Revenue and cost of revenue: During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated revenue of $1,176,936, which represents a slight decrease of $32,068 or 2.7% compared to the same period in the prior year. Because of a new income stream from a client engaged in live streaming business, the Company’s operating revenue in RMB was actually increased compared to the prior period. Therefore, the decrease in operating revenue when measured in USD was due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $114,554, which represented a decrease of $197,925 or 63.3% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in cost of revenue is mainly due to the absence of direct operating costs related to digital training services used in the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, direct operating costs related to these services were $202,350.
Gross profit: The gross profit was $1,062,382 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which represented an increase of $165,857 or 18.5% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the temporarily suspension of digital training services, which typically had lower profit margins in compared with other services offered by the company. As a result, the profit margin increased to 90% compared to 74% in the prior period, leading to an increase in gross profit.
Selling expenses: During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $1,439 selling expenses, which represented a decrease of $15,156 or 91.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease of selling expenses was mainly due to the tightening of entertainment policies and no staff costs incurred in selling activities during the current period.
General and administrative expenses: During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $423,502 general and administrative expenses, which represented an increase of $112,214 or 36% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Our general and administrative expenses consisted mainly of audit fees, professional fees, payroll expenses and consultancy fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in audit and service fees related to the filing of a registration document during the period. Additionally, certain staff costs that were previously classified as selling expenses were reclassified as general and administrative expenses to better reflect their nature.
Total other income, net: During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred net other income of $86,289, which represented a decrease of $15,533 or 15.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The different was mainly due to certain sundry income generated in the prior year that did not recur in the current period. Our net other income mainly consisted of bank interest income, exchange rate differences and sundry income.
Net income: As a result of the above, we generated a net income of $431,457 and $391,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents: As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $7,089,325 and $7,193,591 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, respectively were held at financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong that management believes to be of high credit quality.
