Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue was $96.5 million, compared to $20.7 million in the prior year period, representing an increase of 367%. The increase primarily attributable to increases in cost of revenue from supply chain trading business.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 18% to $21.6 million, from $18.3 million in the prior year period, consistent with growth in revenue. Gross margin was 18.3% and 46.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the increases in direct cost of revenue from supply chain trading business.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses slightly increased by 1% to $6.3 million from $6.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to decreases in selling expenses, offset by the increase in general and administrative expenses and research and development ("R&D") expenses.

  • Selling expenses decreased by 85% to $0.3 million from $1.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly a result of the Company's efforts in cutting marketing costs.
  • General and administrative expenses increased by 35% to $5.2 million from $3.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly because of increased professional and staff compensation in the first half of fiscal 2022.
  • R&D expenses increased by 31% to $0.8 million from $0.6 million in the prior year period. The increased R&D expenses were primarily used to enhance and develop the functionalities of the Company's supply chain solutions apps and platforms.

Other Income (Expense), net

The Company had a net other income of $2.8 million, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to foreign exchange gain realized from capital injection into PRC operating entities in the first half of 2022.

Net Income

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company achieved a net income of $14.4 million, compared to $10.5 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to significant increases in revenue and gross profit from financing solution services.
