Q1 2026 earnings summary
14 May, 2026Executive summary
Transitioned from parallel-import vehicle sales to logistics and warehousing after a sharp decline in vehicle sales and profitability, formally discontinuing the vehicle segment in March 2025.
Revenue for Q1 2026 was $92,700, down 80.7% year-over-year due to reduced demand and customer activity in logistics and warehousing.
Net loss from continuing operations narrowed to $616,265 for Q1 2026, an 18.3% improvement from Q1 2025.
Completed a 1-for-200 reverse stock split effective April 20, 2026, and raised $40.14 million in a private placement in February 2026.
Agreed to acquire a Hong Kong-based industrial equipment trading company and disposed of Edward Transit Express Group, Inc. in April 2026.
Financial highlights
Gross profit for Q1 2026 was $19,867, with a gross margin of 21.4%, compared to $56,256 and 11.7% in Q1 2025.
General and administrative expenses fell 23% to $770,004, driven by lower legal, payroll, rental, and insurance costs.
Interest income decreased to $151,142 from $208,090 year-over-year, due to lower average outstanding loan balances.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.5 million for Q1 2026.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026, were $713,948.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects continued operating losses and negative cash flow during the transition to logistics and warehousing, but current liquidity is considered sufficient for at least the next 12 months.
The business shift may take longer than expected to generate ideal profits, depending on market and operational factors.
The acquisition of the Hong Kong company is expected to expand international opportunities and support long-term growth.
