Outlook, Commentary, and Risks
Management highlighted four consecutive quarters of record revenue. CEO Martin Shen stated that if the current trajectory continues, revenue may exceed $24 million for the fiscal year ending 2022. Growth is attributed to subscriber expansion in new regions and increased corporate SMS purchases. The Company expects Big Data revenues to eventually outpace existing streams.
Operational updates include the completion of the first stage of prototyping for an insurtech model, with full completion expected by the end of the calendar year. Increased expenses were driven by consulting, staff salaries, and high data access fees from telecom companies.
