Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 1.6% QoQ and 2.2% YTD, driven by a 5.1% increase in sales volume (Q2) and 8.9% increase (YTD), partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in average selling prices (Q2) due to lower demand for higher-priced medical and industrial products.
• Margin Compression (Q2): Gross margin declined to 33.1% from 39.7% in Q2 2024. This was primarily due to a 13.5% increase in raw material costs and a 3.3% increase in labor costs.
• Expense Management: Selling expenses dropped 66.7% QoQ due to reduced travel costs (shift to online marketing). However, General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 12.5% QoQ and 92.3% YTD, driven by professional fees and the amortization of prepaid market research fees.
• Interest Expense Elimination: Interest expense was $0 in 2025 compared to $1.17 million in YTD 2024, as all convertible promissory notes were fully repaid in February 2024.
• Cash Flow Improvement: Operating cash flow turned positive at $4.68 million YTD 2025, compared to a negative $5.34 million in YTD 2024, largely due to improved working capital management and net income.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Facility Construction: The company is constructing a new facility in Chengdu, Sichuan. Completion is estimated by the end of 2025, with production commencing in Q2 2026. Remaining capital commitment is approximately $0.7 million.
• Product Mix Shift: Management is actively shifting production from lower-end to high-end products (POS and industrial control touchscreens) to improve margins, though average selling prices have recently declined due to market demand shifts.
• Internal Control Material Weakness: The company disclosed that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025. Material weaknesses include a lack of competent financial reporting personnel with US GAAP expertise and insufficient risk assessment procedures. Remediation plans are ongoing.
• Key Risks:
  • Customer Concentration: Top 10 customers accounted for 99.6% of revenue in Q2 2025.
  • China Operations: Risks related to PRC regulations, currency convertibility (RMB), and potential delisting under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if PCAOB inspections are incomplete.
  • Supply Chain: Reliance on third-party suppliers and absence of long-term contracts.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Internal Controls: Verify the progress of remediation for the material weakness in financial reporting and the hiring of qualified US GAAP personnel.
• Customer Concentration: Assess the stability of the top 10 customers who represent nearly 100% of revenue.
• New Facility Timeline: Monitor the construction progress of the Chengdu facility and the ability to commence production in Q2 2026 without further delays.
• Margin Sustainability: Evaluate whether the shift to high-end products will successfully reverse the recent trend of declining average selling prices and gross margins.
• Accounts Receivable: Review the aging of receivables, which increased to $10.7 million (up from $7.5 million at year-end), noting that Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) increased to 89 days.
