Revenue

Total revenues were $2.95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased by 3.1% from $2.86 million for the same period of last year. The overall increase in revenue was mainly resulted from the increase of hardware sales.

  • Revenue generated from software sales was $0.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 29.5% from $1.10 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly due to decrease of software sales to large customers.
  • Revenue generated from tax devices and services was $0.86 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 10.5% from $0.96 million for the same period of last year.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit was $1.50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.84 million for the same period of last year. Gross margin was 50.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 64.4% for the same period of last year.

  • Selling expenses were $325 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 99.9% from $291,272 for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly because of the decrease of the Company's sales commission in connection with obtaining new orders in 2023.
  • General and administrative expenses were $0.99 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased by 25.9% from $0.79 million for the same period of last year.

Operating Income

Operating income was $0.51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.76 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in operating income in 2022 was primary due to the decrease in gross profit.
