Rhea-AI Summary

UC Asset LP is expected to report a revenue increase of approximately $2.3 million and an operative cost decrease of approximately 55% for the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The cost reduction is attributed to management's efforts to cut expenses. The company aims to achieve a net profit of more than $0.10 per share for the whole year.

ATLANTA, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- UC Asset LP (OTCQB: UCASU) management announces today that the company is expected to report a revenue increase of approximately $2.3 million, and an operative cost decrease by approximately 55% , for the first half of the year 2023 over the same period of the year 2022, based on unaudited financial results.

"While part of the surge in revenue may be due to the change of overall market situation which is beyond the company's control, the 55% cost reduction should be mostly attributed to the management's effort, " says Jason Armstrong, manager of UC Asset.

The company announced in July last year that it would focus on improving profitability, for which a major part is to cut expenses.

"Our operating expenses decreased significantly across the board (except for depreciation) for the first half of 2023, compared to the same period in 2022," confirms Armstrong. 

"In particular, 1) management fees decreased by more than 44%, due to a change proposed by the management team with the intention to reduce management fees; 2) Professional fees decreased by approximately 29%, mostly due to termination of the plan for a Secondary Public Offering; 3) other general and administrative cost decreased by more than 70%, mostly due to decrease of marketing and advertisement costs and travel costs; 4) interest expenses decreased by more than 75%, mostly due to paid-off of our construction loans; and 5) loss on disposal of asset decreased from $39,100 to $0."

Armstrong cautions that the above results may change in the audited report, but he believes that there is no reason for audited results to be substantially different. 

Subject to auditing, the company is expected to report $0.06 per share net profit for the first half of the year. Armstrong confirms that the goal of the company is to achieve more than $0.10 per share net profit for the whole year.  

UC Asset had reported profits in previous years, including the year of 2020 and 2021. In the year 2021, it reported $0.13 per share net gain of assets, and distributed $0.10 per share dividend. However, the company suffered a loss in 2022, mostly due to loss from marketable securities on stock market. 

In April 2023, independent stock research firm, Litchfield Hills Research LLC, released its initial analysis report on UC Asset LP (OTCQB: UCASU), which rates UCASU as "Buy", and sets its target price at $4.00 per share, using its model of discounted future earnings.
