Anticipated Changes
We anticipate that we will report the following changes in the results of operations from the 2023 fiscal year:
Revenue We anticipate that we will report that our sales were $3.46 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which decreased by $1.40 million, or 28.8% from $4.86 million in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Cost of goods sold We anticipate that we will report that for the year ended December 31, 2023, cost of revenues decreased by $0.50 million, or 23.1%, to $1.67 million from $2.17 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Gross profit We anticipate that we will report that our gross profit was $1.79 million in 2023, compared to gross profit of $2.69 million in 2022.
General and administrative expenses We anticipate that we will report that general and administrative expenses amounted to approximately $7.36 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, $3.95 million or 115.7% higher than $3.41 million for the previous fiscal year.
General and administrative expenses include system development fee, staff salary and benefits, legal and professional fees, office expenses, travel expenses, entertainment, IT consultancy and support services expenses, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets. The spike increase is mainly due to the recognition of IPO-related expenses from being successfully listed at Nasdaq.
