What is interesting in the statement from taat below is that the gross margin went from 38% in 2022 to just 5% with the ADCO aquisition. Read below.
Overall, the Company saw an increase in revenue and cost of goods sold, resulting in decreased gross margin percentage to 5% (April 30, 2022 – 38%). The decrease relates to the Company’s acquisition of ADCO during 2022. In the prior year, all sales were made by TAAT International LLC, whereas in 2023, ADCO contributed over 95% of the revenue.

Many have said that ADCO is a low margin business. And from statement from taat, it would appear so. IMO a 5% gross margin is very low, but most likely not low for the distribution business. Having worked in logistics I can tell you transporation is also a low margin business. From 38% to 5% gross margin is significant, imo.
