Material Changes vs. Prior Period
Compared to Q1 2024, total revenue decreased by $3.80 million (31%).

Conversely, SMS & MMS revenue surged by $8.16 million (100,427%) from $0.01 million.
Cost of revenue decreased by $3.81 million (33%), leading to a slight increase in gross profit of $0.02 million (3%). However, the net loss increased by $0.39 million (31%) due to higher operating expenses. General and administrative expenses rose by $519,787 (38%), and research and development expenses increased by 4% to $178,993.
Outlook, Commentary, and Risks
Management attributes the revenue shift to a strategic reallocation of resources toward the higher-margin SMS & MMS segment. CEO Martin Shen noted a challenging market environment but highlighted improved gross profit and reduced costs of revenue.
Future revenue drivers include increased usage of the "Da Ge" app (650,000 active subscribers), continued investment with Insuretec partners, and progress on the Sapientus big data platform. The company expects cloud-based services and lifestyle apps to contribute meaningful revenue later in fiscal 2025, aiming for increasing revenue and improved margins to approach profitability.
