First Half 2024 Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations

In June 2024, we discontinued our restaurant business and started to focus on owing, operating and managing commercial real estate properties going forward. Since the commercial real estate business is a newly added business line, revenue from our continuing business only amounted to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. because only two months of revenue was reported. We expect our revenue from the commercial real estate business will continue to grow in the near future.

Cost of revenues from continuing operations

In line with our newly added commercial real estate rental business, we reported cost of revenues from continuing operations of $0.07 million. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 64.74% for the first half of 2024, compared to 129.50% for the same period of the prior year.

Gross profit (loss) and gross profit (loss) margin from continuing operations

Gross profit from continuing operations was $0.04 million for the first half of 2024, compared to gross loss of $226 for the same period of the prior year.

Gross profit margin was 35.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 29.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was due to higher gross profit margin for our commercial real estate business.
