Sales of in-park recreation

Revenue from sales of in-park recreation was $30.1 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased by 23.52% from $39.4 million in fiscal year 2022. This decrease was mainly because (i) Mangshi Jinsheng Amusement Park was initially closed for electrical maintenance from November 2022 to April 2023, and (ii) all of the other parks experienced decreases in park attendance due to facility safety maintenance from June 2023 to September 2023.

Rental income

Revenue from rental income was $1.5 million in fiscal year 2023, increased by 39.04% from $1.1 million in fiscal year 2022. Such change was primarily attributable to (i) the rental payment from the Children’s Castle project, which started to generate revenue in Yueyang Amusement World on October 1, 2022; and (2) the rental payment from the electricity-free park attractions, which started to generate revenue in Tongling West Lake Amusement World on May 1, 2023.

Park service fees

Revenue from park service fees was $0.2 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased from $1.3 million in fiscal year 2022. Park service fees decreased mainly because a fewer number of gourmet festivals and circus performances were held in the parks. Some of the special events held in the 2022 fiscal year were organized by the local government to help the business during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was less of such government help in the fiscal year of 2023.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was $12.5 million in fiscal year 2023, increased by 7.32% from $11.6 million in fiscal year 2022. The increase in cost of revenue was mainly due to the increased facility safety maintenance fees.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $19.3 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased by 35.97% from $30.2 million in fiscal year 2022.

Gross profit margin was 60.76% in fiscal year 2023, decreased from 72.19% in fiscal year 2022.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $8.6 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased by 4.28% from $9.0 million in fiscal year 2022. This decrease was mainly attributable to (i) an increase of $0.83 million in general and administrative expenses, or G&A expenses, and (ii) a decrease of $1.22 million in selling expenses.

The $0.83 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting fees (including brokerage fees and lawyer fees, etc.), in connection with our initial public offering.

The $1.22 million decrease in selling expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising fees.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.2 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased by 33.17% from $6.3 million in fiscal year 2022. We are subject to the standard income tax rate of 25% under the PRC tax laws.

Net Income

Net income was $6.5 million in fiscal year 2023, decreased by 54.29% from $14.3 million in fiscal year 2022.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $0.2 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $22.4 million as of September 30, 2022.
