Financial Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenues
Our revenue was principally derived from the provision of design and fit out services and design only services. The table below sets forth the breakdown of revenue by service type for the periods indicated.
| For the six months ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| US$ | US$ | |||||||
| Design and fit out services | 803,184 | 1,186,732 | ||||||
| Design only services | 536,312 | 287,212 | ||||||
| Total | 1,339,496 | 1,473,944 | ||||||
Our design and fit out services comprise design services and interior fit-out services. Our interior fit-out services typically involve: (i) overall project management of the interior fit-out works involving implementation of the design, planning, coordinating, monitoring and supervising the project on-site all through from the beginning to completion and follow-up rectification of defects during the defects liability period; (ii) supervision of the construction and installation of interior fit-out works carried out by our subcontractors; (iii) procurement and supply of bespoke carpentry/joinery and integral furniture, fixtures and accessories; and (iv) maintenance of the interior fit-out works during the defects liability period for the projects which we undertake on an ad-hoc basis.
For design only services, our in-house designers understand the needs of individual customers and the industries they are engaged in, conceptualizing customers’ design ideas into layout plans, producing tailor-made interior design proposals to cater for individual customers’ industry needs and project documentation.
Our overall revenue decreased by US$134,448 or 9.1% from approximately US$ 1,473,944 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately US$ 1,339,496 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which was mainly attributable the combined effect of:
| (i) | the decrease in revenue from design and fit out services for the six months ended September 30, 2024 to US$803,184, compare to US$1,186,732 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was mainly due to the increase in number of projects for tender submission stage for the six months ended September 30, 2024; and |
| (ii) | the increase in revenue from design only services in relation from approximately US$287,212 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately US$536,312 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 mainly due to the increase number of design only projects for the six months ended September 30, 2024. |
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue amounted to approximately US$1,017,789 and US$876,886 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Due to the difference in nature, complexity and specification for each project, cost of revenue may vary among different projects. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the decrease in subcontracting costs on milling, painting and electrical works as a result of the decrease in the number of projects undertaken during the period and (ii) the decrease in cost of purchase of equipment, furniture and other materials on fit-out works in relation to non-residential projects.
Our cost of revenue mainly comprised subcontracting costs, purchase of equipment, furniture and other materials, staff costs, consultancy fees and other miscellaneous costs. We engage subcontractors to perform fit out works., including but not limited to milling, painting, electrical, air conditioning and other renovation works, on a project-by-project basis.
Cost of purchase of equipment, furniture and other materials mainly represented carpentry/joinery and integral furniture, fixtures and accessories procured on behalf of our clients.
Staff costs represented salaries of designers and project managers.
Consultancy fees represented fees payable to external project managers or other professional consultants.
Gross Profit
Our overall gross profit amounted to approximately US$456,155 and US$462,610 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We recorded overall gross profit margin of approximately 30.9% and 34.5% for the corresponding years, which was due to the increase in revenue from design only services. The change in overall gross profit were in line with the change in our overall revenue during the years. Our gross profit and gross profit margin are mainly affected by factors including, among others, (i) size of projects with reference to the design area; (ii) scope of work; and (iii) complexity of the design and/or construction work.
Selling and Marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses mainly represent the advertising expenses in relation to our business promotion.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were approximately US$271,703 and US$297,771 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, representing approximately 18.4% and 22.2% of the total revenue for the corresponding years, respectively. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in provision for allowance for expected credit losses and the increase in audit fee for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating lease expenses primarily represent expenses incurred on the properties leased as our office.

Net Income
