Revenue increased 6.50% to a record 52.89 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024<\/span> from approximately $49.66 million<\/span> for the six months ended March 31, 2023<\/span>. During the first fiscal half of 2024, we observed an increase of demand for our piping products, primarily attributable to the real estate market recovery during the fiscal period. Raw materials price, especially the price of nikel which is an important component of stainless steel, also increased. To minimize the impact the rise of raw material price, we increased our weighted average selling price (“ASP”) during the period. Gross profit increased by 5.68% to $3.35 million<\/span>. Gross margin was 6.33%, compared to 6.38% for the same period of the prior fiscal period. The rising costs of raw materials, particularly for stainless steel coil which is a key component of our products, has ourpaced the increase of our ASP which led to a slight decline in gross margin. Loss from operations was $0.16 million<\/span>, compared to income from operations of $0.14 million<\/span> for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Operating margin was -0.31%, compared to 0.29% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net loss was $0.48 million<\/span>. This compared to a net loss of $0.06 million<\/span> for the same period of the prior fiscal year.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Revenue increased 6.50% to a record 52.89 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024<\/span> from approximately $49.66 million<\/span> for the six months ended March 31, 2023<\/span>. During the first fiscal half of 2024, we observed an increase of demand for our piping products, primarily attributable to the real estate market recovery during the fiscal period. Raw materials price, especially the price of nikel which is an important component of stainless steel, also increased. To minimize the impact the rise of raw material price, we increased our weighted average selling price (“ASP”) during the period. Gross profit increased by 5.68% to $3.35 million<\/span>. Gross margin was 6.33%, compared to 6.38% for the same period of the prior fiscal period. The rising costs of raw materials, particularly for stainless steel coil which is a key component of our products, has ourpaced the increase of our ASP which led to a slight decline in gross margin. Loss from operations was $0.16 million<\/span>, compared to income from operations of $0.14 million<\/span> for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Operating margin was -0.31%, compared to 0.29% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net loss was $0.48 million<\/span>. This compared to a net loss of $0.06 million<\/span> for the same period of the prior fiscal year.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
