Total revenues for the second quarter ended December 31, 2023, were $6.7 million, compared with $20.4 million for the second quarter of the 2023 fiscal year. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the Company’s focus on increasing growth in higher-margin revenue channels.

Gross profit for the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year was approximately $0.35 million, a 48% improvement year-on-year, from approximately $0.23 million for the second quarter of the 2023 fiscal year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to initiatives mentioned above that the Company is implementing to grow gross margins.

Net loss of approximately $1.2 million for the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of the 2023 fiscal year.

Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.2 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $4.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

Outlook for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024
