling marble slabs with low profit margin.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. Operating expenses were $6.11 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $9.61 million for the year of 2024. Selling expenses decreased by 12%, or $0.18 million, to $1.38 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $1.56 million for the same period of 2024, primarily due to decreased marketing and advertising expenses. Also, general and administrative expenses decreased by 22%, or $1.32 million, to $4.74 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $6.06 million for the year of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in consulting fee of $1.20 million, insurance of $0.13 million and design fee of $0.09 million, while the decrease was partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fee of $0.34 million and auditing fee of $0.09 million. In addition, research and development expenses decreased by 100%, or $1.97 million to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $2.00 million for the year of 2024, primary due to we did not spent additional fee on our AI-driven smart living solutions and IT system in 2025.
Other Expenses, Net Other expenses, net was $0.07 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to other expense, net of $0.20 million for the year of 2024, representing a decrease in other income of $0.13 million. The decrease in other income was due primarily to an increase in non-operation income of $0.63 million from $4,496 in the same year of 2024 to $0.64 million in 2025, while the increase in other income partially offset by increase in loss on impairment of goodwill of $0.22 million, loss on disposal of fixed assets of $0.19 million since Nova Malaysia was de-registered in 2025.
Net Loss As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $1.42 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.56 million of net loss for the year of 2024.
