We also plan to keep investing in research and development and offering innovative and cost-effective products to our customers. We are committed to delivering high-quality products to our customers and generating long-term value for our shareholders."

First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was $7.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, which decreased by 52.0% from $15.6 million for the same period of last year.

The following table sets forth revenue by interconnect products:

	For the Six Months Ended September 30,										Change
($ millions)	2023		%			2022		%			Amount		%
Cables and wire harnesses		6.9		91.8	%		14.5		93.0	%		(7.6)		(52.6)	%
Connectors		0.6		8.2	%		1.1		7.0	%		(0.5)		(43.5)	%
Total		7.5		100.0	%		15.6		100.0	%		(8.1)		(52.0)	%

Revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses decreased by 52.6%, to $6.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $14.5 million for the same period of last year. Revenue generated from connectors decreased by 43.5%, to $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $1.1 million for the same period of last year.

The decrease in our revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales volume. We experienced a contraction in demand, primarily because a number of our customers had purchased our products in advance in fiscal year 2022 and the first half of fiscal year 2023 in anticipation of higher supply chain costs. Customers also preferred reduced inventory, due to uncertainties about macroeconomic conditions.

The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

	For the Six Months Ended September 30,										Change
($ millions)	2023		%			2022		%			Amount		%
Europe		4.3		57.8	%		9.8		62.8	%		(5.5)		(55.8)	%
Asia		2.4		31.8	%		4.7		29.8	%		(2.3)		(48.7)	%
Americas		0.8		10.4	%		1.2		7.4	%		(0.4)		(32.9)	%
Total		7.5		100.0	%		15.6		100.0	%		(8.1)		(52.0)	%

Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 55.8%, to $4.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $9.8 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of sales in Denmark, Hungary and Finland.

Revenue generated from Asia decreased by 48.7%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $4.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in China of $1.5 million, and sales decreases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $0.8 million.

Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 32.9%, to $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $1.2 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in Northern America of $0.4 million.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 48.7%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $10.2 million for the same period of last year, which was in line with the decrease of the total revenue.

Inventory costs amounted to $3.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.9 million for the same period of last year. The decrease of inventory costs was primarily due to a 51.5% decrease in the total sales volume and an 8.5% decrease in the inventory cost per unit.

Labor costs amounted to $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease of labor costs was primarily due to the reduction in the number of our manufacturing employees.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased by 58.1%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $5.4 million for the same period of last year.

Gross profit margin decreased by 4.4%, to 30.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from 34.8% for the same period of last year. The gross profit margin was generally on par with the same period of 2022.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by 23.2%, to $2.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $3.3 million for the same period of last year. The expense reduction was mainly due to the decreases in the selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.

Other Income/(Expenses)

Other income decreased by 37.0%, to $0.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $1.0 million for the same period of last year. The decrease included an increase in foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million.

Net Income

Net income decreased by 85.4%, to $0.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023, from $2.8 million for the same period of last year.
